Angela

We 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

    Xavier I can feel it. Things are about to get better between Angela and me. Offering to take her on a date wasn’t on my schedule tonight. As a matter of fact, I had no plans of returning home tonight, but then the moment felt right, and I blurted the dinner date out. Lucas strutted into the private booth where I’d been for the past hour. I have a meeting with one of our distributors in the next hour, so I can as well wait it out. “Bossman!” He splayed out on the black sofa. “I just received a call from Adam. He has arrived in London.”“Good to know. Inform him to start working on finding a spy for me asap.” I need Martinez's attention divided and I want that excuse of a son he has to spend some time in jail.“I’ll do that right away bossman.” He typed away on his phone for a few seconds before returning his attention to me. “I’m curious about something bossman.”I regarded him wearily. “Aren’t you ever curious?” He chuckled. “What is it this time?”“Natasha. Is the baby not really M

    AngelaXavier skimmed through the menu, trying to select what to eat, and instead of doing the same, I just stared at him as if he’ll disappear if I take my eyes away from him.“Like what you see?” Xavier asked huskily, the menu and the waitress long gone. I didn’t even order anything. “I know that I’m devilishly handsome, but I didn’t think it was enough to hypnotize you like that.”This man’s ego is bigger than I can imagine. Snorting in an unladylike manner, I pushed back to my seat. “Don’t flatter yourself, Xavier. Yes, you’re a good sight for the eyes, but hypnotizing? That’s just your man ego speaking.”He laughed throatily at my words. “You’re the only one who can insult my man's honor and I’ll still find it irreversible sexy.” Xavier crossed his hands. “You’re lucky that I love you.”Shaking my head, I picked up the menu again. “I wasn’t able to pick what I wanted,” I informed Xavier. Maybe he’ll call the waiter back and have him take my order. When Xavier didn’t say a word, I

    Xavier The hotel suite per my order has just one room. Just as I expected, it was the first thing Angela checked when we walked into the room. Her eyes narrowed as it dawned on her that there is only one room available. “You planned this didn’t you?”Shrugging off my jacket, I laid it carefully on the sofa. “I made my intentions very clear at the restaurant. I want to spend the night with you in my arms. I won’t be able to do that if we sleep in separate rooms.” Sue me, but I am a man that wants what I want. “Sly should be here soon with some of our toiletries. What do you want to do till then?”Although she’s trying to appear mean and unhappy with the arrangement, I can see the smile dancing on her lips. “I don’t know big guy. You planned the evening, you can as well tell me what you have in mind for us.”Starfishing the bed, she stared at the white ceiling. “Do you own this hotel too?”I do not own everything here in New York City. “No, but a friend of mine does.” Making myself comf

    NatashaYou can’t break a broom when it’s in a bunch, it’s much easier to break when it’s just a broomstick. Xavier and Angela. It will be very difficult to fight them when they’re together, which is why I have to separate them before attacking.There is a saying that goes ‘use what you have to get what you want and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.Retouching my lipstick, I picked up the landline and gave Perry a quick call. “Has Ms. Angela shown up for work today?”“I’m not sure ma’am, but I’ll give a quick call to her secretary’s desk to confirm.” I slammed the phone down, disconnecting the call. She called back a few minutes later. “Yes ma’am, she just showed up.” Grinning widely, I disconnected the call.The plan is to make sure that Angela sees Xavier walk into my office. I’m pretty sure that Xavier will never tell her about the baby; not when he already told her that he never touched me throughout our marriage.Wanting to make my bump more obvious, I discarded the jacket.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    ****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

    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

    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
