All Chapters of Leaving You Bereft: Chapter 691 - Chapter 700

Gabriella asked, "What are you doing here?"Xavier leaned against the door, the intent in his eyes so glaring that it frightened her. Moments later, he walked toward her. Gabriella hurriedly turned around, her back pressing hard against the marble countertop. The hard edge dug painfully into her soft, delicate flesh, leaving faint red marks on her back and making her look pitiful. Now that they were all alone, the so-called higher pursuit was thrown out of the window. In fact, Xavier was as shameless as he could be. He gazed at Gabriella, carrying an air of elegance. He even reached out and touched her smooth, taut skin. Resting his gaze on her face, he said, "Don't wear something so revealing again. Does your back hurt?"She ducked out of the way calmly and said, "Xavier, this is harassment."Xavier didn't deny it, and there was indeed an undeniable yearning in his eyes. It had been far too long since he last saw her. He couldn't be faulted for wanting to touch her. That s

Kurt's head was smacked by a fire extinguisher, and blood splattered everywhere. His body swayed unsteadily before collapsing on the ground. Shortly after, blood seeped out from under him, spreading into a pool and creating a ghastly sight. Violet was still clutching the fire extinguisher, and there was still a bloodstain on it. She frantically dropped it to the ground, murmuring, "He's dead. I murdered him!"She was afraid that she would be held accountable and put in jail. Above all, she was terrified at the idea of being executed for her crimes. With trembling hands, she opened the car door and got in. Violet gripped the steering wheel as she looked at Kurt's limp body on the ground, her face twitching at the sight. Slamming on the gas pedal, she fled the scene. The red sports car made a quick turn and drove far away.After she was gone, Kurt's finger twitched once. Then, it happened again. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself up from the ground. Aside from his eyes, he was

After the banquet, Fred gave Gabriella a ride home in his luxurious car. Instead of driving it himself, he put his own driver behind the wheel. They sat in the limousine's backseat as it cruised on the busiest street in Brindley. The neon lights on either side gleamed with vivid colors, vibrant and playful.The mood in the car was easy and relaxed. Perhaps they were just meant to be. "What's on your mind?" Fred tilted his head and looked at Gabriella intently, completely enamored with her. She grinned somewhat leisurely. "I'm thinking about Christmas, wondering how I should spend it."At the next second, Fred grabbed her shoulder and pulled her close, her cheeks resting against his arm.Gabriella raised her head, looking so delicate and alluring that she stole his breath. His gaze, usually warm and mellow, darkened with lust. But she just had to take it further and provoke him. Her voice was hoarse when she spoke. "Fred, I didn't know you were hiding muscles under there."T

After Xavier popped the question, Rebecca looked at him the way she would an idiot. Fabian was at an utter loss for words as well.He rubbed his face hard, deciding he was done sitting with them. Rising to his feet, he made his way upstairs. Rebecca said, "I arranged a blind date for you at Pride Palace, Tuesday night. Thelma can't make it that night. Fabian will go with you instead."The lights shone brilliantly in the villa, but Xavier didn't have an ounce of strength left in him. He waved in response, hinting at her that he got what she said.Arriving at the second floor, he opened the door to the master bedroom and immediately lay on his big bed. The lights weren't turned on, and he lay in the darkness. When he heard the sound of the engine from the porch, he knew Rebecca and Fabian had left. His mind was in turmoil. He wanted to smoke, but he couldn't even bring himself to do it.Eventually, Xavier sprang to his feet and walked to the balcony. As he slid the glass door ope

Xavier was embarrassed. He turned to the dark spot in the parking lot and found himself looking at Gabriella, Evelyn, and Maisie. Even the vibrant, dazzling glow from the neon lights in the city paled in comparison to their allure.Evelyn couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Xavier, I'm sorry. I tried to hold myself back, but I just couldn't."Maisie burst out laughing as well. Honestly, she couldn't hold it back either. Only Gabriella gave a different reaction. Pulling her shawl tighter around her, she cast a glance at Xavier in the night. "Your blind date was a bust, huh?"He stared at her, drinking in her beauty, his gaze dark with desire. After a moment, he parted his lips, his voice hoarse. "So long as you're happy."For a second there, Gabriella's smile was bright and beautiful—happier than when she was with Fred. As expected, Xavier thought to himself. He still had a place in her heart. Gabriella immediately wiped the smile off her face, turned sideways, and stepped int
