เข้าสู่ระบบRomano's POVKeira's lips trembled as I looked into her eyes. They held so many uncertainties and unsaid words, but I knew she could feel that she would never get the chance to say any of them.She should have known better than to constantly go against me. Maybe then, I wouldn't have gotten rid of her so soon."But why?" she asked, her voice shaky as she held onto my hand, probably hoping I would change my mind.But I was a man of my word.It was her time to go."Because you've become too meddlesome," I replied as I stood up from the bed and got dressed, picking up the used condoms. I didn't want any connection to her left behind.I also made a mental note to have my men clean every trace of me from this room."Meddlesome? But all I've done these past years is stand by you. I've never left you..." She trailed off, finally understanding why I had targeted her."I hope you won't hold it against me, Keira. I'll make sure your death is painless... and rewarding," I said as I walked out.S
Romano's POVKeira's face fell, and I watched her confidence slip away as she stared at me, as though she couldn't believe I was actually rejecting her advances."What's going on, Romano Sinclair?" she screamed, her bold makeup suddenly looking ugly as the wrinkles around her cheeks became more visible."Nothing. I'm just tired...""Don't give me that bullshit! When has that ever stopped you? How could being tired stop us? As if that has ever stopped you before," she lamented.I rolled my eyes in frustration."What's this about? I just don't want to have sex.""Do you not find me attractive anymore? After all these years, have I become old cargo to you? Is that why you can disregard me for your wife after all this time?" she rasped.I sighed when I realized she was going down memory lane again.I hated that.Keira and I had been having an affair long before she met Kaden, and she only married the man because I persuaded her to. I had had my sights set on Spring Green ever since I real
Romano's POVI watched as Xavier lost his composure while watching the video of Scarlett getting finger fucked by her ex-boyfriend. Even though I had wanted to kill that crazy bastard for laying his hands on my woman, the look on my son's face made me feel elated.It felt like the perfect payback. I had never thought Xavier and I would get along when he suddenly came back, but I never knew he would come after my wife.When I watched the video too, I felt my breathing constrict. Seeing that moron pump his finger in and out of my wife’s dripping pussy, and holding her like she belonged to him made something ugly twist inside me.I was mad with jealousy that she seemed willing to give herself to everyone except me, but I also felt like it could come in handy. Who would have thought I would use it to cut a deal with Xavier and save myself? Still, I doubted Xavier would be shaken by this. If I hadn't muted the part where Scarlett was moaning his name, maybe he wouldn't have lost his shit
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
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 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 darken
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
