Xavier might have gone on a rampage if he had heard the crude comments about his need for drugs.
After Yvette confirmed that Xavier was here, she sent Mark a message.
Mark quickly replied, “We’re on our way.”
Although he was puzzled by the sudden 180-degree turn Yvette had made, the urgency of the situation took priority.
Soon, he arrived with a team and surrounded the entire hotel. Once he had subdued the guards on the upper floor, Yvette was able to go up.
After finding Xavier’s room number, the bodyguards broke down the door. Yvette entered first and immediately saw Xavier coming out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel. Xavier frowned slightly. “Who’s there?”
Yvette assumed that Xavier had just finished with Daphne and was now fresh from the shower. Her hands slightly tightened by her sides in response, her anger rising. Instead of speaking, she stood still and let him worry.
Xavier moved toward the door, calling out in another direction, “Jeremiah?”
Seeing his boss in such a state, Mark wanted to speak but hesitated. The sight of Xavier dressed like this led him to wonder if something intimate had indeed happened with Daphne.
Mark observed that Xavier was uninjured and decided to let the guards stay outside to avoid the couple.
Honestly, if his fiancée had been drugged and had ended up with another man, Mark knew he would have struggled to accept it as well.
Yvette shut the door behind her.
When Xavier heard the door close, he assumed it was indeed Jeremiah. “Do you think that Yvette will leave me just because you do all this? I’m telling you, even if she dies, I won’t let her leave me.” Yvette was momentarily stunned and stopped in her tracks.
Xavier started walking toward her. When the familiar scent of her perfume reached him, his expression changed instantly, and his voice grew hoarse. “Yvvy.”
Yvette was puzzled. “How do you know it’s me?”
Upon hearing her voice, Xavier pulled her into his embrace. “Yvvy… Yvvy…” he repeated her name, holding her tightly. The fire he had managed to douse with cold water surged back to life.

Yvette was uncomfortable with his current state. “Let go of me,” she whispered, trying to free herself.
Despite her protests, Xavier, who
was still under the influence of the drug, refused to release her. His
hands clung to her as he tried to
satiate his needs.
“Yvvy, don’t move…” Xavier pleaded. He had forgotten about Daphne, who’d been bound and left in the bedroom.
When Daphne heard the commotion in the living room, she grew furious. Her eyes were red with anger as she pounded against the walls, creating a loud noise. Yvette’s face hardened upon hearing the noise. “You have a woman in your bed, and yet you’re clinging to me?”
Xavier only remembered that he had
tied Daphne up. “It’s a
misunderstanding, Yvvy.” Holding
Yvette’s hand, he led her to the bedroom, where she saw Daphne
bound and gagged. FindNovel
“What’s going on here?” Yvette asked, surprised.
“She tried to frame me. When the sun rises, the media will expose this,” Xavier explained briefly. “I was drugged. I had no choice but to tie her up.”
Yvette began to understand the situation. “Don’t worry, Mark has taken care of the people outside.”
At that point, Xavier had Mark bring Daphne out and lock her up somewhere. He needed to question her further and make sure she revealed the truth to Yvette.
As Mark led the fully clothed Daphne away, he was impressed by Xavier’s willpower. How did the latter manage to hold it in until now?
“Let’s go to the hospital,” Yvette urged. She was about to leave with Mark when Xavier grabbed her hand and closed the door behind them.
“I’m not going to the hospital,” he rasped.
