"And what do you think you are? I already prepared the divorce settlement dumb ass. We can move over to the court already." Helana gritted her teeth.
While they all got into the car and zoomed off, he was made to endure the scorching rays of the sun.He finally got to the place with sweat dripping down from his face.There was an obvious frown on Helena's lips, wishing that she could tear him apart into two halves."What took you so long?" Her voice was like the thunderclap of lightning bolts.But he firmly ignored her harsh words. The onlookers could not help but stare at the indifference between the both of them."Isn't that the famous live-son-in-law of the Reid family?" The onlookers could not help but stare in spite.They were both washed up with hatred and jealousy as to how a very beautiful lady would get stuck with such a man in the first place."He looks even more terrible than he is described."The chatters filled his ears but he couldn't care less even for a single moment."We should get this over with already." He said turning over to Xander was already getting fed up."At least we are going to be over with this punk." They muttered.They walked into the courthouse. The sight of Richard who was more than a prominent figure was enough to pull stares.Words went round the hall. Their hearts stopped not wanting to offend the young billionaire even for a single moment.He was already given a seat before the person who was going to work with them."Would you need any drink, sir?" The guard said with a professional look on his face.A broad smile hovered on Richard's face. His cheeks were already swelling with pride seeing how he was being treated like an executive."No. That won't be necessary. I have a really expensive taste and I don't want to spoil that." He replied with a grin on his face. The security officer that had come to him grinned, his face washed up with embarrassment as he strolled away from the place.Meanwhile, Xander on the other hand was treated with so much scorn, everyone was irritated by his presence.He frowned, wanting to get over the hectic process already. They were finally called off to the receptionist's table.It was time for Xander to capture his fingerprints but immediately he placed his hands, the machine beeps red.Everyone in the hall was surprised as his stuff was not accessible. He tried again but it was also the same.There was confusion in the hall as to what was going on. He stared at his fingers."What was wrong?" He could not help it but Inquire."Could it be about what had happened previously?" He thought once again.But then, he pushed the thoughts off his head. He could not make excuses already when he didn't have evidence.Helena was already flirting with anger, gritting her teeth and pointing her fingers at him."Why isn't it working? You have done something so that it's not going to work right so that I will be stuck with you forever?" She shot a deadly stare at him.He frowned deeply, bitter that even after the years that they had been married, she could still look at him in such a way."You were here just like I am. How is that even possible?" He inquired further with a thick frown on his face.Richard got to him and held him up by his collar."Now tell me, what have you done? What stupid trick are you trying to play again this time?" He glared at him.Xander quickly pushed her hands away from him and said nonchalantly."I told you already. I didn't do anything." He responded by getting tired of the accusations for a day."Whether you like it or not, you are certainly going to get divorced with her today."Over to the receptionist that shivered under the heavy weight of his presence, he said."Can't anything be done about it?" He inquired further.Her words were as short and respectful as they could ever be, knowing the situation of the billionaire that was standing before her."I'm sorry sir. There is nothing that can be done. It has to be registered in the national bureau." She replied, shaking her head.They had to move outside for a while, to decide what they were eventually going to do.Everyone was already rejoicing outside, thinking that the divorce was already a success but it turned out that they were eventually wrong."We could not. He gave some silly excuse,She shot off from her eyes sockets that were already blazing With hatred."Fool, I knew that he was going to do something real stupid." Her hands were clenched until they popped.Richard could no longer control his anger, he sped off towards Xander and said."You thought that you were going to get away with this right? I am certainly going to make sure that you pay." But before he could finish his Statement, Xander struck his hands off, already getting fed up."I already told you that I have nothing to do with it." He replied.There was a sudden gasp throughout the whole hall as they could not believe what he just had done. "Did he just strike off Richard's hands?" Chatters went through the arena."He has gotten himself into a whole lot of trouble that he will not be able to get himself off from this one." Another voice streamed into his hearings.His anger flared up from the center of his head as the words that he just heard agitated his anger.Richard beckoned to the guards that were standing from afar and they answered his call immediately."You called sir." They said with a slight bow."I want to hear the cracking of his limbs and his hands bones. Do a bad job and you might have to face consequences." He returned.They bowed and got to Xander whose heart was already at his palms.You fool. You dared to strike the hands of our master. You are certainly going to face the consequences today." They glared at him.The guards walked over to Xander, ready to teach him a really good lesson that he was not going to forget in a really long time.But before they could get to do this, the show was stolen.Before the convoy rode the latest model Porsche drove past. Everyone was captivated by the glance of it, lost in their stare and their heartbeats shot up.Their faces were filled with expectant emotions, wanting to know who it was that was inside the car.As for Richard, his once limelight car which was nowhere to the latter was now nothing before his eyes.Anyone would be angry in this case as he gritted his teeth with anger, wanting to crush whoever it was that was inside the car with his hands.But that was until the beautiful and curvy lady that had occupied the car came off from the car.His boobs bulged out effortlessly from her body. The man's lips were far apart and dripping under the seductive aura of the lady.Soon, chatters began to go around the hall."Isn't that the heiress of the Kenneth business group?" A voice echoed.The ladies who had been gritting their teeth were soon drenched with shock. She was the most controversial figure in the hall of the city.Known to have built her family's empire within the space of two months. My heart raced as most people silently took their phones and took silent photos of her."Is Richard so rich and powerful that such a powerful lady would grace his event?" Chatters went round the place.Richard swelled with a bribe. His family was nowhere near hers and at several instances when he could steal glances at her, He wasn't bold enough even to approach her.Not like he would be allowed to in the first place, he was only going to disgrace himself.But now, she was taking the initiative to come to him herself.The smile on his face deepened."I never knew that I was such a powerful figure." He muttered to himself. "I must have been underrating myself grossly."Richard fixed his collar and straightened up, waiting for her to make his way towards him.She then came to him. Or in other words, walked past him."Miss. I am sure that you will come for me. What an honor it is for you to grace my event." He muttered.But then, she did something that sent a rampage through the arena."Came for you?" She hissed. "You must be out of your senses.Don you really think so highly of yourself?" She said with a really long hiss and walked past his as though he was some piece of shit.Richard was awe-struck, still trying to believe the words that he just heard. But thankfully, most people in the Crowd had not heard what she said."Then if he isn't here for Richard. Who could the heiress be here for?" There were chatters all over the place as everyone was eager to see who it was going to be.But they were disappointed when she Walked past their heroes and got over to Xander with a smile on her face like the rising sun ray."Finally, I found you." She said, stretching her hands towards him and everyone in the area was taken aback by shock."Xander? But how is that even possible?" Thoughts ran through their minds. But no matter how hard they tried to think about it, they still could not comprehend what was going on."Xander? How could it be that he is the one that he came for?" It was difficult for them to believe what laid right before their very eyes.The guards who were so engrossed with what they were doing and didn't realize what had been going on shot a sneer at her.Even though they were too captivated by her alluring beauty, they knew better to separate their private life from work life.Richard was certainly not the kindest of bosses.They shot a quick glance at the lady that was trying to raise their captive up and one of them held their hands."What do you think it is that you are trying to miss?" They inquired swiftlyThere was a quick gasp throughout the place. Today was certainly a day where surprises were going to roll out.She frowned. The guards didn't know who she was but nobody has ever treated her in such a manner before.Her bodyguards who noticed from their car quickly nosed their way into the place and grappled the hands of the man.Richard's security paired up and almost
Helana was stunned as she could not believe that Richard was the one who just slapped her, siding a stranger over her."Do you realize who that is? The heiress of the Jade family?" Richard thundered.The words were like a sudden stab right through her heart as she could not believe that it was someone that powerful."But what's she doing with Xander?" She shivered even harder."We want to go and get a meal," Lina responded with a smirk on her face.The war could be equated to a flash of lightning bolts running through the spine of everyone present.They still thought that she might be joking about that. But having dinner with the Almighty Jade's family was something that all of~~~~ them that were present there were going to die for.Helana shivered, knowing just how much trouble she had gotten herself into. If the Jade family wanted you dead, they were going to do it and nobody was nobody finds out anything about it.She understood why Richard did what he did now. Even if she was in h
"Do your worst." Lina stood her ground, getting her even more angry than she was already.The rate of their racing hearts seemed to increase, the silence an impending emblem of their rivalry. Xander could already tell that there was going to be a way there for sure. One that they might not be able to control."Get me the manager." The lobby manager turned over to the guard.She shuddered before going ahead with the message that he had been instructed to be. Besides, who wasn't going to be, he was the beginning of all the duels in the first place."Let's see what you are going to look like when coming out of jail." The lobby manager was jealous of her looks, getting her on the edge even more."The question should be who is going to go to that jail instead," Lina replied with a wicked smile on her face.Soon, Mrs. Williams walked into the place and walked up to the lobby manager."Honey, is there a problem?" He said.Lina's eyes bulged, this was certainly going to be interesting for s
The stink of fear and dominance was evident in the room. They had offended someone that they shouldn't have been dear to."We will do anything ma'am. Just spare our lives." They continued to plead.Lina's facial expression flinched, and her hands crawled inwards. They weren't worth wasting her time on. But that didn't mean that she was going to let them go."Mr. Williams." She called out and the boss shivered."Yes! Yes! Miss Lina." He stuttered."Is there any vacation in the cleaning department?" She emphasized and he nodded his head rapidly.Even though there was none, okay would be created immediately just because she was the one who requested it."That's good." Lina smiled slightly walking over to the two couples that were clinging to the floor, their faces washed up with fear."I'm being generous today, how will you like the job of a cleaner?" Lina directed her questions towards Mr. Welson.The drop of sweat on his face soon coupled into a large stream as he shivered at the breat
Xander's heart continued to race. From the way that Lina looked at them, he could tell that the alcohol was beginning to wear off completely.She could at least sense exactly what was going on.Mrs. Jane was one that she was tasked with right after the death of her parents. Her Uncle's wife, James.Even though Mr. Jane never liked her, there was nothing that could be done about it since right after the death of her parents, her grandfather, the Patron of the family, had tasked them with her care.And this ripped Mrs. Jones's heart even more, she was more loved and carried more air of grace than all her other children, fueling her hate and anger even more."Lina? Do you just decide to go about into the slum picking up people and bringing them into the family's Villa?" Her words were likened to the sharp edges of a sword piercing through the heart.The frown that appeared on Lina's face afterward was inevitable.Lina knew that it was her fault and could not allow only Xander to take th
It was going to be a really big insult to Lina if Xander accepted such money and even though he needed it, he pushed it backward to the old man and said. "I can't accept your money, sir." He replied politely.They tried to persuade him but he would not move away from his stance.Mr. James thought it was going to be easy for him after all and this made him frown deeply.Xander was just like his niece. Extremely stubborn. No wonder they were able to find themselves and get along so easily in the first place.But he was not going to sit back and watch them spoil their plans. But after the long time that it had taken them to plot it out.He leaned forward with an irritated look on his face, having the intention to scare Xander away who continued to stare right into his eyes without a bulge.He was one of the most confident people that he had meant who would dare to stare right into his eyes. Even as a poor man that he was.'Maybe he is just trying to act strong just because he is intendin
"How can you make him come up with the man of that root when we barely know anything about it?" The frown on Lina's face knew no bounds.She never thought that her uncle was going to resort to such a means to achieve his aims. Regrets washed over her, for allowing Xander to take up the challenge in the first place."There was no rule to the game right?" The grin on Mr. James's face was one that spoke of pure evil.Lina clenched her teeth, wishing that she could take the root off the floor and snatch it right on the floor so that it was going to shatter.Mr. James smiled because there was certainly no way that he was going to get it correctly. And this way, he was going to be out of their lives forever.In the real sense, he saw Xander as the biggest fool of the century, thinking that he was going to win a fight with the lord of cunningness.The Initial smile on his face broadened even more to the extent that he could not hold it anymore."You can still back down now and leave. But I
"What did you just say?" James inquired in such a manner that got Vincent confused.He could easily tell that something was happening there but he seemed to be the only one in the dark."He simple language, you lost." Xander interpreted with a smirk that was enough to get anyone angry but instead, Mr. James was still imprisoned in the dark realms of his shock. As a loud drum sucked deep down into his body system, he could hear the faint banging of his heart growing louder with an increased velocity.Neither was he ready to accept defeat either way. But it seemed this Xander of a kid just found a way to gag it down his throat.This increased his anger and hatred towards Xander who he now saw as a force to reckon with and do away with as soon as it was possible."I'm sure that he cheated, there is no way that he could have gotten the answers correct, I made sure of that." Mr. James quickly sprouted out.Not only was he going to be disgraced by losing a bet to such a slimy punk. But als
