Chapter 120: We are safe
Xavier was the one who kicked down the hotel door without a second thought. There he was, standing by the door as his dark eyes were burning with a fiery blaze and he had his fists clenched tightly beside his body.
"I said get away from her!" His voice boomed loudly, catching the attention of the couple as both Stella and Aaron whipped their heads around in an instant, looking at him with shock evident on their faces, it was almost as if they had not expected him to show up there.
It was also at this moment when Aaron loosened his grip on my throat as they locked eyes from a distance. I could finally breathe again, inhaling one deep breath as my sight slowly came back to me although I remained light-headed.
"Xavier..." His name left my lips in a voice that was barely above a whisper, and I was certain that my face was ghastly white.
Before I knew it, Xavier was marching over, covering the distance between us in no more than a couple of steps. With his fist still tightly clenched, he swung down on the man with zero hesitation. In the quietness of the room, I could practically hear the sound of his jaw cracking as his fist landed squarely at his jaw.
A loud yelp emerged from the man’s throat while a gasp left Stella’s lips as she watched on, her hands flying up to cover her mouth as she watched in shock while the situation unfolded before her eyes.
But before Aaron could even react or even try to fight back, Xavier had delivered another blow right into his stomach, causing him to tumble over and fall to the ground as he grimaced in pain, clutching onto his tummy and curling up into a fetus position.
"Aaron!" Stella called out, her voice laced with worry and concern as her eyes were wide with horror.
Impulse and rage continued to cloud his judgement as anger spread through his body like a wildfire he couldn’t seem to control. He didn’t stop there, all sense of rationality and control were thrown right out of the window at that point in time. Even as Aaron was lying on the ground defenseless with his arms up to shield himself, I watched with wide eyes as Xavier continued to kick and punch at him until I could see the blood oozing out of his fresh wound.
