Kisha grieved with so much anger as Linda walked away from the stage. Murmurs filled the room from the guests. “As the new director of….” Greg said but Kisha cut him off. “Oh please! Shut the hell up Greg!” Kisha yelled furiously. “Uhmmm…enjoy the party everyone!” Greg faked a smile covering up the shame on his face. … “I can't believe Aunt Kisha did this to me…I was given that deal, babe.” Joyce cried leaning on Xavier's shoulder. “Well, that's why the Berol corporation pulled the contract.” Xavier responded by patting her back. She immediately looked up at him, wiping her tears immediately. “What? How did that happen?” Joyce asked immediately, astonished. Kisha walked to them and grabbed Joyce's hands pleading “Please my lovely niece, you have to convince the secretary of the Berol corporation not to cancel the deal…” “Me? Oh wow Aunt Kisha! Why would I help you? You lied to me!” Joyce responded, she wrapped her arms around Xavier, he held her tightly. Greg ran directly to Kisha and whisper into her ears “As the new director of the Berol corporation…” “Greg! Shut the hell up!!! Shut it! Lunatic!” Kisha yelled. Xavier's heart jumped for joy as she shouted at Greg. “Now you guys listen, Joyce is the new director obviously.” Kisha announced without hesitation. “I am?” Joyce asked, her jaw dropped from the new announcement. “Of course sweetheart! Oh…please Joyce.” Kisha begged with her two palms against the other. “Uhmm…fine.” Joyce said and out her phone, she dialed Linda's number. “Hey, Linda..I was thinking you'd give us another chance.” She said over the phone. Everyone stared steadily at her with higher hopes. “Really! Thank you so much! Thanks to the CEO!” Joyce screamed with joy. She dropped the call and faced them. “The deal is back on!” She shouted. “Oh! Thank goodness! Let's party everyone and make a toast to our latest director and my lovely niece, Miss Joyce!” Kisha said happily. “And a toast to my lovely husband!” Joyce added and everyone jammed their glasses of wine. Greg stormed off. “Thank you so much for staying with me, my love.” Joyce said and kissed Xavier passionately. “Now why don't we do this in a quieter place?” Xavier asked lustfully, biting his lower lips seductively. “Sure!” Joyce giggles, Xavier swept her off her feet and carried her upstairs. …. Sun rays penetrated into Xavier's eyes as he blinked them open, the shower was splattering, Joyce was in the shower. “Knock! knock!” A loud knock came on the door. Xavier immediately put on his boxer and rushed to the door, it was Mira. “Xavier, please you have to help me, All my money is gone.” Mira said immediately in tears. “What?” Xavier exclaimed, confused about what exactly she meant. “Ok, I gave it to some guy to invest in and he stole it.” Mira rushed her words. “And you think I can help you Mira?” He asked coldly and shocked. “Probably not, but I can't tell Greg and Aunt Kisha would kill me! So…please?” Mira asked calmly. Xavier walked into a basement with Mira behind him, his face was cold and furious as if a lion who's going to hurt its prey. He rushed to a huge man who was fixing lots of money into his briefcase. Xavier quacked his shoulder against the car boot. “Hey!” Xavier should grab his collar furiously. “What the fuck! Piss off man!” The man scoffed, trying to get off his grip. “You took money that didn’t belong to you! Give…it…back!” Xavier drawled his words. “Really? You can't prove anything dude, so fuck off!” The man smirked. Xavier strangled his neck strongly, he quickly grabbed his hair and smashed the stranger's head on the car. He groaned painfully. “Do you know who I am!?” Xavier shouted coldly. “No…I'm sorry please.” The man pleaded, holding his bleeding nose. “I am Xavier McKinney, the CEO of the Berol corporation company! You just messed with the wrong man!” Xavier said furiously. Mira stood from a far trying to hear what they converse about. “I…I'm sorry, I will return the money.” The man sobbed. “Good! Now tell her. And get the hell out of here.” Xavier said, turning to Mira who ran straight to where they were in fear. “Ok…ok…I'm so sorry ma'am, here.. here's the money and double for causing you trouble.” The man shivered, he handed her the bag of money and ran off immediately. Mira smiled sheepishly, she unzipped the briefcase and found out that the money was completed. “Uhmmm.. Xavier, what…what just happened? How come you retrieved the money so quickly?” Mira asked, stunned. “Now listen to me Mira, don't you ever tell Joyce to divorce me again!” Xavier responded coldly and left. “No, I won't Xavier! Thank you so much!” Mira shouted happily. “Now that's more like it.” Xavier smiles at himself. … Xavier got home and could hear voices of his wife talking with someone. He walked straight into the sitting room and found his wife with a beautiful woman with shiny blonde hair. “Honey.” He said and kissed his wife. “Babe, you're just in time! Meet Jenny.” Joyce introduced him to the lady sitting. The lady stood up immediately and turned to Xavier smiling broadly. “Xavier, I've heard so much about you.” She said seductively and gave him a hand shake…she lustfully scratched his palms with her fingers. “She's a friend and just moved to town, and guess what!? She is the Berol corporation company's new secretary…because the CEO decided to promote Miss Linda to the vice president of the Berol corporation company!” Joyce said happily. “Hello.” Xavier responded and walked into the room, he paced around the room restlessly. He brought out his phone and dialed Linda's number. “Why did you employ her? This could ruin everything!” He said as gently as he could. “I swear I did not know she was friends with you wife sir, what do you want me to do now?” Linda asked restlessly. “Ugh, don't worry Linda…I will handle it.” Xavier responded and hung up the call. “Darling! I'm stepping out for a while, please help me show Jenny around!” Joyce shouted from downstairs. “Ok sweetie, go ahead.” Xavier responded and breathe out. Jenny drove Xavier to the company, they alighted from the car and stood right in front of the company. Xavier feels so uncomfortable around jenny. “So. This is where I will be working?” Jenny ask flirtatiously. “Yes. I guess.” Xavier responded uncomfortablely. “Can’t wait to meet the CEO. I heard he's very mysterious.” Jenny said and Xavier shrugged. “Look, he can't avoid us forever!” Mira said angrily, she walked out of the Berol corporation company with Greg behind her. They stopped halfway immediately when they saw Xavier. “Still no luck with the CEO?” Xavier asked with a smirk. “Oh shut up!” Greg fired and turned to face jenny.”And who are you?” He asked, and he gave her a handshake. He kissed her hand. “I’m Jenny, the new secretary of the Berol corporation company.” Jenny smiled. “ That's great! Maybe she can put a good word in for you Greg, to the CEO. I have a good idea!” Mira giggles. “Ugh, why don't you come have lunch with us? Jenny?” Mira asked politely. “I will, only if Xavier comes.” Jenny responded holding Xavier tightly. “Xavier!? I won't be caught dead at the bar with Xavier McKinney.” Mira scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Then, I guess I'm not hungry!” Jenny responded sharply. “No, no of course he can come!” Greg smiled sheepishly. “What is wrong with you Mira!” He whispered harshly. “Alright, he can have water.” Mira responded and they left. …. They got to the bar and found two men arguing, they dropped their food and rushed over there. It was that same bulgar who stole Mira's money. “You?” Mira shouted. “No, Mr Xavier is not what you think. It is not what it looks like! Take it! All of it?” The man said fearfully and ran out of the bar. “Wait, why is he so afraid of you Xavier?” Greg asked. Just then, Mira collapsed. “Mira! What's happening to you! Hey Xavier, don't just stand there, do something!” Greg shouted, shaking Mira vigorously. “I will call an ambulance.” Xavier said and walked A Bit far from the incident. Jenny ran after him. “Xavier, everyone thinks you're a nobody, but I don't believe that.” Jenny said, hugging him from the back. Xavier disengaged the hug and walked away.SevenLinda walked around the company offices with Jenny showing her around the company offices and introducing employees to her.“Okay, so your job is simple, you'll just be taking calls and routing them back to me.” Linda said confidently and politely.“Ok ma'am, Do I get to meet the CEO?” Jenny asked immediately and they stopped walking halfway.“Ugh, that won't be necessary.” Linda responded nervously and they continued walking down the hallway.“What if I just…” Jenny persuaded but Linda hushed her.“You can't meet the CEO! No more questions.” Linda responded quickly. Her eyes immediately caught on Xavier who was hiding behind the door.“Let me show you to your desk.” Linda said, Jenny nodded and left with her.“Whoops! That was close!” Xavier breathed out.Linda walked away into the office of Xavier and locked the door immediately.“She is very interested in meeting you,sir. Like almost obsessed!” Linda panicked.“Yeah and I wonder why!” Xavier responded, his cell phone beeped i
EIGHT“Hey Linda, Mr Cooper, he works for us. FIRE HIM!” Xavier said furiously. He fixed his phone into his pocket and got to the sitting room, he found Mandy shaking his wife's arms vigorously, Joyce struggled with her.“ I've never liked you, Joyce. Not since college! Not ever!” Mandy said and let go of her arms.“And I know, you slept with the CEO of the Berol corporation company to get that deal. Slut!” Mandy said with a disgusting face. Tears rolled down from Joyce's eyes.Xavier walked back into the room and called Linda again “ Linda, dig up Mandy Mike's wife’s dirty secret and send it to me immediately.” Xavier said.“Got it sir. Sending it now.” Linda responded over the phone. Xavier walked out of the room.“Ladies, what's going on here?” Xavier asked.“Xavier, I know Joyce got the deal because she slept with the CEO of the Berol corporation company.” Mandy accused.“No I did not!” Joyce defended herself.“Oh Joyce, I don't blame you. I would too if I had to sleep with that e
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
6“Ugh, Enzo, you know I have a really loose tongue and I shot from the hip. Just consider what I said as hot air.” Desmond laughed like a lunatic to cover up. His mother-in-law walked around the car touching it's body and marveling in shock.“Enzo, you know plucking my eyes out right now won't change anything. Since I'm really blind at the moment, please let me keep my eyes as a decoration.” Williams said calmly. Enzo chuckled softly.“Sweetie, let it go…Just leave them since we're family, give them a break.” Lily said calmly.“Alright, I will let you guys off the hook for my wife's sake. No need to pluck your eyes or lick the tires. I just want you guys to give me a sincere apology.” Enzo said sarcastically. They nodded sharply immediately.****A man in a suit came down from the car and walked to them immediately. “Please may I know who Mr Enzo is here?” He asked.“That’s me.” Enzo said. The man walked to the car and opened the door.“Sir Enzo…please..” He said and bowed his head.
5“Here I have solved it for you!” Kayima danced happily around the room. Everyone stared at her stunned.“Lisa, kayima solved it first. You promised $100…fulfill it.” Enzo said sarcastically. Lisa gulped hard. Williams's face tightened in anger. Lisa rolled her eyes in a pathetic manner.“Dear kayima, we didn't include you in the game. It's just a cheap Rubik's cube. It's not a Big deal!” Lisa responded. She turned to Desmond quickly.“Honey, let's go to the car and get the big toy we bought.” She added and left.“That's right! Boy, drop this trash called a toy! Only poor people play with such toys. They can never afford the toys we have” Desmond laughed sarcastically and his son threw the toy right in front of kayima. They left.“Daddy! What type of toys do rich people play with?” kayima asked.“Kayima, don't listen to their nonsense. Rich people also have Rubik's cube and play with it.” Enzo responded and kissed her forehead. She nodded and smiled.“Enzo! If you don't know anything
4“Then, this medicine is really effective and not fake!” Dr Kim responded.Everyone's eyes widened in shock. They couldn't talk, they couldn't move. They were devastated to stupor. How is that possible!“Now let me Diego keep taking this medicine. Although it can't cure him, it'll at least greatly relieve his symptoms.” Dr Kim advised.“Okay thanks for letting us know.” They chorused in unison. Their response was scanty.“I will take my leave now.” Dr Kim said. He picked up his bag and left.“I will see you out.” Williams said calmly and left with him. Others bent their heads in shame.“Unexpectedly, Enzo's medicine is effective and not fake!” Rita jumped in excitement.“Effective my foot! It's just a dumb luck!” Desmond responded with jealousy.“How the hell can a common cleaner like him know a miracle doctor? Ridiculous!” Williams said entering from the door.“Hey Enzo! Why are you sitting there? There are lots of dishes to do in the kitchen! Do you want Lily to wash the dishes by
3Dr Kim checked Mr Diego's pulse, everyone gathered around them in the sitting room. Enzo's gaze frequently met with his mother-in-law’s hateful eyes.“Dr Kim, how is my father-in-law's health?” Desmond asked concerned. The doctor dropped Mr Diego's hand and sighs in tiredness.“Dr please don't sigh like that. Is he not going to be fine?” Williams asked.“I’m sorry y'all but there is nothing I can do for Mr Diego's health and illness. You'd better spend more time with him in the future.” Dr Kim responded with bitterness. Mr Diego held his chest coughing loudly, his wife and others held him sadly.“Dr Kim, can you please check this medicine if it can cure his sickness?” Enzo asked, handing him the packaged medicine. Desmond quickly snatched it from him angrily.“Dr Kim, this loser here got this fake herb from a quack Doctor and insisted that my father-in-law take them!” Desmond said with anger and a mixture of mockery. They all chuckled. The doctor took the medicine and started to unw
2“Sir, Mr Enzo is back in a luxury car!” He said happily.“Daddy!” Kayima shouted happily and rushed out. Everyone stared at each other in shock. They all got up and left for outside.“Kayima! Come here!” Enzo smiled as his daughter rushed to hug him, Lily held his hands as they walked to the others. Mike already left with the car before they got there.“Father, I came back to celebrate your birthday. Wishing you all the best.” Enzo said. Mr Diego maintained a straight and disgusting face.“Enzo, that's so impressive of you. You're now driving a luxury and expensive car!” Rita said amidst laughter.“And I bet that car is rented! Stop acting like you're that rich!” Lisa said in a sarcastic way.“Well, after laboring for a whole year, you spent your money on renting that car? Ridiculous!” Desmond whined in laughter. Enzo faced downwards, smiling softly.“By the way Enzo, you came here empty handed? You don't even bother to prepare us a valuable gift! After making some money. Indeed you
Apologize for the late update everyone...I was sick.BlurbRejected and neglected by his in-laws, Enzo works as an office cleaner…not for long. His father, the richest man in the city, got back from the states and raised his son to become the CEO of Leo's company. Enzo vows to take revenge on those that wronged him except his wife Lily and daughter Anita who stood by him.1Enzo flagged a taxi down heading to work, it's already 7:30 am in the morning and he was running late. His phone rang loudly in the car. Passengers stared weirdly at him and his tattered looking cleaner uniform. Un-ironed.“Hello.” He said not minding the passenger’s eyes on him.“Please come home early today. It's my father's birthday, remember.” Lily said excitedly.“Ok honey, I will.” Enzo replied and hung up.An unknown number called him again, he picked it up and heard his father's voice.“Enzo, I'm at the company…come over let's discuss.” Mr Leo said. Enzo's face frowned.“Why? I don't have anything to talk a
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

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.
