Rose because you like that flower and sapphire because they resemble your golden eyes.”
“This is a business deal.” I spoke.
“Hmm, for you yes, but for me it is the best way to get back at Xander...taking his woman and making her mine. Anyways, I have sent my people to pick you up tomorrow so if something chaotic happens don’t worry, I will keep you safe.”
“What business deal?” I turned around only to see Xander behind me. I disconnected the call and looked at the man coldly.
“With the French.” He did not press further and drove us home. It was silent from beginning to the end as he looked at me through the mirror multiple times and I looked outside enjoying the view for the last time.
That night I did not enter the bedroom and rather went up the attic to enjoy the night view of stars sleeping there. Surprisingly I found Xander right beside me when I woke up.
“You don’t need to cook; I have ordered breakfast.”
We ate in silence as I simply scrolled through my phone.
“Where is your ring?” Xander looked at my empty finger and asked.
“I lost it.”
“I will buy you a new one.” When I just hummed without showing any interest, Xander set down his knife and fork, his tone shifting.
