Chapter 57

• XAVIER'S POV
• I gave my last warning and turned to leave. Erin stood in defeat, her gaze fixed and piercing at my back as I walked away.
• I climbed upstairs, my mind still reeling from the confrontation with her. The tension in my body began to dissipate, replaced by a sense of relief. I had protected Sarah, and that's all that mattered. What I said to her was overly harsh, but I couldn't help it. She didn't deserve a second chance after all that she spilled out last night.
