Masuk****XAVIER'S POV***
Closing my book, my eyes drifted to the letter amidst my textbook, and with a slight frown, I looked away.
My heart was still broken, and the sadness would probably take a long time to fester, but I had to continue living. I had to stay alive to wait for the day when I would be able to deal with Crystal and make her pay for what she did to him.
I sighed deeply, trying to forget about the letter, but no matter how hard I tried, it just didn't work. Austin was gone, I would never hear his voice again, I would never see his smile again, and all that was left was the letter he wrote to me a few days before his death.
Had I known, I would have replied to him. I would have let him know how I truly felt...
Now, all I can feel is the guilt that refuses to go away.
I ruffled my hair, sucked in a deep breath, and decided to step out of my room. It was past 10 in the morning and almost time for breakfast___
Coming across a maid, I stopped her with a wave, "Is breakfast ready?" I was unusually hungry at the moment.
The maid looked at me and shook her head. "No, young master. Crystal is yet to cook." She explained, I could see the glint that flashed through her eyes as she replied.
I frowned in displeasure. "Why is that?"
The maid sighed and rubbed her arm dramatically. "You know how Madam favors her over everyone. I guess she's starting to think she's a house member already. She's yet to wake up." She explained.
My frown deepened, and annoyance washed through my veins. I stared at the stupid maid in front of me and suddenly felt the urge to hit someone. But I would never take Crystal's side... even when it was like this.
Without saying a word, I turned around and made my way to Crystal's room. Even if my mother was doing so much for her, she still needed to know that she was nothing but a cook in this house, and her only work was to cook.
I wondered what was going on in her head to make her think she could still be sleeping by this time without bothering about her masters. She was an unruly maid!
It was with this anger that I pushed open her door, and for a moment, I felt like I had lost my mind. I couldn't stop myself from staring at the perfect body in front of me. Heck, it wasn't my first time seeing a lady's nude, but it was my first time losing so much control over my hormones.
I stared unblinking, my blood boiling as I imagined my fingers pulling and pinching those nipples. I imagined my lips on her pink pussy, and my tongue finding its way into her hole.
Damn! I had never been so horny in my life.
I had never been so attracted to someone's body.
I had never lost so much control.
At that moment, I realised Crystal was a big nemesis to my self-control, and she baffled me.
How could she be the one? How could she be the first person who makes my body react this way? She made me feel a strange energy coursing through my body, and it was extremely comfortable when paired with the obscene thoughts in my head.
Not even her scream could stop my thoughts. It only made her look more delicious. It made me imagine how her moans would be if I were to press her under me...
But her words were silly. Pervert? Bastard? How dare you, Crystal!
"Let me show you what a pervert is," I whispered into her ear as my fingers ran across the outline of her nipple.
My dick was hard, my breathing was low but heavy, and my mind was a bit messed up. Gawd, I hated how I felt at the moment, but I couldn't stop.
I caught her ear with my lips, sucking and biting it while I tried to control myself. I could feel my dick struggling to get out of my trousers___
I ran my hands across her waist, not bothering to look at her face as I wasn't ready to face her expression. I pressed her closer to myself, my lips on her ear, and my fingers still playing with her nipples. I felt the urge to pull off the towel, revealing the full view, but I knew that would be very dangerous.
I moaned into her ears and slowly closed my eyes as I started planting kisses on her neck.
I felt her body tremble, and my body heated up. I groaned, stepping back a bit as I pinched my ears to regain my sanity.
This wasn't right. It could be anyone but Crystal.
No, not Crystal.
I turned around, my step a bit weird as I walked toward the door. "Prepare breakfast for me in ten," I ordered and left the room.
CRYSTAL"She's been too stressed lately. You have to make sure she rests properly. Also, I will prescribe some medication for her." I heard the doctor say to Xavier, who nodded calmly. He seemed really attentive. "Okay. I will take my leave." The doctor concluded and left. Xavier followed him out. Left alone in the room, I supported myself up the bed and sat down. It wasn't a dream. Xavier was worried about me earlier. He had panicked, and I heard him begging me to stay. My heart ached. Was he that traumatized?I'd always known that Madam Frost's death affected him, but I had no idea it also tampered with his mental health. I could remember the fear I saw in his eyes when our eyes met. Even when he was conversing with the doctor, he wouldn't stop rubbing his hands together. A habit he rarely showed except when lost. He must have been really scared when he saw me in the bathroom alone. He must have thought I was dead. My eyes drooped, and I sucked in a deep breath. What was
XAVIER'S POV I carried the sleeping Crystal toward the bathroom and gently placed her in the bathtub. She stirred when her skin touched the warm water, but it was only for a moment. She soon dozed off again. She was obviously exhausted. It was her first time, anyway...My heart fluttered. It was also mine. Crystal was my first. The first woman I would ever have thought about. Honestly, I had no idea what came upon me earlier, but seeing Crystal in the same elevator... an enclosed place, made my heart waver, and the thing underneath my boxer bulged. Erotic scenes filled my mind, and before I could suppress them, my legs moved first. I captured Crystal in a kiss I didn't plan. But that only escalated the imagination...When we got to the room, I realized I was no longer in control of my thoughts. I tried to stop and use toys as usual, but the mere thought of using a toy on her disgusted me to the core, and before I knew it, I found myself pouncing on her. I couldn't believe I
CRYSTAL'S POV I took the tray from her and placed it on the bed. "Thank you," I muttered nonchalantly. She said nothing and stood at the side. I could feel her gaze on me even as I opened the food she brought and poured the drink. What was she doing?I raised a brow in confusion. "Won't you leave?" We weren't close, so I had no reason to be polite to her. Tyra's face turned awkward, and she looked away. "Young Master asked me to wait on you. I'm to pack the plate when you're done." She explained. My fingers trembled, and my eyes widened. Was Xavier trying to kill me?My temple pulsed as I lowered my eyes to the food again. It was porridge... probably prepared to nourish my essence after what we did earlier. But why did he make Tyra stay with me?Was he planning to make me feel special, tell the maids that my status had changed in the house, or did he plan to poison me to death to finally avenge Madam Frost's death? I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath. If he wanted me de
CRYSTAL'S POV Xavier pinned my hands in bed and thrust into me. I gasped. Eyes watered. "Xav... Xavier." I called breathlessly. He pressed a kiss on my lips and grunted. "Painful?" His eyes flickered with concern. I shook my head. I could feel sweat forming on my forehead. "It's not. You can move." I replied breathlessly. Xavier was acting strangely. Not only was he not cold today, but he also pressed me down and did it without the use of sex toys. It was weird, however, way better than before. I wouldn't want to ever experience sex toys again. It was painful and humiliating. "Hm!" I moaned sharply. Xavier's hand trailed down and grabbed my breasts. His movement steadied and slowly increased. "No more pain, right?" He asked. I nodded. "Why?" I asked. Why? What changed? Why was he acting so nice?Xavier froze. His eyes glinted, and he looked away. "We are getting married tomorrow. Isn't this only right?" He strained. That wasn't right. Xavier wouldn't touch me just becau
CRYSTAL'S POV My thoughts swirled.A moment earlier, I had made up my mind to ignore Xavier and stay away from him. I'd even asked Lyn if she could take me back which she readily agreed to. However, the next moment, I was in Xavier's car, preparing to return to his home with him and with the intention of becoming his wife the next day. It was sudden. But I knew even if time returned, I'd still make the same decision over again. Not for love, but for sacrifice and for gratitude. Madam Frost had done so much for me when she was alive. Xavier was alone now, and though he hated me, I somehow could understand him, too. My heart wouldn't stop aching for him if I had to leave him alone. He would be too lonely. He was only 20 after all and he had no one else in this world except me. So, even though I knew I was meant to regret this choice for the rest of my life, I knew it was the price I had to pay for the good things I had taken from Madam Frost when she was alive. I hope wherever sh
XAVIER'S POV I calmly watched as Crystal's expression changed endlessly. She seemed to be in shock, but honestly, even I wasn't any different. I kept my face still. Inside, my mind was a riot. The proposal wasn't intended...I had only been confused for a moment, trying to think of a way to take Crystal back home. She was my property. She became mine the moment I saw the diary, and only I had the right to decide her fate. But Lyn was an obstacle. Considering the report I got about their relationship on the way to this place, I realized Lyn was a sister figure to Crystal, and with her around, things might not be as easy as it was supposed to be. My mother wanted me to take care of Crystal, which I would definitely do... but in my own way. I wouldn't let Lyn get in the way. I wouldn't let Lyn take Crystal away from me. However, marrying her was out of it. Tying my entire life to someone like Crystal wasn't part of my plan, but it was already too late. The word was out, and ther
