NINE“Ok, now what if you did something really bad Xavier? Like, lie to lie to you about who he really was!?” Greg shouted from behind. He walked in sipping wine.Everyone stared at Xavier in awe until Mira burst into laughter.“Why would someone pretend to be as pathetic as he is on purpose?” Mira laughed sarcastically.“I will go to the bathroom.” Xavier said and left angrily. He stopped halfway and eavesdropped on their conversation.“I think you're right Greg, something suspicious is happening with Xavier.” Mira said.“I had this crazy thought the other day. I almost thought that ... .I almost thought that Xavier is the CEO of the Berol cooperation.” Greg stammered confused.“Huh? My wretched in-law!? Doubtful!” Mira exclaimed. She sounds unserious.“Yeah, think about it, maybe he was right outside of Berol company the moment the CEO canceled our contracts.” Greg said, convinced.“ Greg, did you hit your head? I mean, he's a nobody and definitely not!” Mira said.“Wait guys, don't
TEN“So you think you can ruin me? Xavier McKinney!? Think again! See you at work tomorrow…. Boss!” Jenny said and left.….Xavier sat at the office signing some files and business paper contracts. Just then Linda walked into his office.“Sir, someone dropped this parcel for you.” Linda said and handed him a wrapped paper with red ribbon. His eyes widened and his face fell in sadness.“Oh, Are those from Joyce?” Linda asked bitterly.“Yes, divorce papers. She's divorcing me.” Xavier said sadly.“Oh I'm so sorry. But, what are you going to do?” Linda asked.“I don't know. What can I do?” Xavier asked restlessly.“If I tell her the truth she'll know I've been lying to her.” Xavier added.“Yeah but if you don't, she'll think you've been cheating on her.” Linda suggested.“What is this about cheating?” Jenny asked, walking straight into the office. She acts nonchalant and walks in excitement.“Get out!” Linda commanded.“It's ok Linda. Jenny, what are you doing here?” Xavier asked.“Linda
Eleven“Consider it done!” Greg smiled wickedly.***Jenny paced around the office restlessly, constantly checking her bank account balance as the time was 5:00pm. She boiled in anger, she quickly dialed Xavier's phone number.“Hey Xavier, it's 5:pm.” Jenny said in anger.“So you can tell time?” Xavier responded to her…he smirked.“My bank account hasn't changed. Where's the money!?” Jenny asked, walking up and down the office.“Oh! I must have forgotten to send it to you. Oh well…go and hustle for some extra cash! Get busy in the office Miss Jenny!” Xavier responded and chuckled softly. He immediately dropped the call.“The audacity!” Jenny screamed angrily.***“Aunt Kisha, I think I found something really interesting here.” Greg exclaimed. He quickly rushed to Kisha and showed his phone.“Edward McKinney, one of the richest men in the country!” Greg announced.“Oh my goodness! And Xavier is his grandson!?” Kisha asked, taking a look.“Looks like it.” Greg confirmed.“How did we not
TwelveThe officer matched majestically close to the cushion where the bloody tissue paper is laying. He pent over to take a closer look.Xavier on the other hand was busy shaking vigorously in fear. He couldn't stop him, he shut his eyes and prayed silently.Beep! Beep! His phone rang immediately…the officer picked it up.“Hello? Yes I'm still investigating him” he said. He immediately hung up the call and left the cushion to face Xavier.“Please forgive me Mr Xavier McKinney, there's been a misunderstanding. You have a good day!” He said and left. Xavier stood flabbergasted. Like what the heck just happened right after taking that call?Xavier brought out his phone and a notification binged on his home screen immediately.With the headline “Xavier McKinney, the Berol cooperation company's newest CEO!” He read. His heart sank! “I have been exposed!” He muttered rubbing his palms together. He dialed Linda's number.“Linda, what the hell is going on?” He asked.“Mr Xavier McKinney, yo
13“Hello sweetie..” Xavier said with a giggle.“X…Xavier…I…I can't continue with the wedding.” Joyce muttered.“Huh?” Xavier’s widened.Joyce is tied around the chair, the solo tape on her mouth was loosen as she speaks on phone with Xavier. Kisha and Mira stood behind her holding the phone that was on a loudspeaker. Kisha pointed a gun at her head.“I can't,” Joyce added. She caught Kisha's deadly gaze and freezed in fear.“What? Why?” Xavier asked again. Greg smirked.“I..I changed my mind! Xavier, run!” Joyce shouted quickly on the phone. Kisha immediately ended the call. Xavier turned and faced Greg, he yanked his shirt vigorously.“What the hell did you do to Joyce!” He yelled with a red angered eye.“Hahaha…. nothing!” Greg said with a mockery tune.“Where is she!?” He barked.“You Want me to tell you? Give me $3 million….NO! $4 million!” Greg smiled wickedly.“Fine! There is $5 million in the briefcase there, take it!” Xavier said letting him go.“Yeah! I knew you were full o
14“Well, it's all yours!” His grandfather said. Xavier was about to take it when Kisha walked in with a gun pointed at them.“Mr McKinney!” Kisha said, cooking the gun.“Oh, hello Kisha.” The old man said immediately. Xavier stared at them both confused.“Wait, you two know each other?” He asked in shock.“Yes. Intimately.” The old man said.“Ugh!” Xavier responded with a disgusting face.“Well, enough of the chitchat! Thank you for getting my money ready for me.” Kisha said wickedly.“Yeah, I expected this anyway…you're always a greedy whore!” McKinney groaned.“Hmmm…. never worse than you! You know I should have married you when I had the chance. Not my stupid husband! All he did was provide debt and disappointment” Kisha said firmly.“Huh? You two dated?” Xavier asked again. His face was disgusting as ever.“Well, yeah. Back in the day, Kisha was a very desirable woman! Had to believe now huh?” McKinney added.“You know, her husband and I were college roommates.” McKinney said.“Y
15Xavier yelled angrily in the room. Joyce ran in.“What’s going on? Why are you shouting?” Joyce asked.“My mother lied to me. My grandfather never gave me up for adoption. She did!” Xavier shouted. “Why don't you go to your grandfather and ask him more about it tomorrow?” Joyce suggested.The next day, Xavier stormed into his grandfather's mansion. Philip stopped him by the way.“Mr Xavier, what are you doing here?” Philip asked.“I need to see my grandfather.” Xavier said hastily.“He’s not here.” Philip responded.“What do you mean he's not here?” Xavier asked.“Your grandfather died this morning. I'm sorry I was about to call you to inform you.” Philip said sadly.“He died?” Xavier asked.“He had cancer. It was only a matter of time.” Philip responded sadly.“Why didn't he say anything about it?” Xavier asked. “Because he didn't want you to pity him,” Philip said.“Huh? So we'd rather hate him?” Xavier asked. He felt a sharp pain on his heart.“He’d hope you'd come over.” Phil
