Dirty Secrets Chapter 21
XavierAngela insisted on sharing a room with McKenzie, and I believe the reason for such a decision is to keep me out. I find her decision rather annoying and the same time amusing. Staying in a different room from McKenzie is not going to make me force myself on her nor is staying in the same room with McKenzie going to stop me from making a move.She’s attracted to me, and the only reason I’ve not seduced her to my bed is that I want her to be the one coming to me. I will not be blamed for anything nor do I want her to refer to our time together as a mistake.Flipping the pancakes, I hurried to get breakfast fixed before my girls make an appearance. When Angela introduced me to McKenzie as someone special and close to the family, I felt my heart melt. I’d give anything to hear her call me dad but Angela pleaded with me to take things slow with her.Baby steps she said. She wants McKenzie to grow on me without being forced into it. I get her point though, but that doesn’t stop me fr
Dirty Secrets Chapter 22
XavierThe whole penthouse was calm when I emerged from the library. Neither Angela nor McKenzie was seen anywhere around. I made a pit stop at the kitchen, but they weren’t there either. The plates used for breakfast have already been washed, and the dining table cleared. Plodding up the stairs, I walked straight to the room and knocked on the door. I heard shuffles at the other end before the door opened and Angela peered out through the slightly ajar door. “Hey.” She smiled tightly at me. “Is everything okay?”Someone knocked at the door earlier. It’s either her or my men. “Did you knock on the door to the library earlier? I heard someone knock.”“Oh… yes…hmm..” she cleared her throat, her eyes dancing around as if scared to meet mine. “McKenzie was asking about the ice cream promise you made, so I came to ask you if you’re still up to it but I guess you were busy.”The fact that she’s avoiding looking at me frustrated me. “You can look at me Angela, I don’t bite.” Her eyes never
Dirty Secrets Chapter 23
Angela Ever since the kiss in the gym house, Xavier has been all touchy. He tries to touch me at any given opportunity. On the dining table, he places his hand periodically, his fingers deliberately brushing mine, In the kitchen, while preparing breakfast or dinner, he walks in sneakily to give me a back hug, whenever I’m putting McKenzie to sleep, he’s always beside me, his hand either across my shoulder or hanging on my waist.Despite having tried to push him away anytime he makes little body contact, I can’t deny that I love his warmth, that his attention is welcoming, and that I wish things weren’t so complicated with us. Mrs. Jackson called me a few minutes ago to inform me that I’ve been promoted. She also tells me that I should remain at home and sketch up more designs for Mr. Ellmord. I was shocked at first but I told her that I won’t be able to sketch much due to the wound on my arm.Although it’s almost healed, I cannot concentrate enough to sketch some designs due to the t
Dirty Secrets Chapter 24
XavierReturning to New York to be investigated on a murder case that I know nothing about didn’t sit well with me at all, which is why I’m so proud of Lucas right now for how he handled things. Celine works for us, so whoever killed her will have to face us not the police. We take laws into our hands and personally, I believe in the ideology of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.“He wasn’t forced into it right?” Forcing someone who isn’t my enemy to go down for a crime he didn’t commit isn’t my forte, which is why I need to know. I watched Olivier from a distance. “No boss man. He wasn’t forced to do shit. As a matter of fact, the young man was happy to go to jail. He didn’t mind making that sacrifice for his family.” Half a million dollars is enough money to change a man’s life. “He wasn’t hesitant in any way boss man.”“Good.” He’s looking at a possible life sentence, I don’t need a whining man who will begin to spill shit later. “Remember to keep an eye on him in prison thro

AngelaXavier sure knows how to make a lady fall for him. The regular pick up after work, the constant lunch delivery, the daily flower, and chocolate delivery, and also how he has taken fatherhood seriously.I commend his efforts towards McKenzie, which is why I’ve decided to let her know that he’s her father. A perfect dinner with the three of us tonight, hosted by me will be the perfect place to inform McKenzie who Xavier is to her.Today is Saturday, my work-free day. Relaxing on the sofa, I occasionally kept an eye on McKenzie who is busy with the set of art books that Xavier delivered yesterday. My phone pinged, taking my attention away from the blue eyes girl.Clicking on the message icon, my lips stretched into a smile as I read the message him, Xavier.:- What are you doing aside from thinking about me? I have something delivered outside your door. Wear it tonight. Ever since I bought the dress three years ago, I’ve been visualizing you in that cloth.Smiling like an idiot, I
Dirty Secrets Chapter 26
XavierAiming to please, I reserved the whole restaurant for my girls. Oliver was instructed to pick them up in the rented limousine with other trails of security details. Dressed in a tux which isn’t something new; I sample designer suits every single day; I anticipated seeing Angela in the red dress. I remember vividly the day I bought that red dress, I almost had a panic attack when the lawyer informed us that she was gone.Shaking off old memories from my head, I looked forward to creating new ones with her. The tinted human-sensitive glass door opened and I stood on my feet to welcome them.Angela…took my breath away. The red dress hugged her figure so perfectly that it looks like she was putting on a second skin, the slit on the side of the dress showed off her fair and silky thigh. Her boobs are bigger than the last time, probably the changes that come with childbirth. Her hair, styled up made her shoulder bones and her neck more visible and enticing, her lips, the perfect sh
Dirty Secrets Chapter 27
Angela We never understand the kind of pain one carries until we know them. I nearly went crazy when I lost papa, which makes me wonder how Xavier felt when he lost both his parents. Maybe that is what shaped him into the man that he is today.Curious about the news of his parent's death, I turned on my laptop, opened the chrome browser, and typed in ‘Mr. and Mrs. Ellmord.’ A picture of them with little Xavier popped up. I found myself smiling at how cute he looked. Scrolling down further, I read the article on their death.Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Ellmord were reported dead in the early hours of today 15th September 2017. It was reported that they died in a car crash that sent their car ablaze, burning the couple beyond recognition. It was stated by his son Xavier Ellmord that they were on their to London to celebrate their wedding anniversary.The death of the couple has left a mixed reaction from the people. Either way, we pray that they find peace wherever they are.The part where it
Dirty Secrets Chapter 28
Xavier Watching Angela feel bad the whole day just because Daniel decided to be a coward makes me want to reconsider my decision to keep him alive. He chose to leave because of me. I don’t need to be told by anyone that he’s uncomfortable with my relationship with Angela and I’m sure he has tried to talk her out of it numerous times but failed.Myriad times, I've wanted to beat him shitless for making Angela cry, but the fact that he was there for her when I wasn’t, that he helped her through childbirth made me hold in my anger towards him. Do I feel sad that Angela isn’t sharing a flat with a young man who has feelings for her? Hell no! Good radiance to him.Balancing dinner, on one hand, I pressed the doorbell with the other free one and waited patiently for Angela to get to the door. Imagine my level of surprise when Kenz answered the door.Smiling down at her, I kissed her cheeks before stepping into the house. I dropped the box of pizza on the table and Angela chose that same m

Dirty Secrets Epilogue
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
Dirty Secrets Chapter 111
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 Chapter 109
****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
