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
Amber couldn't believe her ears when she heard Xavier saying he was going to go shopping for Jenna, there's no way he can be this nice to a kid he just met. Does he know the truth?They were currently standing in front of a mall. Xavier told her to lead the way as he doesn't know anything about female shopping.Amber was still shaken to respond let alone move. She recollected herself and stepped into the mall.The minute she stepped into the mall with Xavier, all eyes followed their movements. She had to remind herself that Xavier was a popular billionaire and she shouldn't even be seen beside him…He was way out of her league.She tried to go to a secluded section away from the public's eye but luck wasn't on her side as a mall attendant approached them. Just great.The mall attendant greeted Xavier without acknowledging her presence. Ouch. "What can I do for you sir?" She said flashing her best smile towards Xavier, her face would've cracked. Xavier looked towards Amber and the mall
Chapter 25 Xavier came home afterwards, he had a long day and all he needed at that moment was a good rest. He parked his car safely in the garage and entered the mansion. He was surprised to see his parents in the living room staring at him as he entered, they looked like they were in the middle of a serious discussion before he arrived. He acknowledged them and proceeded towards the staircase hoping silently they would ignore his presence. "Where have you been, Xavier? You were not at the office" A cold voice asked from behind. Xavier halted in his steps. He knew too well who the voice belonged to, he turned around "I was out father" He did not think telling his parents about his every whereabouts was an appropriate thing to do at his age. "Why did you drop by at the office?" Ever since his dad handed the company over to him, he never visited the company again so this came as a shock. "Nothing, just wanted to see how it has been all these years or can't I?" His father thought
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold immediately, the employees at De Vil's Enterprises could feel it even from a mile away. What just happened?Everyone's eyes traveled towards the entrance at once. The big boss was here but that wasn't even the problem, he walked with an air of authority and ignored anyone who greeted him, he wasn't smiling. Everyone feared the worst. They have only ever seen him like this five years ago and those times weren't funny.Everyone watched his movements as he took long strides towards the marketing department and shut the door hard. They heaved a sigh of relief, at least he wasn't coming for them.Murmurs soon filled the room, each person speculating what must have gone wrong to make their boss mad."I bet they didn't handle their job well….they are being paid the highest anyway…."No, I think they leak
Xavier was still troubled by the matter, the main culprit hasn't made an appearance yet, he was starting to doubt if his plan would actually work out or not. The company lost a lot of money, if this is revealed to the public, the De Vil Entreprises won't be trusted anymore, the remaining shareholders will withdraw their own shares in fear of it getting stolen and the company will go down the drain. If he doesn't find out who was actually behind this, all what his father and he had worked hard for to build the company and make it flourish will be in vain. He can't let that happen.A knock on his door distracted him from his thoughts. He was currently at the office, he came in earlier than usual."Come in", he looked towards Amber's seat and wondered why she hasn't arrived yet. Hector opened the door slightly, he didn't want to overstep his boundaries especially when his boss was bound to get mad at any mistake so he stayed by the door and delivered his message."Sir, one of the company
Xavier raised his brow at her,"You do?". Amber smiled and nodded," Yes sir". She was really confident her plan was going to work. Xavier hummed," Let's hear it then". Amber faced him and began demonstrating with her hands, she felt like she was in a criminal case and they were attempting to capture the criminal, a silly thought but she didn't care. "Okay so they basically used a recording against you right?" Xavier nodded."Why don't we switch it up a little bit and use their sly method on them" Xavier got a hint on where she was headed. "So, in simple terms I'll get Mr herewith to admit that he actually was the main person behind this and capture his voice in a recording without him suspecting a thing".Amber nodded, " Exactly so you find a time to meet him make sure no one is around, then act like you know he was behind this all along and force him to admit and given his personality he would love to rub it in your face and admit to it and probably tell you there's nothing you can do
Mr Rogers also intended to tell him that they shouldn't just jump into conclusions as Xander hadn't provided any proof to justify the claims of Mr herewith but his line got disconnected pretty fast, he tried calling Dante back a few more times but his calls didn't go through. What went wrong?Dante on the other hand couldn't believe his ears, he had toiled days and nights throughout his youthful days to make sure the company was a success and didn't flop. As he advanced in age he decided to hand the company over to his son because he trusted in Xavier's potential at that time. Hence why he couldn't believe what Mr Rogers told him."What happened?" Nicole asked, she had been trying to get Dante to speak to her for the past few minutes but he plainly ignored her. Dante finally noticed her and yelled, "Your son has done the worst! A million dollars is missing from the company Nicole, that's more than all the company
He sincerely hope his mum will give up the idea of getting him together with Charlotte. He only sees her as a friend. Now that he was standing fully in front of her, Charlotte took the time to take in his appearance. He grew a few inches since she last saw him, his jet black hair was messy in a way, his tan skin standing out, with muscles bulging out, he looked way too hot in the sweatpant and shirt. Charlotte have always had a crush on Xavier but she didn't reveal it because she was scared of getting rejected. Like him, she also had her pride anyways. When he got engaged five years ago, she was furious, she thought he would end the relationship with his ex just like he has always done but she was shocked on hearing about the news about his engagement instead of his breakup. Thankfully, it didn't push through and she still had a chance now. Her mum informed her about Xavier not being married yet after all these years, then she knew she could not let this opportunity slip by her. Now
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
