Mommy, I've found daddy. CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
ELLA'S POV I glided briskly as I made my way past the hallways in the direction of Mr. Anderson's office. As I progressed through the hall's walls, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread wash over me. Mr. Anderson's call was another testimony to confirm the rumors.Rhea had always been like this towards me, cruel, cold and jealous. I still couldn't place the reason she was jealous of me, my life was just as imperfect as any other nurse in the hospital. I felt a twinge of anger—Rhea had always been a thorn in my side, and it seemed like she’d found a new way to undermine me.As I finally arrived at the entrance of the door, my breath hitched in my chest, anxiety growing in my veins. I sighed deeply, reassuring myself that Rhea's accusations were going to be an easy squeeze. But a glance at the double doors of Mr. Anderson's office gave me a reason to rethink it.From the transparent glass, I could see Mr. Anderson mouthing some words in which I couldn't quite read. I ran my fingers

ELLA'S POV I was standing near the balcony, gasping for air and steadying my nerves. I could see the evening was coming and the charity event was in full swing, however, my brain was still spinning from the day's events. I needed a moment, just a few minutes of peace from the distress that had been going on in me since the day… well, since that kiss. But then I heard him before I saw him. Xavier. His presence was like a storm, which could be seen from miles away. The atmosphere around me was becoming a little bit heavier with his arrival. I didn’t turn around, nor did I acknowledge him, but he was not the kind of man you could easily ignore."So, you’re hiding now?" His voice was velvety, tinged with that arrogant charm he wielded with ease. "You know, it is not like you to run away, Ella."I took a slow, deep breath while my eyes were focused on the city lights through the glass. "I’m not hiding," I said, my voice steady. "Just… taking a break." He came nearer, filling the room wi

XAVIER'S POV I carried Ella into the mansion, her body heavy with drunkenness, though she wasn’t entirely out. Her head lolled against my chest, the scent of alcohol thick on her breath. As we stepped inside, I motioned for my men to help me get her up to my room. Her words were a jumbled mess, half slurred, but the challenge in them was unmistakable.I followed them as I walked past the tight security at the gate all the way to the main mansion. As we proceeded, several maids all bowed and offered greetings. Normally I would dismiss the greetings but today, I acknowledged them lightly with nods and slight hand gestures. With Ella being helped by my men, we entered into the mansion, it's tall walls hinting elegance upon every stare. The coloring were elegant, yet mature— just the way I wanted it to be. I continued in my tracks, veering and turning as we grew closer to my room.As we grew closer, my mind wavered back to the thought of Ella. If I hadn't stepped in back then, she would

ELLA'S POV "CAN I LEAVE NOW?" I managed to utter with a feigned arrogance. I stared at the his cold pair of eyes, his face was almost that with a warrior's mask. My body throbbed from the ache, I tried to rise up to the floorI slowly sat up in bed, finally feeling some strength returning to my limbs. The room smelled of him—fresh, clean, with a hint of something darker underneath. I couldn’t decide if it was comforting or unsettling. Either way, I needed to get out of here. At the same time, my head was beating with the loud noise of a hangover, however, I toned it down, and put my mind on the mission: leaving.The bathroom was just a few feet away, but amidst my steps there, I couldn't help but have seen the surrounding luxury. Everything about this place screamed wealth and power, from the polished marble floors to the massive windows that offered a breathtaking view of the city. It was all so... Xavier. When I entered the bathroom, I washed my face with cold water, but I hoped

ELLA'S POV I stepped out of the sleek, black car Xavier had organized to being me home as the evening breeze embraced my curls causing it to go in the air. Tugging some loose strands behind my ear, I stared back at the shady figure of my apartment. With a sigh, I continued in my tracks as I walked in the direction of the building,my mind flashing back to the thought of Ivy at Mr and Mrs Thompson’s.They had offered to help watch Ivy down till the night as I had told them I would return late since I had to supervise the event down till it's end. As I walked past the group of security at the gate, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.My heels clapped against the hard floor as I made my way towards the door of my apartment. My plan was to enter, freshen up before going to pick up Ivy at the next apartment. But to my shock, when I arrived at the door, I felt a frisson of pure shock in my veins. A low growl escaped my throat as I stared at the unfamiliar lock. That bastard landlord

ELLA'S POV My stomach churned at her words as I felt a rush of anger searing in my veins. My gaze flashed back at the heart wrenching view of my college best friend, Maggie, curled up in the arms of Matt, my ex-boyfriend. The view of the two of them together made my skin crawl as I face twisted into a sneer of disgust. I froze in my tracks, the evening breeze sending cold shivers down my spine. Maggie flashed me a look of undisguised disdain as she said, “Guess even leftovers get reheated.” Her words fueled my anger even more as I felt an urge to tear into them, how dare she? Even after betraying me years ago, she still had to courage to throw insults. My jaw tightened as I masked my anger with a serious frown not hinting any emotions. “My mommy's not trash,” I felt Ivy's grip over my fingers loosen as she squealed in my defense. My heart burned as Maggie broke into a giggle, one that only ensued my anger. “Well, what do we have here.” She turned in Ivy's direction about to beg

ELLA'S POV "He’s my husband, Ivy’s father," I heard myself say, the words tumbling out before I could think twice. There was a breathless moment as if the entire room instantaneously held its breath and then the reaction spread through the crowd like a ripple effect. The words remained ringing in my ears, it was as if, someone else said them. But no it was me – Ella Rocci, who, with uttermost shocking surprise of my life, had just stated that the man besides me was her husband!Xavier didn’t flinch one bit. Without any flinch he then moved his arm around my waist and drew me close as if it was scripted. The contact with his hand at my hip made me sizzle and buck, and the feel of his fingers and palm connecting to my body was a comfort from the unknown that I hadn’t had in years. I could feel the eyes of every single person in the room shift to us, staring with shock intermingled with confusion. It took a few seconds, and by the look on Maggie’s face, she looked as though a light had

ELLA'S POV His eyes glinted with intrigue. “And what’s that?” I let out a shaky breath, steadying myself. “We do this on my terms, Xavier. No games, no manipulation. Just what’s best for Ivy.” “And to ensure a healthy financial background in front of Ivy, we are going to be staying in my apartment for the first three months of our marriage,” I let out my voice in a gasp as I tried so hard to hide all hints of fear from my voice. I could have sworn I saw his gaze harden, his eyes brushing my body hungrily. I was ready to take a huge step, one that included me playing a game with the almighty Xavier McKinney. Xavier’s smile was slow, confident. He knew he had me, but he was smart enough not to gloat. “Deal,” he said, his tone carrying a promise I wasn’t sure I was ready for. “Yay, I finally get to show daddy to my friends.” I heard Ivy yell in joy. I frowned my face slightly as I headed back into the party. When I arrived, the whole event was in full swing, the buzzing of the mu

MR MCKINNEY'S POV As I stretched the wad of cash in Madame Browne's direction, I watched her turn away, swinging her gaze in the direction of the tv. It was obvious she was shocked to find her husband on the screen.He was being featured on the news channel and all his crimes were being listed out. Madame Browne's jaw crashed down momentarily for a moment and in that intense moment, I caught a flicker of rage on her eyes. The edges of my lips pulled into a smile as my eyes darkened.I tightened my grip on the wad of cash in my hands as I fixed my gaze on her. I watched her glare helplessly at the screen with shock plastered over the edges of her botched up face.I heard plastic surgery mostly changes the appearances of people but even though it did justice to her face, I could still see her for who she really was. A demon. A motherfucking demon.She was evil. I had never seen someone as smartly witted as her. She was an evil genius but sadly, her smartness was edged at evil and I ju

MADAME BROWNE'S POV As I steered awake, the receding beeps of a life machine blared into my ears. Stretching my fingers, I blocked out the noise and winced out as a low groan tore through my lips. My eyelids pulled open and as I glared at the room I was in, realization pulled into my veins.I was in a hospital.A god-damned hospital room.I shook my head countless times in disbelief as I glanced around. The sight of hospital beds and the reeking scent of disinfectant confirmed each and every one of my fears. Where was Lucas? Did he kill Xavier and most importantly, why was I here?As I tried to recall all that had happened the day before, I heard the sound of voices outside the room. “She is coming around sir. Within the next two days, she should be able to walk and function well that way, she can be discharged earlier.”The voice that had just spoken was obviously that of a doctor or some male nurse. The level of coldness in it was enough to hint that the person speaking clearly di
Mommy, I've found daddy. CHAPTER 271
ELLA'S POV When my eyes fluttered open, the first sight I caught was that of the man standing by the other end of the room. Even now, I still couldn't believe it was really him. The last time I passed out, I remembered thinking it was all some hallucination but now, I could see it clearly.Really. Clearly.He was standing right there, arms crossed with eyes as dark as night. Despite the heavy beating of my heart in my chest, I managed to pull myself together. I struggled up to my shaky feet and the instant I regained my long gone balance, I raised my head to meet his gaze.The president stood at the end of the hallway. The instant our eyes met his eyes, once hollow with darkness, lightened up as he inched towards me. As he paced forward, I took notice of his walking pattern. I was expecting his steps to come off a bit shaky but instead, they were firm and resounding. His shoes clapped against the marbled floors and as the clip-clapping sound they made trudged through the air, I felt

MR MCKINNEY'S POV That was a close call. If I hadn't arrived earlier, Lucas would have shot Xavier and sent him to an early grave like he had done to his brother. David. Up till today, I still blamed myself for indulging Lucas. I tried all my best to make him the best version possible but like a branch from a wild tree, he bred thorns and now, those thorns were pressing close to my sides.When I saw him pointing a gun at Xavier, I nearly lost it. How dare he? At that moment, I decided cowardice was no longer an option. I was hesitant to report him to the police just because I was scared when he'd come out, he'd try to harm Xavier but that didn't get me anywhere.I'd try to hide Xavier from him at every turn. I'd done it all. Abroad masterclasses, foreign education just name it. But even after all I did, the same confrontation I had tried very hard to escape was now facing me.Before Lucas could pull the trigger, I cocked my gun and slammed a bullet into his arm. As I watched him win

LUCAS'S POV I couldn't believe it.My father actually shot me.How dare he?Before I could react, I felt a sharp prickling pain in the part of my arm the bullet had been logged into. A loud groan rolled out of my lips as I winced loudly and closed my eyes to subdue the pain. My eyes reddened as I felt my knees buckle as fatigue spiraled into my veins.With my heart racing in my chest, I felt blood ooze out of my body as I began to feel dizzy. I tried to hold on to my gun, to shoot, but my fingers gave out weakly. Groaning once again, I stretched my uninjured hand and gripped the edge of the long meeting table. My fingers scratched against the table's rough textures as I opened my eyes.My lashes flustered open and the first sight I caught was that of him. The president. My own father. He was danding opposite me, his arm still raised with the edge of his bullet oozing out smoke.Blowing it out like a professional, he tucked it back into his pockets and shot me a glance. His eyes shimm

XAVIER'S POV As I jammed my eyes close, I heard the loud barking sound of the gun as a bullet launched in my direction. My heart palpitated in my chest as I heaved out a heavy sigh and edged away from the spot before it could get anywhere near me.If I was going to win this election and actually come out victorious as the winner, I had to be sharp witted. Lucas's gun was well aimed and one miscalculated error could cost me my life. I ducked over as I rolled over to the other side of the room, as my back rolled over the floor, I quickly got back on my foot and clenched my fists. “Lucky you, I still have 3 bullets Xavier. I can go on all day, let's see how many bullets you can dodge.” The sharp, gritty beam of his voice beamed into my ears as I stiffened. A sharp shot of adrenaline launched into my veins as a cold chill ran down my spine. Slowly, I muster up the courage to open my eyes and when I finally did, I heard a sound.It first sounded like a creak but later, it soon morphed i

XAVIER'S POV “Security!” A loud beam tore through the fog of tension in the room as I paused in my tracks. My lips pulled into a dark grin and my eyes darkened as I shot a glance at my assistant, Alex, who stood close to the screen, fidgeting like a winter leaf. “Have you fixed it?” I asked, my voice calm and steady as a lump of adrenaline formed in my chest. Taking in a slow whiff of air, I sigh and rolled my eyes as rage pooled into my vein.My clenched fists tightened as I maintained my stance, arms tucked around each other. Staring back at his lean figure, I waited patiently, holding onto an imaginary string of restraint as I felt my patience wear off.There wasn't much time left. I had to get this done with.“You know what? Pass it over!” I lashed out in a rising tone that had him flinch fearfully as he stretched his hands and passed the phone over to me. I received it sharply with my fingers wrapping around the structure of my phone as I heard the sound of boots stomping aga

XAVIER'S POV My heart raced in my chest as heavy gasps of air rippled through my lips. Nothing in God's green earth could have warned me of what was about to come. I clenched my fists tightly and sighed as the announcer’s gaze raked over my features. As I felt the scrutiny of his gaze brush over my features, I raised my head and stared back at him.The announcer's eyes twitched as I met his gaze. Something in his eyes warned me. I could read his emotions like pages of a book. His eyes glistened with remorse and as I took note of the glints in his eyes, I noticed something. It was dark and shaky. A glint. Before I could decipher what it really was, his eyes wavered off my figure and darted in the direction behind me.My head dropped as fatigue licked at my bones. I tried to hold it in, to ignore it but it glared right back at me. I already knew my fate. It was obvious he had been bribed or even threatened by Madame Browne and Lucas.It was already crystal clear now.In this game, I wa

XAVIER'S POV When it was time to cast the votes, I watched the shareholders all turn towards one direction. His direction. They all headed towards the board and slowly, I watched them pace towards the box for Lucas. He sat at the end of the room, his eyes glistening with contempt as Madame Browne's hands snaked around his shoulders.Her gaze loomed over my figure. I felt my heart race in my chest as the first shareholder to be called out, voted for Lucas. The voter in question walked back to his seat with his head lowered in shame. Disappointment flashed in my eyes as rage seared into my veins but I held myself back.Closing my eyes, I whispered to no one but myself, “We can do this Xavier.” I tried to believe my own words but the question that lingered in my chest was could I really do it? Madame Browne and Lucas seemed to have sealed the lips of most of the shareholders. It was obvious they had bribed some of them.I could tell.The pale look etched into the face of the others gav
