The Moment I Stepped Into His World as the Fake Girlfriend, I Became the Real Prize novel Chapter 89

Xavier cut Sterling off smoothly.

He asked it so casually, but it sent Elena into a suffocating spiral of panic.

She wasn't an idiot. She knew exactly what "thing" he was referring to.

He was talking about her.

But Sterling was just her employer. He didn't actually love her.

If Xavier revealed their past right here and now, she was entirely screwed.

Sterling would choose his brother's sanity over a fake girlfriend in a heartbeat and hand her over on a silver platter!

"What is it?"

Sterling asked, completely unsuspecting.

Elena's heart raced as she quickly threw her arms around Sterling's waist, burying her face into his bare chest.

"Sterls, what he just said about his ex is terrifying!"

Sterling stiffened. Her damp hair was cool against his skin.

But her cheek was incredibly warm, the contrast sending a distracting jolt of electricity straight to his brain.

"I'm talking to my brother. Behave."

He patted her back before gently peeling her off him.

"No! Sterls, I just think... what if his ex already moved on and has a new boyfriend? Isn't he crossing a line?"

She asked Sterling, but her words were a pointed warning to Xavier.

Xavier still thought their relationship was real.

If Xavier truly cared about his little brother's feelings, he wouldn't dare demand Sterling hand over the woman he supposedly loved.

She wanted to test him. Was this bastard entirely selfish, or did he actually possess a shred of humanity when it came to his own flesh and blood?

Sterling immediately clamped his hand over her mouth.

"Shh. Shut up. Not another word."

He hissed, completely appalled by her suicidal audacity.

And when it did, Xavier would realize the truth.

With the way she was running her mouth, he would make her life a living hell.

Once Sterling was no longer protecting her, Xavier would destroy her, and she wouldn't stand a chance.

What kind of garbage training did she receive at The Midnight Lounge?

Basic survival in this industry meant keeping your mouth shut!

"Mmph..."

Elena tried to pry his fingers off, whining softly when he refused to budge.

This girl was going to be the absolute death of him.

He turned back to his brother. "What did you want? You know you can have anything of mine. Just name it."

Elena went entirely stiff, her eyes widening in pure terror.

Xavier drank in their intimate display from his spot on the bed.
