My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 133

I didn't understand what Kevin meant by saying that I had no worries, and I didn't reply anything to that because I was really annoyed now. Not long after that, I got up and went to sleep in the bed.

Last night, Shawn and I had made love on this bed for many hours, and the smell still lingered in this room. As I flopped on the bed, I soon fell asleep and was woken up by the sound of thunder outside at 4 a.m.

After that, I couldn't fall asleep anymore, and lay in bed with my eyes wide open and my heart abnormally at ease. Finally, at 7.00AM, I got up and boiled some water to have my tonic before going to the hospital.

First, I went to visit Jim, who was still unconscious, and when I recalled the things he told me yesterday, my heart was filled with frustrations from unanswered questions.

Next, I visited Francesca, and she looked much better now. However, because Leon was always there, she appeared less chatty.

On the other hand, Leon's recent behavior was pretty okay; he always accompanied Francesca even when she gave him the evil eye as he hung around shamelessly and refused to leave.

Then, I went to the ICU to visit her baby. Only then did she tell me that she had named her child after her aunt, Tamara Gant, because they were born on the same day.

The baby would be taking after her family name, but Leon had no opinion about that, which was

unquestionable. After all, Francesca had risked her life to save this baby, so what did the baby have anything to do with him?

Despite that, he must feel very disappointed on the inside because Francesca didn't forgive him until now.

I stayed a while in the hospital and then left. As I was free, I decided to make a trip to the company, and Gary was surprised when he saw me coming.

"President Felix, I was just about to call you," he said.

Puzzled, I asked, "What happened?"

"Regarding Quinn, she is confirmed to be deported and won't appear in the country anymore. Also, the Yates keep wanting to have an appointment with you."

"You mean Old Master Yates, Benedict?"

"Yes, he kept asking to meet you."

More than a couple of times had Benedict asked to meet me, but I'd turned him down through Gary, and I did the same again this time.

The feud between the Yates and I could never be resolved. Moreover, Alice even got someone to hypnotize Nicholas.

She caused all the agony he had now, and not only would I not meet them, I would even finish them off, but just not now.

Once Benedict had completely retired into the background, the Yates Family would become my prey, and this was the last mercy I showed them.

From the company, I went home and stayed in bed. Just like that, another day was gone, but my heart kept thinking about Shawn, wondering if he would be injured again this time when he returned to the Xenos Manor.

He didn't show up for the next few days and didn't even call me. Meanwhile, Jim's condition was getting better.

When I revisited him, he was already conscious and had a clear head even though he was still unable to speak. He kept holding my hand to write something, and I studied it for a long time before I finally recognized the characters.

"Mon?" I asked in confusion.

Jim nodded in excitement and continued to finish the word. This time, I was quick to read it.

Montreal.

Filled with bafflement, I asked, "You want me to go to Montreal?"

Again, he nodded and wrote another word on my palm. It took me a while until I knew he meant 'Santorino'.

Still, I couldn't figure out what this meant, and he couldn't explain it when I asked, either. Hence, I left the hospital sadly.

Finally, as I stood at the hospital entrance, I stared at the gloomy skies for a long time without any answers until a soft, elegant voice interrupted my thoughts. "Hello, Ms. Felix. I'm Kiara Xenos."

Startled by the voice, I raised my head and saw a woman in a Gibson dress standing not far from me without me realizing. She looked like a gentle person and carried a smile on her face like a typical young mistress of a wealthy family.

She was the woman Shawn, and I ran into that rainy night when he brought me into the Xenos Manor yard. The green bangle was still on her wrist, and she appeared very elegant and demure.

Since her last name was Xenos, she must be from the Xenos Family and Shawn's sister. Extending my hand, I greeted her. "Hello."

"What a coincidence to run into you here."

Smiling, I answered, "Yes, it's a small world."

"A few days ago, Shawn went back to the Xenos Manor. I thought that you'll be coming with him, but he came alone instead."

A few days ago, Shawn asked me, but I chose not to follow him back to the Xenos Manor because I was in an incredibly foul mood then.

"Next time, for sure," I said as perfunctory.

Unexpectedly, Kiara gave me a gentle smile as she said, "Yes. You're an easy-going person, and I hope we can treat each other like sisters in the future."

Until now, I still didn't know her exact identity, and I smiled awkwardly. "May I ask if you're Shawn's elder or younger sister?"

When she heard that, the look on her face turned very unpleasant, but still, she explained to me patiently, "Ms. Felix, I'm Shawn's fiancee and the future main mistress of the Xenos Family while you… According to the Xenos Family tradition, you'll be the second concubine. So, together, we'll serve Shawn in the future."

At that moment, I finally understood what she meant by treating each other as sisters. Shocked, I gaped at her, blurting, "Are you running a fever?"

What era were we living in now? She actually used the term 'second concubine'?!

Perhaps my words were too offensive for her, and she explained with a knot between her brows, "I'm Anna's niece but grew up in the Xenos household, so they allowed me to take their family name and made me Shawn's fiancee. I know that he likes you, and I'm willing to accept you as he does. Hopefully, we can get along well with each other in the future."

She said she was Anna's niece, but I remembered that she didn't speak up for her when Shawn punished Anna and merely watched in indifference. Right now, she was making it very embarrassing for me because it was as though I was the other woman, and she was here to warn me as the Xenos Family's mistress.

Discomfort built up within me, and she added, "As the head of the Xenos Family, Shawn doesn't belong to just any one person. No matter how much he likes you, he has to set up his family according to the family rules. Meanwhile, you… Ms. Felix, I hope you'll be contented with what you have."

"You must be out of your mind," I uttered, gawking at her. "Even though I didn't study much, I understand that the society now is monogamy."

"That's how society is, but there are special exceptions." With a grim face, she sounded a little miffed as she said, "I know this society very well, and I'm aware that it is monogamy by law, but at the same time, I know my status and situation! Ms. Felix, I love Shawn, and I'm willing to be the mistress of his family while sharing him with other women. You can call me pedantic or crazy. It doesn't matter because that's how the Xenos Family has always existed. As long as you want to marry Shawn, you'll only be the second mistress in the end. There's no way you could bend the Xenos Family's rules which have lasted for generations."

Over and over, she kept emphasizing that she was the mistress, which pissed me off every time I heard it, and I snapped at her. "Your title as the mistress is given to you by the Xenos Family but not Shawn himself. Just a few days ago, he asked me if I wanted to be the mistress of his family. So, tell me, do you think that carries any weight?"
