Married to the arrogant senior Chapter 54
The knife trembled in my hand, slick against my palm, but I refused to let go.Every clash of fists, every grunt of pain, every crash of breaking wood rattled through my bones like thunder. My father and Xavier were locked in a storm that had no mercy, no space for me, no room for hesitation.And yet I stood in the middle of it—weapon raised, breath jagged, my pulse a frantic drumbeat in my ears.Xavier slammed my father against the wall, wood splintering. My father twisted free with terrifying precision, his elbow smashing into Xavier’s ribs. The sound that tore from Xavier’s throat hollowed me out—raw, guttural pain.“No!” The word ripped from me before I could stop it.Both men froze, just for a heartbeat.Xavier’s gaze flicked to me—wild, protective, desperate. My father’s eyes, cold and calculating, slid down to the knife in my grip. He smirked.“You see?” he said, his voice a low, poisonous murmur. “She doesn’t want this. She doesn’t want blood.”He took a step toward me. Xavier

The sound of my father’s voice rooted me to the spot.My lungs burned from the breath I was holding, every muscle in my body taut, ready to snap. It wasn’t the kind of fear that sent you running—it was the kind that froze you in place, that crawled down your spine and whispered that no matter how fast you moved, no matter where you went, he would find you.“Arielle,” he said again, his voice softer now, coaxing. Almost gentle. That was worse than if he’d shouted. My father’s anger I knew how to brace for. His tenderness? That was the trap. The lie.The boots shifted, pacing across the landing, slow and deliberate, like a predator circling prey. The sound echoed into the room, sinking its claws into me.“You’ve made things… difficult,” he continued. His tone was patient, almost weary. “But I can forgive that. You’re young. Confused. You let that boy fill your head with nonsense. That’s not your fault.”Boy. The word was soaked in contempt. He meant Xavier.I pressed my back harder into

The cabin was too quiet.Not the peaceful kind of quiet—the kind that hummed with tension, vibrating just beneath the skin. Every shadow stretched too long, every creak of the floorboards felt too loud. Even the fire in the hearth seemed to burn with suspicion, its flicker casting more menace than warmth.I stood at the window, my fingertips brushing over the cold iron shutters. My reflection wavered against the faint glow of firelight, pale and restless, eyes hollowed by sleepless nights. Behind me, Xavier moved with an energy that seemed endless—sharpening knives, rechecking ammunition, pacing like a caged animal waiting for the fight to begin.This wasn’t just survival. This was preparation for war.And I was in the middle of it.I turned to face him, watching as he holstered a handgun with clinical precision. His movements were practiced, efficient, too smooth to belong to someone who’d only picked up weapons in moments of desperation. This was his world. A world he’d been born in

The fire crackled faintly in the hearth, but its warmth never reached me. The cabin walls pressed in too tightly, shadows lingering in every corner like watchful eyes. I curled beneath the rough blanket Xavier had pulled over me, my hand resting protectively against my stomach.I wanted to believe in the illusion of safety. The bolted shutters, the locked doors, Xavier’s steady presence… but my mind wouldn’t let me. I could still hear that laugh—the distorted, guttural sound that had followed the shattering of glass in my bedroom. I could still feel the weight of that masked gaze marking me, claiming me.No amount of distance could erase it.Xavier paced the cabin floor with restless strides, his boots heavy against the wood. His movements were sharp, every line of his body taut with energy he couldn’t release. He wasn’t at peace here. He wasn’t at peace anywhere, not with that man still breathing.His voice from earlier whispered through me again, the words I’d overheard when he thou

The street was too quiet.As soon as Xavier closed my car door, sealing me inside the faint smell of leather and gasoline, a cold stillness spread across the night. My pulse raced, my hands trembling as I pressed them into my lap. Through the windshield, I watched Xavier circle around the hood of the car like a predator scanning for threats. His every movement was sharp, honed—his eyes flicking between shadows, streetlights, and rooftops, searching.When he slid into the driver’s seat, the car seemed to exhale with me, the familiar weight of him both comforting and terrifying.“Seatbelt,” he said, his voice clipped.I fumbled for it, my fingers clumsy. The belt clicked into place, but it did nothing to ease the storm inside me.Xavier’s jaw was locked tight, his knuckles pale as he gripped the steering wheel. He didn’t start the car right away. Instead, he sat in silence, watching the rearview mirror. Watching the street. Watching everything.I opened my mouth to speak, but he lifted

The silence after the fight was heavier than the crash of the window, thicker than the sound of shattering glass. It clung to the walls of my bedroom, clung to my skin, clung to the very air until it was hard to breathe.Xavier’s arms were still wrapped around me, anchoring me to the ground, but my whole body trembled like I’d been dropped into freezing water. My ears rang with the ghost of that laugh, that distorted sound the intruder had left behind.He wasn’t just here to scare us. He was here to claim something.Me.The baby.Us.Xavier’s chest heaved against my cheek as he held me close. I could feel his heart pounding steady but hard, a drumbeat of rage barely contained. His voice when it finally broke the silence was raw.“He won’t get near you again,” he muttered, low and vicious. “Not while I’m alive.”My father’s bat clattered to the ground. The sound jolted me. When I looked up, he stood there pale and shaking, his fists opening and closing like he didn’t know what to do wi
