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
The morning couldn’t come any sooner, Clarissa sat with Kelanie smiling as she read the message from the board. “It looks like Xavier would no longer be the director after all,” she smiled showing Kelanie the text. “That was fast,” Kelanie said, looking thrilled with the result. “But why are they inviting him to the meeting, can’t they just send him his termination letter?” Kelanie asked. Clarissa rolled her eyes, “it’s standard procedure and to also ensure there’s no bad press, so by Eight AM today, Xavier would no longer be CEO and Alex will be placed in his place and things can finally return to its natural order,” Kelanie was excited, she had truly hit jackpot, with Alex becoming the CEO she would have unlimited money and enough trip vacations. “And you wouldn’t be in the picture,” she thought to herself, smiling as Clarissa continued drinking her herbal tea unsuspecting of effects. For Kelanie it was going to be smooth sailing after she had taken out her enemies, she knew
Clarissa would have cried, her eyes watered as her husband made his final verdict.“What?” Alex screamed, his face red in anger. “It is my birthright,” Alex screamed.“Xavier is my first son, and he is also a better man for the job,” Mr kareel said, abruptly ending the call.The tension in the conference room was palpable, Xavier released the breathe he had been holding.“Come on,” he whispered in Angelica’s ear, pulling her to her feet a they walked out of the conference room.Kelanie watched with rage in her eyes as Angelica blushed from the attention Xavier was showering on her.She should have been the one enjoying the wealth, she was with him for three years of her life when he had nothing and she stood by him.“lets leave,” Clarissa snapped, her heels clicking loudly on the floor as she stormed out of the building.The staff members had all gathered outside, clapping in congratulations for Xavier and Angelica has they walked out.And true to her word, melody and her news crew w
Alex hid away in his room, he needed to be far away from everyone, “Alex, please open the door,” Clarissa pleaded by the door. It was almost four hours since the last time he was seen outside. Kelanie was worried, ever since the experience at the company, Alex had become a shadow of himself. “Alex, please, come out please,” Kelanie frantically begged, her eyes watering. “Call the guard, I need this door knocked down immediately,” Clarissa ordered the maid. Xavier and Angelica were filled with worry as the heard heavy pounding on the door. “Peggy what’s going on?” Angelica asked, her back aching from sitting too long. “It’s Alex, he looked himself in the room and wouldn’t open up, Clarissa is worried sick that he might hurt himself,” Peggy replied. Xavier jumped to his feet, “where are there?”Angelica ran down the stairs with Peggy running behind her, “call the ambulance, tell them it’s an emergency,” Angelica yelled out to Peggy. “Alex!!!” Clarissa screaked. Alex was slumped
It was almost two hours since Alex had been rushed to the hospital, Peggy had been careful and kept herself off Clarissa’s radar. “Hi, Amy, remember me?” Peggy greeted the nurse who she had gotten familiar with during Xavier’s stay in the hospital. “Yes, Peggy, how are you? Is your boss alright?” Amy asked. Peggy smiled, happy that the nurse had remembered her, “yes he is fine, though I really need your help” “Sure” Amy responded. The few times she had met Peggy the girl had been nothing but kind and sweet to her. “there is a person here who I would like to see but I cant let them know that I am here, is there a way I could check up on them?” Peggy asked the noise. Amy looked around worried, “I shouldn’t really be doing this but I know you, come with me,” any whispered. Peggy followed Amy down the hall, giving her details of Alex’s case. “so this room connects you directly to his room, and you can just hide behind this curtain,” Amy said. Peggy nodded, she knew Xavier would a
“Try her number again,” Angelica said to Xavier. It was almost midnight and Peggy hadn’t returned from the hospital. The last time they spoke she said she was almost done and was ready to head home. “It’s not connecting,” Xavier replied, looking equally worried. “Maybe she had gone on a date,” Xavier tried to reason, but even he knew that Peggy wouldn’t take a step without informing Angelica. I just called the hospital, and they said she had left right after paying for Alex’s bill. “That isn’t right?” Xavier scrunched his face in confusion. “She was still hanging around after she paid, we saw her in the video call,” Xavier commented. “Something fishy is going on” Xavier said. “I know, the nurse who had talked to me sounded off, it was like she was reading off a script,” Angelica said. “We will head over there first thing tomorrow morning, there isn’t much we can do now,” Xavier said. “I’m sure she’s alright, might just be delayed in traffic,” Xavier tried to calm Angelica.
“Is there another angle we could watch it from?” Xavier asked. “I’m sorry, sir, this is the only one,” the hospital security replied. Xavier nodded, his eyes trained on the screen, as they watched Peggy walk into her car and driving off. “Something isn’t right,” Angelica said, searching around the video for clues. Her eyes zeroed in on the way Peggy packed her hair. “Xavier, look,” Angelica hissed, pointing at the way she had packed her hair. “Peggy hates high ponytails, it always leaves her with a migraine at the end of the day,” Angelica explained. Xavier nodded, it was true, he had never seen her out her hair up in such a manner. “excuse me,” the head nurse said, walking in with a smile on her face. Xavier and Angelica turned, “hi, I am Beatrice, the head nurse, I hear you have some questions?” the head nurse said. “Yes, we were just asking about our friend, she was here yesterday,” Angelica said. Showing her the picture of Peggy.Beatrice nodded, “yes I saw her yesterday,
