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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

As an added security measure, Xavier had changed the key pad to the new room he had made for his father. Only a selected few had assess to his room.

    Clarissa waited until she was sure her husband was alone before she tried sneaking into his room. “Why is this door not opening,” Clarissa hissed, jiggling the door handle. Peggy walked pass Clarissa with a smirk on her face, “because it has restricted access,” Peggy said, pushing the door open. “Mr kareel, dinner is ready,” she announced, smiling kindly at the man. Clarissa frowned, looking at her husband as he walked pass her without acknowledging her presence. At the dining table Kelanie couldn’t hide her frown, Xavier and Angelica sat on each side of Mr kareel, pushing the rest of them further down the table. “So Angelica, how are you?” Mr kareel asked, like he hadn’t just seen her a few seconds ago. “Mr kareel, I was hoping you and I would go to the hospital together,” Kelanie cut in, smiling sweetly at him. “Sorry, I won’t be available,” Mr kareel said. “Angelica, I was hoping we could have a late brunch tomorrow,” Mr kareel said to angelica.

Mr kareel sighed, he could see that Alex’s troubles were deep rooted, caused from emotions bottled in for so long. Mr kareel could see it in Alex’s eyes that the boy was going through something and he couldn’t help but wonder the things that had happened in his absence. “Alex, you have never been a bad kid, but the decisions you made, the consequences are affecting the company,” Mr kareel said. “And for whether you are enough, I have never compared you to my son Xavier, we all have our potentials,” je replied smoothly. Angelica hid her smile, Mr kareel had been a true business man, he had answers the questions tactically without having to disclose much. It was funny they had missed on the fact, that Mr kareel had not ones claimed Alex as his son, which further proved that they were only fishing for information and wanting to be in the

    “Why have you been ignoring my calls?” Kelanie hissed into the phone.

Philip Russell couldn’t believe that she hadn’t figured it all out yet. “I hope you don’t think you can cross me, because you better get that fairytale out of your damn mind,” Kelanie sneered. “Kelanie,” Philip shouted, cutting her off from her rant. “there’s no board of directors seat,” he said in a tired voice. “What do you mean? We signed the documents,” Kelanie hissed. “It was all a faux, nothing there was real,” he sighed. “but.. but,” Kelanie stuttered, looking around the room in surprise. “I suggest you get the hell out of there, my uncle is in town and I don’t know what the hell

    “What do you think you are doing here?” Mr Jenkins growled. Kelanie stood shocked by the animosity in his voice. “Dad” she whispered tears flowing down her cheeks, she had just arrived the house and her father wouldn’t even let her through the front door. “Dad” kelanie called, her voice cracking as she tried to speak. “Let’s settle this inside,” Mrs Jenkins said, trying to calm the tension. Kelanie smiled softly at her mother, one thing was certain, her mother was going to make it right.“No, she can’t come in here, she has done enough already, we can’t afford such bad press now” her father hissed.Kelanie frowned, “bad press? If I do recall correctly, it was you that made me literally throw my life away all because of some image that you wanted to protect,” kelanie yelled.Mr Jenkins looked unbothered by her words, kelanie was a grown woman who knew the path of right and wrong.“yes, I pushed you I’ll admit to that fact, but you my dear have been terrible at every decision you ha

    Xavier stood with a smug look on his face. This was just the cherry on the top, proving to kelanie that he was in fact Mr kareel’s son. Kelanie looked at the paper in her hand, they had stripped her of everything. She had no Alex, no money and definitely no house to stay. “Turn on the television,” Peggy said in a hurried tone ordering the maid that stood by the corner of the living room. “Tonight we would be airing a series which is a documentary on the life of Xavier Constantine and how he had missed a bullet, and the fails of a vengeful ex-wife kelanie Jenkins.” The air hostess said. Kelanie gasped, this was what melody was trying to warn her about. This was the show melody was gathering information about her for. Kelanie’s phone dinged, “there’s no way to hide, get my money ready,” the message read. Kelanie didn’t have to ask who it was, it was obvious the message was from Mr Russell.

This was bigger than she had anticipated, her mole was clearly undermanned and she was thinking for thinking ahead.Loyalty could weaver at the right price.Clarissa tried to hide her face, hoping to not be captured by the pressing as the police led her into the waiting vehicle. Mr kareel wasn’t bothered about the appearance of the press, he was in turn going to give a speech at the end of the day. Mr kareel turned his gaze to Alex who looked like he was a few seconds away from passing out. “Alex,” Mr kareel called out gently. “fa.. Mr kareel,” Alex replied, fumbling over the words. It was obvious he was about to call Mr kareel father before he quickly caught himself. Mr kareel smiled, it was sad to see Alex go through the crimes Clarissa had committed. “I will be taking nothing from you, everything you have owned, they a

    Clarissa stood in shock, her first layer of armor had been taken away. Her lawyers had barely spared her a glance, standing with their faces to the ground. “Let’s take a trip down memory lane, shall we?” Mr kareel said enjoying the way Clarissa looked.“This is a forensic and post partum analysis I had done on my dead wife,” Mr kareel said giving the file to Peggy to pass the papers around.Xavier eagerly snatched the paper from Peggy’s hand, his eyes wide as he read through the details listed out.Xavier’s eyes watered as he saw a picture of his mother, her hazel eyes were a shade darker than his and Xavier could tell that he had gotten his nose from his mother.Angelica’s eyes watered, seeing the dejected look in Xavier’s face. She could feel how broken he was feeling and wished he didn’t have to sit through this.“I’m here,” Angelica whispered into Xavier’s ears, squeezing his palm softly, silently giving him comfort.Xavier nodded, his throat clogged as he read through the detail

    Mr kareel had always suspected the eagerness Clarissa had, she had used his mourning period to accomplish her plans. Mr kareel couldn’t remember what had happened, and all his life, he had never been that drunk to the point of blacking out. All Mr kareel could remember was waking up to a sobbing Clarissa in a room filled with bottles of alcohol littered around. The only person to fill in the gaps had conveniently been Clarissa, she had some how convinced the rest of the maids and workers to take a day off.It was also during the period that Mr Thompson was swamped in the office, since Mr kareel was too heart broken to function.The next few weeks were a blur to Mr kareel, all he had was Clarissa and a constant headache every morning from how heavy he had apparently been drinking.It was crazy how all Mr kareel could ever recall was just the first glass Clarissa had offered, and the rest was just a blank space of nothing.Clarissa had been very careful with her actions, she kept him

    Kelanie followed Alex around like a shadow. She was scared of Clarissa attacking her again. Kelanie frowned, watching Angelica and Xavier walk into the living room. If eyes were bullets, then Xavier and Angelica would have been six feet under by now. Kelanie knew it was Angelica that had made all these plans, trying to pay her back for everything she had done. “Fix your face” Alex hissed, looking at kelanie with an unimpressed look on his face. It was a wonder how kelanie still had the energy to hate people in this situation that they had found themselves in. Clarissa sat by the corner alone, glaring at kelanie who hasn’t left her son’s side for a minute. “she needs to leave,” Clarissa growled, pointing her fingers at kelanie. “She is a serpent who has done nothing but create havoc on this family,” Clarissa hissed. “nothing good has happened since she stepped into this house,” Clarissa hissed. Kelanie frowned, she couldn’t understand why Clarissa was still picking on her when

    The house was eerily quiet.The only sound that could be heard was Clarissa sniffling in the corner of the living room.The truth was dropped like a devastating blow, no one had survived it, at least for Kelanie and Clarissa.Xavier sat quietly in the room, his eyes had a forlorn look in them, he felt nothing but pity for Alex.It was devastating how Alex was the one suffering the brunt of Clarissa’s wrong doings.Xavier wasn’t much of Alex’s fan but he could only imagine how he must be feeling.“Father,” Xavier called out in a calm tone to his father.“something is on your mind,” Mr kareel said, hating the despair in Xavier’s eyes.“What is the plan for Alex?” Xavier asked in a soft voice, worry swirling in his eyes as he looked at his father.Mr kareel sighed, he wasn’t entirely heartless, he had made sure that nothing would be taken away from Alex’s trust fund account.“he is going to be sent off with enough money to start up something,” Mr kareel muttered.Relief washed over Xavie

    Clarissa ran after Mr kareel, tears flowing down her cheeks, she couldn’t believe she was about to lose everything. “Kareel, don’t do this,” she cried, pushing Angelica out of the way. Xavier rushed, pulling Angelica to his side, shielding her from the crazed woman. “Clarissa,” Mr kareel called in a low tone.Clarissa saw it in his eyes, his mind had been made up, there was nothing she could do any longer. “We have all been victims of your lies,” Mr kareel said. He wasn’t really in the mood to talk, he had accepted the truth a long time ago, he had only refused to make the information public so that he wouldn’t he burdened by the weight of it any longer. “My lawyers will contact you,” Mr kareel hissed, storming into the room. Clarissa knelt on the floor watching his retreating figure. She knew her husband was a vicious business man, who had survived a whole lot of storm in his years.
