บททั้งหมดของ Mayor's Addiction: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

"I---" I stuttered even more than my eyes witnessed the crowd gathering around me. As they walked towards me, I held my breath and let it out."Wait. It’s not what it looks like." I tried to keep them away from me by raising my hands. The fear of what was going to happen next has caused my body to shiver."This is her bag." Morgan yelled, dragging my bag out of the car and showing it to the people. "Whose car is that?""I--I don---t kn-ow." I lied. My eyes unintentionally averted at the boy who walked out of my house, totally unaware of the whole thing going on. He wasn’t aware that we were busted."That’s his car." The old lady quickly targeted her ugly finger at the boy. He leaped and looked at everyone. The way he turned around and ran away from them, I could tell he was frightened of them."Get him." Morgan shouted at the young group of boys. They were already ready to jump on anyone. ‘’No, it’s not his fault.’’ I yelled after them, but they had already grabbed him. One of the bo

Mayor’s POV:I looked at her and tightened my fist into a ball. I could tell she was about to faint. But my mind had stopped thinking straight. I halted my pace in front of her. She raised her face a little and stared me in the eyes. I took off my belt, as I couldn’t hold back the anger inside me anymore. This shouldn’t have happened, and now I have no idea how much worse things are going to get. I saw her passing out while her hands were still tied up. She had her head resting on her arm. I raised my belt, but then I heard people chanting.... "JUSTICE, JUSTICE"I looked around and found everyone looking at me for justice. They wanted me to punish her, and why not? She had broken many rules before as well.I heard Justice's words one more time before swirling around to look at her."FUCK JUSTICE," I growled, raising my belt, but it didn’t land anywhere near Phoenix. I hit that bastard Morgan with all of my strength. He couldn’t even take the first hit and fell off on his back."Oh!" t

Mayor’s POV:I had plans for all of them, but my priority was Phoenix’s recovery. The doctors had done a great job of taking care of her, but shockingly, she hadn’t woken up yet. A whole day had passed while she was still asleep."Xavier! The clients are asking for you." Jace said, walking into my room and watching me fix my hair. I took one last glance in the mirror before heading out to the kitchen. Jace was literally handling all the business at that moment, and, truth be told, I cared less about anything other than Phoenix."You take care of them," I replied, paying less attention. I looked for the tray they had set for her, and a sigh of relief escaped my lips. It was the first time they hadn’t missed anything, or maybe they knew this time they were going to get punished hard because of how sensitive I was to her. Anything could happen."Xavier, don’t you think you are giving too much of your time to this issue?" He literally bumped into me when I halted suddenly."Well, that’s s

Mayor’s POV:Morgan’s Flashback:I saw her walking in my direction. A part of me wanted to hide, but how would I get what I wanted if I didn’t open up about my feelings for her?"Uncle Morgan?" She hurriedly pulled the bathrobe over her chest and looked at me in bewilderment."Yeah, I wanted to know if you needed something." I lied. Of course, I didn’t care about her needs. My needs are my priority."Well, you don’t have to waste your energy. I'll ask my aunt if there's anything I need." She was blunt. That scared me. I mentally thought that it would be difficult to get what I want from her.I have always known that she was a bit rude and that was something that scared me of her."No, I--I just care so much about you." I stumbled over my words. Looking into her eyes was going to mess up my thoughts."Thank you so much, but I can take care of myself." She flipped her hair and slammed the door in my face. How rude that I brought her here and all she gives me is this attitude! It wasn’t

Mayor’s POV:"Why did you have to traumatize her?" I raised my face slowly just to look him in the eyes. He got to see the rage in my eyes, and it shuddered his body."Please, it was not my fault," he begged again, probably shitting his pants just by staring into my eyes."Shushhhhhh," I hushed him shut, putting pressure on closing my eyes, "Exactly, it’s not your fault. Anyone will fall in love with her. So whatever you did was not your fault." I said, and watching me agree with him made him relax a bit. I saw a smile appear on his face, and I actually felt bad for him. This poor guy had been through a lot, and it wasn’t his fault either."Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor." He blinked with difficulty, yammering through his dry lips. The bruises had gotten worse on his body after the constant beatings."You don’t deserve this humiliation, this pain," I uttered, making him nod in agreement with me. The smile on his face kept growing bigger. Then I pulled my hand out of the pocket and se
