Chapter 11
Xander always thought he was just unfortunate that only bad things happens to him. That's also what he thought about the incident Max rescued from. He had a tugging suspicion that Hermia was involved with the incident but couldn't get himself to admit that someone he loved would almost kill him because he didn't sign a divorce paper.Max also thought the same and brought it up once. He had shunned him for thinking that way because he knew Hermia wasn't brutal. To clear all suspicion he asked Max to find out. "I found what you asked for" Max announced immediately he entered the office. He abandoned the pending documents he was attending to, to meet Max halfway."How did you find this?" Xander asked as he collected the brown envelope from Max."I told you the Cage Family if powerful enough to control the court" Max replied vaguely as Xander unsealed the envelope to see what's inside.Max noticed Xander expression changed and peered into the paper Xander was staring at. He saw it, the r

The force Xanded used knocked the man out. He thought he killed a person until he found the person was still breathing.On a closer look, the person was a teenager between seventeen to eighteen. For precaution, he tied the boy's hands behind his shirt dragged him to the couch."Ouch" the teenager groaned when he woke up and saw Xander sitting across him."What a nice way to welcome your brother" the teenager said and tried sitting up then noticed his hands were tied."You must be joking. Brother?" Xander said and scoffed"Actually, half brothers. Why did you tie me up" The teenager asked wriggling his hand behind and gave up when he saw it was useless."You are a stranger in my house, how l do I know you aren't a thief or wasn't sent by Hermia?" Xander asked back as he watched the boy seat up successfully."Hermia? Who is that? Is that your puppy?" the boy asked back confused."Forget I said that. How did you get in? Do you have a key card?""No""Then how?""The same password, dad us

"Daddy!" Emily shouted ran towards her father, not minding that she would tripover. She didn't consider that as she was confident that her father would catch her and he did. Xander held his daughter to his chest and rubbed her back as she cried. He couldn't imagine how she felt when she saw him leave the house and never came back. It wasn't fully his fault as he would have been dead if Max hadn't saved him and Mike would have replaced him in her life. He squeezed her at that thought and she did the same with the little strength her hands can muster. Her tiny hands clutched unto Xander's shirt with her small face stained with tears. "Master Xander, I'm glad you are back, Emily missed you alot" Haliyah said as she watched the emotional reunion. She played with the end of long sleeve navy blue gown that reached her toes to keep herself busy while she watched.

"What did you just say?" Hermia asked, her voice dripping with venom, her eyes filled with disgust as they gazed on Xander."Nothing much, I was just telling not to quit because Emily likes her" Xander said in a low voice with was pretty much contrast to how he felt inside. He wanted to shut her up for be rude and wicked to Haliyah but he had to go with the plan. "I'm sorry, if it annoyed you"He instinctively squeezed his daughter who had fallen asleep."Annoyed me? Everything about you annoys me, disgust me. Why are you back here? I thought you left for good so I can leave in peace!" she said harshly. At this point, Mike stepped forward and wrapped his arm on her waist.Xander's had trailed on Mike's arm snaked around his wife waist. Breath in, he told himself, just a few minutes and it would be over."I haven't been home for a while and I thought you would be worried so I came home" Xander explained as calm as he could, his eyes still not leaving the arm wrapped on Hermia's waist.

He took the brief moment to give Xander a good look, who surprisingly looked normal, in contrast to yesterday.He would have said everything that happened the previous day was a dream, if the chairman knuckles werent wrapped with bandage. Xander's hair was gelled back, his regular office look, showcasing his forehead and prominent jaw line. He looked calm and this was an expression Hunter was common with after spending five years watching him.After waiting for five minutes, he decided to repeat himself. "Mr. Rinwon is here for his appointment, sir" Hunter said and no response just the crackling sound of the keyboard been tapped repeatedly. He was ninety percent sure that Xander was a computer game so he continued. "I would send him away if you don't want to see him""No send him in" Xander said, his focus still in his laptop.He heard the door open and close as Hunter left

He had successful past through the first and second flight of stairs and stood in front of his room."Finally" he breathers but he spoke too soon. He opened the door and saw his father going his study table.The man was a lot older as he had Mike later in marriage and his wife died not too long after."Father" Mike called with fear."I w as wondering if you were going to come home or run away, surprisingly, you are smart enough not to run away from your problem" his father said and Mike bit his inner cheek as he found more interest in the tile floor than his father wrinkled face.His father voice flooded with anger, "If you are this smart, how on earth did you mess things up at XL Headquarters?" the older man said and stomp his walking aid on the ground, making a sharp sound when the metal and ceramic collided.Mike body tensed and his hands instinctively went to his side as

Xander asked Hunter randomly as they had their lunch break in rooftop."My eyes never linger enough to notice" Hunter replied."I would tell you" the chairman said and leaned in. "She look pissed and I feel satisfy and thrilled" he chuckled."Where are you going with this" Hunter asked raising an eyebrow. Since Xander panic attack their relationship had moved from professionalism to acquitance. This is something Hunter appreciated because he knew his boss was closed off."I can get more satisfaction if I keep pissing her off" Xander said with a smile on his face."I thought you just wanted to get your daughter back" Hunter asked, causing the chairman's smile to be replaced with seriousness."I'm on that too. The lawyer said I need more evidence that I didn't sign the divorce paper before he can have an appeal" Xander explained and lip tilted a bit. "I the mean time I can make her miserable"Hunter shook his head before asking,

This made her wonder if that had actually happened or it was dream. It was more frustrating as she hasn't taken any drug or alcohol in almost twenty four hours. "No, you won't, right? You are just trying to fool everyone" Helena said and smiled innocently."Why won't I?" Xander asked back, stepping closer to them. "Uhm, because she has nothing to offer you" Helena answered sharply and Randy felt like smacking the rich lady for belittling her. "She doesn't have to offer me anything" Xander said confidently and her eyes burned with anger for this certain attendant with her lips still curved in a sweet smile. "She doesn't have to offer you anything because she can't but I can. They say rich men need rich women by their side, I can be that for, what do you say?" Helena said, her voice seductive as she place a hand on his sho
