“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.
“You wanted to go on a movie date, how about I take you out today?” I initially wanted to stay in, yet I nodded as I remembered how Xander would force me if I dared to refuse..
My going out would give a chance to Mikhail to take me away eitherways.
When we arrived at the theater, Xander wanted to book the entire floor so we could get privacy yet there was no need, thus I shrugged and opted for a horror movie.
Earlier I preferred romance while I was with Xander because it felt like a couple’s thing yet today, I just enjoyed myself.
Xander must've noticed that during the entire movie not once did it felt like a date, I did not look at him or even talk to him during the interval.
"Do you want to go to your favorite diner after this?"
“No, I am good.” His lips pressed into a thin line as he felt I made no effort.
“Alright then!”
Without a word to me, he stood up and walked out of the theater and I only made my exit when I had watched the entire movie.
"Xander see, does it look cute?" I walked out to hear the honey sweet voice of Diana who clutched Xander’s arm as she practically hugged him while showing off her new earrings.
“Cute.” The man said one word and Diana went on her tiptoes kissing his cheek shyly.
