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
As Xavier spent his time in the bathroom, Angelica brought out the chef in her. She dashed to the kitchen and immediately began to prepare noodles. That was the easiest thing she could do. It wouldn't even take time to get ready. She chopped the onion, and other veggies, ready to stirfry the Noddles which she had just parboiled. In about fifteen minutes, it was all done, and she served it with fried chicken. As she moved towards the dining room, she halted, and her heart raced when she noticed Xaveir's presence. He came down the stairs with only a towel on and didn't seem to mind. "I think you would want to spend another week in a cell. Why are you barechested, and only a towel, seriously? Is that your seduction strategy?" She asked with raised brows and a thin smile on her lips. However, Xavier was quick to debunk her thoughts. "It isn't what you're thinking. I just couldn't put on women's clothing. You seem to forget you were having a male guest," he replied in a not-so-e
