My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 54

Another Invitation
“Like I said earlier, Ana. I will punish anyone who hurts you. You don’t need to be scared. You are mine and I will protect you no matter what.”

“And why is that? Because I’m your wife? We are not even in love with each other, Xavier and you don’t need to do all of that. After getting my revenge on the Harrison family, I’m going to divorce you,” said Selene, her emotions getting the better of her.

“We are never getting a divorce. You are already my wife and you will continue to be my wife,” he responded.

Anastasia stared at Xavier, not sure of what to say to him again.

“Let me go, Xavier,” she ordered.

“I will only let you go if you promise to stay in my room.”

Anastasia narrowed her eyes at him, taking in his imposing figure. He was bigger and much stronger than she was. Now that they were so close, she had to strain her neck to look up at his face. From the look in his eyes, it was clear he wouldn’t let her go until she did what he wanted.

“Alright,” she agreed.

Xavier released her, giving her the space she had asked for. Yet, as soon as he did, she felt a pang of emptiness and a chill without his warmth. She craved his presence, feeling cold and incomplete without him close.

“It’s already two in the morning,” Xavier said, his voice firm but gentle. “You’re not going to the set today. I’ll ask Director Jeunes to give you the day off so you can rest properly. If you need more time to recover, just let me know and I’ll inform him.”

Selene immediately shook her head, objecting to it. “The rest of today is okay. The movie has been delayed for a week already due to the rumor, and we are already halfway through. Thank you,” she said, her head lowered.

Xavier sighed.

‘How many times do I have to tell her to stop telling me thank you?’ He wondered, pinking the bridge of his nose before nodding.

“Alright, you can have a shower while I get your food ready,” he said. He waited to get a response from her. When she nodded, he left to go to the kitchen.

When Selene heard the door close shut, she closed her eyes, trying to forget what had happened in the room. Especially the kiss.

Subconsciously, she moved her fingers to her lips, still feeling the softness of his lips pressed on hers as he ravaged her.

“He’s such a good kisser,” she mumbled. When she heard what she’d said, she quickly slapped herself on the forehead. “What are you thinking, Ana? Is the kiss a mistake? He’s still my husband after all,” she wondered.

When she realized she wasn’t going to get her question answered since there was no one else there apart from her, she sighed before heading to the bathroom.

When she saw his bathroom, she instantly mistook it to be another bedroom.

“His wealthy lifestyle never fails to surprise me,” she mumbled. Quickly, she took a shower. Surprisingly, he already had a spare of everything. From a toothbrush to a towel to a loofah and then soap. He seemed he already knew she was going to agree to stay the night in his room.

After taking a shower, Selene realized she had forgotten to take clothes from her room first. Sighing, she decided to open Xavier’s closet to pick out a shirt.

‘Since he gave me his shirt earlier, I don’t think he will mind if I take another,’ she thought before picking out a black shirt. After wearing it, she seemed to have disappeared.

Xavier came back with a tray of food.

When he saw her wearing his clothes, a smile stretched on his lips. Together, they ate late dinner/early breakfast.

When it was finally time to go to bed, Selene didn’t know if she was going to sleep on the couch or the bed.

Xavier insisted she slept on the bed with a promise he wasn’t going to touch her.

Xavier lay on the bed, his eyes on her while Selene’s eyes were roaming about.

“Ana,” Xavier called her by her real name, gaining her attention. “When you are ready to tell me about everything, I’m right here to lend ears to listen and a shoulder to cry on.”

“Nothing happened. I’ve already told you everything you needed to know,” she responded.

Xavier could sense it was a sensitive topic so he decided to drop it and wait for her to open up to him instead.

He waited until Selene slept before he slept as well.

The next day, Selene woke up to find herself in an unfamiliar room. When she was about to get up, she felt a strong hand wrapped around her waist. That was when she remembered she was in Xavier’s room and it was his hand that was wrapped around her waist.

Selene was about to sneak away when she heard a deep voice from behind her.

“Good morning.”

She thought her soul had left her body at that moment because she didn’t feel anything else, except how his chest which she was pressed to vibrated.

She blushed, biting her lips before she replied, “Good morning.”

“How was your night?” He asked, staring at her face that looked flushed. “Did you sleep well?”

Selene nodded because it was the truth. It had been a while since she had a peaceful sleep without having a nightmare.

“I did.”

Xavier pulled her closer to him, even though there was no more space she could occupy. Selene’s heart skipped a beat, caught off guard by his actions.

Xavier opened his mouth, about to say something but Selene’s phone ringing interrupted him.

Selene reached for her phone quickly, thinking it was the director but the caller was Michelle.

She shared a look with Xavier before picking up the call.

The both of them exchanged a few words. Michelle said something over the phone which had Selene widen her eyes slightly as a smirk pulled on her lips.

Hanging up on the call, she turned to Xavier and said, “She’s inviting me to the Harrison mansion again.”
