24) Why?

Authors pov

Sarah stood there stunned as she saw crowd clicking their pictures and taking videos. She wanted to

keep it secret so she can take divorce and get rid of this relationship but he ruined everything.

"Mr. King is it true that you both got secretly married?"

One of the reporter questioned.

Sarah stiffened in her place when Xavier wrapped hand around her waist and pulled her closer.

"Yes, we are married... I like to keep my life Private so we didn't declared it till now..."

He answered enjoying Sarah's bothered reaction.

"Is it true that you were supposed to marry Natasha Rosewood... What was the reason to change the

bride at last moment..."

Someone asked from the crowd.

"No it's not true, Sarah and I was in relationship and then we decided to get married. There was no one

between us..."

He replied confidently.

"Isn't it baby?"

He looked down at Sarah and Smirked. Sarah frowned at him thinking how can this man lie so fluently.

She doesn't even know his full name let alone be in relationship with him. Not wanting to create a

scene in front of media she nodded with forced smile.

After lying to few more questions he opened the car door for her and she sat inside.

Sarah grabbed her head in disbelief.

"Why would you do that... You know there is nothing between us. We are not husband and wife then

why..."

She asked as Xavier sat beside her in his limo. He closed the partition between them and the driver.

"We are husband and wife!..."

He declared looking at her with hard expressions and it was making her feel unsafe with him. It was like

he will hurt her and Sarah wasn't ready for that.

"Only on papers... There is nothing like husband and wife between us then what's the use of declaring

it in front of the world. What you want to prove."

She asked hesitatingly.

"I don't care and I am not answerable to you..."

He spat and looked away.

Sarah closed her eyes and sighed frustratingly.

'what the fuck is wrong with this man.

She looked at her reflection in the tinted window and her eyes widened. Her lipstick was Smudged at

the corner of her lips. She quickly took out the tissue from her purse and fixed it. She touched her lips

with her fingers as she could still feel his Dominating lips there. His touch felt so familiar but still she

couldn't recognize it.

She saw Xavier looking at her with unknown gaze through tinted window, his eyes were speaking

something which was totally foreign languages for her.

Xavier tried to make himself understand that she is right, there is nothing like husband and wife

between them but his heart wasn't ready to listen. Seeing her sitting in front of him with his ring on her

finger was awaking weird feeling inside him. The thought of her having his last name was making him

smile and proud.

He was in total confusion. His heart was telling him to embrace her and this time don't let her go but

mind was screaming not to go back to that way again.

He has no idea what took over him all of a sudden and why he did that. He had no intention to declare

her as his wife but he felt jealous and protective over her when he saw her with Massimo. And the way

she was claiming that they don't have anything to do with each other was fueling his desires to do

something to prove her wrong.

The driver pulled in front of the mansion and Sarah quickly get out of the car. She called William to

inform him that she is home and so don't wait for her.

Sarah went to the washroom and freshen up. When she came back Xavier was not there. Thinking he

doesn't sleep on the bed she went to her side and slept after taking her medicines.

Sarah was about to fell asleep but she felt the bed beside her deep and turned around. She found

shirtless Xavier lying beside her. She gasped and sat up.

"What are you doing here?"

She asked frowning.

"This is my room and my fucking bed..."

He replied lazily while placing his arm over his eyes like he doesn't care about her reaction.

Sarah looked at him flabbergasted but he was right it's his bed.

"Okay... I'll sleep on the couch then.."

She mumbled and was about to stand but he looked at her mockingly.

"Why?"

He asked and she frowned.

"What do you mean by why... We can't sleep together..."

"Why... Do you think I'll do something to you..."

He raised his eyebrows.

"Well, I don't trust you... You kissed me in front of everyone..."

She accused.

He scoffed.

"I am not interested in you, I like slim girls. It was to show people, it doesn't mean anything. I just

wanted to break your bubble of 'no one knows'..."

"But why"

She looked at him madly but her head was heavy as medicine kicked in.

"Because I can... Now shut your mouth and sleep. I am tired... I have no interest in touching you..."

He scowled turning around and closed his eyes.

Sarah scowled at his behavior. She stood up and went towards the couch but it was too cold like it's

wet. It will be hard to sleep on it in cold night. She didn't wanted to sleep beside him, she doesn't trust

him.

Her eyes were automatically closing due to medicines. She decided to sleep in guest room and was

about to leave but she heard Xavier's voice and halted in her place.

"I brought you in my room for a reason Sarah... I am not fool, step out of the room and you won't like

the consequences. This is my house and keep it in my mind that no one will question me if I do

something to you, not even your father. I think you are smart enough to know that he doesn't give a

fuck about you. So don't fucking try my patience and go to sleep..."

He threatened her with hard expressions.

Sarah gulped nervously, she has seen him killing people and no doubt that he can do anything to her.

But what made her throat tightened that now he too knows that her father doesn't give a fuck about her.

Her face turned red with embarrassment and she walked towards the bed quietly, tears threatened to

fall but she didn't let them. It was a very sensitive topic for her.

Why everyone needs to remind her that she has no support or someone who loves her.

She tucked herself under the bed sheet and closed her eyes. Soon she fell into deep slumber.

Xavier was wide awake, he turned towards her and saw her T-shirt riding up and showing her waist.

'why did you left me and my love... Look where you are now.'

His hands were etching to touch her, it was a complete lie when he said that he has no intention to

touch her, in reality it was total opposite. She is the only girl whom he desires in the world. His hand

involuntarily went towards her bare skin. He gently caressed her cold skin and quickly pulled her tshirt

down when he realized what he is doing. He closed his eyes frustratingly retrieving his hand back.

'Stop it Xavier... What the fuck are you doing.'

He still have no idea that why he made her sleep beside him.

He was about to leave the bed but at the same time Sarah turned around and grabbed on his warm

arm in sleep. He stiffened at familiar gentle touch which flashed thousands of good memories.

Xavier tried to remove her hand but she snuggled closer to the warmth making him unable to move. He

sighed and stayed there silently looking at her.

He frowned when he saw her mumbling something in her sleep, he looked at her shocked when tear

slide down her cheek and she started trembling.

"Sarah..."

He patted her cheek gently but she didn't wake up. He understood that she is having nightmare, it

wasn't his first time witnessing it. Unknowingly he has showed her many things which she shouldn't

have. He knows how much she hates and fears blood.

"it's ok... I am here..."

He stroked her head. Sarah placed her head on his arm and he didn't resist her this time. He pulled her

in his embrace and rubbed her back gently.

"It's ok... You are fine..."

He held her close whole night and she slept peacefully in his embrace. After years this is the first time

when Xavier didn't drink to sleep. Her gentle touch and scent was enough to intoxicate him.

It was morning when Sarah woke up on hard but warm surface. She opened her heavy eyelids and

Sighed. She tried to move but couldn't and froze in her place when she saw large hand wrapped

around her waist, she slowly looked up and found Xavier looking at her blankly.

She gasped and quickly pulled away from his hold with horrified expressions.

Xavier sat up holding his numb hand.

"Fuck..."

He cursed stretching his arm.

"What are you... Fucking koala?..."

"I am sorry... Why didn't you wake me up?..."

she asked embarrassed and feeling sorry for his arm, she is heavy.

'because it felt good'

He thought.

"I did but only if you could listen... Were you high last night?..."

He frowned making her gulp.

Sarah looked at him nervously, she knows that it was because of medicines.

"I am sorry..."

She mumbled and hurriedly walked towards the bathroom. She slammed the door shut and panicked.

"God! Was I clinging to him whole night..."

She grabbed her head in disbelief.

She calmed herself down and started getting ready for the office. When she walked out of the closet

Xavier wasn't there. She head downstairs towards the dining hall.

"Good morning Ace..."

Sarah greeted but she couldn't found Xavier anywhere. She couldn't understand why her eyes

involuntarily searching for him.

"Good morning Sarah..."

Ace chirped.

"Looks like you guys had a blast last night. You are all over the news..."

He teased.

Sarah sighed, it wasn't surprising after all they have gave live show to everyone. Ace gave her magzine

which had a article about them.

"See, I told you that Xavier will change..."

Ace said happily and Sarah forced a smile. She had no energy to explain him the situation.

"Xavier had to leave for abroad due to emergency... If you are looking for him?..."

He said and she cleared her throat.

"I should leave now..."

She said standing up. Why would she care if he had to leave or not. But the way she woke up in the

morning was so blissful. His warmth was still lingering on her body. It felt so good to wake in someone's © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

gentle embrace.

Shaking her thoughts aside. She went to her office.

She found some envelope on the table and opened it. Her heart skipped a bit when she saw divorce

papers.
