All Chapters of Unexpectedly Married to a Billionaire: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Amelia’s POV I walked slowly, and the air around campus suddenly felt different. Usually, crowds like this made me want to hide they made me feel small and suffocated. But this time, something had changed. Every step felt heavy, yet steady. Maybe it was because I could still hear the echo of my own voice when I stood up to Raisa earlier.I didn’t know where that courage came from. Maybe from the way Xavier’s gaze always steadied me. Or maybe because I was simply tired of always being the quiet one the one who surrendered. Whatever the reason, I had said what I needed to say, and those words now pulsed through my veins.I turned slightly to look behind me. Xavier was still sitting in his car, his eyes never leaving me. That faint smile of his said it all: I wasn’t alone.But then my eyes caught another figure. Raisa. She stood in the distance, staring at me coldly. That look pierced through me, making my heartbeat

Amelia's POV Xavier looked at me for a long moment, the faint fire still flickering in his eyes. “I know he’s your friend.”“But?” I prompted softly.He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “But I didn’t like seeing you that close to him.”I froze for a second, lowering my gaze. “Xavier.”“I know it’s childish,” he said quickly. “But I saw the way he looked at you. There was something in his eyes. And honestly, it made me uncomfortable.”I blinked, surprised by his honesty. Xavier was usually calm, collected, always in control. But this time, he let his emotions show.  “Samuel does care about me,” I said honestly. “But not the way you think. He’s more like the place I go back to when I lose my way. Just like you only in your own way.”Xavier’s gaze deepened. “And y

Amelia's POV The cheek widened, the smile on his face was sincere and comforting. "That's so good. I am capable of being an effective kitchen assistant, no worries." We stood side by side and headed to the modern, pristine, almost impressive kitchen. Initially, it was uncomfortable: I opened cupboards, searching for ingredients, while Xavier stood beside me with a determined look on. But slowly, the tension melted. I was taught to chop vegetables by him, and he would occasionally tease me when my cuts were uneven.I chuckled with ease, which is something I rarely do. “I'm not good at this. It was quite an effortless move.”With a smile on his face, Xavier replied with resolute agreement. "No. You're amazing, because you're trying. That's what matters." Upon finishing the dinner meal with a basic soup and toast, we all settled down together in front of the dining table. Although not flawless, the dish had a distinct fla

Amelia's POV I reached out and held his hand. “I feel a great sense of pride to be in that position." He glanced at me with gleeful eyes and smiled. "As for you, Amelia. You're the center." Holding my breath I just smiled faintly. I was filled with hopelessness when he spoke his words. I had a sense for the entirety of my life, convinced that there was no place in the world where I truly felt like an important part. It didn't change anything. However, Xavier saw me as someone who was truly important to him.Silence fell between us. There was only the sound of a ticking clock, and then there was that faint aroma of cold soup floating around the table. The moment was serene, with a calm demeanor.“Xavier,” I whispered.Even after he let me go, I can't help but feel like my hand is holding my arm.I looked up at his and said, "Thank you for making me feel like this house belongs to me." He

Amelia's POV I laughed softly too, then sighed with relief. “What’s your plan for today?”“Hmm…” He thought for a moment. “I have to deliver some books to the city library. My grandmother donated a lot of her old collection, and they asked me to help check the archives. You can come along if you’d like.”“The library?” I asked, my eyes lighting up a little.“Yeah. You like it?”I nodded quickly. “I’ve always loved places like that. It feels like home for lost minds.”Xavier looked at me with a gentle smile. “Then let’s go together.”  A few hours later, we were already in the car. I sat in the passenger seat, watching the busy streets roll by. A breeze slipped through the window, messing up my hair. I fixed it absentmindedly, glancing at Xavier who was focused on driving.“I ju
