Chapter 86: My Heart Froze

Diana’s POV

    Chapter 89: I’m Not Letting Her Go Xander’s POVThe hotel room door clicked shut behind us, but the silence stayed. I walked in first, dragging my suitcase behind me. The air inside was cool, and the curtains were drawn, shutting out the city lights. Akin entered after me, speaking briefly with the private investigator before dismissing him.I dropped onto the couch, my body aching from the emotional weight of everything that had just happened.Diana forgave me.Even now, those three words rang in my head like a song I never expected to hear again. She had held me, not tightly, not long…but long enough to melt the ice I had lived in for years. And now, I didn’t know what to do with that.Akin stood near the window, arms folded. She wasn’t smiling, but the tightness in her face was gone. She looked at me for a long second before speaking.“My Boss,” she said, her voice steady. “The private investigator has confirmed that everything is settled now. Diana’s charges will be dropped by mo

I meant every single word.Everyone in the bakery turned to look at me.…the police officers, the customers, the workers behind the counter. But my eyes were only on her.Diana.She stood frozen, right behind the register, her apron dusted with flour and sugar. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun.

The one I had searched for, longed for, and dreamed of.The lead officer took a step forward and narrowed his eyes at me. “And who exactly are you?”I stepped closer, calm but firm. “My name is Xander,” I said. “Xander Knight.”One of the officers blinked, and the other two exchanged looks.
