Escape

Xavier's P.O.V. We reached our bedroom. I looked at Rose and saw that she was in a deep sleep. I smiled and placed her on the bed gently. I looked at her. Soft pink lips, long nose, sharp jawline, fair milky skin, and delicate body. She was looking gorgeous. I removed her necklace, tiara, and other ornaments softly. Then I removed her sandals and covered her with the duvet. I pecked her lips softly and then headed to the washroom to change my clothes. I changed into a simple white tee and black shorts. I lay beside my sweetheart, placing her head on my chest and wrapping her fragile body in my arms tightly. Soon, I drifted into dreamland. End of Xavier's P.O.V. ~Time skip At 2:00 a.m. Rosaline's P.O.V. I opened my eyes slowly. Xavier was lying next to me. His hands were on my waist, holding me tightly. I tried shaking him up a little to check whether he was asleep or not. He didn’t wake up, which means he was in deep sleep. Thank God!!! I slowly removed his hand and got up. I put a pillow under his hand so that he wouldn't have any suspicion. My phone? I immediately ran away from his room to the room where he killed Nick because there, I had used my phone last. I need to call my Mom and Dad now to help me escape this hell. I got inside the room and started searching. I checked all the drawers and cupboards hastily, but I couldn't find it anywhere. "Where the hell is it?" I stood there recalling where I kept it the last time, but all of a sudden, a hand came in front of me from the back holding my phone. My eyes sparkled in joy. "Thank God I fou-" I froze. My breath hitched as soon as I saw… 'His bracelet' Xavier? I started trembling in fear and shock. Xavier leaned forward; his hot breath fanned my ear as he spoke in a husky voice. "Looking for this, love?" Rosaline’s P.O.V. “Looking for this, love?" Xavier said, his voice strangely calm. I gulped in fear. ‘No, Rosaline, stay strong, my conscience encouraged me. I inhaled a sharp breath and turned around. I looked in his eyes and spoke sternly, “How did you have my phone?” Xavier raised an eyebrow and stared at me back intensely. I won’t get scared of him no matter what. I can’t spend the rest of my life with a murderer. He opened his mouth to say something, but I immediately snatched my phone from his hand and practically ran out of the room. I went back to our shared bedroom. Xavier just followed me behind quietly. I headed to the closet and took out my nightgown. I went inside the washroom while clutching my phone tightly in my hand. Xavier was just watching me silently the whole time with his hawk-like eyes. I frowned. ‘Why is he so calm?’ I shrugged it off, as I don’t have time to decipher his quirky behaviour. I immediately shut the door and locked it. I immediately dialled my Dad’s no. ~OTP *Ring Ring* “Dad, pick up please”, I bit my lower lip as I was a nervous wreck at that moment. After a few rings, the call ended. I huffed in anger. “He must be sleeping, i***t. Who would be awake at this hour of the night? I should call Mark”, I quickly called him. Mark was my friend and Nick’s partner. He also worked in the Intelligence Agency. ~OTP “Hello” “Mark, it’s me, Rosa” “Oh my God, Rosa! How are you and where are you?” Mark spoke in a worried tone, but I immediately cut him off. “Mark, please help me. Xavier killed Nick. He forcefully married me while threatening to harm my parents. I am very scared, please...” I couldn’t control it anymore and broke down in tears. I clasped my mouth with my palm tightly so that Xavier couldn’t hear. “He-hey, don’t cry, Rosa. Listen to me now. I have a plan. Tomorrow you will take Xavier along with you to Starbucks. My entire team and I will be there. Just make an excuse somehow and get away from his eagle eyes for a few minutes. I will immediately take you away from there and then escort you to the airport safely. Then you’ll board a flight for Paris and immediately leave America. Got it? “he explained to me his whole plan. “Alright, but what about Xavier?” I asked him in a shaking voice. “Don’t worry about him. Just do as I say”, he assured me. “Okay, bye Mark, I should hang up now” “Bye, Cutie. Take care,” he spoke softly. I ended the call. I sighed in relief. Finally, I will be able to leave this hell. A small smile formed on my lips. I wiped my tears and turned around. I froze in my spot. The phone fell from my hand and hit the shining white tiles with a loud thud. I started sweating badly, and my body started shaking in fear. There stood the Devil in front of me, whom I despise the most right now. Xavier was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed on his chest as he stared at me with his intimidating eyes. My throat turned parched. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. “Done changing love?", he rasped. I looked at him in shock and confusion. “WHAT THE- HOW DID YOU GET INSIDE?", I yelled fiercely. Xavier didn’t reply to me. His gaze eventually dropped to the floor as he looked at my phone with scrutinising eyes. He then looked at me and started approaching me. I panicked. I looked everywhere and found a glass bottle of shower gel. I smashed it with full force on the bathtub. It shattered into pieces. I bent down and quickly grabbed a piece of glass from the floor. “DON’T COME NEAR ME”, I screamed while pointing the glass at him. My heart was beating at an irregular rate. Xavier stopped dead in his tracks. But everything happened in the blink of an eye.
