“Please come out boss, this has gone on long enough,” Xavier heard Carlos say from outside the door. He would never give up. He had stuck to constantly trying to convince him to leave his man-made confinement every single day since Xavier had locked the door to his study and never unlocked it afterwards. “If you don’t leave by this evening, I’m taking drastic measures. I’ll call a carpenter to break down this door,” he said. Ok… so there was a twist. Xavier greatly admired the resilience of his bodyguard. No one else would have bothered to do what he had been doing throughout the week. No one else even had the guts to do so. Xavier looked down at his hands that had begun to lose their color. He knew without looking at the mirror that he had lost some weight. Staying inside that study was not helping matters at all. It wasn’t even helping him get over Charlotte. Hiding from the world was not his thing, it was Charlotte’s, and maybe, subconsciously that was why he did it. Mayb

There was a knock on Xavier’s door a few minutes after he went back to his office. He groaned inwardly and reluctantly muttered ‘come in’ to whoever had made it their mission to disturb his peace that afternoon. Considering the situation, he was more angry at the fact that for the last few minutes, his mind had been on one person so much that he had forgotten he was even at the office. The young male intern opened the door, walked into the office and greeted him. Xavier looked at him for a few moments. He had no idea what this intern even did at his company. “What do you want?” The young student cleared his throat. “Will Miss Charlotte be coming back soon? If she won’t, then please hire a new personal assistant. People have been sending me on so many errands and I’m really tired.” Xavier sucked in a breath. He always knew there was a reason why he didn’t like this guy but now he had one. There were many things wrong with the question his intern had asked, like how the w

“How is she?” Xavier asked Private, who he had invited into his home office. Private always came whenever his boss required his presence. In some weird way, Xavier considered him a friend even though he was too proud to admit it. “She’s fine,” he answered and reclined in his seat, showing that was all he planned to say on the matter. Xavier sighed. “You know what I mean. What is she doing these days? Where is she staying? How is she coping?” He knew the response Private would give even before he answered. “Remember you asked me not to tell you no matter how much you asked. She said she wants to move on. You promised to give her space,” he said. Xavier placed his hands on the table in defeat and shut his eyes. What had he been thinking when he made such an odd request? “It’s been almost two weeks. I’ve changed my mind. I want to know now.” “You made me swear not to tell you anything no matter how much you asked,” Private reminded him again. “Since when do you do everyt

Charlotte always had to prepare her mind days before she left the house. There was no telling which random guy on the road was actually an undercover reporter who wanted to use her to shine. One would tnink that after leaving Xavier, her life would return back to normal, but Charlotte didn't even know what normal was. Her life had never really been normal. She groaned when she looked into her empty fridge. She was tired of having strangers do her grocery shopping for her online. They always managed to get the orders wrong and the last person that had delivered to her house seemed to recognize her. If she actually wanted anything done, she would have to do it herself. How was she even supposed to move on with her life like this? It had been a whole week, yet people's interest in this case did not wane like she had hoped. How could it, when Laura had made it her life's mission to keep adding fuel to the fire? Sometimes Charlotte wondered how jobless people could be. She couldn't

It had been weeks since Charlotte left and Xavier couldn’t blame her. His life was a mess, he saw it now. It had always been but this time, it was so clear. Unable to withhold himself any longer, Xavier opened his laptop and searched his name. Several articles popped up, and just as he expected, most of them were recent and had something to do with Laura. He found the video with the most views and clicked on it. It was not an interview, but a video posted from Laura’s personal page. She was crying, and her son was right beside her, trying to stop her from shedding what he didn’t know were crocodile tears. In the video, she talked about her relationship with Xavier and how he had been emotionally distant from her after some years during their marriage. He frowned when she implied that he had been distracted by his nephew’s wife, Charlotte, even though that wasn’t what had happened at all. She talked about many other things like how he had blocked her everywhere after the divorce a

It was no surprise when less than an hour after Xavier went to play golf after days of staying cooped up at the house, the golf course was filled with several people. It was as if these people had nothing better to do than wait until news about where he was spread, just for them to go there and see him. There was so much attention being paid to him since practically everyone in the state had been waiting to hear news from him. Since he knew that would happen, he had asked Carlos to come with other bodyguards. Xavier personally hated having bodyguards, but extreme scenarios called for extreme measures. As the people watched him from a distance, no one daring to take a step closer to his direction for fear of being rough-handled by the fierce-looking guards, Xavier carried on playing his golf like nothing was happening. Since it was the day he and his other business ‘friends’ usually paid golf, they were all there with him. Xavier almost regretted choosing that day out of ot

“I’ll pay you the one hundred million right now,” Charlotte said once she was sitting across from Matt in the unpopular restaurant he had picked out for them to meet. There was no exchange of pleasantries between them, just straight to business. Charlotte started digging inside her bag for her phone to make the transfer, as she tried to hide her fear. “You can stop that now,” he said quietly. “It’s too late for any of that.” “What are you talking about…?”Matt shrugged. “I don’t want your money anymore. I’m no longer interested.” Charlotte’s lips trembled. Xavier had been right. You can never pay a blackmailer enough. As long as he still had proof, Charlotte would never be free from him no matter how much she promised or gave him.“Then what do you want?” She stared to ask. He reclined in the restaurant chair and smirked at her. “I love seeing you riled up. It turns me on.” Charlotte bit her lips so she wouldn’t say something she would regret. Of all the people who could have be

Xavier had his reservations about meeting Laura, but after seeing things from Jaden’s perspective, he was curious to get to the bottom of it. Why else would Laura want to meet him? Did she want him to invest in her brother's business? Why would anyone do something this extreme just to get him to invest? She had to know that there was no way in hell he would do that after the frustration she had put him through. No. It had to be something else. And that was what he planned to find out.After finding out this specific piece of information from his friend about Laura that would have saved him a lot of stress if he had just asked Private to run a check on her sooner, Xavier gave in and finally enlisted the help of his private detective. So far, Xavier had found out that his ex-wife was now one of the richest women in the country, had been temporarily engaged to the son of the ex-president and had kept her son hidden on purpose until recently. To say that Xavier was unimpressed would b

“It’s time for bed, Caleb. Let’s go,” Charlotte told Caleb with her arms crossed over her chest, giving him no room to argue. “Just let me win this game…” he argued absently, more focused on the game he was playing on his iPad. “You’ve spent your extra fifteen minutes,” she said, taking the device out of his grasp. He frowned, but conceded in the end. “Fine.” As Charlotte tucked him into bed, she couldn’t imagine how the times had changed. It had been six months since Laura had been taken away, her parents had been released and since she had started running her own business. Caleb had started therapy again, and it had definitely worked. These days, he spoke so often and did whatever he wanted to do that it was hard to believe he had been the same mute boy from months ago. He had just turned four, but the topic of his birth mother never came up fortunately. He seemed to blend right in, just as sweet and annoying as any other four year old boy. “I love you mommy,” he wh

When Charlotte saw Jonah being led out by a prison ward officer, she froze and started to wonder what she had been so scared about. He looked nothing like he did before. He had slimmed down to an almost unrecognizable state and his face looked like he had permanently lost the ability to smile. He walked with the slouch of someone that had given up on life in general. Charlotte doubted that whatever he was going through had happened in that prison in such a short time. “You can wait for me,” Charlotte whispered to Carlos who reluctantly left her side when he understood. “Hi,” Jonah said when he was sitting opposite her. He tried to smile, but it ended up looking like a grimace. He couldn’t meet her eyes. “Hi,” she said simply. She couldn’t let him see she pitied him. “How have you been?” He managed to ask. “You look good.” She couldn’t say the same for him. “Why did you call me here, Jonah?” “Straight to the point like always, huh?” He said with something she suspec

Xavier could only relax comfortably when they were back on the jet and on their way back to California. He could finally let himself be convinced that his dream had been nothing more than that. It hadn’t been a sign of anything, because it had gone on perfectly with no dramatic appearances from anyone. Unfortunately, the thought of one day running into Laura again came often to him and disoriented him. However, he always pushed that possibility away to the back of his mind. He had run a background check on the psych ward Don had placed her and from his research, it was a very exclusive place, so her chances of leaving were lower than zero. It was like a madhouse for wealthy people to drop off their family members who had lost it through drug use of whatever means. Their security was so prioritized that it was practically impossible to get in or get out unless the very owner of the establishment permitted. There was also no possible way Laura could bribe anyone there. It was afte

“Xavier, wake up! Wake up!” The sound of the female voice calling out to him sounded so distant at first, but the hand violently shaking his shoulders brought him back to consciousness. He was breathing fast, as his eyes got accustomed to the light around him, his chest heaving rapidly. “Are you okay?” Charlotte asked him, peering into his eyes as she touched the sides of his face. He could see the fear in her eyes as she studied him. “Charlotte,” he whispered, holding her arms and wrapping her in a tight hug. She was alive, here in front of him. “You’re alive.” “Yeah,” she said uncertainly, hugging him back. “Did anyone kill me?” She asked with a chuckle. He finally pulled out of the hug and glanced around. They were still in the jet, on their way to Orlando. He had just had a bad dream. “Where’s Caleb?” He asked. “Right here,” she said, pointing at a part of the jet where a small makeshift bed had been made for Caleb to lie on. “Is everything okay?” “Yeah,

After bidding Kate and her family goodbye, Xavier and Kate had to take the journey back, while consoling Caleb, who couldn’t understand why the twins had to leave without him. It was a Saturday, and for the first time in such a long time, Xavier had a free day. They all decided to spend the day together, to make up for Caleb’s friends leaving. Charlotte was extremely happy. She chatted and laughed all the way to the four seasons Orlando, where they decided to spend the day with their son, since he had seen a video about it online and wouldn’t shut up about going there. She held Caleb’s shoulders during takeoff in Xavier’s private jet, more to distract herself than him. No matter how often she rode in the jet, she still got jittery when they had to go anywhere in it. She had made an appointment with Dr Anna that morning and she couldn’t wait to finally carry out the surgery the week after. “Are we really going to Orlando?” Caleb asked, peering out of the window of the jet.

The ride home was mostly silent, with Xavier at the backseat, pondering on all that had happened that day while Carlos drove them home, shooting glances at his boss from time to time. “How was your break?” Xavier asked all of a sudden and Carlos cleared his throat. “Great. Thanks again for it. I really needed it,” he said with a smile. “How did it feel to have an actual conversation with her after so long?” Carlos sighed. “Not as bad as I thought. I actually feel better. Thanks for advising me to do it. We cleared some things out. She was mature about it and that’s that.” Xavier nodded and looked out the window at the trees that were zooming past. He remembered when Carlos had come to him for help when having to see Kate after the history they had was threatening to drive him insane. He had advised him to take a break, and then discuss with her when he was ready. It seemed to have worked. Carlos looked like himself again. It had been weird to find out that there had been a

“When will you come back, daddy?” Caleb’s little voice came over the phone and Xavier smiled. He could picture his son standing next to Charlotte and holding the phone to his ear with both his hands. “I’ll be there this night, I promise,” he replied. From the corner of his eye, he saw Private trying to get his attention. “Take care of mom for me, okay? I’ll see you soon.” “Bye daddy,” Caleb said and Xavier nodded before he ended the call. “What’s up?” He asked Private. “She’s causing a scene, boss. She’s yelling at everyone and she even pushed her brother and broke a glass on the doctor’s head when he tried to sedate her,” Private told him. There was an urgency in his private investigator’s voice as he reported to him, but there was also a hint of amusement in his tone. Xavier rolled his eyes and walked past him toward the ward he had left to answer his wife’s call. “Why was there glass next to her in the first place?” He asked no one in particular when he enterrés t

“My daddy used to beat my mommy before that woman took me and told she’s my real mommy,” Caleb explained the best way he could. “He told me he’s not my real daddy and that my mommy sold me to him.” “Wait, wait,” Charlotte told him. She had no idea what he was talking about and the more he spoke, the more confused she became. None of what he was saying made any sense. At this point, he was just throwing the words ‘mommy’ and ‘daddy’ around. “Laura, the woman that brought you to us, she’s your mommy, isn’t she?” She asked him slowly, hoping his answers would make sense to her this time. He shook his head. “That’s what she told me and then she brought me here after,” he said. “So you had other parents before she came?” She asked and he nodded. When Charlotte realized he wouldn’t give her an understandable answer, she decided to stop asking him so that he wouldn’t confuse her more. Since Xavier had gone out to find answers, this one might be one of them. She would ask him wh

“Mommy!” Caleb squealed when he saw Charlotte and ran up to her. She carried him up and enveloped him in a tight hug. She was still not used to him calling her ‘mommy’, but hearing it was so natural and calming. Whenever she was with him, she secretly hoped something would happen to Laura or that she would say she didn’t want him again. She didn’t think she would be able to move on if he had to leave to go back to his real mother. “Did you miss me?” She asked, tickling his tummy. “Uh huh,” he replied, laughing and trying to get her hand away from him. Charlotte kissed him on the forehead and carefully set him back on his feet. She held his small hand and allowed him to lead her into the house. She had been in a sour mood after the meeting with her parents, but just a few minutes with Caleb had softened her up. Kate looked at her and smiled. With a playful frown, she nudged Caleb and asked him why he didn’t notice her. He started to laugh. “What did you do today while we were g
