Chapter Twenty Four

Xavier's POV

I am concerned about Leah and the feelings that have started developing and what is even worse is I have softened toward her. When we tied the note, the plan was so simple; I help her get out of debt and she helps me stabilize my position. Things have gotten more complicated and now we are at war.

This is not good.

I had a smooth plan and having feelings was not one of them. I choose to be mean to her and I know I am a jerk for it but it's for the best. Am a whole mess with a past that hunts me every day yet to be resolved. Not to mention people who thirst for my power and money. Hence, I decide that I won't drag her and put her in danger for any reason.

I chose to go to Kendra's hospital because she can remain confidential. If we go to another hospital we will probably see it in the media and am already at war with the board. I cannot afford any mistakes. Leah was angry with that fact but I didn't bother explaining why I chose this hospital. I hate having to reason wit
