“As I said, a lot of people, I wouldn't even want to mention, see you as some kind of candy bar. To be done to what they please. I paid multiple of them millions to forget and disavow Alexi or the Volkov lineage. To have anything to do with you.”

    XAVIER “As I said, a lot of people, I wouldn't even want to mention, see you as some kind of candy bar. To be done to what they please. I paid multiple of them millions to forget and disavow Alexi or the Volkov lineage. To have anything to do with you.” I watched Laura process this. “I was trying to protect you without you having to worry. After everything that has happened, that's... that is honestly the least I could do. But I fucked up by not telling you.” I added, hoping she would finally accept my truth. Laura was quiet for a long moment before she said to me, “Take me home, not to Nipas, to our home. We need to really talk, and I am tired of running away every time things get hard.” My heart did something complicated in my chest because Laura just called me home. The paint had hung and called it ours. Something I never expected to hear.LAURA The penthouse was too quiet. The floor-to-ceiling windows showed the east Chicago skyline, and it felt distant and cold. A star contr

    XAVIER The bell above the door hadn't even finished its cheerful chime before the atmosphere in the coffee shop died. It wasn't just my size or the way my clothes and security team fanned out behind me like a shadow cabinet. It was the heat coming off me. I moved to the... hipster morning customers as they parted like the Red Sea. I didn't see the menu boards or the line of people waiting for lattes. I only saw the back of Vanessa's head and the pale, frozen mask of Laura's face across from her. Every step I took felt like a hammer striking against the floor. The viper wasn't at the gate anymore. She was sitting at the table, pouring poison into my wife's ear. And the restraint I had practiced for years snapped like a dry twig. I couldn't believe it. It all came to me like a sickening clarity. Everything had fought, found every way, scanned through every corner just to find out who exactly was trying to come in between me and my wife, and she was right there, taking each and every s

    LAURA Within a few minutes, I already arrived at Juniper's house, ready to settle down. “Stay away from Xavier for good. Until he realizes his mistake. Until I know who exactly he is. Until I'm able to clear my head from all these secrets he keeps from me.” Because I don't think staying under the same roof with him is going to work. And even his brother said the same thing.I sat down eagerly in her room as she made her way towards me with her wine and cookies. “Sorry, I don't really cook, but I promise you, I am quite an entertainer. You can tell me everything you want. It stays between the both of us,” she said.I couldn't believe ever in my entire life that I would actually be staying with Juniper. And to even put it in the right place, Juniper was rich. She was so rich. I never knew. I always thought, yes, their family was well-off. But this? I don't think I can call this an ordinary way off. Because her apartment alone was awesome. And the fact that she owns multiple companies

    XAVIER What was Xavier really negotiating with her? And why is he lying to you about it? She immediately turned to me, the phone shaking in her hands. “Is this real?” she asked, her voice barely a whisper. “Were you with her that night? Were you meeting with Alexis's family behind my back?”I opened my mouth to explain, but Laura held up her hand. “Don't. Don't tell me it's complicated or it is for my protection. Just tell me the truth. Did you meet with Elaine?”I woke up the night you said you were at a warehouse. I went silent, my silence an answer enough as I could feel Laura’s distance towards me, like something was breaking in her chest. “Get out,” she said quietly. “Get out of my room right now.”---LAURA I watched as Xavier made his way out of the room. And I just sat there, not knowing what to say, how to think. My hands still shook. The video replayed on and on, and I was not able to do anything but feel disappointed, heartbroken. I can't still believe this. I can't b

    XAVIER The silence that followed her words was louder than any argument we had ever had. “I almost believed this email over you.” Her words felt like a physical strike, a cold blade sliding between my ribs. I watched her hand, the one I was holding too tightly, tremble as she tried to pull away. I knew I shouldn't let go. I knew that forcing her to stay was only feeding the monster of doubt she was currently battling with. But the thought of her walking out that door, living a lie, was more than I could stomach. She wasn't just angry; she was mourning the trust she thought we could finally solidify, and I had no possible way of making her understand.My gaze went back to the photos she held tightly. “The meeting in those photos isn't what they look like, or rather they are, but the context is important.” I have been quietly working on consolidating power, on utilizing threats to Laura before they can fully materialize. But explaining that means revealing just how many people stil

    LAURA I wanted to stay in that second forever. The second way Xavier admitted he loved me and the world finally felt sturdy, I wanted to memorize the way his eyes looked, wet and honest. But the nightstand erupted with a redeem him, and I watched the honesty in his gaze flicker into something sharper, something guarded. “Ignore it,” I whispered, desperate to crawl back into the safety of his hands. But Xavier was already moving. The vulnerability was being tucked away, replaced by the man who was always looking for the next straight.“It’s late, Laura. Someone is trying very hard to get a hold of you.” Then he handed me the phone. The screen was a white glare in the dim room. One email, no sender's name, just a subject line that felt like a slap to the face: “You deserve to know the truth about your husband.” My fingers hovered over the delete button. “Posivia saw my hesitation. Open it,” he said quietly. “No more secrets.”I slowly opened the email and my breath hitched. At th

    XAVIER Thirty-six hours. I’d been awake for thirty-six hours straight and I could feel it in every atom of my being. My eyes burned like someone had poured acid under my lids, my head pounded with a relentless throb that matched my pulse, and my hands had developed a slight tremor I was trying t

    XAVIER Marcus nodded and went back to his calls while I headed upstairs to Laura’s room. The door was unlocked and I stepped inside, immediately hit by the faint scent of lavender and the undertones of fresh detergent. The room was neat and organized in a way that suggested someone who was used

    XAVIER I could feel it starting again—that tightness in my chest, the way my breathing wanted to turn rapid and strained, the creeping sense of panic clutching at my lungs, threatening to pull me under. No. Not again. Not when Laura was just kidnapped and needed me more than ever. I managed

    XAVIER “Boss, boss, boss!” I could hear Marcus’s voice through my haze of sleep and I was already annoyed. I forced my eyes open, the bright lights of the infirmary stabbing into my skull. My head was still pounding, my body felt like it had been run over by a truck, and the last thing I needed w
