Chapter 38 Sansa's POVXavier's patience was becoming thin as he prodded the author for more information. "You haven't said anything noteworthy about yourself. It seems like a waste of time.""Did I already bore you? Or have I inadvertently offended you?" the author inquired, seemingly unconcerned with Xavier's annoyance. Xavier tried not to lose his calm, not wanting to appear disrespectful. "I'm trying to find some peace in this conversation, but your jumbled words are erecting a barrier."The author said pleasantly, his voice tinged with humor. "Well, I find our conversation rather intriguing, and you have a fascinating personality." Xavier stated, poised to exert his dominance. "Take him to prison and let him think about his comments alone."The author made a request that caught Xavier off guard, despite his firm grip on the book. "I'll borrow your book for the night if you don't mind."Sighing heavily, Xavier let the author take his book, feeling both frustrated and resigned.
Chapter 39 Sansa's POV Ray's face was contorted with perplexity, his mind racing to make sense of the situation. He hurled the knife toward Xavier in a desperate attempt to flee, but the blade unexpectedly soared toward me, leaving me wide-eyed and breathless. Xavier lunged fast to intercept the knife, only one inch away from my vulnerable eyes.I was breathing heavily and sweat was all over my face as if Xavier had shielded me from the blade, even though I knew the blade would pass over me without injuring me, and I was still astonished.His voice resonated with a disconcerting depth as Xavier spoke, his words resonating through the air. "If you don't want to meet the same fate, cut the rope and bid farewell to your father."Ray was held in place by his love for his father and his fear of Xavier's wrath. He paused, unable to do the unthinkable.Oberon's furious voice rang out, his remarks revealing his misguided ambitions. "What a wuss! My awful son, who bears my name, is now lookin
Chapter 40I knew he'd never reveal the answer, leaving my curiosity unsatisfied. Standing in front of the man I loathed the most, I felt helpless and upset. I couldn't bring myself to question the monster in front of me about how many nights he had abused my body.Xavier observed. "You look pale, What nightmare have you seen?""I don't need to close my eyes to see nightmares when I am living one right now," I said cruelly.Xavier burst out laughing, his laughter echoing like the devil's. He then grabbed my hair and yanked my head upward. "You still haven't seen anything. The true nightmare has yet to begin."In pain, I managed to say, "You are hurting me.""That's what you've done to me," Xavier responded, his heart cold. He softly placed his palm on my cheek after abruptly releasing my hair. His voice softened as he said, "You are as beautiful as the moon."His demonic eyes morphed into innocent eyes in a second, and his vicious behavior shifted to that of a devoted husband. He tran
Chapter 41 Xavier cautioned me of the implications of failing to perform my tasks in a cold and forceful tone. "Not doing your job correctly will result in another punishment. Do you understand?" he asked, emphasizing that he would not accept any neglect.Fariya, ever the peacemaker, approached Xavier and tried to persuade him. "Speak with Levine; he's not in a good mood." Recognizing the delicate situation, she implored.But Xavier's resolve was unwavering. "Keep bringing the food until he eats, it is my Sansa's job to feed him at all times," he said, turning to face her. I felt a wave of emotions surging through me as I was faced with an impossible assignment. It was difficult enough to handle Levine, but now Xavier had added to the burden.He walked away, leaving me to face the enormous task alone. I knew the odds were stacked against me when I collected the bravery to approach Levine. The tension in the room was tangible, and I felt the weight of Xavier's expectations on my shoul
Chapter 42 I had not consumed anything for two painful days, not even a drop of water. My resolve to force Levine to eat faltered, but each attempt failedDealing with Xavier was always difficult, but dealing with Levine was as impossible. The two brothers seemed to be plotting to make my life a living hell, and I wondered how much longer I could put up with this cruel facade of existence.I had to put on a brave face, saying I was fine even though some of the pack members were concerned about my health. No one, however, dared to speak out against Alpha Xavier's decision.I struggled to find the appropriate things to say as I sat on the chair next to Levine's bed. My energy was exhausted, but I had no choice but to try to speak with him when I was starving.I said weakly. "You're stubborn, refusing to listen to anyone, I don't mind if you despise my presence here. Just give me another five minutes and I'll leave your room. I'm not going to force you to eat today."Levine remained sile
Chapter 43 heart sank when Xavier suggested introducing me to the visitors. I knew I had to put on the act of a dutiful wife for the sake of the pack. Xavier took my hand in his and led me to the other guests, the weight of my emotions concealed under a rehearsed grin.Xavier mixed with the gathering with ease, introducing me to both pack members and guests. I played my role, making polite talk and pretending to be happy, but on the inside, a sensation of unease gnawed at me. Every moment in his presence reminded me of the world I dearly wanted to escape.Xavier was dressed in a coal-black suit, and he greeted and presented me to the visitors as the polite host. An emptiness gnawed at my heart, and I couldn't help but question whether the saying, "Money can't buy happiness," was just a bitter truth. I had believed in the illusion of wealth bringing happiness as a child, but now, in the splendor of this mansion, I knew otherwise. It was all a sham—an illusion that hid the crushing r
Chapter 44The music grew louder around us, but I felt a rising discomfort inside. The night that had looked to promise romance and joy had now become gloomy. I was divided between the security of my known existence and the strange Levine who had aroused something latent inside me.My worry grew as the night progressed. The sense of being divided between two universes grew unbearable, and I yearned to comprehend Levine's conundrum. But he stayed elusive with each passing moment, like a fading dream that slid through my fingers.As the dance progressed, I couldn't help but worry if the night held any more surprises. My beautiful life's façade was flailing, and the twisted web of emotions threatened to unravel me completely.Xavier's lovely voice jolted me out of my reverie, and I faked a grin at him. "Where is your focus?" he asked, his gaze amusingly seeking mine.I tried to make an excuse in a shaky voice. "I'm not familiar with the dance steps," I explained, hoping he wouldn't notic
Chapter 45 Levine's eyes locked on mine, and I could feel the intensity of his need, which was only equaled by my own. His pickup lines were like velvet, melting my heart with each syllable. In a deep, seductive voice, he said, "You have a way of making this dance feel like an eternity."My cheeks reddened as I attempted to restore control, pretending to be unaffected by his words. "Oh, I do now? Is that a positive thing?" While my heart thumped hard in my chest, I replied in a nonchalant tone.Levine gently giggled, his breath touching my ear. "It's the best thing that's happened to me tonight," he whispered, sending chills up my spine.I couldn't deny our electric chemistry, but I knew I had to be cautious. Levine was still a stranger to me, and I couldn't allow myself to be completely carried away. As a result, as he began asking more intimate questions, I found myself lying to keep some distance.Levine arched an eyebrow, apparently
