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
Everything was going according to plan, and it took a while but they finally arrived at where they were heading. The place where they were going to mock Xavier out of plain sight. Clarrissa came down from the car with a strong look on her face, and her son followed after her with a strong look on his face as well. He was in thought, gathering the words to mock his step-brother who came to make his life a living hell. As soon as they got into the station, they were welcomed by police officers who knew and understood their position in power. "Mrs Constantine, how can we help you?" The officer asked, and she smirked. "Well you can help me in many ways, but I prefer to speak to the officer in charge of this division. Also, in private." Just then, the door to the office of the man she had just mentioned was pushed open, and an elderly man walked out of the door with a shocked look on his face. "Clarissa?" He called. However, he immediately composed himself before clearing his t
Xavier stared at her with hatred in his eyes, but she was forced to laugh. Clarrissa was loving every bit of everything that was happening, and he knew. However, he didn't want to give her the satisfaction of watching his reaction. He stared at her for a while, watching how she mocked and made jest of his situation, but when he couldn't take it anymore, he walked away, leaving her to her laughter. "At least it didn't even get to that fool, Alex's turn." Xavier muttered to himself, recalling the look on Alexander's face while he was standing behind his mother. As soon as Xavier got into the cell, his expression darkened. He slammed the wall with his fist continuously. Growls escaped his lips, filled with pain. He didn't care about anything anymore. This was what he didn't want, and now it was his worst nightmare coming to reality. His enemies were laughing over him. He thought he was prepared but yet, he didn't see the enemy's plan coming. He continued slamming his hands agai
Xavier stood there, his face as pale as he could imagine. He didn't expect to hear something like that. He never did. He was shocked to even hear it. “Murdered, what do you mean by murdered?” He asked with raised brows which caused her to pause. She knew he didn't know about this, but hearing this was something that could trigger him for now. “You heard me right Xavier. She was murdered, and I know you won't be pleased when you find out who, but I am willing to help you find whoever it was, and make them pay.” Angelica assured him more. All she wanted was his approval. She wanted him to know how serious she was to help him. “How can you even say this? Where did you get this from, how–” She interrupted him before he could finish speaking. “Join me, and I will give you all the info you need. You already know what I want. I am not asking for too much.” Her statement caused Xavier to be a little bit confused. He didn't know why she was interested in him, but he didn't trus
The lady left Xavier, she was furious. She hated whatever had just happened. She had men trailing after her. Yet, this man was quite different. “Damn you!” She screamed inside her car. She had just gotten there, but she was too angry to drive at this point. Her heart drummed like never before, and she fisted her hands slamming them against the steering wheel with anger in her eyes. “Damn you Xavier. Why can't you just see I'm the only option you have at this point? You have no one but me!” She exclaimed, anger showing in every one of her words. She was pained about his refusals. It was only a matter of time before she was able to calm herself down. Once calm, she smirked. “I know you'll need my help someday. It's very soon,” she said, consoling herself with a calm tone before inserting her car key. She quickly started her car and drove herself home. She recalled she had given her investigator some work to do, and she was expecting a reply soon. The drive was long, but s
