Clarissa's eyes scanned the headlines on her phone, her heart sinking as she read the news about Angelica's return. She felt a pang of pain and regret, her mind racing with thoughts of what could have been.She had thought she had moved on, that she had left the past behind her. But now, with Angelica back in the picture, all the old feelings came flooding back. The memories, the heartache, the sense of loss.Clarissa felt like she had been punched in the gut, her breath knocked out of her. She couldn't believe that Angelica was back, that she was alive. It was like a nightmare.She thought about Xavier's death. She knew her sister would want revenge against her. Clarissa's heart ached at the thought of her sister's return."Don't worry, her return doesn't mean anything. Her ally is dead, and she can't do anything about it. She's weak!" Clarrissa turned towards her with anger in her eyes. "Kelanie, you don't understand!" Clarissa snapped, her voice rising in anger. "Angelica's retur
Angelica and Xavier sat in the hospital room, their wounds healed, but their minds still thinking about the situation they went through. They had found peace in each other's company, bonding over their shared experiences.They had moved to a shed hidden in the city where no one could locate them, not even Angelica. The reason was that they wanted to keep Xavier's return a secret.Xavier's eyes clouded as he gazed into the fire at the fireplace. "I can't believe they think I'm dead," he said, his voice laced with frustration.Angelica placed a gentle hand on his arm. "It's for the best, Xavier. You were in a coma, and the doctors thought...well, they thought the worst. But we know the truth."Xavier's gaze snapped to hers, determination burning in his eyes. "I need to clear my name, Angelica. I can't just hide here forever."Angelica's expression turned cautious. "But it's not safe, Xavier. Your ex-wife...she's still out there, and she'll stop at nothing to keep you silent."Xavier's j
Xavier's eyes widened in shock as Angelica revealed the shocking truth about Clarissa's past. "What? That can't be true!" he exclaimed, his mind reeling with the implications.Angelica's expression was saddened. "I'm afraid it is, Xavier. Clarissa was indeed a maid for your mother, and she had grand ambitions. She wanted to marry your father and take over the family's wealth and status. And she was willing to do whatever it took to achieve her goal."Xavier's face darkened with anger and disgust. "So she killed my mother? That's...that's monstrous!"Angelica nodded, her eyes filled with sadness. "Yes, Xavier. Clarissa is a ruthless and dangerous woman. She'll stop at nothing to get what she wants. And now that I'm back, she's going to try to eliminate me too."Xavier's grip on Angelica's hand tightened. "Don't worry, Angelica. I won't let her hurt you. I'll protect you with my life."Once they were in the bedroom, he made her sit on the bed.Xavier's eyes locked onto Angelica's, his
Angelica's eyes snapped open, her heart racing as she gasped for air. The darkness of the room seemed to close in around her, the shadows cast by the moonlight. She had been dreaming of her sister, the memories of their last encounter still haunting her.But as she sat up, her hand instinctively reaching for Xavier, she noticed something that made her blood run cold. A movement, slight but unmistakable, came from the corner of the room.Her voice was barely a whisper as she shook Xavier awake. "Xavier, wake up. Someone's in the room."Xavier's eyes flew open, his gaze immediately locking onto hers. "What is it?" he whispered, his body tensing.Angelica's eyes never left the corner of the room. "There. Someone's hiding in the shadows."Xavier's gaze followed hers, and he sat up slowly, his eyes scanning the darkness. "I don't see anything," he whispered, his hand reaching for the bedside lamp.But as soon as the light flickered on, the movement ceased. The room was empty, the shadows r
Angelica stared at Xavier with confusion laced on her face. “What could have led to his death?” She asked Xavier who was equally clueless. He let out a sigh of frustration. “This is undoubtedly Clarissa's handwork. She had something to do with this. Could he have been sent on a suicide mission?” He voiced out. “Suicide mission? What do you mean?” He gazed into space before beginning to explain. “just like suicide warriors who carry out their missions at the expenses of their lives, there are also people who carry out illegal dealings and commit suicide to block investigative process.” “Really? Why should anyone do a job at the expense of his life? How then will he enjoy the benefits?” She asked. Xavier's phone buzzed and he picked it up to see a text from Thompson. “Sir, you really need to be at the office immediately,” the text read. His brows creased in confusion. “Is everything okay? What's the issue?” Angelica inquired, seeing the look on his face. “It's Thompson. He says
Angelica was seated at home wondering about all the things that had happened. She hadn't heard anything about Xavier since he left for the office, and has been anticipating his return home. She smiled, and fixed herself a simple meal to pass time. She had missed xander really well, and wanted to call him to at least hear his voice. She had wanted to see him. There was no doubt that there was something on her mind. Angelica was still in the house when all of a sudden she heard the telephone ring. She was shocked, wondering who could be calling the house phone? She wondered, trying to moved towards where the phone was. She carried the phone, and placed it on her ears. "Hello..." She called with raised brows. There was fear in her because she was wondering who would have called. Immediately she picked up the call, she heard a words that followed. "Hello Mr Xaveir?" She heard, and was worried about It. She wondered who knew Xaveir, and was calling the house line. "It's not Xavier
Xavier was hopeful. "That means he's recovering, right?" He asked, and the doctor nodded. "Yes that's it. He's getting better. We should be happy that he is..." The doctor added with a smile on his face. Xavier on the other hand was also very grateful. They are lost all hope about ever seeing his father again. However, he decided to be hopeful. "Can we see him at least before we leave?" Xavier asked, and Angelica found herself being interested. She agreed to him leaving, and before she knew what was going on, she was already. The doctor agreed, and they all move towards the ward where Xaveir's father was being kept. As soon as they walked into the ward, Xavier made way to his father's side with Angelica following behind him. She had this sad look in her eyes, and she seemed really tired. Her hands were shaking. She was worried about the whole thing. It was only a matter of time before they rounded up their visit, and then they walked back to the car after Dr Lee promised to do hi
In the dark room. A man was seated with a tobacco in his hands and lifted his glass of whiskey.He had a strong expression on his face, and was gulping the drink. Once he was done sipping, he placed down the drink he had in his hands, and growled.“So you said you wanted to see me?” He asked with raised brows, and the man who was standing before him, covered by the darkness nodded.“Yes sir. I need to speak to you,” his voice was shaky, and he had a lot of things he was thinking.“The operations you sent me on have been really successful in the past few weeks. After you saved me, I didn't see any reason not to trust you, or not to be able to share things with you sir,” He explained, still considering if he should speak to the man or not.“Hmmm. Go on,” He expressed, making, and he sighed.“I need you help…” The man hummed, his face focused on what was going on. He didn't care about the man in front of him.When Oliver noticed the man wasn't giving him attention, he felt really worrie
