He suddenly asked and she turned to look at him."You've been behaving funny since morning" he added "So you noticed" she fumed in her mind and it took her all of her strength not to roll her eyes."Ofcourse" she replied, he nodded and she finally walked out.Conference Room ...."These ideas aren't just there yet for me !"

5:00 pm ..."Xavier I found something interesting " Ariel said as she walked into Xavier's office and slammed the door shut.Immediately she got to his table , he stood up and walked towards her , she slowly turned around to face him , as her back hit the table."What's going on?!" She whispered in confusion as he moved closer to her."So you love him " he whispered and she looked up at him , her brows slowly furrowed , her confusion deepening as the seconds passed."I don't know what you're talking about, who do I love ?! " she whispered."Liam " he replied and her lips slowly stretched into a smile."I'm not joking" he whispered, his facial expression denoting seriousness.her smile slowly faded."Oh, you're serious" she replied as she blinked her eyes."I never confronted you about Hailey , so why are you bothered about Liam , I thought this was an open relationship" she replied."It never was " he replied."Then make me understand what you're doing with Hailey " she replied."Hail
At Home ....8:00 pm ..."Baby" Hailey smiled at Xavier as he walked in with Ariel."You should leave " he said immediately and she stopped in her tracks immediately and raised her brows."What's going on" Hailey whispered."You and I , we're done !" "And you need leave now" he replied."Is it because of this thing" Hailey said as she turned to Ariel , looking at her from head to toe with disgust."You will respect her , because she's my wife " he replied immediately."Yeah right , your wife indeed" she replied but Xavier just blinked repeatedly." Thank you for using me!" She said rolling her eyes at him."Trust me , you'll come back to me , because you'll get absolutely no satisfaction from her !" She replied."Let me be the judge of that " he replied."So please pack up your things and Leave , T for thanks " he said , leaving no room for argument.She hissed and stormed upstairs, they both stared at her as she walked upstairs and in a short while she returned fully dressed and wit
"Police reports says it's suicide " August the Investigator Xavier hired said."That's obviously not a suicide " Ariel said immediately."Even if it was a suicide , where did the rope come from?!"" I smell something fishy" she said."It's either a police man is an accomplice or , they're plainly just really careless" she said."Calm down Ariel " Xavier said as he stretched out his hands and placed it on hers."Please August look into what you've just found again" "It's impossible it's just suicide" Xavier said to him and he nodded."I will" August replied as he stood up and walked out."It's the fact that you're so bothered " Xavier said to Ariel immediately he walked ."Ofcourse, I'd be worried " she replied her face knotted in a frown."I'm involved and I want to know what's really going on" she replied and he smiled."Aww , My baby" he said as he placed his hands on her cheeks and her expression softened."Xavier , about the Asher's project" she said and he immediately dropped hi
Xavier's Office"Wow so today you remember you have a son " Xavier said immediately he picked up his mother's call."I'm sorry son" she replied."I know the past few days have been rough for you and I should have called but it seemed like Ariel has been a pretty good job" she said."So you want Ariel to take your place ?" He asked."You know that was not what I meant , it has been equally stressful for your dad and I , I hope you understand""So rough, not even one call to your only son" he replied."I'm sorry " she repeated."It's actually okay , I understand " he replied."So how are you holding up , and I'm sorry about Beurna corp" she asked."It's fine , I'm very okay " "Like you said Ariel is doing a nice job" he added."Wow , so it's no longer Aries , a lot has really happened " she said."Yes and you missed it" he replied and she laughed."I'm just happy you're happy " she replied and he nodded."Okay Mom, I really need to go now ""Let's talk later" he said "Okay then" he re
"So you've been seeing a girl behind my back?!" Xavier asked Miguel as they walked into the office."It was just one time we met, " Miguel replied."Still , you should have told me about her," Xavier said and Miguel heavily sat on a chair."We flirted just once , felt like we had a connection and that was it " he said an Xavier narrowed his eyes at him."That was really it dude " He insisted."So why the attitude today ?!" Xavier asked."I seriously have no idea" Miguel replied , Xavier just sighed and took his seat in front of him."From the look of things , I doubt she's in support of you and Ariel" he said ."First of all Ariel and I are just friends " Xavier said and Miguel just rolled his eyes."Yes , tell that to the number of times you have kissed her " he whispered."And secondly , do I look like I care about what her friend thinks?!" Xavier said and Miguel laughed."That aside , so how is your Asher project coming along " he asked."And about Fred , do you have any leads on h

Liam asked."What sort of question is that?!" "Would you rather she lives and continue interfering with all of our plans?!" Uncle Mark gritted "No , do you have a plan now?!" Liam exhaled."Yes , I've already sent Tim to do it" He replied."I've told him to lie in wait and follow her around until he gets an opportunity to strike " "What about the both of them , anything sketchy between them?!" He asked looking up at Liam."Yes , there's definitely something sketchy going on and I'm sure I'm gonna lay my hands on them " he replied and uncle Mark nodded slowly."That's the spirit!" "How is covering up Fred's death?!, Are the policemen still
Next day .....Saturday 10:00 am ...."He's capable of making me happy , don't you want me to be happy?!" Olivia mimicked immediately Ariel narrated what happened with her and Xavier."I didn't realize this is what happiness meant to you" she added "I did not tell you this to mock me , I wasn't even gonna tell you about it, you literally forced me " Ariel grumbled as she rested her jaw on her hands and Olivia laughed."Ofcourse you were going to tell me " Olivia said "This is actually not funny , I'm telling you about something that hurts me and you're laughing" Ariel mumbled."Okay I'm sorry" she whispered."I told you , guys like this don't change easily it was just a facade ""Immediately I saw him , I knew he couldn't be trusted" "He actually changed , I don't know what came over him yesterday " Ariel whispered."Really , are you being serious right now ?!" Olivia voiced immediately."Don't tell me you're actually giving yourself excuses for what he said to you!" She said."I'm
Three weeks later ....."Will all the matriculating students rise as we take the school pledge " And Olivia stood up with a small smile as she turned to look at Miguel and the others where they were seated and Miguel blew her a kiss.She dramatically caught it and placed it on her chest as she turned back to face the stage and she joined in with the pledge.****"Congratulations baby " Miguel said to her as he pulled her into an hug immediately they were done with the matriculation program."Thank you baby " she replied with a wide smile."Mama " Michaela called excitedly as she ran up to her ."Aww , my baby " she said as she picked her from the floor and swirled her as she giggled happily and she dropped her."Congratulations Bestie , I'm very happy for you " Ariel said as she pulled her into an hug."I love you " she added ."Congrats " Xavier said as he hugged her too."Thank you Xavier " she said."My baby " Miranda said as she walked up to her ."I'm super proud of you ""Thank

She replied."But we seem to be safe though , she has Amnesia" she said."Still we need to act fast ""After what Mia did , I don't think we can trust her again""We can't even trust her " he added and she nodded ."So now what do you plan to do next ?!" She asked."Hmm "" The past few days got me thinking really deeply " he said and I've come up with just the perfect plan " he said."But for now " he murmured and moved closer to her ""I missed you " he murmured."Your dad is upstairs!" She said immediately and he laughed "You lie , he already left " he said and they bursted out laughing."So you missed me " she asked as she moved closer to him."Hm hm" he replied as he placed his lips on hers and she giggled as they kissed."Rose ?!!"

She said as tears began to fall from her face again."Now you can bring him to book " Carl said and she nodded."Him , my dad and Rose !" She whispered."They'll all suffer for what they did to me !" She replied."Rose ?!""Did you just say Rose ?!" Carl asked."Yes , Rose !" She replied ."Oh my God Xavier needs to hear this " he said as he picked up his phone and put a call across to Xavier immediately.Meanwhile 7:00 pm ...At The Dunlop's Residence ....Xavier slowly walked to the rooftop of the house and took his seat on the wall way up there, turning to face outside, any small push could send him flying downsta
"What ?!!!" Xavier and Ariel chorused immediately.And the two women turned to look at them immediately."How dare you insinuate I'm cheating on my husband" Belinda growled."Whether you are or whether you're not , I don't really care ""All I care about is my daughter meeting with her father and getting the recognition she deserves!!" She replied."Your daughter is meeting no one !" Belinda said."She won't get a dime of what my son has worked for!" She said."Not every one is as shallow as you Belinda""My daughter doesn't need Anders or his money!!" She replied ."She just deserves to know who her father is !" She said."Anders can never be her father !!" Belinda said."Anders has only one child the whole world knows and that's Xavier !!" Belinda said and Miranda laughed."Then explain to me , why some months ago you offered me money just so that I don't talk to Anders about Ariel!""If you knew she wasn't his daughter why did you offer me money to go far away and not come into you
"What ?!!!" Everyone one of them yelled even Olivia ."This is bullshit !!" Ariel said immediately and she stood up."I'm out of here" she said and picked up her bag and stormed towards the door."Dude !!

She said."You know after Miguel's speech , I was considering forgiving you ""Because ofcourse you're only human and we all make mistakes " she said."But this ?! Fucking your ex ?!""It wasn't a mistake Xavier , it's a choice you made !""Something you chose to do and I can't live with it !!"

He asked."It's not an over the phone conversation Miguel, once we see later today we'll talk " he said ."Okay now , I need to go I have a session in a few minutes " he said."Thank you man," Xavier replied."See you later " he added."Yeah " Miguel replied and ended the call."I'm leaving no
7:00 pm ..."Oh my God" Xavier murmured as he staggered inside the house "Xavier " Rose called at once as she stood up and limped towards him, holding the chair for support."You're drunk " she Said"Drunk ?!" He replied with a tut."I'm not drunk " he replied "What is wrong with you ?!!" She asked as she wrapped her hands around his waist and placed his hands over his neck as they both staggered to the largest sofa in the living room."I'm perfectly fine " he replied with a small laugh."I'm good " he added."You don't look good " she replied as she stood up about to walk away and get him water , the expression in his face changed immediately."Ariel " he whispered as he held her hands ."I'm not ...
