Ariana It he'd bearly been twenty four hours. I stood in the foyer still trying to process the news that Xavier had just shared with me. A funeral for Beto? I couldn't believe it. After everything he had done, I wouldn't have thought that the Castellos would even bother.But Xavier's words kept echoing in my mind: "Even if he was a traitor, he was still family." It was a strange sense of loyalty, one that I didn't fully understand.We drove to the chapel in silence, the only sound the hum of the engine and the soft rustle of the wind through the trees. I had never seen the chapel before, and I was struck by its grandeur. It was massive, with towering spires and stained glass windows that filtered the sunlight into a kaleidoscope of colors.The Castello estate was huge, and I felt a sense of awe wash over me as we stepped out of the car. I had never realized just how big it was, or how much history was buried within its walls.As we entered the chapel, I saw that it was already fill

Xavier As we pulled into the driveway, I could see my father, Joseph, pacing back and forth outside the house. His face was etched with worry and fear, and he rushed over to the car as soon as we stopped."Xavier, oh my god, what happened?" he exclaimed, helping me out of the car. I winced in pain as he touched my injured arm."I was ambushed at the market," I explained, trying to keep my voice steady. "Arturo's men were waiting for me."Joseph's face darkened with anger. "This is unacceptable," he growled. "There's another traitor, I'm certain of it. Someone who told Arturo where you'd be."I felt a pang of guilt, knowing that Ariana was the one who had handed Arturo the evidence he needed. But I couldn't bring myself to rat her out, not yet. Maybe it was because I still didn't want to believe that she had betrayed me."I don't know, Father," I said, trying to sound convincing. "I'll look into it, see if I can find out who was behind the ambush."Joseph's eyes narrowed, but he didn'

Ariana It had been almost a week since Xavier had last spoken to me. He had been ignoring me, and I couldn't blame him. I had hurt him deeply, and I didn't know how to make it right.The silence was oppressive, weighing heavily on my conscience. I had tried to apologize, to explain why I had done what I did, but Xavier had just turned away, his eyes cold and hard.I felt lost and alone, unsure of how to bridge the gap between us. I had grown accustomed to Xavier's presence, his fierce protection and possessiveness. Without it, I felt adrift, vulnerable.As the days turned into a week, I began to wonder if Xavier would ever forgive me. Or if I would be trapped in this limbo forever, unable to escape the consequences of my actions.I couldn't bear the thought of locking myself up in my room in the main house, not when Xavier was avoiding me. So, I made my way to Camilla's quarters, seeking the comfort of her warm and loving presence.I'd been spending a lot of time with Camilla lately,

ArianaI woke up to the warmth of Xavier's arm wrapped around me, holding me close. His chest rose and fell with each breath, and I could feel the gentle thud of his heartbeat against my back. We were spooning, our bodies curled together like two pieces of a puzzle. I didn't remember falling asleep like this, but I was glad we had. It felt...right.As I lay there, I couldn't help but think about how much my life had changed since meeting Xavier. I had gone from being a lone wolf to having someone by my side. He destroyed everything I had. But somehow, he's the only one I have. It's strange. He stirred behind me, his arm tightening around my waist. "Good morning," he whispered, his breath tickling my ear.I smiled, feeling a flutter in my chest. "Good morning," I replied.Xavier sat up, pulling me with him. "My dad should already be up for breakfast," he said, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "We should probably get up too. We can't rot in bed the whole day."I laughed and swung my l

ArianaXavier spoke loudly into the headset, "I love you." I was about to respond when I heard a strange whooshing sound. The helicopter's control panel started blinking red, which was clearly a bad sign.The pilot's voice came through the headset, panicked. "We've lost control!" he shouted. I felt scared and didn't know what was happening.Then I heard the sound of gunfire. One of the bullets hit the pilot, and he slumped forward in his seat. He was dead.I screamed and Xavier grabbed me, holding me tightly. The helicopter was spinning out of control, and I didn't know if we were going to crash or not."I think I can try to land it!" But my headset had slipped off my ear, and I wasn't sure if Xavier could hear me. I saw Xavier's face, scrunched up in concentration, as he struggled to make out what I was saying.I pulled the headset back over my ear, hoping to reestablish the connection. "I think I can try to land it!" I repeated, my voice shaking with fear.Xavier's eyes locked onto
