Sarah looked at him with sad face.
"Don't you remember anything about last night?"
Xavier sighed and threw his head back tiredly.
"No!... Why?"
"Umm... Nothing, I'll call the doctor..."
She said leaving the ward. She closed the door behind and grabbed her head in disbelief.
"Every fucking single time this Motherfucking life has to disappoint me... Every fucking time!"
She said frustratingly.
She called the doctor and he came for a checkup.
"When will this shit be out of my hand..."
Xavier asked irritatingly looking at the arm support.
"Hardly one week until we cut the stitches..."
Doctor replied.
"Is he okay now?"
Sarah asked him and Xavier looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Yes, perfectly fine now..."
He looked at her and smiled.
"You have got a very loving wife Xavier... She was looking after you whole night..."
He said and Xavier looked at Sarah surprised. He wasn't expecting this.
The doctor went out and Sarah followed him.
"Doctor?"
She called him and looked at her.
"You can call me Ash... I am Xavier's friend..."
He said giving her friendly smile.
"Okay... Actually Xavier woke up last night and we had a conversation but when I asked him about it in
the morning, he doesn't remember anything... Can you please tell me what's happening?"
She asked sadly.
"Ohh, he woke up?... Actually it's normal, he was under the effect of drug. He might have talked to you
but he won't remember anything because he was not in his senses... There is no need to worry..."
He explained.
Sarah nodded with smile and he left. She went back and saw Xavier looking at her with scrutinizing
gaze.
"Why you were here all night?... Where is Ace?"
He asked with Stern gaze.
Sarah looked at him blankly, what should she say, that 'I am here because I love you and wanted to be
with you' he will definitely laugh at her.
"Ace has to take care of some things and he said mansion is not safe as you are injured and we can
get attacked any time so I stayed here with you..."
She lied.
Xavier nodded and stood up.
"Where are you going?"
She asked confused.
"Home"
He replied in a obvious tone.
"But you haven't recovered yet"
She said looking at his stupidity.
"And why do you care?"
He snapped at her.
"Because I___"
She stopped before she could spill her truth.
"Because I am your wife and you are my responsibility..."
She said confidently.
Xavier rolled his eyes.
"Why do I even bother to think that you care..."
He mumbled which she couldn't hear it properly.
Sarah told him not to go home at least one more day but he wasn't ready to listen so doctors gave her
instructions how to take of him and gave him discharge.
When they reached home Sarah went for a shower, her whole body was sour after sleeping on the tiny
couch. She took her shower and wore her robe.
"What the fuck are you doing?"
She heard mad Xavier, he was yelling at someone.
Sarah quickly went outside and saw a maid crying with sponge in her hand. She was giving him
sponge bath. Xavier was feeling sticky and dirty so ordered maid to help him but she was so terrified of
him that she was constantly doing mistakes and it was irritating to him.
"Get out!"
He growled at her and she literally ran out of the room.
He cursed standing up and took out his arm support and walked towards the washroom. Sarah looked
at him with wide eyes and quickly followed him in the washroom.
"What are you doing?"
"Get out"
He ordered not even looking at her.
"Okay but what are you doing?"
She asked again with frown.
"I am taking shower and what's your problem..."
He said annoyed. Doctor did informed her that he might behave like this so she wasn't surprised.
"But you can't take shower, if your wound gets wet then it will get infected..."
She stated.
"If you want to take bath then I can help..."
He looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"You?"
She nodded.
"Yes, I mean we have done more than this it shouldn't bother you..."
She shrugged.
"I just want to help, you have done so much for me that's why..."
"Fine, if you want to then do it..."
He said and she smiled.
'doesn't want to accept that he needs my help... handsome monster'
Sarah wrapped a cast cover around his arm so it won't get wet. Xavier looked at her as did everything
for him. He has no idea how should he feel right now but it was making him feel good.
Sarah looked at his pants and then to him.
"We need to take it off..."
She said awkwardly.
"Go ahead then"
He smirked at her.
Her cheeks turned red as she tucked his pants down from his waist. It was not like she is seeing
something new but it was still making her feel excited and weird.
Xavier stepped out of his pants and stood in front of her naked. Sarah was blushing furiously looking at
him. She poured the body wash on her palm and started rubbing his chest and left arm which wasn't
injured.
Xavier stood there calmly but her each and every touch was making him feel like heaven. He wanted to
have her right there but it wasn't the right time. He can see her enjoying her work. The way she was
touching him it was obvious that she has the same thing in her mind.
Sarah slowly explored his all body and finally it was time to clean down there. She looked at him
nervously.
"Don't touch it... Otherwise it's fixed that I am breaking my stitches..."
He said and she bit her lips stopping herself from blushing.
She knows that once he lose his control then he won't stop and it's not good for his health right now.
She washed his body gently not wanting to hurt him.
Xavier rested his arm on her shoulder while she was helping him to wear shirt. Her eyes fell on small
fresh cuts on his chest and her face fell.
"I am sorry"
She mumbled looking at him.
Xavier looked at her with frown.
"What for?"
"This happened because of me... If you weren't have killed John because of me then his son wouldn't
have attacked you."
She said.
"Bullshit... He would have attacked me anyway, it's not your fault... Don't think too much..."
He said looking at her with soft eyes.
Sarah gently touched his cuts.
"I was so scared last night... I thought I lost you..."
She confessed.
Xavier's heart skipped a beat for a second listening her words.
"Why?..."
"Because I care for you... Believe it or not I really do..."
She said looking at him.
He scoffed turning around from her.
"Aren't you forced in this marriage... And I am the unwanted husband..."
He said while wearing his arm support. He really has no energy to bring back the past and argue over it
but couldn't stop himself from questioning her.
She looked at him sadly. He wasn't saying anything wrong but how should she tell him that he isn't
unwanted anymore, she love him.
"May be I have changed my mind... You are not the person I thought you were..."
She confessed.
"Or may be I am worst than that..."
He chuckled mockingly.
'Then why I can't see anything bad in you anymore...'
She thought to herself.
"Sir?... Your lunch is here..."
They both heard maid.
She placed the food there and left. Sarah gave him his soup and sat on the couch while eating her
lunch.
She couldn't control herself from Stealing glancing at him. He was focused on his food and she was
admiring his every move.
Her whole day went like that, admiring him and looking at him like lost puppy. Xavier was well aware of
her stares but didn't confront her. He knows that she is weird, she was like that since college and that's
what he liked the most about her. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
It was late evening when he finally placed his laptop aside and looked at him to found her staring at him
with smile.
"If you are done boring holes in me then can you arrange dinner, I am hungry..."
He said and she snapped out of her thoughts.
She looked away embarrassed.
"Yeah, I'll do that... I am sorry..."
She bit her tongue mentally slapping herself.
'why you have to make it so obvious...'
She Scolded herself and ordered maids to bring their dinner.
"Can I help you?"
She said when she saw him struggling to eat.
"And why would you?"
He looked at her and raised his eyebrows.
"Because I can..."
She said his most used words.
Xavier chuckled as she mimicked him and it made her smile too.
"You look beautiful when you smile..."
She said in daze.
He looked at her with charming smile.
"Are you making fun of me..."
He asked in playful threatening tone.
"No! How dare I..."
She smiled naughtily while taking the spoon from him.
Xavier shook his head chuckling and she started feeding him.
Her heart was finally feeling at rest as things were taking good turn. He wasn't behaving irritated or
mad anymore. Things has became more normal and casual between them. They were getting
comfortable in each other's company.
Suddenly they heard knock on the door and Ace came in.
"Sorry to disturb you guys but Peter Is here..."
He declared.
"Why?"
Xavier scowled and Sarah tensed. Her father never fails to create problems in her life.
"We broke the alliance and now he is here to take Sarah with him..."
Ace informed and Sarah's face went pale.
