"I broke the silence by saying, Xavier, as my friend had told me before I was born. But now you know what happened? What did you mean?"
He breathed deeply, his eyes fixed on the pavement. “These feelings may have arrived too early. But I can't ignore them. Whenever you're struggling to survive, I feel a tug of duty against your survival. And it's not a pity, Amelia. It's something more."
My heart pounded hard. He spoke to a part of me that was both warm and frightening.
I said, “This is not new to me.”
She responded, “I’m afraid that I’ll offend me back.
Amplified that I cannot reciprocate your love.
After a brief glance, Xavier turned his gaze to the road and said, "I don't have any demands for you. Let me make you as the one who deserves my love. Do you deserve it? Provided you allow me, I aim to be the one who demonstrates it."
I chose not to spea

Xavier didn’t interrupt. He didn’t rush to comfort me or fill the gaps. He simply listened, his thumb brushing over the back of my hand now and then, grounding me.“I don’t ever want to go back to that,” I said finally, my voice hoarse. “I don’t want to return to the version of me who didn’t even know who she was anymore.”Xavier looked at me, his eyes filled with a kind of pain that mirrored mine. “And you won’t. I won’t let you. Amelia, you’re worth so much more than how he treated you. Don’t let your past define who you are now.”I nodded slowly, feeling the weight on my chest lift little by little.That evening, we had dinner with Xavier’s grandmother. The atmosphere was warm, almost gentle. She seemed calm, though she asked several times who I was. I answered patiently, explaining again and again, always with a smile.Bet

Amelia's POVI laughed softly too, then sighed with relief. “What’s your plan for today?”“Hmm…” He thought for a moment. “I have to deliver some books to the city library. My grandmother donated a lot of her old collection, and they asked me to help check the archives. You can come along if you’d like.”“The library?” I asked, my eyes lighting up a little.“Yeah. You like it?”I nodded quickly. “I’ve always loved places like that. It feels like home for lost minds.”Xavier looked at me with a gentle smile. “Then let’s go together.”A few hours later, we were already in the car. I sat in the passenger seat, watching the busy streets roll by. A breeze slipped through the window, messing up my hair. I fixed it absentmindedly, glancing at Xavier who was focused on driving.“I ju

Amelia's POVI rose quietly, careful not to wake him. The cold wooden floor met my bare feet, yet the chill somehow felt refreshing. I walked toward the back garden, hoping to clear my mind—but paused when I heard faint voices from the dining area.Peeking in, I saw Xavier’s grandmother sitting at the table, her silver hair neatly tied back. Her hands trembled slightly as she reached for a cup. Beside her, Xavier—already awake—was patiently feeding her soft bread.“Slow down, Grandma,” he said gently. “I know you like this bread, but don’t rush.”My heart swelled at the sight. There was something deeply moving in seeing this side of him—gentle, patient, protective.A small sound escaped me as I stepped forward, and Xavier turned his head. His face immediately lit up. “Good morning, Amelia.”I smiled awkwardly, feeling like an intruder. “Good mor

Amelia's POVI reached out and held his hand. “I feel a great sense of pride to be in that position."He glanced at me with gleeful eyes and smiled. "As for you, Amelia. You're the center."Holding my breath I just smiled faintly. I was filled with hopelessness when he spoke his words. I had a sense for the entirety of my life, convinced that there was no place in the world where I truly felt like an important part. It didn't change anything. However, Xavier saw me as someone who was truly important to him.Silence fell between us. There was only the sound of a ticking clock, and then there was that faint aroma of cold soup floating around the table. The moment was serene, with a calm demeanor.“Xavier,” I whispered.Even after he let me go, I can't help but feel like my hand is holding my arm.I looked up at his and said, "Thank you for making me feel like this house belongs to me."He

Amelia's POVDavin didn’t back down. “Amelia, can we talk? Just the two of us.”I froze. My eyes instinctively flicked to Xavier, who now looked at Davin with a sharp, guarded gaze.“If Amelia wants to,” Xavier said coolly, emphasizing the word—if Amelia wants to.I took a deep breath. “I… can’t right now.” My voice trembled, but I tried to stay firm. “There’s too much I need to do.”Davin lowered his head, his jaw tightening before he managed a strained smile. “Alright. I understand.” He glanced briefly at Xavier. “It was good to see you again, Amelia. Take care.”I only nodded, then turned to leave with Xavier.As soon as we stepped out of the archive room, I could feel Xavier’s energy shift. He walked beside me silently, but his jaw was tense.“Xavier…” I called sof

Amelia's POVThe cheek widened, the smile on his face was sincere and comforting. "That's so good. I am capable of being an effective kitchen assistant, no worries."We stood side by side and headed to the modern, pristine, almost impressive kitchen. Initially, it was uncomfortable: I opened cupboards, searching for ingredients, while Xavier stood beside me with a determined look on. But slowly, the tension melted. I was taught to chop vegetables by him, and he would occasionally tease me when my cuts were uneven.I chuckled with ease, which is something I rarely do. “I'm not good at this. It was quite an effortless move.”With a smile on his face, Xavier replied with resolute agreement. "No. You're amazing, because you're trying. That's what matters."Upon finishing the dinner meal with a basic soup and toast, we all settled down together in front of the dining table. Although not flawless, the dish had a distinct fla
