---
The air around Leia and Xavier crackled with unresolved electricity. Leia had just uttered those two damning words—"I don't know"—and all Xavier did was stare at her with that infuriatingly calm expression. He reached out and playfully tapped the tip of her nose, as if they were still the couple they once were, as if her coldness meant nothing at all.
"Don't make assumptions then. We're close," he said softly, his smile curling upward in pure satisfaction. Then, as if she were a curious kitten he’d just teased, he let her go.
Leia gasped, her hands clenching into fists at her sides. She was furious at Xavier—but she was even more furious at herself. How could she keep melting under his gaze? How could her heart still race when he touched her with such effortless confidence? Every time she tried to build a wall around herself, he seemed to find the one loose stone and watch it all crumble. He knew exactly how to break through her defenses, leaving her breathless and utterly defenseless.
Maybe it was that unshakable confidence of his, but no matter how hard she fought, Leia felt like she was always at his mercy in this addictive, maddening game of love.
She finally forced some distance between them, inhaling deeply to steady her heartbeat. "What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here to say such boring things to me," she said, her voice cold and clipped.
Xavier, however, was entirely unbothered. "I came to see my friend, but I think it's more important to talk to you since I've found you here," he said, glancing at his watch. Then—without waiting for her response—he asked, "Are you free? Let's have a drink in the cafe downstairs."
Leia shot him a withering look. "No, I'm busy." She turned on her heel, ready to march away.
But Xavier was quicker. He grabbed her hand, his grip gentle yet firm, and pulled her toward the elevator. "No, you're free. Trust me."
"Hey! Xavier, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Leia hissed, trying to twist her wrist free. But it was no use. She was practically dragged into the elevator, her protests bouncing uselessly off the metal walls as the doors slid shut.
The moment they arrived at the cozy cafe on the ground floor, Xavier called out to a waiter with all the casualness in the world. "Waiter, I would like one iced Americano and one Cappuccino."
Leia froze for a split second. He remembered. Even though they had only dated briefly, Xavier remembered exactly what she liked—the sharp, cold bite of an iced Americano on a sleepy afternoon. He always seemed so carefree and uncommitted, the sort of man who could charm anyone and forget them the next moment. But here was proof: he wasn't that man at all. Xavier noticed everything. He remembered everything. And somehow, that made this entire situation even more dangerous.
As Leia settled into her seat, she crossed her arms and fixed him with a glare. "What is it you want to talk about? Hurry up, I have things to do."
Xavier leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs lazily. He rested his chin on his hand and watched her with that maddening smirk. "What's the rush? There's nothing urgent we have to do. Isn't it nice to relax, have some coffee, and get to know each other better?"
Leia gritted her teeth. "Don't you have anything better to do, Xavier?"
"Nope. The most important thing for me to do right now is to be with you," he flirted shamelessly, lifting his cappuccino to his lips as if he'd said something completely ordinary.
"You're crazy!" Leia nearly gagged at his cheesy line. It was ridiculous. It was infuriating. And somewhere deep down, it made her heart ache with a warmth she refused to acknowledge.
A comfortable silence settled between them for a moment. Then Xavier's expression shifted, becoming almost casual as he asked, "I heard you're going to join a love reality show that's scripted to have you dating Santiago?"
"It's a rumor!" Leia declared, her hackles raised.
For a second, relief flickered in Xavier's eyes—but it lasted less than a heartbeat. Because Leia wasn't finished. A mischievous, proud smile curved her lips as she added slowly, "I'm going to date Mr. Dalton. It's not scripted at all."
"Leia Osborne!" Xavier's voice dropped; he had called her by her full name for the first time. The pleasant laziness in his posture vanished, replaced by something sharp and undeniable—jealousy.
"What's the matter, Mr. Stuart?" Leia asked, the picture of smug innocence. Inside, she was gleeful. She had finally managed to poke through his shield, and the thrill of it was intoxicating.
Xavier's eyes turned icy, pinning her in place. "Are you trying to make me mad?" he asked, his voice low. "It's normal for couples to fight, but if you insist on bringing in another person, the damage will be irreversible."
Leia raised a perfectly sculpted brow, tilting her head in amusement. "A couple?" she echoed. "You and I? Or do you mean Mr. Dalton and I? If it's the former, I think you'd better go see a..."
The words hung in the air, a challenge half-spoken. Her smile was sharp, teasing, ready to wound—but behind it, her heart pounded wildly. Because they both knew exactly what this dance was. They were toe-to-toe, two people who'd once promised forever, now locked in a battle of pride, passion, and suppressed yearning. And Leia had no idea if she was winning... or slowly losing her heart all over again.

Reader's Impressions & Star Rating: Ah, this chapter is pure dramatic delight! The push-and-pull between Leia and Xavier is so deliciously intense that I could practically feel the sparks flying off the pages. Leia thinks she's in control, but her body betrays her every single time. And Xavier—that infuriating, charming man—may pretend to be casual, but his jealousy proves he cares far more than he lets on. I love how Leia taunts him with Mr. Dalton, and his reaction is priceless. The dialogue is sharp, the tension is simmering, and I am absolutely hooked. This chapter deserves a solid ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars.
Next Chapter Prediction: Oh, I have a feeling the next chapter is going to be explosive! With Leia's unfinished provocation still echoing in Xavier's ears, his jealousy is likely to boil over. He might take drastic action to remind her who she truly belongs to—perhaps a sudden kiss, a confession, or even a public demonstration that will leave Leia completely breathless and confused. And if Mr. Dalton gets involved? Sparks will fly in every direction. Something tells me Xavier is about to stop playing games and start fighting for real.
