The airport was choked up, Xavier couldn't find his father amidst the crowd. He thought of calling his line, but then thought it would be best to go check him at the exit, perhaps he was outside waiting for him.Xavier turned on his heels, and began to stride to the exit. The stares and murmurs he got from the crowd were becoming much, and he had to fasten his pace to leave the place.He walked back to his car, and checked around the vicinity looking for his father, until he heard footsteps, and halt to listen."Are you looking for me?" A voice spoke up, and he turned around to see Alex and his father."Father, I was looking for you, did you just arrive?" He asked, his face a bit wrinkled."No, I have been around for more than thirty minutes. Alex came in time to pick me up.""Man, is this your plan to steal my father from me? Who said you could come pick him up?" Xavier teased, and nudged his shoulders."At least I came in time, you should have been here earlier." Alex chuckled."It'
Arya's eye's snapped open as soon as she felt someone pouring water on her face. She adjusted her gaze, and fidgeted when she saw the giant's standing in her presence.The memory of last night crept into her head, and fear engulf her. She passed out last night, and slept the whole day unconscious.She looked down at her body, she was still naked. She tried to snuggle closer to the bed, but couldn't because her legs were tied to a chair, and her hand's to the back."You must have had a lot of fun to sleep for this long." The giant figure said, caressing her face.Arya tilted her head, so he wouldn't touch her, but he grabbed her chin, and pulled her face forward."Do you want to have your way with me for the second time, you monster. You must be horny that you can't keep your balls in your pants." Arya cussed, with a scorn look on her face.As soon as she closed her mouth, a resounding slap landed on her face, the sound echoed in the room."Dress her up, and place her on the bed, the b
"Do you like this? The waitress said it looks perfect on me, so I asked her to keep it for me." Charlotte said, and she twirls around, showing him the dress.Xavier strode closer to her, scanning her from head to toe. The dress clutch tightly to her body, showing off her cleavage, and backside.He began to use his eyes to undress her, thinking of what he would have done to her if they were alone."What are you doing? I asked if you love the dress, if you don't like it, I can pick out a new one." She said, her eyes kept following his gaze.Xavier has gotten arouse, his eyes are slowly turning red as he glued his eyes to her cleavage."Amour, don't you think we should spend some time together before heading back to the office? I want you." He whispered, brushing his lips around her neck.It's been awhile since he made an attempt to touch her, after the sex they had in the washroom. And because of the eight weeks baby inside her, he would rather not touch her."Look at me, we can't do t
The continuous pacing kept distracting Antonio from thinking straight. He got fed up, and rose from the dinning chair, leading his way to the living room.Nate followed behind, until he took a sit on the couch, and he halt in front of him. Antonio sigh, and shook his head."I don't know for how long you intend to keep this up, I have told you I don't know, she chooses to leave." Antonio said, avoiding eye contact with Nate."You haven't told me what happened when I was gone. Mother was healthy, and happy before I flew out, you can't tell me you don't know her where about, that's absurd father."He knows Nate will not give up if he doesn't tell him what happened, and why his mother had to leave. He gulped, and vigorously lifted his head to look at his eyes."I had to visit my brother regarding the erased footage, because I suspected him, which she did accompanied me. Xi said about what happened to your sister, and she believed I lied to her. I wanted to bring her home, but she refused,
He took enough of his time grinning, before he spun around to see Alex and Xavier ten feet away from him with dark expression."Dear nephew, it's good to see you again, it's been awhile we had fun, don't you think?" Alex asked, still grinning.'Is this supposed to be mockery?' Xavier thought because he knew what he was talking about. The night he drugged him at the hotel, Nate told him he wanted to have some fun and invited him over to the hotel."You haven't answered my question Nate, why are you here? This isn't your place of work." Xavier asked again, and took a step further."I'm going to ask nicely, I know you have Arya with you, release her before I report you to the police, the torment has to do stop, she has paid enough for her crimes.""What made you think he has Arya with him? Why would you even think he would kidnap her?" Alex chimed in."I Know he is watching my moves, and he knows I'm in a relationship with her. I will advise you to release her, before I end up doing wha
The maid returned with Margaret downstairs. She freezes in her stand when she saw Matilda and two of the octuplets who accompanied her to the mansion.The girls were engrossed scanning around the house with smiling faces, and did not notice when Margaret walked into the room."I bet this is your first time you are coming to such a mansion. You should be privilege, you got to step your leg in here." Margaret got the attentions of the girls using her haughty attitude."There's nothing to be privilege about or even honored." Aliyah retaliated, and both the girls shrugged."What is that supposed to mean?" Margaret asked, with a scrunch face. "These are material things, they might be beautiful, but someday, they will lose their value. That's why I said it's not a privilege, it was a bond to occur."'Such boldness she has gotten to talk to me in such a manner, she even sounds like an adult, whose talking to her mate' Margaret thought, but couldn't do a thing."Aliyah that's enough, you sho
"I found it, this is where her phone was turned off. We need to track the last number that called her." Mariyah said, pointing at the location on the laptop screen."How do we track the last number that called her? Also, the phone is turned off, there's no way we can switch it on." Hilda responded, with a wrinkled face."Lailah can do it, she was the one who help installed the tracker, but how do we get to her? She's in the living room, if we call her, it will look suspicious." Nadiyah said, and they all embarked on a long silent.An idea popped into zarah's head, and she tilted her head, with a small smile on her face."I know what to do, I will go get water from the fridge, I will give her a sign when I passed." She jerked up, excited."Be careful, Aunt Alley shouldn't catch you there." Mariyah said, before Zarah strode out of the room for her mission.As she walked into the living room, Lailah was the one comforting Aunt Alley, while they waited for Matilda and the other's to retur
The reporters and newscasters gathered at Salvador's house, waiting for him to come out and give a speech regarding the human body they found outside his house. But unbeknownst to them, he wasn't inside.Antonio made sure his guards lured the reporters to his house, after dropping off the human part's at his mansion.Mr Salvador was at the edge of losing his mind because of the incident. Two days back, he had to visit his friend to take down his daughter's scandal, and it made the company lose quite a lot of clients.In today's world, people believe what they want to believe, not what they think is considered as the truth. And for Salvador, he is not ready to convince the public that he was framed.As an entrepreneur and a business - minded person who is doing well in business, he believes people will always scheme a way to bring you down, and wait for your downfall. Once an opportunity to bring you down comes, the society will take it personally.While the reporters waited for either
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
