She walked towards him and tapped him on the shoulder, making his jolt.


    Richard stared at Michelle, shock evident on his face since he hadn’t heard here in.


    "What do you want this time?" He asked her.


    "Why would you dirty our room like this? Sometimes I feel like I’m living with an animal instead of a human," Michelle spat out of anger.


    Richardbed his messy hair with his hand, sighing.


    "Xavier is downstairs," she informed. Richard sprang out from his gaming seat as soon as he heard Xavier’s name.


    "What is Xavier doing downstairs?" Richard asked her.


    Michelle frowned deeply. "How would I know?" She questioned him. "You’d better behave around him, he might consider giving you a job at the Wacepany so behave," she added, picking out some clothes from the closet before moving to the bathroom.


    Richard slumped on his gaming seat, sighing again.


    "Why does he keeping to this house?" Richard asked himself.


    Richard was extremely scared of Xavier. He was his elder brother after all and thetter had always been harsh on him, only being lenient towards Kace.


    Whenever he was around Xavier, he felt like he couldn’t breathe anymore.


    Sighing again, he stood up from the chair and headed downstairs.


    His eyes nearly popped when he saw <i>Anastasia </i>also, sitting beside his grandma.


    Old Wace had pulled Selene to sit beside her which had Xavier scowl a little.


    He didn’t need to ask her to know she was ignoring him and he was aware it was because of what happened the previous night.


    Richard continued to ogle at Selene. He felt one part of his body growing as he kicked his lips out of lust toward Selene.


    ’What a sexy woman,’ he thought to himself.


    "Xavier," Richard called. "Long time no see," he added, taking a seat beside Xavier.


    "Don’t sit beside me," Xavier said, his tone firm andmanding.


    Richard’s butt which was about to sit on the couch, immediately paused. He didn’t need to be told twice so he quickly moved to another seat.


    Selene could feel Richard’s gaze from the corners of her eyes as he stared at her. It made her feel disgusted and ufortable, especially after all that Richard had done to her in the past.


    Xavier noticed the difort etched on Selene’s face as she tried to maintain a smile for old Wace.


    "Please forgive me for always calling you Anastasia. It’s just that she was a very sweet girl and you remind me of her so much," said old Wace. She ced her hand on Selene’s before she blurted out the next question, "Are you married dear?"


    "W-what? No, of course not grandma. I’m not married," she replied.


    "That’s good because I was hoping you would get married to Xavier," old Wace blurted out again.


    Xavier nearly spat out the water he was drinking. He dropped the ss of water before he stood up.


    "Selene, may I speak with you?" Xavier requested.


    Old Wace’s eyes immediately sparkled in excitement as she stared at her grumpy grandson, thinking he was going to make a move towards Selene.


    Selene excused herself as she followed behind Xavier. She tried to keep up with Xavier’s long stride as he led her outside of the mansion, towards the beautiful garden.


    "Wow," she gasped when she saw the garden. "The garden looks so beautiful."


    Xavier stared at the garden before staring back at her, trying to understand what she was saying.


    "It’s just flowers," he said.


    Selene opened her mouth, trying to find words but immediately closed it back before she would say the wrong thing.


    "What did you want to talk to me about?" She asked instead.


    Xavier’s eyes narrowed at her. "You don’t have to ignore me all day."


    Selene’s cheeks turned warm, blood rushing towards her ears before she looked away.


    "And who says I was ignoring you?"


    "We both know you are, Selene," said Xavier.


    He wasn’t sure what got into him the previous night but he was sure of one thing. He wanted to taste those lips.


    "I don’t know what you are talking about Xavier."


    Selene limped towards the garden so that she could take a better look at it.


    Xavier already knows about what happened at the shoot since Kace had already informed him about it. He followed behind her.


    Xavier nced around, feeling a gaze at his back. Someone was watching him and he had a good idea who it could be.


    He parted his mouth to ask, "Selene, what if I’m in love with you?"
