Alexander walked around the table to get to Xavier but Clarissa blocked his way, both of them staring into each other's eyes and Clarissa's appearing like a warning to her son.Xavier's chair shifted back as he stood up, grabbing their attention, "excuse me." he said and left."Fuck!" Alexander exclaimed, slamming his fist on the table."What was all that about, Alexander?" Don't you have self-control? Must you react to everything?" Clarissa questioned, a frown on her face as she furrowed her eyebrows at Alexander."You saw that he started it. How come I'm the one at fault?!" Alexander shouted."Because you had the option to ignore him which you didn't do," Clarissa answered."How can I sit back and let a good-for-nothing bastard insult me freely?!" Alexander pointed out, "Did you forget what he was before all this?!""I didn't. And I promise you, I'll draw up something. He won't last long here especially when he has no idea how things work in the lives of the wealthy." Clarissa state
"I- I can explain." Kelanie stammered, "I have no idea who she is!" she announced."What?! You were the one who paid me to get you the job you dumb ass bitch!" the cosplayer argued back. "You said to switch with you which I was already about to do before I got caught and you walked in. Don't dare try to blame this on me!"With that, the cosplayer charged out of the conference room and seizing the opportunity, Kelanie did the same, embarrassment coursing through her.Xavier's eyes met with the murderous eyes of Alexander who had his hands clenched into fists."This isn't over," Alexander growled, his voice low.Alexander charged out of the conference room and Xavier had Mr Thompson empty others of the room."Sir, everyone is back in their workspace as you instructed." Mr Thompson informed.Xavier sighed deeply and sat back in his seat."Are you alright, sir?" Mr Thompson asked.Xavier rubbed his temples, feeling the weight of the situation. "I'm fine, Mr. Thompson. Just dealing with th
Alexander's eyes narrowed at Kelanie's audacity, his jaw tensing as her words hit him with unexpected force. The mention of Xavier's ex-wife struck a chord deep within him, igniting a fire of vengeance. He grabbed Kelanie's wrists firmly, his grip almost bruising as he stared into her eyes, searching for any sign of deceit."You think you can manipulate me with Xavier's past?" Alexander's voice was low and dangerous. "You have no idea who you're dealing with."Kelanie's breath hitched at the intensity of Alexander's gaze, her bravado faltering for a moment before she rallied herself."And you have no idea what I'm capable of," she retorted, a defiant spark in her eyes. "I may have made a mistake, but I'm not afraid to face the consequences. Are you?"A tense silence hung between them. At that moment, they were two adversaries locked in a dangerous game, each trying to outmanoeuvre the other."I'm his ex-wife. Don't you think this, Xavier has some feelings left? Let's date. Use me to
As Xavier and Mr Thompson arrived at J&K Enterprises, he found Mr and Mrs Jenkins standing in front of the building."Is the situation that dire?" Xavier wondered, seeing as they both made serious faces while discussing something that appeared to be important.Xavier and Mr Thompson stepped out of the car and walked over to the couple, only to be given disdainful looks."What are you doing here?" Mrs Jenkins asked while her husband just kept his frown on."Did you forget that you have a fixed meeting with Mr Kaarel Constantine today?" Mr Thompson questioned."Well, I don't see him." Mr Jenkins said, crossing his arms as he adjusted his stance."This is Mr Xavier Constantine. He now works in place of his father who was to be expected here." Mr Thompson explained.Though Xavier knew he hardly needed to be introduced. These were Kelanie's parents. They're bound to already be aware of who Xavier was by now."Oh." Mtlrs Jenkins voiced, "In that case, he can go back. We do not need his or h
Xavier burst into the room, slamming the door behind him with a resounding thud. His anger was palpable, his jaw clenched as he pulled out his phone."Hello, sir." Mr Thompson answered the call."I need every information there is to get. About Kelanie Jenkins. The real one this time." Xavier demanded."Sir, this is getting out of hand. You should be focused on keeping the multiple companies handed to you by your father under your control. Since you became heir, there are naturally a lot of enemies that don't want you on top." Mr Thompson pleaded."I know all that and I am doing exactly all that. Kelanie is an enemy too and-""Sir, she is your ex-wife. I doubt she can harm the company in any way. Besides, you had her figured out and fired already." Mr Thompson persisted."Enough! I am the one in charge here and I demand you do as I sat! I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't important enough. Last time was for the company and the same can be said for this time." Xavier fumed, "Alexande
Immediately Xavier walked into the room, his heart drummed faster than ever before. He knew what they were trying to do, but what he didn't understand was why his ex-wife was now working with his brother Alex. His face squeezed, and then he banged his hand on the counter, feeling anger wash over him. The rage he felt when he was with her was something he couldn't even imagine. He knew how much of a snake those three were, and he wasn't going to let them succeed. "Fuck!" He yelled, running his hands through his hair. If only he could push the rage away, but this was the same woman who made sure to make him understand he was nothing. "She's the reason I ended up here!" He yelled, angry that she didn't stand by his side when he needed her the most. However, that was the past now. He needed to look to the future, and he needed to do that now. He was going to make sure they all crumbled. They all caused him pain and he was going to show them he wasn't a weak man as they thought. Fur
Kelanie stormed out of the room. Despite what she was wearing, he didn't even seem to flinch. She had prepared for seduction, and what she was putting on recommended that, but it didn't work out. "Maybe my thoughts earlier were wrong, maybe he doesn't even love me anymore..." She pondered, walking through the hallway to Alex's room. The mansion was a big place, and everywhere looked the same. However, going into Xavier's room was part of her plan. She wished to speak to him, to see if he was hurt, and she got her answer. He didn't even want to see her or be close to her. It was as though her presence disgusted him. "He's a different person now Kelanie. Did you expect him to open his arms to the woman who hurt him, only a fool would do that, and Xander is no fool!" Kelanie was in so much trouble that she didn't even realise that she was moving. If she was going to get her part, then she needed him to see her as before. She needed those emotions. Kelanie frowned. Howe
Kelanie blinked twice when she heard what Clarrissa said, she didn't know if she heard right. Was Clarrissa joking, or was she messing with her head? Her eyes slowly moved away from Clarrissa's face and then returned to her face again in a few seconds. Kelanie knew something was going on inside Clarissa's head, but due to how composed she was, Kelanie couldn't bring herself to guess what the matter was. She gulped, and frowned, trying to create the impression of how tough she was. To her, she knew Clarrissa would bring tests her way. "Did I hear you say need?" Kelanie scoffed. "Are you saying I have something that you need?" She asked again, but Clarrissa remained silent. There was something about the way she kept staring at Kelanie, causing Kelanie to shake inwardly. It was almost like Kelanie and Clarrissa weren't meant to be standing together. Clarrissa had held a grudge against Kelanie from the very moment she had set her eyes on her. She had seen Kelanie as one of those go
