Dirty Secrets Chapter 68
Angela“You have one minute left.” He reminded me with a grave tone that sprouted goosebumps from my body. I didn’t realize how much this will affect him until he threatened to pull the trigger on me. Xavier scoffed. “Of course, you do not have any reasonable excuse or explanation to give.” He grabbed another bottle of whiskey from the shelf.“Hailey approached me for the first time in the restroom,” I explained. “I didn’t know who she was, at least not until I realized the door was locked from the other side possibly by her friend or partner. She asked questions about Rico but I played dumb.”My eyes stung from the tears accumulated in them. I had to close my eyes for a bit, allowing the tears in my eyes to roll down my cheeks. Images of those pictures Hailey showed me flashed through my eyes and I quickly snapped them open.“She showed me pictures,” I whispered, my eyes lost in my thought. “She showed me so many pictures.”“What pictures?” I gasped at how close his voice sounded.

XavierI am more upset over the fact that I allowed Hailey to make Angela feel obliged to entertain her or maybe I’m angry because slowly, I’m dragging Angela deeper into my world, slowly tinting her innocence. The best option would have been to let her go not watch her walk down the aisle to meet me, but then I’m a selfish man; I do not make decisions that rational people make.Misplacement of anger. I am angry no doubt, maybe a little bit at Angela for keeping this from me, but she’s not the sole reason for my anger, but I made her believe otherwise.Carefully avoiding the broken pieces of glass scattered all over the marble, I rounded my desk and collapsed on my seat, feeling drained from the alcohol, anger, and pain.Deciding to do a little work to take my mind off the event of the day, I turned on my laptop and clicked on my email. Thousands of unanswered mail flooded my inbox but only a few caught my attention and one of them was from Joshua Miller, my lawyer.Clicking on his ma

XavierI broke every traffic rule just to get to Angela. A ride that was supposed to take forty minutes, but I covered it within twenty minutes.Stopping the car in a dark street, I opened the door and got out. Oliver, Sly, and Sebastian got down from their car too.“What happened to the street light?” I asked no one in particular. This isn’t where any young lady should be found not to talk about my lady. I brought out my phone and turned on its flashlight. “Where the fuck is her car?!” I hissed, feeling frustrated.A car screeched from afar, sending everybody on alert. We all pulled our guns out, cocked and aimed, ready to fire.“Bossman!” Lucas called out from the dark. He flashed his torch light. “What the fuck is going on boss? Oliver called me.”Sighing, we withdrew our guns. “Angela is missing.” I looked around angrily. “Why the fuck are these streetlights not working?” Pinching my brows, I walked to the other side of the street. A flashlight from afar caught my attention.“Boss

XavierI only left my daughter’s room a few minutes ago, after I was certain that her fever has calmed. Dr. Cowell also left a few minutes ago due to an emergency at his hospital, but he left instructions on what to do in case of the fever returns although, in his words, it is unlikely to return.Lucas is currently in my office, making the calls I instructed him to make before the incident with Kenz whilst I took a quick shower.Standing in front of the bathroom mirror with my toothbrush hanging loosely in my mouth, I wondered what she might be going through right now. Thousands of unanswered questions flooded my head, questions like- has she eaten anything yet? Is she even conscious? Are they tending to her wound or are they careless about it, leaving it prone to infection? Did they allow her to clean up? Or did they leave her in the mess of her blood?Questions that I wished I have answers to are what makes breathing difficult. Sighing, I placed both hands on the sink and bowed my h

AngelaThe whooshing sound in my ear increased each minute which made it difficult to continue sleeping. I really need to see my doctor ASAP. W.H.O enlightened us on the fact that a whooshing sound can be dangerous if frequently experienced.I do not experience this frequently, but the banging headache which accompanied the whooshing sound made me conclude that I need to see my doctor. Maybe I’ll have Xavier drive me.The whispering voices in the background made my brows snap together. None of the staff dare enter our room without our permission, and Xavier isn’t in the habit of whispering around me.Cracking my eyes open, I winced at the pain that shot up to my brain. Out of reflex, I tried massaging my temple but was held back by the sharp pain in my hand stopping me.I tried again, this time opening them slowly. The first thing I captured was the unfamiliar white curtains. My brain processed the information as my eyes took in the unfamiliarity of my environment. Panic set in as rea

XavierTwo days and were yet to make any improvement in finding Angela. I’ve spoken with Adam, and he claims that Martinez isn’t planning anything, at least not to his knowledge. I also questioned him about Mateo and he told me that Mateo has been lying low after his arrest.It’s a thing of total disappointment that the man I sent to spy on Martinez and his son knows nothing about Mateo’s plan to overthrow his father. Just how useless can he be? Just how clueless can he get? I almost told him about the plan so he can look into it, but after much contemplation, keeping that information to myself seemed to be the best thing to do. I can’t be so certain that he still works for me, that he is not intentionally withholding information about Mateo from me.Things are beginning to get messy, and if I don’t get a handle on it, it might get out of hand. Angela was summoned to the station for questioning yesterday, but I gave them an excuse, saying that she was too sick to leave the house. I ca

AngelaOne week with Aaron. The young man confused my calmness as cooperation. Unknown to him, I have everything planned out in my head. My plan is quite simple. Get him to trust me while I heal. I figured that trying to escape with this stabbing pain in my chest and frequent dizziness isn’t going to get me anywhere. I’ll only end up getting caught which will definitely not end in my favor. Ever since I woke up in this place, I’m yet to see Aaron’s brother, the actual person who got me locked up in here. I desperately want to see him, at least I need to know if this was done by someone I know. Identifying the face might help me figure out what’s going on.Buttoning up my shirt, I smiled at myself when I didn’t feel any pain in my chest or any form of dizziness as I bent down to touch my toe. Touching my toe is an every morning routine that I do in other to check if I’m healed enough to think of my escape.Satisfied, I walked out of the room in search of Aaron. We’re the only ones i
Dirty Secrets Chapter 75
Xavier Dressed in a black tux, I clipped a brooch to my left breast, topping off the Versace look. I sent my daughter over to Daniel’s for the night with twenty security details. Daniel, the bastard who doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut kept questioning me about Angela.At one point, he accused me of murder. He went as far as threatening to report me to the cops if Angela didn’t show up by the weekend; a threat I rather find feeble.Whilst giving out his threats, I also dished out mine. I warned him not to do anything that will compromise my daughter’s safety. My men are there to protect her, but at the same, he shouldn’t do anything that will make their work difficult.I promised to watch him drown if anything, any slightest thing; as small as a scratch dents her skin.It was quite painful to watch my daughter happily leave with him a few hours ago. It was as if she preferred the company of that man over mine. I’m not surprised though, just like that man, she blames me for he
