Chapter 109

Xander leaned against the glass, arms folded.

His glare occasionally flickering to the woman who sat on the cot.

Legs crossed, casually flipping through a magazine. It annoyed him how she seemed so in control even though they were both captured and in the same predicament.

"Keep making that face and it'll give you wrinkles." Cipher says with a sigh.

"Then I really will be your child,"

Cipher scoffs a light chuckle, smirk pulling. "Funny." A look up to Xander. "It's no use in thinking of a way out of here."

"Who said I was?"

"Your my kid,"

"You have to be a mother for that comparison."

"Noted." Cipher eyes roll back down to the magazine. "You know, you should be a bit more grateful."

"For what?" Xander brow raised. "I hope not being here with you, because I'd rather pop my shoulder in and out of its socket."

"Sounds painful." She nods. "However, I am not the person I'm referring to. Your brother saved your life and your family. Should have thanked him." Cipher shrugs. "How sad would it be for your daughter to be born without you?"

Xander stares at her before chuckling which caused Cipher to look up. "Why am I not surprised? Sticking up for Tyler, even when it's clear he's selling you to the highest bidder."

"I can handle myself just fine," Cipher closes the magazine. "I stick up for him because you are famous for your ways, even as a kid. I know you hate that I know your ways Xander," His eyes roll. "but I do. You always try to fight your way out of things, impulsive thinking, I know that's what you do. I had the same problem, so did your dad. Tyler, however....he thinks of the consequences. Something you didn't start to do until you had your kid." Xander glanced down. "I'm very sure he could have told Jakob screw him and went home to Nicole. But he didn't, did he? No. Instead, he sacrificed his fatherly time to be sure you had a life, and yet all you can do is think of a way to hurt him, because what?" Her brows pull. "Your little feelings being hurt. ....Though you swear on your life we are nothing alike."
