Unbeatable Chef Xenon
Chapter 40
The glass shattered on the floor in pieces and everyone jerked in fear at the intensity of his anger, even Abigail felt tensed as she felt his stubbornness.
He needs answers and won't stop until he gets it.
"I'm repeating this, why the hell are you all here?"
He asked Abigail who saw his iris blazed at the corner of his eyes and she sighed.
"Why are you so hard on us right now, whatever happened to your friend is not our fault. You're so angry for nothing and –"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP MARIA!" He thundered and everyone suddenly kept quiet. Even Maria was so stunned that he could yell at her.
"He's dying and it's all because you didn't say a word, now tell me everything Abigail. Not a Single detail should be missing, I heard you're related to them that's why you're carrying out their order like a puppet."
"That's an insult Xenon!" Abigail slayed out and she shrugged.
"Does it look like I care when you're working for that devil? I want to know everything and if they are also going to come here too."
He asked her and she hesitated to try to come up with words to cover up but her daughters looked fed up, especially Lilith.
"Those men came back to warm Mum to take her assignment seriously or she would be in trouble but Mum was stubborn. But they said something about taking over your house as you're going to die anyway or you were already dead."
Lilith said as Xenon had never been so confused in his life.
"What she meant is that Andre and Alec predicted your death and asked us to come over to this house instead. He already assigned someone else to take care of you and I was going to perform a new task. So seeing you so alive made us shocked, it's all the pressure and not on us." Abigail told him and Xenon thought hard and nodded.
That fire wasn't just an ordinary fire out of the blue, it was a planned one and he could have been in Aldero's state right now. The thought alone churned him and sent a slice of painful pangs to his stomach.
"What have I done to these people?". Xenon asked himself without realizing he said it so loud.
"You've triggered Draco's resignation with your presence and powers. What might seem so normal to you now is good to be a bloody war tomorrow, he's so angry and won't let a descendant of Senie or Glacier take his throne away that he's willing to come to stay with the humans to tackle you." She continued explaining and all Xenon could do was stare at her and wait for her next words.
"Why not just give your ring and live like a normal man, There are many hurdles that will lunge at you because of your powers, I think it's best to remove it or keep it with me and I will protect it".
Xenon nodded and chuckled.
"You must think I'm very stupid huh? If they asked you to tell me about this too, then you failed. I'll make sure I use this to my fullest and defeat them. And by tomorrow morning, I want you all to get out of my apartment!" He ordered and Maria gasped in shock.
"Xe-"
"Don't think of coercing me, get the fuck out of my apartment!" He banged the table and she flinched in shock.
If Draco is hell-bent on making his life a living hell when he is trying to get up on his feet in this dangerous world he's living in, then he's going to make him come for him faster, he would trigger him to make him come out from his hiding place.
He took one glance at them and turned back to leave for his room when the door gave a knocking sound and everything ceased.
No one said a word and no one was willing to answer the door that kept knocking and curiously kicked in on Xenon's mind as he wondered why anyone would be at his door by this time of the night.
"Hello, Xenon are you in? Anyone at home?" A sweet voice echoed out and his shoulders dropped In relief.
Felicity.
"What's she doing here?"
He asked himself and walked towards the door and opened it.
"Hey, are you okay? You were picked up and I didn't see you in the hospital?" She said breathlessly and gave a quick hug to him.
She Heard about the fire outbreak at the New restaurant her father had gone to to Xenon and her heart had flown away from her chest thinking it was Xenon.
No, it was supposed to be Xenon as her dad had stated but it ended up oppositely.
"You weren't in the office, I had to leave".
"I'm sorry, I wished I knew what had happened. Are you ok, don't worry, please. He's going to be fine.." She asked him worriedly and cupped his cheeks not a clearing throat disturbed her and she discovered that some ladies were in the room and the young one gave her stone-cold glares.
"My bad, who are they Xenon?"
"Cousins and Aunty. Let's head upstairs Felicity, you need to talk and leave on time, it's already too late to keep you for a long time."
He told her and she sighed and shook her head.
"It's fine. My dad won't ask questions, I know you will be depressed so I have to spend the night… it's okay, don't worry." She said and bit her lips seductively and Xenon shook his head as if he could read the signs of what her stare meant.
"She's not staying here this night Xenon!" Maria suddenly spat out earning a surprise glare from Felicity
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me Blondie, you won't stay in this house. As you can see, he's fine and hearty, and adding more distractions would make him depressed."
Xenon couldn't believe his ears right now as he stared at Maria and the sudden authority she wielded.
"That's not going to happen, dear cousin, I'm staying in his room as there's nothing anyone would do about it."
