Chapter 4

Sadie had never treated Xavi well, yet he had always doted on her anyway.

Before I showed up, no one could challenge her position in his life.

I curled my lip, thinking Xavi deserved far better, and couldn't stop myself from shooting her a cold glare.

When I noticed she was still hovering nearby, staring at me, I glared right back.

To my surprise, she didn't retreat at all. Instead, she walked straight over, completely unbothered, and stopped in front of my desk.

The sunlight hit her from behind, outlining her figure like some stubborn little wildflower refusing to wilt.
