---
The tension crackled like a summer storm as Xavier and Leia stood face to face, hurling words at each other with a fierceness that felt painfully familiar. Their voices clashed in the air, each one refusing to back down. At first, the argument seemed to spring out of nowhere, but for anyone who knew their history, this was just old unresolved fire being stirred back into life.
Xavier’s eyes flashed with warning as he looked at Leia. “Don’t push it, Leia. You can insult me all you like, but don’t insult Stefan.”
But Leia was far from intimidated. She shot right back, her tone sharp as a blade. “What’s the big deal? You insulted Ren too!”
And just like that, they were at it again—two people who knew exactly which buttons to push on each other. As much as they annoyed each other, their bickering also held a strange comfort, like slipping back into a familiar rhythm that neither had fully forgotten.
There was a time, back when they were together, when Xavier would have silenced these arguments in a single, simple move. Whenever Leia started getting feisty, he would just kiss her, effectively cutting off the debate at the knees. It was his secret weapon, and it worked every time. Of course, even Xavier couldn’t deny that Stefan could be a scumbag sometimes. But with Leia in front of him now, no longer his girlfriend, all he could do was cross his arms and glare at her with a grumpy, frustrated pout.
Leia saw that helpless frustration on his face, and a wide, victorious smile spread across her lips. She looked like she had won the lottery.
“What’s the matter?” she teased, tilting her head with an infuriating grin. “You can’t deny that Stefan is a scumbag, huh?”
Xavier’s jaw clenched, but before he could defend himself further, Leia softened just a little. She let out a quiet sigh and spoke more gently. “Yes, Stefan did something bad... but Renee still loves him very much. We can’t do anything about it...”
Xavier looked at her, and something sly crept into his voice. He wasn’t about to let her have the last word that easily.
“At least she’s not like some people,” he said sarcastically, each word deliberately aimed. “Some people who can’t let small mistakes go, then cut people off and push people who love them away.”
Leia froze mid-breath. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously as she studied his face. There was no question about it—he was talking about her. The sting of his words lingered in the air like smoke, and she felt her own defenses rising.
Standing off to the side, Santiago watched the entire exchange in silence, his heart sinking little by little. He felt like an outsider in his own scene. Watching Leia and Xavier go back and forth, argue and jab at each other, they genuinely looked like an old married couple. The familiarity between them was unmistakable, and jealousy coiled quietly in his chest.
What unsettled Santiago even more was something subtle. With Xavier, Leia seemed to let down her guard completely. She was unfiltered, fiery, and completely herself. But whenever Leia was with Santiago, even with all her warmth and affection, it felt like she was wearing a mask—a polite, pretty mask that kept him at a distance. He longed to see the raw, genuine Leia, the one who laughed freely and argued without pretense. And somehow, Xavier had seen that side of her all along.
Santiago wasn't the kind of man to let jealousy ruin things, though. He took a quiet breath, reached for Leia's phone, and held it out toward her, effectively slicing through the tension between Xavier and Leia.
“Your phone is here,” he said calmly, with just enough gravity to interrupt them. “I think you can call your friend if you're really worried about her.”
Leia’s expression instantly brightened. The storm in her eyes cleared, replaced by genuine gratitude. She took the phone, shooting Santiago a warm beam. “Thank you, Mr. Dalton. You're the best!”
The argument with Xavier faded away as she immediately began dialing Renee’s number with her left hand. But Santiago didn’t let her gratitude slide past him. He shook his head unhappily, a quiet frustration coloring his voice.
“If you really think so, stop calling me Mr. Dalton...” he muttered. Then, with more intensity, he added, “You can call me Santiago or even Santi.”
Leia paused and looked up, caught off guard. “Ah, I...” The words stumbled out of her mouth. She could tell Santiago was upset—no, not upset exactly, but disappointed in a deep, personal way. She simply didn’t know how to respond.
Santiago pressed on, his tone gentle but firm. He left no room for argument. “Mr. Dalton is what my fans call me. But you’re not just my fan anymore, are you? So can you call me Santi from now on?”
Leia’s cheeks flamed bright red as she finally nodded. “Okay... Santi.”
The name rolled off her tongue awkwardly at first, and a wave of shyness washed over her. Her heart fluttered embarrassingly, beating hard in her chest, and she felt as though she had been thrown into the middle of a romantic television drama. Calling him Mr. Dalton had always felt safe and formal. But “Santi”? That was intimate. It was personal. It bridged the distance between them in a way that made her pulse race.
Xavier watched the exchange, and a bitter scoff escaped his lips. He frowned, his jealousy barely disguised beneath layers of annoyance. “Did you guys forget I’m here? And Santi... How disgusting! Don’t tell me this is some kind of game between you two.”
Leia spun around, eyes blazing. “It's none of your business! Get lost if you don’t want to hear it.”
Xavier fell silent, defeated by that sharp tongue of hers, but before the tension could flare again, Leia realized something unsettling. Renee wasn't answering her phone. She frowned and tried again, listening to the empty rings echoing in her ear. Then again. And again.
No response.
The silence on the other end of the line was cold, heavy, and ominous. Leia’s victory over Xavier faded completely, replaced by a creeping worry that gnawed at her heart. Something was wrong. She could feel it. Renee would usually pick up, especially at a time like this. But there was only stillness, and that stillness whispered of trouble ahead.
As the chapter closes, Leia, Xavier, and Santiago stand together, each wrestling with their own tangled emotions, while an unseen shadow hangs over Renee. The unanswered phone calls might mean nothing... or they might mean everything.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
What a stirring chapter! I absolutely loved the raw chemistry between Leia and Xavier—it’s messy, passionate, and unpolished, and those hints of their past relationship make every scene between them so compelling. At the same time, Santiago’s quiet jealousy and longing added so much depth. You can feel his pain as he watches Leia be her true self with someone else. And then there’s that chilling twist at the end: Renee not answering her phone. My heart is already racing, and I couldn't stop reading. This chapter had the perfect balance of romance, tension, and suspense. It deserves a high rating!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars

**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Since Renee isn’t answering Leia’s calls, I think something serious may have happened. Maybe Renee is in a dangerous situation with Stefan, or she’s reached an emotional breaking point and is isolating herself. With Leia’s fierce loyalty, I predict she will drag Xavier and Santiago along to search for Renee—and that search could lead them to a shocking discovery that changes everything.
