Oliver had escaped and Xavier was just finding out now. Xavier seethes in anger, the police had refused to warn him of the impending danger after Oliver had escaped prison. “Dad,” Xavier whispered in the phone his voice weak. “How’s she?” Mr kareel asked, his voice filled with worry. “Still nothing yet, she’s still in surgery,” Xavier sighed, running his hand through his hair in frustration. “What did the police have to say? Do we have a suspect?” Mr kareel asked. “It was Oliver, dad,” Xavier said in a low voice. Mr kareel froze, he had heard of the maniac Oliver had caused his family while he was in coma and how badly he had treated Angelica before she had married Xavier. “I thought he was in prison?” Mr kareel asked in a low voice. Xavier could hear the confusion in his voice. “He had escaped three nights ago,” Xavier replied, releasing a long sigh. “im going to call the commissioner of police, this is impossible,” Mr kareel muttered. “Xavier, keep me informed of anythin
The house was tense, the news of Angelica’s accident had spread like wild fire. Clarissa laughed, this sounded like a good she has been waiting for all her life. Angelica was dead, there was nothing that could save her. The picture of the wrecked car was all the proof she needed to know that the universe has finally rid her of her beloved sister. Peggy gasped, looking at the wrecked car on the screen broke her heart, just when she was starting to recall everything this happened? “Do you think she will make it?” Peggy asked Amy, with fear in her eyes. “I really can’t say, but the hospital has been quiet on the matter, no one wants to say anything,” Amy responded. “Do you think we should call Xavier?” Peggy asked. Amy could only wonder what he was going through, “we can probably go to the hospital instead,” she suggested. Peggy nodded, pulling on her sandals, “we are going to the hospital,” Peggy said to the guard Xavier had provided. The drive to the hospital was long, and the
Amy nodded at Peggy, signaling her to talk. Xavier looked at them confused, wondering what more they had to say. “I remember everything now,” Peggy said in a low voice. The room fell quiet, the news was still stilling to process in their minds. “You can remember?” Xavier spluttered, his eyes with in shock. Peggy nodded shyly, “yes, I remember everything that happened,” Peggy whispered. Amy knew the time was right to produce the phone she had been keeping in her custody. “I held unto this until the time was right,” Amy said pulling out Peggy’s phone from her sling bag. Peggy gasped, “you found it?” she cried, her eyes watering as she saw the phone. Peggy hadn’t mentioned it before but the phone had every incriminating details about Kelanie and Clarissa. Amy nodded, “I found it in the medicine cabinet,” Amy explained. Angelica’s eyebrows knitted in confusion, she couldn’t understand why they were so excited about a phone. Peggy turned on the phone, opening to the last video
Alex’s breath hitched, he tried to keep a calm composure as Peggy talked. He saw it in her eyes, she had finally regained her memories. “What is the fuss all about,” Clarissa screamed, walking into the living room. Clarissa’s steps faltered, her eyes wide in disbelief as she noticed her sister sitting proudly on the chair with a calm expression on her face. “why can’t you just die,” she hissed in her mind, feeling angry at the sight of Angelica. “Hello sister,” Angelica teased, enjoying the look of surprise on Clarissa’s face. Clarissa had a scowl on her face, “angelica, why am I not surprised?” she snarled, turning her face away in displeasure. “What am I hearing about you firing the maids, without my permission,” she hissed at Xavier. “you may control the company but that is where your powers stop, I am the one that runs this house,” Clarissa shouted, she was fed up with the way Xavier was parading himself around like a king. “I authorized it,” Angelica smirked. “and before
“Alex just sent a message, he said Xavier has the documents,” Philip Russell announced, smirking brightly at his phone.Kelanie rushed to his side snatching the phone from his hand, grinning as she read the text. “Well, it’s about damn time,” she muttered, dropping the phone on his chest. Kelanie was feeling salty, her sources had said nothing about Angelica’s situation, all they said was she was in a critical condition and she couldn’t bare the thought of not knowing. “Get the driver ready, we have a paper to sign,” she hissed at Philip walking out of the room. Philip Russell had been with a lot of women, but Kelanie was a different breed. Philip had soon understood that he was only a pawn in whatever game she had she was playing. “So what happens after I sign the deal?” he asked, looking at Kelanie for direction. “I return to my husband and you join the board of directors, implementing the changes I want,” Kelanie replied. Philip Russell frowned, he had expected them to be d
Xavier and barrister Branford walked into his office, surprised to see Angelica and Peggy already waiting for them. “How did it go?” Angelica asked, her eyes filled with worry. Xavier smiled pulling the document out of the folder barrister Branford had given to him. “Perfect actually” he grinned showing them the document with Kelanie’s signature on it. Xavier was happy he had agreed with his father to make Kelanie sign her denouncement of the Constantine family name. It has been a smart move suggested by the barrister, who had suspected that Kelanie would try to go for the money by invoking her right as a family member. “She really didn’t know?” Peggy asked, surprise written all over her face.They had expected Kelanie to be meticulous in her dealings but it seemed the thought of having successfully scammed the family had made her sloppy. Xavier laughed, karma truly did always come around to bite in the butt. Kelanie had used the same trick in selling him and now he was doing
Kelanie walked into the kitchen, her eyes in surprise as she took in the new faces around. “Who are you?” She asked the girl. “Good morning ma’am, I am the new maid,” she replied. “I know that, what is your name?” Kelanie hissed. “Grace, ma’am” she replied in a calm voice. “Make this tea for Clarissa,” Kelanie ordered, throwing a tea packet into her hands. “I’m sorry ma’am, but I can’t do that until it’s approved,” grace said in a low voice. “Approved by who?” Kelanie hissed. “Miss Peggy,” grace replied, walking away. Kelanie laughed, it sounded like she hadn’t just heard that Peggy was in charge of things in the house. Kelanie met with the other maids and they had all told her to meet with Peggy fir approval. Kelanie marched towards Peggy’s room, banging her fist on the door, “get out here,” she hissed. Peggy opened the door, wondering what was happening with the incessant pounding. “What is it?” Peggy said in a calm tone. “you have no right,” Kelanie hissed, her eyes
The Constantine mansion was in a frenzy, Mr kareel was finally returning home after a long time away. Clarissa and Kelanie watched as the maids moved under Peggy’s strict orders, carrying out her precise orders. Kelanie was filled with anxiety, this would be her second time meeting with Mr kareel and she was secretly hoping that this time would be better than the last. The first time was when he had announced Xavier as his long lost son. Kelanie hated remembering everything about that day. The shame she had felt when the world knew of how she had left an extremely rich man because she had assumed he was poor. But this time around, it was going to be different, she was certain of it, the baby in her stomach was enough to sway Mr kareel in her favor. “when will he be returning?” Kelanie asked Clarissa. Clarissa had a scowl on her face, “I don’t know, they have kept everything under a tight lip,” she responded. Clarissa hated how they had sidelined her like she was invisible, and
