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
Xavier stood at the door waiting on his father’s arrival, it had been months since he left the house. Angelica and Peggy were in the kitchen supervising the chefs as they prepared dinner. Xavier wasn’t worried like he was about his safety again. He had installed hidden cameras around the house. 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. Xavier had been so cautious about the details of his father’s room, allowing Clarissa to think her husband and her would still be staying in the same room. Xavier smirked, Clarissa was about to get the shock of her life when she finds out about the changes that had been out in place. Xavier’s heart skipped a beat as he watched his father’s car pull up, and with quick steps he rushed out to welcome his father. Mr Thompson watched with a kind smile on his face as the two men exchanged hugs. He could see how happy they were to be back together
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. Kelanie frowned, “I could
The air was thick with tension, no one moved or said a thing as they waited with bated breath. “Will I ever be enough for you?” Alex asked again. 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 released a long sigh, he had thought that the distance he had put between them would save him from her troubles. “I’ve been busy,” Philip Russell said, with a bored tone. “How are you coming along with the board meeting?” Kelanie asked eagerly, she had waited all week for his feedback and had gotten nothing. 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
Kelanie had a plan in mind, she knew Xavier was asking out of spite for what she had to him. She was going to make sure Mr kareel liked her, Alex had mentioned that his father had a soft spot for women and he hated seeing the cry. Kelanie had a plan formed in her mind as she dressed up for brunch. She was going to show Angelica that it took more than a few letters to scare her. Angelica bit back a laugh, she hadn’t expected less of Kelanie, it would have been too easy if she backed away. “Sorry I am late,” Kelanie said in a sickening sweet voice. “baby had a different thought today,” Kelanie said, patting her stomach, with a smirk on her face as she looked at Angelica. Mr kareel nodded, “lets go,” he muttered, leading the girls to the cute yard. Kelanie looked confused, they had agreed to do brunch but why where they going towards the courtyard, she looked around in with a puzzled look. “I hope you don’t mind the change, but Angelica had suggested we used the courtyard rather
