Clarissa was done playing the waiting game, Kelanie had avoided her long enough. “We need to talk,” Clarissa barged into the room startling Kelanie. “Clarissa, I would have been naked,” Kelanie shouted, pulling the blanket tighter around her body. Clarissa rolled her eyes, “huh, I’ve seen better,” she jeered. Clarissa sat by the vanity chair, the scowl on her face permanent, and her eyes looking around the well furnished room they had provided for Kelanie. “I see you have settled in nicely,” she taunted. Kelanie bit her lips, she thought that maybe if she would ignore Clarissa long enough she would get tired and leave her alone. “But you know the funny thing?” Clarissa asked, her eyes staring deeply at Kelanie. “no matter how much money you think you might have, it doesn’t change the fact that you smell like cheap trash, tossed around by men for cheap pleasure,” Clarissa sneered. Kelanie wouldn’t admit it but each word. Clarissa said, it felt like a dagger was slicing through
“How could you do that?” Alex yelled at his mother. “You knew she was pregnant and still attacked her,” he screamed at the top of his voice. Clarissa sat quietly on the bed, watching her son rant. She waited patiently for when she would drop the bomb on the atrocities Kelanie had been done. “Alex” Clarissa said in a calm tone. Alex paused, waiting to hear what his mother had to say, “what mom, what?” He shouted throwing his hands in the air. Clarissa released a long sigh, Alex was being difficult, and it was getting on her nerves. “You will not raise your voice at me,” Clarissa shouted.“I am your mother and I deserve some respect,” she yelled.“that girl is a snake, she has been nothing nut a parasite who has been leeching off this family,” Clarissa said.“I was only giving her what she deserved,” Alex scoffed, looking at his mother in surprise, “almost killing my child, your grandbaby is the best way to teach het what she deserves?” he said.Clarissa shook her head, “no, tha
Kelanie sat quietly, listening to Alex as he talked about everything he had discovered. “I can’t believe she would do this,” Alex shrieked, looking angry at the thought. Kelanie had kept her face neutral, void of every emotion. She was still trying to process how easy it had been to turn everything around on Clarissa. Kelanie had been very careful in planting the seed of distrust in Alex’s mind. Kelanie didn’t have to take all of the praise, when Clarissa had In fact made the work very easy by attacking her. Kelanie smirked, with Clarissa out of the way she knew it would be easy to take control of everything. “I am always here for you Alex, you have your family now,” Kelanie said, pulling his hand and placing it on her stomach. Alex nodded, he was done allowing his mother destroy the family he had. Kelanie kissed him, sealing her promise, it wasn’t hard to break Alex, his constant need to be seen made it easy. Clarissa paced around the house, her mind troubled about how quickl
Xavier was stunned by the information. Mr Russell was not only a dangerous man but a well known drug dealer. The man had approached him within the first few days he was announced to the world as Xavier Constantine. Mr Russell needed Xavier’s ability to import goods in and out of countries without being checked. He could only imagine what he would do with such influence, at his fingertips. He was extremely pleased when Clarissa had approached him for a favour. “Boss,” his right hand man called, looking down in fear. “let’s go on a driver, it time we paid the Constantine mansion a visit,” Mr Russell said raising from his sit. The drive to the Constantine family mansion was long. Mr Russell was fed up with Clarissa’s delay. He needed to make his intentions known, and probably threatened her a bit to get a faster result. “Good morning sir, how can I help you?” Ruby addressed, looking shyly at the brooding man before her. “Tell your Master that Mr Russell is here” Ruby’s body ra
Alex growled, rushing towards Kelanie to save her, but the guard was faster, smacking his nose with the butt of the gun. “Alex,” Kelanie screamed, watching as he fell to the ground with a loud thud. Blood gushing from his nose, Kelanie couldn’t stop crying as the dragged her out of the house. “Xavier, Alex, please!!!” Kelanie screamed. Xavier and Angelica were terrified, the had thought the meeting was a cordial one, not knowing that Mr Russell had an ulterior motive. Clarissa rushed to her son, trying t help him up, but Alex shoved her away from him, his eyes in a fixed glare as he looked at her. Alex barked out a bitter laugh, “you won mother, this is what you have always wanted, Kelanie gone and just you and I, well here we are, just you and I, mother, I hope you are happy,” Alex snarled, walking out of the room. Clarissa was stunned, Alex has never spoken to her with such venom in his voice before. “What have I done?” she cried, kneeling by the door. Xavier held angelica’s
“Thank you Mr and Mrs Jenkins for coming,” Xavier said, opening the door fir Kelanie’s parent to walk in. Xavier mused, “If I could trade the shock expression on people faces them I would be richer than I am now,” he thought to himself. “We were surprised you would want to see us,? Mr Jenkins Xavier laughed, “I will keep it very brief, keep this,” recounting the same words Kelanie had used while addressing him in front of her parents.Mr and Mrs Jenkins looked around the office, their eyes in a sad twist as they thought about how their daughter had lost everything. “Thank you very much,” Mrs Jenkins said, her eyes only darting around the office searching for exciting rich things. Xavier nodded, “my legal advisor and his team will look the arguments, and if they say it all looks good, then we van proceed to the next stage,” Xavier said. Mr Jenkins couldn’t hide his shock, he wasn’t expecting Xavier to be this strict, but then again, he remembered ho2 his daughter had tricked him
Philip Russell had just gotten off the phone with his uncle. “Do you think he knows?” Kelanie asked in a worried tone, they had used his name and influence to demand for more than he had requested. “No, he was only checking to be sure we could start our importation under the Constantine group of companies cover,” Philip replied. Kelanie released a sigh of relief, it was a dangerous game they were playing, demanding for more than he had bargained, but Kelanie had her eyes set on the gold and she was going to stop at nothing to get it. Clarissa has been blowing up Philip’s phone for the past hours, Kelanie laughed, she was enjoying how they were suffering and running around like headless chickens. “Why hasn’t Xavier made contact yet?” Philip asked. Kelanie rolled her eyes, and wondered why the men around her always seem to be brainless, Kelanie couldn’t understand why she was the only one always planning and scheming. “Because, he is probably with the body, trying to convince th
Clarissa was at her wits end, Alex had completely ignored her and his only focus was on Kelanie and how to bring her back safely. A more devastating blow was the fact that Alex had sought help from Xavier, the bastard who had taken away she had worked for away. Clarissa sat in the dining room her eyes twisted in anger as she watched Xavier and Alex discuss. “So, I have the documents ready, we only need to make sure Mr Russell would bring Kelanie back home in one piece,” Xavier said. “What’s going on?” Clarissa asked, looking between Xavier and Alex. Xavier waited for Alex to respond, focusing his attention on the meal before him. It was a full minute and it seemed like no one was about to respond to her question. Xavier sighed, “we are accepting Mr Russell’s offer and giving him a seat among the board of directors,” Xavier said. “what?” Clarissa spluttered. “and who authorized this?” Clarissa gritted out, her nostrils flared in anger. “I did,” Xavier replied. Clarissa’s fro
