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
It’s been two days since Mr kareel dropped the bombshell. Clarissa and Kelanie have been walking on egg shells around the house, scared of when the other show might drop. Kelanie’s phone beeped, it was a message from a spy she had paid to keep an eye on Philip Russell.“Philip is around, you need to get here fast before he makes a run for it again,” the text read.Kelanie rose gently from the bed, and quickly dressed up in comfortable clothes.She was finally going to confront Philip about all the money he had been taking from their account.Kelanie laughed, Philip Russell was really daft if he thought she wouldn’t notice the transactions he had been doing, she had bribed the bank to alert her of every transaction that was being made in the account.Kelanie had almost dropped dead when she noticed the account had been emptied.“I’ll make you rue the day you crossed me, Philip,” she hissed to herself.“Where are you going this early,” Alex asked in a groggy voice, rubbing the sleep o
Kelanie sat quietly in her car, she had finally calmed herself down after crying for almost an hour. “Alex,” she sniffled, trying to hide the tremble in her voice as she picked his call. “Hey, I was wondering when you would be back, dad wanted to see everyone,” Alex said into the phone. Kelanie rubbed her throat in confusion, today just seems to be getting better and better. “I really can’t right now, but I’ll try to be home as soon as I can make it,” Kelanie whispered, a tiny sob breaking out of her. “are you crying?” Alex asked, in voice dripping with worry at the tone of her voice. “no, no, just my allergies acting up,” Kelanie quickly deflected. “okay, stay safe, and get back as soon as you can,” Alex said ending the call. Kelanie felt dejected, everything was moving too fast and she barely had control over it. Her phone rang startling her from her internal musing, “melody,” Kelanie picked up the call, trying to keep her voice steady. “hi Kelanie, so glad I could get to
