Villains Fated Lovers

Chapter 8: Grace

As I walk into the hall my eyes searched for him. My pink dress swayed in the air as I walked around desperately. The golden lights were shining upon me and I felt all eyes on me. Some were looking at me with surprise while some were disgusted. Only a few were concerned.

The chandelier above my head was shining with it's light upon me. While turning my head in multiple directions, my eyes finally fell on two of those shiny black eyes I love so much. They were looking at me desperately. Looking at his eyes I knew they still had love.

Xander was standing across the hall looking at me. He was in his usual black suit.

I took a step near him but he was quicker and took large steps to my direction. He was storming to me before he was standing right in front of me. "Grace, are you okay?" He was concerned. Angered... Defeated?

I nodded slightly as a smile tugged at my lips. He signed before looking confused "What are you doing here?". "My parents told me I had to come" All I can do is to look at him. The boy I love, admire and find comfort in. I love him so much. I tried to step near him and spread my arms around him but I saw how his hands came near me for a mili second and then pulled away forming into fists and he looked away.

"No" He said. "What?" My voice was low and a little broken. Xander is refusing me? My Xander. My love. My fiance who's not mine any longer. I still love him and I know he loved me too. I can feel it in his eyes, In him.

"Xander?" Tears.

People were staring at me. At us. I felt ashamed and sad. I looked down so no one can see my tears. A sob escaped my lips. I tried walking away but I couldn't. My head was spinning. Not again.

I took a step back but I stumbled. Xander came to support me but I pushed him away. "Mom... Dad". "Grace, I'm sorry" I looked up at him. "No, Xander. I'm sorry. Sorry you spend so much time on a slut" He shook his head, his eyes widening in shock when the word escaped my lips.

I tried to push him away but I couldn't. I didn't had the strength to and somewhere in me I didn't wanted to push him away. "Leave me alone." I cried out. I started to walk away but Xander was still holding my shoulders. I was about to fall on my face but he held me.

Xander took me to the balcony and sat me down on the bench. There were vines all over the place with little pink flowers growing on them. He sat beside me after closing the glass door. I looked at him with my watery eyes.

Wiping away at my tears I asked him. "Xander, why?". "Grace, things have been complicated" I took his hands when he said this. "Then tell me about it. Let's help each other out and understand each other"

Please Xander. Please just understand me and don't let go of me. "I can't, Grace. We broke off the engagement and now were not patching things up. I'm sorry" Why is he being like this. I know he still loves me. I know he does.

My life has turned for the worse ever since that party. I wish I had never gone there. I wish that, that creepy driver would've taken me. At least he wouldn't have done what those men had done to me. Xander also got shot four times that night. I got kidnapped and got taken advantage of. A man died. I knew I had a feeling about it. Even if the feeling wasn't clear I still had it. It was warning me.

I wanted to be in a fairy tale but this is what I got. My life has never been so painful before. Since childhood my parents didn't gave me the attention I wanted and when a person came into my life that cared. Life teared him away from me. Life is so cruel.

"Xander, I can't get through this without you." His hold on my hands got slightly tight before loosening up again. He shook his head. "I can't" He said. "Xander when I came back from that place I had expected you to be there for me. I wanted nothing more than to be in your embrace. To be held by you. I have only seeked comfort in you, Xander. You know..." I sniffed. "Nobody else's validation mattered. Since the day I had met you everyone else's opinion vanshished and I only looked for your validation. Maybe that's what happens when someone falls in love. They care the most about the person they love. And I, love you."
