Chapter 79: Are you sure?
I watched as Blake’s eyes grew wide with anger and rage pulsed through every single vein inside his body, turning his cheeks red.
"What the fuck did you just say?!" He sneered as his sharp voice pierced through the air and the tension continued to thicken between us. "Did you just call me trash?"
I remained unfazed and seemingly unbothered by his loud voice and angry expression that masked his features. Instead, I simply kept my gaze steady, never breaking eye contact as I let the word roll off the tip of my tongue.
"Yes," I uttered a single word which only riled him up even further.
He couldn’t control his anger and impulse clouded his judgement as he left Stella’s side and rushed towards me. He raised his hand once again but before he could even come close to me, Xavier had grabbed him by his wrist and twisted his arm behind him.
A loud gasp erupted from Stella’s mouth as she watched with wide eyes, horror evident in her eyes.
Meanwhile, a yelp escaped Blake’s parted lips as he grimaced with a pained expression that was etched onto his face. "What do you think you are doing?!" He spat the words out of his mouth as his voice shook with anger. "Let go of me!" He demanded through gritted teeth as he winced in pain.
Xavier leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a low whisper as he murmured beside his ear. "Don’t even think about laying a finger on her," he warned, his tone laced with threat as his dark eyes glared daggers into the side of his head before he finally released his tight hold on him.
Blake let out a breath, a disgruntled look was plastered across his face as his eyes darted between the two of us. Stella rushed over to his side, her fingers curling around his arm as she gently caressed his arm and her eyes were busy examining for signs of any bruises and injuries.
