CHAPTER 43 (DROWNING IN SORROWS)

XAVIER'S POV

I had walked out on my uncle ignoring his calls for me to come back. I did not have the emotional strength to control the whirlpool of emotions that were swirling inside of me and I knew if I stayed with him a minute longer, I was going to do something I was definitely going to regret.

I barged out of the palace and into my carriage.

"Where to Sir?" My loyal driver asked.

I kept quiet. I did not know where to go. All the people who had been my safe places during times like these have now turned their back on me.

Other times when I felt this way, the first person I used to go to was Abigail but now, that was a no-go area.

I still could not bring myself to believe that after all we had been through, after all the pain we had experienced; that my heart would be ambushed by the one person whom I thought, held it.

I still could not believe that Abigail would come and pay allegiance to the man who had delivered her father's head in a box all because she wanted to get back at me
