Wife 77

Chapter 77

The thought of Noelle with some other dude, and maybe even getting cozy with him, set Xavier’s

blood on fire. He could not keep a lid on his temper.

“Who was it? Who was the guy who dropped you off that day?”

Xavier’s grip on Noelle’s wrist was iron–tight as he spat out, “You had the nerve to say Winter and I

did you wrong. Looks to me like you’ve been playing us all along. Noelle, you’re making me sick.”

“That’s a bunch of lies.” Noelle’s wrist was trapped in Xavier’s vice–like hold, and she could not

wriggle free. She tried to pry his fingers off with her other hand, but he was just too strong. “Xavier,

let go! Have you lost your mind?”

“Have I lost my mind? Yes, I’m piss

I camped out at your door for hours, and you called the cops on me. Noelle, do you even have a

heart? Sure, I messed up, but I said I was sorry. I came to check on you because I was worried,

and instead of hearin

me out, you get the police involved and accuse me of

harassment.”

“Wasn’t it harassment?” Noelle snapped, giving Xavier’s arm a hard pinch. “Let go! We’re at work.

Do you want everyone to see this?”

“So what if they see? Everyone already knows what’s going on between us.”

“What’s going on? You’re kidding, right?” Noelle shot back, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “You’re

my brother–in–law, and I’m your sister–in–law. Why put your hands on me in public?”

“Brother–in–law? Noelle, don’t play dumb. You’re still my girl,” Xavier growled, his voice dark. “You

belong

to me.”

“I’m your ex–girlfriend, or have you forgotten? You just got engaged to my sister Winter.” Noelle was

disgusted, especially after his possessive claim. “You’re not trying to get both of us, are you?

Xavier, you’re revolting!”

In a burst of fury, Noelle bit Xavier hard. Yelping in pain, he released her and stumbled back,

clutching the spot she had bitten. “You think I’m disgusting? Look in the mirror! I bet you’ve been

seeing that guy behind my back. What, is he richer than me? He gave you a brand–new Ferrari like

it’s nothing.”

“You…” Noelle was shaking with rage at his audacity.

“I bet you’re only with that guy for his cash. All that talk about loving me was just lies.”

“It was a lie. How could I ever love you?” Noelle scoffed. “You’re a cheater. I don’t need that. I was

blind before, but now my eyes are wide open. You think I’d still be into you after all this? You’re

engaged to Winter, remember? Stick with her since she’s the one who actually loves you.”

Noelle tried to walk away, but Xavier wasn’t having it. He grabbed her from behind, his arms locking

around her waist and his chin resting on her shoulder. “Noelle, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I know

you’re mad, but you’re the one I truly love. My thing with Winter is just business–our families want to

merge empires. You know she’s got a stake in Helios and she’s set to take over. Just wait for me.

Once I marry Winter and secure those shares, I’ll leave her and we can be together. Please wait for

me, okay?”

“Get off me!” Noelle snapped, breaking free from Xavier’s grip and slapping him hard. “Xavier, don’t

push me!”
