The Barter Novel Sierra and Xavier

---- She looks at him and then nods.

Holding on.

And there it was.

That fake assuring smile that somehow calmed his heart Minutes stretched into an eternity before the monsters finally moved on, their growls fading into the distance.

Alex waited, her body rigid against his, until she was certain they were gone.

Then, slowly, she exhaled, her breath ghosting across his neck.

They're gone, she whispered, her voice trembling.

Damiens chest rose and fell as he took his first deep breath, the tension in his body easing ever so slightly.

Alex...

s, and for a moment, neither of them spoke.

The world around them seemed to fade, leaving only the sound of their breathing and the lingering heat between them.

---- Chapter 466 Thank you.

She ignores his words to struggle and get up.

Trying to hide her burning cheeks.

Come on now.

I was just helping myself.

Who would get me food if you were dead? She offers him her open palm to hold it and climb up and he shakes his head in disbelief to grab her hand.

You are in loss.

I may not ever be able to even walk properly with one leg.

She scoffs Walk? I'll show you running around in few days.

Tama cripple- Her palms slap on his lips and her next words made his heart to thud again.

His eyes soflen and he doesn't know what to do with this woman.

From today onwards till your last breath, I will be your leg.It's a promise that I will stick to you like a glue and even if you want me to, I will never leave your side.

She rushes and wraps his arm around her shoulder, taking half of his weight: So Lam stuck with you now.

She nods, to wink at him.

For lifetime.

Yes.

Gosh.

I must have the worst luck.

Or maybe you are the most lucky man alive.

Tdoubt.

Tbet.

The world was falling, death was chasing them but for the moments they were together, hope remained.

And it was enough to bring all that has been lost back.

Alexia wasn't foreign to what he was feeling.

She managed to see what he didn't wanted her to see.

She saw Zariyan.

---- And the way he looked at her? It was clear.

He will never look at her that way.

But for the time being, she was satisfied with what she was getting Damien would never be hers.

For him, she can never be more than a mere friend to him.

But she was content.

She loved spending her every second with him.

She loved giving him without expecting anything in return.

He was her hero.

And he will always be one.

Even if she never gets to be his heroine.
