---
The atmosphere in the room had grown far too heavy for comfort. Leia's fingers hovered over her phone screen, her face a swirl of righteous fury and disbelief. She had just dropped a bombshell on Xavier — the suggestion that his own devoted fans were the ones who had caused today's terrible accident — and now she watched as he processed her words.
"Are you sure my fans were involved in today's accident?"
Xavier's tone was calm, but it held a nervous edge of doubt. He had never been the kind of man to chase fame or cling to his public image. In fact, if it hadn't been for Leia and his single-minded pursuit of her heart, he would have never exposed himself to the media at all, let alone agreed to appear on such an awkwardly staged reality dating show. He told himself he was only doing it for love — that every camera flash and every scripted scene was a stepping stone toward winning her over.
So when he learned that he now had fans, he carried the idea with gentle surprise. He assumed they would mirror his own nature: laid-back, forgiving, oblivious to conflict. His fans would surely never cause trouble. They were probably just sweet girls who watched his episodes, squealed at his screen time, and left adoring comments.
But the harsh reality of what Leia had just shown him shattered that innocent picture. Shock flickered across Xavier's handsome face as he realized, with mounting disbelief, that his so-called supporters were not the gentle souls he had foolishly imagined. They were reckless. They were rude. And worst of all, they had made an enemy of the wrong person.
"You don't believe me, do you?"
Leia moved swiftly, her fingers dancing across her phone. She pulled up the footage and shoved the screen toward Xavier with an urgent, almost confrontational energy. "Listen to what they said!" she insisted, her eyes blazing. The video began to play, and the ugly voices poured out like poison.
"They said you're handsome, rich, and nice. You're just the perfect man — and you and Shirley would make the perfect couple! You should protect Shirley forever!"
The venom in those recorded voices was unmistakable. Leia's jaw tightened as she forced herself to keep watching. "It was I, a wicked woman, who ruined your relationship with her," she typed in furious frustration. "They even scolded Ren! Oh, I just can't take it!"
Xavier frowned. He wanted to defend his fans, wanted to believe this was all some terrible misunderstanding. But the proof was right there in glaring clarity, and he had no rebuttal ready.
It was at that precise moment that the mood in the room shifted dangerously.
"They scolded my wife?"
Stefan had been watching the tense exchange with apparent calm, arms crossed, observing with the detached attention of a spectator. But that changed the instant Leia's typed words mentioned Renee. His body straightened like a whip, every muscle instantly coiling with menace. The mere thought of someone — a group of vicious strangers, no less — daring to speak ill of Renee sent a visceral wave of cold rage through him.
With a swift movement that surprised everyone, Stefan snatched the phone from Xavier's grasp. His piercing eyes scanned the video footage, his jaw clenching tighter with every passing second. The hateful comments rolled by, and each one carved a deeper crease into his brow. After a long, tense moment, his eyes narrowed into deadly slits, and a cold sneer curled across his lips.
"Since they were brave enough to do this, I'm sure they're prepared to face the consequences of their actions."
The statement hung in the air like the warning growl of a predator.
Leia turned toward him, curiosity replacing some of her fury. Her fingers tapped against her phone screen as she typed out the question that burned in her mind. "What are you going to do?" Her gaze met his, glinting with interest and anticipation.
Stefan's answer came without hesitation, delivered in a casual tone that somehow made it all the more terrifying. "I'll find them, then make them kneel and beg for Renee's forgiveness." His gaze was icy, steel-cold, utterly determined. There was no humor in his voice, no exaggeration. He meant every single word.
"That's more like it."
Leia shot Xavier a pointed, disappointed look — a look that carried the heavy weight of judgment. The contrast between the two men before her could not have been sharper. One was willing to hunt down anyone who dared insult his beloved. The other... stood there, offering only weak excuses.
"What about you?" Leia's expression demanded an answer before she even typed the question. "What was your first reaction when your beloved was bullied? But no — it wasn't your beloved that was bullied, was it? It was her fans that bullied others." Her fingers hammered the screen. "No wonder you're indifferent."
A strange surge of emotion rose in Xavier's chest. And then, inexplicably, he smiled — a flicker of hope, of misguided joy. He saw this as proof, a sign that her anger was born of jealousy.
"You're jealous?" he asked softly, almost eagerly.
For a moment, Xavier basked in the possibility. It had been so long since Leia had shown any sign that she still cared about him. Since she had displayed anything other than contempt or cold dismissal. If she was jealous now, enraged at the thought of him protecting Shirley, perhaps it meant there were still embers burning inside her heart.
But Leia's reaction was swift and savage.
"I'm jealous?"
Her eyes widened to impossible proportions, an incredulous, almost theatrical outrage overtaking her features. A derisive snort escaped her as she furiously typed her response: "Over my dead body. Why would I ever be jealous of you and Shirley?" She glared at Xavier with disdain. "I just think that your way of handling things is different from your best buddy's — and it explains exactly why Ren is obsessed with Stefan. But you...? Hmph, people will only get disappointed in you!"
The words stung. There was a rawness to them, a truth that cut deeper than any insult could. Xavier felt his heart twist — not from anger at Leia, but from the uncomfortable realization that she was right to be disappointed in him.
But Xavier was never one to back down without reason. He believed in logic, in rational solutions. Slowly, deliberately, he yanked at his tie, loosening it as if symbolically freeing himself from the tangled mess of the situation.
"Yes, Stefan and I are different, so we handle things differently. He always tries to bargain and argue, and he's decisive. But taking revenge won't cool his anger, so it's better if he doesn't take revenge at all." Xavier paused, his voice taking on a pleading, serious tone. "Well, my solution is more rational — I hope you can just ignore them and forget this happened. It won't affect you, right?"
It was a plea wrapped in cotton, a neatly packaged request for Leia to simply let the whole thing go. On the surface, it sounded like wisdom. Beneath it... it sounded like cowardice. A desperate attempt to protect his image, his fans, and perhaps his first love, Shirley.
And Leia saw straight through it.
"Of course you want me to stop fussing over it, so your first love will be safe!"
Her hands trembled with rage as she typed the accusation. To her, Xavier's rational approach was nothing more than a shield for the woman he truly loved. Why else would he be so eager to sweep everything under the rug? Why else would he choose peace over justice unless he was trying to protect Shirley from the consequences of her own fans' actions?
"I'm not going to let this go," she declared, her eyes burning with fierce resolve. "Since there's a video, we can identify the perpetrators — and I'll make them give Ren and Ian an explanation. I'll also ask Shirley to apologize to us on behalf of her fans!"
The words landed with the force of a gauntlet thrown to the ground. Xavier's attempt at peaceful resolution had failed spectacularly. Leia was not going to back down. She was not going to be silenced. And she had every intention of dragging Shirley into the light to publicly answer for the sins of her rabid supporters.
The tension in the room crystallized into something sharp and dangerous. Leia stood firm in her convictions, Stefan still burning with cold fury over the insult to his wife, and Xavier caught between the woman he still loved and the fans he refused to condemn.
The question that now hung in the space between them was no longer about the incident itself. It was about who each of them truly was when put to the test. And in that moment, before the next move could be made, only one thing was certain: this feud was far from over.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Well, well, well — what a gripping and intense chapter! Reading how Stefan instantly transformed into a fierce protector at just the mere mention of Renee being insulted sent literal chills down my spine. The stark contrast between Xavier's wishy-washy "let's just forget it" attitude and Stefan's ruthless "I'll make them kneel" mentality tells us everything we need to know about why Renee chose who she chose. Xavier really needs to reflect on his priorities — remaining neutral or a peacekeeper when your special someone has been targeted is just not it! Leia's refusal to back down and her insistence on justice, despite her inability to speak verbally, showcased incredible strength and spirit. This chapter deepens the emotional complexity between all four characters and sets us up for a serious confrontation. The pacing is fantastic, the dialogue forces you to pick sides, and I honestly cannot help but root for Leia to carry through on her threats!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
Now that Leia has publicly declared she will identify the perpetrators and even demand an apology from Shirley, can we expect a storm of chaos to break loose? I predict Shirley will deny all knowledge — acting like an innocent victim and playing the wounded party. But Renee is no pushover, and Stefan's icy revenge may cause the entertainment industry to shake. There is a strong possibility a confrontation between Renee and Shirley is staged in public, while Xavier finds himself torn as his first love and his pursuit of Leia collide disastrously. Buckle up, because a media war of epic proportions is heading our way!
