Xavier's Obsession
*Excerpt*
“You don't understand, Xavier," I take a step back, “Brandon will find me. He always does. And when he finds me this time, he'll kill you. As much as I want to be free of him, this isn't the way.”
“I'll protect you–”
“You're not listening to me. I'm not worried about me. If he catches us, he'll just punish me but he won't kill me. I'm too important to him. But you…”
My throat closes up as I turn to leave, but Xavier grabs me by the elbow as I push back the door. I turn to look at him, my heart aching for us.
There's a cold indifference in his eyes though, and for the first time ever, I'm scared of what he's capable of.
“We can do this the hard way or the easy way, Audrey. All I know is that I'm not leaving you here.”
