Xanthea P.o.v

I hadn't realized when the word flew from my mouth. I didn't want Aria to know about him, however seeing him here means he is up to a devious plan…. To kill me.

Randy and I were once childhood friends, but because our fathers were rivals, we had no choice to turn against each other. Although I never wanted that friendship to end, Randy was always trying to overshadow me in everything… his competitiveness left him jealous and envious over my success which he then swore to bring me down no matter what.

“Why would he want to kill you?” Aria's soft expression pulled from my thoughts.

Shaking my head, I sat down at the slab, looking out at the moon and the snow.

Remeinsnecong, on the words she said earlier. Her cute jealous act made me smile, and an image of her cheeks burning in embarrassment flashed in my memory.

“He just hates me, and as earlier stated, he is looking for ways to bring me down” I said not sparing her any glance, as I tried to shake off her image from my hea

I could tell that Xanthea isn't pleased to see Randy, but what can I do?.I sighed then turned to glance at the streets, the street lights and the bustling city drew me in, coupled with snowflakes.I was still soaked and cold. Sitting beside the window, a hurl of wind breezed through the window making me shudder and I sneezed.“Close the window, you'll only catch more cold” Xanthea said, concern laced in his tone.I rubbed my nose aggressively before cuddling the jacket which Xanthea had earlier given to me.The long stretched silence proceeded for about another hour. While we drove, I sensed Xanthea being absent minded. He had told the driver to go home when we arrived at the party. Saying he'll take care of things.“What are you thinking about?” I began a conversation, breaking the uncomfortable silence between us “Nothing” I said, staring at the road with all seriousness.“Doesn't look like any

    Aria's Pov.Her words were still plunging in my head and I tried grasping what she was saying.“How can Steve know my parents? I thought they were dead. Also, why is Lena so interested in finding my parents? Does it have anything to do with Randy too?” I asked internally trying to connect all the dots, but they were too compelling and overall not leading anywhere.I sipped my orange juice and said “did Lena say any other thing?”Mom poured me a glass of juice replacing the one I had previously gulped. “She didn't. I overheard her talking with someone, but I don't know who it is. However…” she dropped the jug containing Juice and said. “Lena is not as bad as you think. She might be messed up in the head but that doesn't mean she hates you” she paused, staring at me.I averted the gaze and bit my lips, a habit I incorporated ever since this mystery began a few days ago.“I also want her safe. However mingling with Steve is quite…. ludicrous” I said calculating my next step of action.“D

    Aria's pov Tension was still hung in the air as my saviour held Lena's arms. Lena forcefully yanked her hands away from the stranger then turned to him, blocking me from seeing the stranger, I mean my mate.“Who the hell are you?” Lena thuderned at my saviour. I was glad she had finally let go of me, however sad that my clothes got stained and ripped at the same time.“I will not repeat myself. Don't you dare touch her” the man said in a low intimidating tone. I was flat on the floor but tried to get up when I heard. “Or what?” Lena sneered at the stranger.“Who is this person?” I question myself as I poke my head sideways to see his full face, as I tucked my head I was able to get a full face of him. And wow, he looked nothing like I'd expected.He stood around six foot five, has short brown hair that compliments his hunter brown eye. His chiselled jawline looked like he has been meowing since birth and his dressing was very casual. He was wearing a plain shirt with jeans. Just sim

A gentle hand caressing my back reminded me of my savior, his soothing voice making me shiver the more, adding to the nights cold “There, there. You're fine now” The voice said and I turned slowly to him. Wearing a smile, I noticed his dimple going deeper into his face as he smiled the more. He looked around mid 20s, but had a physique if the Greek gods, nothing compared to Xanthea.“Charming, ain't I?” He pulled me from my thoughts. I averted my gaze immediately before saying “thank you” I mumbled.“You're welcome.” He then sat beside me at the jacuzzi Slab. “What were you doing here all alone.
