All Chapters of Resisting Xavier: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Maya hoped that Melissa couldn't hear how traitorous and rushed her sentences were as she made arrangements to meet with her.    She told herself she was doing nothing wrong and just reuniting two siblings together again and again even as she agreed to meet Melissa at the Grand opening of the famous "Luca" daughter branch.    "So?" Xavier asked as she cut the call, turning to meet his curious face.    She beamed, "She made reservations at the Luca. Table 15. She agreed to meet me but we both know she'll be meeting you rather and warning alert: Her fiance will be there." She glared warningly at Xavier, "Mess this up and don't come back asking for my help,"    "Cross my heart," he solemnly promised, "I've just one request though, can you show up at the opening first before Melissa sees my face. Just smooth the edges over."    "Xavie

"Hello," Xavier muttered angry that he approached his sister like some stranger and not her big brother.    Her eyes flashed with realization as her hold on her wineglass tightened, "I should have known your fiancée will sell me out even with her reassuring, I respect your decision phrase,"     Xavier's gaze flickered to Brian's form as he took in his overly gelled hair which made him think of a man striking poses in his briefs every morning. He won't want to mention names to avoid being kicked out of the table.    Instead, he stretched his arms out to the vain man in front of him, still searching for what his sister saw in him anyway, and with a satisfied smirk watch the awe in his eyes at the gesture.    "I'm the Xavier Salvador. Nice to meet you," Brian met his shake enthusiastically while Melissa watched the exchange with a sardonic smile.

Maya's eyes fluttered open with a sigh, she couldn't remember getting to her room after going in-depth about her life, something she dreaded to do had come so naturally to her with Xavier.    Xavier? He must have been the one to tuck her into bed after cocooning her in his warmth and allowing her to inhale the unique manly scent that made her feel secure, not alone.   She raised her brow as she saw a brewing cup of coffee next to her lamplight. He had just stepped out of her room not too long ago she noted.    A pink paper caught her eyes, it was underneath the coffee cup. "Hope you slept well and your dreams were as perfect as I look. Because I can't take anything less."     She shook her head at his cheekiness, knowing that anything less will make her suspicious it wasn't him despite the familiar Beautiful cursive writing.    Sh

Maya closed her laptop with a sigh, done pretending to herself that a Marathon of Never have I ever, will take her mind off Xavier. It was no use as the replay of what had happened in the kitchen kept making a return in her head, without her own volition.   She heard the revving of an engine, making her sigh in relief. Finally, Xavier was gone, she'll be able to leave her room now without the risk of running into him and hearing him try to pacify her with lies.    God, her face should as well be uploaded to the word pathetic in the dictionary. Just remembering the pity in his eyes as he had looked at her made her tummy remain in knots.    He had looked at her like she would a homeless wet dog. Like he was scared she might just slit her wrist or do something even nastier if she didn't get some kind of cooked-up validation from him.    Her tummy rumbled, she checked t

No, that'll not happen. I won't let Maya be exposed to such Ever." Xavier glared at the man who'd suggested something so outrageous and satisfied with how hard he'd gulped in fear, he tucked his hand into his pocket about walking out when he saw Maya.   Her hair was disheveled. She was just waking up from sleep. She was barefooted which explained why they had not heard her come in.   "What won't you let me be exposed to?" Her voice was tiny and her eyes wide.   Seeing Xavier in such a mood was not really a new sight but knowing he was this riled up because of something that was connected to her, was a whole new foreign land.   A land she was scared of exploring and figuring out. So she'd allowed it to remain a patch of just green grass and dirt in her head.   "Maya, you are up?"   His Rolex shiny watch caught her eyes and then she took in his white shirt, tucked into grey pant
