Xavier returned home really late. He had driven out of the house in anger but had somehow managed to calm himself down. As he stepped out of his car, he took quick steps to his room, and once he got there, he closed the door, and collapsed on the bed, heaving due to how tired he was. He went out for a ride around the city just to get the peace of mind he was looking for. Being surrounded by enemies wasn't the way he could handle it at this time. All he could think about was if things were ever going to be okay. Xavier just wished that Thompson was going to gather enough information for him by tomorrow because he wanted to know what was going on. He didn't seem to understand what was going on anymore. He didn't trust anyone except himself. “Tomorrow is the day I'll find out what you are up to, and trust me, you're going to all regret it.” He thought resting his head on the bed. The next day started a lot faster than he thought. He woke up early, and after having his bath, he
Kelanie woke up the next morning feeling a bit alright. Although she was still worried about the offer made to her last night, she had decided she wasn't going to let herself be used by that woman. Kelanie’s mind was made up. There was nothing Clarrissa would do to make her fall into the trap of working for her. Kelanie saw herself as her own boss, and not because she wanted anything else. She wanted to bring her ex-husband down and earn while doing it. “You seem lost In thought…” She had gotten up but didn't even notice he wasn't on the bed. He has a towel wrapped around his waist which means that he has just returned from the bathroom. “L-lost, no. Why would I be lost in thought?” She tried to cover up, wearing a forced smile. However, there was something about the way she was saying it that caused him to doubt. “I know I'm not supposed to care because you aren't my real girlfriend, but I think I'm cool with you, so I'm going to ask. Are you sure you're alright?” Kel
Alex's eyes widened. He didn't expect what he was hearing. He turned towards Kelanie the moment his mother said something like that. After all, the hadn't made any such plans with Kelanie and he clearly remembered what she was putting on that night. “Answer the question Kelanie, or have you finally gone dumb?” Clarrissa asked with raised brows and a smirk on her lips. “I-I don't know what you're talking about. I was–” Clarrissa laughed. “Don't tell me you think you're smart. I have a Video of you in three. Do you think I'm stupid?” Alex was more confused. He darted his eyes between his mother, and Kelanie, anger filling him. “Is what my mother saying the truth?” Alex threw another question, making Kelanie swallow. She was more worried about everything now than before. Now she knew Alex was someone who followed his mother's every word. “She can't answer because she knows that's the truth. You see what I'm telling you? She can never be trustworthy. I don't trust her, and no mat
Kelanie had been alone the past few days, and all she could do to clear her head was clubbing. Her parents had been away on a long trip and her heart wasn't settled. She always thought about ways to go back into Alex's world even if she hadn't experienced much of it. Sure now she was almost broke and was likely to go back to Clarrissa who she wasn't sure was genuine. The woman had not said anything since Kelanie left the mansion. It was almost like all her effort was for her to leave. Pacing around the empty house, Kelanie heard the doorbell which caused her to furrow her brows. She wasn't expecting any visitors, more or less her friends didn't want to see her now that she was a little below the budget. That was why she always went to clubs, looking for the right calibre of men to attract just to sponsor her constant spending. “Who could that be?” Kelanie questioned herself as she moved towards the door. At first, she was sceptical about opening the door, but when she did, she w
The details were good to Kelanie. She crossed her arms over her chest and was ready for the whole thing. “So what's the plan, and when can I get half of the money?” She asked with raised brows, making Clarrissa smile. “Get dressed. We can't talk here.” Kelanie was stunned. “You don't trust me?” She questioned further, wondering why the house wasn't good enough, but Clarrissa wasn't one to be argued with. “I do. If I don't, I won't be here. Do you understand?” She answered. Kelanie was worried. All she did was go into her room to pick a nice outfit. She was yet to know the plan, but she was ready. Kelanie searched through her closet to pick out the right outfit. She stared at her closet for a few seconds. “Perfect!” She exclaimed when she saw the perfect black dress. There was no doubt that it was going to make her stand out. It was only a matter of time before she put on the black mini-dress she wanted to wear. Next, she went to work on her hair. She made sure to brush it,
Kelanie sat down there with a serious look on her face. She wanted to know the full plan before she could swing into action. She could still recall the way he chased her out of the room the first time she tried to approach him. Also, she didn't trust Clarrissa, especially now that she had to work with her ex. She was convinced that they might both want to work against her. “We want you to make sure you are ready when we need you. Besides, your work isn't that hard. You have to make the media believe he slept with you against your will…” Kalenie laughed. It was funny to hear what she was saying. It seemed like she had planned everything out. Kelanie wanted to know more. “So how do you plan to do that? You want to drug him?” Clarrissa immediately frowned. “I think that's for me to know. All you need to do is go for the gold, make it look like what I have told you and then all will be yours…” Kelanie scoffed. “I haven't seen the alert for the amount sent. You promised me ha
The mansion had been running differently since Xavier returned home from the office about a week ago. He noticed Alex was no longer always one. He mostly went clubbing, and that wasn't supposed to be alarming. However, he kept his eyes open, watching out for anything that might be suspicious. Whenever the enemy was quiet, it meant that something was up. Kelanie wasn't also in the house anymore. He was told she packed her luggage and left. He didn't know why, but his heart didn't trust them. Xavier was still in his room when all of a sudden there was a knock on the door. He immediately furrowed his brows thereby creating wrinkles on his face. He was busy trying to figure out what the matter was. However, there was a knock on the door. “Who's there?” He asked with a stern look on his face. There was no doubt that he was confused. He had waited for a few seconds, but there was no response from whoever was at the door. That alone was able to make him suspicious. He got
Kalenie stormed angrily into the room she was given. Her hands were fisted, and she fell on the bed, screaming into the pillow. She knew that things weren't going to be easy. She wasn't even allowed into his room. However, there was a way out. Still, she needed to make sure to make the right impression. “You have to make him pity you Kelanie. You have to do it Kelanie…” She continued to encourage herself, and then she sighed. Kelanie knew he was going to open up, but she was waiting for the right time. At that moment, there was a knock on the door that caused her to raise her head. She was frustrated. She needed a solution. “Who is it?” She asked with raised brows. Her heart drummed, and she was worried about the whole thing. She pushed herself up from the bed and walked towards the door. She smiled when she opened the door to see Alex there. He had a frown on his face, and his eyes stared at her. However, there was an emotion she didn't fail to note. She could see an
