Chapter 57

• Leah's POV
• As Xavier walks out of the room, my heart shatters into a million pieces. His words echo in my mind, and I can't help but feel a mix of anger and heartache. He pushed me away again, and this time, it feels different. The pain is more profound, knowing that he did it to protect me and our child.
• I understand his reasons, I do, but it doesn't make it any less painful. I love Xavier with all my heart, and the thought of being apart from him, especially now that we're going to have a baby together, is unbearable.
