Dirty Secrets Chapter 33
Angela Daniel has been coming over more frequently. Although he refused to move back in, that doesn’t prevent him from checking up on me every day. I didn’t tell him the reason for my fight with Xavier, but I just told him that I ended things with him. Despite being surprised by the news, Daniel tried to be there for me without being judgmental in any way or form.I took one week of sick leave from the office. My brain isn’t stable enough to handle any important responsibilities right now, so I believe it’s wise if I keep my ass off the company’s building.Feeling a scrutinizing gaze on me, I lifted my eyes from the ice cream up and stared at Daniel’s curious eyes. “Do I have something on my face?” He’s making me uncomfortable with his unblinking gaze. “Daniel? Why are you staring at me like that?”“Aren’t you going to tell me?” I cocked my head to the right. “You and Xavier.” My eyes revisited the ice cream cup. “I know I said I wasn’t going to pry, but I can’t help but be curious.
Dirty Secrets Chapter 34
Angela This is a twist in the drama that I most definitely did not see coming. Staring at Xavier and the young man he introduced as Mr. Miller, I wondered if this is another trick or perhaps a ploy to deceive me further. Who knows, maybe they want me dead this time.“How are you so sure that my father was murdered by his wife Vera?” They never loved me, and I understand their reasons for hating me. They felt threatened but why kill Derek? He didn’t do anything wrong to them.”“Derek spoke to me about finding you and bringing you home,” Xavier explained. “He spoke about it to me and Vera, then he spoke about adjusting his will.” I didn’t realize Xavier was that close to my father. “I bet that she feared he wanted to change the will because he was bringing you home, so she poisoned him before he was able to either bring you home or change his will.”Why is my family filled with so many conspiracies? Why couldn’t it be a normal family like every other home? “What you just said is your m
Dirty Secrets Chapter 35
XavierThe press and the media aren’t people you should mess with. Once on your case, they have the power to pull you up or bring you down. Either way, they can either favor you, or destroy you. In my many years of business, I’ve avoided them like a plague. I pay the necessary people so they don’t publish shit about me but I can’t say the same for my father.He paid the people he considered important, then left the petty hungry bloggers to write reports and shit about him.My case is different though. I pay the major newspaper and magazine house then instill fears in the life of the petty ones. Those who decide to go astray by going ahead to say shit about my means of livelihood or sending the press and cops my way, I make an example out of them. It’s that simple.But today, today is very different from my usual self. One of the ways to shake Natasha’s table is by hounding her ass with the press. Already, the press has been after her ass, asking questions about her recent marriage to
Dirty Secrets Chapter 36
AngelaI spent two weeks, reading through those files that Xavier gave to me. Things have changed in the past four years, starting from the staff down to the management and shareholders, but grasping them all wasn’t difficult. All it needed was concentration and dedication. I was once part of the management body in that company, so I understand the company more than most people, most people like Natasha.Today, I make my first appearance in the public ever since my return to New York. Today is also my first day at S.H Fashions. I can’t wait to see Natasha’s reaction when I walk into that company with every right to be there.Opting for my old look, I curled my hair, the curls not too wild. The white dress and white shoes made me feel like I’m ready to conquer everything. Picking up my nude handbag, I walked out of the room. I was quite surprised when Xavier granted my request to have separate rooms.First, I made a stop at Mckenzie’s room to kiss her good morning, but I found her room
Dirty Secrets Chapter 37
AngelaXavier dropped me off at the office with five of his men, two of which remained in the car and the other three followed me into the building.Stepping into the building, some old staff who are still working with us greeted me, while the new ones wondered what I’m doing here. Ignoring them, I walked into the elevator that took me straight to the last floor. Adam, Sly, and Henry stood behind me with poker faces. “Did you order the pieces of furniture?” I’m sure Natasha already disposed of all my office furniture which is why I need new ones.“Yes ma’am,” Sly responded. “They are on their way. Should be here in about thirty minutes.”Muttering a thank you, I tightened my hold on the strap of my purse as the elevator pinged. The door opened and I stood face to face with a shocked Natasha who seem to be waiting for the lift too. Smiling widely, I stepped out of the elevator. “Good morning big sis.”Confused, Natasha blinked at me. “What are you doing here?” She stared at the three
Dirty Secrets Chapter 38
XavierLucas walked into my office with Oliver and another young lad. He looks so uncomfortable being in the same room with us, but then everybody who knows about us doesn’t want to work with us.Staring at the boy, I wondered how such a little kid can do such. “What’s your name lad?” I already know his name, where he lives, who his parents are, and what college he is attending. I ask them these personal questions just to unnerve them and make them feel that sharing their personal information is an agreement that I should come after them if they mess up.“Kyle.” He muttered. I could barely hear him.“Use your voice lad,” I ordered in a calm tone. I need his head leveled before he gets into work. Scaring him before he starts working isn’t necessary. When it’s necessary is after he’s done working.“My name is Kyle.” He said a little louder, although his voice sounded squeaky, no doubt from the fear of standing before me. “But my friends call me K.”Getting bold now, are we? “I do not ca
Dirty Secrets Chapter 39
NatashaI need to see Xavier! I need to have a long chat with him. He needs to explain why he’s suddenly coming after me. I understand the fact that he’s infatuated with Angela but then that doesn’t excuse him from coming after me. I gave him my fucking hotels! Five damn hotels! If he’s going to come after me, then he has to return them! He can’t be paid for a job and still turn around to be my enemy. A nice peaceful chat is what I’m aiming for, but if he doesn’t retreat, then I’ll have to involve Martinez. I did not dedicate my whole life to an old man for nothing.Snatching my purse off the table, I headed straight for Xavier’s club. While we were still married, Xavier spent most of his time there. Some say it’s his most cherished business which is why he spends most of his time and dedication there.Freddie and Alfie fell into line the moment I stepped out of my office. I strolled past Angela’s office but stopped right outside it. I wondered if she was in there. If I had known she
Dirty Secrets Chapter 40
AngelaWe were halfway through the meeting when Natasha rushed into the conference room. She looked around like a manic, her accusing eyes zeroing in on every board member in the room. “Does anybody want to explain why there is a meeting, going on in my company without my knowledge?”Everybody began to murmur and being the lovely business partner and representative of the board, I stood to my feet and approached Natasha. “Didn’t your secretary call you?”“I was an hour's drive away from the company.” She hissed through clenched teeth. “Couldn’t you all have that patience until I arrive before you start selling me off?”Selling her off? Does she think that’s what this meeting is about? “Nobody is selling you off sister. As a matter of fact,” I gestured towards the board members. “I was actually singing praises to your name. I told them how you’ll be a wonderful CEO.” Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. “You don’t believe me? Fine. I’ll let your secretary brief you on the meeting before we

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
Dirty Secrets Chapter 112
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 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
