CHAPTER 41: GOOD-FOR-NOTHING GIRLFRIEND

CAMILA POVI watched Xavier scoff, his face hardening with pure disbelief. “Our child?” He pinched the bridge of his nose, clearly fighting to keep his temper under control. “Camila, I don’t have time for this. Be warned. Don’t ever threaten Veronica again.”He turned to leave, dismissing me like I was some minor inconvenience.My blood boiled. “Xavier, wait—” My voice cracked before I could stop it. “You think this is a joke, huh?” I snapped, my voice shooting up. “You are the father of this child, and you have to take responsibility.”Xavier stopped. His eyebrow shot up, and those dangerous eyes narrowed on me. “What in the world are you talking about? You and I have never once gotten intimate. If you’re pregnant, go look for the actual father of the child.”Shit.For a split second, my mind went blank. My stomach twisted violently. Dammit, Camila. I thought lying would rattle him, but this man isn’t stupid. I quickly masked the panic, forcing a pout onto my lips like it was the eas

CHAPTER 42: I HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON KADE.

XAVIER POVI stepped into my car and drove out of the Velmora estate, the heavy gates closing silently behind me. My stomach growled again, still haunted by the rich scent of layered cheeses and that perfectly seared king crab. I tightened my grip on the wheel. Pathetic.Everything about today felt pathetic. Camila on her knees, offering herself like some desperate prize. The fake innocence, the seductive voice, the way she tried to force a reaction out of me. It was all so damn predictable. And the worst part? My own father had trapped me in this nightmare years ago by forcing that sham of a marriage on me. He thought he was securing alliances and power, but all he did was chain me to a spoiled, manipulative woman who brought nothing but drama and lies into my life.I was done waiting.Without hesitation, I picked up my phone and dialed my lawyer directly, no longer bothering to go through Kade.“Mr. Cross,” the lawyer answered on the second ring, sounding surprised. “Good evening,

CHAPTER 43: SAFE TO SAY I LOVE YOU?

THIRD PERSON POVThe moment Xavier stepped into the house, the twins froze in the middle of the living room, their little bodies going completely still as their eyes landed on him.Then the explosion came.“Birdie man!!!” they screamed at the same time.Agatha was the fastest. The four-year-old launched herself forward with all the energy her small legs could give, jumping straight into Xavier’s arms. Adrian followed right behind, crashing into his other side. Both children wrapped their tiny arms around him as tightly as they could, burying their faces in his chest.Xavier didn’t hesitate. He crouched down immediately, setting the gifts aside so he could hug them properly. His strong arms enveloped both twins at once, holding them close against his broad frame. For a moment, the weight of the long, stressful day melted away. This — their warmth, their pure excitement — felt like home.“We missed you, Birdie man,” Agatha said softly, pulling back just enough to cup his jaw with her sm

CHAPTER 44: DADDY ZANE?

THIRD PERSON POV“Well, I love you so much, Veronica,” Xavier said, his voice low and sincere as he held her hands.Veronica pulled her hands away gently, though her fingers lingered a second longer than necessary. “Xavier…” She smirked, trying to hide how affected she was. “What’s it‘mi amor’?” Xavier asked.“Why would you tell me you love me on the same day I find out you have a wife? Forced marriage or not, you both are still legally married, Xavier.”Xavier reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He unlocked it and turned the screen toward her. “See? I called my lawyer not long ago. The divorce filing is happening this weekend.”Veronica exhaled, some of the tension leaving her shoulders. “Much better.”Xavier smirked, stepping closer again. “You’re sure jealous of her, but she has nothing on you, amor.”She rolled her eyes, though a small smile tugged at her lips. “As I said, I’m not jealous.” She paused, then asked, “Are you hungry?”“Hmm… I’m hungry for you.”Veronic

CHAPTER 45: LUCIEN DRAYKE DOESN’T FORGIVE.

ZANE POV“Babe… Camila pisses me off so fucking much,” I muttered, staring at Kade as water droplets slowly crawled down his defined abs. He had just stepped out of the shower after fucking me so good, towel hanging low on his hips, looking looking way too good for how irritated I was feeling. “I swear I would’ve dumped her ass a long time ago if she wasn’t the only ticket to Xavier’s properties.”Kade wiped his face with a smaller towel, his movements slow and controlled. He didn’t even look at me when he replied, “Just let her do her thing. Xavier isn’t an easy man to crack.”I groaned loudly and leaned back against the headboard, dragging a hand through my hair. “Do you think I should tell Ronan about all this?”Kade finally paused, then shook his head. “What do you think Ronan would do? This is your life, babe. Your father has done more than enough for you already. It’s about time you started standing on your own.”His words landed like a slap. I stared at him, jaw clenched tight.

CHAPTER 46: GREEK GOD

VERONICA POVMy heart slammed against my ribs so hard I was sure Xavier could hear it.The moment Agatha’s innocent words left her mouth—“I like Birdie man more than Daddy Zane”—something sharp and electric shot through my entire body. Heat flooded my cheeks, then my neck, spreading downward like wildfire. My stomach twisted in that nauseating mix of panic and warmth I couldn’t quite name. The kids had just casually dropped a bomb. It wasn’t even what she said that was the problem. Because obviously, there was nothing between me and Zane. Nothing. Maybe except the fact that he was pushing beyond his boundaries; aside from that, nothing at all.A kind of ease that had slowly built itself without permission. And maybe that was the dangerous part.The kids didn’t know that, though. To them, words were just words.But to adults?Words were complications.And the worst part was the thought I couldn’t quite push away—I don’t want Xavier to know about this.Not because I was doing anything

CHAPTER 47: SEXUAL ASSULT

VERONICA POVI lifted my hand and rested it lightly against his chest, feeling the steady thrum of his heartbeat under my palm. “Hey,” I whispered, searching his eyes. “Wanna talk about it?”A slow smile touched his lips, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Sure. I’d really like to talk about it with you. We’ve never had a deep conversation before.”I rolled my eyes, trying to sound nonchalant even as my pulse quickened. “Uhmm… why do you even want to have a deep conversation with me? I’m not your wife.”He let out a low, warm laugh that vibrated through his chest under my hand. “If I hadn’t studied you for the longest time, I doubt I’d be able to deal with your unpredictable ass.”“What do you mean?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.“Some seconds you’re acting like you want me — and I know you do. The next minute, it’s… otherwise.” He tilted his head, his gaze softening as he brushed a thumb across my cheek. “You don’t have to hide your emotions from me, okay?”I rolled my eyes again, mo

CHAPTER 48: DON’T FALL FOR ANOTHER CROSS

THIRD PERSON POVVeronica’s jaw actually dropped. She stared at him, mouth slightly open, before she caught herself and closed it. “What? That’s… Jesus, Xavier. That’s messed up. How could he do that to you?”Xavier shrugged, his broad shoulders lifting slightly before falling again, as if the weight of the memory had long since settled into his bones. “Who knows…”“Wait—how did it even happen?” she pressed, leaning forward. “Did he just walk up and say, ‘Xavier committed sexual assault,’ with no proof? And everyone believed him?”“Not exactly. It was… complicated.” Xavier paused, rubbing the back of his neck. “We had a housekeeper back then. I was twenty-four or twenty-five. Zane was still a teenager. He assaulted her. I walked in right in the middle of it—tried to stop him. He exhaled slowly through his nose. “Next thing I knew, I was the one being accused.” Next thing I knew, I was the one being accused.”Veronica’s eyes widened, disbelief flashing across her face. “Hold on. Why w

CHAPTER 49: WEDDING INVITATION

DIANA POV Earlier In Day I stared at my phone, frowning. Xavier had ended the call so abruptly it felt weird. When I tried calling back, it went straight to unreachable. Maybe he got pulled into an impromptu meeting. That had to be it. I pushed away from my desk, rolling my shoulders with a satisfied groan. After nine straight hours of staring at code, the website I’d been nursing for months was finally live and stable. No more random crashes. No more vulnerability alerts popping up like acne. It was actually… done. “Thank fuck,” I muttered, stretching my arms high above my head until my spine popped. “I’m a graduate now. No more 8 a.m. classes. No more lecturers cancelling shit after I’ve already dragged my ass across campus in heels.” Blair had been good to me. Brutal sometimes, but good. And now I was back in LA, sharing a decent apartment with Asher — my best friend of four years. At least, that’s what he thought we were. Only I knew the truth. I hadn’t seen him as just a fri

CHAPTER 50: DON’T CRY WHEN YOU SEE THE SURPRISE

XAVIER POVI stood leaning against the Porsche, arms loosely crossed over my chest as I waited for the kids to finish getting dressed. The morning sun was already warm on my skin.Finally, the front door opened. Agatha and Adrian came running out first, their little backpacks bouncing on their shoulders. Veronica followed right behind them in that soft peach dress that made her look like she’d stepped out of a dream. She didn’t even realize how dangerously beautiful she looked this morning.“Yayyy! Daddy is driving us to school in the big car that smells like chocolate!” Agatha squealed, scrambling into the backseat with zero grace.Adrian climbed in after her, eyes wide with excitement. “It smells like brownies!”“Can you be quiet for the whole ride, Agatha?” Veronica said firmly as she slid into the passenger seat beside me, smoothing her dress over her thighs.“But why, Mommy?” Agatha whined, already bouncing lightly in her booster seat.Veronica turned and gave her the look — that
