While My Husband Cheated I Married His Powerful Brother novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Chapter 100 You Passed

Caspian’s grip tightened around Xiomara’s arm.

She tried to pull away again. His fingers dug into her sleeve.

"I said let’s go."

Xiomara’s eyes darted to Veyra. Then to the phone in Veyra’s hand. Then back to Caspian.

Her jaw was tight. Her breathing was loud.

But she stopped struggling.

Caspian dragged her toward the doorway.

They reached the threshold.

Xavier Lala was standing there.

His arms were crossed. His round glasses caught the hallway light. His face was calm. Unreadable.

"Mr. Thorne," he said. "Leaving so soon?"

Caspian stopped. His hand released Xiomara’s arm.

He looked at Xavier. His eyes were cold.

"Get out of my way."

Xavier did not move.

"This is a private hallway," Xavier said. "You’re not supposed to be here."

Caspian stepped closer. His chest nearly touched Xavier’s.

"I said move."

Xavier tilted his head. His voice was pleasant.

"I heard you the first time."

Caspian’s face darkened.

Xiomara grabbed his sleeve. "Caspian. Let’s go."

Caspian did not move. His eyes were locked on Xavier’s.

Xavier smiled. "I understand your frustration. It’s hard to lose. Especially when you thought you had it won."

Caspian’s hands curled into fists.

Xavier stepped aside. He gestured toward the staircase.

"The exit is that way. Try not to trip on your way out."

Caspian’s jaw tightened. His knuckles were white.

Xiomara pulled him again. Harder this time.

"Come on."

Caspian turned. He walked past Xavier. His shoulder brushed against Xavier’s as he passed.

Xavier did not flinch.

Caspian stopped at the top of the stairs. He looked back.

"This isn’t over," he said.

Xavier tilted his head. "I hope not. I was starting to enjoy myself."

Caspian’s face went red. Xiomara grabbed his arm and pulled him down the stairs.

Their footsteps faded.

Xavier turned to look at Veyra.

She was still standing in the doorway. The phone was still in her hand. Her face was calm.

Xavier walked toward her. His steps were unhurried.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

"I’m fine."

"I heard shouting. Came to see what was happening."

Veyra tucked her phone back into her bag. "You missed the show."

"Did I?"

"Xiomara shoved an old man. I caught him. She wanted to fight me. Caspian dragged her away."

Xavier’s eyebrows rose. "The janitor?"

"You know him?"

"I’ve seen him around. He’s been here for years." Xavier paused. "Is he okay?"

"He’s fine. I sent him home."

Xavier nodded. Then he smiled.

"You’re always in the middle of something, aren’t you?"

Veyra shrugged. "It follows me."

Xavier’s smile faded. He looked at the open door behind Veyra.

"Is Dr. Harrison still here?"

"He left a few minutes ago."

"I was supposed to meet him. Table No. 1."

Veyra’s heart skipped. Table No. 1. That was her table. The private dining room she had been using all night.

"Table No. 1 is at the end of the hall," she said. "I’ll show you."

Xavier blinked. "You don’t have to—"

"I’m going that way anyway."
