Chapter 34 Resist Such Allure

• Reina sat at the dining table, the clinking of cutlery barely registering as the turmoil within her intensified. A storm of emotions raged inside her. ‘Did she really just agree to give Xavier a chance?’ The thought echoed in her mind, a relentless whisper that gnawed at her conscience. What about her husband, the man who deserved her loyalty? Guilt washed over her like a tidal wave, threatening to pull her under. She had promised herself that she would prove to her husband that her fleeting moments with Xavier were nothing but a mistake—yet here she was, entangled in an affair, repeatedly betraying the man she once vowed to love with someone she knew should be off-limits.
• "Ahhh, damn it!" she screamed inwardly, her heart racing as heat rose to her cheeks. She shut her eyes tight, trying to hold back the hot tears that threatened to spill from their corners.
• The guilt was overwhelming, yet intertwined with an undeniable truth: her love for her husband, though deep and genuine, couldn’t quell the fiery passion she felt for Xavier. Every time she thought of her husband, her love for him clashed violently with the searing passion she felt for Xavier. She detested the betrayal, loathing the shadow of deceit that loomed over her heart, making her stray from the vows she had once held sacred. Yet, the attraction to Xavier was intoxicating, a flame that burned brighter than anything she had ever felt. It surged through her veins like electricity, dazzling yet dangerous.
