登入"Mr.Knight, you think I am lying?" Susan spoke softly. Xavier tugged at his hand hard enough for Susan to lurch forward on her bed. But he didn't make any moves to hold her from falling. Somehow, she managed not to fall. "If you ever touch me again, I will chop your hand off. I don't have a very good reputation. I am not a good man. Except for Iris, no one can touch me as they please. You are not my responsibility. I never agreed to become your guardian. You are an adult, and you can take care of yourself. I wonder how you keep falling quiet so often, and somehow Iris or her friends would be there, looking like culprits," he pointed out. Susan gasped with shock. Her tears started falling. "Mr. Knight, you think I am intentionally sabotaging their reputation?" she whispered, as he wronged her. His face remained cold and unyielding. Unlike Iris, no one could make him feel soft-hearted. No matter how pitiful she might look. "Are you not? If my Iris wanted you dead, I would help h
Iris couldn't take his eyes off Xavier, who was carrying away an injured and unconscious Susan. Her eyes stung with unshed tears. She didn't know why his silence was hurting more than anything. He didn't ask her what happened. He just looked at her blankly before he carried Susan away. 'Susan needs immediate medical attention. He was doing what should be done,' she told herself. The stares of the maids didn't bother her as much as Xavier's silence did. Tasha and Sara rushed out of their area the moment they heard the commotion. They saw Xavier's figure disappearing through the door, and the metallic stench of blood was thick in the air. "What the hell happened here?" Tasha gasped when she noticed the blood-smeared stairs and the pool of blood near the landing of the staircase. "Susan fell down the stairs," Iris explained. Sara glanced at the disapproving looks of the maids and huffed. "Let me guess, they are all thinking that you pushed her, right?" Sara muttered. The tea
In Chelsington, the 12th floor of the city hospital houses the VIP ward. That's where Desmond's eldest son is recovering. Edward Knight is in room 1207, the last room in the corridor. The corridor is empty except for two nurses, who were seen going in and out of each room as if checking on their patients to see if they needed anything. 4 men in suits exited the elevator. They looked well-groomed and completely in their element. No one could tell that they were there to kill Edward Knight. They were hiding chloroform spray under their suit jackets and guns in the socks near their ankles. They were not planning to use the guns. Attack the security or anyone who tries to stop them with Chloroform and enter room 1207 before snapping Edward's neck. No blood and no screams. Desmond wanted the death to be as painless as possible and clean. The corridor was unusually empty when the men arrived, which made them feel more guarded. They entered room 1207 without any trouble. But when the light
In the Naga village, at around noon, the villagers started to relax. They managed to wash the gasoline off their huts and rebuild the ruined huts once again. Thankfully, no one was hurt. The village woman pampered Susan, taking pity on her. Someone even tried to trouble Sara by ignoring her when serving food and stuff like that. Susan's plate is filled with food, while Sara's plate is relatively empty. In the village, everyone sits together while a few women serve. They are almost intentionally not giving anything to Sara. Iris offered her food to Sara, which both of them shared. Xavier and Adam were busy. They were speaking with Hansen and Shannon. So they didn't see what happened. "When are we leaving?" Sara muttered. "Xavier said that we can leave after lunch. Luis hired some new staff to replace the old ones," Iris explained. They were looking forward to this visit, but now it turned awkward. So even she wanted to leave. After lunch was done, Xavier and Adam came to find Iris
In Louisville, Adil took a much-needed shower and got dressed in some fresh clothes. The clothes he was wearing were not from any top brands. But from a local store, which were brought in urgently so that he could change into them after his shower. Still, he never appreciated clothes as much as he did at that moment. "Adil, what happened? How did you end up here? This is Xavier Knight's lair," Naomi reminded him. "Naomi, someone else is involved in this game. We are pawns on his chessboard. We move when he wants us to move. We act just as he wants us to. My getting kidnapped was his plan. He had no use for me, so he moved me off his chessboard," Adil said. Naomi stared at him with shock. He was sounding more mature and assertive than she had ever seen him before. Money didn't help him mature, but circumstances certainly did. "You started to really act like my elder brother now. If only you were half as mature a week ago, we could have avoided so many disasters," she muttered.
In the Naga Village, Xavier and the others are dealing with the aftermath of Mathias's fire. They helped rebuild the ruined huts and cleaned off all the gasoline poured on the huts. Kids looked a little scared as the woman started cooking a little farther away from the huts, so they wouldn't accidentally start a fire again from all the gasoline. Electricity was temporarily shut down for safety. Iris, Sara, Tasha, and Susan were helping the woman. Susan was still wearing Xavier's T-shirt, while he changed into another one. Iris glanced at Susan, especially the T-shirt she was wearing for the nth time. "Girl, I will ask her to remove the T-shirt if you are feeling territorial over your man," Sara teased. Iris smiled softly. She was feeling jealous and territorial. She didn't know if she was being unreasonable or Petty. Whatever the reason, she was not liking it. But she said nothing. "Susan is wearing a white night suit. Maybe Xavier must have thought that it was not appropriate
Iris Jones, the younger daughter of the Jones family is standing on the Altar, taking her vows with Xavier Knight. "Natasha Jones, do you take Xavier Knight as your lawfully wedded husband" the priest's words felt like a nail on Iris's head. She was not supposed to stand there pretending to be her
"Natasha, don't you think this dress is showing too much cleavage?" Iris asked while tugging at her dress. Like Xavier instructed, now Iris has a completely new wardrobe. All her old clothes were removed and new ones were replaced. When she looked at her wardrobe which didn't feel like her own,
Xavier's POV Xavier Knight was looking at the blood stained white bed sheets with a blank expression. He showered and ready for the day in his signature suit which highlighted his broad shoulders and narrow waist. Despite wearing a suit, nothing could hide the bulge in his biceps when ever he move
