The drive home wasn’t as smooth as it was meant to be. Kelanie’s mind was filled with thoughts, scenarios of how everything could finally go down in shit. “Alex honey,” kelanie whispered, picking the call on its first ring. “It’s almost time and you are yet to be here,” Alex muttered, he sounded unimpressed with her antics. Kelanie rolled her eyes, she had had enough of men trying to tell her how to act and not act. “Alex, if I drive any faster, I’m going to kill myself and our baby, do you want that?” she asked. “no,” Alex said in a low tone, he hated whenever kelanie went all dark and said things like this. “I’m sorry, but just get here as soon as you can, I love you,” Alex said. Kelanie rolled her eyes, ending the call without responding to him. Today had been terrible, she had left feeling great only to be trapped in a huge debt with Mr Russell and also have a somewhat embarrassing moment in the company, thanks to Xavier and Mr Kane. Now hearing that the police are lookin
Clarissa looked at the masked men with shock on her face. “How will I know who I am looking for,” she thought to herself. Clarissa knew she wouldn’t put it past Angelica to have made the suggestion to doctor Lee. “I also employed a security team, who would be guarding the door, to ensure nothing and no unauthorized persons walks in,” doctor Lee continued. “Good, good,” Mr kareel nodded. It was obvious that doctor Lee’s quick thinking and resourcefulness really impressed Mr kareel. “Peggy has prepared the room, she will show you to the room,” Xavier said, finally speaking up. Clarissa had a scowl on her face as she watched Peggy lead the men out, her eyebrows furrowed, “how would we know that Peggy hasn’t been used by Xavier to sabotage this?” Clarissa hissed. Mr kareel smiled, “Xavier,” he said smiling proudly at his son. “the rooms are fixed with security cameras, which we will all sit here and watch the live feed,” Xavier said, turning the television on. Kelanie’s eyes wid
Alex watched with keen interest as Xavier moved from room to room, his aura of confidence could be felt through the screen. He barely broke a sweat. Kelanie hissed in frustration as the process went smoothly for Xavier. He hadn’t tried to talk to the doctors, he looked unworried. Kelanie wish she could wipe the smug look off his face. “Don’t worry, you won’t be so confident when I am done with you,” she muttered to herself, staring at the screen. The only plan on Clarissa’s mind was finding the quickest way to exchange Xavier’s samples with Alex’s.The flaw side to the plan was that kelanie also had the same thought. But it wasn’t like they were both willing to share their intentions. Xavier walked back into the siting room with smiles on his face, his ego pissed kelanie and Clarissa off. “Okay, and the last but not the least person is Alex,” Mr kareel said, smiling gently at the boy.“What?” Alex spluttered, his eyes wide in shock. Kelanie looked stunned at the recent develop
“How would you like me to proceed? Doctor Lee asked. Mr kareel smiled, “I would rather the result be shown on the screen,” he said. Xavier turned to his father, “father,” he called, looking at me kareel with a puzzled look on his face. Xavier understood his father was trying to show Clarissa her wrong doing, but he didn’t buy the idea of dropping the message like a bomb on Alex. “That is my decision Xavier,” Mr kareel said in a hard tone. Angelica flinched at the harshness in Mr kareel’s voice, she has never heard the man speak in such harsh tone. Xavier bowed his head slightly, he could see the anger in his father’s eyes. Even though Clarissa and Alex had put him through a lot of things, he stalk didn’t think Alex deserved to find out the truth about himself in such manner. The first result that rolled on the screen was Angelica, it was no surprise when it showed positive. It was the same for Xavier, and Alex sat with a frown on his face, he couldn’t understand why his father
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. Clarissa knew they wasn’t much she could do, Mr kareel wasn’t a very forgiving man who would f
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
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
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
