It took Xavier almost a week to recover from all the injuries he had sustained from the dog bites and to his surprise, the Biller family were sending doctors to him every once in a while to check up on him. Xavier refused to see any kind intentions behind that.
To him, they were just treating his dog bites just so he would be healthy enough to work for them. There was no way the Biller family could be so kind to just treat him, there's got to be a reason and Xavier was sure it was for their own personal benefit and nothing else.And of course, Blair wouldn't stop pestering him to the extent where he became uncomfortable around her. Through out his days of recovering, she would constantly visit, behaving weird and asking him questions that made him almost freak out. She was another bunch of trouble to him and he wanted to avoid her at all cost.Today was Friday, the last day of the week days before the weekend and today was also the very first day of Xavier working for the Billers and of course the very first day he would properly plan his escape.Xavier now had his own room in the male servant area, he was given a separate room due to the fact that the room where the others occupied was filled up and he was thankful for that. That way he would escape interactions with the other servants because it would be odd if they questioned how he got here.He had just finished showering after several warnings from Madam Maeve of course. That old woman wouldn't give him a proper breathing space and it seemed like avoiding her was impossible because she appeared almost everywhere.Xavier was still trying to properly arrange himself on a black plain pants, a black jacket over a white t-shirt along with a bow tie when someone unannouncedly barged into his room.With a startle, he turned towards the door and there stood his worst nightmare, Blair.For some odd reasons, Xavier knew she would appear before him to torment him as usual and not only does he not like her, he also thought she was a weird freak. And she behaved like a spoilt brat who did whatever she wanted to and Xavier hated spoilt brats like her.Blair stood by the door, a small smile on her lips as she took in the new sight of Xavier on a servant uniform, he still looked fairly handsome in them."Good morning handsome. How was your night? Excited about working I see." She stated while stepping into the room and closing the door behind her.Xavier forced a failed smile on his lips, trying to be respectful and gave a low bow."Good morning to you Ms Blair, it was..." But Xavier wasn't given the opportunity to complete his words when a car key was sent flying in his direction.A car key?He frowned at her, wondering what the car key was for.Blair was wearing a floral chiffon dress, short and just above her knee and paired it with a black heels and her waist length brown hair was neatly coiled.She smiled even wider at him and gestured, "Follow me, you have a lot to do today." She turned around and walked out and Xavier followed almost immediately, he was left with no choice but to obey.As much as he wanted to, he couldn't defile the words of these people that had his head in an arm's reach. He just had to obey to easily get out of this place.He followed Blair till they got to the dining room where the whole Biller family was dining and having their breakfast.The moment they both stepped in, their presence was noticed and all eyes turned towards them, giving Xavier the chills and making him feel uncomfortable. But most of all, staring at them made him feel even more angry."Now you expect us to greet you, don't you?" Mrs Edna asked while slowly cutting into her steak.Xavier realizing his mistake quickly bowed and muttered a few words of greetings to them but of course, his greetings weren't even acknowledged, not that he cared.Blair quickly too her seat and settled beside her mother and started having her breakfast."Why is he here? Shouldn't he be with the other servants, working?" Preston asked, he clearly hated that a peasant like Xavier would be around the dining table and watch him eat."Please don't mind Xavier, I need him for something. Just eat and pretend like he's not there at all." Blair advised her grumpy brother and then proceeded to eat her breakfast."I'd like to know what you need him for. He should be working like the others and not lazy around," Mrs Edna said. She looked at Blair, calmly wiping her mouth with a wipe.Mrs Edna was although curious about what her daughter needed that young man for, she knew her beautiful young daughter wasn't someone who would go against her or do something out of the norm.But what was she up to?"Well, I wanted this to be a surprise for everyone and Xavier including but you all are so curious to know, I'll tell you." Blair stated, she dropped the knife and fork she had picked up and looked at her impatient and curious mother."Xavier would be my personal driver from today till I say I'm done with him." Blair declared, leaving the whole room in uttermost silence.It took Xavier a while to understand what she'd said and the moment he did, his eyes went wide in surprise.A personal driver? Was this good news or bad news?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
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
