Rewriting the love story after traveling into the novel novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 All Debts Settled?

Xavier placed both hands on the wall, caging her in between his arms.

His dark eyes locked onto hers. “Since you’re trying to weasel out of it, let’s settle the score properly.”

Becky stiffened. “What score? I don’t owe you anything. We’re even.”

Finished

A smirk tugged at Xavier’s lips. “If we’re keeping score, weren’t you the one who started it? You slept with me against my will. Fine, what’s done is done–I’ll take responsibility. I’ll marry you.”

Becky snapped back, “Sure, I drugged you, but that’s on you. You had no self–control. I didn’t tie you up or anything”

“Don’t act like I don’t remember. I wanted to stop and get away. You grabbed me and threw me back on the bed. You pounced like a starving wolf.”

That last part she said in a near whisper.

She didn’t like thinking about it, but she remembered.

She had drugged him, then gotten cold feet and tried to leave to call a doctor. But the drug had already kicked in. Before she could even reach the door, he pulled her back.

Xavier let out a slow, dangerous laugh.

Becky shrank her neck.

Fine. No matter how you looked at it–it was her fault. Or rather, the original Becky’s

“Can we just turn the page on this already?”

She was tired of having that night dragged out into the open. It was humiliating.

“Turn the page? Not a chance. We’re not done.”

“What else is there?”

“You demanded a divorce one month into the marriage. Hid your pregnancy from me.”

That made Becky feel guilty.

But she had her reasons.

“Well, that’s on you. After we got married, you treated me like a ghost. You were cold, distant, and kept flirting with Yulia. I

oo hurt to stay.”

She glanced at Xavier, à bit uncertain.

She wasn’t the original Becky—what pain?

Xavier’s expression softened, his eyes laced with guilt

After a long pause, he said. “So you really did resent me.

Hark

“I’m sorry I was wrong. Back then, I didn’t know how to face you I’d always thought of you as a little sister. I never imagined sleeping with you, let alone marrying you. I couldn’t wrap my head around it, and I didn’t know how to be with you But no

it was my fault you got huntTM

“I wasn’t flirting with Yuha. We already broken up”

Berky scoffed. “I was in a car accident and you ignored my calls because you were out shopping with her

Kavni stared at her “You were kind of unreasonable back then I thought you were lying I wasn’t shopping with Vula I

ri a lug I was having lunch with a client. I ran into her afterward

Becky froze. “Yulia lied to me? Why didn’t you explain?”

“You asked for a divorce. I was angry, s0.

So he didn’t bother explaining.

“Fine. Let’s say that doesn’t count. What about when I ran

n into

you at the mall? You can’t deny that one,”

“I was trying to“

Finished

“Trying what?”

“You were about to finish your postpartum confinement. I wanted to buy you a necklace. I ran into Yulia at the store. Then I ran into both of you.”

So it was all a misunderstanding. She had jumped to conclusions. Yulia was the one who kept lingering around.

Honestly, the original Becky had been a bit much after they got married.

She’d pull stunts constantly, calling Xavier dozens of times a day to ask where he was, suffocating him.

He probably got scared and stopped answering.

“Now that everything’s out in the open… I didn’t seek you out because I was heartbroken. I like you. I want to be with you. I

want to marry you.”

Xavier said it all in one breath. His heart clenched, eyes fixed on the girl in front of him.

Her mouth fell open. She looked terrified,

Yes–terrified.

Becky felt her heart pounding like a drum, thumping so hard it hurt..

A shadow fell over her, and then–something soft and cool touched her lips.

Hau

What was Xavier doing?

Her body reacted faster than her brain. She shoved him hard, lifted her knee into his gut, stomped twice on his foot, then

Xavier clutched his stomach just as he heard a loud bang. He turned–Becky was gone. Only the door still trembled from the

He looked down at his shiny black shoes–two perfect dusty footprints marked the tops.

There was still a faint warmth lingering on his lips.

And then he laughed

Berky shot out like a cannonball. Kevin had just exited the elevator and was stunned.

“Ms Quinn, why is your fare so red?”

“It’s hot Berky barked

the dove into the elevator and slammed the button several times.

As the doors closed, her heart was still racing

She leaned her head aguus the mirrored wall and lightly banged it

“Please, just calm down.

The moment the doors opened, she ran out of Glory Corp like her life depended on it

Back in the office, Kevin stepped inside–only to see his boss lightly touching his lips with a dreamy smile on his face.
