Chapter 52: Set up

Xavier POV

I took my last sip of the now empty bottle in my hands, dropping it off to the nearest usher available, I made my way to the venue.

The party lights dimmed behind me as I slipped through the tall wooden doors that led to one of the quiet private parts of the party ground, overlooking a small lake.

The air was colder here, and quiet, too quiet like those seen in movies.

I should’ve turned back. Noo my first action would have been to tear the damn letter into pieces, not giving a damn about the content.

I should’ve gone straight back to Caroline, I swear I was trying to fight back her trust, and I was almost at the verge of success.

But the letter…

It came at the wrong time. My hands instinctively went towards my pockets where it was still burning in my pocket like it had teeth.

    Chapter 55: Past demons Xavier POV The room was too quiet and depressing, just like how I was feeling right now. I closed the door behind me, allowing the silence to wrap around me like a dark blanket. The room was just like I had remembered. The bed was empty and clean. Her side still remained untouched. And Cold. Caroline is gone now. Something continues to tell me that I have lost her forever. I sank onto the edge of the bed, elbows on my knees, head in my hands. My fingers clenched into my scalp like I would tear my skin. The weight of it all, pressed down on me I had lost her. Not just tonight. But slowly. With every lie, every excuse, every time I let my demons win. I closed my eyes. But instead of darkness, I saw her, my demon from years ago. Even longer, I could remember. Not the caroline who walked away tonight, but the little girl from so long ago that my heart couldn't just let go of. It all started in a business party that was organized by the wells togeth

The wine-stained dress clung to my knees as I pushed through the garden path with all my strength. my heart pounding louder than the music from inside. The once beautiful stars above blurred like melting silver in the sky.I couldn’t breathe.I didn’t want to, in fear that if I breathed too loud, I might choke on my tears that were gushing out like waterfalls.Xavier was in the garden, all alone with the joeline, making out…, After all the apologies and guilt.“Caroline!” I heard Daphne call behind me. Her voice was worried, rushed, apparently she was running behind me. But I didn’t stop.Not until my legs finally gave out near the marble fountain in the center of the party hall, far from the garden, and a distance away from all the noise. I collapsed on the edge of it, choking on the sob that tore its

    chapter 53: shattered heartsCaroline POVI stood at a lonely corner of the room, swirling the glass of wine in my hand, my eyebrows furrowed in thoughts.I hated that I was still thinking about him.Xavier!Even after had literally abandoned me in the middle of the dancing floor, and dissappeared onto God knows where, a part of me wants to scream, to call him selfish, and to curse myself for even caring at all.But the other part… that treacherous part of me would not stop thinking about him.To say i was worried was an understatement. The shadowy look in his eyes, the way he looked so torned, so broken, like a man that was being eaten from the inside.“Don’t go looking for him,” I muttered under my breath for the hundred times since he left, lifting the glass to my lips. “Let him be.”But even though I would say that I don't care, I was still standing where he had left me, for hours now…waiting, I sighed, turned, and made my way toward our table. I needed to clear my head. I real

    Chapter 51: Secret messageCaroline PovA depressing Silence hung between us like a veil above our heads, that not even the bubbling atmosphere could affect it. I didn’t want this. I didn’t want to be anywhere close to him, But I didn’t pull away either.Xavier placed a hand at the small of.my back. The other captured my trembling fingers. His hands covered mine perfectly, I almost pulled back my hands away from his grip. I felt his breath close, too close, and I hated the way my body still responded to him even when my heart was a battlefield.“You look beautiful,” he said, his breath fanning my neck region. He was close, too close and I hated the way my body leaned to him, even when the last thing I wanted was to associate with him again.I didn’t reply.He tried again, quieter this time. “Caroline… look at me.”“I don’t want to.” I stared at a random point over his shoulder, forcing my breathing to remain calm.“I need you to look at me. please…” he trailed off.I lifted up my
