Chapter 903 – An Incensed Xavier
*****Inside her office, Dorothy was currently pacing about like a caged lioness, her heels clicking furiously against the marble floor, each step sounding more murderous than the last.‘This shameless man!’‘Arrogant!’‘Infuriating!’ She mentally screamed, resisting the urge to hurl her tablet against the wall.Her fists tightened at her sides as she forced herself to take a deep breath.Losing her temper now wouldn’t help… Grace was her priority at this moment, and the man on the other end? He was a necessary evil.“Where is my boss?” she asked at last, her voice low and measured, though the irritation still trembled beneath.Hearing her, Xavier grinned faintly, leaning against the wall like he had all the time in the world. ‘Oh, so she’s pretending to be calm now? Hehehe.’‘You think you can outmaneuver me?’ he thought silently, shaking his head. ‘You have no idea who you’re dealing with.’Adopting a more serious tone, he finally said aloud, “She’s with me.”Unfortunatel
Chapter 902 – A Cocky Xavier
*****“Should I pick it?” Xavier muttered to himself, frowning slightly as he stared at the cell phone in his hand. “Or should I put the phone on silent and just let her keep calling till her fingers cramp?”His gaze flicked toward Grace again… she remained perfectly still, lost in her much-needed slumber.The rise and fall of her chest was both steady and serene… proof that exhaustion had completely won over her stubborn willpower.On one hand, he didn’t want anything to disturb her. But on the other hand, Dorothy wasn’t exactly the type to give up easily.If she had called once, she would call again, and again… and maybe even show up at the gate demanding answers if she had to, after all, she knows his house. They had come here together the very first time.Xavier rubbed the back of his neck, sighing. “Knowing that woman, she’s probably panicking already because her almighty boss hasn’t shown up for work.”Then his eyes widened slightly as realization dawned on him. “Wait a m
Chapter 901 – Xavier’s Tenderness II
*****As though Grace were the most delicate porcelain ever crafted by the goddesses of art and beauty, Xavier carried her into his room with the kind of care usually reserved for sacred relics.Every movement was deliberate and cautious, appearing like that of a man terrified that even the slightest hint of a motion might shatter the goddess’s sleep.Once in his room, he lowered her gently onto the bed, the mattress sinking slightly beneath her weight, and for a moment, he just stood there, staring down at her as if afraid to breathe too loudly.She looked impossibly peaceful, her face soft and ethereal beneath the dim light of the room.Even her faint frown couldn’t steal from her beauty… if anything, it only made her look more heartbreakingly human.To him, she wasn’t just beautiful... she was everything: the heart of his world, the ruler of his turmoil, and the only one who could make his unshakable composure crumble with a single tear. He tucked the blanket around her car
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
