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.

    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

    Angelica's head was on fire, coupled with the investigator who had just passed out. Luckily for her, they had just arrived at the hospital. Immediately she arrived, she rushed out of the car, and the nurses at the emergency ward immediately charged towards her with a stretcher bed. Angelica moved out of the way, heaving while the nurses helped her. “Who's he?” They asked, wanting to know if she had any information about the man, but she didn't. He was her investigator, not her husband. “Just treat him. I don't know anything about him except his name being Mike. He's just a private investigator.” Angelica explained, running after them. However, it got to a point where one of the nurses asked her to stand back. She wasn't herself. She needed to get the right information from the man, and now he was unconscious, and probably on his way to death. Angelica was shivering, and hoping that things would go well. At that moment, a nurse approached her with a booklet. “We need more i

    Angelica had stayed home for days, but she couldn't get her mind off what Oliver did. She was so pissed, and no matter how she tried to calm herself down, she wanted to get back at Oliver as soon as possible before things get out of hand. He was her ex-boyfriend and she knew exactly how he thinks. Her mind was racing, and confusion filled her mind. She was just hoping things would turn out fine. There was no doubt that she was really confused. But first, she had to get Xavier, after all, there was still Clarissa to deal with. "Xavier..." Her mind suddenly returned to the only person she knew who shared the same goal as her. She knew he wanted to bring Clarrissa down so badly, and despite the warning, Angelica was willing to get him out of there. "Trust me, Xavier. I won't let you go until you strike a deal with me. I don't care what the condition you give is about. All I know is that you have to strike a deal with me. That makes sense, doesn't it? Otherwise, you'll be stuck

    However she did it, Xavier couldn't tell, but all he knew was that he was finally freed. The police officer walked towards his cell with Angelica following him from behind with a smirk on her face. Her eyes never left Xavier as he was being released, and as soon as he stepped outside the door he felt like a free man again. "You're free to go, Mr Xavier," the officer spoke which shocked him. However, he didn't say anything. He wondered what she might have done to make the officer in charge willing to let him go even with a greeting like that. Silence filled them as they walked outside the station, there was no doubt that there was something on his mind. However, he waiting for the right moment to pour his mind out. "Get into the car," she said to Xavier and he followed without complaint. He wanted them to have a private talk once they were somewhere they couldn't be heard. As soon as they sat in the car, and was ready to move, she started the car. Once they were away from th

    “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

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.

    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

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.
