“What are you doing here?” Kelanie asked, rising from the chair she was resting on.Xavier had a bored expression on his face. It was a final moment decision, coming here, rather than staying over at Angelica’s house.“It is my father’s house, isn’t it?” He replied.Kelanie’s eyes darkened, “and this is my husband’s house, I don’t want you here,” she spat out the words thick with venom.Xavier released a long sigh, it was only three minutes and Kelanie was on the run of winning the world record for shortest time ever to piss someone off.“get out of my way Kelanie,” Xavier said in a calm tone, his feet were hurting and the stress of the day was finally catching up with him.“Sorry, I had to make sure things were running smoothly in the office,” Peggy said, interrupting the tense stare down between Xavier and Kelanie.“Money sure does change a man,” Kelanie said in a mocking tone, her eyes looking at Peggy with curiosity.“What’s going on in that evil trip of yours that you call a brai
Clarissa sat alone in her room, the golden hue of the morning sun filled the room with much warmth. Her mind was in a turmoil, and she couldn’t understand how it has happened. “She can’t truly be pregnant, I had made sure the doctor had made Alex unable to reproduce,” she thought to herself. True to Alex’s promiscuous lifestyle, Clarissa had made sure to have his swimmers frozen before tying up his tube. Clarissa couldn’t imagine how Kelanie had gotten pregnant, she was angry as she stared at the DNA results in her hand. Everything seemed to be moving too fast, Alex was blinded by the thought of being a father without setting out clear rules for Kelanie. Clarissa had thought of ways to terminate the pregnancy as she had done in the past but she knew Kelanie wasn’t scared of her like the other girls had been. “madam, master Alex requests your presence in the garden,” a maid said, knocking gently on her door. Clarissa heaved a sigh, she knew he was about to confront her on her a
“Imbecile,” the word echoed through the quiet house, startling Peggy out of her reverie.Peggy gasped in shock, her eyes widened in surprise as she watched Kelanie kick the maid with such force. Peggy felt guilty as she sneaked away from the scene but her last encounter still scared her of how venomous Kelanie was. “Avoid Kelanie, she’s the spawn of the devil, who wouldn’t stop until she has destroyed you,” Xavier’s words rang in her ears. Peggy’s eyes were filled with sadness as she tried Angelica’s number again. And true to the thing they had feared most, the worst had happened. “peter, send the information to every news channel you know,” Peggy said I to the phone, signaling Peter. “ Have you told Xavier yet?” Peter asked, his voice filled with worry. “Run the news, I will tell him when he wakes up, I have to make sure he takes his medications and eats properly,” Peggy replied. “I hope Angelica knows what she is doing,” Peter sighed, ending the call. Peggy nodded, “I hope s
“We interrupt this program to be this breaking news, trillonaire tycoon’s wife, Mrs. Angelica Constantine has been reported missing, her last seen location was at the Webley theater with this man known as Oliver Scott,” the reporter announced.Angelica had a proud smirk on her face, she had trapped Oliver in a tight corner and there was nothing he could do about it.If her suspicion was right, this was the kind of heat his boss couldn’t want around his business.Angelica had made sure she knew the kind of man Bella and Oliver were working for.And from the news she had just heard, she was expecting an angry to barge in.“Boss is not going to like this, we can’t have the feds sniffing in on our business,” one of the security men muttered.“Oliver should have just demanded like the boss had intended,” the other replied.“Bring her out,” Oliver’s voice shut the men up instantly.Angelica stifled a groan as she was roughly pulled up from the ground, “move your feet,” the guard growled pus
The sound of TV playing in the room served as background noise. Angelica’s body felt like it was pierced by a thousand needles. She groaned as she tried to sit up, her body resisting any form of movement she tried to make. “Hey,” Xavier greeted, his eyes filled with worry as he rushed to her side. “Water,” Angelica’s voice croaked, her mouth felt like it was filled with sand paper. “Small sips,” Xavier cautioned, placing the glass by her mouth. The water was refreshing, Angelica released a long sigh as the water flowed down her throat. “Mrs. Constantine, I see that you are awake,” Doctor mark said, smiling softly a the couple. Xavier nodded at the doctor a silent greeting, “doctor mark,” he said shaking his hand. “hi,” Angelica greeted, with confusion written all over face. The last thing she could recall was the police barging into the building Oliver had kept her confined in. “Today is the fifth day after your rescue,” the doctor explained. “fifth day?” Angelica asked. “y
Clarissa stood by her window, watching as Alex and Kelanie enjoyed their picnic. Kelanie beamed with joy as Alex handed her a wrapped gift.The image reminded her of the beginning of her relationship with her husband kareel.The sound of her phone ringing brought her back to reality, “what did you find?” Clarissa asked immediately she picked the call, not taking her eyes off her son.“It’s true, the police have Oliver in their custody but the details to his arrest has been kept excluded,” the man replied.“Do you know if the found any body while they arrested him?” Clarissa asked the question that has been plaguing her mind for days.All she had gotten from the news was notice of Angelica’s abduction and since then the media has been quiet, too quiet for her taste.“find out everything you can, even if it means breaking into the police captains office, I don’t pay you to give me no information,” Clarissa snapped ending the call abruptly.She was getting frustrated with the way everyon
The house was tense, everyone was locked in their room dressing in preparation the dinner.“Thank Mr Thompson,” Xavier said, his eyes skimming over the document that had been sent to him. “Xavier, are you sure about this move,” Angelica asked looking at the paperwork with an unsure look on her face. “Yes, I have watched them try to destroy everything my father built, if implement this it would been I have control of the finances,” Xavier replied. In theory the approach was a smart move, if you can control the money then it’s easy to control the number of targets on your back. “just so you know, I don’t care what you do, I will always support you,” Angelica said. “Mr Xavier,” a knock sounded on the door. “Come in Ruby,” Angelica replied. True to Peggy’s words Ruby had become an incredible Intel, it also helped that she was one of the few maids that were nice to him while he was a servant. “The lawyer is downstairs, Peggy is with him,” Ruby informed. “thank you Ruby, please the
Kelanie felt like she was about to throw up. Her ears were ringing as Xavier said the last words. “Who else can approve this,” Clarissa asked, poking like she was about to cry. Kelanie was scared, she had me et seen Clarissa shaken up like this before. “No one, it must go through me before any transfer is made,” Xavier replied. “So you are shutting us out of our right, while you and your whore will squander everything,” Alex yelled, the veins on his neck popping out. “This can’t be happening,” Kelanie thought to herself. Just when she thought that she has had it all figured out, Xavier decided to throw a curveball at her. “I have a child coming on the way, you think two million is enough?” Alex scoffed. “I mean how would you know what it takes to raise a child when you have never had one,” he added. “for the baby and Kelanie’s welfare, a total of one and a half million would be deposited into any account of her choosing,” Xavier said. Clarissa had been quiet for a while, “wh
