Chapter 176: It’s the day
Loud gasps erupted from the crowd and almost immediately, whispers and murmurs began to fill the air.
Blake’s icy blue eyes widened a fraction for a split second before his eyes were quickly narrowed into thin slits as he glared at Xavier. His blood was boiling with anger as his lips quivered, waves of unjust crashing onto him.
"I... did not," he began, his voice steady and his expression remained calm as the place fell silent. "I did not cheat on Aurelia!" He shouted this time, his voice boomed loudly, slicing through the air like a gunshot in the silence. The words that left his lips were shaking with rage that was pulsing through every single vein inside of his body.
I watched with wide eyes as Xavier rushed forward, closing the distance between them in a few large strides. Despite the police officers’ best efforts to push him away from Blake, they couldn’t stop him. He reached out and tightly grabbed Blake by his collar, pulling him close to him, their faces merely inches apart as a dark look crossed his eyes.
He lowered his voice.
"Don’t you dare say you didn’t," he warned through gritted teeth, his hand still on his now wrinkled collar. "You know what you did, and you did her wrong," his gaze remained steady as he spat the words out like they were poison in his mouth.
A cold chuckle emerged from Blake’s throat this time as he shook his head, the corners of his lips twitching upwards into an amused smile. He arched his brow at him, a smug expression etched onto his face. "I would hardly call that cheating mate, who told her to be waiting for me at home while I am out with Stella?" He retorted smugly, which only earned him a punch across his face.
The crowd broke into chaos and I found myself staring ahead as I froze while the police officers sprung into action. They quickly pulled Xavier away from Blake to stop him, creating a distance between the two men. While Xavier’s dark brown eyes were burning with anger, Blake had this arrogant smirk that was plastered across his face even as a droplet of blood trickled down from his nose to his upper lip.
"Blake!" Stella’s cries echoed in the place as her eyes flashed with concern and worry as she witnessed the scene unfold before her eyes.
