Semua Bab The Twin's Secret: A Billionaire's Tempting Proposal: Bab 191 - Bab 195

Xavier's POV The gala hall was packed, the chandeliers casting soft light over the crowd, their chatter filling the air as I sat at the VIP table with Christine. She was next to me, her face tight, her arms crossed, still giving me the cold shoulder from our fight last night. I kept my expression calm, nodding at people who passed, but my mind was on Daisy, who was on her way with Lucas.The ballet event was about to start, and I wanted her here, in the audience, to see her sister dancing in her place. My plan was simple: show her how easily she’d been replaced, make her bitter, and keep her tied to me. The gala was the perfect stage for that.I checked my phone, keeping it low so Christine wouldn’t notice. A message from Lucas popped up: “We’re here. Outside the hall.” My heart sped up, and I glanced at Christine, who was staring at the stage, her jaw set. “I need to step out for a second,” I said, keeping my voice casual.She didn’t look at me, just nodded slightly, her silence lou

Xavier's POV By morning, Daisy was becoming impatient because she spent all day indoors in the cottage.

Let’s talk.”She stopped pacing, her eyes sharp as she looked at me. “I’m tired of being stuck here,” she said, her voice firm. “I saw them at the gala, Xavier.

Xavier's POV I was waiting at the cottage when Daisy got back from the mall, the river’s steady hum outside doing little to ease my nerves. The plan to disguise her as Vera and send her to meet Daphne was risky, but it was the next step in keeping her angry, keeping her mine. I checked the camera feed on my phone, making sure no one had followed her, and paced the living room, my mind on how she’d pull it off. The door opened, and Daisy walked in, her short brown wig slightly crooked, her blue dress wrinkled from the drive. Her new face was tense, her eyes sharp with anger, and I knew something had happened. She dropped her purse on the table, her hands clenched, and looked at me, her voice shaking. “It worked,” she said. “I found her, Xavier. Daphne. I bumped into her at the mall, helped her with some bags, just like you said.”I sat on the couch, motioning for her to join me. “Good,” I said, keeping my voice calm. “Tell me everything. What happened?”She sat, her hands fidgeting,
