Kalenie stormed angrily into the room she was given. Her hands were fisted, and she fell on the bed, screaming into the pillow. She knew that things weren't going to be easy. She wasn't even allowed into his room. However, there was a way out. Still, she needed to make sure to make the right impression. “You have to make him pity you Kelanie. You have to do it Kelanie…” She continued to encourage herself, and then she sighed. Kelanie knew he was going to open up, but she was waiting for the right time. At that moment, there was a knock on the door that caused her to raise her head. She was frustrated. She needed a solution. “Who is it?” She asked with raised brows. Her heart drummed, and she was worried about the whole thing. She pushed herself up from the bed and walked towards the door. She smiled when she opened the door to see Alex there. He had a frown on his face, and his eyes stared at her. However, there was an emotion she didn't fail to note. She could see an

The day for the party finally came, and different people including the staff of the company, past partners, and even the present partners he made the deal with were present. Journalists weren't left out. The place was filled with flashes of camera which didn't fail to capture every moment. It wasn't surprising that Xavier was already there when he noticed the presence of his so-called family. His ex walked into the hall of the five-star hotel where the party was held looking all expensive. She was with Alex, but they didn't seem to be on talking terms. However, Clarissa on the other hand was even more happy. She seemed glad about the partnership, and even Xavier couldn't phantom why. “Good day, ladies, and gentlemen, and welcome to the special gathering of today.” The host of the event started his words, making everyone's attention to be turned towards him, including Xavier. Xavier wanted to forget about problems for once and enjoy the moment. He also didn't want to give the m

A woman stared at the television news, not wanting to believe her eyes. Everything seemed like a movie, but in this case, it was worse than she thought. Her eyes were fixed on the screen, and her forehead filled with creased lines as she tried her best to understand the situation being displayed on the news. At first, she was watching her favourite program, but the program was interrupted by news which continued to shock her. The headlines read. “Mr Xavier Constantine, the famous owner of XCorp was arrested on account of rape.” Her eyes darkened and she tightened her grip around the glass of wine with a strong look on her face. She didn't trust whatever was going on and she wasn't someone who liked when others were being shaded. Her frowning expression didn't change a bit; she was sure this could only be done by Clarrissa. “I always knew you were desperate, but I didn't know you were this desperate,” she said before sipping the wine she had held in her hands. The pictur

Everything was going according to plan, and it took a while but they finally arrived at where they were heading. The place where they were going to mock Xavier out of plain sight. Clarrissa came down from the car with a strong look on her face, and her son followed after her with a strong look on his face as well. He was in thought, gathering the words to mock his step-brother who came to make his life a living hell. As soon as they got into the station, they were welcomed by police officers who knew and understood their position in power. "Mrs Constantine, how can we help you?" The officer asked, and she smirked. "Well you can help me in many ways, but I prefer to speak to the officer in charge of this division. Also, in private." Just then, the door to the office of the man she had just mentioned was pushed open, and an elderly man walked out of the door with a shocked look on his face. "Clarissa?" He called. However, he immediately composed himself before clearing his t

Xavier stood there, his face as pale as he could imagine. He didn't expect to hear something like that. He never did. He was shocked to even hear it. “Murdered, what do you mean by murdered?” He asked with raised brows which caused her to pause. She knew he didn't know about this, but hearing this was something that could trigger him for now. “You heard me right Xavier. She was murdered, and I know you won't be pleased when you find out who, but I am willing to help you find whoever it was, and make them pay.” Angelica assured him more. All she wanted was his approval. She wanted him to know how serious she was to help him. “How can you even say this? Where did you get this from, how–” She interrupted him before he could finish speaking. “Join me, and I will give you all the info you need. You already know what I want. I am not asking for too much.” Her statement caused Xavier to be a little bit confused. He didn't know why she was interested in him, but he didn't trus
