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
Angelica didn't know why things were like that. All she knew was that there was something wrong, and she didn't know what it was. Her heartache to see that the man she wanted so badly was already here, but they weren't on good terms. He left her in thoughts and walked away which broke her. All she could think about was him, and a solution to their current problem. She didn't want a point where they would end up fighting. Angelica was willing to strike a deal with this man and didn't need anything that would come in the way of it. She pondered for a while, and when It seemed like she was out of ideas, one popped Into her head making her smile. Since the matter was still very fresh, she had to make sure they were on talking terms before suggesting anything else to him. The next morning, she made breakfast, and when she expected him to come out of the room, he didn't. Angelica started to worry about it so much. She didn't know if she was going to do anything about it. “Go t
Kelanie dragged her feet towards the door with furrowed lines across her face. “Who's there?” She asked with a puzzled expression, finally getting to the door.Upon opening the door, her eyes widened, and she immediately changed the expression on her face.Kelanie immediately closed the door, but Alex made it impossible by placing his feet in the way.“Hello Kelanie…” He replied, his eyes staring at her boobs, before trailing back to her face.“What do you want?” She questioned with anger. Her tone was harsh, and she didn't seem in the mood for any guest.He smirked. “Well, I came here to see you.” At that moment, Kelanie gave a dry laugh. Seeing him here only made her angrier.“See me, you must be joking!” She exclaimed, crossed her arms over her chest, and scoffed angrily.Whatever she said didn't seem to matter to him at this point. Alex was far more interested in something else.“I came here to see you because you wouldn't take my calls,” Alex answered, placing his hand on the d
The dinner date Angelica planned was about to take place, and she was excited about it because she knew the important discussion they would have there.Everything went according to plan, and soon, she was getting ready.She picked out a white dress, decent, and elegant. It was endowed with beads, and she looked very pretty in it. Angelica was putting the final touches on her makeup when she heard a knock on the door.Knowing fully well who she was, she rushed up her makeup, picked all she would need, and immediately exited the room.As soon as she stepped out, Xavier couldn't stop staring, and he gently cleared his throat to get her attention because she was also staring at him in a shocked manner.It wasn't that she hadn't seen him in a suit before but he looked stunning in the one she picked out for him.“You look pretty in this dress,” Xavier said, making her smile. She didn't expect the compliment but was happy it came.“Thank you. You also look good,”Angelica replied, and he no
“Aren't you supposed to be rotting in jail?” Alex asked with a frown on his face. Kelanie was also by his side and no doubt that she had the same thought in mind.However, Xavier seemed unbothered, acting like he hadn't seen them. Ignoring them made them feel pain, and he wanted to see them feel as much of it as he could give.“Tell me what the hell you are doing here?” Alex threw another question. Veins popped up on his forehead, and his tone was filled with authority that shook the place. He was already starting to gather people's attention, including that of the workers.“Didn't you hear him, why are you here, who let you out of prison?” Kelanie also threw her question and was still looking confused.But Xavier remained quiet which only irritated Alex the more.He suddenly couldn't control his temper and was on the verge of losing it.“Calm down Alex, don't make a scene. We don't want people looking at us like we're cave people, right?” She tried to convince him, but he waved her o
“Sister?” Xavier questioned, and it seemed it wasn't only him that was puzzled about everything because even Alex and Kelanie showed the same shock. Their faces were paled, their lips parted, and their eyes darted between the two women who were now standing opposite each other. No one knew what was going on, but everyone had questions on their mind. “Angelica…!” Clarrissa finally called, and great hate could be depicted from her tone. She was frowning so much, and had this anger in her eyes no one could explain. “Wait… wait… you both are sisters?” Kelanie asked with raised brows, still shocked. Clarrissa turned towards Kelanie, and then towards Angelica who was still smiling. “Go on sis, give the young lady an answer. She wants to know the answer so badly. Maybe you should also clear the doubt of your son…” Alex couldn't believe it. “Mom, what is she talking about? Don't tell me whatever she's saying is true. She seems too bold, but, but how could she be your…” He t
“I’m serious Xavier, nothing is going on between my sister, and I. Didn't you see the look on her face?” She asked, but he pushed himself up.“See? I saw! If you didn't have anything with her, why didn't you tell me you were related to her in the first place?!” He yelled, and she sighed.Her head was lowered, and she tried her best to explain things to him.“It's not what you're thinking. If I had told you that, you wouldn't have even dared to look at me. You wouldn't have accepted my help. You would think I was helping her!” She yelled back but in a more composed manner.“Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, it's just that my sister and I hadn't been on talking terms for a while. Didn't you see, and hear the way she acted and reacted to seeing me? You should know that there's nothing between us to connect us.” There was no doubt she knew what she was saying, but the issue was did he believe her?“I don't believe you. No matter what you say right now, I can never believe you didn't int
That night, Xavier immediately began to make plans for the press, and so did Angelica. They wanted to gather as many media houses as they could just to make sure the world knew their plans to get married.“I'm calling Thompson. I need him to organise some of those media houses. I need them to be here.” Angelica didn't mind. She nodded. “I also have a few media houses I would call, and they would be here as early as 8 am, so please inform Thompson of the same, okay?” He nodded and immediately went ahead to make the call. He knew how Thompson would react if he heard his voice.“Sir, sir is that you?” He answered once he took the call. He could tell there was a sense of worry and yet excitement.“Yes, Thompson it's me. I've been freed by someone important, but I need your help.” Thompson didn't even hesitate to answer. “Of course sir, anything for you. I am willing to do anything to help you sir, I am always—” Xavier interrupted him. “I need you to gather enough media as you can find
