MADAME BROWNE'S POV

“Madame Browne!” I heard a series of voices calling my name.

My breath hitched in my chest at the sound as I turned my gaze steely to the direction the sound came from? Who was that?

I arched my back sharply, clenching both my jaw and my fists as my grip on the frame tightened. I paced towards the door to my room, my heart racing erratically in my chest.

Once I arrived at the door frame, I stared into the circular glass that enabled me to see who was approaching the room. Despite the glass lenses being dusty and blurry, I could still make out some of the figured of the people approaching the door.

They were males— tall and heavily built.

I tried to shift my eyes to other details that could help but there was nothing— nothing other than the blurry uniform they had on. I recognized it immediately, it was that of Jason's men.

They were exactly the ones I had sent to deflate the tires to all of Xavier's cars. Why were they back?

Worry seared into my blood as I swallow

    MADAME BROWNE'S POV “How fast can you cook up a scandal?” I asked, my voice calm yet rising. The silence that followed my voice was ravishing the glimmers of impatience that seared into my veins whenever I thought of watching several media houses cook up false lies to the public about Xavier.I wanted them all to tag him as a scumbag, someone who cheated on his wife. This was going to be the best punishment for someone who had the audacity to openly insult my husband in front of the board of directors.I bet Lucas would enjoy it too. I clenched my jaw softly, trying to hold back the content that came from just thinking about getting revenge. This was definitely going to be worth every second I put in it.My gaze shifted over to the red wine that was in my glass cup. It had go e down and was due for a refill but I wouldn't do that just yet.I had to confirm from the lady standing in front of me first. She had everythingI had listed to the agency.

    MADAME BROWNE'S POV “I forgot to ask, what is your name?” My voice echoed against the walls of the room, sending shivers down not just my spine but hers also. I moved my gaze to the figure standing in front of me.The soft golden hues of lights hung over her slim features. I watched her run her finger into my hair as if caressing it slowly before finally speaking, “It's Rochelle.”“Rochelle,” I repeated, nodding slowly. I stared at her for a second in admiration. She had just everything that was needed for the role.It would all be more than enough to ruin Xavier's reputation so that once it's Lucas's turn in the 21 days challenge, he wouldn't have to do much. I figured that out along the way. The mind of most humans worked with a certain logic and if you could crack it, you could as well rule over them.The plan was simple. Once Xavier's reputation is ruined in front of the board of directors, they will immediately vote for Lucas knowing fully he isn't really fitted for the role

    XAVIER'S POV I woke up early the next morning to the soft brush of Ella's fingers on my face. I opened my eyes slowly, a yawn tearing out of my lips.I stretched my arms disorientedly as I reached forward to grip her head. “How was your night?” Her voice was warm as I raised my back from the bed and placed a kiss on her forehead.She smiled softly. Seeing her smile made me feel so happy and filled with support. I brushed off loose strands of her hair with my fingers and fixed them to the back of her ears.“You look beautiful today darling,” I complemented, admiring her for a moment before I got up from the bed.“Thank you, hearing your complements make my heart flutter with joy.” She said and I smiled as I flexed my muscles.“What's the time now?” I asked, my breaths coming out in ragged puffs.“Relax, I woke up up early so you could meet up earliest with the second day at the office. I wouldn't want any Madame Browne scheme to stand in the way of you getting there early.” Ella remar

    XAVIER'S POV “What are we going to do now sir?” My driver asked. “I don't still know yet, can't you double check. How can all the cars have they're tires deflated that is just impossible.” I countered, frustration steaming in my veins.I shifted my gaze over to the fleet of cars in the parking lot. They were all over a hundred and something and yet somehow, they're tires had been deflated.There was none I could use. My fists clenched instinctively and my heartbeat increased erratically. I couldn't let this happen. This was part of her antiques.Madame Browne.This was probably part of another one of her sick games.“I have an important meeting I must not miss, it's really important. I don't still understand how all the tires were suddenly deflated who could be behind it?” I ranted, even though I knew fully well it was all Madame Browne's handiwork.She was the mastermind behind all of this.She orchestrated this pull just to delay me and make me go late to the meeting with the sha

    XAVIER'S POV My heart leaped in my chest the instant I heard my driver had found a car that the tires weren't deflated. I flashed a glance at Madame Browne, her eyes were bright with shock and confusion.“Are you shocked Madame Browne?” I asked, my voice sharp. I heard a low grunt slip out of her lips as she Immediately fized her expression, her lips pressing into a tight line.“No, if anything I am happy for you. After all, you can still get to the office within 1hour.” Her tone dripped of clear, direct sarcasm.I fiddled slightly and turned in the direction of my driver. “Take me there I need to first check up on it to be sure.” I said and he led the way to where the car was parked.I followed my driver into the rows of cars, eyeing each and every one of their tires. Like he said, they were all deflated and weren't able to be driven. I strolled past the rows with a nerving sensation lingering in my chest.I clenched my fists to my sides and dug my fingers into my flesh. My breaths

    XAVIER'S POVAfter what felt like an eternity, I opened my lips with short breaths rolling out. I clenched my fists and eyed the car one last time.The bright red color of the car glistened hauntingly, shining like something cut out from a expensive antique collection magazine. “So what do you say, Xavier?” Madame Browne's voice sliced through the fog of tension that encircled me. My fists tightened even more as I released a low grumble feeling emotions that burned me hard in the chest.I remembered each and every words of the president the time he told me about my parents. I dreaded the car so much I had the president place it among his fleet of antique collection at the back row of the parking lot just so I wouldn't be able to see it.I felt my body release a spasm of pain upon the numbing mockery in her voice. I gulped, sweats cascading down my jaw as I felt the air running through my throat grow thin with each whiff.I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to bring myself to say so

    XAVIER'S POV I strolled into the elevator feeling the weight of Alex's gaze on me. After stepping in, the doors pulled closed slowly and I caught the glimmers of fear that bubbled up in his eyes.I could sense his doubts and worry from where I stood but I ignored it either way. I had to get one last thing done, I had to get to the conference room and make sure my uncle was pulling any tricks.I hummed through the rest of the ride and as soon as the door chimed open, I paced into the hallway. My chest heaved lightly as I wiped off the droplets of sweats that clung to my forehead.From afar, I could already hear the soft chattering of distant voices. Some were thick like that of mens and the others were soft and sultry like that of the females.They were all mingling casually, greeting each other with warm voices and soft giggles. I was about taking the last step to towards the door when I heard it.A voice.A knot formed in my stomach as I paused in my tracks, listening closely.The v

    XAVIER'S POV I could feel it in my veins.The president was hiding something from me and I won't stop until I find out what exactly it is. I clenched my fists for a second, following him with a thin gaze. I traced his movements down to where he arrived at the door where a masculine figure stood. Lucas. A wave of disgust crashed in me and I sniffed softly, the intensity of his gaze brushing through my skin. His eyes loomed brighter than any light I'd ever seen. His stance was a perfect replica of a predator, dark green eyes that burned right through me.The cold wind in the room crashed into me as I felt my neck hair stiffen. The room was silent for a while save for the soft screeches of the president's wheelchair.He was about wheeling out of the room when I opened my lips and called for him. “I’ll help you with that.” My voice tore through the fog of unspoken tension and I walked over to to where he stood.I stretched my hands and gripped the handles of the wheelchair before pushi

    LUCAS'S POV I was at the bar when the door slammed open all of a sudden and I heard the heavy thudding sound of footsteps. I was halfway through taking a sip of my drink when all of a sudden, I heard her voice.My blood ran cold almost immediately as I whipped my head in her direction. “W-why are you here?” I questioned slowly with my fingers tightly clutching the glass cup in my hands as I placed it back on the counter. As I uttered the words, two arms snaked around my neck as the soft smell of roses washed into my nostrils. I turned my head in the direction of one of the ladies who was standing close to me as I whispered into her ears. “Stop that.”The arms slithering around my neck uncoiled almost immediately as the girls pulled back. The soft jazz music blurring into the air stopped playing as Madame Browne walked towards me. Her shoes clapped against the floor and the sound echoed repeatedly against the four walls of my room as I held in breath.Iit was obvious she was here wit

    THE PRESIDENT'S POV I knew she fled.I watched her leave.The call I planned was totally staged. It was all a ruse to get her to think the coast was clear when it really wasn't. How stupid of her. For someone as calculating as Madame Browne, I was expect her to have second guesses but I guess what they say was really true.Time does really change things.The Madame Browne I used to now wasn't the quick to jump-at-things version that was here now. I was shocked when I found out she fell for my plan. A dark smile tugged at my lips as I flashed my gaze at the tall, towering figure of one of the guards who was standing by.“She's gone, sir.” he muttered as my smile deepened and I clapped my hands and beamed, “Gloves.”Almost immediately, one of the guards who was standing by passed my leather gloves to me. I took it slowly with my eyes fixed on the way it shimmered under the uneven lighten in the room. My mind flashed to Xavier for a second as I reached into my pockets and placed a call

  • Mommy, I've found daddy.   CHAPTER 298

    MADAME BROWNE'S POV I stayed awake all through the night. I couldn't sleep. The heavy sound of the footsteps grew closer and closer until I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't even winked all through the night— I mean not literally but I'm sure you got what I meant. This was the scariest version of myself that I'd ever seen. I couldn't deny it. The only thing that was just as scary as having someone toying with me was the sight of David, my unrequited love, leaving me and marrying another lady.My nails dug into my flesh and nearly dragged out blood from my palm as I stepped out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. I pushed the door open and searched it with a swift gaze. It was still early. Probably too early to take a bath but I was sure it was needed. I walked over to the other end of the bathroom where the sink was and as I walked towards it, I stared at myself in the mirror. The version of myself that stared back at me as haunting.Black eye bags. Red eyes. Red face. Palse s

    MR MCKINNEY'S POV When I woke up that morning, a surge of adrenaline raced down my veins as I got up on my seat and raced towards the other end of the room where the guard I ordered to make her life a living hell stood. A yawn rolled out of my lips as I got out of bed and winced as I stepped into a slipper and walked over to where he was.It was obvious he had been waiting there for a long minute now. I rubbed my knuckles against my sore eyes as I flickered my lids open and this time, the view I had of the world was more clearer and sharper than before. I stared at the guard and scanned him for any emotions but found none.He was as rigid as a stone.Just the right man for the job. He knew exactly what to do now. I walked over to where he was and as I grew closer, I noticed a bright red hue in his eyes. It was obvious he had stayed there all night. “I remembered telling you to leave once she stepped into the room.” I muttered as he turned his gaze to me and shook his head. “I left w

    MADAME BROWNE'S POV My heart nearly jumped in my chest when the president called me back. I was halfway through walking up the stairs knowing I had him on a leash with that picture but my assumptions were wrong. He didn't believe the lies I made on a whim just to get out of the tight situation he placed me in. “Did you really think I was tagg dumb, Madame Browne?”Those were the words he used. Yes. I could've sworn I nearly lost my footing when he uttered them. My legs quivered almost immediately as I grabbed the railing for support.My head dropped low and I felt my chest rise and fall as breathless pumps of air rolled out of my nostrils. A cloud of perspiration clung to my forehead as I wiped it off with my thumb and was about to move on when I heard a sound.Footsteps.My heart raced in my chest as I quickly straightened my back and turned to meet his gaze. I swerved sharply as our eyes met almost immediately. My breath caught in my throat as I took two steps backwards as she wal

    MR MCKINNEY'S POV Madame Browne's voice rolled out in a low hushed whisper but I was able to catch it in its full glory. My eyes darkened as my fingers drummed against the table before sliding into my pockets and brought out the one evidence I needed in making her confess to all her crimes.My fingers wrap around it's edges as I pulled it out and with a stern frown on my face, I placed it on the table and scoffed. My fingers drummed on the table again but this time, I noticed different emotions surging up in her eyes. Rage. Irritation. Fury.The emotions in her eyes were far more than that but after a scrutinizing search, I could tell there laid darker emotions behind the heavy outer layer she had on. A pressing urge to tease her even more clogged my airways as a breath caught in my throat.“That's it.”With a soft flick of my fingers, I balled them into tight fists and awaited her response silently. Her gaze raked over me as the heat in it burned hard on my flesh but I ignored the

    MADAME BROWNE'S POV He was there.Right there.Seated on the chair and cladded in all black outfits. His eyes sparkled under the soft hues of lighting from the chandelier. As I strolled towards the dining area, my heart thumped violently in my chest. My fingers clenched into hardened fists that were pressed to my sides. Sweats.Cold sweats clung to my forehead as I walked towards the table where he sat. I moved towards the table and once I was close enough, I took a seat on the chair and fixed my eyes on him. He had on a hat that shaded over his face and allowed dark shadows cast across his features.His eyes sparkled nonetheless. His gaze is as heavy as carrying rocks but in my case, the rocks were being dragged against my body. My chest fell as I heaved out a sigh and tapped on the table.“Hello?” I muttered and his fingers which I now noticed were cloaked in dark gloves pulled off his hat. A sense of fear washed into my veins as my lungs tightened and I choked on a breath.A low

    MADAME BROWNE'S POVWhile in my unconscious state, I felt darkness wrap around me. I saw, felt and even heard nothing. Nothing other than that ding. With each time it came, I writhed, twisted and strived to get it to stop. I was sick and tired of it and to make matters worse, I was beginning to get scared to my wits as questions pulsed through my mind. Did I die? Was this all another version of hell? I was expecting an erupting volcano, heat and a little bit of fire but all I saw was darkness. Thick, dark darkness. I was about to ponder on a question when I heard a ding. I tried to move but my body wouldn't budge.I tried again and then again but with each trial, I drew closer to the realization that maybe I had died. I mean my body wasn't going to move anymore and the signs were beginning to police together.I was about to accept the finalisation of my current dilemma when all of a sudden, I felt the elevator shake. Panic surged through me and in a fit of fear and confusion, I trie

    MR MCKINNEY'S POV If you are reading this now, you must've thought Madame Browne had died. Well, I wished she was dead too but not all of our wishes came true and the acceptance of the fact was the beginning of maturity.Don't be discouraged yet. There was still a lot of things coming for her that she just didn't know yet. You see, when I planned on getting someone to do something, I made sure to leave no stones untouched. Right now, I was seated on my chair with my arm crossed and my eyes fixed on the tablet in front of me. Right there on the screen was Madame Browne, fallen and weak with sharp fearful gasps rolling out of her lips.She was afraid.Don't get me wrong this was the only time I'd seen her this shaken to fear. Her hair which you'd expect tostull be tied up in some fancy bun was now let down in rough, messy strands that draped down to her back. She was currently trying to block the dings I was letting off stop but little did she know that I, Mr McKinney, was the one beh
