"Ha, Mr Xavier." Mr Herewith called with a bright smile on seeing Xavier."Mr Herewith." Xavier said, and both men shook hands."Welcome, and thank you for honoring my invitation, I'm pleased.""It's nothing Mr Herewith, thank you for the invitation.""Come, let me introduce you to my beautiful wife." Mr Herewith said with pride."Sure." Xavier said.Both men went to where Mrs Herewith stood, discussing with some other ladies.The party was done in a grand style, and from the outfits of the people here, you could easily tell they were all influential people, men and women of high caliber."Excuse me ladies." Mr Herewith smiled, and the ladies turned to focus their attention on him, but the moment they saw Xavier , they couldn't help but shamelessly drool over him, even Mrs Herewith wasn't left out, she couldn't control herself, despite the fact that she was married."Hmmm." Mr Herewith cleared his throat, snapping them out of their thoughts, he couldn't believe his wife was also drool
Cassandra could not contain her joy as she led Xavier into her room. She entered first and Xavier leaned on the door frame with his hands folded across his chest. He was always right about these ladies. They were no longer decent women in the world and he hated that fact."Aren't you going to come in, Mr. Xavier?" She asked, not wanting him to lean on her door frame.Xavier said nothing and stepped inside. She walked up to him and started drawing invisible circles on his chest. "I knew my charms wouldn't spare you, Mr. Xavier. It spares no one." She praised herself but Xavier only rolled his eyes at her.She was about to kiss him when he gently pushed her away. Cassandra didn't know why he did that and smiled at him warmly. "What's the problem?" She asked."I'll take my leave now." He answered and turned to leave but she held his hand."No, you can't leave yet. We haven't had our fun yet." She protested, still holding his hand.Xavier felt like yanking her hands away from him in a man
"Hurry up, kids! You don't want to be late!" Amber yelled from the kitchen as the kids struggled to put themselves in place before she got out. Sophia had to go to work early that day and wouldn't be able to help her take the kids to school. She would have to do it by herself that day, meaning she was going to be a bit late to work.When she was done, she rushed out of the kitchen with their lunch bags and checked them out to see if any other thing was in place before stepping out."Mummy, isn't Aunt Sophia going to take us to school today?" Jenna asked."Yes but she's busy at work right now. She might come take you tomorrow," Amber smiled as she led them outside. She headed for the car, opened the door and allowed the kids to enter before closing it.She entered the driver's seat and took a seat then sighed before zooming off. She watched how the kids chatted and played at the back of the car. It brought a smile to her face. They were the treasures God gave her and she had no choice
"Oh shit!" Amber muttered.Xavier had this angry look on his face, but he wasn't angry at all, he hates it when his workers come to work late, he literally doesn't tolerate lateness, but with her it's different, he finds it hard to get mad at her and he doesn't even know why."I'm really sorry Sir, I had to take my ki..." Amber trailed as she suddenly realize what she was about to say.Shoot!Xavier furrowed his brow as he wondered why she stopped, he knew she was about to say her kids, but then she suddenly stopped and it only means that she was hiding something."I mean, I had to take the kids to school, their parents went on a business trip, so I had to take them to school. I'm sorry Sir, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again." She bowed.Xavier sighed, he was so curious about her personal life but he knew asking her would be pointless as she's not going to give him any answers."That's alright, but get ready, we'll be leaving soon.""Leaving? Where to Sir?" She asked."Kingston p
Amber stood outside her kids classroom as she watched Xavier play with the kids, she couldn't stop praying that he wouldn't notice the striking resemblance he had with the kids.He was so free with all the kids and she knew he was going to be a great dad, he didn't even mind the fact that they would get his nice outfit stained due to the color on their hands."Why don't you tell us a story." One of the kids yelled."Hmm." Xavier pretends to think about this.When the kids saw this they all began pleading with him to tell them a nice story.Xavier laughed so hard before agreeing to their demands. "Alright kids, if you want me to tell you a story, then we should all take a sit."The kids screamed in delight before going to their respective seats.Xavier also took a sit, then he cleared his throat, he thought about what story he should tell the kids and when an idea came to his mind, he smiled."A long time ago in an age so far beyond our own, there lived a prince and a peasant. Their na
Amber thought it was childish hiding from Xavier but she just couldn't face him right now, not when her mind is all over the place. She was so caught up in her thoughts, she didn't realize herself bumping into someone."Ouch"A female voice complained. Amber scolded herself inwardly for not concentrating. She decided to apologize. "I'm so sorry, I really didn't see you coming."The lady looked up. Amber guessed she was one of the teachers considering her outfit "It's okay, are you okay ma'am?"Amber quickly nodded "Yeah sure, I am, I just wasn't concentrating at that moment". She made a move to continue walking, but the lady didn't budge. Amber looked up to see the lady furrowing her brows as if trying to recall something.Amber raised her brow at her expressing her confusion. The lady finally spoke," Are you the mother of the triplets? Jaden, Jenna and Elena?""Yes I am", Amber quickly responded. She didn't want Xavier overhearing the conversation, besides he was about to go in sear
The ride to the office was in complete awkward silence as Amber and Xavier arrived at the office shortly after. Amber was really grateful he didn't ask her any more questions or she might have just spilled the truth unknowingly.Amber was the first to leave the car as if she was on a hot seat. She wasted no time before entering the office forgetting about Xavier.Xavier on the other hand was confused by her actions. Did he say or do something wrong?He brushed off the thought and came to the conclusion that she might be rushing to check if he had any appointments while they were away.Xavier entered his office and was surprised at who he saw. His Mum. She was scrutinizing Amber from head to toe with her sharp gaze. The last thing he wanted was to make Amber feel uncomfortable by his Mother.He sat behind his desk, "What brings you here mum?"His mum never comes with good news and she was always nagging. He loved his mum but she tends to step overboard sometimes, that's what he doesn't
Damian wondered why Amber kept on ignoring him after their last conversation in his office. She wouldn't even look him in the eye. Normally he wouldn't be bothered by this but the thought of her being angry with him didn't sit well with him and he couldn't explain why."It's almost time for your dinner date Sir, aren't you going home?" Amber called out from behind her desk. She couldn't even figure out why she was annoyed with the idea of Xavier meeting with Charlotte. Maybe it's because of what Breanna told her earlier that they were childhood sweethearts and he loves her, well if he really loved her that much why would he find solace in a bar five years ago? Why not run to Charlotte instead? Xavier could hear the distaste in her voice when she said that. He checked his time and saw there was still 5 hours before the party. Why was she so worked up?Amber felt if she stayed there a bit longer in the same space as him with her thoughts all over the place, she might say or ask someth
The next stop was Blessed Orphanage. Xavier knew the children must have missed him,he missed them too. He didn't really understand why he had fallen in love with kids so much. Maybe it was because he ended up being the only child after his younger sister died at four. He became sad immediately he remembered and Amber who was also sitting at the back seat noticed when his countenance changed. Amber wondered what Xavier would be thinking that got him looking really sad.She wasn't really comfortable whenever he looked this way and decided to ask. "Is something wrong Xavier?", Amber asked softly as she touched his arm.When he looked at her Amber was shocked to see tears in his house. She didn't even realize what she was doing until she did it. Guess it was an impulse because she hugged him. "It's okay",She cooed softly. Xavier rested more in the embrace. His tears spilled
Xavier got to work really early and few minutes later Amber came in."Good morning sir",Amber said smiling sweetly at Xavier who couldn't help himself but smiled back.'`Good morning Amber,truat you had a goodnight rest?''Xavier said and asked."Yes sir,I did", Amber replied. Amber had seriously been wondering when she woke up this morning preparing her children for school how today was going to be like in the office with Xavier because of that dinner night.She ended up early in the office and that happened because Mrs Jones helped to take the children to school. She really was a lifesaver. "What's our schedule going to be like today sir?",Amber asked as she carried her notepad to jot down all he wanted to say. "Okay firstly we are going to your kids school -",He was about to continue when he got stopped by Amber's wide eyed que
"Mum!"Elena screamed as she swung higher up in the sky. They were all at a children's park. Amber felt the kids had been held up at home far too long and decided to let them have fun. She was smiling at them as they were playing and interacting so well with other children. She decided to get some ice cream for her children. While she was buying if from a nearby stand a tinted black car drove in and some men in black came down. Immediately Amber turned to go give her children the ice creams, she turned white when she saw that the men had entered the park and were moving around.She got so scared she didn't even realize that she had dropped the ice cream cones and was running down to her children. "Jaden!Jenna!Elena!,come here quick!"She was practically screaming and the children were even shocked and ran to their mum immediately wondering what was wrong. She hugged them very close immediately they got to choking them. She was indeed behaving like a mother hen prote
"How could you Charlotte?!",Mrs O'Neill was practically shouting her brains out. The video had gone viral by now and her parents had even gotten to know about it. Charlotte was almost in tears now.she had practically rushed back home so she could do something about the video or call one editor she knew and hacker only to meet her mum mad as hell. "Mum I just got mad because I saw that stupid girl with Xavier", Charlotte said practically sobbing now."Is that why you had to act inappropriately now of all times?"Mrs O'Neill asked, giving her daughter an absurd look. She didn't understand this girl most of the time. She acted like a child throwing tantrums and it got her wondering if she pampered her way too much and had gotten the parental guide all wrong. "Mum, I am sorry", Charlotte said and another part of her was just plotting out a possible revenge on Amber
Charlotte had been so excited about prom and was even more excited because of who her date was. It was no other person than Xavier, in fact,she thought she was going to be dateless because no one had dared to ask her out. She was really beautiful and being beautiful wasn't the reason why no one had asked her out,the boys were all just too scared of her. That's all.She really didn't know the reason why though but she believed it had been because of Xavier. Everyone knew they were best friends and their parents were really close so she believed she boys just assumed that maybe they were dating. Charlotte sighed, because she on the other hand never tried to correct them off that mindset because she had always had a crush on Xavier and had thought or should she say believed that Xavier also would have the same feelings also towards her. This was the very reason she got overly excited when Xavier had asked her out and he also had come to take her from her house to the prom. T
Xavier woke up feeling very happy and he knew that today was going to be a great day. He could already feel it. He had been in his parents house and he was happy that he hadn't been hearing anything about marriage or Charlotte from there lately. It was as though they are just trying their best to keep the end of their bargain. He sighed and told himself to let not to let such thoughts leave so they don't end up spoiling his good day. Xavier went downstairs and was surprised that everywhere was bustling with activities, it got him wondering what the occasion was for because no one had told him about any event happening in their house. He knew it had to be his mum's preparations ; he just had to look for her to get updated on what was happening. He started going around searching for her and when he was sure that she wasn't in the house he stepped outside to look for her. He saw her in the garden instructing people how to gather some roses into the vases laid out on
Charlotte was burning with so much rage and jealousy in fact the main reason she agreed to this outing is so as to remove Xavier especially Amber out of her head.What did the universe now had to do? Being the two people out of the same restaurant she was trying to find Solace."Aaargh!"Charlotte screamed as she threw a glass out of nowhere. Thank God no one had been passing the area because the glass shattered and it's pieces flew everywhere. Her friends gasped. They didn't know what to say infact it was best to leave Charlotte alone when she's in such foul mood. A cleaner came in almost immediately to clean the pieces of glasses everywhere and in few minutes there were some guards escorting her and friends out of Gemstone. Such attitude were not permitted no matter who you were. It was a strict policy and was followed strictly also in the establishment. "I will make her pay for this embarrassment", Charlotte said,her friend's shuddered they could literally feel the hate waves
Amber looked at him and for a while she just enjoyed the view he gave when laughing. Xavier was indeed a God creation.She thought to herself. They began to eat and they both started with rice,Coleslaw and Chicken. After that they both entered the large croaker that was part of the special menu. The juice was also used to wash the food down. There were some slices of different fruits in a bowl. Xavier started putting some fruits in his mouth and Amber followed suit. They were really enjoying themselves. When Amber checked the time and saw it was a few minutes to 9pm she was really surprised that both of them had almost cleaned the plates that were placed before them initially."We really ate everything",Amber said with a look of disbelief as she looked at the table that had been packed with food a few minutes ago. Xavier just continued sipping from his glass of wine quietly as he watched Amber. They both were filled. Amber felt she wouldn't be able to move. Although ther
Amber looked at her daughter in awe of her wisdom. She knew she had to give her children answers and had to also carefully choose her words. "Well, yes mummy is going out with Uncle Xavier and as for your question Jenna I am not so sure about that yet", She said hoping to convince them. "Hmmm, I would love it if uncle Xavier is our daddy", Elena said and Amber was shocked when she saw Jenna actually nodded in affirmation although if you hadn't really looked at her well, you would have missed the fact that she nodded in agreement to her sister's words. Amber looked at Jaden. He had been quiet all through the conversation,as though he was just observing and cooking things up in his head. "What do you have to say Jaden?"Amber asked, already tired of her son's silence. "Well I don't know, I think I do like Mr Xavier but I don't want anyone taking you away from us",Jaden said finally. Amber just looked at her children and tears filled up her eyes.She was indeed blessed
