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.

A lot of congrats messages were going to be seen on his phone today and that was why he didn't bother.“Sir, I think you should take this call. The number kept calling you, and I think it's important,” Thompson replied.However, Xavier didn't plan to pick up any calls today. He wanted to focus and get this over with. Besides, he knew that everything was fine. “Place it on silent mode. I have to get dressed for the wedding and still, there's nothing for me.

It was Xander's wedding day after all and he trusted that there was a time for everything so he listened and placed the phone on silent mode. He didn't mind it. However, when the call kept coming constantly, he was worried that things weren't the way they were supposed

Yet, he's taking a lot of time to achieve it.”You get looking at the phone screen, hoping he would call her, or at least send a text about the successful mission.She panicked and didn't know what to do. She didn't want to call him in order not to interrupt the mission, but she could have sworn it was supposed to be over.Kelanie ran her hands through her hair.

    Xavier didn't know what else was going on. He was trying his best to make sure things were stable, and yet he didn't understand why the police were taking so much time to get back to him. “I can't sit back here, and watch what they did without doing anything. I need help on my side because she knows a lot of things I don't.”It was obvious that was Clarrissa's doing, but what he didn't understand was why it would be so difficult to find her, and open track the person responsible for the crime.The case has become severe and needed some time to be able to cool off. It got to the point where he couldn't stay alone anymore. Even where Thompson was there to come down, he felt like there was a need to also join in the search. “Sir, what do you think you're doing?” Thompson asked with worry in his voice when he noticed his boss going towards the door. “What does it look like I'm doing Thompson?” Xavier shot back with the tone hard. “I can't stay here any longer.

    Kelanie was restless. This was two hours after she called the man she sent after Angelica, but she hadn't heard from him.As she panicked, she decided to call him this time. Maybe threatening him would do.“Hello?” She called immediately and she saw he had taken the call. “Tell me are you alright? I've been expecting your call, and since you didn't call me I have decided to be the one to make the move. What's going on, what do I need to know?” She asked, hoping there would be sensors of good news. Since the announcement of Xavier's wedding, she has become a laughing stock to All our friends, and each time she recalled their words, she wished that Xavier was already dead.“Did you hear what's going on, Kelanie? Your husband is getting married to a better woman. Someone who understands him, someone who competes with wealth. I thought you said your husband will never find someone better?” One of the women threw the question at her.“I thought this was supposed to be a girls' night out,

He couldn't believe what had happened, his boss was now in there, fighting for his life.Thompson's thoughts were a mix of worry, fear, and anger. How could this have happened? Who could have done such a thing? And why? He couldn't shake the image of his boss's pale face, the sound of the gunshot still echoing in his mind."I never want to be in such a situation again," he confessed, finally taking a seat.

She wanted to make sure those women heard from her again.Picking up a phone, she decided to speak to one of her friends who worked in the media house. The phone rang for a while, and she poured herself another glass of Champagne, waiting for Melody to pick up the call."Hello, Kelanie?" Melody replied. Seeming like she was in a haste about something. "Did you hear the news about your ex's wedding? It's been cancelled because his bride was kidnapped. I wonder who could do such a thing!" she exclaimed angrily."Yes, I heard the news and that's why I'm calling to confirm. Is it true?" Kelanie pretended like she didn't know what was happening."Of course it's true!" She explained. "Would. The new station broadcasts false information?" She asked Kelanie who wasn't interested in the matter. Rather, she was looking for the right moment to chip to a friend about the matter. "There's some

    "What do you mean by you made that news happen?" Alex asked because he could not believe what he was hearing. Was his ears playing tricks on him?He didn't even know how to understand all she was saying. Did she just tell him that, or was he dreaming? He knew Kelanie could implicate someone, but killing or something he didn't believe she could do, especially when the person in question was that ex-husband.Alex's mind raced with shock and disbelief as he processed Kelanie's words. The silence of about 15 seconds was enough to process what was going on. "How did you...?" He couldn't even complete the statement because he was still shocked. His face was pale, and his throat was patched due to the news."I don't want to believe you. I don't want to believe you kill someone. You look so innocent. I didn't even believe you could pull off implicating Xavier. How much more killing him? How did you do it?" This time his voice was even more firm. He was talking about a step and asking other q

    “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

    Camera flashed. Melody was the first to get wind of the information, someone in the Constantine’s staff had told her of the big show down that was happening. 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. Kelanie frowned, she couldn’t understand why Clarissa was still picking on her when

    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

    Clarissa ran after Mr kareel, tears flowing down her cheeks, she couldn’t believe she was about to lose everything. “Kareel, don’t do this,” she cried, pushing Angelica out of the way. 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. Clarissa knelt on the floor watching his retreating figure. She knew her husband was a vicious business man, who had survived a whole lot of storm in his years.
