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
Vanessa returned to the secret lair with the cleaning materials. She handed over to Finn– the vacuum cleaner. “You're going to use the vacuum to clean the floors. While I am going to clean all the tables and chairs. Plus, I'll also clean up the door and windows”. “Any problem?”. Vanessa questioned with threatening eyes, after seeing the way Finn frowned his face. Finn’s face automatically brightened as soon as he saw the way Vanessa was glaring at him. “No problem at all. I'll start cleaning up immediately”. Finn announced and instantly did as he had said. He switched on the vacuum cleaner and began cleaning the floors. While Vanessa, she dipped the neat towel that she was holding– inside the bowl of water. After that, she went ahead and started cleaning the tables first. About 2 hours later, The secret lair was sparkling clean. In fact, the secret lair was just as if they had newly built it. Vanessa was so tired since she was the one who did most of the cleaning. Finn was
Vanessa returned to her room. She freshened up and wore a black T-shirt with black trousers. She grabbed her bike’s key that was on the table before she left her room and went outside. As soon as she put on her helmet and climbed on her bike, she rode it toward the gates, after which the security guard opened the gates for her. …. Cassandra had arrived outside the Triple Union company with officer Ricky by her side. A broad smirk appeared on her face as she entered the company before her. Max approached Cassandra the moment his eyes landed on her. According to Mr Lincoln’s orders, he must assist detective Cassandra with the investigation by showing her all the infected computers and laptops.“Detective Cassandra, I'm glad you made it”. Max smiled as he said to her. Though he became wary of her because he noticed that she was behaving indifferently towards him. “Plea - please follow me, detective Cassandra. I'll lead you to see the laptops and computers that the hacker had attacke
“Say something, Mr Xavier”. Vanessa demanded. “Yes. I loved you even before I made you sign the marriage contract agreement”. Xavier said to Vanessa, and that made her gasp in disbelief. “Yo- you didn't even deny it?”. She exclaimed, and was feeling anxious. “Why would I deny it when my feelings for you are true, Nessa?”. What Xavier said made him and Vanessa stop talking. They stared at each other for a few seconds. “I-” Xavier saw that Vanessa was pressured. He didn't want her to be overwhelmed, so he quickly assured her, saying, “It’s alright, Nessa. I won't ever force you to do what you don't want to do”. He added with a smile, “But you should know that my love for you is true. I would never take any advantage of you or betray you like Nicholas”. “I'll take my leave then”. Xavier left the room after glancing at Vanessa's face. He was going to the living room. Meanwhile, Vanessa couldn't understand the strange feeling she was feeling deep inside her heart as s
Xavier said nothing else after he had finished muttering. He was frowning as he made his way outside. Eric and Derek followed Xavier outside, as they were curious. But Mrs Charlotte remained inside the mansion. She suddenly began to wonder about something that had already been bothering her before, “Why are Master Xavier and his wife still staying in different rooms? And what day would I get to witness their wedding ceremony?”. Mrs Charlotte wondered about Vanessa and Xavier’s wedding ceremony because she knew that Vanessa and Xavier had enough money and were both more than capable of hosting a wedding ceremony. Again, she has yet to understand the reason behind them sleeping in different bedrooms. ‘Are they staying in different rooms because they haven't had their wedding ceremony? But haven't they already registered their marriage?’. She thought and was confused. “Ha”. She sighed in defeat when she realised that she had spaced out. She brushed off all her curious thoughts and
“Calm down, Claire. Stop crying. Give me some minutes, and I'll come and meet you today”. Vanessa said to her, but that only made Claire cry more.Claire thought that what Vanessa had said was an excuse to hang up the phone call. “Claire-”. “Do you hate me, chairman Vanessa? Is that why you purposely said those words to me so that you could hang up the call?”. Claire asked her, before her eyes widened in shock after she thought of something. She asked, “Did you call me by mistake?”. ‘Claire has never behaved like this before. I must have really broken her heart. Thanks to Zuri for framing her. And thanks to me, who believed that she betrayed me! I casted her aside! I'm also at fault’. Vanessa thought to herself. She gritted her teeth, causing the veins in her neck to pop out after she had done that. She felt the urge to vent her anger right now on Zuri. Fortunately, she suppressed and chained all the boiling rage she was feeling. She sighed and said to Claire, “Please listen to me
8:30am in the morning, “Should we knock again, Derek? We have been standing here for an hour”. Eric asked him, but Derek shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. They were standing outside Vanessa’s room, and had knocked several times on the door. But up to this very moment, Vanessa had not opened the door for them. Derek's fingers were on his chin as he wondered. He later said to Eric, “Maybe she's still sleeping”. “But that's unlike Nessa”. Eric said and frowned. He was feeling desperate and unsettled because he wanted Vanessa to tell Derek and him everything that happened last night. Xavier’s bedroom happened to be the closest room to Vanessa’s bedroom. He went out of his room, before he coincidentally saw the way Eric and Derek were about to knock on Vanessa’s room door. “Don't do that, twins. She might still be asleep”. Xavier said to them, causing them to retrieve their hands that had almost knocked on the door. Eric and Derek stopped facing the door a
“What should we do with her?”. Xavier asked Vanessa. There was a dark look in his eyes, and one glance at his face, one could tell that he was ready to unleash his wrath upon Zuri. While still glaring at Zuri, whose hands had become sweaty, Vanessa replied to Xavier, “We should leave her be, Xavier. At least now I know that Claire is truly innocent”. After saying that to Xavier, Vanessa got closer to Zuri and squatted on one knee. She grabbed Zuri’s jaw and raised it up, so that Zuri was staring at her. “Live well, Zuri. Don't you dare try to escape from this house after I leave. One day, I might have a use for you, thanks to your dreadful talent. If you try to escape from this neighbourhood, please know that you will surely end up in jail for framing Claire”. Vanessa let go of Zuri's jaw. She turned to Xavier, who was standing behind. She said to him, “Xavier, I guess there's no need for us to compensate our host for the door you broke. After all, our humble host has a debt to pay
Upon arriving outside the mansion, Vanessa and Xavier rushed to the same car that Xavier had driven to the villa. Using the car key in his hand, Xavier unlocked the car's doors, before he and Vanessa quickly got into the car. Xavier drove off after that. As he was drawing nearer to the gates, he sounded his car horn twice, causing the security guy to come out of his house and open the gates immediately, for Xavier’s car to pass through. Now, Xavier's car was driving on the main road. “According to the location of that strange person, we have to drive for a whole hour before we arrive there, Xavier”. Vanessa sighed in defeat as she said to him. Because of the long distance, her hunch was telling her that the strange person must have committed a crime, for he or she to be staying at such a far distance. Seeing the impatient look on Vanessa’s face, Xavier noticed that she couldn't wait to get her hands on that strange person. A smirk appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said
“Yes, twin brothers. Xavier knows everything because I told him”. Vanessa nodded and said to them. She didn't want Mrs Charlotte to hear their conversation, so she said to them, “All of you, follow me to my bedroom”. Xavier, Eric and Derek obeyed Vanessa and followed her to her bedroom. As they arrived outside Vanessa’s bedroom corridor, they entered the room after they saw that Vanessa had entered the room before them. “Make yourself comfortable, guys”. Vanessa said to them, and she was also the first person who sat down. She was sitting on her bed, while the guys sat on the sofa. “Eric, Derek, you guys should understand that I have told Xavier about our secrets and our hidden identity. So please, I'm not ready to explain further concerning this matter. I'm tired of explaining stuff”. Vanessa spoke her mind. Though they seemed to agree with what she had said to them, and that was enough to make her glad. “Concerning the matter I have tasked both of you guys with, I h
Many hours passed and it was now evening. Gabriella was forced out of her bedroom because she was starving. She needed something to eat since she felt like she was dying. As soon as she came out of her bedroom, she saw Jasper, who was standing in the corridor and was staring at her with a smile on his face. “Oh. Has my princess finally decided to go out of her room? Tell me, are you starving already, princess?”. Jasper asked her. He forced himself not to laugh at her after seeing the pale look on her face. Gabriella didn't say anything and was quietly staring at her big brother who was busy having fun teasing her. “My princess, stop staring at me like that. I was not the one who told you not to eat anything”. Jasper said to her, before he became serious and added, “Let's go to the dining room. It hasn't been long since I made dinner”. Gabriella nodded at Jasper and followed him to the dining room. As they both arrived, she apologised to Jasper, saying, “I’m sorry, brother, for
