Alex was pacing around the sitting room, with a glass of whiskey in his hands. “How did this happen?” He shouted, smashing the glass against the cold hard floor. Kelanie yelped, startled by his act, she took was suffering from embarrassment at the way Alex’s father had brushed her off.He was finally getting the recognition he deserved and Xavier wants to that that away. He couldn’t get over the look of disdain his father had on his face when he tried speaking with him, what annoyed Alex more was the fact that his father smiled so broadly at Xavier like he hung the moon for him. “Alex sit down, your pacing is giving me a headache,” Clarissa said, feeling a migraine beginning to form. “why are you so calm mother? Xavier is slowly trying to lock is out of my father’s wealth,” Alex screamed. He had expected his mother to put up a fight, but her claim demeanor only sensed to provoke Alex further. “What do you want me to do, March into their room and kill Xavier?” Clarissa screamed a

The morning couldn’t come any sooner, Clarissa sat with Kelanie smiling as she read the message from the board. “It looks like Xavier would no longer be the director after all,” she smiled showing Kelanie the text. “That was fast,” Kelanie said, looking thrilled with the result. “But why are they inviting him to the meeting, can’t they just send him his termination letter?” Kelanie asked. Clarissa rolled her eyes, “it’s standard procedure and to also ensure there’s no bad press, so by Eight AM today, Xavier would no longer be CEO and Alex will be placed in his place and things can finally return to its natural order,” Kelanie was excited, she had truly hit jackpot, with Alex becoming the CEO she would have unlimited money and enough trip vacations. “And you wouldn’t be in the picture,” she thought to herself, smiling as Clarissa continued drinking her herbal tea unsuspecting of effects. For Kelanie it was going to be smooth sailing after she had taken out her enemies, she knew

Alex hid away in his room, he needed to be far away from everyone, “Alex, please open the door,” Clarissa pleaded by the door. It was almost four hours since the last time he was seen outside. Kelanie was worried, ever since the experience at the company, Alex had become a shadow of himself. “Alex, please, come out please,” Kelanie frantically begged, her eyes watering. “Call the guard, I need this door knocked down immediately,” Clarissa ordered the maid. Xavier and Angelica were filled with worry as the heard heavy pounding on the door. “Peggy what’s going on?” Angelica asked, her back aching from sitting too long. “It’s Alex, he looked himself in the room and wouldn’t open up, Clarissa is worried sick that he might hurt himself,” Peggy replied. Xavier jumped to his feet, “where are there?”Angelica ran down the stairs with Peggy running behind her, “call the ambulance, tell them it’s an emergency,” Angelica yelled out to Peggy. “Alex!!!” Clarissa screaked. Alex was slumped

“Try her number again,” Angelica said to Xavier. It was almost midnight and Peggy hadn’t returned from the hospital. The last time they spoke she said she was almost done and was ready to head home. “It’s not connecting,” Xavier replied, looking equally worried. “Maybe she had gone on a date,” Xavier tried to reason, but even he knew that Peggy wouldn’t take a step without informing Angelica. I just called the hospital, and they said she had left right after paying for Alex’s bill. “That isn’t right?” Xavier scrunched his face in confusion. “She was still hanging around after she paid, we saw her in the video call,” Xavier commented. “Something fishy is going on” Xavier said. “I know, the nurse who had talked to me sounded off, it was like she was reading off a script,” Angelica said. “We will head over there first thing tomorrow morning, there isn’t much we can do now,” Xavier said. “I’m sure she’s alright, might just be delayed in traffic,” Xavier tried to calm Angelica.

Clarissa smiled, “Angelica and t left the hospital, I am sure they will be heading over to Angelica’s office, where they would find Peggy’s resignation letter,” she announced. Kelanie smirked, the first part of her plan was coming along, now she could happily move on to the next phase. “What are you smiling about?” Clarissa asked noticing the smug look on Kelanie’s face. “Nothing to worry your head about,” Kelanie replied, waving her hand dismissively.Clarissa squinted her eyes at Kelanie, she knew she was up to something, but she couldn’t quite place her fingers on it. Clarissa excused herself, walking into her room, “she needed to teach Kelanie a lesson before she thought herself to be higher than her,” she thought opening the safe in her room. She hadn’t imagined using this information just yet, but desperate times called for desperate measures. Clarissa sent the pictures to melody, knowing that in the next hour the story would make headline on every news channel. Kelanie’s
