Dirty Secrets Chapter 55
XavierJust as I promised Angela, I made the news disappear after two days. All I had to do was pay the right people and crash the already existing sites carrying the news.Angela and Daniel already began their friendship as per se. She drops by the hospital every day after work, making sure to be captured by the press.“Should I come in with you?” Lucas asked as he stared at Veronica’s house from the window. “she is home alone. Her husband traveled.”“watch the perimeter while I’m in there.” I don’t need nosey neighbors interrupting my discussion with her.“Okay boss.” He turned up the volume of the radio as I got out of the car.I opened the door and got down. Deciding to take the gentleman’s approach, I knocked on the front door twice. I heard splattering footsteps before the door opened.Dressed in a bathrobe, her hair slightly wet, Veronica opened the door but almost banged it to my face when she saw who was standing outside her porch. Her widened eyes shows that I am the last pe
Dirty Secrets Chapter 56
Sorry about the short and unedited chapter.I’m literally in school struggling for a space to my write my exams.I hope ya all understand me Thanks.NatashaMartinez is drained with his futile efforts to get his son out from police custody. Drugs is a big deal over there and he’ll be facing a really long time in jail if this case gets to court. I’m surprised that he is yet to say anything about my pregnancy news. I’ve been expecting a call from him, or possibly questions about the father of the baby since he never touched me before and after wedding.A trip to London is on my list of things to do. I have to come up with a plan, a better explanation as to how I became pregnant.I’m not above deceptive methods, anything to get him on my side again. He is my only means of fighting Xavier; I am nothing other than a dirt under the shoe when it comes to fighting Xavier. It’s a pity that I gave up my five hotels to him.Betrayal hurts like a bitch. It is so much better when you are t

NatashaPulling my hand away from his, I picked up my coffee cup. “Even though I challenged you to do this, do you think you have what it takes to compete with Xavier Ellmord?” My scrutinizing eyes slowly took in his physique. “You have a nice body build honey, but to beat Xavier, you need to hit the gym very often.”“That shouldn’t be a problem.” He responded smugly “I always love going to the gym, but I haven’t visited recently because the workload at the hotel is weighing me down.”There is no excuse. He doesn’t expect Angela to leave Xavier for someone like him. His muscles can easily go missing inside a suit. “Excessive workload or not, you have to hit the gym.”Lifting his head slowly, he stared at me without blinking and for a moment, he looked intimidating. “I heard you the first time Natasha.”“Natasha?” I scoffed. “You’ll refer to me by my last name.” Placing my hand on the coffee table, I leaned forward and narrowed my eyes at him. “I was married to Xavier Ellmord and I am
Dirty Secrets Chapter 57
XavierRequesting a dinner without a prior appointment isn’t something I would have agreed to had it been a random person. Jackie is really pushing her luck; imagine my surprise when Lucas informed me that she requested a meeting or she’ll show up at my club, knowing the risk factors associated with that.Angela can show up at the club anytime, and I do not want her to run into us; she needs to hear it from me first, not run into us like that.Walking into the Italian restaurant, Lucas guided me to the private booth he reserved for us. Jackie who was already seated stood up the moment she saw me approaching the booth. “I’m sorry for requesting your attention like that.”Sorry? “If you are going to be foolishly brave, you can as well continue with the bravado till the very end.” Pulling out of the seat, I made myself comfortable. “How dare you give me an ultimatum?”Sensing my anger, she looked around nervously. “I’m really sorry. I figured the fact that you are a very busy man, and _”
Dirty Secrets Chapter 58
NatashaThe last time I was here was the day I got married to Martinez. I spent a few days here and then returned back to New York to focus on and handle my business. My days here I can proudly say that I enjoyed and I’m looking forward to seeing someone who made my time here most memorable.Driving into the driveway, I looked out through the window as the driver rolled down the windows for identification. The moment the driver saw me seated in the back seat, he quickly instructed the gateman to open the gate. Bowing his head respectfully, he took a few steps back, allowing my car to drive through.The house looked exactly like it did the last time. Martinez added a few cars to his collections; maybe if things should end well between us, I’ll request one of these Telsa. One of his men opened the door for me, offered me his hand, and helped me out of the car.One of his domestic staff greeted me and helped my driver with my suitcase. “Mr. Wilson wants to see you in his office.”Of cour
Dirty Secrets Chapter 59
AngelaThe news almost made me happy, but the fact that Natasha will be going through a lot right now makes me pity her. Within a few months, she has been divorced by her two ex-husbands. Going through the process of pregnancy all alone isn’t something I’ll wish on anyone, not even my enemy.Xavier has been in a good mood since last night. I’ve asked him severally if he has something to do with this, but I get either kissed or he winks at me, brushing away my question. His actions and mood made me conclude that Xavier has everything to do with this.Glancing at my wristwatch, I was tempted to call and cancel lunch. I’ve been waiting for him for the past thirty minutes and he’s yet to show up. Finally giving up, I picked up my purse and stood up. The exact moment I took two steps forward, the door opened and Daniel walked in. He scanned the restaurant, quickly searching for me and when he found me, he waved and smiled, a smile that I did not reciprocate. Noticing my slight anger, he h
Dirty Secrets Chapter 60
I stomped out of the restaurant, expecting Xavier to chase after me as usual, but he didn’t. Daniel rushed after me instead, quickly intercepted me, and blocked my attempt to open my door.Sly watched us with furrowed brows. He has been standing outside by the car, so he has zero knowledge about what transpired inside.“Let me handle the wheels, Angie.” Daniel requested. “Please. I can’t let you drive like this.”I looked down at my shivering hands. I didn’t even realize that it was shaking. Nodding mildly, I hid my face with massive hairs. Daniel turned to Sly. “You can follow us with the Benz, I’ll drive the Bentley with her.”Sly who is yet to understand the situation nodded regardless. He took the keys from me and watched me closely until I got into Daniel’s car. Daniel started the car, and held the steering but did not make any attempt to drive out of the parking lot. “Where do you want to go?”“I don’t know.” I honestly do not know why Xavier always likes hurting me. “Just take

AngelaPeering my eyes open, I quickly snapped them shut and winced. Remind me not to get drunk in my life again. My head is banging so hard that I’m finding it difficult to keep my eyes open.Inhaling deeply, I summoned inner courage and opened my eyes. The faint light peering in through the small opening in the drawn curtain made me wonder what time it is.Pulling the duvet aside, I sat up. At that exact moment, the door opened and Xavier walked in with his phone placed on his ear. His eyes trapped mine. “Just handle them, Lucas. I do not pay you such a ridiculous amount for nothing. I’ll call you later to know how it went.” He disconnected the call, pocketed his phone, and stared at me unblinkingly. “Hello love.”Still trying to push the headache aside, I crossed my arms. “What time is it?”He stared at the wall clock right in front of me. “Five minutes past seven.” He walked into the bathroom and emerged with the medicine box. “How bad is the hungover?” He asked as he searched thr

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
