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
He got seated again thinking of what to do. "The conference meeting might take lots of hours, I will need to take my lunch first before leaving… because I don't know how long this meeting will last." he thought to himself and got on his feet leaving his office.He stepped into the eatery and ordered a light meal which was served immediately. While gobbling on his food, he got a message on his cell phone about the conference meeting."Soon I'll be there, I'm on my way and will be with you all immediately." He soliloquized putting back the phone into his pocket.When he was through with the meal, he dropped the glass of water placed beside the plate just to see it slip off his palm."Oh my God! What the heck is happening to me…" he screamed, getting on his feet.The waitress rushed towards him with a little towel to dry the water that spilled on his shirt. "It's ok dear, you don't need to worry… I should be the one to apologise for the broken glass.""That's ok sir, it's just an acciden
look up to it… rather I will work my plans on you and make sure you will regret everything." he licked his lips in agony.*******Due to the anger in him, he arrived home and left to his bedroom without saying a word to his children.The only thing he managed is to respond to their greeting not minding if their facial expression was bright., especially that of Chloe.He twitched into his bedroom to see Lillian lying on the bed, with the way he felt he didn't bother mentioning her name nor did Lillian bother to say a word to him.He had lost his appetite already and so there's no need for dinner, so he dropped his briefcase on the table and began undressing himself.To hell with the dude he met at the conference today, if he had known he would meet Jasper he would have taken an excuse so he wouldn't attend the meeting."What brought him back to New York anyways? I thought he had left the city for goodness sake." He pouted his lips in dismay. "He's trying to see the other side of me… h
They shook their heads in unison. "Not at all, but we should be asking you that because you didn't bother to know how we're feeling and you haven't taken your dinner."He heaved a big sigh. "You won't get what's going on, anyway let the dinner be for tonight."He glanced at the dining and no-one was seated there. "Did you ever see Vanessa today?"The two shook their heads. "Nope! We didn't. It's just in the morning and we haven't seen her since we came back from school, she hasn't been present for work.""And did you bother checking on her?"Tracy glanced at Ben who was already staring at her, they shook their heads."We didn't…"He pouted his lips in an angry manner. "You two are very silly, I mean so crazy. The babysitter isn't here and you didn't even bother to know what's going on… even if it's a call you couldn't give me.""Because we know you cooperate with her so well, and maybe you spoke with her through the phone. That's why we didn't bother giving you a call about her." Tra
While waiting for the driver to arrive, Chloe sat on the sofa in the sitting room with a chiselled face, she wasn't smiling at all."Let's leave us for school Chloe." Ben referred to her.She shook her head in disagreement. "I am going nowhere unless ma'am Vanessa is present… I mean, don't you feel worried just like I am? My babysitter isn't here yet and you expect me to be happy." She narrated.Xavier stepped into the sitting room not dressed yet."What's going on here?" he questioned them.Tracy turned to see his father in his casual wear, he didn't look like one ready for work."You aren't going to work dad and Leo isn't ready to go to school. Is anything the problem? Because of her babysitter huh?`` She referred to her father.Xavier swallowed deeply. "Not as you think, you all should leave for school. There are some issues that I need to handle.""I'm not going to school today, Dad. It's better we go look for ma'am Vanessa or I won't go to school again." she insisted.Xavier glan
He shook his head in annoyance, being convinced that Vanessa is missing and he knew so well that Lillian must be behind it. He left home with Chleo to meet Lilian seated in the sitting room.She sighted his presence and quivered. The fact that the hoodlum's contact and that of her friend isn't available made her feel haunted, and then none of them was present in their residence.She stood on his feet staring at both Xavier and his little daughter."Have you reported to the police custody?" she asked them, trying to relieve herself of the fears.Xavier glared at her. "Why do you care to know?" he questioned in a hoarse voice."I just want you to know." She replied.Xavier stepped towards her. "It's a matter of time or you will regret having me as your fiance. Make sure Vanessa is back before sunset or I won't take it lightly with you any longer. Just dare me if you want to see the other part of me." he remarked and left upstairs with his daughter.Lilian stood motionless staring at th
"What do you think is the reason behind your liberty?" He referred to her.She stretched her skirt and top. "My freedom is because I'm innocent, I know nothing about what Lilian has been saying. Maybe she expects Xavier to be so rude to me because I'm his worker, but she can't care for the children under her control…"Her face lifted up staring at him. "That's why he hired me to babysit his little daughter who is missing the love of a mother."He gasped. "You mean, Lilian can't take care of the children?""I never said so, but I guess it's because they aren't her biological children. That's what I think." She replied.He stepped backwards staring at her completely. He began regretting raising his hand on her. But he couldn't apologise."Then you have to be extremely careful with her and take good care of the kids." He stated.Vanessa was so shocked to see him saying such a thing to her, she wondered the sort of spirit that occupied a space in him."Are you for real? I mean, you are th
