Unbeatable Chef Xenon
Chapter 43
***
Felicity landed on the floor in pain and Xenon's eyes widened in horror.
That was a sudden unexpected move from him and he didn't know he was that hard. All he knew was that he hated being kissed on the lips.
He could have all the fun while having sex but being kissed was out of the box.
"Damn! I'm sorry Felicity, I– you shouldn't –have kissed me. I lost control. I'm sorry." He apologized deeply but she felt pissed at the fact that he would push her away as if she was some dirt or an eyesore.
She couldn't say a word but picked up her clothes to wear in haste, she looked at the time and almost cursed at the fact that it was Past 1 pm and too Impossible to get a cab or drive out late.
"Get me a guest room." She whispered to him and he felt bad. He was so harsh at his reaction and no amount of explanation would justify his actions.
"The third room by the left, I could leave instead. Felicity, I didn't mean to react that way, I – was just– not in the–"
She slammed the door shut and left him talking as she didn't want to listen to any more of his words.
A hot pang of disappointment and shame washed through her and she had never felt so bad and rejected in her entire life.
After a series of thoughts and guilts from both sides, they slept off till dawn.
Xenon wore his casual jeans and a designer polo top, his anger of last night returned in full force as he was supposed to be expecting Alfredo, disturbing his life to life to wake up or teasing him throughout.
He didn't deserve whatever he was facing right now at the hospital and his heart clenched painfully at the thought.
The door to his room sounded a knock twice and he stood up.
"Felicity?" He called out and eagerly went to open the door only to reveal a salt-peppered-haired guy. He was awfully tall And impeccably dressed which made Xenon frown.
"Did Felicity send for you?" He couldn't help but ask him if she had had a driver or chauffeur but his eyes gave off this eerie vibe that he didn't belong to this city.
"I don't know who she is but I was sent here from Viscaria. Your life is in danger and Alfredo has failed in doing his job."
"He didn't fail!" Xenon snapped at him."And what is it with the whole appointment or new people? Alfredo would be fine." Xenon said and left him walled in. Alfredo had already prepped him about this new person and he needed to cooperate.
"You're our future King in Viscaria staying in the city, the elders and high authority of the throne would want you alive. What's your schedule today? I didn't meet Alfredo so he didn't pass any information." He asked, straight and concise and Xenon smirked.
"We're shaking the city this morning. I'll use my powers to the fullest while cooking."
"That would affect you, the side effects are–"
"I know, I'll cure it. It's either I fuck or I make the cure to it. I'm doing this to bring the two brats after my life. Can you sense It when someone isn't human?" Xeno asked the strange guy who nodded.
"I can, it's easy."
"Good then, you will dish out Alec and Andrea for me in the crowd today and let me know. Those two had done me dirty and it's time I teach them a lesson before I start my training."
"Alright boss, when do we leave?"
"We leave now, but wait; let me check on someone before we leave. What's your name?"
Xenon asked the fine man and he replied.
"I'm Valentino. You can call me Valent, it's simpler."
"Alright Valentino, get the car ready. I'll join you outside.." Xenon told him and took hasty steps to the guest bedroom and he wondered if Felicity already left.
He sighed in relief when he heard her voice and almost turned the door knob.
"This is not fair!!" She cried on the phone, talking and arguing bitterly with her father. She would have spoken with him last night but she had to make herself visible before Xenon.
"You almost Killed Xenon, I asked you to wait. To see if I could get his secret instead of succumbing to those strange men you barely know!" She yelled.
"There was no time to waste Felicity, that boy isn't an ordinary human. I had to give in to their demands besides he is going to be useless to us in the future." Her father replied to her at the other end and she shook her head.
"NO!!" She screamed in anger. "He was going to be useful to me, I was getting closer to him to know his secrets and the real him that might be forever but what did you do, you almost set him ablaze!"
"Well, he didn't die. We can have another chance while I give you the benefit of the doubt."
"You would not hurt him no matter what! I want him for myself and he's going to be useful, tell those two men to fuck out. I got this!"
She said in a warning tone and cut the call. She knew her father had something to do with the fire outbreak and had lost It mentally.
Her father was threatened so he couldn't blame him to some extent but he was becoming regular at plotting Xenon's death which was ungrateful.
Aside from the sex benefits, she wanted Xenon for herself and kicked against it bitterly, promising something bigger than what those two strangers had promised him.
However, while she was lost In thoughts and twitching her lips for her move she felt a presence by the door.
The moment she turned, a sharp gasp escaped her throat in horror as Xenon stood by the door staring at her in a deeply frozen state that made her whole body paralyzed in shock.
