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.
Angelica noticed the little piece of paper on the ground, and it had an initial she could never forget. She was scared to death when she saw the initial and was worried about it.She was supposed to be excited about the wedding. There was someone to discuss it with, but now she seemed absent-minded. “Ma'am, are you alright? You seem disturbed. He asked with concern. He had been watching her for a while and she was sure she had been thinking about something.Angelica didn't respond to him. She was so lost in thought she didn't realise what was going on there was going on.“Ma'am!” He called, and she snapped out of thought, blinked twice, and stared at him with confusion.“I'm sorry did you say something?” Angelica tried to find out if he had been saying something.He nodded. “Yes ma'am. Mr Xavier asked me to come help you with whatever you're doing. He told me you needed help, and that was why I came here, but since I came. I noticed that since you opened the door you appeared to be
He didn't need to be paid to carry out what he had been told. He loved her so much. Yet, she was getting married to another man. He picked up his little knife and stared at the picture he had plastered on the wall. He knew Clarrissa had told him she wanted a clean job, but he wasn't sure he could do something like that. There was another man out that his woman was in love with.He wasn't sure he was going to do a clean job. He wanted to teach the man a lesson. He wanted to make sure that there was nothing left for her to look back at.He would have to end the life of the man she was in love with to make sure there was nothing to return to even when she thought about it. Satisfied with that thought, he tightened his grip against the knife, not minding if it was making him bleed. There was no four that he was bleeding way too much. He was trying his best to make sure he was calm, but the only way was to see the blood of the man she was to marry flow like he was flowing now.The weddin
Angelica was now always worried, and Xavier always caught her most times lost in thought or pondering about something, and whenever she asked him what it was, she ended up telling him there was nothing wrong.The wedding was tomorrow, but she still hadn't opened up to him. Besides that, there was nothing that could make her happy. Even when he told her about the vacation he planned, she acted like she was a bit happy, and returned to thinking.“Come on Angelica. Tomorrow is the wedding. Aren't you sure you should do something to cheer yourself up? What would people say if you go to the wedding looking like this?” He used his hands to remove the hairs from her face.“The media would think it's a forced marriage. Remember, I'm playing along, so you have to do the same right?” She nodded and then forced a smile, which he didn't trust. He knew there was something wrong. However, he didn't want to force her to say anything. He knew she would open up to him at her own pace. He was hoping
