“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
Just as planned, the media reached by 8 am. Thompson arrived a little earlier, and he was more than happy. He had a lot of questions, but they had to wait until after the live session they were about to go for.Cameras were set, hairs were done, and they were looking stunning. Since it was a live session, there weren't going to be any questions for now, but after the live, Xavier knew there would be a lot of questions to answer.“Ready….” The person behind the camera yelled, and his next words were “Action!” which meant the live session had started. Xavier was seated with Angelica by her sides and since they started she had been wearing a smile.“Good morning all. I'm happy I am opportune to go live with this pretty damsel by my side.” He expressed, and Angelica flushed red.Of course, they had to put up their best acting. However, for Angelica, it wasn't much of acting because she had always admired Xavier. “I want to thank everyone so supportive of me and everything I do. Also, I
Clarrissa turned her TV and sat with troubles in her heart. She couldn't get the encounter of last night off her mind. Her sister was back, and that didn't spell good news for her. She knew the battle was on, and with her by Xavier's side, it was going to be much worse.She sipped the contents in the glass she was holding in an attempt to forget what was going on, but she couldn't.Her heart ached, seeing her sister reminded her of many bad memories, and she felt like she was about to throw up.“We interrupt this program for a very important live broadcasting to you now.”Clarrissa finally paid attention to the TV she turned on. However, when she saw it was Xavier, and Angelica on the live, her face turned dark.She felt like hitting her glass against the million-dollar television.“Damn it! What do they want to do this time?” She asked, a s quickly gulping down the last content in the glass.It burned down her throat, making her slightly close her eyes. However, she was still focused
Kelanie was just fixing herself some snacks when she heard about the live broadcast. At first, she thought it wasn't important, but then she saw it shocked the hell out of her.Her ex-husband was getting married to the pretty lady she saw yesterday. “What? How?” She asked herself again, trying to put some pieces together. Creased lines appeared on her forehead, her lips pressed tightly together. However, it seemed like nothing was working out.As she asked herself those puzzling questions, her phone rang, and when she gazed down at her phone that was on the table, she frowned when she saw who was trying to call her, Alex.He probably wanted to ask her if she had seen what was going on. Of course, she had seen it, but what was she expected to say?At first, she didn't want to pick up the call, but after seeing several calls, and his determination not to stop, she finally decided to pick up the call. “Alex, what is it?” She questioned with her face squeezed. She couldn't just stand th
“Is that all you want me to do?” He asked with raised brows, and Clarrissa nodded. She knew what he wanted, and she was determined to help him with it. “I promise to give you a lot of things. I promise to make sure you get out of this country once the deal is done. I would provide you with plane tickets, or any means of escape till you get to a destination far from here.”The man Clarrissa was talking to rested on his couch now and had a bottle of beer in his hands. He was muscular and looked handsome. Now, he was wretched.He took a huge gulp of the beer, and swallowed it, making a satisfied sound afterwards. “ How do I trust you?” He asked with raised brows, and she smiled before frowning instantly.“You don't seem to know me well. If I didn't want this job, I wouldn't come to this…” she trailed, looking around as if trying to classify the environment.“This dump!” She yelled, and even when he got offended. He didn't say anything, he was just watching everything that was going on.
