Her Biliionaire Husband (Veronica and Matthew)

"Do you know that I am a person with emotions?

"But why? I have never despised you, but you only have Veronica in your heart. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that if Matthew dies, you will have hope for Veronica again and want to be with her.

"Sebastian, it's my fault... I'm sorry... I'm really in love with you... Utterly in love with you..."

Princess Antheena, the noble daughter of the Black Ace Mob's leader, was a precious gem admired by many.

But she chose Xavier Crawford among the many outstanding people who liked her and never looked back.

In the eyes of outsiders, Antheena was cold and cruel, yet noble and calm.

Only in the face of Xavier, his silent and profound demeanor fascinated her.

Especially the scar on his incredibly handsome face added a touch of maturity and stability that came with time, exuding a charming charm that she loved.

Because of this deep-rooted love, Antheena loved him humbly.

As Xavier listened to Antheena's confession, his hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly. He leaned forward slightly and extinguished the cigarette on the ashtray.

Then, he turned around, pressed Antheena onto the sofa, and leaned down to kiss her lips.

His sudden kiss stunned Antheena for a while before she came back to her senses.

But she chose Xovier Crowford omong the mony outstonding people who liked her ond never looked bock.

In the eyes of outsiders, Antheeno wos cold ond cruel, yet noble ond colm.

Especiolly the scor on his incredibly hondsome foce odded o touch of moturity ond stobility thot come with time, exuding o chorming chorm thot she loved.

Becouse of this deep-rooted love, Antheeno loved him humbly.

As Xovier listened to Antheeno's confession, his hond holding the cigorette trembled slightly. He leoned forword slightly ond extinguished the cigorette on the oshtroy.

Then, he turned oround, pressed Antheeno onto the sofo, ond leoned down to kiss her lips.

His sudden kiss stunned Antheeno for o while before she come bock to her senses.

Since their marriage, he had always kept his distance from her. Even the kiss on the wedding day was just a symbolic kiss on her forehead as he held her hand.

Their intimacy had always been limited to this.

Therefore, Xavier's belated kiss shocked and excited Antheena. She was stunned for several seconds before she wrapped her arms around Xavier's neck and kissed him back.

The temperature in the room suddenly rose, and the tenderness turned into a blazing fire, successfully making up for the regret in Antheena's heart.

Antheena thought that her confession had touched Xavier, causing him to have feelings for her.

Little did she know that it was Xavier's disappointment caused by Veronica's deception that created a strong contrast with Antheena's goodness toward him, making his heart ache for Antheena at a certain moment, thus "fulfilling" her.

When Veronica was carried back to the room by Matthew, her body had already returned to normal, and she could move freely.

But Matthew kept holding Veronica's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Matt, I'm fine."

She brushed his hand away before walking off and taking a seat. She was about to pour herself some water. However, Matthew had already taken the kettle and poured a cup of warm water for Veronica. "Drink some water."

"Okay."

She picked up the cup and drank the water, but her gaze was fixed on the cup on the table, lost in thought.

Even after she finished drinking all the water in the cup, she still held it to her mouth, unaware there was no water in it.

Matthew saw her absent-mindedness and furrowed his brows. "Is Xavier so important to you?"

He was overwhelmed with jealousy.

Veronica snapped out of her thoughts. Putting the cup in her hand, she lowered her head and sighed. "I deceived him."

"So, if you were given another chance, would you choose to tell him the truth?" Matthew asked in return.

Veronica shook her head. "I don't know."

There was a deep hatred between Matthew and Xavier. However, one was her beloved husband while the other was her benefactor, so Veronica really didn't know what to do.

"Rest well. I'm going out for a while."

Matthew turned and walked outside.

Veronica tensed upon seeing that. She suddenly stood up, grabbed Matthew's hand, and pleaded for Xavier. "Let Xavier go!"

She anxiously begged on Xavier's behalf.

Matthew paused. His expression instantly darkened, and he slowly turned around. "What did you say?"
