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
Xavier's P.O.VThe way she mentioned Kourtney mind triggered all my senses as I felt a wave of anger rush inside of me. My face contorted into a frown and it made me scoff because of how Irene was used to mentioning Kourtney all the damn time. My lips puckered slightly as I ran my hands through my hair frustratedly."Since you have an international passport, get ready to go to Scotland tomorrow! I don't know how long the trip would end but you shouldn't pack those garbage clothes of yours along! Don't delay and also, don't be the reason why I would miss my flight!" I said Sternly at her and watched as she blinked her eyes continuously as if she was trying to get a hold of herself."Like I have always told you, the meeting to me is very important and please don't ruin things for me because you wouldn't even find it funny in the least way about what I would do to you" I added and watched as she shuddered or maybe it was not my words that caused her to shudder because when we locked eyes
Xavier's P.O.VA faint smile that faltered formed in my face as I bobbed my head. A smile that depicted her nervousness almost formed on her face as well as she fiddled with her fingers while my heart moved with nothing but sheer pity for her.After the silence that pervaded between us, I stretched my hands towards her as she kept her gaze fixed on my palm. When she was unsure about what I was trying to do, she glanced back and forth between my hand and my face."W-What do you want? Alpha Xavier" She questioned and I watched as she swallowed the heavy lump that formed in her throat."I want your international passport! I suddenly developed the feeling to keep it with me" I said while laughing awkwardly. She swirled her gaze around the room, placing her hands on her jaw as if she was trying to recollect something.I watched as she pouted her lips and gasped as if she suddenly remembered something. When I saw the look on her face, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion because I really hoped
Irene's P.O.VI flicked my eyes open instantly as fore beads of sweat formed on my forehead. I had a nightmare that sent shivers to run down my spine and even though I couldn't remember it clearly, I knew that I surely had a nightmare that related to my mom's suicide and Lily's suicide as well. I reached my hands for the glass of water next to the lamp stand as I sat upright on the bed and gulped down all the water in the glass cup.I placed my hand on my forehead because of the sharp pain that I felt inside my head that continued to linger on. Switching on the lamp stand, I heaved out an exasperated sigh that depicted my worry and frustration as I ran my hands through my hair.The reason why I was having these terrible nightmares was thanks to that bastard named Steve who managed to instill fear in me. What exactly was he planning alongside Erior? Why did it feel like if things go wrong and backfire in the end, Steve would make me take the fall for it.I pulled my knees to my chest a
