Chapter 30 The Devil's Whisper
"I-I-"

"I already told you that I can read your mind, why do you have to come up with another convoluted excuse like that?"

"That's not what I meant, I just-"

"I can't stop you from falling in love with me. Your feelings are yours and you have every right to them. If you find it hard to be my girlfriend, I can't force you to continue. We can stop now if you want and act like nothing happened between us, okay?"

I fell silent, my feelings even more confused than before. I just wanted to tell him that I wanted to be the only woman in his life.

Xavier pulled my hand away, I was almost crying and trying to hold back my tears so he wouldn't see.

"I already told you that I need you more than anything, right? That's why-"

"I want to be the only woman in your life!" I said firmly. I just didn't want him to be with Renata.

"Then can I be the only man in your life, Layla? What about that Jake you love? Can you leave him for me?"

"I-I can't—"

"You can't? Let's put it this way, if you can break up with him, then I'll break up with Renata. What do you think?" Xavier asked. Xavier knew my weakness, he knew I couldn't leave Jacob, which was the reason I accepted their offer to work here.

I simply couldn't fulfill Xavier's request. I couldn't do anything to fight him.

"I can't! I can't leave Jake, I—"

"I won't leave Renata either as long as you don't break up with her."

"I understand, it was my fault for asking such a stupid thing. I think I should rest now! You should rest too, good night?" I let go of Xavier's hand and left.

I tried to convince myself that I was just being carried away by Xavier's presence. I was just sad and lonely, and he filled the void, making me think I was falling for him.

"Layla...!" Xavier called out to me, forcing me to stop in my tracks. I turned around and saw him still standing there.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you going to leave me here alone?"

"You need to rest too! I'll massage your back tomorrow!"

"Are you leaving me here alone and not taking me with you?"

"You can walk on your own, right? My legs are weak after we did that, so—" Xavier walked over to me and immediately picked me up.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Why are you so surprised? I carried you earlier, too?"

"But in a different position!"

"Do you want me to carry you the same way I did earlier?"

"No need! It'd be embarrassing to do it now!"

"Why is it embarrassing? You looked so happy you were shaking!"

"The situation is different, you idiot! Just put me down! I can still walk!"

"No way! I'll carry you like this, and then we'll take a shower together before bed!"

"Don't be stupid, put me down!"

"I don't want you to leave me like that!" she said. Her eyes looked sad, as if I had hurt her feelings.

"Xavier, I don't—"

"You really don't want me anymore, Layla? You really want to break up with me?" She put on a puppy dog ​​expression that made her look cute and adorable.

"I don't know, I was selfish because I only wanted you to be mine. I'm sorry for that!"

"I'm yours, Layla! I'm yours alone, no one else can have me but you. I'll be your faithful servant and do whatever you want, as long as you keep your promise to grant me one wish when the time comes. Until then, use me however you like."



Xavier got into the tub and asked me to position myself in front of him with my back to him. Xavier hugged me and kissed my shoulder.

"Why are you so quiet? Did I say something wrong again?"

"No, not that, I just wanted to know when you were going to ask me that one very important thing?"

"That's still a while away, but definitely not anytime soon!"

"Will our relationship end right then?"

"I'm not sure if we can continue or not. I can't be certain of the circumstances at that time."

"Is that so? Okay, I understand. But if that time comes and we can no longer be together, I hope I'll lose my memory and forget you."

"Do you want to forget me?"

"Yes, if only that were possible."

"But I won't be able to forget you, and I don't want to either. But if it's you, I think you can do it!"

"Because you're human, and human life is very short," he whispered. I was stunned, my body suddenly immobile. What was happening to me?

"You can be my queen if you want, Layla! But there's something you have to sacrifice first."

I could only listen to Xavier, but I couldn't say anything; my mouth felt sealed shut and my body felt frozen.

"I love your body so much, you're addicted to me. You're far better than Lilith, you're my favorite. So don't ever think I'll let you go."
