Kelanie was drunk, but that wasn’t a new thing, it seems after they had discovered Xavier and Angelica’s union, Clarissa and Alex had abandoned her. “I gave you everything and this is how you pay me,” she muttered, slamming the empty glass on the counter. Her parents had cut her off, Kelanie’s eyes watered as she remembered the embarrassing moment. “What are you doing here?” Her father has shouted immediately she walked into the courtyard. Everyone has turned to see what the ruckus was all about. “Honey, let’s talk inside,” Mrs. Jenkins tried to persuade her husband. Her eyes darting around as she noticed how everyone seemed to be invested in their affair. “Dad” Kelanie cried, her lips wobbling as she took in the look of hatred in her father’s eyes. “Don’t you dare call me father,” Mr. Jenkins screamed. Kelanie could hear a few snickers around them. “you have been nothing but a disgrace to this family, you abandoned your husband Xavier,” her father continued to shout. Her fa
“Doctor Lee, thank you for coming in” Xavier greeted the doctor, shaking his hand.“It was no issue, I was just doing my routine checks,” the doctor replied.“We won’t take much of your time as this is a matter of urgency and time,” Angelica stated.“I want us to move my father out of this hospital as soon as possible,” Xavier said.“Why? Is there an issue? I had just ensured his room is guarded by 3 trusted security personnel’s,” doctor Lee said.“I know doctor, but I have reason to believe that my father in law is born safe here,” angelica cut in, her eyes in worry.“You might not understand this now, but right now we have a lot of enemies than friends and we need to ensure that our loved ones aren’t caught in the cross fire,” angelica explained.“okay, I understand but how soon do you want to take him out?” the doctor questioned.“I was thinking tonight,” Angelica replied.The doctor tsked, “tonight won’t be possible, tomorrow afternoon is better, I need to get the final results b
“Mother, what is going on, why is the alarm buzzing so loudly,” Alex groaned, stirring from his slumber.Clarissa had a wide grin on her face, “nothing of importance, honey, the alarm is a sign that things are working perfectly,” she muttered.Alex’s brows furrowed in confusion at his mother’s cryptic reply, “what did you do?” He asked.Clarissa just smiled, “in future you will understand that everything I am doing for you is for your good,” she murmured to herself.“you only have to trust me Alex,” Clarissa said in a firm tone. Alex quickly bit his tongue like a child chided by his mother.“If she said I shouldn’t worry, then there is certainly no need to panic,” he thought.“have you seen my phone? I need to call the office,” Alex asked, his hands parting around the bed, in search of his phone.“Oh it’s right here,” Clarissa replied, pulling his phone out of her purse.“Why were you with my phone mum?” Alex asked, looking at her with a wary eye.“I didn’t snoop id that’s what you ar
Even with all the palms Angelica had made, she couldn’t stop the weird feeling in her gut.“Hey, where are you going?” Xavier asked, his voice husky from sleep.“I have a few things to do, I’m just getting a head start,” Angelica replied, deflecting from saying the actual truth.Xavier sighed, he could tell she wasn’t being truthful and he hated that he was incapable of fighting for her.“I just finished talking to Mr. Thompson,” Xavier said.“He said they are all settled in nice, and that I should focus on getting better,” Xavier added.Angelica smiled at that, the main reason she had requested for the meeting to be far from the hospital was because she wanted to keep an eye on her sister and also make sure she knew nothing of the change that was happening in hospital.“That’s comforting to know,” Angelica said with a smile on her face.“I just want all of this to be behind us and we can probably go enjoy our honeymoon,” she sighed.Xavier could understand her worry, she had been so
“I cant believe you agreed to let Oliver go,” Clarissa chuckled, her eyes beaming with pride at her latest and surest successful game.If anything was sure, she was certain that this time Oliver’s hate for Angelica would surely be a catalyst and nothing would stop Angelica and Xavier’s downfall.“Oh believe it honey, I have one billion reasons why I chose to walk away,” Bella replied, her eyes fixed on the road as they drove away.“But Clarissa, I must say, you are one stone cold lady, you sold your sister, your flesh and blood,” Bella commented.Bella was a cold hearted killer but even through her years of work she hadn’t met any woman like Clarissa before.“She was never my sister, she took everything from me,” Clarissa bit out in an angry voice.Bella kept her lips shut, she would only drop the woman at the hospital and disappear for good.She knew bad luck when she saw one, these ladies were an epitome of disaster and she wouldn’t be around to be caught in the crossfire.“I hope w
“Take her away” The word hung in the air with different emotions for each lady.Clarissa was shocked, not only had her son cast her away but he was taking Kelanie’s side and forsaking her, his own mother.Kelanie beamed with pride as she heard Alex order his mother to be taken away. Her hands rubbed her stomach a sense of pride and relief filling her body.This baby was not only a ticket but it was the whole thing she had ever needed. For a brief second she felt sad that she had almost decided to rid herself of the born.But a night in the Airbnb was all she needed, and now she was here, a mother and most importantly a rich wife.“Alex,” Kelanie cried, rushing I to his arms, sobbing into his chest as he wrapped a protective arm around her.“It’s alright, you are safe, the both of you are safe,” Alex whispered into her ear, signaling for his mother to be taken out of the room.“she isn’t going to let this go,” Kelanie cried.“She will have to, you are my wife after all, she knows she
Xavier was antsy, it had been six hours since he last saw Angelica.“Try her number again,” he said to her assistant who also had a worried look on her face.“The line is disconnected,” the assistant replied.This couldn’t be happening again, it felt like it was only yesterday when she was kidnapped at their wedding.“Breaking news,” the news announcer said on the TV, Xavier’s heart pounded in fear, his fingers crossed a he hoped for the best.“Trillonaire, tycoon’s son, Alex Constantine and Kelanie, his brother’s ex wife, have reportedly tied the knot this afternoon, in a close knitted family wedding,” the reporter announced.Xavier felt his heart drop, this was a development he didn’t see coming from a mile away, last he had checked, Kelanie was dumped like a bag of potatoes, at least that was what his spy had told him.“What are you up to Kelanie,” he muttered, looking at pictures of the latest couple that was displayed.“Mr. Xavier, are you ready for your next injection,” a nurse
“What are you doing here?” Kelanie asked, rising from the chair she was resting on.Xavier had a bored expression on his face. It was a final moment decision, coming here, rather than staying over at Angelica’s house.“It is my father’s house, isn’t it?” He replied.Kelanie’s eyes darkened, “and this is my husband’s house, I don’t want you here,” she spat out the words thick with venom.Xavier released a long sigh, it was only three minutes and Kelanie was on the run of winning the world record for shortest time ever to piss someone off.“get out of my way Kelanie,” Xavier said in a calm tone, his feet were hurting and the stress of the day was finally catching up with him.“Sorry, I had to make sure things were running smoothly in the office,” Peggy said, interrupting the tense stare down between Xavier and Kelanie.“Money sure does change a man,” Kelanie said in a mocking tone, her eyes looking at Peggy with curiosity.“What’s going on in that evil trip of yours that you call a brai
