บททั้งหมดของ Mayor's Addiction: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

I turned around and came face-to-face with Mr. Mayor, who had patched up his head and come back for God knows what.I burst into tears at the sight of him. He looked exhausted and confused when he stared at us."I came here to check on you," Xavier said, lowering his gaze from my face."Check on me?" I murmured in embarrassment. The person who hit him was me. I should have been the one to reach out to him. The fact that he came rushing back instantly from the hospital was enough to make me feel guilty."I don’t know, I just felt like you were not okay," he mumbled, not raising his eyes to look me in the eye. I have never witnessed him so polite and humble. But he looked broken, void of hope."I---- I didn’t mea----" I tried looking for some words to undo the damage, but guess what is the bad thing about words and actions? You can’t take them back. Obviously, I was talking about my perspective of him prior to knowing that there was his side of the story that I needed to know as well."

I frowned and shut my phone down, not paying too much attention to the person. I was tired of everything happening around me.Resting my head back, I recalled the misty eyes of Xavier. If I hadn’t moaned and enjoyed his touch earlier, I could have said I wasn’t even into him. I never led him on, but now I felt guilty. With Jace, it was different. He led me on and then believed some messed up story in his head and mistreated me. With Mayor, he led me on and I hurt him, and then he found out I was also sleeping with his assistant."Ugh! I am not sleeping with that asshole," I grunted, remembering how Jace scared me for my life. Home is supposed to be a sanctuary. He wrecked me when he crossed all his limits."I must text Xavier and ask him how he is," I murmured, remembering all the blood on the back of his neck and shirt.Me: Hey. I am aware you might not even want to hear from me or speak to me, but I was kind of worried about you. I mean, I hurt you. It is my responsibility to make s

He was sleeping beside me peacefully. Too peacefully. I have never quite seen him this peaceful before. I changed sides, and my eyes caught the sight of my phone.It had some texts from the same unknown number I couldn’t figure out about.Unknown: I know what you have been doing these days. Hiding behind a powerful person. Did you really think you could get away from me?I frowned, turning my face to look at Xavier, who was still sleeping. So it wasn’t him teasing me.Unknown: Enjoy to your fullest, but your days are numbered. You should have thought twice before messing with me. In fact, you should have to think twice before accusing me of anything.I steadily sat up in bed while staring at the messages. This could be only one person,"Jace!" I muttered his name under my clenched jaw and sighed. How would I ever make him confess it was him?Unknown: You know you cannot run away from me. I am coming for you, and this time, I won’t lose.My heart started beating loudly, but then the si

I had been in my room thinking about Xavier and everything. There were still a lot of things that needed clarification on his side. For instance, his whole affair with Zoe. I will never be comfortable with him until I find out the truth about them.I sighed, biting my teeth, and wondered if he would be back to his sweet self in the morning. That’s when my phone beeped and I was made aware of an incoming text from Jace."Now what?" I rolled my eyes, checking his text.Jace: I heard you leave the mansion. Did he kick you out?Jace: You really thought you would go there and he would accept you with open arms? You messed up. There is no way he would want you around again.Jace’s way of taunting me surprised me. If he knew there was nothing between us, why did he accuse me of leading them both on?Me: So you knew there was nothing going on between us?Jace: Where did you get that idea from? I just know after knowing the truth about you leading us on, he will never fall for you again.The w

"He is my unc---uncl---e," my cheat kept falling and rising with the heavy breathing. My heart was playing insane games inside my chest. My eyes were stuck on the disgusting man’s face in front of me. He shamelessly stared at me back, grinning like a moron. I couldn’t understand how someone could be so shameless and cruel. I was his niece, and he had not spared me from his dirty stares."He is?" Jace asked once he saw the tension between us. He looked at him and then at me. I had to turn my face to the side to avoid looking into that disgusting man’s eyes."Don’t tell me you had no idea about this," I muttered, turning around to walk away. The only reason I was staying in this freaking town was because of him, and now that he was here, I didn’t feel safe here anymore."Wait," Jace voiced for me, "I’ll talk to you in a minute, Mr. Morgan Delux." He excused himself and walked after me. I halted in my tracks once I was far away from that person. Since Jace hadn’t quit coming after me, I
