****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 "What do I want?" Hannah asked. Her face showed anger and viciousness as she glared at me. "You slutty bitch. You took my man from me!" She yelled. A frown settled on my face. I stepped closer to her and slapped her hard across the face. "You..." I slapped her again. "Crystal!"I slapped her for the third time. All eyes were on us at this point, but it didn't matter. I stepped even closer to her, and a smirk formed on my face. "One, I'm not a slutty bitch. Two, I'm Xavier's legal wife." I corrected and poked my forehead rudely. Hannah screamed. She had her hands covering her cheeks as anger and embarrassment clouded her gaze. "What's going on here?" Xavier's voice sounded behind me, and he took my hand, pulling me to stand beside him. He lowered his head and glanced at my two hands. Distress showed on his handsome face as his lips pursed. "Why would you use your hand to slap her?" He asked. He brought out a wipe and started wiping my hand. "You should have used a

  • FESTERING HEART   CHAPTER 47: END GAME

    CRYSTAL I slept weakly in bed. My body burned, and breathing was difficult. My lips parted, exhaling and inhaling as my nose seemed blocked. Xavier wiped my face, his expression gentle and concerned as he stared at me. "You still don't want a doctor? Your temperature is getting higher." He said in a low voice. I shook my head lightly, but the throbbing headache that came with the movement made me wince in pain. Closing my eyes, I bit my lower lip and sighed deeply. "I'm fine." My voice was broken and hoarse. "It's fever. I will be fine after sleeping." I assured him. I didn't want to worry him, but I also did not want to visit the hospital. For some reason, I could feel that this sickness was something that had to do with my mental health rather than mere physical sickness. After going through so much, I guess my brain needed time to adjust to my new life, and even though it had been a week since the whole thing happened, life hadn't been any easier. No, instead, I hadn't ma

  • FESTERING HEART   CHAPTER 46: CLOSURE

    CRYSTAL I listened to Lyn's words and shook my head in disbelief. Was Madam Frost my mother?Why didn't the word sound too foreign to me?I closed my eyes to suppress the overwhelming pain in my heart. So, Lyn knew she was my mother, and that was the reason she killed her?Then, why did she kill Austin? Austin wasn't even related to me..."What about Austin?" It was as if Xavier was reading my mind as he asked the question in my mind. I could see his lips trembling as he asked the question. Lyn paused for a moment, and anger flashed across her face. "I thought he was your mother's stepson. I got the wrong information..." She said as if she regretted missing her target. My heart skipped a beat. So, the one she wanted to kill back then was... my eyes flashed at Xavier, and fear gripped my heart. Wait... Xavier wasn't Mrs... my mother's son? For some reason, my heart felt slightly relieved at the thought...But we were still in danger. Xavier looked into my eyes. His eyes were

  • FESTERING HEART   CHAPTER 45: REVEAL

    XAVIER "Who are you?" I asked deeply. "I'm Doe, Crystal's friend. I predict she's in Lyn's house, and that bitch will kill her." The stranger explained. Doe? Wasn't that the girl I investigated when Crystal was in prison?"Lyn?" I asked. I was even more confused. Why would Lyn kill Crystal?Could this be a trap?"Shut the crap, bastard. If anything happened to Crystal, I wouldn't mind grinding your damn skin!" She threatened. My brows creased. "Damn it. I shouldn't have traveled here to meet my old man." She mumbled. It was more like she was speaking to herself. My heart skipped a beat. Could Crystal really be in trouble? I ended the call and dialed Crystal's line, but to my shock, it was unreachable. My head rang loudly, and I immediately rushed out of the house. I drove down to Lyn's house, and after a few minutes of knocking, the door opened, and I entered. But I instantly felt the danger that loomed closely, and I was on alert. Right then, a sharp breeze hit my ears,

  • FESTERING HEART   CHAPTER 44: TRUTH

    CRYSTAL My eyes glazed over, and I shook my head repeatedly when I saw the last picture. I couldn't believe it. I really didn't want to believe it. Lyn putting something into a dish in the Frost mansion...I immediately ended the document and dialed Doe's line. She answered at the first ring. "Babe, did you see everything? I should have made you come over, but I'm scared you will run off." Doe mumbled over the phone. My lips pressed into a thin line. "The information... are they real?" I couldn't help but question. They shouldn't be real... right?Lyn wouldn't betray me so much. She really wouldn't. Doe laughed over the phone. Her laughter was cold... It was totally devoid of any emotion. "This information was in the archive in one of my local bases. That Lyn girl gives her work to Coker. The few videos he made for her are in my hands right now. Do you want to see them?" She asked. My heart plummeted. Videos... Videos again. Could the Xavier the man talk about really be

  • FESTERING HEART   CHAPTER 43: DISBELIEF

    CRYSTAL "Really? You want to see me?" Doe sounded both surprised and excited on the phone. My lips twitched. Had I lost my mind?Why would I want to see her? Why would I even want a psychopath like her around me?But I needed to leave Lyn without rousing her suspicion, and the only way to do that was by giving a plausible excuse. "Let's see at the intersection around that prison?" I asked. "Intersection? Is there any intersection around the prison? Why can't I remember any?"I glanced at Lyn, who had sat down and was pressing her phone with a cautious expression on her face. "Lyn, let's see later in the evening, okay? I need to meet a friend right away." I lied. I didn't mean to. But without finding out what Lyn was up to, I wouldn't feel good staying around her. Lyn nodded. Her expression was as if she didn't want to keep me around... though she tried her best to mask it. I nodded and walked out of her house. After stopping a cab, I covered the speaker of the phone and gave
