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,
Clarissa smiled, “Angelica and t left the hospital, I am sure they will be heading over to Angelica’s office, where they would find Peggy’s resignation letter,” she announced. Kelanie smirked, the first part of her plan was coming along, now she could happily move on to the next phase. “What are you smiling about?” Clarissa asked noticing the smug look on Kelanie’s face. “Nothing to worry your head about,” Kelanie replied, waving her hand dismissively.Clarissa squinted her eyes at Kelanie, she knew she was up to something, but she couldn’t quite place her fingers on it. Clarissa excused herself, walking into her room, “she needed to teach Kelanie a lesson before she thought herself to be higher than her,” she thought opening the safe in her room. She hadn’t imagined using this information just yet, but desperate times called for desperate measures. Clarissa sent the pictures to melody, knowing that in the next hour the story would make headline on every news channel. Kelanie’s
“The blood has just been run through the lab and I must say, it matches that of Miss Peggy Kane,” the detective said. Angelica gasped, her face in horror as the words finally sunk in. “But, we can’t seem to find the body,” the detective added. Xavier paced around the office, “how is that possible, she couldn’t be possibly murdered at the hospital,”The detective sighed, “Mr Xavier, criminals especially killers have the most twisted minds, a location has no bother to the case of killing,” “The case has become an active investigation and has been kept private from journalist,” the detective warned. “We understand the discretion,” xabie said. “if her body isn’t found, what should we be expecting? Angelica asked. “we really can’t say, but my men are in this,” the detective said. Xavier nodded, “thank you detective, please keep us posted,” he said, leading a sobbing Angelica out of the office. “I’m going to kill Clarissa,” Angelica growled, her fist pounding the dashboard. “I’m g
“It shouldn’t have been that easy,” Kelanie thought to herself, laughing as she closed the car door behind her. “Oh, Xavier I’m sorry for everything I had put you through over the three years of our marriage,” she mimicked, laughing at the little act she had performed. Kelanie couldn’t stop laughing at how easy it was to play the victim card, she could still remember how devastated Angelica looked when she mentioned the safety of her child. The drive home was slow, Kelanie knew she was playing a dangerous game, but with the evidence they had against Clarissa, nothing was going to keep her from going to prison. Kelanie quickly called melody, they might not like each other but Kelanie knew melody was a useful tool in her plan. “Hi Melody,” she said in a calm voice. “Kelanie, hi, it’s been a minute,” melody responded smiling into the call. Whatever reason Kelanie was calling her for, melody knew it was going to be good. “I just heard something, but I don’t think it is true,” Kel
