Love Unspoken

Alexander remained silent, lost in thought, flicking the ashes of his cigarette in the ashtray. After a moment, he gazed at Xavier and said, "Hasn't he spoken to you about this before?" "What?" Xavier inquired.

"He came to me before, and I stated my terms. Unfortunately, he refused to agree." Alexander explained. Anxiously, Xavier asked, "What are your terms, Alexander?"

"My terms are straightforward. I want ownership of all the shares of the Xavier family." Alexander replied.

At the mention of this, Xavier's pupils slightly dilated, finding it hard to believe Alexander's audacity. In a more polite way, he said he was after a stake in the company, but to put it bluntly, he was aiming for the entire Xavier family business. He practically asked for ownership of The Xavier family..

"Alexander, are you... jesting with me?" Xavier questioned.

In a calm tone, Alexander responded, "Do you think I'm idle enough to sit here and jest with you, Xavier?"

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Xavier understood why Xavier had declined. If somebody else had been in her place today-Xavier's father, for instance they would have stormed out immediately. Alexander's attitude wasn't one for negotiation but a proposition aiming for total control.

However, Xavier, being a woman, prioritized her children's lives over interests. She hesitated, saying, "Is there truly no room for negotiation?"
