This last month has been super stressful and crazy for me.
For all those who chatted me up on my social media page to find out what's wrong, I truly appreciate your concern.
I'm back to daily update.
I assure you that something like this won't happen again until we are done with the journey of Xavier and Angela.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
I'm super excited to return to this journey and I'm glad to have you all with me.Expect more drama and twist.
I love you all... X

XavierTampering with her locks and making myself feel at home wasn’t the best option, but then I’m not welcomed here, not that I wanted to be. The mixed-match sofa and the leaking roof speak a whole lot about her living condition. She gave everything up without a fight and settled for a life that I’ll never find myself in. Lucas, who is equally uncomfortable being in here, opted to sit on the wooden dining seat. That looks like the only seat which is free from bugs.If the reports I’ve gotten from my men are accurate, she should be home by now. Trying not to be impatient, I made myself comfortable on the kitchen island.Lucas snickered. “You gotta be careful up there boss. We do not want broken woods tearing into your asscheeks.” I’m in no mood for jokes, so I let this joke slide without showing any sign of humor. Lucas got the point. “She’s home.”At his words, the front lock clicked, followed by the sound of the door opening. Silent footsteps filled the room, then a sudden light

Angela I’m trying not to let Natasha’s words get to me but then, we are only humans. No matter how hard we try, our minds will always take us back to previous events of the past, and mine is leading me to my conversation with Natasha.Blinking rapidly, I tried to focus on the paperwork before me but then that too was futile. The door opened, the sound distracting me for a bit. Xavier strolled in like he owns the building.His love for black color makes me want to jump on him and kiss him senselessly. His black suit, black shirt, and black jacket make him look cool with his jet-black hair.Xavier will look cool in anything.“With the way you conversed with me over the phone, I expected you to jump on me the moment I walked through that door.” His arrogance isn’t new to me. Xavier placed a plastic bag on the desk, rounded it, and grabbed my jaw. “I missed you.”Before I could respond, he leaned down and placed a kiss on my lips. At first, I remained still, contemplating if I should res
Dirty Secrets Chapter 47
Xavier On many occasions, I’m tempted to just kill Natasha and her mother and put an end to this hassle but then when I remember that they almost took my woman away, that they killed an old friend because of his money, I realize that a quick death is nothing but a gift to them.Whatever game Natasha is playing with this baby is just going to end badly for her. I’m going to rip that baby out of her before she gets to ruin my relationship with Angela.“If the baby isn’t yours, that means Natasha is planning something, and you have to be careful.” I can see the worry all over her face which isn’t necessary at all.Something needs to pose a threat to you before you apply the concept of being careful. Natasha is nothing but a statue in this game; I’ll move her when I want to, and aside from that, she’s is just still to me.Before I could reassure Angela not to be scared of Natasha, my phone pinged. Picking it up, I saw a text from Adam.Martinez's next shipment is coming in next week Thur

AngelaNatasha and some of the board members including myself felt springtime should be the best time to host our fashion week, and for that reason, we are expected to bring in new designs for the fashion show.Exhausted from the meeting which lasted more than two hours, I dragged my feet to my office. Sly followed behind, trying to make himself as invisible as he can. “What do you know about falling Sly?” I won’t mind him going through my work before final submission.“Absolutely nothing.” He responded coolly which made me chuckle. He dresses smart all the time, but there is more to fashion than a perfect cloth combination. “Boss man wants you at the club immediately after your meeting.”The small smile on my lips vanished. “At the club?” Did he faint from excessive bleeding? I don’t think so. The wound wasn’t even deep enough. “Is everything okay?”“Yes ma’am.”“Why then is Xavier demanding that I come to the club?” He knows I’m working, and for him to insist that I come over

Angela Lucas huffed at my indirect accusation. “I’m not going to hurt you Angela, so get into the goddamn room. bossman is in there.” It will take more than mere words to reassure me. When it was obvious that I wasn’t moving an inch, he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the room. The sight I saw made me regret coming to this club in the first place. In the middle of the room is an unfamiliar man, chained with both hands up, his face battered beyond recognition. Xavier on the other hand stood next to him with a gun in his hand. I looked at Lucas who simply avoided meeting my gaze. Sly did not even make it into the room. I swallowed nervously. “Xavier? What is going on?” Xavier who looks nonchalant about the whole thing dragged his feet towards me, the gun hanging loosely in his hand. “This young man is an imposter. He is here under the pretense of who he is not, with the intention of bringing me down, or possibly sending me to my untimely death.” That doesn’t explain why he is be

XavierWatching the busy streets while I mulled over what happened three hours ago did nothing to improve my sour mood. The cool breeze from the rooftop and the marijuana cigar did nothing to soothe me in any way.Lucas observed from the sideline in silence. The whisky bottle that I am literally sharing with him hung loosely in his hand. He so much wants to remind me how he warned me not to go ahead with that plan but then he is wiser than that.Any wrong move from him can make me transfer my anger to him which definitely will not end in his favor.Sighing loudly, Lucas joined me to watch the view of the city. “How about we hit the ring? I’ll be your opponent.” No other man round me can match my energy when I’m boxing with fury; I am capable of hitting a man to death with my fist, but Lucas is an exception; he always matches my energy.“Inform Wyatt to cancel all my meeting for the day.” I can as well visit the port when I’m done boxing with Lucas. “Any news on Steven?” Steven is a fr

Angela It’s Saturday, and normally, I would have made a quick stop at the office after dropping Mckenzie at her music class but today, I don’t think I want to be anywhere close to working. Xavier to my surprise hasn’t shown up ever since I left the manor. Not that I want him to come after me, but then letting me go like that isn’t like him. His constant phone calls these last few days have slowly returned to none.McKenzie keeps asking me about her father, she keeps asking me when we’ll be seeing him, and like every damn time, I’ve been giving her the same excuse; so right now, my daughter isn’t even talking to me.For the tenth time, I checked my wristwatch and sighed. “Mckenzie! You are going to be late for class.” She told me that she wants to grab her pink pencil. How long is that going to take her? “Mcken_”The door opened and she stepped out, a permanent frown on her face. “Stop screaming my name mum, you’ll wake our neighbor’s dog.”It was on the tip of my tongue to remind he
Dirty Secrets Chapter 52
XavierI informed Sly that I was coming over which was why he didn’t look alarmed when the front door opened. This is my penthouse, which means that I have the master card for every room in here including the front door.Kenz who was engrossed in the cartoon playing out on the screen didn’t notice me walk into the living room. I had to call her to gain her attention. “Hey, baby.”Surprised to hear my voice, she swiped her head quickly to the right and leaped out off the sofa with excitement when she saw me. “Mummy!”“Yes, baby!” Angela responded from the kitchen space.“Daddy is here!” She leaped into my waiting arms and wrapped her tiny hands around my neck. “I’ve missed you, daddy.”“I’ve missed you too princess.” I kissed her neck and then her cheek before carrying her back to the sofa. “I got some kinds of stuff for you.” Carefully placing her on the sofa, I handed her a plastic bag that contained toys and chocolates.She smiled widely at the sight of the chocolate. “Thanks, daddy

Epilogue AngelaTwo months laterLife doesn’t go as expected. I’m pretty sure Natasha, Veronica, and Vera didn’t see this coming when they were scheming against me and my father.It’s been two months now since the news of Natasha’s accident hit the internet. They presumed it to be suicide just like Susan DaVinci, but I know better. It is my husband’s doing and I do not need anyone to confirm it for me.Poor Mr. DaVinci. The old man died of cardiac arrest after his daughter was found dead in a clubhouse. Arlo, Natasha’s son is with the Wilsons. They send us pictures of him, and against Xavier’s liking, I visit him once in a while; he’s my nephew after all.All the shares Xavier forced Natasha to hand over to me made me the highest shareholder, but I gave the shares which were originally meant for Natasha to her son Arlo. This conflict has to end with us, it does not have to be extended to our children and children’s children.Having a near experience with death makes you take a lot o
Dirty Secrets Chapter 114
XavierImagine being forced to wear a Versace gown with a perfect makeup few minutes after your son was taken away from you; that’s exactly Natasha’s fate and with the way her lips tightened, I could tell she in no way like her fate. My men pulled her to the big hall, each man standing by her side. She literally had to race after them because they walked too fast, which also made her walk too fast, a painful attempt if you ask me because her nine inches heel made it pure torture.Stopping at the big door, Harden knocked and the door opened. We all stepped into the big hall where Mateo is being held.It’s okay to say that the young man has been battered beyond repair. I do doubt if any plastic surgeon can fix that face because the scars and current bruises are going to give them tough work.“Long time no see Mateo.” When was the last time I was here? I can’t even remember. Approaching the battered man, I squatted to his level. “I’ve not been a good host and I apologize for that.” Slap
Dirty Secrets Chapter 113
XavierThe first person I visited was Natasha in a cozy cabin that have enough heat for the sake of the baby. The moment I walked into the room, I heard the cry of the baby. Lucas met me at the doorway. “Don’t you think we should hire a nanny? At least until you have to send him to Martinez?”“That won’t be necessary.” The lesser people know about this, the better it is for everybody. “If things should go well, the baby should be out of our hands soonest.” The loud cry was reduced to whimpers. “What’s up with the baby?”“I think Natasha is breastfeeding him.” Well then, I have to give the baby a little more time to finish his breakfast. “Mr. DaVinci is still in our custody, what should we do with him?”“Let him go.” He doesn’t know who kidnapped him or his daughter. All DaVinci knows is that someone sent him a picture of his daughter held in chains, he flew down to New York and was snatched right at the airport, next, he was in a room with a blindfold while Oliver recorded the whole t

XavierLucas got to the hospital before me, he called me on my way to inform me that he was already at the hospital and he inquired to know if they should wait for me before administering the antidote but I told them to carry on because the more that poison is in her, the more problem it causes for her.According to Susan, her recovery will be a gradual process. She claimed that if the antidote was administered before the poison became effective, then it would have worked asap, but for the fact that the poison has already started doing its job, it will take two to three days before she finally regains consciousness which made me question her initial plan.I vividly recall Susan telling me that if she takes the antidote tonight, she’ll be able to go home tonight and that can only mean that she lied to me.Parking the car, I raced into the hospital. Every other person became invisible to me as I ambled to her room. Right by her side, Jackie, Lucas, Seth, and Dr. Grey observed her. I gu

XavierI’ve been with Angela for six hours, holding her hand and staring at her pale face whilst wishing that I could swap places with her right now. She doesn’t have to go through this, especially because of me. I brought Susan into her life and I’m the one who Susan is obsessed with.Sighing, I massaged her fingers, careful not to disconnect the machine helping to keep her alive. Her fashion show was a disaster. Nobody or no news line talks about it without talking about the incident that happened.“I’m going to get you out of here,” I promised her. “This is not going to be how you end. I’m going to send that bitch to the afterlife and get you out of here.” Leaning down, I kissed her palm.My phone buzzed and I picked it up. A text message from Lucas to let me know that he has arrived and they are on their way to intercept his car. Pocketing the phone, I stood up, stared at my wife then reached down and kissed her lips softly. “I know you wouldn’t want me doing that, but I have to d
Dirty Secrets Chapter 110
XavierMary was the first to enter the club, but I wasn’t daft to let her go in alone, not because I’m bothered about her safety, but because I do not trust her not to ruin this for us. For all I know, she might be playing a fast one on us or trying to alert Susan of my presence. I had to send Tom to keep an eye on her.Stomping into the clubhouse, I requested a room and they handed me keys to room number twenty. Guessing we aren’t far apart, I climbed the stairs to her room.The thin walls made it possible to hear people moaning inside the occupied rooms. Never in my life did I think I’ll grace this shit hole with my presence. It’s an error to hear different voices of people moaning at the same time.Mary met us in the hallway. “Bathi went to grab some tampons for Susan, you need to grab her and leave before he returns.”“Tampons?”She shrugged. “I had to come up with an excuse to send him away.”I’m not afraid of Bathi or whatever his name is, he can kiss my ass for all I care. Igno

****Dirty Secrets is gradually coming to an end. We have two more chapters to go ****XavierMary or whatever her name is is a variable I did not see coming. She walked in at the right time and saved me some time. Staring at her, I tried to figure out if this is just a charade. When a man is desperate just like myself, there is always a tendency for mistake; a mistake from a desperate man.The whiskey glass weighed on my hand as I tapped the edge of the glass. I stared at the woman’s eyes, not because I found her green eyes alluring but because I want to push her to the edge, I want to unnerve her, to make her give out any emotion that will prove she was up to something.“Lucas,” I called out without taking my eyes away from the young lady.He appeared in my line of vision instantly. “Yes, boss.”“Go get the men ready.” She shifted from foot to foot. “I want Susan to be brought in alive and we will do anything to make it happen, even if it means bringing that clubhouse down.”Lucas b
Dirty Secrets Chapter 108
XavierLucas couldn’t believe the absurdity of the whole situation. Still shocked and dumbfounded, he kept passing glances at me. “I do not get this. Are you trying to tell me that she did all of this because she wants to fuck you?” He grimaced at his words. “This is just ridiculous. Does she realize that this is almost costing someone’s life?”My brain racked for a solution. “This isn’t her first time killing someone to get what she wants.” It's a pity that this will be her last. I’m sure she was very shocked by my response to her request.“I want you on my bed tonight Xavier.” She chortled at an untold joke. “Give me a lot of orgasms and in return, I’ll give you the antidote.”Unable to believe my ears, I clicked my teeth. “You’re telling me that you did this just because you want a taste of my dick.”Lucas stopped his sentence mid-way. I heard him bid goodbye to whoever he was conversing with before closing in on me to listen to my ridiculous conversation with Susan.“If you were i
Dirty Secrets Chapter 107
XavierThat moment was surreal. One moment everybody was happily cheering my wife and the next minute, everyone rounded her with panicking faces. I rushed out of my seat and raced towards the runway where my men already formed a formidable wall around her, keeping the crowd and paparazzi away from her. They created room for me the moment I raced toward the circle.Falling on my knee, I cradled my wife’s head and patted her cheek lightly, a futile attempt to wake her up. With the show long forgotten, I got rid of my suit jacket and hers too. The next thing that came to mind was to check her pulse.With trembling fingers, I picked up her suddenly cold hands, too cold to be considered normal. Thankfully, I felt her pulse. “Angela?” I resumed tapping her cheek. “Come on baby, wake up…” Settling my ass on the floor, I balanced her well on my thighs. “Come on baby…open your eyes.” She remained unresponsive. “Open your eyes goddammit!”“The ambulance is almost here.” Lucas formed me.My pou
