A personal driver? Was this good news or bad news? Xavier wondered to himself while trying to digest this piece of information.
Maybe this was good news after all. Being a driver was way better than being a lowly male servant.At least he wouldn't have to clean or serve. Neither would he get to face this annoying family all the time. But it seems someone was against this."What is the meaning of this? What do you mean by personal driver? Do you realize you are giving him a promotion when he hasn't even started working? For someone like him to be promoted to the position of a personal driver, he has to work for it. Don't be ridiculous." Preston ranted as he pointed out, it was clear he was against this sudden promotion, as he'd deemed it."You talk too much and I wasn't asking for your opinion neither do I need your permission. And this is not your father's company where you can control almost everything." Blair fired, not backing down as she stared at Preston's bloodshot with a rather calm look, provoking Preston even further."You! I'm the oldest child and you being the youngest must follow my orders." Preston shot back, stopping himself from pouncing on Blair."Now hush, I wasn't asking for your opinion, I was speaking to Mom." Blair said with an angry smile and just with her words, one could literally see fire blazing on Preston's head as he tried to hold in his anger.Seeing the communication between both sibling about him, Xavier wondered just how much hate Preston had towards him that he was this furious about him being moved from a male servant to a driver. Both positions aren't anything special anyway, so why fight?Blair then turned to face her mother and waited for the older woman to say something.Mrs Edna was quiet for a bit, a small smile playing on her lips, leaving the whole house except Mr Biller who wasn't present impatient.She picked up a glass of water and took a small but slow sip from it."Well, what can I say? My daughter picked a driver for herself. Who am I to reject that?" She asked, looking at everyone around with a smile as if expecting a response.Blair smiled and thanked her mother, feeling thankful that her mother wasn't dramatic this time. At least now she would get away from those annoying drivers her parents had assigned to her.But Preston was mad, he hated that his mother approved of that lowly being receiving a promotion. And so, he stood up and stormed out of the dining room while not forgetting to brush shoulders with Xavier, almost pushing the poor guy down.Blair finished her breakfast as usual and left the house and of course with Xavier tagging along as her new driver.Though Xavier had gotten a driver's license two years ago, this was the first time he was driving an actual car after such a long time, not to mention a luxurious car at that.He had to drive as careful as he could. The last thing he wanted was to cause an accident or scratch this expensive car that probably cost five times his life savings.As per Blair's order, Xavier drove to a designers shopping mall. It was obvious Blair was going to get new clothes, but for what?He could tell she was someone who had so much clothes in her closet, maybe it was better he minded his own business.They got to the shopping mall and Xavier parked in a good spot. Just when he thought Blair would step out without him, she ordered him to tag along with her into the mall.They got into the mall, this was Xavier's first time inside a luxurious looking place and he was very overwhelmed. Life of the rich.Almost an hour and Blair was still shopping. It seemed she was here for a particular clothes because she still haven't picked one.However, while they were shopping, Xavier caught sight of two young beautiful women walking towards their direction."Blair? Long time no see girl!" One of the women shouted and Xavier guessed they were Blair's friends.The ladies got to where he stood with Blair and Xavier watched as the women exchanged pleasantries, totally ignoring his existence when..."Who is this handsome dude?" One of the women asked, she had an extremely short orange hair and Xavier could tell she was checking him out which made him a little uncomfortable."This is my newly assigned driver," Blair responded to the woman in an orange short hair."Really? He is so hot, where did you get yourself such beautiful snack? Do you mind if I..." The woman was asking while gesturing at Xavier but Blair was quick to interrupt."No, you can't. This one is out of option, he was called personal for a reason." Blair said with a smile and the lady just nodded and accepted the fact that she couldn't get a hot Xavier.And from then on, the three ladies went around the city, shopping for random things. That was how Xavier graduated to not just being a driver but a personal assistant who carried things for the ladies.This went on with time flying and soon it was dusk, Xavier was completely tired and stressed and was hoping these women would call it a day.However, Blair had other plans. The three women sat inside Blair's car as they talked about things Xavier clearly wasn't interested in because he was way too exhausted to care when Blair suddenly said,"Let's go clubbing!" She announced and the other ladies cheered in response and that was when Xavier knew he life was over but there was more...By the time Xavier drove to the club Blair had directed him to, dusk was already fast approaching and soon night would fall.Though his body and mind were exhausted, he needed to get rid of the exhaustion and stay active for the whole time the ladies would stay clubbing.He found a good spot in the parking lot and parked the car. Without saying a word, he patiently waited for the ladies to step down and he would have the car to himself and would use the opportunity to take a quick nap.Xavier looked at Blair through the rearview mirror and could see the happy smile on her face as she tilted her head to the side to look at the club's entrance through the car's window.She looked super excited as if she had not been to the club for ages. Like a child who had finally gotten the candy, he had so much wanted.Blair could hear the booming sound of music coming from the club and happiness bubbled inside her and it could explode at any time, she just couldn't wait.She turned towards her frien
Xavier in his slightly tipsy state of mind followed the strange man who had Blair in his grasp, he tried as much as he could to meet up but the strange man was still faster.After a while, Xavier saw the man enter a room and his senses were heightened. With a deep frown on his eyebrows, he wondered what the man was up to.Were his intentions pure? Or does he plan to do something bad to Blair?Though Xavier knew he was just a driver and not a guard but Blair was handed over to him, if anything bad happened to her, he would be held accountable for it.Due to how far they've gone, the music from the club had died down and as Xavier looked to his side, passing by many arrays of doors, he wondered if this place was attached to the bar.He soon reached the door he had seen the man enter with Blair in his arms, the door was slightly open. Though it was dim and barely lit, Xavier could see inside the room was pitch dark.And without wasting further time, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Making sure not to wake up Blair, he stood up from the bed completely naked, a frustrated sigh escaped his mouth as he took in the sight of the bedroom and the state he was in.The room was littered with their clothes all around. With a swift movement, Xavier put on his clothes and would leave the room to behave like nothing ever happened.After making sure he looked normal and nothing was out of place, he walked towards the door and just when he was about to open it, the door was forcefully pushed from outside and it almost slammed his face.Xavier stood there like a statue, his eyes wide from shock. His lips moved but no words came out of his mouth.Standing outside the door was Preston, Mrs Edna and three other men and from the look on their faces, Xavier knew they must have found out what happened. Though he wondered how now wasn't the time to worry about how they found out.Preston was the first to step in and Mrs Edna followed right behind him.The moment Preston saw who lay on
SLAP! SLAP!! The sound of a palm landing heavily on Xavier's cheek resonated the whole coffee shop from the counter table, the slap was loud enough to catch the attention of customers who sat around inside the shop. "You fool! You are nothing but a piece of sh*t! How many times have I told you to be attentive to the orders of the customers?" A short potbellied man spat in rage as he vented on Xavier who stood before him behind the counter table. Murmurs and whispers filled the place as the customers witnessed the scene unfold before them. And amidst the the murmurs and whispers of disapproval towards Xavier, the pit-pat sound of the heavy rain hitting relentlessly on the roof of the spacious coffee shop filled the whole place.Now was the time Xavier was supposed to make a coffee delivery, but it was still raining and pouring heavily. He had purposely delayed in the hopes that the rain would stop soon but it didn't, if anything, it only got heavier. And that one decision of del
But as he stared at the crushed car beside him, something within him shifted, he felt a little ache in his heart, though he wanted to ignore it but he couldn't no matter how hard he tried. Memories, painful and bittersweet memories, filled his mind. He remembered the agony his parents passed through as their body got weakened while life slipped away from them each passing day till they eventually died. His heart ached as he recalled his little sister's sadness over the loss of their parents. The cries of pain and hopelessness, the memories of his sick parents, the sad expression of Joan his little sister, his painful past, they all filled his memories giving him no chance of escaping the cruel reminder of how much he had lost in his life. His family. As if the loss wasn't enough, the unthinkable and unexpected happened. He fought hard to stop the tears that pooled up in his eyes from rolling down as he remembered the day he had lost his sister, she was taken away from him by a trag
Inside a VIP ward, the Biller family sat, surrounding the bed where the head of the family laid unconscious with bandages around his head and a drip connected to his wrist.The three individuals held different expressions that was far from pleasant as they prayed and hoped for Mr Charles Biller's fast recovery."Damn that fool!" Preston cursed with a sharp intake of breath, inhaling the air that reeked of medicine. His curse words overshadowing the beeping sound coming from where Mr Charles laid for a moment. "You should have just let me deal with him personally." He pressed on as he stomped his feet on the floor, now directing his glares at his mother."You need to calm down son, there are better ways to deal with him and I would make sure of it. Right now, we have to pray for your father's quick recovery." Mrs Edner Biller explained to her angry son because that was what seemed important at the moment.The fool will be taken care of, but only after her husband's health has been stab
ONE WEEK LATER.In a dark cold room, Xavier who had been locked in here for a long time and had eventually lost track of time sat in a corner, with his head buried in between his folded legs.His loud and shaky breathing filled the place.Few days ago, he was brought in here after the interrogation session with those unknown men and due to the unending darkness inside this room, he couldn't tell how many days had passed.And the most disturbing thing was the acrid smell of gunpowder that filled the air. Where was this place? He asked himself only to be interrupted by the growling sound coming from his stomach.He was hungry and tired and most of all, Xavier was angry and filled with nothing but rage and the urge to kill somebody—maybe the woman who accused him of killing her husband.However, the sad reality was, he couldn't do anything to fight back. Not only was he locked inside in here and for days, he was powerless as a man. He held no power to defend himself, he was weak while th
The next day which was the 24th of march 2020, the Biller's manor was buzzing with servants moving left and right, decorating and preparing for today's event.The Biller family would host a party to welcome Mr Charles Biller from the hospital and for his safe and quick recovery.It's was 06:15 AM but everybody was wide awake doing one thing or the other except for a certain oblivious someone.In the servant quarters, a stone throw away from the manor, a certain someone was still fast asleep, not knowing of today's event and how busy everyone was.A female servant who was assigned to clean the servant quarters today was doing her job obediently but when she got to the male room, she noticed someone was still lying on their bed.She frowned a bit and walked up to the person, she tapped lightly on his shoulder but the person wouldn't move an inch.She leaned a bit towards him and noticed he was the new male servant that was appointed just yesterday."If he keeps slacking off in this mann
