"I’ll tell you everything, but first, can I stay here for a few days?" Thalia requested, staring at them with hope in her eyes. She need to stay away from her father.
Xavier and Anastasia glanced at each other before nodding.
She was obviously running away from soone as the bag on her shoulder was proof of evidence.
"Thank you so much," she said when Anastasia gave her a glass of water.
Not sure if this was the perfect ti to ask questions, Anastasia shared a glance with Xavier who gave a simple nod to go ahead.
He was also curious to know what chased her out of her ho.
"What happened?" Anastasia asked.
Thalia wiped the back of her mouth with her hand, taking her deep breath before she parted her lips to speak.
"My father wants to get married to so man," she said which earned her a confused expression from the couple.
"What man?" Anastasia asked with concern laced in her tone.
"I don’t know what man, but he said I can’t refuse. He was so adamant on getting married to so stranger and he also went as far as locking in my room," Thalia explained.
Anastasia was stunned now.
If Mr. Harrison was forcing his daughter to marry so stranger, then that ans that he has a problem sowhere. Perhaps he’s broke and needs financial assistance.
Even so, why would he force Thalia to marry in the first place? He could ask for a loan from the bank.
"I don’t want to marry anyone. At least not now, and even if I wanted to, I want it to be a love marriage."
Anastasia imdiately understood Thalia.
When they were still kids, they would play gas about how they would et the love of their life and how many children they would have.
"It’s alright. I’ll find out what your father is planning, and you can stay here in the anti," Xavier said while Anastasia nodded.
"I’ll have the servant prepare one of the guest rooms for you imdiately—" Anastasia didn’t get the chance to finish her sentence when she suddenly heard a knock on their door.
"Mr. Wallace." Xavier cringed at that na. He still despised being called by that na even though his father was dead now.
That voice belonged to one of their security guards.
He walked towards the door and opened it.
"Sir..."
Xavier’s gaze landed on Mr. Harrison, who was standing outside with his hands in his pockets, a grim expression on his face, obviously not pleased that his daughter had run out of the house and sought shelter in the ho of the woman who ruined his brother’s family.
Mr. Harrison peeked into the corners of the house, imdiately sighting Thalia and Anastasia who held her tightly.
It was obvious that she’d told them everything now, but they couldn’t stop him.
"Thalia, co out now," Mr. Harrison said, completely ignoring Xavier.
"I’m not going anywhere with you," Thalia said, her tone firm. "I told you I don’t want to get married and now, you’re forcing ."
Mr. Harrison was about to insist but Xavier interrupted him.
"I suggest you leave. When Thalia is ready to co back ho to you, then she will," he said.
Mr. Harrison glared at Xavier, rage surging through him but he couldn’t say anything else.
Obviously, with the security guards standing ready for action, he couldn’t simply drag Thalia out of the house and take her with him.
He tore his gaze from Xavier to look at his daughter who was hugging Anastasia like a koala bear, but making even the slightest gesture to co to him.
"I’ll leave you to think about it. But Thalia, I want you to know I would never intentionally put your life in danger," he said.
Thalia didn’t respond. He simply turned and left, looking dejected.
But deep down, this wasn’t good. He didn’t think Thalia would escape until he asked the servant to bring her dinner, only to find out that she’d escaped through the window.
She was close with Anastasia, so that was the first place he thought she would go, and he wasn’t wrong.
That night, after giving Thalia everything that she would need for the night, Anastasia retired to her bedroom where Xavier was waiting for her.
He was reading a book, and once he saw her coming in, he closed it shut.
"How’s she?" He asked.
"She’s alright. But she’s very adamant about not returning. I don’t think she trusts her father very much," Anastasia replied.
Xavier scoffed. "I wouldn’t if I were in her place."
Anastasia could only smile as she rubbed her lotion then slipped under the blankets right after.
Without saying a word, she placed a kiss on Xavier’s lips, soft and tenderly.
She parted her lips and took his bottom lip between her and nibbled on it.
Xavier’s hands went to her waist to pull her closer but she imdiately separated from him.
"Let’s sleep?" She asked with her doe eyes looking at him so lovingly.
Xavier had been trying to control himself for the longest ti possible, and Anastasia wasn’t making things easy for him at all.
Anastasia was about to pull the blankets over her body but Xavier was fast.
He pulled her towards him so fast she was lying on his lap, his hands on her butt.
Her lips parted in shock but Xavier didn’t let her say another word. He captured her lips in a heart-lting kiss, slipping his tongue into her mouth the second she parted her lips further while his hands worked their ways on her butt.
He kissed her like there was no tomorrow. Like she was the breath of life and he needed to have as much as possible.
Anastasia moaned, but he swallowed everything. She could feel his mber growing and she needed it.
He has been holding back for the longest ti, and now, she needed him balls deep inside of her.
