Jeremiah's words had barely left his lips when the door suddenly swung open, revealing Xavier standing in the doorway. "What am I keeping from my wife, exactly?" he asked. He had rushed back as soon as he heard Jeremiah was there.

Jeremiah turned to see Xavier, a brief flash of coldness passing through his eyes. "Xac, you're back. I was just asking Yvette how you manage to work without being able to see." Xavier's brow furrowed slightly. "If you have something to discuss, let's take it outside."

Jeremiah finally stood up, giving Yvette a lingering glance before following Xavier out.

Snow was falling in the courtyard. The sight of the two identical men standing together was striking.

"What do you want?" Xavier demanded.

With Yvette out of earshot, Jeremiah no longer felt the need to keep up appearances. His voice was calm but edged with malice. "I've already told you I want what's rightfully mine." "Xav," Jeremiah continued, "all our lives, you've always had the best of everything. Now, you even want to take Yvvy from me. Do you think that's fair?"

Xavier let out a short, mocking laugh. "Don't blame others for your own failures. Have you ever considered what you've done to deserve this?"

Jeremiah knew Xavier was referring to the time he impersonated him.

He didn't hold back. "And now that you're blind, it's just karma catching up to you."

Tension crackled between them, the atmosphere thick with hostility.
