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
Mr Lincoln's company, Mr Lincoln was holding an emergency meeting in the conference room, and from the look on his face, things were not going well at all. Yesterday, after he left the wedding venue and returned home with his wife and Tracey, he received a phone call shortly after from his assistant, Max, who informed him about the unfortunate event that had happened to the Triple Union company. And because of the bad news, Mr Lincoln hurriedly left the mansion and went to his company. He even stayed at the company overnight and did not return home because of the way he was searching for a solution to fix his company's problem. “Chairman Lincoln, this is not the first time our company has been attacked. The last time we were attacked by an unknown source, we weren't able to resolve the issues. Our company lost a lot of potential business partners due to that. And now, we have been attacked again. All our important business files were deleted! And all our computers and laptop
Nicholas’ bedroom, Alexa woke up from sleep and was yawning with her palm placed against her mouth, before she turned to her side and saw Nicholas, who was still asleep. ‘Gosh. Seriously? I forgot that this was not my room. I will not be able to sleep alone from now on, because I'm married to this jerk’. Alexa thought to herself after hissing. She rose up from bed and put on her nightgown’s jacket. After putting on the nightgown’s jacket, she turned to look at Nicholas. In her mind, she said, ‘My plans have changed, Nicholas. At first, I simply approached you because I wanted to ruin your relationship with Vanessa. I was angry that Vanessa was more successful than me, while I had to rely on my father’s wealth. Luckily afterward, my mother gave me a better idea of ruining both the Diamond V company and the T&N company, while using you to accomplish that purpose for us, Nicholas. That was the reason why I used you to steal Vanessa's company's main fund. I thought that after I did th
Melinda kept quiet for a while. She later frowned, and with a dark look in her eyes, she said to Tracey, “I advise you to mind your business, Tracey. Don't cross the line”. “Sure, Melinda. I'll mind my business and not cross the line”. A smirk appeared on Tracey's lips as she said to Melinda. “You rude child! How dare you call me by my name?!”. “Where is my father, stepmom?”. Tracey asked her. She didn't care that Melinda was angry with her. Melinda gritted her teeth and felt the urge to slap Tracey's face. She struck Tracey’s face, but before her hand could land on Tracey's face, Tracey grabbed her hand. “I simply asked for my father, Melinda. How dare you try to slap my face?”. Tracey’s voice was low, but her eyes and face resembled a psychopath. This scared the heck out of Melinda. “Yo- you. Wh- what's wrong with you today, Tracey? You aren't always like this. What suddenly made you have the courage to face me?”. Melinda asked her and hissed in pain after Tracey roughly let

Vanessa thought about what Xavier had said to her and remained silent. Her hesitation made Xavier become anxious, since he thought that she didn't want to tell him about herself. In actual sense, Vanessa truly didn't want to tell Xavier everything concerning her, because if she did, he would know that she was the Slaying dragon. ‘Should I really tell Xavier everything about me? Is that really worth it? But, what if I did not tell him and one day my secret identity was exposed? Wouldn't that make him feel sad, because I didn't tell him everything about me?’. She reasoned inside her mind. She sighed. Her gaze was fixed on Xavier. Her blue eyes were serious when she said to him, “Xavier, promise me that you will never tell a single soul about what I'm going to tell you now”. Xavier was taken aback. ‘A promise? But why does she want me to make a promise?’. He wondered. He couldn't understand why. “Must I make a promise? Are you planning on telling me some sort of secret?”. Hi
Mr Lincoln and Max arrive at the police station together. One of the police officers led them to the detective’s office. Cassandra, who was wearing a pair of eyeglasses, and was sitting on her office seat, got distracted because of the knock on her door. Staring at the pile of files on her desk caused her to sigh. “It's almost time for me to take a break. Who's knocking?”. She almost hissed, as she was feeling stressed out. She ordered, “Come in”. The door was opened, and Mr Lincoln and Max, including the police officer who led the way, entered Cassandra's office. Mr Lincoln was shocked to see a young lady. He had expected to see an elderly man as the detective. “She's a detective? Are you sure? She looks younger than my daughter. So, how could she be a detective? What a joke”. Mr Lincoln was doubting Cassandra's position. “Ha. I've gotten tired of this already”. Cassandra shook her head and muttered. Mr Lincoln couldn't hear what Cassandra said. He walked towards her and asked
‘What did I hear her just say?’. Tracey was glaring at Alexa who was panting fast, as she thought. Mr Lincoln was also staring at Alexa. He was speechless because of what he had heard her say. When Alexa saw that both Tracey and Mr Lincoln were staring at her in disbelief, she suddenly covered her mouth in shock after she realised the mistake that she had made. “Fa- father-”. “What was the meaning of those words you said, Alexa? Since when did my father's company become yours?”. Tracey asked her. Although she was composed, her heart was burning with intense rage as she continued to glare at Alexa. Alexa, who had never seen Tracey's true colours before, flinched, because of how Tracey was staring at her as if she wanted her to disappear. She also saw that Mr Lincoln was staring at her with suspicious eyes, and that was enough to make her shed tears. “Fa- father. It's not what you think. Waah! I- I- I recently saw the news about your company. I was so heartbroken and rushed
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
