Ladies couldn't take their eyes off him, they were unable to stop staring at him, seeing him dressed in a black leather jacket with a jeans, which accentuated his well-built structure.The sight of him alone makes them go crazy about him, it makes ladies want to have them all to themselves and wouldn't mind having him for the whole night.But just like always, he doesn't care about them, he has no interest in a woman, and he has never found anyone attractive. Not until lately, a woman is occupying his thoughts, he is always thinking about her.A day has never passed without the thought of her, and how he could make her cajoled to his quest. He buried his left her in his pocket pant, while the other rested on his side, as he strode up to the welcoming area to pick up his best friend.Alex waved at him, immediately he saw him, and Xavier marched up to him."Why are you late? You kept me waiting up for you. If you were that busy, you should have kindly let me know, I would have called m
Charlotte has gotten much better, and resumed back to her workplace. She has load of work to attend to, before the end of today.The days she has missed, choked up a lot of work from filing documents, sending out mails, creating records and more.Xavier was kind enough to make Evelyn take a part from some of her work, even though she still acts like the manager.The sound of her phone chirped, and it made her halt from working. She picked it up to check, it was time for the company's meeting.She was informed that all departments, ranking from engineering, accounting, administration, and marketing/sales will be having a meeting with the president.Charlotte picked up her notes, and pen, before leaving her office. She got to the podium meeting hall room to find most employees already seated.She slowly marched her way up to an empty seat, and made herself comfortable, ignoring the crowds staring at her. Everyone knows what happened to her.Ever since she was employed, she has always be
Xavier stood up, and stride after her. He was not sure if she's scared of the dark, or perhaps something was wrong with her.He waited in her office, until she returned and met him on her waiting couch. He stood up with his hands in his pocket, striding closer to her."What was that all about? Do you still feel sick?" He asked, and lifted his hands to feel her temperature, but she moved before his hands could get to her face."I'm okay. I got scared when the lights went off, that was all. I'm not sick." She responded, shivering in fear."Why are you shivering? You said you're not sick, why are your hands shivering?" He asked, and waited for her reply, but she never uttered a word.He felt soft hands wrap around his waist. The cologne was enough for him to know who the figure was."We're in an office environment, let go of me." He said, calmly, but she didn't budge.He tried to unwrap her hands from his waist, but she held him tightly, with her head resting on his back.Charlotte lifte
09:20pmXavier walked into the room and saw the place in disarray with used condom. He took his time to count them out, it was a total of thirteen used condoms laying loathsome on the floor.He looked at his friend on the bed, and shook his head. Alex is a bad player, he uses ladies and dumps them the way he uses his clothes. And once he uses you, he never repeats the same cloths.Xavier lean on the bed, and tapped on him gently. He repeated it for like thrice, but he did not move an inch. After attempting for the fourth time, and he didn't move, Xavier carried one of the pillows and hit him hard on his head."What was that for? You should have just called out my name, man, do you have to use that on me?" Alex whined as he jerked up."What is your problem? When are you ever going to change? Don't tell me you had a threesome with all these condom's?""I had a sevensome, not a threesome, I couldn't feed to my satisfaction, I had to bring in an extra four to make it seven." Alex's respon
The sound of spoons and plates, echoed in the kitchen continuously, causing noises in the house. The girls were getting ready to leave for school, and just had breakfast.Matilda hurried to the kitchen when she heard the noises were becoming louder. She walked in and met some, dropping their plates in the sink, while others were busy beside the fridge."I said go drop your plates in the kitchen, I didn't say turn the house to a market. When are you girls going to learn? Tomorrow, you all will insist you're grown up.""Grandma, we didn't do anything, it's just the noise, and we're rushing to leave home." Hilda responded, holding a cup."If you wanted to go earlier, you should have woken up when the alarm rang, and what are you doing with a cup?""I want to make milk for mummy before she leaves for work. She doesn't look fine." Nadiyah responded."Are you girls sure you would rather not be late for school? If you make milk for mummy, when will you get to school?" She asked, and they pou
The chauffeur turned on the car's engine, and drove back to the company. After a few minutes, drive, they arrived at the company. Xavier was getting ready to step off the car, when his father stopped him and provided him some documents.He looked down at the documents, and back to his father, skeptical if he should accept it, not knowing what it entailed.Mr Xi might lure him into collecting it, and once he does, he must do whatever is inside, and that's what he is abstaining from."Why are you giving it to me? What's inside? I don't remember asking for documents from you?"'Here we go again, I thought he would have changed' Mr Xi thought, with a tight-lipped smile. He knows why Xavier doesn't want to collect it."These are documents of everything I have ever owned. Ranking from the company to all the houses and stores. Everything is inside."Xavier furrowed his brows, he doesn't recall asking for it, so there's no reason why he's father is giving them to him."Why are you giving them
The thought of getting detained was all she could think of. The one night she spent the first time she got detained still makes her irked whenever she recalls it, and she would rather not experience another.Earlier today, before she got off from work, Xavier asked her to go to the station, and meet with the lawyer.He had requested to question her, and here she is sitting in the interrogation room, waiting for him to show up.Charlotte felt something might go wrong, and she will be detained back. Her gaze was cast down, when the lawyer and Scott walked into the room."Hello, thank you for your patience. I'm veronica's lawyer, I have a few questions to ask you, I want you to give me your honest response."Charlotte got more nervous, she felt her palms becoming sweaty, and her legs trembling.Scott noticed, and sat close to the lawyer."Ms Charlotte, look at me." She slowly lifted her head up to meet his gaze, and he continued."You might be thinking we're detaining you back, no we're n
Nate's stride to the balcony, carrying two glasses of alcohol, with a satisfy smirk on his face. He reached out to his father, and passed him a glass of alcohol, taking a seat opposite him."Cheer's to good life, cheers to our success." Antonio said, with his glass up. Nate held his up, and their glass clinks. They smiled, and took a sip from their glasses."Father, its feels good to be back in California, we should have been here last year." Nate said, relaxing more on the swing bed."Why are you in such a hurry? If we had not taken our time to plan things out, this wouldn't have been a success." Antonio responded, and Nate raised his brows to look at him, with the glass of wine on his lips."It's good we're finally here, soon we will take back everything uncle took away from us, and avenge my sister's death.""That's the first thing to do before going after him. I will handle things my way, you just follow my lead."They heard the clap of hands, and footsteps marching towards them.
ONE YEAR LATERToday marks exactly one year since they lost Antonio. Also, Mr Xi's sentence ends today. Xavier, Alex, and the girls stood outside the prison waiting for him to stride out of the gate.They stood there with smiles on their faces waiting for him, and soon the gate slowly crept open, expecting him to march out, but no one came out.Zarah spun to the back, and looked up to Xavier, "Daddy, why is no one coming out?" She asked, perplexity laced over her face.The other girls quickly turned around with the same look, waiting for his response. "Ahh, I'm not certain, but let's wait, if he doesn't come out in the next five minutes, we will go inside.""There he comes…" Hilda yelled, pointing at him, and they all ran up to him with excitement. Alex and Xavier beamed, turned on their heels and followed the girls behind."Good morning father." Alex greeted, and Mr Xi let go of the girls, and pulled him into a hug."Alex, I'm thrilled to see you are in good health, your father must b
The Lawyers defended their client's base on the little evidence they got, and there made up stories. It went on for about two hours, and the judge's just listened, while writing down some note.Thirty minutes later, the lawyer's rested their cases. The magistrates whispered to themselves, and one of judges cleared his voice to talk."Before I give my Verdict, Mr white, I have a question for your client." He said, and continued."Mr Salvador, the evidence we have here shows that you murdered Ms Arya. My question here is: What was her offense? You were keen for revenge, what those her death got to do with your revenge?"Salvador's lawyer abruptly stood up to defend him, but one of the judge's quickly hit the desk to shut him up."The question is directed to your clients and not you, sit down." The lawyer respected himself, and sat down while they waited for him to talk.Five minutes into waiting, Salvador couldn't utter a word. He has so many regrets, even after everything, he did not su
TWO DAY'S LATERThe incessant knock from the house gate got Charlotte's attention from the girl's room. She paused and listened, to be sure it was from their gate, but the knock never came, which made her shrugged and got back to picking out clothes for the girls.Immediately she was done and turned to them, she heard the knock again. She dropped the clothes on the bed, and strode out of the room, heading to the balcony at the last stairs. You can see whoever is at the gate standing there.Charlotte got to the balcony, and came into view with Sofia and her mother standing close to the gate, and it made her heart skip. But then, the guards were outside, why were they not doing anything about it? She thought.She hurried to their bedroom, and pushed open. "The gate, she's at the gate with her mother." Charlotte rushed out.Xavier furrowed his brow's, and marched close to her. "What are you talking about? Who's at the gate? I have been hearing the knock, why are the guards not doing anyt
The girls ran up to Alley, and pulled her into a warm hug, which she instantly reciprocated. As soon as jasper reached out to her, and told her the girls were back with their Dad, Alley couldn't keep calm, and had to hurry back to the house."I have missed you girls, hope you're not hurt?" Alley asked, and they bobbed their head in response. She disentangled the hug, taking a look at their body, one after another, to be certain there's no injury on them."You must have been excited, it hasn't been long they arrived, but you're here already." Matilda said, watching her as she continues to scan their body for injuries."I miss them, Aunt, I couldn't wait to see them. Where is best?" She asked, and halt when she realized she has not seen her."They are upstairs, you know how she behaves, she got mad for missing him too much." Matilda responded, shaking her head. 'Charlotte still acts like a child' Matilda thought."I thought as much, she couldn't stop crying her eyes out. Girls, I brou
The day went by quickly, and it was almost time for their plane to depart. But before then, Xavier made sure his girls were looking neat, and clean. He bought clothes for everyone and got the cab driver a new car after selling the one Pablo came with to Miami.Xavier went far ahead, and made a second attempt to convince the cab driver to come with them to California, but he still declined. After much persuasion, he gave up and asked for his house address instead, which the driver gave him."It's time to get going, girls, are you ready?" Xavier asked. "Yes Daddy." The girls chorused excitedly."Alright, let's get going, Pablo, guide them to the plane, I will join you soon.""Bye Grandpa." They waved at the cab driver, and Pablo bowed his head in respect, before they marched to the plane."I wish you would come with us, I booked you a flight already, all you have to do is join us.""Mr Xavier, I have told you no amount of persuasion will make me change my mind. Thank you for everything
Xavier stood at the edge of the cliff looking at the giant's soak in a pool of blood. He blinked his eyes, and tears ran down his cheeks as he thought of what his daughters must have gone through.He spun around, hurried towards them and pulled them into a hug for the second time. "How are my angel's doing? Do you have any injuries? Are you hurt? Are you starving?" He rushed out, the tears still running down his cheeks.The girls disentangle the hug from him when they heard him cry. Mariyah cupped his face in her hands, and used her thump to wipe his tears."Daddy, you are a hero, you're our superhero, why are you crying when you came to save us?""I'm sorry I came late, I don't know what I would have done if I had lose you. I don't know what I would have told your mom. You girls are all we have, I can't be separated from you again. You all are my life, you are all I have gotten.""But Daddy, we are fine? You saved us. At first, we were scared this will be the end of us, not until y
The nine hours drive finally ended, though they arrived late, it was already 10am. The cab driver brought him to the hotel the GPS directed them."This is my card, that's my number, please be patient with me until I get my girls back. I will fly back to Atlanta and make sure I pay you."The cab driver looked down at his card and back to his face. "I don't think it's necessary, just give me the wristwatch, that's enough for my payment."Xavier looked down at his watch and back to the cab driver. "I'm sorry I can't give you a broken watch, if you want the watch as your token, I don't mind buying a new one for you."The cab driver stretched his hands down to his, and pulled out the watch from his hands."Don't worry, I will get it fixed, you can go now, you have to save your kids."He spun to his left, pulled out a knife from his chair, and handed it to Xavier."You don't have a weapon with you, take this, you have to protect yourself."Xavier collected it with a thank you, and stepped o
"I can't believe all this has been happening, and neither you nor father told me. How could you consent him to go out there without back-ups?" Bryan was disappointed in his parents, they kept such thing away from him.He had his doubt in days, and went ahead to contact jasper, who told him the girls have been kidnapped, and Xavier was out of California to go find them.Margaret could barely talk loud, this pass few days have been hectic for them. "Bryan, don't tell me you took the night plane just to come question me about this?" She mustered the courage to speak as loud as she could."Common mother, I have every right to question you. You call me every day and each time I ask you about him, you tell me he is fine.""I had to do that, I can't tell you what's happening, besides your father said not to let you know. How is that my fault?"Bryan heaved a loud sigh, he thought as much, it was all his father's idea, there's no reason for his mother not to tell him what was going on with th
A loud growl slipped through Xavier's lips, as he felt someone hit a heavy object on his legs. He scrunched his face, chew the pain back trying to help himself off the floor.Xavier pressed his hands on the floor for support, slowly lifting himself up. As soon he was up, the object landed on his legs, but this time he didn't growl or cry in pain.His head and legs ache extremely, but he will himself to stay strong, even though he kept feeling the legs were being ripped out of his body.Xavier lifted his head up, with a squinted eye, not able to see clearly. He opened his eyes more, and came into view with a silhouette of some men in the room."Were you planning to keep sleeping? Don't you have to save your daughters?" They mock, scanning his features disdainfully.His head was banging, but he ignored, and slowly snapped his eyes open fully. He saw three men standing in front of him, barricading him from seeing the person behind them."Who are you people? What do you want from me?" He
