Amber was busy working on her laptop, but she could feel Xavier's eyes on her, but she tried to ignore it despite the fact that it made her feel uncomfortable."Why the hell is he staring at me!!" She mentally screamed.Meanwhile, no matter how hard Xavier tried to keep his eyes away, he just can't stop staring at her, her beauty was mesmerizing and the way she worked on her laptop, every single thing she does entice him greatly. If only he knew how uncomfortable he was making her feel, then he would stop staring at her.Amber shut her eyes briefly and she heaved a deep breath, she just can't continue letting him stare at her like that.She turned to face him, putting on a small smile. "Do you need anything Sir?" She asked, jolting Xavier out of his thoughts."No, I don't." Xavier cleared his throat loudly. "I'm sorry." He apologized, knowing she must have noticed him staring at her."It's alright Sir." Amber lied, nothing was in fact all right, all she wanted to do was get the hell o
When Xavier got to the office, he couldn't find Amber there.He walked to his table thinking she might have gone to use the rest room or something, but he was surprised to see a note on his table. He picked it up and opened it.It was a note from Amber."I'm so sorry Sir, something urgent came up and I had to leave early, you were in a meeting and I didn't want to bother you, I'm deeply sorry Sir."Xavier dropped the note, then he took a sit. A deep frown appeared on his face as he wondered what could possibly have happened.Meanwhile, Amber rushed back home the moment she got a call from Sophia informing her that Elena was running a temperature."Elena!" Amber called as she ran inside, breathing heavily."Elena. Sophia!""Upstairs." Sophia yelled.Amber ran upstairs to the kids room, when she got in, she met the Jenna and Jaden sitting at each side of Elena, while Sophia sat on a chair watching them."What happened?" She asked as she went to join them on the bed.She used her palm to
The car pulled up in front of Xavier's mansion and he got down, he took a deep breath as he stood outside staring at the mansion, he's been avoiding his parents for sometime now and that's been making him stay at the hotel instead of his home, but how long will he run.He took in a deep breath before going inside, knowing his mother is bound to bombard him with different questions.When Xavier got in, he heard loud chattering and laughter, he went to living room and saw his mother and father talking to young beautiful lady.Xavier furrowed his brow as he wondered who the lady was.His mother caught sight of him and she smiled. "Speak of the devil and he shall appear." She laughed.Xavier literally scoffed when he heard that.His mother stood up and went to meet him. "So. Are you done running?" She asked. Xavier frowned."What do you mean?""Haven't you been avoiding us? Isn't that the reason you haven't been coming home, rather you've been staying at the hotel.""How did..." Xavier tr
"Get out of my room this instant!" He snapped but Jessica didn't look like she was going to do that."Xavier, why are you doing this?" She asked and tried to touch him again but he refused and moved back."If you like yourself and wouldn't want to turn into an object of mockery, get the hell out of this room. Don't let me take action on you." He snapped.A seductive smile appeared on her lips. She was really taking his words for a joke and it was driving him insane. If only this lady knew what he could do to her. If only she knew that Just a flick of his finger and everything would be over for her.Jessica wasn't ready to back down or relent on what she wanted. She knew how fucking rich this guy standing before her was and losing him would be like losing a prized possession; something worth more than gold and she wasn't cut out for that."I'd like to see the kind of action you'd take on me, Xavier. Come on, you aren't supposed to act this way. It's making you look like a kid."Xavier'
"Stop panicking, Amber. I'm sure he isn't going to reason that far." Sophia told Amber when she complained about Xavier hearing when Jenna called her mum."Sophia, you do not understand. I'm sure he heard her correctly and that's why I'm worried. I don't want him to find out about these children." Amber exhaled, trying to calm herself down."I'm sure he isn't going to ask about it. And if eventually he does, you could tell him that it's your neighbor's child or something like that." Sophia suggested.Amber reasoned the idea and realized it was a good one. "You're right, Sophia. That's exactly what I'm going to do," She said."Good. Now calm down before you end up giving yourself a heart attack." Sophia joked and Amber laughed."Yes, you're right," She sighed. She thanked God that Sophia came up with that great idea, else what could she have told him if he had asked about the children. She couldn't even imagine how she would feel if everything eventually leaked. That would mean an end
"What do you mean Sir? You can't possibly be serious or are you?" Amber asked.Xavier shrugged. "I love kids a lot and I'll love to meet them and besides, we're also going to the orphanage to visit some kids aren't we?"Amber felt like the ground should just open up so she can crawl into it, she scratched the back of her head nervously, trying to come up with the perfect lie. She couldn't tell what demon possessed Xavier and made him want to see her kids. God forbid! This can't happen."Amber." Xavier called, pulling her out of her thoughts."Err...you can't see them Sir.""Why not?""School!!" She half yelled, startling Xavier."I'm sorry...what I meant to say is, they'll be at school so you can't meet them.""I have no problem with that, it's not like they're going to stay there forever right." He chuckled. "We can pick them up together and I can use that opportunity to see them."Amber was already wishing she was a witch with powers, how wonderful it would be to make Xavier forget
When Amber went back to the office, she couldn't find Xavier there, she frowned as she wondered where he could have gone to, but on a second thought, she thought of it to be a good thing, at least she'll get some breathing space and a nice fresh air.She smiled as she walked back to her sit, she began working on her laptop and a mail suddenly came in. She squinted her eyes as she checked the mail.It was a mail for Xavier, a business partner was inviting him to his company's 50th anniversary."Well, he's really got a long day." She said as she closed the mail and continued with what she was doing.Xavier suddenly walked in and he stood still for a while watching Amber, she looks so beautiful as she worked on her laptop. He studied her carefully, the way she handled things and he admired every single bit of it, he didn't even know when a smile appeared on his lips.Amber suddenly took notice of his presence and she looked up at him, she frowned when she saw the way he was looking at he
"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
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
