All Chapters of Mayor's Addiction: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

In the morning, he dropped me off at the mansion and left for some work himself. I was tired and craved sleep in my own bed, but there were things that needed my attention. All that list stuff has terrorized me. I had promised myself to prevent him from committing any more sins. If he was purposely making those people suffer that it was wrong and before he finds himself strangled in wrong deeds, I needed to save him. I took a long shower of an hour because my mind was still stuck on Xavier and the only thing keeping me calm was the warm water. What if the key is a test? If he is taking another test, then what’s the point of staying together? He has to trust me. With that thought in my mind, I quickly blamed myself for not doing the same. If I trust him, I will give him time to decide when he wants to disclose his past to me. I ended up giving him some time. This back and forth about what I should do had left me hungry.My stomach growled, and that was a hint that I needed to feed it

My head was spinning when I woke up, and my neck was aching badly too. I rubbed my eyes; it took me a few minutes to determine what had actually happened. I quickly sat up in bed and looked around. It was dark. Where the hell was I? Oh, wait, I heard the doorknob being swirled. Someone got inside and locked the door behind him again. It was Jace! ‘’Why?’’ I slowly whispered, shivering inside my skin. I tried to get up, but I was weak. Everything that had happened in the last few hours had left me traumatized. "You will know." Jace came out of the dark, revealing his face as the dim light from the lamp fell on his face. "Why are you doing this to me? What do you want?" I yelled my lungs bleeding, but this only formed a smile on his lips. I was already dealing with a lot, and this was making me go insane. "I want many things from you, but trust me, right now, I want nothing from you." He was more concerned about the surroundings than looking at me. He kept roaming across the room wh

"I have to go; you don’t understand." I kept pleading while Jace rubbed his hands and walked around me nervously. "You can’t," he said, taking a deep breath and wearing a sad face. "Something has happened to my sister, and I need to go there." I grabbed his collar and looked him in the eye. He suddenly stopped walking and stared back into my eyes. "Everything is going to be fine." He reassured me; he knew something. That’s it. He knew everything. "Tell me everything you know, Jace," I was breathing profusely. His hands gently grabbed my arms and pulled me close. "Everything is okay," he said while looking into my eyes. I don’t know if I was searching for something or if he was searching for something in my eyes. "I am scared," I mumbled, taking steps away from him. "You don’t have to be, as long as I am here. Nobody can harm you, Phoenix." I was hugging myself when he uttered those words. How can I trust him after everything he has ever done to me? "You broke that trust a lon

I didn’t sleep for more than thirty minutes. Maybe it was my mind that needed rest. I sat in terror, my breathing was raced and my heart beat like a drum. My sister has been murdered, along with her unborn child. I looked around and found myself in Xavier’s room."You okay?" I heard him coming towards me. He was sitting in a chair in the far corner of the room."I need to go," I finished what I was going to say before he stood straight from his chair and slowly took a few steps toward me."There is nothing left in that home, Phoenix." He carefully murmured, keeping his eyes on me as if he were making sure I didn’t break down into tears again."But I just want to see it, the place where my sister di--" I couldn’t even finish my words and burst into tears again. He hurried toward me and sat very close."Your father is still wanted. We don’t know what he is planning, and I can’t risk it." His voice was calm and very supportive, but I didn’t need any comfort other than seeing the house fo

After Xavier left, it left me stranded with Jace."Are you okay?" Jace’s murmur caught my attention."I don’t know. I am losing everything—my sanity, my energy, and even everyone," I replied, but I didn’t wait for him to say anything. Soon I walked inside the room I woke up in after I thought they had abducted me."I know how it feels." I didn’t realize that Jace had followed me to my room. "The people we love are always the ones giving us pain. Either by leaving us or by breaking us.’’ his words were deep, but somewhere Xavier was going through the same pain and even alone. "I have still not forgotten about your mother, Jace, and after losing my sister today, I intend to give you your family back." I assured him it was strange to talk to him now after so many brutal incidents."I don’t want you to drag yourself into another trouble, Phoenix. You already have too much going on." He gave me a closed-lip smile, and I did the same, but my smile was more fake than his."Why did he abduct
