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. The pictur
Clarissa frowned as soon as she found out the person who had called. She got tired and wanted to hang up the call when all of a sudden the call hung up on it's own, making her even more angry. “I hate you!!!” She yelled, rolling her fist over her phone. She didn't know how this woman would have called her to threaten her. Just when she thought no one knew anything about what she did except those involved, this one seemed to be smart about everything. A growl escaped Clarissa's lips, and she frowned. However, words from her son caused her to snap out of her thoughts. “Mom, you're a really smart woman. What can I say about you?” Alex asked with raised brows, and she smiled. She didn't want to share with him what she had just experienced. “Yeah, Clarissa. I've got to admit you're really smart. You made the plan so well that no one would even suspect a thing.” She nodded with raised brows. Even when she was feeling nervous about everything, she didn't know what she was doing a
