Chapter 58Xavier’s P.O.VI didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that Irene wasn’t the one who has been cooking the meal that I have been eating in this house. I have known about this since the first day she served me waffles and chicken! It tasted exactly like Damian’s waffles and the chicken was also made by Damian as well because he was the only one that I knew to always add a lot of spices into food.She paused on her track and tilted her head to my side while laughing awkwardly. I knew that she was about to deny it and fool herself before me so I watched as she ran her hands through her hair, fiddling with her fingers and I could swear that she could almost gnaw on it.“Alpha Xavier, of course, I am the one who prepares all the meals in this house and no one helps me with it. I am a great cook and I am the one who has been going through the stress of preparing all the food even before I left my parent’s house. You know that no one can help me with my house chores since everyone is
Chapter 57Irene's P.O.VI was taken aback by Xavier's reaction as he burst out in laughter while I ping-ponged my gaze around while trying to grasp what was currently happening at the moment. I was expecting him to yell and act like the crazy and unpredictable Xavier that I have always known but right now, he was laughing to my face and it felt kind of warm somehow.Different thoughts raced through my mind as I closed the journal containing the food recipes while keeping it back."So, who has been making all the food I know that you are not the one who made those waffles and chicken the other time! So tell me who made it?" Xavier questioned with a grin on his face as he flashed a smile at me.I grinned ear to ear as well, scratching my hair nervously while trying to form a believable lie. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared and turned into a slight frown before he squinted at me suspiciously."I know that you are about to tell a lie! Do you even know that I can see through you
Xavier's P.O.VI was not only in a complete state of shock but I was extremely flabbergasted when Irene suddenly pushed me away from her and quickly ducked her head while fiddling with her fingers."M-Master" She stuttered, squeezing her eyes shut as she bit the corner of her lower lips as if she existed in deep regret of something. My brows furrowed in nothing but utter confusion while wondering what must have caused her to react like that. I attempted to grab her by the wrist and pull her toward me but she retracted her step backward and kept glancing behind me.I turned to look behind me only to see Steve and Kourtney standing at the door. Steve lowered his head as soon as he locked eyes with me and when I averted my gaze toward Kourtney, there was a flicker of rage in her eyes as her eyes reddened."What are you doing here? I thought you said that you wouldn't be coming back home today?" Her heart rose and fell steadily as she shot me a glare. All of a sudden she charged toward he
Irene’s P.O.VI covered my ears with my hands because of the noise that emanated up the stairs. The sound of things crashing against one another triggered all the senses inside my head, causing me to quiver in fear as buried my head between my knees. I shuddered a breath because the noise that emanated from upstairs reminded me of all the times my father would hurl objects at my mother whenever he was drunk! I didn't know why I was reacting like this but it felt like all the memories that I have locked in the further corners of my heart were recurring again.I screwed my eyes shut and pulled my knees to my chest while burying my head between my knees as u cradled my head in my hands. The door creaked open slowly, causing me to shudder a breath as I ran my hands through my hair. I didn't need any soothsayer to tell me who it was because I knew that it was no one other than Steve.A scoff escaped his lips as he bolted the door behind him. He clicked his tongue in his mouth as I raised m
Xavier’s P.O.VTrying to calm Irene was a tedious job that I never thought I would ever have to go through. She literally turned the whole room upside down and when I noticed that she wouldn’t stop her menace, I stood at the door, leaning by my side as I crossed my hands over my chest while watching as she turned things upside down, hurling breakable things against the wall while scuffling her hands through her hair.The mascara around her eyes was smeared while some were washed down with the tears that spurted out of her eyes. When she was fed up with crying, she collapsed on the bed, throwing tantrums like a child while screaming out loud and at the top of her lungs. She was screaming so loud that it felt like my eardrums were about to burst.“What in the world do you even want from me? I did everything that you told me to do! I loved you despite you taking that low life as your maid! I knew that what we shared didn’t start from the basis of love but you respected me then and you tr
Chapter 62Irene's P.O.VSlowly, Steve released his grip around my jaw as I heaved a sigh of relief. His eye color turned pitch black and flickered back to its original color as I swiveled my gaze around the room before fixating my gaze on Steve who sauntered toward the wall that was designed with purple drapes. A smile that depicted scorn formed at the corner of his lips while I swallowed the heavy lump that formed beneath my throat.“Suddenly scared, huh?” Steve scoffed with a smirk creeping at the corner of his lips. He slipped his hands through his hair while swiveling his gaze around the room again while causing me to wonder what must have caused him to be so engrossed in the room like that.All of a sudden, I suddenly remembered that he mentioned something about me possibly knowing the history behind this room. As if he could read my thoughts, he glanced in my direction as he cocked his brow to the left. I wasn’t scared of him in any way but the way he stared at me caused me to
Xavier's P.O.VI barely took ten steps to Irene’s room when I caught a whiff of Steve’s scent. The earthly scent that swirled around him hit me right on the nose as I scrunched my face up, causing my nose to flare and when I followed where the scent emanated, it led me to Irene's door. I had barely knocked on the door when I heard Irene’s tears that were muffled and I heard how she made tiny sniffles as well.My fist squeezed into folds because when I was outside the door, Steve’s scent was more overwhelming and the only thing that was ringing in my head was that there was a possibility that the two of them were in a relationship, and even though, I shouldn't be annoyed with the fact that they were in a relationship since Irene wasn't my mate, there was this overwhelming feeling of jealousy that surged inside of me.Different thoughts raced through my mind while wondering what type of relationship that might be between them because even though every part of me was screaming that they
Irene's P.O.VHis words resounded in my ear as my eyebrows knitted together as I stood to my feet and kept my gaze fixed on him. I kept my gaze fixed on him as if the answers to his questions were boldly written on his face. He raised a brow when he saw the confused look on my face as I scratched my head while lowering my head.My mind strayed toward Steve, wondering how he could disappear from this room without leaving a single trace. I was damn sure that there was an escape route in this room and this room must be really important to Steve since he had to fabricate a fake story about Xavier's mom dying in this room. I didn't know what his story was but I was sure that this room must have been really special to him.Different thoughts raced through my mind as I tapped my index finger with my lips while trying to process Steve’s sudden disappearance and what his real aim could be.“ I need to find out about the history behind this room and I need to find out about that as soon as poss
