NovelsFreeChapter 242 I took a few moments to steady my breathing and gather my thoughts. My pulse was racing, but I refused to let fear take control. I needed to act. I stood up with renewed determination, brushing the remnants of doubt away. I didn't want to think about Lupita and Grandma any longer had to find Xander, he was the one I needed to confront. He had answers, and I wanted them.
Without hesitating, I walked toward the door, opening it carefully. The air outside was cool, but it did nothing to calm the fire inside me. The balcony stretched out before me, and there was a small ledge separating my room from my father's. My heart pounded in my chest as I climbed over it, careful not to make a sound. I didn't want anyone to know I was leaving, especially not Nick. I couldn't afford distractions now.

"Look after the baby. I'm coming. Don't clooking for me," I instructed, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through my veins. "I will cback on my own." Before he could respond, I ended the call. I didn't want him to argue, didn't want him to try and stop me. This was something I had to do on my own.
I ran down the hallway, my feet barely making a sound against the marble floors. The hotel was quiet, almost eerily so. I didn't stop until I reached Xander's room, my pulse hammering in my ears. I hesitated for only a moment, and then my hand reached for the doorknob. But before I could knock, the door swung open, revealing Xander standing there, his face a mixture of surprise and something darker.
"Olivia," he said, his voice smooth and dripping with intrigue. "What brings you here?" His words were calm, but there was something about his tone that made my skin crawl. He wasn't expecting me. But that only mademore resolute.
"You wanted me, didn't you?" I said, my voice coming out stronger than I felt. “Well, here I am.” Xander's eyes gleamed, and a smirk spread across his face. For the first time, I saw a side of him I didn't recognize. The smirk sent an icy chill down my spine, a feeling of unease creeping over me. Before I could react, he closed the distance between us, and I barely registered the flash of movement as he took something from his pocket.
I tried to step back, but my body was too slow. I felt a sharp pinch at the base of my neck, and my vision blurred. The world tilted, spinning dangerously around me. I staggered, struggling to stay on my feet, but he was already holding me, his arms encirclingas if we were embracing.

The words barely registered before the darkness rushed in, overtaking me. I tried to fight it, tried to call out to Marcus, to anyone, but my thoughts scattered like fragile glass. Marcus, I'm sorry. I couldn't keep my promise to stay out of this... Please forgive me.
And then everything went black. The last thing I felt was Xander's grip on me, the weight of his presence pressing down onas I lost consciousness.
