As Xavier's eyelids fluttered open early in the morning, he yawned and stretched, feeling the stiffness in his muscles slowly dissipate. Just as he was about to swing his legs out of bed, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in," Xavier called out, rubbing his eyes.

The door creaked open, and Henry stepped inside, a serious expression etched on his face. In his hands, he held two folders, one thick and one lean, each labelled with Xavier's name in bold letters.

"Good morning, Mr. Xavier," Henry greeted, his voice low and respectful. "These came in for you. They are from Mr Thompson."

"Alright, just place them in the drawer there," Xavier replied, pointing to the wooden dresser at the far end of the room.

Henry nodded, carefully setting the folders down before retreating towards the door. As he reached for the handle, he hesitated, glancing back at Xavier.

"Is there anything else you need, sir?" Henry inquired, his gaze unwavering.

Xavier shook his head, offering a reassuring smi

    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.

    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.

    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

    “What do you think you are doing here?” Mr Jenkins growled. Kelanie stood shocked by the animosity in his voice. “Dad” she whispered tears flowing down her cheeks, she had just arrived the house and her father wouldn’t even let her through the front door. “Dad” kelanie called, her voice cracking as she tried to speak. “Let’s settle this inside,” Mrs Jenkins said, trying to calm the tension. Kelanie smiled softly at her mother, one thing was certain, her mother was going to make it right.“No, she can’t come in here, she has done enough already, we can’t afford such bad press now” her father hissed.Kelanie frowned, “bad press? If I do recall correctly, it was you that made me literally throw my life away all because of some image that you wanted to protect,” kelanie yelled.Mr Jenkins looked unbothered by her words, kelanie was a grown woman who knew the path of right and wrong.“yes, I pushed you I’ll admit to that fact, but you my dear have been terrible at every decision you ha

    Xavier stood with a smug look on his face. This was just the cherry on the top, proving to kelanie that he was in fact Mr kareel’s son. Kelanie looked at the paper in her hand, they had stripped her of everything. She had no Alex, no money and definitely no house to stay. “Turn on the television,” Peggy said in a hurried tone ordering the maid that stood by the corner of the living room. “Tonight we would be airing a series which is a documentary on the life of Xavier Constantine and how he had missed a bullet, and the fails of a vengeful ex-wife kelanie Jenkins.” The air hostess said. Kelanie gasped, this was what melody was trying to warn her about. This was the show melody was gathering information about her for. Kelanie’s phone dinged, “there’s no way to hide, get my money ready,” the message read. Kelanie didn’t have to ask who it was, it was obvious the message was from Mr Russell. The protection kelanie had from the Constantine name was gone. There was nothing holding hi

    Camera flashed. Melody was the first to get wind of the information, someone in the Constantine’s staff had told her of the big show down that was happening. This was bigger than she had anticipated, her mole was clearly undermanned and she was thinking for thinking ahead.Loyalty could weaver at the right price.Clarissa tried to hide her face, hoping to not be captured by the pressing as the police led her into the waiting vehicle. Mr kareel wasn’t bothered about the appearance of the press, he was in turn going to give a speech at the end of the day. Mr kareel turned his gaze to Alex who looked like he was a few seconds away from passing out. “Alex,” Mr kareel called out gently. “fa.. Mr kareel,” Alex replied, fumbling over the words. It was obvious he was about to call Mr kareel father before he quickly caught himself. Mr kareel smiled, it was sad to see Alex go through the crimes Clarissa had committed. “I will be taking nothing from you, everything you have owned, they a

    Clarissa stood in shock, her first layer of armor had been taken away. Her lawyers had barely spared her a glance, standing with their faces to the ground. “Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we?” Mr kareel said enjoying the way Clarissa looked.“This is a forensic and post partum analysis I had done on my dead wife,” Mr kareel said giving the file to Peggy to pass the papers around.Xavier eagerly snatched the paper from Peggy’s hand, his eyes wide as he read through the details listed out.Xavier’s eyes watered as he saw a picture of his mother, her hazel eyes were a shade darker than his and Xavier could tell that he had gotten his nose from his mother.Angelica’s eyes watered, seeing the dejected look in Xavier’s face. She could feel how broken he was feeling and wished he didn’t have to sit through this.“I’m here,” Angelica whispered into Xavier’s ears, squeezing his palm softly, silently giving him comfort.Xavier nodded, his throat clogged as he read through the detail

    Mr kareel had always suspected the eagerness Clarissa had, she had used his mourning period to accomplish her plans. Mr kareel couldn’t remember what had happened, and all his life, he had never been that drunk to the point of blacking out. All Mr kareel could remember was waking up to a sobbing Clarissa in a room filled with bottles of alcohol littered around. The only person to fill in the gaps had conveniently been Clarissa, she had some how convinced the rest of the maids and workers to take a day off.It was also during the period that Mr Thompson was swamped in the office, since Mr kareel was too heart broken to function.The next few weeks were a blur to Mr kareel, all he had was Clarissa and a constant headache every morning from how heavy he had apparently been drinking.It was crazy how all Mr kareel could ever recall was just the first glass Clarissa had offered, and the rest was just a blank space of nothing.Clarissa had been very careful with her actions, she kept him

    Kelanie followed Alex around like a shadow. She was scared of Clarissa attacking her again. Kelanie frowned, watching Angelica and Xavier walk into the living room. If eyes were bullets, then Xavier and Angelica would have been six feet under by now. Kelanie knew it was Angelica that had made all these plans, trying to pay her back for everything she had done. “Fix your face” Alex hissed, looking at kelanie with an unimpressed look on his face. It was a wonder how kelanie still had the energy to hate people in this situation that they had found themselves in. Clarissa sat by the corner alone, glaring at kelanie who hasn’t left her son’s side for a minute. “she needs to leave,” Clarissa growled, pointing her fingers at kelanie. “She is a serpent who has done nothing but create havoc on this family,” Clarissa hissed. “nothing good has happened since she stepped into this house,” Clarissa hissed. Kelanie frowned, she couldn’t understand why Clarissa was still picking on her when

    The house was eerily quiet.The only sound that could be heard was Clarissa sniffling in the corner of the living room.The truth was dropped like a devastating blow, no one had survived it, at least for Kelanie and Clarissa.Xavier sat quietly in the room, his eyes had a forlorn look in them, he felt nothing but pity for Alex.It was devastating how Alex was the one suffering the brunt of Clarissa’s wrong doings.Xavier wasn’t much of Alex’s fan but he could only imagine how he must be feeling.“Father,” Xavier called out in a calm tone to his father.“something is on your mind,” Mr kareel said, hating the despair in Xavier’s eyes.“What is the plan for Alex?” Xavier asked in a soft voice, worry swirling in his eyes as he looked at his father.Mr kareel sighed, he wasn’t entirely heartless, he had made sure that nothing would be taken away from Alex’s trust fund account.“he is going to be sent off with enough money to start up something,” Mr kareel muttered.Relief washed over Xavie

    Clarissa ran after Mr kareel, tears flowing down her cheeks, she couldn’t believe she was about to lose everything. “Kareel, don’t do this,” she cried, pushing Angelica out of the way. Xavier rushed, pulling Angelica to his side, shielding her from the crazed woman. “Clarissa,” Mr kareel called in a low tone.Clarissa saw it in his eyes, his mind had been made up, there was nothing she could do any longer. “We have all been victims of your lies,” Mr kareel said. He wasn’t really in the mood to talk, he had accepted the truth a long time ago, he had only refused to make the information public so that he wouldn’t he burdened by the weight of it any longer. “My lawyers will contact you,” Mr kareel hissed, storming into the room.
