CHAPTER 2
"How much did he pay you Clara? Just what did he give to you to make you accept his proposal" he pleaded the questions trying once more to reach out to her, he slowly made his way to where she stood.
Clara turned away from him, avoiding not just his gaze this time but his questions, his pleas and him entirely.
"I'm sorry Xavierr, I can't continue with you anymore" she said.
"But why?" he asked again extending his hands to her
"I'm sorry" she said then moved away from him.
"Clara…" he trailed off
"Now that's enough!" Mr. Benjamin reprimanded Xavier immediately with a very stern glare.
"You will not humiliate my daughter in-law and your brother's wife in my sight"
Xavier was so shocked, more than he had ever been before. He was unable to do anything but watch as his life and everything he had built began to shatter right in front of him.
Clara bowed to Mr Benjamin and respectively left the room, leaving both men to themselves.
Xavier stared at Clara as she left, he stared at his father and hot tears trickled down his face. Anger and hatred begin to bubble and settle in.
He was angry at his father for everything he has done for him and angry at Clara for denying and betraying their love so easily.
Mr Benjamin cleared his throat again to grasp the attention of whatever was left of Xavier before he began talking, "Now that it is settled, I want you to double whatever it is you planned before for the wedding, invite the prime mi…"
"You have the nerve father!" Xavier yelled out as he watched his father continue to order him around like nothing had happened, like his wedding had not just been canceled.
He wanted to scream in his face, punch him until his face caved in, strangle him but he just felt so weak to do anything.
"You never care for me, all you ever do is control me like your fucking puppet and now after what you have done, you want me to continue preparations for the wedding for my brother, I have accepted that Alex can get whatever he wants, he has won but I would do no such thing as preparing for the wedding" He yelled, his chest was heaving as he tried to catch his breath, he glared at his father then left the study room.
"Come back here Xavier" Mr. Benjamin called out repeatedly but Xavier who was filled with rage ignored him.
Xavierr left the house to the garage to get his car and without a care in the world he drove off.
He had no destination in mind, he just wanted to leave that vicinity at that moment.
He was driving blindly with tears streaming down his cheeks.
*****
Xavier finally walked into a Bar he frequented all the time after driving for so long. He was dejected and with a heavy heart, he took his steps towards a table.
All he wanted to do was to drink himself to stupor and forget about everything that had happened like it was a dream.
He slouched on the bar stool and tapped the table to call the bartender.
"Your strongest drink, I need to get wasted," he said to the bartender. After a few minutes, the bartender returned with his request.
"Thank you" he said when the bartender placed his drink on the table.
He uncorked his drink and directly drank from the bottle, taking large gulps as he swallowed.
Soon Xavier requested for more drinks as he began to drink, he had really meant what he said by drinking to stupor.
"What is a Whitlock doing here in such a place?" A voice touted behind Xavier drawing his attention and that of the others available in the bar.
Xavier didn't pay him any attention and continued to drink slowly in his sorry state.
"Oh wait! He is not a 'Whitlock', he is that son of a whore who claimed to be pregnant for Mr. Benjamin " The voice called out again this time tauntingly with raucous laughter.
There was so much laughter from the bar following the remark the man had made but Xavier still remained planted to his seat .
The voice which belonged to David, his brother's personal assistant, spoke again. "Aww he is sad, perhaps someone is screwing his wife to be".
The moment he completed his statement, Xavier lost it and slammed the bottle of alcohol he was drinking right on David's face.
There was a massive uproar in the bar immediately after that and a bar fight ensued.
Driven mostly by alcohol and his frustrations, he directed them at David, releasing blows upon blows to the man even after he had fallen to the ground.
A few people tried to restrain Xavier but rather than relent he directed the blows to them as well, and soon the intoxicated men in the drinking parlor were in a heated fist brawl.
bottles were broken, tables and chairs flung at one another leading to damages and injuries.
Xavier left the drinking parlor with a broken nose , bloody lips and few minor injuries but he was done taking shit from any assholes. It wasn't his fault he was born a bastard and he would no longer receive the blame of his parents.
His sense of reasoning had become dull from the alcohol and his frustrations and anger leading him to act out without restraints.
He got into his car willing to drive home, he turned on the vehicle and revved the engines for a few seconds before he remembered there was his father and Clara at home and he did not want to meet them.
He turned off the car, took out a baseball bat and went back into the bar to drink and possibly continue the fight .
It didn't take long before he was thrown out of the bar and banned from ever entering it again and it infuriated him since it was his favorite place.
Once again he entered his car and revved the engine and just drove with no thoughts about what had happened next and the end result was him ramming into the bar with his car .
His Car went right Into the bar and destroyed the front of the establishment in a frenzy. He managed to stagger out of his vehicle, the whole place in disarray from the accident that had occured.
Just after he staggered out of the damaged bar, his vehicle exploded.
The explosion knocked him to the side of the road, he tried opening his eyes but the only thing he could see And hear were blurred lights and muffled sirens and people screaming and then he passed out

A female nurse ran into the room to him when she heard his voice and helped him sit up as he struggled."What happened? I am fine, I am fine, don't touch me" He managed to reply to her.

Mr. Benjamin asked with a low serious voice Xavier was literally surprised and disappointed at the question but then what was he expecting? That his father would believe he didn’t do it? What a hope!. They saw him as nothing more than the black sheep of the family."What do you think?" Xavier asked as he stared at the man who is more of a sperm donor than a father to him. "Did you do it Xavier?" Mr Benjamin asked again, this time with a harder tone and Xavier could hear the hinge of anger in his tone."No, I didn’t,

He looked at his hands and saw that a drip had been connected to his veins.“Ughh. I’ve been winding up in hospitals lately .“ he thought to himself. But this time around, he felt like shit. His head pounded as though he had been hit by a truck. And then the memory came flooding in.He remembered running into David and getting an envelop from him. He remembered opening the envelop and being run over by a car.“What the hell. Here I was thinking my life couldn’t get any worse”The door opened and a nurse walked in.“You’re awake” the nurse stated, a hint of relief in her voice.“ how long have I been here?” He asked impatiently “ it’s been three days sir.

That feeling was very familiar to him now as he had gone to bed drunk on many occasions. He opened his eyes and was greeted with a blinding light streaking inside the room from the window panes. He winced and sat up. That’s when he realized he was in a strange place.“Hmm. At least it’s not a hospital this time.” he thought and chuckled at his sad joke.“You’re awake”. He heard a voice sayHe turned around startled and saw a vaguely familiar face staring back at him.“Here’s some water. There’s coffee too if you’d prefer that”. The man said.“Water will do,thank you”. He replied and collected the cup from him.“Oh,you do have some manners after all” Alfredo replied with a slight chuckle.That’s when he remembered how they had met.

Mr Smith already made it clear what he thought about him during his last visit and even at his brother’s wedding reception.

The sooner we get rid of him, the better.”“Did you doubt me?” Aurora asked, sipping from her glass of wine.“I don’t exactly trust you, you know that.”“I don’t either, but we’ve only got each other. What do you think Alex is going to do to you when he gets what he wants? You know definitely that he’s not going to keep you around.”“And will you? If I help you get the company, will you not ditch me also? He’s your son after all, I’m sure that being unreliable is in your gene.”“You’ll be by my side after all this, I can guarantee that. Just, help me set up an appointment with the stakeholders and shareholders if you can. You work there so I’m sure you have your ways.”“I’ll do my best. When will you expose Alex?”“Soon.

She had never seen him so hyperactive and angry. This wasn’t normal. Aurora was right, Alex was sick.“Calm down Alex. We’re still at the office. You don’t want to draw so much attention do you?”Alex stopped and stared out the window, suddenly sullen and calm.“Fine then. We’ll need to eliminate everyone who’s after my company. Whitlock corporation cannot be buried and destroyed. Since it has been merged with Hernandez conglomerates, I have a right to it. I’ll get it by all means.”“What are you going to do?” Clara asked.“Nathaniel cannot sell this company. And my mother can’t have it either. That greedy bitch!” He fumed, grabbing on to the window blinds and squeezing it until he hurt himself.“Alex, you’re bleeding, stop it.”He looked at the cut in his hand and chuckled. “It’s been a long time since I

What if Clara was actually behind the blackmail?“Why? Are you short of cash, need money?”Clara laughed and pushed back the strand of hair that fell loosely on her face. “Who doesn’t want money? Isn’t that why you asked me to help you get your hands on Xavier’s company?”Aurora’s eyes widened and she looked around to make sure no one was listening in. “You shouldn’t say that out loud. It’s not a private place.”“You shouldn’t hide your greed Aurora, we’re the same, and that’s why I’m going to help you. But there’s only one problem though, Micheal.”“Alex?”“He doesn’t go by that name anymore.”“That’s what he told me.

How could you kill your own family?” The caller asked and let out a cackling laughter.Aurora has dropped the phone in shock and ended the call, shaking to the bone.

Did she have a good dream last night?And then she remembered.No, it couldn’t have been just a dream.

But this touch was quite different from anything he had ever seen.He sat up and pushed the velvety blanket off of him so he could get up, but he couldn’t move his legs. They seemed to be too heavy now. His head ached too and he reached up to touch it. He felt bandages wrapped around his head.What was going on? How did he get there? And where was he exactly?He laid back down and covered himself quickly but quietly when he heard footsteps outside the room. The door opened a second later and a woman walked in, a tray in hand. He peeped through his half open eyes and saw that she was dressed as a nurse. There were fresh bandages and first aid. He eased up a bit and opened his eyes.“Where am I?” He askedThe nurse jumped, startled and placed a hand on her chest. She breathed in r

She had been trying to find him for a while now and everything she did yielded nothing. She always cane to a dead end. She had already decided in her mind that her son was dead and there was nothing she could do about it. Never in her wildest dreams did she think he would do something this extreme.Changing your identity, your face and your name, that took a lot of guts and sacrifice. But she couldn’t blame him though. He didn’t want to go to jail and the only way to escape prison was to become someone else.She wanted to say so much, but she held herself back. She couldn’t risk him getting caught.Micheal looked around to make sure no one was close by. He opened his car and got in, signaling her to do the same.“I can’t risk being seen with you. It would raise suspicion for sure.”“Where have you been Son? And what did you do to your face? Why do you look like this?”“
