The cab stopped in front of the cyber cafe before Vanessa paid the cab driver his money.She said to Eric and Derek, who were sitting with her in the back seats, “Let's go outside”. Eric and Derek, including Vanessa, got out of the cab afterward. Eric and Derek had no idea why Vanessa was walking towards the cyber cafe. But still, they followed her all the way inside. And before Vanessa could go upstairs, they stood in front of her and stopped her.“Alright, this has to stop, Vanessa. You're being mysterious, and that's not funny anymore. You are seriously scaring Derek and me”. “Keep quiet and follow me fast. Soon, you guys will understand the reason why we came to this cyber cafe”. Vanessa said to them. She coincidentally saw Raquel and saw that she was busy. “Both of you, follow me upstairs quickly”. Vanessa whispered to Eric and Derek. She was the first person who went upstairs, because she did not want Raquel, who was talkative, to notice her presence or to see her. Staring
“Oh. Now that makes sense, Vanessa. Because there's no way Eric and Derek would have found this place or know your secret identity, unless you told them yourself”. “You may be right, Finn. But, if Eric and Derek had put in great efforts, they might have actually figured out by themselves that I am the Slaying dragon. After all, they are the Legendary Lion”. “Wow”. Finn was amazed, before he realised what Vanessa had said, and became speechless. His index fingers were still pointing at Eric and Derek as he asked Vanessa, “What did you say? Both of them are the Legendary Lion?! Is it the same Legendary Lion that you exposed their hacking source three years ago and almost made it possible for the police to arrest them?”. Vanessa slapped her forehead in disbelief, before she glared at Finn to stop talking. Although Finn had shut up, Eric and Derek were staring at Vanessa with their mouths slightly open. “Wait, what? Sis, were you truly the one who exposed our hacking source? No way
“Vanessa, stop laughing at my picture. You're making me feel uncomfortable”. Finn said to her. And since he had seen proof that Eric and Derek were truly the Legendary Lion, he said to them too, “I believe you guys. So, can you please use your hacking abilities to see if there are any others of my high school pictures that magically did not cease to exist after I had deleted them? If there are any pictures left, please permanently delete all of them for me fast, before I lose my mind. Those pictures are embarrassing for me! They are my worst nightmare”. “Fine. I can do that for you”. Eric replied to Finn, and was on it.Derek knew that Eric could handle the deleting task on his own, so he switched off the laptop he had used. It took up to 10 minutes for Eric to delete all the high school pictures of Finn. It took him that long because it wasn't an easy task to find the pictures. It was true that Finn had indeed deleted the pictures, but unfortunately for him, he forgot to delete th
Everyone had completely left the wedding venue, except for Sofia, Benjamin, Hannah, Mrs Wilson and the wedding couple. The wedding couples, that is, Nicholas and Alexa. Since Thomas, Daniel and Olivia had left with their own cars, only two cars were left. So, Mrs Wilson, Hannah, Sofia and Benjamin entered the same car. While Nicholas and Alexa entered the other car. The chauffeurs who were sitting in the drivers’ seats, drove off almost at the same time. Nicholas and Alexa's car was ahead, while the other car was behind them. “So, where are we going now, babe? Are we going to our own mansion? Yesterday, remember you said that we're both going to start living under the same roof today”. Alexa rested her head on Nicholas’ shoulder as she said to him with a smile on her face. Nicholas smiled at Alexa. He gently patted her hands as he replied to her, “Yeah, I remember I said that. But, I didn't mean we'd live in a new mansion, my sweetheart”. Alexa was stunned. She stopp
“Huh?”. Vanessa became confused after the rain suddenly stopped pouring on her body. She looked up, and that was when she saw the blue umbrella that was above her head. Because Vanessa was surprised, she turned around, only for her to see Xavier standing behind her. He was the one holding the blue umbrella. “Xavier?”. Vanessa muttered as she continued to stare at his face. Xavier was also staring at her. Vanessa began to wonder why Xavier happened to be outside at a time like now. She asked him, “Why are you here? Are you coming from somewhere?”. Xavier saw that a few drops of rain were pouring on Vanessa's body, and that made him cover her even more with the blue umbrella. He smiled at Vanessa for a brief moment, before he replied to her, “I was waiting for you to return home”. Vanessa was puzzled due to Xavier's reply. She had not expected him to be straightforward when answering her question. She was staring at his eyes, and before she knew it, her heart pounded fast, causing
The next day,6:30am, Vanessa woke up early and took her bath. After that, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. “What should I cook this morning?”. Her fingers were placed on her chin as she asked herself this question. She sighed and said, “I wish I knew Xavier's favourite food”. After saying this, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she almost laughed at herself. “Why do I care about Xavier’s favourite food?”. She wondered and was confused.Vanessa was preoccupied. She did not even know that Mrs Charlotte had entered the kitchen and was talking to her. “Vanessa, are you alright? You're not replying to me. Are you planning to cook?”. Mrs Charlotte said to her, but Vanessa was not paying any attention to what she was saying. ‘Is something wrong with her?’. Mrs Charlotte thought to herself and was staring at Vanessa who was holding one of the kitchen frying pans. She went ahead and touched Vanessa's shoulder, and instinctively and automatically, Vanessa asked h
“There's no problem. The hamburger and chocolate cookies tasted familiar to me. That's all”. Xavier replied to Vanessa. He sat in his seat and quietly ate his breakfast. Though, his mood had changed drastically. Breakfast was uncomfortable for Eric and Derek because the once cool atmosphere had now become cold and dangerous. They saw that Xavier was quietly eating, but his face made it look obvious that he wasn't in a good mood. And Vanessa, they saw that her actions were similar to those of Xavier. “Let’s wrap our hamburgers and chocolate cookies and take them to the cyber cafe’s secret lair. We will eat them there rather than here. I can't even chew and swallow my hamburger without feeling uncomfortable”. Eric whispered into Derek’s ear as Derek was sitting next to him. Derek nodded without hesitation after hearing what Eric had said to him. He couldn't wait to leave the dining room also. Eric smiled at Derek, before he stood up suddenly and went to the kitchen in order to find
The villa had a gate, so Vanessa gave Xavier a signal for him to stay in his car while she got down from the bike and removed her helmet, before she went and knocked on the gate.She knocked twice, and the gate was opened by an elderly woman. The elderly woman was holding the open gate and did not come out. “Young lady, who are you? What business do you have here?”. The woman asked Vanessa, and Vanessa couldn't answer her question because she had no idea why Xavier had brought her to this place. “I can't answer your question, ma’am. But there's someone who might”. Vanessa said to her. She intended to take Xavier to the elderly woman, but as she turned around, she saw that Xavier was standing behind her. The elderly woman removed the eyeglasses from her eyes as she saw Xavier. “Xavier?”. She muttered in disbelief, before she hugged Xavier and said, “I can't believe you're here, my child. It's been six months since your last visit. And why didn't you inform me that you were coming
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
