Just like a breeze, a week passed. Vanessa had been going to her company everyday without taking a break because she didn't want her little brothers to cause any mess for her since they also come to work in her company everyday too. Ever since the moment Eric and Derek started working in Vanessa's company, she made them work in her office because that's the only way she could keep a close eye on them. Currently, Derek and Eric are in Vanessa's office, and she was with them. “I've been meaning to ask you this question, big sis. For the past week, where have you been staying?”. Derek's hand was placed under his jaw as he questioned. “Yeah, I wanted to ask the same question. I mean, after work, you always drive me and Derek back to your apartment. But what about you? You haven't slept in your apartment for seven days and counting now”. Eric said and was already expecting Vanessa's reply, but soon, he pouted his lips and furrowed his eyebrows when he saw that Vanessa continued re
Mrs Charlotte remained silent after she said to Xavier. “You can continue what you were doing”. Xavier simply said to Charlotte and ascended upstairs to his bedroom. Upon arriving inside his bedroom, Xavier removed his shirt and entered his bathroom. Soon, he stood under the shower after switching it on. “Where could she be at this late hour?”. Xavier muttered, his voice was husky and deep.Xavier remained in the bathroom until he finished bathing. And after he finished bathing and putting on his casual clothes, he went to Vanessa's room, but she still hasn't returned. Checking the time in his cell phone, Xavier saw that it was almost past midnight. “I'll find her myself”. Xavier said to himself before he came out from the Mansion and walked to his car. Xavier got into his car, he sat in the driver's seat and drove off. Actually, unknown to Vanessa, Xavier knew where her apartment was located. Xavier was able to arrive at Vanessa's apartment quickly because the road was less bu
“Is he your boyfriend?”. Xavier was staring at Vanessa without blinking an eye when he asked her. “Bo- boy what? Him?”. Vanessa asked and soon burst out laughing in disbelief. She laughed out for a very long time before she finally got tired and cleared her throat. “Oh, you're actually serious with your question?”. Vanessa questioned and when Xavier didn't reply to her, she wrapped her hands on her chest and added, “Don't you see the resemblance? He's my little brother”. “Little brother?”. Xavier muttered and couldn't believe himself for getting jealous all of a sudden. Even though Xavier's voice was absolutely low, Vanessa was still able to hear what he said. So she said to him, “Yes, he's my little brother…. In fact, he's a twin, and I bet the other twin would soon wake up if he didn't see his brother. You know, they're inseparable. And to be honest, I didn't tell them about the contract marriage because I didn't want them to know about it”. Vanessa sighed before she added, “T
Eric did as Vanessa ordered him. He hurried to the guest room and immediately woke Derek from his sleep. “But I want to sleep longer”. Derek groaned and complained after Eric woke him up and refused to let him sleep again. Seeing that Derek laid on the bed again, Eric shook his head and smiled when a solution popped into his head. “You dare to sleep again, Derek? Let me just remind you, our big sister will fire you from work”. Eric mischievously announced. After hearing what Eric said to him, Derek immediately opened his eyes. Not only that, he also slapped his own face before he rose up from the bed speedily. “Tsk, you punk, you're so afraid of our big sister”. Eric wrapped his hands on his chest as he teased Derek. After what Eric had said to him, Derek slightly frowned his face, before he grinned and threatened Eric, “Since you're not afraid of our big sister, I'll go to her right now and tell her that you wore her favourite scarf when she wasn't around. I'll also tell
After breakfast, Eric and Derek did exactly what Vanessa requested of them. They created a totally inexistent lady, and uploaded her pictures on the Internet, as the owner of Diamond V company. “Good job, little bros. You guys are really good with this computer stuff”. Vanessa complimented Eric and Derek who smiled proudly at her. “You see, that was why me and Derek decided to be businessmen”. Eric announced, but was spanked on the head by Vanessa. “You brat. Just keep on having fun working in my company. But I assure you, one day, our Mom and Dad will figure out that you both didn't study to become a lawyer”. Vanessa announced, and immediately she did, both Eric and Derek gulped the invisible lump in their throats. Seeing how scared her little brothers were, Vanessa chuckled at them before she said to them, “Don't worry, because of this favour you two did for me, even though our Mom and Dad find out about the truth, I'll help you out”. “Thanks, big sister!”. Eric and Derek excla
Vanessa arrived inside her office and chuckled when she noticed that the twins were giving her cold shoulders. She didn't question them and just went ahead to sit on her office chair. After Vanessa sat down and was busy engaging herself with work, Eric and Derek adjusted their own office chairs before they began scheming and cooking up something. Vanessa wasn't able to hear what the twins were saying because– their office desks were stationed pretty far from hers– even though they were in the same office. “Derek, it's time to put our good skills to action”. Derek gasped in disbelief after he heard what Eric said to him. He cleaned his ears since he wanted to make sure that he heard correctly. “Wait, you're actually serious about this?”. Derek was in disbelief, so he asked Eric. “Yes. Our big sister knows that we're good at operating computer devices. But remember, she doesn't know we're great at hacking stuff. In fact, no one knows about our true identity! It's time for
Vanessa sighed deeply after she hung the call. Checking the time in her wrist watch, she saw that there was still much time until tomorrow. Meaning that there was still many hours before she'd meet with Finn in the secret lair. Vanessa began with her thinking. She was planning to go back to her apartment right now, so that in the evening time, she can return to Xavier's mansion. But again, because she was kinda stressed out, she re- decided and suggested going to Xavier's mansion right now. Actually, the truth why Vanessa decided to go to Xavier's mansion was because, if she went to her own apartment, she'd have to cook. But if she went to Xavier's mansion, Mrs Charlotte would get everything covered for her. “It's settled. Xavier's mansion it is. I just hope that no one would ask me why I returned back early. In fact, I can't let any of them know that I took a temporary break from going to my company”. Vanessa announced, and after making sure that everything was set, she drove of
It was finally the next morning. Vanessa lazily got up from her bed. She was thinking that this was her apartment, so she left her bedroom– as she planned to go to the guest room and check after her twin brothers. Upon arriving at the mistake-guestroom corridor, Vanessa opened the well carved wooden door and entered. “Hey, you punks should wake up already. You have to freshen up and go to work”. Vanessa muttered, and when she saw that no one was laying on the bed, she naturally thought that– Eric and Derek were already inside the bathroom. “Mm, diligent boys. They woke up early today”. Vanessa proudly muttered. She was still feeling tired and sleepy, so she simply just went ahead and laid down on the empty bed. On the other hand, Xavier was inside his bathroom. He just finished taking his bath and wore his linen ash bathrobe. Checking himself up in the large wall mirror, Xavier saw that he looked good, so he came out from the bathroom. Xavier hasn't yet noticed Vaness
Xavier flinched, and his eyes widened because of what he heard Vanessa say to him. His hands left the steering wheel as he looked at Vanessa’s face. She was staring at him. “Are you serious about this, Nessa?”. A drop of sweat formed on his forehead as he asked her. He had truly expected her not to give him a chance. “Yes, I am serious about this, Xavier. I'm willing to give you a chance. But if by the end of our marriage contract and I do not have any feelings for you, we'll part ways”.Xavier nodded at Vanessa. His heart was pounding against his chest because Vanessa said she would part ways with him if she didn't have any feelings for him. ‘I will try my best to make you love me before our marriage contract ends, Nessa’. He promised himself in his mind, before he drove off. They were returning home. ….After their arrival at the mansion, Vanessa went to her bedroom to freshen up, while Xavier went to his own bedroom and laid on his king-sized bed. He had a big smile on his face
Vanessa had returned home but didn't see Xavier. She thought about going to Mrs Charlotte and asking her about Xavier’s whereabouts, before she remembered that Xavier must be in his company, since he had made an official announcement concerning his companies earlier. Another thought popped into her head. ‘Xavier named his company Xava? What does that name mean?’. She wondered and was about to take a step forward when she gasped upon realising what the name meant. “No way. Xava? Xa- vier? Va- nessa? That can't be”. She shook her head, as she refused to believe that Xavier would go to the extent of using the first two alphabets of her name. After brushing off her thoughts, she tried to leave the mansion and go to one of Xavier’s companies, when she received a call on her cell phone. As she stared at her cell phone’s screen, she saw that the number calling her was unknown. Irrespective of that, she answered the call. ‘What worse could possibly happen if I answered the call?’. That was
Everyone who had watched the evidence of how Sofia and Mrs Wilson had poisoned Xavier's mother, became so angry. Most of them left their houses and were going to Mr Wilson's mansion. Most of the people were Xavier's die-hard fans. Xavier also saw the evidence and was amazed by how fast Vanessa was able to find the culprits. He knew that it was her who had uploaded all that evidence. “She found them so fast. I wasn't even able to do that”. He muttered, before his mind thought about Sofia and Mrs Wilson. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “I promise I'll make sure that all of them rot in jail”. He declared, before he left the conference hall and quickly went to his car that was parked outside his company. He didn't know where Vanessa was at the moment, but he wanted to go to her company. He knew that even though Vanessa was not in her company, he could collect her cell phone’s number from Eric and Derek and call her. He wanted to collect the complete evidence from her an
The news about the T&N company and the Triple Union company has circulated almost everywhere. People were talking, uploading posts and commenting about it. Meanwhile, inside Cassandra’s office, Cassandra had a smile on her face after she carefully kept her cell phone on her desk. “I knew it and I said it. The slaying dragon would never have attacked the triple union company or anyone without a cause. Too bad for Nicholas and Alexa. Now they have caused their family’s companies to go down the drain. So sad”. She shook her head, before she added, “Why did the slaying dragon help chairman Vanessa? Is she acquainted with chairman Vanessa?”. She paused for a while, and then waved off her imaginations while admitting, “I doubt that. Maybe the slaying dragon simply helped chairman Vanessa, just like she had helped me before. But, I don't understand. That CCTV footage that the Slaying Dragon had uploaded on social media... How did she acquire it? I know she's a great hacker and can easil
‘I guess I should leave Zuri. She deserves punishment, I know that. But, she did what she did out of fear. I should probably leave her in the meantime’. Vanessa thought. And during that moment, she smiled upon remembering something. ‘That day Alexa and Nicholas visited my office to rub what they had done to me on my face... Did I forget that there was a secret CCTV camera in my office? Goodness me. I'll upload that CCTV footage online after I finish avenging myself’. {PS: the scene happened in chapter 8, titled; Meeting ex jerk fiance and best friend} Vanessa couldn't help it and burst out laughing with delight. She only stopped laughing because of Finn, who was still asleep. Her blue eyes darkened. “It's time to get to work”. She muttered as she stretched her fingers and prepared them for typing. A while later, Because it was both companies' main funds that Vanessa was taking away, it took her over an hour to accomplish her mission. She wiped the sweat on her forehead, as
Vanessa was riding her bike side by side with different motorists on the road, and sitting behind her on the bike was Claire, who was hanging on for her life. “Haha. Claire, your brother is tough. But fortunately, I was able to win back his support with the help of my stubbornness and you!”. Vanessa exclaimed. She was happy that even though Blake was upset with her for blaming Claire, he was able to sympathise with her, since it wasn't entirely her fault for blaming Claire.“Yeah, Blake is tough, Chairman Vanessa. But I'm glad we're back to being partners again”. Claire said, while trying to maintain her balance, so that she wouldn't fall off the bike. Because of how stiff Claire sat on the bike, Vanessa chuckled. ‘She must be afraid that she might fall off’. She thought, as she decided not to talk to Claire again until after they had arrived at her company and were standing on foot. Diamond V company,Vanessa's office,Derek and Eric were pacing back and forth together. They had a
Earlier,“What's taking them so long?”. Gabriella frowned as she asked herself. She had gotten tired of staying in the car for so long. The minute she got out of the car, that was when she saw Jasper and Captain Tristan returning with a handcuffed guy.She stared at the handcuffed guy carefully before she realised that he looked exactly like that cyber cafe owner whom Isla and Nova had bribed. “Finally”. She sighed in relief, and her eyes never left Alvin's side. After Jasper, Tristan and Alvin had arrived close to Gabriella, Gabriella forced herself not to attack Alvin. “Let's return to the police station”. Tristan said, after he had used force to make Alvin enter the car. Since Alvin was sitting in the backseat, Jasper told Gabriella to stay in the front seat with Captain Tristan, while he sat in the backseat with Alvin. He could never allow Gabriella to sit together with Alvin. Tristan started the car and drove off to the station. Within a few couples of minutes, they arrived
Inside the airport building,Tristan knew the face of Alvin, so the search was going pretty smoothly for him. After searching for Alvin for a few minutes, but couldn't find him anywhere in the airport, Tristan smirked as he thought to himself, ‘I knew it. There's no way these two amateur siblings would be able to find the people I couldn't find’. There was still a proud look on Tristan's face when he suddenly saw Alvin, who was at the boarding entrance and was holding blue luggage by his side. “What the”. He became utterly speechless and had to look at Jasper who was behind him. “This is impossible”. He clenched his fists as he muttered. “Did you say something just now?”. Jasper asked Tristan, but Tristan, who was stunned, didn't answer him. ‘I don't believe that these two amateur siblings found the culprits on their own. I must ask them how they did that after I arrested that annoying cyber cafe owner’. Tristan thought. He hated to admit it, but he was feeling completely incompete
Jasper and Gabriella had both arrived outside the police station in a taxi. After Jasper paid the taxi driver his money, he and Gabriella stared at each other's faces and nodded twice, before they walked into the building together.Upon their arrival inside the building, they were stopped by one of the police officers. “What can we help you two with?”. He asked them. Since he was assigned to the police station today, he had no idea that Jasper and Gabriella had come to the station before.“We're here to meet Captain Tristan. I hope he's around today?”. Gabriella said to the police officer. The police officer got confused for a second. ‘Both of you are here to meet Captain Tristan? But no one informed me about you two’. He wondered, and when he opened his mouth to say something, a deep voice was heard behind him. “I see both of you are here again”.The police officer turned around quickly and saw Tristan, whose hands were positioned behind his back. As for Gabriella and Jasper, they
