“Imbecile,” the word echoed through the quiet house, startling Peggy out of her reverie.Peggy gasped in shock, her eyes widened in surprise as she watched Kelanie kick the maid with such force. Peggy felt guilty as she sneaked away from the scene but her last encounter still scared her of how venomous Kelanie was. “Avoid Kelanie, she’s the spawn of the devil, who wouldn’t stop until she has destroyed you,” Xavier’s words rang in her ears. Peggy’s eyes were filled with sadness as she tried Angelica’s number again. And true to the thing they had feared most, the worst had happened. “peter, send the information to every news channel you know,” Peggy said I to the phone, signaling Peter. “ Have you told Xavier yet?” Peter asked, his voice filled with worry. “Run the news, I will tell him when he wakes up, I have to make sure he takes his medications and eats properly,” Peggy replied. “I hope Angelica knows what she is doing,” Peter sighed, ending the call. Peggy nodded, “I hope s
“We interrupt this program to be this breaking news, trillonaire tycoon’s wife, Mrs. Angelica Constantine has been reported missing, her last seen location was at the Webley theater with this man known as Oliver Scott,” the reporter announced.Angelica had a proud smirk on her face, she had trapped Oliver in a tight corner and there was nothing he could do about it.If her suspicion was right, this was the kind of heat his boss couldn’t want around his business.Angelica had made sure she knew the kind of man Bella and Oliver were working for.And from the news she had just heard, she was expecting an angry to barge in.“Boss is not going to like this, we can’t have the feds sniffing in on our business,” one of the security men muttered.“Oliver should have just demanded like the boss had intended,” the other replied.“Bring her out,” Oliver’s voice shut the men up instantly.Angelica stifled a groan as she was roughly pulled up from the ground, “move your feet,” the guard growled pus
The sound of TV playing in the room served as background noise. Angelica’s body felt like it was pierced by a thousand needles. She groaned as she tried to sit up, her body resisting any form of movement she tried to make. “Hey,” Xavier greeted, his eyes filled with worry as he rushed to her side. “Water,” Angelica’s voice croaked, her mouth felt like it was filled with sand paper. “Small sips,” Xavier cautioned, placing the glass by her mouth. The water was refreshing, Angelica released a long sigh as the water flowed down her throat. “Mrs. Constantine, I see that you are awake,” Doctor mark said, smiling softly a the couple. Xavier nodded at the doctor a silent greeting, “doctor mark,” he said shaking his hand. “hi,” Angelica greeted, with confusion written all over face. The last thing she could recall was the police barging into the building Oliver had kept her confined in. “Today is the fifth day after your rescue,” the doctor explained. “fifth day?” Angelica asked. “y
Clarissa stood by her window, watching as Alex and Kelanie enjoyed their picnic. Kelanie beamed with joy as Alex handed her a wrapped gift.The image reminded her of the beginning of her relationship with her husband kareel.The sound of her phone ringing brought her back to reality, “what did you find?” Clarissa asked immediately she picked the call, not taking her eyes off her son.“It’s true, the police have Oliver in their custody but the details to his arrest has been kept excluded,” the man replied.“Do you know if the found any body while they arrested him?” Clarissa asked the question that has been plaguing her mind for days.All she had gotten from the news was notice of Angelica’s abduction and since then the media has been quiet, too quiet for her taste.“find out everything you can, even if it means breaking into the police captains office, I don’t pay you to give me no information,” Clarissa snapped ending the call abruptly.She was getting frustrated with the way everyon
The house was tense, everyone was locked in their room dressing in preparation the dinner.“Thank Mr Thompson,” Xavier said, his eyes skimming over the document that had been sent to him. “Xavier, are you sure about this move,” Angelica asked looking at the paperwork with an unsure look on her face. “Yes, I have watched them try to destroy everything my father built, if implement this it would been I have control of the finances,” Xavier replied. In theory the approach was a smart move, if you can control the money then it’s easy to control the number of targets on your back. “just so you know, I don’t care what you do, I will always support you,” Angelica said. “Mr Xavier,” a knock sounded on the door. “Come in Ruby,” Angelica replied. True to Peggy’s words Ruby had become an incredible Intel, it also helped that she was one of the few maids that were nice to him while he was a servant. “The lawyer is downstairs, Peggy is with him,” Ruby informed. “thank you Ruby, please the
Kelanie felt like she was about to throw up. Her ears were ringing as Xavier said the last words. “Who else can approve this,” Clarissa asked, poking like she was about to cry. Kelanie was scared, she had me et seen Clarissa shaken up like this before. “No one, it must go through me before any transfer is made,” Xavier replied. “So you are shutting us out of our right, while you and your whore will squander everything,” Alex yelled, the veins on his neck popping out. “This can’t be happening,” Kelanie thought to herself. Just when she thought that she has had it all figured out, Xavier decided to throw a curveball at her. “I have a child coming on the way, you think two million is enough?” Alex scoffed. “I mean how would you know what it takes to raise a child when you have never had one,” he added. “for the baby and Kelanie’s welfare, a total of one and a half million would be deposited into any account of her choosing,” Xavier said. Clarissa had been quiet for a while, “wh
Alex was pacing around the sitting room, with a glass of whiskey in his hands. “How did this happen?” He shouted, smashing the glass against the cold hard floor. Kelanie yelped, startled by his act, she took was suffering from embarrassment at the way Alex’s father had brushed her off.He was finally getting the recognition he deserved and Xavier wants to that that away. He couldn’t get over the look of disdain his father had on his face when he tried speaking with him, what annoyed Alex more was the fact that his father smiled so broadly at Xavier like he hung the moon for him. “Alex sit down, your pacing is giving me a headache,” Clarissa said, feeling a migraine beginning to form. “why are you so calm mother? Xavier is slowly trying to lock is out of my father’s wealth,” Alex screamed. He had expected his mother to put up a fight, but her claim demeanor only sensed to provoke Alex further. “What do you want me to do, March into their room and kill Xavier?” Clarissa screamed a
“Xavier!!!” Angelica screamed.Xavier rushed into the room, his eyes wide, searching for the threat. “What is the problem?” Angelica had tears streaming down her face as she watched the news, Xavier’s pictures were pasted on every news channel.“Get Branford on the phone,” Xavier said to Peggy, who had rushed in with him after hearing Angelica’s scream.“Branford, what’s going on, who is spreading such lies,” Xavier growled into the phone.“From the looks of things, it seems like your step mother had granted an interview last night,” Branford said on the phone.“How soon can you come to the hotel?” Xavier asked.“I’ll be there in twenty minutes,” barrister Branford responded.“okay great, we’ll be expecting you,” Xavier sighed.“why would Kelanie say that, and how can they say you kidnapped your father,” Angelica said.Angelica couldn’t understand why Kelanie would lie such blatant lies, the Xavier she knew wasn’t an abusive partner, he was the most thoughtful and caring person she
