Legs entangled, back rested on the couch for more than fifteen minutes. Xavier has been like that since he brought Charlotte to their family hospital, and he hasn't moved an inch.The picture frame of her and her babies has been stuck in his head. He couldn't get his mind off, and it is making him lose his mind.He has been hallucinating, those delightful, cheerful smiles they had on their faces, made him want to go back and ask Matilda to consent him take a good look at it.He has so many questions he intends to ask her. There's no way Charlotte would have given birth to all of them, he thought.Xavier was still in his world of thought, when the door to the room flung open, and his father and the doctor strode inside.The sound of their footsteps pulled him back to the present. He spun around and came into view with his father."Doctor, father, when did you walk in?" He asked, standing up from the couch."Just now. You did an impressive job, I knew I could put my trust in you. Thank
Evelyn marches to Xavier's office with a cup of coffee he requested immediately he arrived at the company. She pushed further inside as soon as he gave her his consent.She strode to his desk, swinging her hips, clutching tightly to the cup. "Boss, here's the coffee you requested." She said, and lean forward to place it on his desk. Her cleavage was widely open, that you could see her boobs. This was her way of trying to get Xavier's attention, but it wasn't working because he was so engrossed on his phone when she leaned on his desk."Where are the documents I asked for?" Xavier asked, taking a sip from the coffee.Evelyn mumbled an apology, before she walked out of the office, and returned with the documents."This is for the newly signed project. This is for the three estates that have been completed, and this is an ongoing project at desert jade villas." She explained, while handing each to him."The newly signed project is at which street?" Xavier asked, and opened one of the d
Matilda helped herself out of the car, and mumbled a thank you to Alex standing next to her."Thank you so much, Mr Alex. You can go ahead, I will take a cab on my way back to the hospital." Matilda said, with a small smile on her face."If you're not staying long, I can drive you back. Just get the things you need, I will be outside waiting for you." He responded, and lean on his car, his hand rested in his pocket."Okay. Please come inside and have a seat, you can't stay out here." Matilda insisted.Alex wanted to decline and stay back in the car until she's out, but he found himself doing the opposite."Okay, lead the way, please." He said, with his hands out.They stride to the entrance, Matilda put in the password, and they walked inside. The first thing that caught Alex's eyes, is the same as what Xavier hasn't been able to take off his mind.It wasn't just about the picture frame, but the resemblance of the Children. Most of them looked exactly like Xavier, and there was no doub
The sound of her feet pondering against the floor, resonates around the vicinity as she runs as hard as her feet could carry her.She clearly had no idea of where she was running to. The sense of direction depends on Which direction the wind blew her.Terror filled her body as she felt them getting closer to her, and she carries her leg as fast as she could.She knew if anything happens to her right now, she can't go back and save her babies, they will probably be taken into slavery, and she can't allow that to happen.The thought of her octuplets occupied her head, and she wills herself to run faster than earlier.As she increased her speed, a sharp object was ahead of her, when she got to the spot, it lacerated her feet, and she fell to the ground.She cried out in pain, and tried to get up the floor, but fell back. She looked to the direction to see the men in masks still coming after her.She tried to get up the floor, but fell back again. Just then, before she could register what
Three days later.On a Wednesday afternoon, Naefah and her sisters sat quietly waiting for Alley or Matilda to come pick them up from school. They were not thrilled because Matilda didn't fulfill her promise to them.They have not been privilege to talk to their mum for the past five days. Matilda keeps making her promise to them, but none has been fulfilled, and it's pass five days already.Charlotte was getting discharged today from the hospital, they heard about it, and pleaded to stay back at home to make something nice for her, but Matilda declined and asked them to go to school. They couldn't convince her, that was why they came to school.Mariyah suggested one of them should feign being sick, but Zarah objected. They have done that several times just to stay back home and send detective Scott their discoveries on the murder case.As they sat down with long faces, Mariyah sighted her uncle James, and her face lit up. She knew he was probably going to the ICT room."Girls, I think
Xavier and his father were seated, alongside veronica's lawyer in the Interrogation room, waiting for the cops to bring in the reporter, and Veronica for questioning.The reporter has gotten beaten countless times, but he keeps denying he doesn't have an accomplice, everything he did was for himself, he needed money, which Mr Xi did not buy his lies.Multiple Investigations have been carried out on his family members, but no one has been located, not even he's wife.Xavier urged his father to stay back home and have enough rest, but because he was being stubborn, he didn't listen. Mr Xi had something he wanted to confirm, that was why he refused to listen to his son.Xavier was busy on his phone, when he heard his father's voice. "Have you gone to see her? How is she feeling?"He lifted his head up, and turned to his father. "No father, I haven't, I want her to have enough rest. I wouldn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.""She's carrying my Grand child, you need to be there for he
A cab came to a halt, and Arya stepped down from the car. She paid off the cab driver, and turned to her house direction.As she marched to the entrance, she lurches when she saw a few of her thing's outside, not sure, they were her belongings.She carried her legs, and ran to the entrance of the house, checking the stuff to confirm they were hers.Arya quickly fell to the ground to plead with the house owner."Please, you can't do this to me, I promised to pay. Do not send me away, I don't have anywhere to go." Arya pleaded, seeing her things been thrown out.But the old man didn't pay a listening ear, he continued bringing out her clothes."You will no longer stay here, you can't be a burden to me, take your stuff and leave this vicinity.""Please, you can't send me away, you can't break your promise. Okay, if it pleases you, let me pay, I will pay for my stay, rent the studio to me."The first time she came to him for help, she narrated lies to him, which made him take pity on her,
The Divisional police officer (DPO) stride to Scott's office holding some documents. He sighted Scott on his way out, and halt when they came closer to each other."Good day Boss." Scott greeted, and helped him with the documents he was holding."Are you heading somewhere?" He asked."No, I just wanted to drop this with the team. But I will do that later, please come inside." Scott responded, leading the way back to his office. He has not had enough rest since he came to the office. He left for the address the reporter gave to him to carry out some investigation."How did your investigation go? Were you able to get the information?" He asked, taking a sit opposite Scott."Boss, things are getting more complicated. And I don't think Veronica herself is safe. The journalist she's dating is not completely innocent." Scott replied, his tone sounded exhausting."Complicated?" He asked with knitted brows, and continued. "What do you mean? What did you find out?""The person we're looking f
