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

    The client Xavier was hoping on finally agreed to meet. This was the biggest deal so far, and once he was able to get it, the company would be taken to a greater height. “Sir, sorry for interrupting you, but the client has already arrived, and has been escorted to the meeting hall. We are expecting the meeting to hold soon.” Xavier raised his head, and for the first time, his attention was pulled away from the workload he had. It wasn't a workload it was the proposal he was going through again to make sure there were no errors. “It's fine. I'll be there in about five minutes. Just let me grab all I need for the meeting.” he explained, and Mr Thompson nodded. Since Xavier took over, the company headquarters in particular has gone from height to height. No one had been able to pull it down. Thompson soon moved out of the office with some of the needed documents for the meeting when he saw Xavier picking up his stuff. Meanwhile, Xavier was just trying to put things in order.

    The day for the party finally came, and different people including the staff of the company, past partners, and even the present partners he made the deal with were present. Journalists weren't left out. The place was filled with flashes of camera which didn't fail to capture every moment. It wasn't surprising that Xavier was already there when he noticed the presence of his so-called family. His ex walked into the hall of the five-star hotel where the party was held looking all expensive. She was with Alex, but they didn't seem to be on talking terms. However, Clarissa on the other hand was even more happy. She seemed glad about the partnership, and even Xavier couldn't phantom why. “Good day, ladies, and gentlemen, and welcome to the special gathering of today.” The host of the event started his words, making everyone's attention to be turned towards him, including Xavier. Xavier wanted to forget about problems for once and enjoy the moment. He also didn't want to give the m

    The voice sounded familiar. He was worried about it. However, when he turned to look at who was talking, his sight played tricks on him. “Hmmm…” Xavier hummed in approval. He didn't care who it was. All he wanted was to make sure he laid his head on the bed. His head was heavy just like his eyes. “Here you go. Let me help you.” She explained and then crossed her hands over his chest. He staggered, trying his best to make sure things were alright. There was no doubt that things were going to be alright. He immediately laid on something soft, his eyes closing. All he could recall was a very familiar perfume which was rushing through his nostrils. Xavier's eyes snapped open due to the knock on the door. However, there was a banging sensation. “Hmmm…” he groaned, feeling pain like never before. He wasn't himself. Furrowed lines appeared on his forehead. The pain was so much, and even when he tried his best to make sure he was alright, he didn't understand the pain. All Xavier

    A woman stared at the television news, not wanting to believe her eyes. Everything seemed like a movie, but in this case, it was worse than she thought. Her eyes were fixed on the screen, and her forehead filled with creased lines as she tried her best to understand the situation being displayed on the news. At first, she was watching her favourite program, but the program was interrupted by news which continued to shock her. The headlines read. “Mr Xavier Constantine, the famous owner of XCorp was arrested on account of rape.” Her eyes darkened and she tightened her grip around the glass of wine with a strong look on her face. She didn't trust whatever was going on and she wasn't someone who liked when others were being shaded. Her frowning expression didn't change a bit; she was sure this could only be done by Clarrissa. “I always knew you were desperate, but I didn't know you were this desperate,” she said before sipping the wine she had held in her hands.

    “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. Clarissa knelt on the floor watching his retreating figure. She knew her husband was a vicious business man, who had survived a whole lot of storm in his years.
