---
The night had been long, but not in the way one might expect. When Xavier scooped Leia up in his arms, carrying her toward the bedroom with all the eager energy of a young man hopelessly in love, it seemed as though the night held infinite promise. The air between them was thick with desire, the kind of unspoken electricity that makes two people forget the world outside.
But here's the truth, my dear readers—they did *nothing* at all.
Xavier's heart still ached for Leia. She had been through so much, bullied and broken inside that cold, merciless prison, and he could not bear to add another layer of strain to her already bruised spirit. Instead, he tended to her wounds with the gentleness of a man praying for forgiveness, his fingers tracing every bruise and cut, before finally wrapping his arms around her and holding her close as they both drifted into sleep.
But Leia? Oh, she was a restless little thing. Her dainty hands wandered across his chest, across the hard planes of his body, teasing and testing his resolve as if she wanted to see exactly how much restraint this so-called Casanova truly possessed. She challenged him wordlessly, her touch speaking the language of longing.
Yet Xavier kept his eyes firmly closed. "Calm down," he murmured, his voice low and detached. "There's no need to rush. We have years ahead of us."
Years. He said *years*.
When Leia awoke the next morning, the golden light of a lazy weekend sun crept through the curtains and painted the room in soft hues. She blinked herself awake, her heart feeling lighter than it had in ages—reinvigorated somehow, as if every wound from her imprisonment had begun to heal overnight. And then she saw him: Xavier, sound asleep beside her, his handsome face utterly serene. It was almost surreal. She had to pinch herself to believe this gorgeous man was truly hers.
Yet as she lay there studying his features—sharp jawline, perfectly sculpted lips, those dark lashes against his cheek—a wave of frustration swept over her. She remembered every rumor she had ever heard about Xavier. The man was notoriously known as a Casanova, a heartbreaker who had charmed his way through the glittering world of high society. Rumors painted him as an insatiable wolf in designer suits.
So why, oh why, had he been so stubbornly *chaste* with her?
Her gaze drifted down to her loose pajamas, and suddenly a dark thought crept into her mind. Could it be that she simply wasn't... tempting enough? That he didn't find her appealing now that he had her at his mercy?
That thought was unacceptable.
Summoning every ounce of courage she possessed, Leia leaned in and pressed her lips to his. It was a soft kiss at first, hesitant and almost innocent—but it was enough to stir the sleeping beast.
"Mmm..." Xavier stirred, still groggy from sleep, only to find the cutest little troublemaker throwing herself into his arms. And let me tell you, dear readers—no man alive could resist such temptation. In one fluid motion, he turned, caging her beneath him, his voice a husky growl. "You're a little inexperienced, Leia. Let me teach you a thing or two."
The morning sun seemed to blush, growing even more languid as the heat between them intensified. Their breath mingled, hearts racing in perfect synchrony, and it seemed nothing in the world could stop them now.
"Wait!" Leia's sharp voice cut through the moment like a blade.
Xavier froze, frustration flickering across his face. "Wait? Why? Don't you know a man gets particularly hungry in the mornings—"
"Shut up! You're the one who told *me* to calm down last night!" Leia snapped, though her cheeks were flushed crimson.
"Last night was last night," Xavier retorted, his hands already sliding toward her waist. "It's morning now."
"No, that's not it! I think someone just opened the door!" Leia gasped, pushing against his chest with all her strength. Her hearing had always been sharp, and she was certain she had heard the unmistakable creak of the front door swinging open.
Panic flooded her senses. "Is that your mother?" she whispered frantically, scrambling to sit up, straightening her hair and clothes as best she could. The very last thing she wanted was for her future mother-in-law to catch her in such a compromising position, looking like an absolute mess. She had an image to uphold after all.
Xavier let out a long, frustrated sigh, running a hand through his disheveled hair—a gesture that, despite its ordinary nature, somehow made him look even more devastatingly handsome. "Fine, I'll check."
He pulled on a pair of trousers, his bare torso still bearing the marks of their morning struggle, and stalked toward the door. His towering figure moved with an easy grace, and by the time he reached the threshold, that softer, playful demeanor had been replaced by the aloof, ice-cold mask he wore for the world. The transformation was utterly bewitching.
But the moment his eyes landed on the woman sitting calmly in his living room, that mask contorted into something far more dangerous.
"What are you doing here?" His voice was sharp enough to cut glass as he shoved his hands into his pockets, his gaze turning arctic.
The woman's eyes were already red and swollen. She rose from the couch in a single, graceful motion, tears spilling down her porcelain cheeks. Without warning, she threw herself into his arms, clutching at him as if the world were ending. "I missed you, Xavier," she sobbed. "Don't you want to know how much?"
Xavier stood stiff as a statue, his jaw clenched. "You should have known better," he said coldly, not an ounce of warmth in his voice. "What's the point of saying all that now?"
"I made a mistake, Xavier. Can't you forgive me?" The woman's tears came faster, smearing her carefully applied makeup. "I've already made it clear to the old man that I would be with you... even if he's going to cancel me!"
Now, let me pause here, dear readers, because we need to talk about who this woman truly is. Her name is Shirley White—a star actress who shot to fame under Xavier's patronage. Their story was the stuff of romance novels: the powerful tycoon falling hopelessly in love with a young, modest actress, pulling every string imaginable to place her on the path to stardom. He funded her rise, protected her reputation, and even stopped his own wild ways for her. Yes, the legendary Casanova had willingly locked his heart away—completely, madly devoted.
Fans adored them. Blogs chronicled their every public appearance. Countless netizens wrote fanfiction about their love story, shipping them like the perfect fairy-tale couple. It truly seemed as though they were destined to live happily ever after...
Until the ship suddenly capsized. Their public appearances stopped. Rumors began to circulate last year that Shirley had found herself a new backer, that she had betrayed Xavier after everything he had done for her. And so, the heartbroken tycoon reverted to his old ways, drowning his sorrows in a sea of other women. Or so the world believed.
And here she was now, begging for forgiveness as if the past had never happened at all.
"Ahem."
A tiny, pointed cough echoed from the bedroom.
Leia stood in the doorway, having abandoned any pretense of hiding. She clasped her hands together, an awkward smile on her face as she observed the dramatic reunion unfolding right in front of her. "There's... someone else?" she said, the question dripping with sarcasm.
Shirley's tears stopped momentarily as she turned, her gaze sliding past Xavier's shoulder to lock onto the woman in the bedroom. She was sharp—too sharp to play the fool. She had known the instant she stepped through that door that she wasn't the only woman to occupy this space. But she refused to be outdone.
"Xavier," Shirley said, her voice trembling with theatrical anguish, "if this is how you wanted to get back at me, congratulations. You've succeeded. It hurts so much I could die, but I won't blame you." She wept openly, her beautiful face the picture of pure misery. "You've now hurt me just like I've hurt you, so we're even. Can we stop this now?"
Then, she did the audacious. Rising on her toes, she pressed her lips to his—a desperate, tear-streaked kiss, even as Xavier stood frozen. "Let's not hurt each other anymore, alright?" she pleaded, her voice barely above a whisper. "Or involve an innocent person."
Xavier finally moved, pushing her away with cool, deliberate force. His expression was utterly devoid of warmth. "I believe I've made myself clear," he said, his voice flat and emotionless. "I've no intention of seeking revenge. Leia and I are in a normal relationship."
"Hah! A *normal* relationship?" Shirley's laugh was bitter and mocking. She strode forward, heels clicking with an actress's confidence, until she stood nose to nose with Leia. "I'm sorry, but my boyfriend has been rather inconsiderate, using you to upset me. We have some personal issues to sort out right now, so do you mind leaving?"
The challenge hung in the air, waiting.
Leia narrowed her eyes. No, she would not be cowed. Not now. Not ever.
"Why?" Leia's voice was calm, almost amused, as she stepped forward in Xavier's t-shirt—a shirt that fell all the way to her thighs, leaving her looking utterly relaxed and remarkably unbothered. "Didn't you just hear him? We're in a relationship. So *you* are the one who should leave."
Shirley felt like she had been slapped. A flash of genuine pain crossed her features. "Y-You're letting *her* wear your clothes?" Her voice broke, choked with tears. "Weren't you a clean freak who never let women touch your clothes?"
Leia absolutely *reveled* in that reaction, a victorious gleam in her eyes. "Yes. As you can see, I'm special to him." She tilted her head, every movement drenched in confidence. "So I suggest you show some tact, leave now, and perhaps you might just avoid humiliating yourself any further."
But Shirley wasn't done. She straightened, wiping her tears with the practiced grace of a seasoned actress. "You're wearing his clothes, and you think you're special?" She laughed—a cold, calculated sound. "Don't be so full of yourself. You might be special to him now, but let me tell you something—there are plenty of special people who came and went through his life. They all left eventually. But me?" She touched her chest, her chin lifting in pride. "I've remained his one-and-only. I am irreplaceable."
"What—"
The air crackled with tension as the two women stood face to face—one the woman Xavier once loved with all his heart, the other the woman holding it now.
Who would emerge victorious in this battle of wills? And what did Shirley's sudden appearance truly mean?
---
And that, my dear readers, is where this dramatic chapter comes to an end!
What a rollercoaster of emotions! This chapter beautifully balances tender intimacy with sharp, confrontational drama. I was absolutely captivated by the contrast between the soft morning scene with Xavier caring for Leia's wounds while she tries to tease him, and then Shirley crashing in like a storm ready to tear everything apart. It reveals surprising depths to Xavier—a man once known as an untouchable Casanova, but who shows incredible restraint, protection, and gentleness toward the woman he truly values now. The confrontation between Leia and Shirley is masterfully written, with Leia refusing to be pushed aside, standing her ground in nothing but Xavier's shirt, using her position proudly. Yet, Shirley's confidence, her claim of being "irreplaceable," raises serious questions. Is she bluffing? Or does she truly hold a piece of Xavier's heart that no one else can touch? The mystery deepens, and I am desperate to know what happens next!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
What will happen next? With Shirley now physically invading their space and declaring her intention to win Xavier back at any cost—even mentioning "the old man" who might cancel her, suggesting she risks everything—the battle lines have been drawn. Will Leia manage to hold her ground, or will this ghost from Xavier's past crack the foundation of their fragile, healing relationship? And more importantly, will Xavier truly be able to resist a woman who once held his heart so completely that he changed his entire lifestyle for her? I predict a fiery confrontation ahead, one where old wounds, hidden secrets, and true intentions will all come to light!
