Chapter 900 – Xavier’s Tenderness
*****Xavier had always known that Grace was a top belle… the kind of woman who could make heads turn even in a crowded ballroom, but he had never really seen her like this before… never this close and never this still.Now, under the soft spill of the morning sunlight filtering through the car window, it felt as if he were looking at her for the very first time.His chest tightened, his heartbeat drumming fast and uneven as his gaze lingered on her face.Grace was his wife… his woman, yet even he couldn’t help the absurd wave of envy that washed over him.‘How the hell did I get this lucky?’ he thought, his lips twitching in quiet disbelief.He had faced ruthless men, stared down death itself, and outsmarted devils in human form, but Grace… Grace was the one thing that made him feel weak.Still, the reason his words died in his throat was far simpler.Grace had completely fallen asleep in his arms, her breathing soft and uneven, her lashes trembling now and then as if she wer
Chapter 899 – I Shall Claim All The Debts Once and For All
*****Xavier couldn’t help but tighten his fists until his knuckles turned bone-white, the thick veins along his forearms standing out like cords ready to snap.His jaw clenched so hard that his teeth nearly ground to dust, each breath dragging roughly through his chest.The image of that decrepit old man… the fraud and the snake masquerading as a grandfather, Grace’s grandfather flashed in his mind like a curse he couldn’t exorcise.Before he even realized it, a dark storm had already brewed behind his calm exterior... a heavy, cutting, suffocating anger seething just beneath the surface. And just like that, the air around him had grown heavier, colder, and charged with a silent promise of vengeance.Soon, even the space inside the car felt smaller, the atmosphere bending to his mood.Grace didn’t see any of this... she was too lost in her heartbreak, her sobs still spilling softly against his chest.Her pain filled the air, fragile and broken, while his rage thickened like
Chapter 898 – A Vulnerable Grace III
*****“Apart from Grandmother and my parents, I always knew… deep down that no one else cared. They never treated me like one of them. I had always felt I was the outsider.” Grace’s voice cracked, another tear slipping down her cheek.“I tried my best, Xavier,” she whispered, her hands clenching weakly against his chest. “I did everything I could for the sake of the family. I worked hard, sacrificed my peace, and tried to prove that I cared for them… for the family. But they always treated me like I was the problem, like I was in the way.”Her breath hitched as her next words broke out like a confession. “But now… to find out that they were never truly family at all? To learn that Grandfather had been an impostor, and that the real one had died long before my father was even born…”Her words strangled in her throat.Before Grace even realized it, she had already clenched her fists until her nails dug into her palms, her shoulders shaking.Her eyes shimmered with red-rimmed fury
Chapter 897 – A Vulnerable Grace II
*****Staring at Xavier at this moment, even Grace couldn’t put into words the pain in his eyes.All she knew was that it felt like a blade through her heart... a look so filled with sorrow that it hurt just to witness. And just like that, the silence between the two of them stretched painfully long and heavy enough to make the air thick.Grace sat rigid, tensed to the point of aching, her fingers gripping her lap as though she might fall apart if she let go.Ultimately, she parted her lips again, ready to throw up her defenses… anything to keep her dignity intact, when suddenly, without warning…“Come here.” Xavier’s voice suddenly came out low, rough, and almost strained.The command… or maybe plea in his voice, hung in the air for half a heartbeat before he acted.Before Grace could process the words, let alone react, Xavier had already reached across the small space between them and pulled her to himself.The action was too sudden for her to process.One moment, she was
Chapter 896 – A Vulnerable Grace I
*****Grace hadn’t left the gathering to cry… no, that had never been her intention. In fact, crying had been the last thing on her mind.She had walked out of the mansion because she wasn’t able to breathe in there anymore.A wave of relief had washed over her after the doctor confirmed her father’s condition wasn’t life-threatening … but it hadn’t lasted long.The real reason, the one that made her leave, was none other than… her mother.Watching Susan crumble like that, crying helplessly, tore something deep inside her… something that had made her feel her chest tighten with each sob her mother released.It had hurt to look at her, yet she hadn’t been able to look away.And the more she watched, the more she recalled… all the harsh accusations, every bitter word, and each of the emotional daggers her mother had thrown at her in that heated moment earlier.Her mother’s tears were supposed to soften her… but all they did was reopen the wounds she had been desperately trying t
Chapter 895 - Half Defensive and Half Mortified
*****Susan drew in a long, tremulous breath that seemed to carry the weight of a thousand unsaid apologies.Her chest rose and fell slowly before finally, she nodded her head, her eyes glistening but steady.“I will be with my husband,” she murmured, her voice raw and brittle from exhaustion. “I will rest there… and keep an eye on him. Just in case he wakes up… or if anything changes.”No one tried to stop her… there was nothing to add.And Susan, after finishing speaking, rose carefully, her movements slow and deliberate… like every muscle ached from too much emotion.She turned toward the door, fingers trembling slightly as she pushed it open. Then, with a soft creak, she slipped inside and eased the door shut behind her, quiet as a whisper, as though the slightest sound would wake her husband untimely.And just like that, she was gone… leaving Xavier, Laura, and David in the thick silence that followed.None of them spoke immediately.Instead, the three simply stood there
