Xavier's POV

The first thought that runs through my mind is calling Dave hoping he has tabs on her. I can't lose her again.

"Good morning …" before he can even finish I cut him off.

"Leah is missing!" I drop the bomb. But to my surprise, he doesn't panic. Well, he has been trained to stay calm in such situations and think with a clear head but this is different. He doesn't jump up to instruct my security team.

"Do I need to repeat myself?" I ask threateningly

"Oh no, Sir. That is not it, I was just waiting for you to finish speaking so I could tell you that I saw Mrs. Kings on her way to you a few minutes ago" he explains.

Oh.

I sigh in relief, still surprised by my behavior lately. I don't dwell much on the thought because as I sit my body feels very tired and worn out.

Am doing this for my stocks I say to myself as I think of sleeping for a few hours then I realize that I can't just yet because, I have a board meeting to attend, and am sure those fuckers will exhaust me.

So I push my desire away and move away from her.Walking into the shower, I shut the door behind me probably leaving her very frustrated because I sure am. I turn on the cold shower and let the water run down my naked body while I think of how to deal with the damages I am expecting today.After a quick shower, I make sure I pick one of my best suits so I can look the part as I bring out the billionaire bastard in me. "Get the car ready," I tell Dave over the phone as I walk out of my room to the main door."All the best today Xavier" I hear Leah's soft voice behind me. But I don't turn to acknowledge her. One look at her will drive me nuts because just hearing her voice has already made my member twitch inside me. How does she have this effect on me?"Good morning Sir" Dave greets

    Xavier's POV Getting out of the office is something else. Trying to distract me from going home with William, they follow me behind asking all sorts of unnecessary questions. "Sir, are you sure about this?" One of them asks. "Of course, people want to turn this company into a circus. If you did not steal or misuse your authority you shouldn't worry." I respond not bothering to even look back. "Don't you think this will anger the board and they will find it disrespectful?" Another one asks. Are they serious? "Respect? And why would the board be angry when my actions will ensure that all the funds are used accordingly, shouldn't they raise my salary instead?" I ask, now stopping and turning around. Enough of this game. "Thank you so much, everyone, I respect you all no matter your position in this company. This action is not meant to harm anyone but to protect your hard-earned investments. So please excuse me, the rest of the questions can be reserved for the next board mee

All the pain they put me through instantly flashes in my mind like someone just pressed play on a memory I have desperately tried not to face.

But amidst the chaos, a new voice rises—a voice that trembles with a pain that mirrors my own. Sandra's cries cut through the suffocating silence, her anguished sobs a haunting symphony of regret and despair. "No! No, I didn't want this! Xavier, I didn't want to kill you!" Sandra's voice is a broken wail, each word carrying the weight of a thousand shattered dreams. She falls to her knees beside Xavier's still form, her hands hovering over his body as if unable to touch him, to bridge the chasm between them. Her cries are a collision of emotions, a torrent of love and torment that fill the room. She speaks of a love that has festered

Somehow it feels like my brain is playing games with me but it seems this is reality. Confusion mingles with my fear as I try to make sense of her cryptic words. "Xavier? What does he have to do with any of this?" Sandra's eyes gleam with a mixture of pain and resentment as if she's revisiting a memory that still haunts her. "You have him now, don't you? The man who shattered my world." My heart skips a beat, pieces of a puzzle falling into place. "Wait, you and Xavier…?" Sandra's laughter is a bitter echo in the dimly lit room, devoid of any real mirth. "We used to be close, good friends. But one night, in the midst of drunken haze, he… he took my virginity. I thought it meant something, that maybe there was something more between us." My eyes widen, disbelief mingling with sympathy for the woman before me. The revelation

The stolen phone I've managed to secret away is my only connection to the outside world, my lifeline in this web of darkness that Sandra has woven around me. As the minutes stretch into an agonizing eternity, my fingers tremble as they punch in the numbers. The phone's screen casts a faint glow on my face, a glimmer of hope amidst the shadows that surround me. My heart hammers in my chest as the call connects. I try to be as low as possible not knowing where Sandra is or who she has left to watch over me. My voice wavers, a mix of desperation and fear as I try to convey the urgency of my situation without alerting Sandra to my actions. Every second feels like an eternity as I wait for him to answer, my desperation growing with each passing ring. "Hello?" His voice cuts through the darkness like a lifeline. "Xavier!"

And when you started dating Alexandra, it devastated her." ''But how did you not recognize her or were you protecting her all along?'' ''No, not at all. I would never do that to you.'' The revelation hits me like a punch to the gut. I have been completely unaware of Sandra's feelings, of the turmoil brewing beneath the surface I would never be with her but at least I would have been more alert not to be caught by surprise. Santino's eyes hold a mixture of regret and pain as if he was sharing a secret he had carried for far too long. ''Did you love her?'' I ask.

    I stood there amidst the flashing cameras and the eager chatter of reporters, my eyes fixed on Sandra as she confidently accepted the title of Chief Financial Officer of King Tech. A wave of disbelief surged through me, accompanied by a sharp pang of anger. This was not how things were supposed to go down. But I couldn't let my emotions show, not in front of the media. As the applause and questions filled the room, I forced myself to maintain a composed exterior. Inside, however, a tempest of thoughts raged. How had she managed to orchestrate this so perfectly? How had she manipulated the board, the media, and even my closest allies to ensure her rise to power? I had always known Sandra was ambitious, but I never fathomed the extent of her ruthlessness. It was a bitter realization that left a bitter taste in my mouth. The company that I had poured my heart and soul into was slipping through my fingers, and there she stood, the orchestrator of it all, basking in the spotlight what was

But now, their expressions are a mix of doubt and suspicion. I can sense the shift in the dynamics, the undercurrents of betrayal that have infiltrated even the closest of my allies especially when I had frozen the accounts. I called this emergency meeting to address the recent allegations and scandals that have rocked our company. The media storm, the accusations, and the subsequent investigation had caught us off guard. I had been working tirelessly to salvage our reputation, find the truth and clear our name.

    Leah's POV As I wake up in the morning, I find the space beside me in bed empty. Xavier must have already left for work, not wanting to disturb my much-needed rest. I appreciate his concern, but I wish he had woken me. I hate feeling like he's carrying all of this alone. I push myself out of bed, still feeling the exhaustion from the events of the previous day and the pregnancy was not helping not that I'm complaining. The scandal, the accusations, and the constant media attention have taken a toll on me. I make my way to the kitchen, craving a cup of warm tea to soothe my nerves.

She still has a lot of questions to answer anyway. "Hello?" Her voice on the other end sounds broken, sobbing softly. Sandra rarely cries, so something about this feels off.

    Xavier's POV Leah falls asleep on the way back home, her exhaustion evident after the emotional rollercoaster we had been through. As I watch her peaceful expression, my mind still racing with thoughts. Emily's revelation about Kendra being the mastermind behind the scandal has shaken me to my core. But there was something else that was bothering me, a lingering suspicion that I couldn't shake off. Especially the stunt pulled the time she came to my house and at the funeral. Sandra's sudden involvement and determination to help us had set off alarms in my mind. Her connection to Emily, her knowledge of the scandal, and the way she was pushing us to pursue this investigation all seemed too convenient.

I had to find out who was behind this, who wanted to tear us apart. But then this war began before I was even in the picture but I will not let anyone harm my child again even if it means killing again I will do it. I pick up my phone and dial Xavier's number. He answers after a couple of rings. "Leah, I'm on my way to you," he says, his voice carrying a mix of concern and urgency. "Xavier, we need to talk," I reply, my tone resolute. "I know, baby. We will talk as soon as I get there." "No, Xavier, this can't wait. I need to know who's behind that scandal. The timing is too suspicious." There is a moment of silence on the other end of the line. "Leah, I have my suspicions too. I'll be there soon, and we'll figure this out together." As I hung up, a knock on the door interrupts my thoughts. Sandra stands there with a determined expression.
