---
The atmosphere in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Every single pair of eyes was glued to Leia as she held the letter in her hands, her voice ringing out clearly through the tense silence.
*"Darling, I was charmed by your agility the first time I saw you. My heart beat fast every time I saw your radiance on TV..."*
Skylar read those words floating in the air, and instinctively, every head in the room swiveled toward Santiago. It made perfect sense, after all. Santiago was the actor, the one who appeared on television screens with undeniable magnetism. Leia must have seen him on TV and fallen for his charm. The logic seemed flawless.
But wait—Xavier's expression had already turned into something terrifying. His jaw tightened, his eyes darkened with murderous intent, and his fists clenched so hard his knuckles turned bone-white. He looked like a man who was seconds away from wrapping his hands around someone's throat. The possessiveness radiating off him was palpable, and everyone in that room knew—anyone who dared to come between Xavier Stuart and his target would face his wrath.
Then Leia continued reading.
*"I want to say that my first crush is you... Skylar. I hope we can get closer to each other in the next few episodes!"*
The words hit the room like a bombshell. Complete silence. Then chaos.
Skylar's face went through an entire spectrum of emotions in seconds—confusion, disbelief, then outright panic. He scratched the back of his head awkwardly, looking like a deer caught in headlights, before turning to face Leia with wide eyes.
"Lei, I didn't expect you to be interested in me..." he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.
Everyone was staring at Leia as if she had just grown a second head. This wasn't supposed to happen! The whole internet had been shipping Leia with either Xavier or Santiago. The tension between Leia and Xavier was explosive, and the chemistry with Santiago was undeniable. But Skylar? They barely even talked! It was completely unexpected!
Online, the comments exploded once again:
*[No, she must be fooling us!]*
*[She's just making a scene...]*
*[No, I'm all for Xav Leia love!]*
*[But Leia likes Santiago more...]*
The netizens were going wild, arguing back and forth, unable to believe what they had just witnessed. Surely Leia was playing some kind of game, right? She had to be trying to throw everyone off the scent.
But interestingly enough, Santiago appeared to be the calmest person in the entire room. Gone was any hint of disappointment or jealousy—instead, a subtle smile curved at the corners of his lips, as if he were secretly amused by this unexpected twist. And Xavier? His murderous expression had melted away, replaced by something almost resembling relief. The tension in his shoulders relaxed, and he turned toward poor Skylar with a fake, dangerous smile plastered across his face.
"Well, well. I didn't expect you to swoop in when my back was turned," Xavier said, his tone dripping with false pleasantry that sent chills down everyone's spine.
Poor Skylar looked like he wanted the ground to open up and swallow him whole. He laughed nervously, desperately trying to dig himself out of this life-threatening situation.
"Mr. Stuart, Leia is obviously making a joke. There's nothing between us. Please don't harm the innocent..." Skylar pleaded, his voice trembling with fear.
And who could blame him? Anyone with half a brain knew that Xavier was targeting Leia. Getting in the way of a powerful man like Xavier Stuart was practically signing your own death warrant. Skylar was a talented swimmer, not a fool—he knew he couldn't afford to pay the price of snatching away a big shot's woman.
In a desperate move, Skylar shoved the letter right back into Leia's hands, practically begging.
"Lei, I'm begging you. Please have mercy on me and write another letter."
But Leia looked genuinely hurt by his reaction. She pouted, her eyes wide with sincerity.
"You're breaking my heart here, Skylar. I'm not messing with you. You were the Roacross Champion, and my heart raced when I saw you win that swimming match. Plus, the crew asked us to find someone we had taken a fancy to, so I didn't do anything wrong," Leia explained seriously, her voice carrying a note of earnestness that was hard to dispute.
And she wasn't lying. When she had watched Skylar's match on television, witnessing his powerful strokes cutting through the water with effortless grace, she genuinely had felt her heart skip a beat. It wasn't romantic love in the conventional sense, but there was real admiration and respect there. Perhaps even fascination.
Skylar blinked, caught off guard by her sincerity. He let out a resigned sigh, scratching his head again.
"Well, I can't argue with that. I just did my best. If you like, I can take you swimming in the sea."
The tension in the room shifted from dangerous to something lighter, more playful. Leia's eyes lit up with genuine excitement.
"Sure! Let's go snorkeling in front of my villa early tomorrow morning, okay?"
"Alright. You don't have to worry about drowning since I'll be there to protect you," Skylar said, a confident grin spreading across his face.
"Yeah, it'll be great having a merman like you around," Leia teased, and they both burst into easy laughter.
Just like that, the two of them started chatting together like old friends reunited after years apart. It was clear to everyone watching that they got along incredibly well—there was a natural, effortless chemistry between them that nobody had noticed before.
But in the corner of the room, Xavier watched the exchange with sharp, calculating eyes. His relief had been short-lived. The dangerous glint returned to his gaze as he observed the easy camaraderie blossoming between Leia and Skylar.
The game was far from over.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
What a wonderfully unexpected chapter! Just when we thought Leia's letter would point to Santiago or Xavier, the story takes a refreshing twist and reveals her crush on Skylar—someone completely unexpected! I absolutely loved watching Xavier's murderous expression transform into relief, only to be replaced by a new kind of jealousy as he watches Leia bond with Skylar. The dynamic between Leia and Skylar is genuinely charming and lighthearted, a nice contrast to the intense, possessive energy Xavier brings to every scene. Poor Skylar's panic was both hilarious and relatable—who wouldn't be terrified of crossing a man like Xavier Stuart? This chapter also gives us deeper insight into Leia's character. She speaks her mind fearlessly, even when everyone doubts her intentions.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Based on the way this chapter ended, we're definitely heading toward some intense drama! Leia and Skylar have agreed to go snorkeling early tomorrow morning, and you can bet Xavier won't take this lying down. Will he show up at Leia's villa uninvited? Will he try to sabotage their little swimming date? And what about Santiago—his calm smile suggests he knows something the others don't. One thing is certain: Xavier Stuart is not the kind of man to sit back and watch while the woman he's pursuing spends quality time with another man. Get ready for fireworks in the next chapter!
