Exactly 40 minutes later,

Finn had already returned to the living room about 10 minutes ago. He went to the dining room and sat down, while patiently waiting for breakfast to be served. He was in a hurry to leave the mansion because Vanessa had called him earlier in the morning to meet her at her cyber cafe.

“Why is breakfast taking so long? Vanessa doesn't have all day to wait for me. What if she's already at the cyber cafe and is waiting for me?”. Finn muttered and sighed. He checked the time on his wristwatch and saw that it was 8am.

Not wanting to waste Vanessa's time and keep her waiting for him, Finn stood up from his seat. He had made up his mind to leave the dining room. But before he could even take a step forward, the head maid arrived in the dining room with some trays of food in both her hands.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, young master Finn. There was an accident in the kitchen, that was why it took me a long time to serve breakfast". The head maid explained to Finn, as

    “Eh? What did you say, Finn? The food tasted horrible?!”. Amy exclaimed. To be sure that she wasn't imagining things, she curiously looked at the dining table and saw the way all the dishes were still empty. Amy placed both her hands on her waist, and with a frown on her face, she asked Finn, “Since you said the food tasted horrible, why did you finish everything and not leave any of the food for us?”.“Em”. Finn was sweating. He was rapidly thinking of an excuse because all eyes were focused on him. He did not ever want to compliment Hannah about whatever she did perfectly, because he knew that would make her come close to him and pester his life. After Finn recalled what Mrs Jenny had told him earlier, and after he saw Hannah's injured fingers, he finally thought of what to say, thanks to that. He kept a poker face before he pointed a finger at Hannah and replied to Amy, “Mom, I simply finished the whole food because I had compassion. Earlier, Mrs Jenny informed me that an acciden

  • I'm Spoiled by the Zillionaire Bachelor!   His first wish.

    The time stopped moving after the plates shattered into pieces. Vanessa and Xavier were staring at each other. Their different-coloured eyes were looking at each other’s faces. Both Eric and Derek arrived inside the kitchen. The empty plates in their hands almost fell down because of what they were seeing. Eric and Derek saw the way Xavier was holding Vanessa, and how they were also staring at themselves. “What's going on with them? Can't they tell we're watching them? Why are they standing stiff?”. Derek brought his head close to Eric when he asked these questions. “I don't know, Derek. But pretend you don't see them”. Derek nodded at Eric, because what Eric had said to him made actual sense. He wouldn't want to be the one who interrupted this once in a lifetime beautiful moment. “Ahem, you can let go of me now”. Vanessa said to Xavier. Her face was as red as a tomato, not because she was staring at Xavier’s face, but because Xavier was supporting her off-balance body using his

    ‘Oh boy’. Vanessa thought. She had forgotten about the two wishes she had promised to Xavier the other day. And now that Xavier mentioned what he wanted for his first wish, she was in a tight spot since this wasn't the right time for her, as she had planned to go to her cyber cafe now. Seeing the unreadable look on Xavier's face, it made Vanessa have a complicated feeling. She wanted to tell him that she would agree to his wish tomorrow, because she didn't have enough free time for today. But, she couldn't bring herself to say this to him. In the end, she feigned happiness and said to him, “That's awesome news, Mr Xavier. I now have the opportunity to fulfil one of your two wishes. And it turns out that your first wish is a very simple task for me”. ‘Yeah, your wish is simple for me to do, Xavier. But too bad you had to present the wish to me at a very wrong time, like today. I feel like getting angry at you and hitting your unnecessary handsome face. Unfortunately for me, I can onl

    Outside the mansion, Hannah had returned home. She got out of her car after she had parked it. Her eyes were red because she had been crying ever since she was in Mr Miller's mansion. “I can't wait to lock myself inside my room”. She said to herself, before she took a deep breath and was walking toward the mansion in front of her. As Hannah arrived in the living room and heard what her big brother asked Alexa, she frowned and was confused. She couldn't keep silent and asked him, “Why are you asking Alexa that dumb question, Nicholas? Why are you asking her to marry you? I mean, isn't she your fianceè already?”. She scoffed and sarcastically added, “Please correct me if what I said is wrong”. Everyone turned to Hannah, who was standing next to the door. Sofia and her husband, Benjamin, had the same confusion in their minds. They didn't understand why Nicholas was asking Alexa to marry him when she was already his fianceè. ‘Phew. Please ruin this moment for me, Hannah. Don'

    Staying indoors in Xavier's mansion was boring for both Eric and Derek, who were in their room groaning in agony. They were walking back and forth as they continued to think about what Vanessa said to them before she left the mansion with Xavier. Vanessa told them to quit going to her company for the meantime. She told them the reason for that, and because Eric and Derek did not want to argue with their sister concerning the matter involving Claire, they decided to listen to her and not go to the company. Eric stopped walking around the room. “Ugh”. He furrowed his eyebrows and groaned, before he said, “This is frustrating me in an odd way, Derek. Is it because of what Blake had said to our big sister on the rooftop that caused her to think that there's a possibility that Claire is not the betrayer?”. “I think that should be the case, Eric. But, I don't understand Nessa. She said she wanted to investigate the case further and see whether Claire was the true betrayer, or if som

    After Vanessa calmed down a little bit, she gasped and turned to Xavier, who was looking at her. She was saddened about Derek’s health condition, thus, mistakenly raising her voice against Xavier. “I- I'm sorry, Xavier. I didn't mean to shout at you. I was worried about Derek”. “It's alright”. Xavier didn't hesitate and said to Vanessa. He was not angry that she had shouted at him because he knew that she did not do it on purpose. “You said that Derek's last stomach disorder almost caused his life. How did that happen?”. He asked her. His voice was calm, and the look in his eyes genuinely showed how he was ready to listen to every word that Vanessa might say to him. Vanessa was taken aback. She had expected Xavier to be annoyed at her for shouting at him, but she didn't understand why he was being nicer and considerate to her. Deep inside her heart, she felt guilty. ‘Xavier may look harsh and aloof on the outside, but there's no doubt he's got a nice heart’. She nodded as she spoke

    The next day, Gabriella woke up from sleep, before an excited smile appeared on her face. She got out of bed and arranged the bed, before she rushed to brush her teeth and take her bath inside the bathroom. She was so happy today because she expected Captain Tristan to have already arrested Isla, Nova and the cyber cafe owner. She did not go to the police station yesterday because she did not want to slow down their search for the culprits. It took a few minutes and Gabriella finished brushing and bathing. She wore blue jean trousers with a yellow shirt. She put on her white sneakers and left her room in a hurry. “Jasper, Jasper, Jasper!”. She called his name multiple times in a row. Jasper, who was still asleep inside his room, woke up as he heard his name. He placed his hand on his fast beating chest, and his breathing was unstable. “Jasper!”. Jasper's eyes widened as he heard Gabriella’s voice calling his name. He thought that Gabriella was in trouble, so he speedily got o

    The words that the cop had said to Gabriella and Jasper, were like bombs in Gabriella’s heart. Gabriella’s main purpose of coming to the police station today was to meet Nova, Isla and the cyber cafe owner, whom she had expected to see behind bars. Unfortunately for her, it turned out that Captain Tristan was not able to locate their whereabouts at all. ‘The police captain could not find anything? But, didn't he tell us that he would find and arrest the culprits in less than 24 hours?’. Gabriella thought to herself. She didn't know what to feel. She felt like crying and shouting, but she didn't know which one to do first. Jasper noticed the way his little sister's face became pale. He asked her, “Are you alright?”. “Of course. Yes”. Gabriella replied to Jasper, even though she did not hear what he said. There was a last order left for the police officer to fulfil. So he took out Gabriella’s cell phone from his pocket and offered it to her. Jasper had to collect the ce

    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.

    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.
