Amelie's eyes grew double in size and she was made speechless upon seeing Zacharie, the same could be said for the crazy lady who slowly backed away, cowering."M..mr. LaCroix." She stammered, her body trembling as if noticing the presence of Zacharie, the city's lord of wealth."Are you okay?" Zacharie asked Amelie and she reluctantly nodded her head, grip tightening on his jacket.Zacharie then turned his gaze towards the woman and narrowed his eyes."You," he said and the woman flinched."I'm sorry! I apologies Mr. LaCroix! I wasn't aware that she was your acquaintance! I'm really sorry!" The crazy woman babbled on in fear.She was aware of how much power Zacharie held in the business world and if he so much as blow wind into the ears of others, her husband's business was sure to collapse and her family would then be really ruined.She had to avoid that fate at all cost!Bowing her head low, she apologized once more. "Please forgive me. It won't happen again!"Zacharie stared coldl
Zacharie's brows furrowed upon hearing the news."What do you mean it's been hacked? How the hell could that happen?" He asked."I don't know Sir! All I know is that I was on my lunch break and when I got back, the entire system was scrambled. All the data is currently messed up!""What?" Zacharie exclaimed."I called the technical team and they said it's the work of a very skilled hacker.""d*mnit." He cursed and then sighed out. "Don't touch anything, I'll be there soon." He said and ended the call, stuffing the device back into his pocket."I have to go," he said to Amelie and turned around, heading for the door.'Oh thank God,' Amelie thought, relief washing over her when she saw him leaving.However, he suddenly stopped just a few steps from the door."One more thing," he said. "I hope during our next appointment, you'd take my words much seriously."And with that, he stepped out of the examination room. The nurses which were waiting outside quickly bowed their heads as he walked
"Thief?" Amelie frowned at the words, confusion written all over her face."Mommy," Miguel tugged at the sleeves of her shirt. "It isn't true." He said."I know dearest," Amelie said and then turned back to the adult, raising her voice. "I beg your pardon, but I think you've got something wrong. My daughter is no thief.""Really? Cause my son here had his ice cream stolen by her." The woman said, pointing at the male child which was standing just a few feet away from her.Amelie glanced between the mother and son pair, refusing to believe what she was hearing. For one, She had raised Michelle in the best way, making sure that stealing wasn't part of her virtues and secondly, with no more than a glance, Amelie could tell that the pair of mother and son was trouble."Look here Ma'am, I think you have got something wrong. My daughter would never steal from someone even if she wanted what the other person has." Amelie said and the woman gasped, offended."How dare you! Are you calling my
In surprise, both their eyes grew and Michelle pointed at Zacharie."Handsome uncle, what are you doing here?" She asked.Zacharie nearly chuckled at the fact that Michelle had called him handsome, but also frowned slightly when realizing that she had called him uncle, indicating that he looked much older than his age.He didn't dwell too much on that however, he instead decided to focus on answering her question.He took the seat opposite them and folded his arms across his chest. "That video, the one from the school which is now circulating online, that was your doing, yes?" He questioned.Miguel's eyes widened and terror could be seen clearly on his visage.Oh no, was Zacharie going to tell his mother about the video...and his secret? He couldn't help but think.Zacharie saw the look on Miguel's face and laughed. "I'm not going to tell on you, so you can calm down.""You're not?" Miguel asked, as he tilted his small head to the side in confusion.Zacharie shook his head. "I'm not."
The very next day, Amelie took the twins to their new school as agreed upon.Golden Spring international school lived very much up to its reputation with colorful ceramic walls and large windows that provided a great view of the garden outside. The hallways were wide and the cl*ssrooms were big, the facilities were state-of-the-art and the staff were well trained and welcoming.The principal was especially pleased to see them.After taking their time showing them around the campus and introducing them to their new cl*ssmates, they were soon sent off to their homeroom cl*ss.They had only started attending the school today, but Amelie could see how well her children fitted in. They quickly made friends with children their ages and became favorites of teachers who complimented them because of their smart intellect.All in all, it was safe to say that her children were their happiest at their current school. And Amelie knew that she had made the right decision about bringing the kids in.
LaCroix Empire Headquarters.Zacharie sat behind his desk in his office, eyes glued on his computer screen and fingers typing away on his keyboard when he heard a knock on his door.He lifted his gaze from the computer screen and called. "Come in."The door opened and Eric stepped in, closing it behind himself before bowing."Sir," He greeted. "I have the report on Michelle and Miguel Arnuad that you asked for." He said, holding up the brown envelope in his hand so that Zacharie could see."Bring it here." Zacharie beckoned.Eric nodded and walked up to his boss, placing the file on the desk and backing away."Is there anything else you need me for, Sir?" He asked."Hmm," Zacharie hummed and glanced down at the file on his desk, shaking his head as he reached for it. "For now, no.""I understand." Eric nodded but instead of leaving immediately, he lingered in the room, watching as his boss opened the envelope and took out it's content.The envelope's contents were a few reports concer
The sun had already set, Amelie sat in a taxi with her children driving towards the direction of her hospital after having picked the twins up from their school.Her mind had been filled with thoughts of her children ever since she had met up with Chloe. At first she tried to convince herself that it just might be another trick being played by Chloe, but after pondering on the topic for a day and a half, Amelie had decided to take the children to do an examination.After all, there was nothing wrong with being careful.Arriving at the hospital, Amelie stepped out of the cab with her children and paid before walking into the hospital. She had set up an appointment before time and was also a worker there, so she simply walked past the receptionist and towards the examination room.The doctor was already there, standing with his back towards her and facing the computer screen.Amelie knocked twice on the door and opened."Mr. Bordeaux," She greeted."Ah, Ms. Arnuad, you're finally here."
Amelie squirmed beneath Zacharie, trying to push him away, but he wouldn't budge. As soon as Zacharie had kissed Amelie, it felt like he had tasted something addictive and couldn't bring himself to stop.Having just stepped out of the shower, he only had a towel wrapped around his lower half. From his torso upwards was exposed, drenched in beads of shower water that soon began to drip onto Amelie's shifron white gown, wetting it and making it cling to her skin."Mr. LaCroix....please stop..." Amelie whimpered out, trying to get free.However, Zacharie who felt like he was getting too addicted to the taste of her lips and felt his blood heating up from their interaction, did not stop.His hand slowly made it's way towards the hem of her gown and just when he was about to slip his Finger underneath her dress, Amelie finally put some distance between their lips."Mr. LaCroix! I'm warning you to stop now, else I'll have to report you for rape!" Panting hard, Amelie warned.Her face was fl
