Chapter 27

Xander’s phone started to ring as soon as he pulled over at the parking lot of the tall hotel building.

“Nick” was written on the screen of his phone, so he swiped the answer button Immediately and held it to his ear.

“Are you there yet?”

“Yes, boss. Where should I take the car?” Nick’s voice sounded from the other end, and he glanced over to Summer who was still deeply asleep.

*Bring the car to the hotel down the street, Park it at the parking lot when you come, and hand the keys to the receptionist,”

“Yes, boss.” The call disconnected immediately, and he sighed.

Xander couldn’t hide his excitement as he looked at Summer with a smile on his face.

“She’s cute,” he found himself admitting

The sound of the knock on the car door caught his attention, and a blurry figure was towering over his side mirror when he looked in the direction. Slowly, he wined down the glass, revealing a man in his forties.

“Is there a problem, Sir? You’ve been parked for some time now and not leaving the car,” From the way the young man was dressed, Xander die to be told that he was a security guard.

“Oh… Not really. Thank you,” He smiled at the man weirdly who slowly nodded before leaving.

He removed his seatbelt, alighted from the car, and walked over to the other side to help her out.

He could’ve driven her home from the restaurant, but she needed some rest, so hethought it wise to take her to the nearest hotel which was just down

the street, not far from the restaurant.

‘There is only one room available with just a single bed. Are you going to take it like that?” The receptionist had said to Xander when he tried to check in.

‘I will take the room’ You weren’t expecting him to reject it when he wanted this opportunity so badly, right?

“Make use of the telephone if you need anything. Sir,” The young beautiful slim lady said to Xander after they arrived at the room where he was lodged.

“I know.”H

His reply was blunt and cold.

“Excuse me,”

After the receptionist left, he used the pass card on the door, pushed it open, and walked inside.

“Let’s tuck you on bed,” He whispered as he gently dropped Summer on the big bed,

“Ugh! My back hurts, A tight groan escaped his lips as he sat on the edge of the bed and yawned.

“You are still as heavy as always,” He looked at her and smiled, but it only lasted for split seconds before it disappeared. There was nothing to be happy about. Everything was going to change as soon as she wakes up later. She would not want to see him, so why the f u ck was he happy for?

He had no reason to smile,

e, still he couldn’t hold it back nor control his excitement as he stared at her beautiful face.

“Summer..” Slowly, he reached for her face and tucked the strands of hair on her forehead behind her ear.

“I’m sorry about everything. I should’ve listened to you… I should’ve known you better than that. I’m sorry,” Even though he knew those words won’t change anything, he couldn’t still stop apologizing.

“It was all my fault… I shouldn’t have treated you like that. I should’ve given you listening ears when you demanded it,” He cupped her cheek in his palm

and bit his bottom lip.

“Enough c

of this, Xander…” He scoffed as he wiped the drop of tears that rolled down his cheeks.

“You deserve this pain. You brought everything upon yourself, so stop being pathetic,” He buried his face between his palms with his eyes closed while trying to fight back his tears.

“You deserve it all, Xander,” He reminded himself yet again as he ran his fingers through his hair and sighed deeply.

“Good night,” He whispered as he leaned forward to steal a kiss from her, but stopped and sighed.

“You have no right to do this, Kander. You lost your right already,” With that reminder, he pulled away from her and stood up from the bed.

The sound of his ringing phone stopped him on his way y to the bathroom, so he walked back to the bedside table where he left it earlier, and picked it up.

“Yes?”

“I’ve dropped the keys with the receptionist as you instructed, Sir. Is there anything else you need me to do for you?” Nick spoke from the other end.

“You can go home now. I’ll be home tomorrow, so get some rest yourself. He ended the call immediately, tossed the phone back on the table, and finally

left for the bathroom.

“I didn’t cheat on you, babe. I promise, I didn’t do it. I would never do such a thing to you. Let’s sort this out. You can’t throw me out, please” It was over six years already, but still felt like just a day. How he desperately wanted to call her back inside that night, how he desperately wanted to listen to her, how a part of him still felt the pain of hurting her that night, but then, he allowed his emotions to get the best of him, and here he was today, regretting

what he did then,

Finally able to get his thoughts together, Xander stripped out of his dress and got under the shower. It had been a long day for him yet he couldn’t even think of resting. How could he rest when he was being haunted by his mistake? How could he have a peaceful sleep when he was yet to make things

right?

After almost forever of staying under the shower, he walked back into the room, wearing a white robe. Summer was still fast asleep on the bed.

“Still as clumsy as always, hmm?*

n? He m

mumbled as he walked over to the bed and pulled the duvet to cover her body.

“You can’t sleep without the duvet on. You might catch a cold,” Slowly, he patted her hair and smiled briefly as he sat on the edge of the bed.

His phone started to ring, and he hesitantly reached for it.

“Phoebe?” He muttered before he swiped the answer button.

“Daddy, you said you damp hair

weren’t going to stay long. Why aren’t you still back?” Ella’s sad voice sounded from the other end, and he sank his fingers into his

“Ella darling… I’m so sorry. Daddy had to take care of something…

“I’m not going to sleep if you don’t come home. I’ll stay up and wait for you,”

“You can’t do t

that, sweetie. It’s almost the middle of the night. You need to get some sleep. I can’t make it back home tonight. I promise, I’ll be home first

“No, Daddy… I want

“Can you give the phone to Phoebe? I need to speak with her,” He demanded, and a few seconds later, Phoebe’s voice came on with an ‘hello, Sir’

“Yes, Phoebe. I can’t make it back home tonight. Put Ella to sleep, and make sure you keep the phone away from her. I’ll be back in the morning,” He glanced at Summer and turned his gaze away again.

“Yes, Sir. You don’t have to worry about her,”

“Good,” He ended the call and tossed his phone back on the bedside table, but just then, a phone’s ringtone disrupted him again.

“Who’s it again?” Xander thought the ringing phone was his as he picked it up, but the realization dawned on him that the phone was ringing from

Summer’s purse.

“Oh… It’s her phone,” He stood up from the bed and walked over to the sofa where he had left the purse earlier,

“Hunter” His fingers slowly tightened around the phone and his teeth gritted when he saw who the caller was.

“What the f u ck does he want now?” He rolled his eyes as he watched the phone ring until the call ended, and just when he was about to drop it, a text

popped on the screen.

my call

‘I’m so sorry, Summer. Can you please answer my y call? I know you’re mad at me, but please just answer

my

“He’s really persistent, isn’t he?” He rolled his eyes.

Barely five seconds after the text came in, Hunter’s call came in again, and this time, he answered the call.

“Hello! Summer. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. Somothing came up, and… Please where are

are you? Are you fine? Can you please talk to me?” Hunter’s worried voice came on, and Xander rolled his eyes as he sat on the sofa.

“I don’t think you two are close enough to call her by her name and in that manner. A little respect will do, you know?” Xander couldn’t help but show his sarcasms as the corner of his lips twitched into a smirk.

“And who the hell are you? Why do you have her phone?”

“The reason why you couldn’t make it to the restaurant. Should I say, your competitor? Well, not really. Anyway, stay away from my woman, Hunter Moore,” He picked his words one after the other, a dark aura surrounding his voice.

“Xander?” Hunter’s surprised voice came on.

“You don’t want to see the other side of me, Mr. Moore. Trust me, I will destroy you if you keep hanging around my woman,” And with that, he ended the call and tossed the phone beside him on the couch.

“Ugh! So annoying! Should I just kill him?”
