❤️ ALYSSA ❤️ “Alyssa.” I heard the voice called and I raised my head. I looked at his face and I could tell he looked familiar, but I didn’t know where I have seen him before. “Don’t tell me you don’t recognize me!” He asked, and I opened my mouth to say something, but he cuts in. “Wait a minute, what is the respectable secretary to the CEO of the best company in the country doing in a club, huh.” Secretary, he knows I’m Mr Xavier’s Secretary then maybe I’m getting kidnapped instead of being raped. “Please sir, I don’t have anything on me and as you just said, I’m just a secretary, so please don’t kidnap me.” I begged, and he laughed. “What the hell! Kidnap you, is that how you see me, an abductor. What are you doing here, the club is that way and not this way, Miss Brown.” He adds. “Let me go.” I heard Maddy screams and I gasped, coming back to my senses. “Sir please you need to save me, no not me, my friend. She is in danger.” “Danger.” He asked. “Yes, s….som
XAVIER. This is getting weird and confusing, Chelsea is getting too close to Alyssa and I don’t like it. I looked at the lady in my front that was talking and coaxing my daughter and I could see was the affection she had towards Chelsea, for someone who just confessed her feelings and got rejected by the same man who you are working for as his daughter’s nanny, she really has a heart of gold. I mean I wasn’t expecting to see her today, I thought maybe she would take a day or two off, but she’s here looking good, no not too good. She looked like shit, wait has she been drinking. I looked at them again as they hugged, ‘she would be a great mother to Chelsea and our unborn children’ I thought and cringed, there’s no way I’m getting married to Alyssa. Don’t get me wrong, nothing is wrong with her, but I can’t see myself settling down after Charlotte. She said something about leaving and talking to her from time to time, wait is she planning on leaving. No, she wouldn’t do that, the A
XAVIER. “Sir, whiskey is here.” A guard said, walking in. “Let him in.” He opened the door and walked out, a minute later, whiskey came in. “Good afternoon boss.” I nodded, and he placed a brown envelope on my table. I stared at it then him. “Sir, Miss Chelsea and her nanny went to Favy’s Treats and the person they met there was Mr. Williams.” I nodded and picked the envelope up, I brought out the pictures and saw the one of Chelsea and Alyssa walking into the restaurant, and another of Alyssa and Benjamin shaking hands. “You may leave.” He bowed before leaving out. I sighed, What’s Alyssa doing with Benjamin? I stared at the next picture of them laughing together like they’ve known each other for ages, like old-time friends. I thought she loved me. Then why is she with another man and at of all men she chose my best friend, is she that desperate for my attention. I scoffed, standing up I walked to my mini bar in my office and poured myself a drink then took a huge gu
XAVIER. I couldn’t do or say anything as I watched her go, she left crying profusely and I was unable to do anything. I made the woman that I lov.... no that loves me cry and also called her a coquette. What was I thinking? I called her names that she isn’t, she was only with Benjamin because he saved her from some rapist and how I am speculating that she is going out with him, and she is also quitting from her job, both jobs. What am I going to tell Chelsea when she finds out her nanny left because of me. I sighed and went to my room. A Week Later (Chelsea’s Birthday) I walked inside her room and saw her still sleeping on her bed. I sauntered towards her and sat on the bed. “Good morning, angel.” I pecked her sleeping face, she stirred and groaned before opening her eyes. “Happy birthday, love.” She got up with no enthusiasm for her birthday. The birthday spirit isn’t there, she’s sad I know, and I don’t know what to do. “Happy birthday baby.” I repeated and didn’t
❤️ ALYSSA ❤️ I halted when I saw the huge banner at the entrance with Chelsea’s picture. Wait a minute, don’t tell me Maddy and Ben brought me to Chelsea's birthday. “Guess you are no longer curious.” Ben said, and I glared at him, then Maddy, who was holding an innocent face and I knew too well that there’s nothing innocent about her. “Why on earth did you bring me to her birthday?” I yelled, not minding the glance I’m getting from other people. “I want my little champ to be happy. She feels so down and even her birthday didn’t excite her, it’s more like a death day than a birthday.” He said, and I smacked his hand. “How can you say that?” How could he say my baby birthday is more like a death day. “It’s the truth. I don’t know what happened between you and Xavier, but it affected my baby, she no longer talks to her dad, guess you quitting did wonders on her.” She isn’t what…, oh baby. I’m so sorry, I didn’t know my absence will affect her, and she isn’t talking to
Forty. Few Hours Later. It was 7:00 pm and the so-called adult party had started, the kids left with their parents at 6:00 pm, so it took the decorators an hour to change the hall setting. I must say the party was damn awesome, there were male and female artistes and also actors and actresses, not newbies, I’m talking about popular celebrities. Looks like Mr. Xavier knows everybody because politicians, business owners and even some presidents of other countries came just to acknowledge Chelsea’s birthday. I’m so certain that by now my mouth will be filled with flies because I was gobsmacked. Who will ever think that I will be able to see these celebrities in reality. I saw Mr Xavier speaking with the Barbie doll, the one I saw at the office some time ago, I sipped from my glass and turned to say something to Maddy but paused when I saw Ben and her in a serious conversation, it was like I was a ghost in their midst. I excused myself and went to the bar stand. “Hey, beautiful
XAVIER. After making sure Chelsea was sleeping and left in safe hands, my mum’s. I came back to the adult party which was kind of big, I didn’t know it will be this big, I only invited some few guests and all but anyway they are already here, so I will be a good host and welcome them. I was sitting with Mira and at the same time I was oblivious to whatever she was saying, all my attention was on one person, her. Alyssa and that chocolate haired boy have been talking for quite some time now, and I don’t like it, she looked so happy talking to him like she wasn’t the same girl who confessed her feelings and left me in guilt. I watched every of her movement, and I was so glad when the boy excused himself to make or take a call. Alyssa stood up and went to the restroom area, and awhile later she returned talking to another guy, was it her thing to talk to guys, handsome guys to be precise. “Xavier, Xavier.” Mira tapped my arm and I stared at her. “Did you say something?” I aske
Chapter forty two. ❤️ ALYSSA ❤️ Speaking with a friend you haven’t seen for months now is so awkward but with the help of memories I was able to scale through, but I completely lost interest in whatever he was saying when Mr Xavier stood up holding his head like he was in pain. He walked to the other side slowly with the Barbie doll following closely, and he stopped, he brought out his phone and typed on it, then Ben walked to his side. I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but with the expression in Ben’s face I knew something was wrong, he helped me Xavier to the elevator then walked back and grabbed the doll, dragging her out. She was screaming trying to gain attention, but due to the loud music and chatters, one was unable to hear what she was saying. What was wrong with him? Is he okay, was he sick? I shook my head, no I shouldn’t be bothered by him, but what if he needs help. “Aly, are you listening to me?” I got up quickly and gave him an apologetic smile. “I’m so
