Xavier's Pov. I was awakened by a phone ring tone. Opening my eyes, my eyes scanned the room, searching for the phone. I grabbed the phone that I spotted on the couch and looked at the screen. Unknown Caller. 'Who can this be?' Should I answer or not? 'maybe it's one of her friends' my conscious said to me and I swipe to answer the call. "Hey, Emily!" A voice said over the phone and I immediately knew who it was. Mark. "What do you want?" I asked him in a stern voice. "Oh, M-mr. Stephano....I-I was just c-calling to t-talk to your w-wife" he stammered nervously over the phone. I listened silently to what he had to say but didn't reply. "Mr. Stephano, A-are you there?" He asked after I remained quiet. I finally spoke. "Mr. Erin. Is there by any chance that you are bothering my wife?" "W-what?! No, I-i would n-never do that" he stammered again and I could hear the nervousness in his voice. "I hope so because I won't hesitate to get rid of anything that's in my or my wife's way," I said---well more like threatened him while looking at Emily who was sleeping peacefully. "O-okay" "Anyways, please don't bother ringing my phone this early in the mourning---correction--please don't call 'my' phone again" I lied. "Your phone? Isn't this Emily's?" He asked confused. "No, it's mine" I lied...again. "Oh...I-I'm sorry. I-I thought this w-was her number s-since she's c-changed her number" he apologized and I rolled my eyes at him. "I-l'll be going n-now" he stammered and I hang up. Stronzo! I turned to Emily who's still asleep and pulled her closer to me. "You're mine and mine alone," I said to her even though she's sleeping. ... Mark's Pov. Does he think he can keep her forever? Ha! I'll have her in my hands before this week is up and I can assure you that. Emily is mine. She belongs only to me and no one can take her away not even that asshole Xavier. I'll show him I can get her back. I'll show this entire county that I'm more powerful than him. He may be powerful but I'm smarter. "No you ain't," my conscious said and I growl. Shut up! "Mark~" Rena called and I felt her hands on my arms. Disgusting! I pushed her hands away and she looked at me confused. "Are you having a ruff day baby? Do you want me to help you calm your mind?" She asked while running his fingers on my chest and I pushed her away and squirm. "What's wrong Mark?" She asked trying to touch me. "Don't touch me!" I yelled and her, her face now carry a shock expression. "Did I do something wrong?" She asked. "Let's break up," I said to her and her eyes widen in shock. I had to break up with her so that I can make space for Emily. "What?! Y-you're joking, right?!!" She asked while trying to touch me and I moved away. "I'm not joking Rena. I'm leaving you" I said to her and went upstairs to get my clothes. "Mark!!" She called out while running up the stairs towards me. I took the suitcase she brought for me and throw all my clothes inside before locking it. "Mark! Don't leave me!" She cried. "Leave me alone Rena!" I pushed her away and began to walk downstairs. "Who are you going to?" She asked and I ignored her while I continued to walk down the stairs. "Is it that's bitch Emily?!" She cried out. "don't call her that!"I growl at her while staring hard in her eyes. "You're seriously leaving me for that hoe?! Xavier doesn't deserve her neither do you!" She yelled out and my hands collied with ger face and she fell to the ground. "And you don't deserve me, bitch! I was loyal to you but you cheated on me!" I said to her while tears fell from her face. "......wasn't Emily loyal to you too?" She asked while looking into my eyes. "You cheated on her with me. You said you would marry me. You said---" "Shut up!" I cut her off. "It was just lust. I never loved you and I never will" I said truly to her while tears run down her face. "You're lying!" She shouted and I ignored her while I continue to walk down the stairs. "I-I'm sorry I cheated! I won't do it again!!" She cried out loud. "Nothing will change my mind," I said to her and walked to the door. "MARK!!!" was the last thing I heard before I exit her house for good. I'm never stepping foot in their again. Emily baby....here I come! ... Emily's Pov. I woke up to a very sharp pain in my head. Groaning, I tried to massage my head to let the pain go away but unfortunately, it didn't help. The door was suddenly opened and in came Xavier. His eyes met mine and he walked over to me with a tray in his hands. "You're finally up. I thought I would have to call the doctor" he said to me while placing the tray with food on the table beside me. "What happened?" I asked confused. I don't remember anything from yesterday. All I know was that Abby took me out to a club and we had a few drinks. "You got drunk, talked....a lot and passed out," he said while picking up a glass of water and a tablet. "Drink this," he said and placed it in my hands and I quickly drank it. "What did I talk about?" I found myself asking. Apart from I wanted to know because I was curious and another part of me didn't want to know because I was afraid I said something I'll regret. "Well....you were ranting about me giving you hickeys and smacking you ass" he began and I look at him with a shock expression on my face. I really said that? "You said those things in front of Joshua, Abby and.....Caleb" he continued and my eyes widen. "WHAT?!!?" "Yep, you also said that you're leaving me for Cody Simmons...or whatever his name is" he added and I look away feeling embarrassed. "Let me make something clear gattino...you're never leaving me for anyone" he said while wrapping his arms around my waist while his breath fanned against my neck. "You belong to me." He said against my neck and sent shivers down my spine. "Get it?" I nodded my head and felt my cheeks heat up. "Good. Now eat" he said and took a spoonful of soup before placing it in my mouth. It didn't take long for me to get full and I pushed the bowl away. "I'm full" I mumbled still feeling embarrassed. "You don't have to be embarrassed around me. I actually found you funny last night" he said while graining at me. "But God, you're not ever drinking again. You got me worried this morning" he mumbled the last part.
