She wondered the sort of stupidity that came over Lilian that she would be misbehaving towards a caring man like Xavier. A type of man every woman desires to have.While laid on her bed, she began recalling the past. The first day she set her eyes on him… and how nice she had been since then.Anyways, not that she's being jealous of Xavier having a fiance, but she can't tell what's wrong with her feelings.She was already convinced that Xavier will never leave his fiance to her no matter what. Despite the fact he hasn't been on good terms with Lilian, that won't urge him to choose her between Lilian.They are already in love with each other even before she began working for him, and so she believes that nothing can cut that bond.She has nothing binding her with Xavier, and here is Lilian making different plots for her. Then when her thinking comes to reality… only God knows the hell she will do to her. She covered herself with the blanket and slept off.******When Xavier arrived ho
Lilian rang Xavier's doorbell, and he ordered her into thinking it's Vanessa. But to his greatest shock… Lilian walked in.He stood on his feet with a chiselled face. He wasn't planning to see her, and not in the morning either."Good morning Xavier." She greeted him.He only nodded. "What again are you here to do Lilian? Thought you've gotten a new lover out there that's taking care of you?"She pouted her lips. "Don't tell me you're trying to kick me out of your house. Or you've chosen someone else over me huh?""You shut your fucking mouth. I should be asking you that… you left without telling me all because I scolded you for the crime you committed. And here you're jabbering." He retorted.She gasped. "You still can't believe that I know nothing about Vanessa's disappearance huh? Look, I just had to leave because you're molesting me." "Please Vanessa… sorry I mean Lilian. This is early morning so I wouldn't love to argue with you okay." He said moving to his wardrobe.Lilian bit
"I have that feeling that she's up to something, since I couldn't let her exercise her power over you. Lilian doesn't love me, I can see it through my children… if she does, then my family will be one of her priorities." Xavier added.Vanessa was totally baffled on what to say, she doesn't know where you start in judging the matter.She had turned out to be a counsel in a family she collided to work for… not just a babysitter again."But then, what's the reason for her coming? Did you let her know that you caught her with another man yesterday?" She questioned him.He nodded relaxing on the chair. "I don't hide feelings, especially when one hurts me. I am always ready to let you know the offence you committed.""She came begging for my forgiveness.. She wanted me to accept her back, but then I wasn't the one who kicked her out. She did that herself… okay, it would have been so easy to do that, but the fact that she's cheating on me is really eating me up." He narrated in an angry mann
Joshua’s POVI straightened the edges of the suit while I stared at the mirror, I kept my eyes fixed on the man I saw standing before me.“Is this…” I paused at the sound of the door cracking open.I turned my gaze to the woman at the door which I found peeping in as though she was scared to walk in.I sigh escaped my lips in frustration, I straightened my back and spoke in a subtle manner in order not to frighten the young lady. “How may I help you?.” I asked her.I saw her shiver from her head to toe visibly. “I…” she stuttered to form a single sentence.My eyes brows rose in confusion as to what she may have to say. “I was sent by your Godmother to deliver you this note.” She bowed to me.I pinched the bridge of my nose in anger. “How many times would I correct and plead to be called by my legal name!.” I scolded in anger.It indeed felt strange to be addressed with so much respect and value, I remained the old Joshua whose wife had abandoned for a man of higher status or at least
Before the clock struck midnight, troops of guests, well wishers and distant relatives flooded into the main hall in the palace-like-duplex. It was an extravagant setting and interior design befitting a king. The liveliness in the air was similar to a mall on Christmas Eve. The occasional alone was worthy of such liveliness, everyone came in high expectations to see with their own eyes who will be celebrated as the heir. The celebration of the heir was going to last all throughout the night meanwhile Joshua knowing it was only a matter of time before the main event started decided not to be absent and approached the main hall.Joshua's PovEntering the main hall only to see the decor of the duplex walls was enchanting. “All this for an heir" I thought as I slowly approached my area of position for when the night officially began.To be honest, I felt a bit nervous, “haven't seen so many people in one place at once, maximum of what I've seen is within fifty to seventy...this– this is
Joshua speed off from the hospital premises. looking confused and as random thoughts ran through his mind."What do I do now? I can't just let her die like that, there has to be a means to save her." He whispered to himself like a man stripped off of his life without a course of direction.His foster mother who had taken care of him right from the point that he lost his parents, laid on his deathbed and the doctor was requesting for the sum of one hundred thousand dollars before he was going to raise his fingers on her case."Even though I am to save for five straight years, it would be most likely impossible for him to raise such an amount of money."But again, he thought about the one person that could help him now and that was his dare wife, Evelyn.He had established a really large business for her through a loan that he got from his bank and it was doing well lately. This was his best bet now.He drew a really deep breath and got into his scooter riding as fast as he could.Imm
Chapter 2"How dare you call me Evelyn, aren't you even ashamed of cheating on your husband ?" His voice was mixed with anger and tears as he tried as much as he could to push it back.Right before him, his whole world was crumbling and the only person that he thought had ever Loved stood before him to call him a low life."And what have you done to give you that right to call me your wife?" Her words were firm."Don't you think that question should be the other way around? After all I have done for you? Putting off with this broke ass of yours?" The anger on her face now was wide and vivid."This is my way of telling you that I am tired of putting up with a scumbag like you. Right now, what my business needs is a real man.And I have got one right here with me, Henry. In simple terms, I want a divorce already?" She walked towards her newly found lover and kissed him right on the lips shamelesslyHe turned towards the man that was beside her and held tightly to his shirt ready to beat
Chapter 3 "There is certainly no mistake here young Master, it's just me.""Was it a prank or simply a joke because it certainly wasn't funny." He thought.First, it was betrayal and then all of this. And to think that it was all happening within such a short space of time made his thoughts scattered all over the place.The man standing before him could see the reluctance in his eyes and he stretched his hands towards him once again."I know it's going to be very difficult for you to process this bit, don't worry, I am going to explain every single detail of it to you. Just come with me." His hands were still stretched out towards him.Joshua's eyes caught a glimpse of his hands and back at it first and finally, I decided that I was going to join himBesides, there was absolutely nothing worth losing there.They got into the car and it too off off slowly and the music flooded into my ears Certain thoughts clouded my mind at the moment as the driver continued to drive. Finally, they
