I hide not because I can't handle the world, but because the world can't handle me.

Violet POV

"What!" Livia and Bella exclaimed.

I had just finished telling them what I heard at the meeting. "We need to run away, get all our stuff and leave," Livia said as she paced around the room.

"Yes," Bella agreed almost immediately. They both looked at me waiting for me to join their plan but I shook my head.

"If we don't stop all the people here will die," I said.

"So what?" Bella asked, "They've never done anything to help us."

I sighed knowing it wouldn't be easy to convince them to help. I decided to guilt them into helping me, "Think of what Rose would want," I spoke softly.

"We'll think about it," was Livia's answer, Bella nodded in agreement. I stood to my feet and picked up the tray of food on the counter of the kitchen and headed into the dining room.

We'd be instructed to serve the family tonight, they would be discussing Xavier's father and Jax's arrival. I wasn't looking forward to seeing Ivy and especially Xavier. My heart squeezed tightly in my heart at the thought of him.

Asshole I thought.

I hate myself for still wanting him even though he used me. Walking into the dining room a  frown forms on my face at the sight of Ivy hanging onto Xavier's hand.

He still had that familiar glare plastered on his face. His eyes followed me as I placed the tray of food at the middle of the dining table and stood in my regular corner.

Once everything was set up, and everyone- everyone being Ivy, Xavier, Ace, Caden and a few other top members were seated they began eating.

The whole event was unbearable I watched as Ivy threw herself at Xavier and he did nothing to stop it. I couldn't believe how stupid I had been to think for a second that he had changed and was more than just a playboy.

Once dinner was over I was out of the dining room in a flash. Since it wasn't my turn to clean up, I headed to my room intending to sleep all this pain off.

I begin to undress but my actions come to a halt when the door to my room is opened. I turn expecting Livia or Bella to walk in but I find Xavier standing there. 

I let out a squeal and cover my body parts with my hands.

"What the fuck!" I exclaim in anger. "Get out!" I yelled. 

Xavier paid no attention to me, he walked over to me his steps were gentle and slow. He walked as if he was scared of scaring me away. In no time Xavier and I are face to now, the realization that I'm naked and my scars are visible dawns on me. 

Before I can cover them up, Xavier's hands touch my stomach outlining one of the scars with his finger. I flinched at his touch.

"I was wrong," he whispered. I stared at him confused but his eyes never met mine. 

"I judged you and said you'd never known pain but you have. You've known more pain than I have," he words were barely above a whisper. He made my heart flutter and that angered me. I was done being just another toy, a pun in his sick game.

"Xavier, stop playing games with me," I said pushing his hands away from my body.

He looked at me a hurt expression on his beautiful face. "I didn't say no to your question about Ivy because I was trying to protect you," he s

"From what?" I questioned.

"From me."

"What do you mea-"

"I'm a terrible person, who takes women from their home and stupidly falls for them. I was keeping you away to protect from myself because I destroy whatever I come in contact with. I didn't want to destroy you too Violet." I'm at loss for words. Xavier moves closer to me removing any pace between us.

"But I want to be selfish," he whispered this my ear. "I'm completely enthralled by you and I don't want to fight it anymore."

With that, his lips went mine in a wild passionate kiss. Your lips moved in sync, my hands grabbed onto his hair, deepening the kiss. Xavier's hands drifted to my ass, his lips latched on my neck sending me into pleasant bliss. Xavier's fingers brush over my nipple, making it grow hard, he pinches it hard making me let out a soft moan. His lips meet mine again, pleasure bursts through my body, I was more than eager for this is but I couldn't without knowing, what's going on between him and Ivy. I pulled away from his lips.

"What about Ivy?" I questioned.

"My dad set us up. I haven't even proposed to her," he answers.

"Then why does she have a ring?"

"My dad most likely gave her one or she bought one for herself."

I smacked his arm. "Why the fuck didn't you say this when I asked you the first time."

Xavier chuckled softly, "Because I wasn't sure if I wanted you it if wanting you was right. But now am I...in a way."

In a way? He is too confusing. Pushing his hands away from my waist, I composed myself and spoke, "I need you to leave." Sadness clouded his eyes, with a nod Xavier left the room. As much I hated him seeing go, I needed to sort out my feelings and all shit going on in this hell hole and so did Xavier.

My door opens again, this time it's Bella and Livia. I'm surprised, they are supposed to be on cleaning.

"What are you two doing here?" I asked.

"Helping you," Bella stated simply as if I was supposed to magically understand what she was talking about. They both noticed my confused expression and sighed.

"We're helping you help these assholes," Livia declared. My face broke into a huge grin. I ran and all but threw myself at them, giving them a silent thank you.

"Okay, we can leave now. There's no one but the maids around, they don't give two shits what we do," Bella stated. Livia and I both nodded, we grabbed the things we might need and proceeded to leave the mansion.

We took the usual route making sure to be as quiet as possible. As we are about to get past the gate, a voice barked from behind us, "What the hell do you three think you doing?"

Shit.
