Shadows of Destiny: A Tale of Liberation

Chapter 1133

Having vented all her grievances, Leia stopped assaulting the women and warned them even as they shook in their

boots. "I will spare your lives today, but remember-bully another innocent, and you will suffer a worse fate!’

They promptly kowtowed to Leia. "Thank you, thank you! We will always remember that!"

Having endured such a terrible experience, they were made to understand that there was always a bigger fish and

that they should never be so quick to bully.

With that, Leia and Xavier left the detention center without leaving any evidence behind—as if they had never been

there before.

"Hand," Xavier suddenly told her.

"Hand?"

Leia had no idea what he intended, but she was in a good mood and generously held out her dainty hand.

His large palm wrapped around hers right then, gently caressing it as he said seriously, "You must be tired. Let me

give you a massage."

Under the bright moonlight, the affection he had for her was so obvious in his flawless, handsome face.

Leia spaced out a little but quickly withdrew her hand as her heart was racing because of him.

Keeping her hand behind herself, she appeared exasperated as she told him off, "Don't be so naughty... You've done

enough for one night; any more, and I'd misunderstand."

Everything about him was perfect, not least of all the sense of security and comfort he could give a lady, not unlike

the feeling of seeing a knight in shining armor. And Leia herself was not heartless—so how could she not be drawn

to him?

However, past experiences told her that she would suffer if she fell for Xavier again. That was why she had to

restrain herself as much as she could!

"Misunderstand what?" Xavier asked innocently, looking at her with doleful puppy eyes despite her sudden coldness.

"What do you think?!’ Leia snapped, frowning. "Don't you know how charming you are, bewitching me all the time,

only to tell me 'we're just friends' afterward and abandoning me? Is teasing me like that fun for you?!"

"So you're saying you're falling for me again?" Xavier flashed his unrepentant playboy smile, slipping his hands in

both pockets.

He was certainly pleased to have elicited such a response from Leia, like a cat catching a mouse.

They had been brought back together after drifting apart for so long, and past sentiments remained without fading-

in fact, it was burning even more passionately than before.

In other words, he was special, even irreplaceable to her, and that was enough for him!

"So what if I am?" Leia retorted. "Do you feel a sense of accomplishment from this? Don't you feel bored, an old-

timer like you, manipulating a virgin like me?"

In reality, Leia never avoided confronting her feelings for Xavier, but she just could not understand how his mind

worked-what was the point of his repeated advances?

"Nope. I won't get bored as long as it's you," Xavier grinned, baring his squeaky-clean teeth-he had the charm to

bewitch all living beings, but he obviously needed a good punch just then.

Leia was left huffing, a sign that she had truly lost to him. "I get bored even if you don't. Do whatever you like-l don't

care!"

She was not about to play along to the playboy's flirtatious routines like some blockhead once more.

Either way, the only way to escape his manipulation was to stay away from him.
