Obsessed with my forced Bride

Chapter 13 // Unasked comfort //

Xavier didn't know what to say. He was speechless and couldn't find any word to express what he was feeling. He was dumbfounded seeing a smiling Valentina in front of him. She was wearing a beautiful peach color knee length dress with long sleeves and a high neck. Her waist length hair was open and went over her shoulder in a wavy way. Few of her hair strands fell on her face that made Xavier crave to put them behind her ear.

Valentina stood there with a wide grin on her face as she expected him to thank her for such delicious food and a hot cup of latte. But what she received was unexpected. Her eyes flew open when she felt a grip on her forearm and was pushed against the table. Her waist hit the table edge making her yelp in pain.

"Aah!!"

She looked up and swallowed a lump of saliva when she saw his raging eyes,

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Xavier asked in a low and angry voice. His nose flared in anger and his grip tightened on her arms.

"I..I...grandpa said to me to come.."

Valentina whispered.

"Knew it!!! That old man can't see me happy for a second. He had to send you."

Xavier said in a bitter tone. But that didn't affect Valentina. She removed his hand from her arms when she saw him getting distracted. Getting this chance she ran away and stood at a safe place, away from him.

Xavier frowned and looked at her. He looked damn hot in his white shirt, his first two buttons undone. His messy hair falling on his forehead and his baby blue eyes void of anything.

"Actually not him. Momma sent me here to take care of you."

Valentina said while fidgeting with her fingers. Xavier didn't like the distance between them. He was about to go near her when she jumped off from her place to another place like a bunny.

"Why are you jumping off like a rabbit?"

Xavier said in an irritated tone. He wanted her near him.

"Let's talk like this. After you get done with your anger then I'll come."

Valentina said. Her heart jumped up and down inside her ribcage.

"God!!! What mess have I put myself into? How will I handle this demon?"

Valentina cried inside her heart but didn't let it reflect on her face as she looked at him through her eyelashes. She opened her eyes wide when she saw him approaching her. Before she could run she fell back on the couch with a smirking Xavier standing near the couch.

Valentina tried to stand up when her hands got pinned above her head with a half hovering Xavier on her. His one knee pressed on the couch and the other one kneeling down on the floor. His face was just a few inches away from her face which made her sweat hard even though the room is perfectly air conditioned.

"Where are you running away, little wifey?"

Xavier asked in a husky voice. If it wasn't for Valentine's love for that chubby boy then she definitely would have fallen in love with her handsome hunk husband.

Xavier was almost distracted by those plump lips which were covered in a nude shade of lipstick.

Xavier got a grip over his emotions and stood up. He didn't spare any glance at Valentina who was finding it difficult to stand again. Xavier offered his hand to her and she stood up while grasping his hand tightly.

"Pack your bags!"

"Huh!!!"

Valentina didn't know if she heard it right. Pack bags??? For what???

"I said pack your bags. You are not gonna stay here. I'm sending you back to the old man."

Saying so, Xavier strode off towards his room on the second floor. Valentina flinched when she heard the sound of the door being closed with a bang. She pouted looking at the plate of food which was untouched. She went towards the table and covered the food with another plate and kept it in the refrigerator.

"Oh s**t!!!!"

Valentina cursed under her breath when the lights went off in the whole villa.

"Grandpa, not this now please!!!!"

Valentina cried out and ran towards the second floor. Skipping two stairs at a time. She reached the room and started knocking on it,

"Mr. Night!!! Open the door!!!!"

Valentina panicked not hearing any words coming from the other side of the closed door. She saw the butler running towards her with a pair of keys in his hand. She hastily took it from his hands and opened the door as quickly as she could. Opening the door she entered inside followed by the butler who was sweating hard knowing the consequences he need to face later on,

"Mr. Night!!"

Valentina called out softly. She once had saw him in such a vulnerable state. Her heart cried out when she saw a shadow crouched down at the furthest corner of the room.

Valentina ran near him and crouched down in front of him.

"Mr. Night!!!"

Valentina called out but got no response. She was about to touch his arms when her wrist was caught by a rough hand and was pulled onto a lap. Valentina gasped when she realized she was in his lap. She stopped moving when his face dipped in the crook of her neck. She felt tears soaking her dress as the grip on her wrist tightened. She felt her heart coming out of her mouth as a tingling sensation formed in the pit of her stomach. She sighed helplessly. She didn't like the idea of using his phobia against him. It was not right. It's wrong. Utterly wrong.

"You could have find some other way, grandpa!!" Valentina sighed as she tried to remove the rough hand from her wrist,

"Mr. Night. I'm here. I'm here."

Vakne whispered sweet nothings in his ears, providing him the unasked comfort.
