After Xavier was done with his meal, he watched Vanessa pack the plates up and got them wrapped back again.He relaxed on his chair staring at the calm lady as she was in a hurry to leave. It's been a long time since he ate such a delicious meal like the one he took.Anyways, Tracy is trying her best to make the meals delicious and they are too, but it can never be compared with that of Vanessa.He can't say anything about Lilian, because since they met he hasn't had a meal prepared by her. She keeps giving one excuse or the other each time he demands to eat her meal.Not even her presence in his house pushed Lilian to the kitchen, she had insisted on not preparing a meal since Tracy can do that.This is one of the reasons he rejected her meal, he wants a meal prepared by Vanessa not her. If she minds seeing him taste her meal, then she has to do that for his children too, not because of Vanessa's presence."I'm about to leave, Mr. Xavier." Vanessa's voice drew him out of his thoughts
She was done with all she had to do and then was about to leave for her bakery.Just as she stepped into the sitting room, her eyes met with that of Lilian who sat on the sofa while the television was on but her interest wasn't in it.She glanced at her taking long steps to leave the room."Vanessa…" Lilian called her back.She paused her movement sparing her a glance, at this point she doesn't need anything that would spoil her mood for any reason."What's the problem?" She asked her back.Lilian got on her feet expressing a hostile smile on her face, her two palms transfixed on her waist as she moved towards her."You're leaving for your bakery right?" She asked her.Vanessa nodded. "Sure, that's where I'm heading to now.""Make sure you have a rethink over what I said, I'm hoping to get feedback from you soon."Nessa glanced at her and looked off instantly, there's nothing to think about this but she will have to try to."And you know what? I'm also pleading with you to leave Xavie
Lilian was seated on the bed when Xavier came in, the look on his face revealed how annoyed he felt.He pulled off his shirt and moved towards the bed, he was biting his lips while glaring at Lilian."So it has reached this extent, Lilian? You now work with hoodlums huh?" He yelled at her.She hissed and looked off at him. "What's the meaning of that question?""You just asked me that? Tell me the offense Vanessa committed that you're treating her this way? What exactly is your problem?"Lilian got down from the bed taking her cell phone with her. "I don't ever want to speak about that lady, you rejected my meal because of her and you still expect me to be happy, Xavier."She was so upset at that moment, if only he wasn't her fiance, then she might raise her hands on her. "Vanessa is just a babysitter in this home. I can't watch her take over my position or either my place in your heart." She remarked.He sat on the bed but couldn't say a word. Vanessa glared at him with much anger r
The next morning, Xavier was still lying on the bed when Lilian got up…had her shower, dressed and left the room.She didn't bother telling him of her whereabouts and he didn't bother to ask either.He has just decided to keep his eyes and ears away from her, all he needs this time is to monitor her activities in order to conclude if this marriage will work out for the two of them.After so many minutes Lilian had left the house, he stood from his bed… left for the bathroom, washed his face and brushed his teeth.He left downstairs to find Ben cleaning the sitting room and Tracy busy in the kitchen. Chloe was assisting Tracy in the kitchen too, though she wasn't doing much but keeping her company.He was so happy to see his children doing the house chores without anyone giving a helping hand, meanwhile he was so sure that they would make a good family without a woman.When he stepped out of the kitchen to the sitting room, he met Vanessa standing behind the door… she looked more beaut
Vanessa couldn't find the day interesting any longer, she was so sad towards the ring she saw in Xavier's room.She doesn't need to be told that the ring is for their upcoming wedding ceremony, her heart was filled with sorrow and anger, yet she wasn't able to give a reason behind her strange feelings.This is the first time she's acting this way towards Xavier, although she has been feeling jealous all this while but not to this extent.While busy in her oven, her mind was so deserted…she felt all the blood running through her veins had dried up.Despite the fact she had lots of customers to attend to… she wasn't happy.The day I came with a big sale but she felt sad.In the evening time, Chleo visited her in the bakery… She offered her some cupcakes and the little girl felt excited being with her babysitter.She noticed the sudden feeling in Vanessa, because throughout the little moment had spent with her… Vanessa had not smiled for once.She had known her babysitter to be a cheerfu
While they interacted, Vanessa fed Chloe herself. Just to make the little girl happy again, she decided to tell her lots of stories until she fell asleep.She led her on the bed and made sure she was covered with a blanket before she left the sofa, getting herself busy with her cell phone. The ring flashed in her mind again making her heart flip twice… this isn't what she's ready for, she is fighting within her to make sure everything about the ring is wiped out of her mind so she can be herself again, yet it keeps getting deeper and deeper.When she felt staying awake was enough, she left the bathroom and took a shower before laying beside Chloe on the bed. ********Xavier had been in deep thought since Chloe told him about Vanessa sleeping over with her for the night.He thought of what the little girl is up to for making such a request.This isn't the right time to demand such a request …all these days he had noticed something different in Vanessa. He knew the pains she had been
The door pushed open and Lilian dashed in. The expression on her face was so chiselled that he had suspected that she had been at the doorpost all this while."What did you just say now, Xavier? You love who?... You love her right?"She let out a wicked smile. "No wonder you've been acting strange towards me since I came here. So you love yet you're hiding it from me? Why not just go ahead and tell me that you are not interested in me any longer so I can make my way out of your life?"He moved towards Lillian staring into her eyes. "I didn't mean to hurt you, and the love that I'm talking about isn't that type going on in your mind, stop misquoting me…"Yes, I love her because of how assiduously she's working for me… not because I am taking her in replace of you. You just need to understand me for once."Lillian hit his cheek with her left palm. "I think it's high time I began tolerating all your deeds, now just tell me the truth. You've been having affairs with her right? Haven't you
She heaved a big sigh trying to comfort herself. "I want you to direct me to the hoodlum who has been working for you all this while.""And what the heck are you doing with a hoodlum? Are you out of your senses?"She glanced at the lady and bent her head again. "I know you are very shocked but I just need a hoodlum as it stands. I can't just sit and watch another lady take away my fiance."She nodded…"Ohh yes! When are you getting married? It's high time Xavier engaged you.""Anyways, I came over to his home… but there is this one lady working for her and she is trying as much as possible to take my place in his heart and you know what, I can't let that happen. I just need to deal with that lady so much… I need to take her away from his side no matter what it will cost.""That's not a problem."The lady stood and left into her bedroom, she came back with a piece of paper and then handed it over to Lilian."This is his contact, make sure you reach him as soon as possible and you know w
