Xavier’s POV
“Leave me alone,” Veronica said
“I'm not leaving you until you promise not to hurt her,” I replied, holding her hands tightly.
“I can't promise you that,” she struggled to break free.
“If that's the case, then you leave me with no other choice,” she said, pulling out a gun.
“What are you going to do with that?” I asked, surprised.
“Leave me alone, Xavier, leave me alone,” she pleaded, but I couldn't let go. Instead, I tightened my grip on her hands.
Before I could finish my sentence, a loud sound echoed. She had shot my hands, and I immediately released her.
As she walked towards the door, it swung open, and Aria ran towards me in fear.
“Well, well, look who we have here,” Veronica laughed.
“Don't you dare touch her, Veronica. Don't you dare,” I shouted.
