Six months had passed since the case between the Kingstons and the Queens. Xavier stopped his car in front of a very tall building and alighted from it dressed in a brown Asia suit. He took off his sunglasses and took a deep breath, it was good to be back in Las Vegas, but for an entirely different reason.The last time he was in this city, it was to confront his biological parents over six months ago, but now he was here for something different, a much better reason. Xavier had come for his company which was almost complete before he suddenly vanished for two months. It was boldly inscribed “Kingston Tech Industry” and even though it was named after his family, the company was completely his personal project.It was the same project that almost got him killed. the reason his brother had become very jealous and attempted to kill him by throwing him off the boat. Now that was the first time one of his brothers tried to kill him, and there is Jimmy who also made an attempt on his life.
Aria took a deep breath in the elevator, she was scared as this was her first job interview in the past three months. She had taken a break after a series of rejection but now she is ready to make another attempt.The elevator arrived at the third floor and she alighted, she was overwhelmed by the big hall that she stepped into. The place was busy but yet very quiet, it was almost as if the people there made no sounds and she found that intimidating.She suspected the owner or at least manager of the company must be a very strict person because how was he able to order such discipline amongst the staff?She walked straight to the receptionist and showed her invitation letter for the job interview. The friendly receptionist directed her to the waiting room where she would stay till it was her turn. Aria nodded and muttered a thank you before leaving.So, it had been six months since she broke her engagement with Jimmy and there had been a few drama since then. Well, she had left the ne
Xavier was seated in his office interviewing the job applicants, he had just concluded an interview with a young lady who was definitely not getting the job as she had nothing to offer, when he noticed something going on through the security cam at the waiting room. He dismissed the lady and watched carefully.He couldn’t believe his eyes; it was Aria! She seemed to be having issues with another applicant. Xavier was both surprised and happy to see her, maybe he wasn’t past her like he had thought.Xavier called one of his staff and instructed him to go and get Aria from the waiting room, he couldn’t wait to see her after six months without communication, which was his fault anyway. He had so desperately wanted to move past the Queen family that he cut off every one of them.Xavier felt something was wrong. If Aria was here to see him, she would have come straight to his office. He went through the list of names immediately and found her name for the job interview. He must have missed
Aria walked out of the company in sheer joy, words couldn’t describe the way she felt. Not only did she finally get a job, but she was the Assistant to the CEO of the brand new Tech company in the city. She didn’t expect to get to that position, at least not in the next five years.Aside from that, she was also glad to finally meet Xavier again, at that point she had started to think that they would never cross paths again, since she had broken ties with the Queen’s family; only if she knew how wrong she was.Aria was also nervous with a lot of thoughts running wild in her head. What did this new relationship mean for them? He was now her boss and not her fiancée or future brother in law like the previous times, she knew deep within her that she still had feelings for this man, how would she be able to pretend otherwise while working for him.She knew that a romantic relationship wouldn’t be healthy between a CEO and his assistant, it would attract the media and gossip within the comp
The Queen family were all seated at the dining table, having the last meal of the day. That was the one time the whole family got to spend together, and after that everyone returned to their various businesses.Things had never been the same since Xavier and Aria left. Rebecca had grown lonelier and her hatred for Jimmy increased as well. She missed Xavier and Aria and it was all because of Jimmy.Susan and James were never the same again, they didn’t talk or fight about it anymore but it was like a stain on their skin that wouldn’t wash out regardless of how long they attempted to get it off, they would forever feel guilty about what happened months ago.Jimmy was the one who didn’t care much, he never loved Aria to begin with, he was only obsessed with her because she wouldn’t let him touch her till they got engaged. After having sex numerous times with her, he didn’t see anything interesting about her anymore and so he was very glad when she chose to break the engagement. At least
Jimmy retired to his bedroom and went into deep thoughts, he was angry and sad as well after finding out about Xavier. Until now, it hadn’t bothered him but hearing that news made him realize what he needed to do.Jimmy was jealous to know that Xavier, his twin brother, was now CEO owner of a company while he on the other hand was still fed and monthly funded by his father. He didn’t like that idea anymore, of course he loved being paid for doing nothing, but now Xavier had a title attached to his name and Jimmy wanted the same title.He wanted to be addressed as the CEO of a company in order to equal shoulders with his twin brother. Xavier was already better than him at making friends and relationships, so let them equal in terms of social rank and power.There was one way Jimmy could achieve this and it wasn’t by getting a job or starting a company. He didn’t have enough funds or experience to start his own company and he didn’t even want to go through the stress of starting somethi
Xavier finally arrived home from Las Vegas, he had run an errand after his day at the office because there was something he needed to take care of, shortly. His parents were in the sitting room when he walked in with his suit in hand.“Xavier, are you okay?” his mom asked and stood up immediately, she looked worried.Xavier smiled. “Yes Mom, did something happen?” he asked casually.“What do you mean if something happened? You left for the office in the morning and you weren’t answering your calls, it is very late at night and yet you wonder why I am worried.” She scolded.“Yeah, she had been taking it out on me for hours, I am glad that you are back to face her,” Mr. Michael joked from the sofa where he was busy watching the news on TV.Xavier chuckled. “Mom, you should stop worrying about me all the time, I am not a child anymore.”“Keep it shut, you are always going to be my child regardless of how old you grow,” she replied and the men burst into laughter.Xavier hugged his mom an
As planned, Triple J showed up at his parent’s matrimonial room in the morning, he knocked on the door and after a few minutes, he was asked to come in by his father. That was just the guy he had come to see, his old man!“Hey Pops,” he called fondly.With that alone, Mr. James Queen could tell that Jimmy had come to request something, and it wasn’t a little favor. The old man sighed and wondered what Jimmy had come to ask for this time around, the last time was a very expensive car which he moaned about till his wish was granted.“Jimmy, how was your night, son?” he asked casually, pretending to not know what to expect.“Was good, Dad, except for one thing. I have come to make a request of you,” Jimmy put forth.Mr. James Queen sighed, not like he hadn’t expected this. He looked down while buttoning his inner shirt, he was getting ready to go to his office. Just needed to put on his long tie and suit jacket, then off he goes.“Okay… so what is this that you have come to ask of me?” h
