She growled."I won't leave until we're cool " he said."Okay then Mr cool kids " she said as she turned around to face the other way.He turned her around immediately and just as she was about to rant he slammed his lips on hers.She wanted to resist but he kept on kissing her anyways and she slowly yielded as she reciprocated as she turned fully to face him.*Anyone can have their way with you* Mia's voice rang in her head and she shoved him off immed

Xavier whispered as he stepped out of the car."Yes boss , it's me " she replied and he immediately walked towards her."Let her come into the car please " Carl said to him and he nodded as they both walked back inside the car.Xavier took his initial position beside Carl in front and Mia took her seat in the back seat."You sent this message ?!" Carl asked immediately she sat and she nodded."I do " she replied."So what you know about Liam " Xavier asked."I've been keeping a lot from you boss and I can't do this anymore " "You and Ariel you don't deserve the agony , Liam has in store for you " she said ."Explain " Carl whispered."First of all Liam is my brother , twin brother !" She replied."Wait what !!!" Xavier growled immediately as he turned in his seat to face her."Where is that coming from , how did that come about""How is this even possible you and Liam , I've never pictured that !!"

Xavier's Residence ...Xavier slowly twisted the key in the door knob before pulling it open."Babe , you're back " she said as she stood up and walked towards him, she was currently on a video call with Olivia and Miguel and they were connected via the TV."I was just talking to Miguel and Olivia " she said as she stood on a tiptoe and placed a kiss on his lips , he wrapped his hands around her waist pulled her closer and deepened the kiss."Hm hm " Miguel cleared his throat but Xavier wasn't bothered at all."What's going in baby" Ariel asked as they disengaged and he slowly walked to where Ariel was seating before and took his seat there while Ariel joined him in the chair too."Ariel told us about where you went , what's going on did something go wrong " Miguel asked and Xavier exhaled deeply."Guys " he whispered."A lot of things went wrong " he replied."What exactly is going on , can you stop keeping us in suspense?!" Olivia said."Remember , Liam's twin I told you about ?!" H
"Mother" Liam whispered as he walked towards the bed where his mom was laid. "I never wanted to do this " he whispered. "Mia did this to her" Uncle Mark said as he walked into the room . "I'm sorry mother " Liam cried as he knelt by her bed "I'm sorry mother please forgive me " he repeated "But you being alive will be a huge threat to us , you'll reveal all our secrets to Xavier " he whispered. "I had no idea , Mia would do what she did " he explained like he was talking to someone who could really hear him. "That's enough Liam" Uncle Mark said. "No dad it's not enough " he said. "I had always thought whether I see her dead or alive , it wouldn't bother me " he replied. "Then what is this heavy feeling in my chest " he replied. "What's this pain and hurt I feel right now " he said. "You love your mother and that's alright , at a point in everyone lives their journey ends , this was the end of hers " he replied. "And I had to be the catalyst of her end ?!" He asked. "You
Next week ...... Monday morning... 10:00 am .... "It's nice doing business with you " "Same here Sir" Xavier said as he stood up with a small smile and stretched took his hand in his. "It's a nice work you're doing here , cheers to doing more business together in future " he said and Xavier smiled. "I'll totally be looking forward to that " Xavier said with a small smile. "Miss Ariel !" He called and gave her a side hug. "You're doing well , you're one of the newbies in business that makes us proud " he said and she smiled. "Thanks for the kind words sir " she said and he nodded. "You deserve it " he whispered. "I should be on my way now , I have a lot of other important things to attend to " he said and they nodded with a smile. "Thank you sir " they said finally as he stepped out. Immediately he stepped out , just as they were packing their things while talking to themselves and laughing the door opened and all the shareholders began to walk in. They stood up straight i
12:00pm .... "Hmmm" Ariel moaned as Xavier kissed her , they were in the car at the airport waiting for Olivia and Miguel and one thing led to another they began to smooch. "I never can get enough of you " Xavier murmured. "I know " she replied with a small giggle as they kept on kissing, he slowly reached for the control of the chair and pulled her chair downwards as he kept on kissing her touching her all over as she moaned in ectasy. "Baby" she murmured and he deepened the kiss. An harsh knock on the window brought both of them out of whatever la-la land they were in. Xavier looked up and he saw Miguel staring at him with a shrug and Olivia standing behind him with her palms over Michaela's eyes. And he quickly let of go of Ariel as he pulled her chair back to a sitting position. "Hey welcome back home Man!!" Xavier said as he and Ariel stepped out of the car. "Welcome back home Man ," Miguel mimicked while rolling his eyes. "Please leave my front and open the trunk " he s
This seemed like the end , she thought as she slowly made to turn to face him, thinking of possible stories she can make up to justify why she was there. Just as she was about to face him she heard him groan in pains and felt him drop to the ground. And she turned at once to see Liam with a thick stick in his hands. "Quick come on let's leave here " he said as he stretched out his hand to her . "Liam ?!" "What are you doing here ?!, She asked I'm shock " "This is not the time for questions and answers " "He'll wake up soon , let's get out of her immediately " he said and she turned one last time to look at Xavier's unconscious body on the floor before running off with Liam. "Why did you come ?!, You said you weren't coming?!" She said as they drove home. "Your visit there didn't go down well with me " he replied. "I had a bad feeling and I just felt like I should follow you there " he replied calmly and she nodded as she turned to look outside through the tinted glasses. "
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 ?!!" Xavier called as he barged into the house and she jumped on the chair immediately and stood up "Xav
"I do " she whispered immediately."Is my Mom really dead ?!" She asked in a whisper and Carl nodded slowly."She is " he whispered and she bursted out wailing."I'm sorry " he said as he pulled her into an hug ."Liam is such a bastard " she said after some minutes of crying."He has said it and he did it " she murmured."He killed our mothers, my own innocent mother !!" 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 !! " Miguel said and Xavier stood up immediately and ran to her."Look I was drunk , I didn't know what I was doing ""I had no idea what I was doing, I was highly intoxicated " he said and he held her hands.She snatched her hands from him and turned to face him."So You have the right to cheat on me , because you were drunk?!""So after I left your house yesterday , she didn't leave , she was still there ?!" 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 !!" She said and wiped the teras on her face."I'm sorry , I was drunk I mistook her for yo
Later in the day .....10:00 am ..."I'm sorry for speaking to you rudely yesterday " Xavier said to Miguel over the phone "That's alright," he replied."She's leaving this morning" he said."She's packing her things already " he said and Miguel nodded."Okay ""What's done is done there's no need to cry over spilled milk " he said and Xavier nodded slowly."Did Ariel agree to come here ?!""What did Olivia say " Xavier asked."She'll be coming in by one clock today " Miguel replied and Xavier looked up to see Rose dragging her bag downstairs."Thank you , let's all meet at your office today , we need to talk " he said."What's going on , what happened that it's so important we have to talk ?!"

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 ... " She tried to say but he interrupted her."Ariel please don't walk away " "Listen to me " he said."And she slowly walked back and sat on the chair beside him.""I didn't mean to kiss her " he whispered."I don't know what came over me " he said ."Do you still love her ?!"

Miranda asked ."We were already making progress right " She added and Ariel slowly walked to her and sat beside her on the chair.She slowly leaned in and wrapped her hands around her Mom and rested her head in her bossom."What's going on ?!" Miranda whispered."Just let me stay like this Mom" she said as she closed her eyes and Miranda slowly reached for her arms and slowly caressed it ."I'll be fine Mom " she whispered as she finally raised her head."You can talk to me dear " Miranda said and Ariel smiled."It's nothing important " she replied."I'll be fine actually " she said."See ," she said as she raised her hands and showed it to her mother."Ohh, you returned the ring " She said and Ariel nodded slowly."Probably why I'm feeling the way I
