บททั้งหมดของ Xavier's Surrogate: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

Collette’s eyes followed Halle as she walked into the kitchen and sat down in the dining area, Tabitha was at the table, a bowl of popcorn in front of her and a wide grin on her lips. She had changed the color of her hair to a bright pink color and it made Halle wonder if there was actually a dress code for Xavier’s workers and just how high their limits were. But then again, Xavier wasn’t your usual billionaire, it didn’t surprise her that his workers didn’t dress like they had all undergone countless years of training just to get the job. What Halle noticed though was that most of his workers were not just hired from an interview but they had a certain connection in the family that probably dated back years. They didn’t just hire strangers. This was probably why everyone who didn’t know what had occurred three years ago between Xavier and Halle was wary of her intentions. At least Halle noticed that June was. June was at the sink clearing the dishes from breakfast, they had all

Xavier held Halle’s hand as they walked out, as much as she tried to ignore it…it was happening.She was sure her brain short circuit when he took a hold of her hand and then punched in the codes for the front door and it hissed open.The cars weren’t where they usually were and while Halle was so caught up in the warmth of his hand covering hers, he led her to a part of the house that she had never been in but always wondered about.It was at the far end of the house, where one wouldn’t even suspect anything was being kept, the garage door was the first thing Halle noticed before the statues that were placed on either sides of the door.They both walked to the door and Xavier opened a keypad that was almost hidden from other eyes, it had blended in with the grey wall and had a covering that it seem like it wasn’t there.He was hiding the location of his garage…or was there something else in there that he was hiding from prying eyes?As the questions weighed on her tongue, Xavie

Xavier stiffened somewhat when they stepped into where all the action happened. The amusement park was filled with so many bright colors that Halle’s lips couldn’t help but curl up. The man next to her looked almost wary of his surroundings, while Halle stared at the countless rides and the food courts excitedly, her eyes drifted to his brown ones and she gave him a reassuring smile.“How many times have you been here?” He asked, his hand coming between them and joining their fingers.Halle looked down at their joined hand and then back up at him.Was he that nervous about being in such a public place?“I’ve been here twice, you’ll love it I promise!”She didn’t want him wary when he was supposed to be having fun which was exactly what he needed. “So, what would you like to do first? What rides will you like to get on?” Halle grinned, her excitement slowly drowning the strange feeling she had been harboring in her chest since they left the Manor.Xavier’s lips pursed, he w

“Xavier!” Halle gasped in horror, “Do you still have Simon?!”He cocked up a brow, and the corners of his lips twitched as he looked on in mirth like he had expected the question, he didn’t look surprised rather his sly grin widened and he rested his chin on his palm.“I was beginning to wonder when you’d think about it,” He chuckled humorously, sipped on the red wine Tabitha had poured for him before leaving, and then set the glass down leisurely.Halle’s heart thundered in her chest and as much as she tried she couldn’t help but feel guilty for not feeling guilty.She couldn’t believe she had forgotten all about him...She could expect such a thing from Greta because Greta hated the man but her?She loved him at some point in their relationship or at least she thought she did.Still, it was very wrong of her to—“Yes, he’s still in my basement,” Xavier replied nonchalantly and went back to eating his food like they were discussing the weather.“Oh my God,” Halle’s palms cov

“No,” He simply said. Halle’s “Please,” This time it wasn’t Simon’s voice but hers that echoed in the room, “Let him go,” She pleaded to Xavier who still stood by the door, unmoving. eyes widened with shock. Did he just— “It is obvious he has suffered enough, Xavier!” No. There wasn’t even the slightest chink in his armor or a crack on his mask. He just stared. “Not enough,” He replied coldly, “Not until I say it is enough,” Halle’s heart chilled…She took a subconscious step back. “Not even the worse of men deserve this sort of punishment, Xavier...this is cruel!” She vociferated. Her clenched fists shook at her sides. “This is my life,” He voiced out, “If you are going to be with me, then you’re going to have to get used to sights like this!” He pointed at Simon, “Don’t get all soft on me now, Halle,” His voice was low and sounded so calm but the chill she felt from his tone was enough to let her know that this conversation wouldn’t get anywhere. Yet, she felt struck by hi
