Xavier's POV

I left the hospital with Scarlett, but my mind was clouded by Seraphina’s words. I didn't want to believe her, but she hadn't sounded like she was bluffing, and I couldn't help but be curious about what was in the video.

Could it be something that implicated Scarlett? If so, then it was a video that shouldn't be in those women's possession.

“Mama,” I called, snapping her out of her thoughts, and she heaved a heavy sigh.

She had been lost in thought ever since she left her father's

    Xavier's POVMy eyes reddened with anger as I looked at the shameless man sitting in front of me. How could he keep a straight face while asking me such a question?After everything he had done to Scarlett?He should have been grateful that I was only asking for a divorce right now and not taking his life. But that would happen soon enough.“I don't think you should be asking that question, but since you asked, I'm going to tell you. You have no right to be with her. She's too pure for you,” I fired back, and the man scoffed.“Pure? Then who do you think is worthy of her?” he chuckled, and I nearly lost my temper and lunged across the desk.It was true that I wasn't worthy of standing by her side either, but I was willing to slave my entire life away for her if that was what it took.“I... you don't have to worry about that. Just sign the damn papers!” I yelled, my bottled-up emotions finally spilling out.“Sorry, but I can't. I married Scarlett of my own free will. I won't be coaxed

If so, then it was a video that shouldn't be in those women's possession.“Mama,” I called, snapping her out of her thoughts, and she heaved a heavy sigh.She had been lost in thought ever since she left her father's hospital room earlier, and even though I had asked what they talked about, she had only given me a vague answer. I didn't know what to feel, but it seemed she had been bottling up a lot of things from me.“What is it?”“Your stepsister mentioned something disturbing earlier. She said she has a video...” I was saying, but the way Scarlett screamed almost made me lose my grip on the steering wheel.“What? Has she lost her mind? How could she lie like that?” she rasped, her face darkening with ange

  • The Hired Gigolo Is My Husband's Son    Chapter 130

    Xavier's POVThe drive to the hospital was tense as Scarlett did her best to shut down every advance I made. It was as though she was trying to erase what had happened the night before.Things hadn't even been this awkward when we were trying to define whatever existed between us, but the moment I came clean about my feelings, she grew distant.“Do you want to grab dinner with me tonight? There's a—”“No,” she interrupted, just as she had before. “I'm going to work today, and I might come back late, so I don't think I'll be able to go.”I bit my lip in frustration.“Are you being this cold because of my confession?” I asked, slipping my hand over hers where it rested on her lap while steering with the other.She trembled at the contact before gradually relaxing.“No, that's not it. It's just that a lot has happened lately, and I need to clear my head. It has nothing to do with you... I promise.”Relief washed through me. She wasn't pushing me away outright, and even though her words d

    I Xavier's POV“Scarlett, are you still sleeping?” I whispered as I looked at Scarlett, who had her eyes tightly shut as she snuggled her naked body deeper into the duvet.My face beamed with a smile as I watched her sleep so peacefully, without a care in the world, and I couldn't help but think about what had happened the other night.I couldn't believe I had confessed my love to her so suddenly.But I wouldn't exactly call it a whim.I had realized my feelings for her the moment I saw her leave the station with that determined look on her face, ready to do whatever it took to get me out of prison.Her unwavering trust in me had made me emotional, and it was also when I realized that something had changed between us.My feelings for her had grown into something far more dangerous than mere obsession.That overwhelming realization had left me restless for hours until I was finally released from prison.Walking out of the station and seeing her waiting outside for me with a smile had s

    Leon's POV I had been basking in the excitement that I had leverage over Scarlett, ignoring the fact that she hadn't come to see me ever since that day. I had expected her to come the next day, but she never showed up. Shouldn't she be eager to see me after how we ended things the last time? I didn't want to believe that Scarlett didn't have the hots for me, so I decided to go to her myself. I got dressed and texted her about meeting for dinner. While I waited for her response, I got nothing. “She hasn't responded!” I exhaled sharply as I looked at my phone. It had been hours since I texted her, yet I still hadn't received a reply. I was so humiliated and angry that I thought about getting back at her by sending the video I took to Seraphina, but I knew that would ruin my plan. But Scarlett started this game first. She shouldn't blame me for being heartless. “I'll just go out with—” I was speaking when I heard a knock on my hotel room door. I had thought it was room ser

    Seraphina’s POV“That bitch! I'm sure she's packing everything that's hers in the Sinclair mansion by now,” I mumbled as I looked at my father's unconscious body lying on the hospital bed.I was more concerned about how Chairman Sinclair would react if he found out about Scarlett's extramarital affair. I wouldn't be shocked if he was throwing a fit at the moment. Would he simply divorce her, or would he make sure she never set foot in the country again?I was too excited to find out what the headlines would be tomorrow. Even though my father was lying in a hospital bed after being beaten into a coma by the chairman, I couldn't help but smile.Everything was turning out too perfectly.And as for my stepfather, I didn't feel an ounce of pity for him because I believed this was his duty to us. If getting beaten like this once in a while could help us maintain our social status, then so be it.This was the price he had to pay to keep this family together.“Seraphina,” my mother called fro
