Moving back to Xavia, her room’s door was soon pushed open… And upon looking up, she saw that it was Keith…! That beast of a man…! Was he even aware of how much harm he inflicted on her last night?! She really wanted to kill him…!
Thankfully for that man, Xavia knew that killing others was against the law, and she wasn’t about to do something that stupid. What’s more, it could potentially affect Yulia’s life too, as well as her freedom. With all that in mind, Xavia did her best to remain calm…
Keith himself casually walked over to her bed—almost as though nothing had happened last night—before looking at her as he asked, “So, have you thought long and hard about it?”
Desperately trying to keep her emotions in check, Xavia replied, “…It’s one thing for me to feel grateful to you, but it’s another for you to bring harm to me…! Do you really think I can just pretend that nothing happened after last night…?! Regardless, since you did still save my life back then, I’ll at least agree to not have anything to do with Young Master Burton anymore. In return, however, I have a few requests.”
Her response caused Keith to raise a slight brow. The truth was, he already knew that she would lose hope in him from the moment he hurt her last night. While he truly hated the fact that his illness had kicked in back then, it was inevitable. After all, his mind had been clouded in rage at the time, thinking of how everyone just adored Zivon. Either way, the damage had been done.
With that in mind, Keith sat by her bedside before staring deeply into her eyes as he said, “State them.”
“Firstly, you aren’t allowed to do anything to me anymore. I want surveillance cameras with no blind spots installed around the house, and I want all the captured videos to be automatically uploaded to my email. If you dare hurt me again, I’ll do whatever it takes to destroy you…!”
“Secondly, you aren’t allowed to go anywhere near Yulia. She stays in the private courtyard with Maison from now on till the day I leave.”
“Thirdly, burn all those pictures of me and Young Master Burton. I also need you to swear that you won’t save any to leak out to the public later on. Naturally, if you even dare expose such a thing, I’ll simply do my part as well by exposing what happened between you and Jenna. That way, all four of us can go down together…!”
She looked so innocent… and her eyes were so bright and soulful… Keith truly wondered if he’d ever be able to come across another person who could make him feel this moved… Thinking back, he had started pursuing her just to hurt Zivon… In the end, he ironically hurt himself the most… Regardless, the deed was done, and he was now willing to walk out of it.
“…I do, though on one condition. I want you to fully cut off all interactions with Uncle Zivon this month. That is the best way you could ever show me respect, as well as a great deterrent for my illness to act up again…”
Keith’s condition made Xavia purse her lips. Cut off all interactions…?
Truth be told, after that chain of events, Xavia had already decided to keep a distance from Zivon anyway. After all, it was clear that she and him were simply not meant to be…
