Semua Bab My Sister's Fiance, My Fated Mate : Bab 81 - Bab 90

**Elena**The door swung open.And there she was.Trisha.Looking too composed to be innocent.Her eyes skimmed over me, then locked on Xavier—her whole face lighting up like she’d caught him in some sin.“Sorry,” she said, “I thought you’d be alone.”I blinked.She had a key?She knew he was here?Before I could make sense of it, Xavier stepped forward, His voice dropped, sharp and cold.“What the hell are you doing here, Trisha?”Her smile faltered.Her lip trembled..Then came the voice.That high-pitched, sugar-dipped lie of a voice.“Xavy baby…”She took a small step forward, her hands clasped in front of her like she hadn’t just kicked down a wall.Xavier’s eyes darkened instantly.“Don’t,” he warned.But Trisha tilted her head..“You weren’t supposed to be with her last night,” she said quietly, eyes flicking to me before narrowing on him.“You were supposed to come to me. That wine I gave you..”“You still have the guts to say it to my face.”His voice cut through the room like

**Elena**The room fell into silence, only broken by the sound of Syra gasping, her hand flying to her mouth as she stumbled back.“No…” she whispered.Callan looked like someone had drained the blood from his veins. “ Was the sedative not effective..?”Xavier growled low in his throat, already turning toward the guards stationed near the door.“Get Helena home. Right now.”“What?” I blinked. “No…”“She’s unstable,” he snapped. “Armed. She’s not going after me, she’s going after you.”He faced the guards. “Escort her. I’ll find Trisha myself.”My fists clenched. “I’m not weak, Xavier.”“You almost died,” he said, eyes flaring. “I’m not risking that again.”Syra stepped forward, voice trembling. “We’re so sorry…Xavier, please believe me. We never thought it would get this far. We thought you could keep her calm. We didn’t know…”“You knew,” I cut in, voice sharper than I intended. “You’ve always known. You just didn’t want anyone else to.”Syra’s face crumpled, and tears slipped down h

**Elena**“Someone looks happy,” Nick said as we stood at the reception. I was signing the discharge form.“I should say that about you.” I gave him a slight grin. “Tell me... You even have your favorite perfume on. What’s up?”He cleared his throat. “I’ve been able to reach her. Got her contact details from the mall. Called her. Thankfully, she picked up and agreed to meet me.”I froze mid-signature. “And you’re just telling me now?” I whispered, stepping closer.“I didn’t want us to get too hopeful. And... you might scare her off if she knows you're on to her.”“Seriously, Nick?” My voice dropped but the anger didn’t. “Is this how you’re going to sly me? You know she’s the whole reason I’m behind this mask. And you just casually decide not to tell me you’ve reached her? Wow.”To be honest, I didn’t know if I should be upset that my best friend kept this from me… or be happy he found his girlfriend.“It’s not how you think,” he said quickly. “C’mon, you know I’d tell you eventually.

**Elena**TWO WEEKS LATER “Wow… that’s great news. But are you sure you want to tell him now?” Ivana asked as she leaned against the hallway rail.I paced back and forth across the third floor, my heart pounding in my chest. Xavier’s room was just a few steps ahead, but he wasn’t there. He hadn’t been around much lately. Distant. Cold. Silent.“Yes, I’m sure,” I nodded. “I don’t care what punishment he gives me… I just..” I swallowed the lump in my throat, “..I have to tell him the truth today.”I mumbled the last part more to myself than to her.“He’s been distant for the past two weeks,” I continued, still pacing, fingers curled into my palms. “He says he’s just busy. That there’s too much going on. But it’s more than that, Ivana… I feel it. Something’s changed.”I stopped, letting my head fall back as I stared at the ceiling. “And I hate not knowing. I hate walking around, afraid he’ll find out from someone else.”Ivana let out a soft sigh. I glanced at my phone. 5:47 PM.He s

**Elena**“I... I’m sorry,” I whispered again, my voice barely hanging onto itself.“For fuck’s sake, quit saying sorry!” he snapped.I froze.Xavier ran his fingers through his hair, pacing a few steps before turning sharply.“What’s the secret that’s eating you up so bad that you had to do this to me?” he asked, eyes burning into mine. “Tell me, Elena…” His tone dropped to a whisper. “Please.”I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.You can’t. You can’t tell him. If you do, it’s over… and if you don’t…it’s still over.“I can’t…” I mumbled to myself, eyes fixed on the floor. I don’t even know if he heard me.But then he sat down, just like that, on the edge of the cold marble stairs, looking completely defeated. His hands dangled between his knees. His eyes, god… they were red.“Did you even ever love me?” he asked, and that question sliced right through my ribs.I felt my knees give way a little. “Yes…” I whispered. “Yes.” Louder now. “I’ve loved you from the very first time I saw
