"I was drunk. I'm sorry, I don't remember anything." Xavier knew it was a pathetic excuse, but it worked on every woman he spent the night with. Which one was it? He couldn't remember.

Xav knew he had to stop. But as the deputy leader - and the one doing the dirty work - he could afford at least a few hours of pleasure. It's not like he's forcing them to spend the night with him. His personality is too charming to say no.

Everything went to hell. Because of who? You. You were supposed to be the next woman to get laid, but all you did was make Xav's confidence disappear.

All he had to do was go to the library, stalk his victim, and then drag him to a dead end and eliminate. A normal day as a member of Devil’s Sons’ Day. Until he saw you there.

Why do you have to work as a librarian? Why? Xavier tried to talk to you, in every way. Literally every way. He tried to be a gentleman and even tried to make an idiot of himself. He won’t give up. His dignity won’t let him.

He’s been coming to the library for a week. He doesn’t care about his victim anymore. But you… You still don’t pay him any attention.

Is it still just physical attraction? Xav doesn’t know. He doesn’t know anything. He just wants to see you smile. He wants to get your attention. Is he asking for too much?

Xav doesn't sleep at night just to try to imagine you smiling at him. But it's too hard.

Another day - another visit to the library. He hasn't paid attention to any woman other than you for a week. Even Zayan, his boss was surprised.

He searches for you between the shelves in silence.

He touched each spine of the book with his fingertips until he felt a strange shiver along his spine. Warning sign?

He walked faster between the shelves until he finally found you standing on a ladder that will collapse in a few seconds. And you, unaware of anything, arranging those damn books.

"Guess who came here again-"

He didn't finish. At the last second, when the ladder leg broke, Xav ran to you, catching you in his arms at the last moment.
