Weeks had passed and Lorenzo had been discharged from the hospital. Kai spent more time with his family, he came to check on his wife and son regularly. He even spent some nights in Xara's house, he hadn't yet summoned the courage to ask them to move back in with him. He needed all this mess to be over before he asked them to move in.
Now more than ever, Lorenzo was determined to find Valerie. He needed to find her and end this madness once and for all. He knew she was hiding in a town not far away from Brooklyn, NY and how she had made a living for herself. What he needed right now was an insider to monitor her footsteps and plans. He had been able to track down the assassin she hired.
Time to pay him a nice visit.
" Boss, I need a favour."
" Kenzie, what kind of favour do you want?" he asked her.
" I need men to track down a certain someone who almost killed people I've come care about," she told him. She was a mafia lawyer, a
" We meet again Kai Maximilian," Valerie curled her lip pointing a gun at Elon's head. " What do you want?" he interrogated as another masked man held Xara down. " Chill, Kai. A little payback won't hurt," she laughed like a maniac. " Why did I involve myself with you in the first place?" he blurted out. " Because I could give it to you real good. Something none of your bitches could do," she let out a dry laugh. " Yeah right," " I loved you, Kai, since high school. But you ignored me. You reported to management that I was stalking you and hurt some of the girls you went out with. Of course, I did all that. But I still loved you, so after college, I tracked you. But you didn't recognise me. I had changed. We were fine until Mabel came in, but she was a scaredy-cat so she ran off. Then you went for her, I thought she would leave as her sister did. She didn't. You chose her over m---- " Oh come on, you're boring us with your pity
Epilogue. " So you mean you're part of the Mafia?" Lorenzo asked as they walked along the streets. The street lights laminated their paths as they took a stroll. " Of course, I am their lawyer...a Mafia lawyer," she explained. " Okay, that explains the men you came along with to help us out." " Yeah," she answered. " For how long have you been a Mafia lawyer?" he couldn't help but ask. " After law school, when my dad died. I had no choice but to take over because I was my father's successor that's why he sent me to law school in the first place. At first, I didn't want to be a part of it but I had no choice when he threatened to disown me. I had nowhere to go or to start from so I obeyed him and after he died I became their lawyer. I was sceptical at first but when time went on, I got used to it and decided to stay." she explained. " I see," he answered. Lorenzo and Kenzie headed over to her plac
Xara lay on her worn-out mattress, staring at the ceiling, waiting for the day of her cursed marriage. She had tried several times to change her parent's minds, but to no avail. She didn't want this kind of life for herself. She wanted to graduate, find a job, find true love and then settle down with the man of her dreams. She was a beauty to behold.I guess that ain't happening anytime soon. She thought to herself. Why hadn't she run off, just like her sister Mabel did? She just didn't have the guts to do so. She had always put her family before another thing, and this is what it had landed her into. “Maybe it won't be that bad; at least I get to continue my education and mom and dad live a better life." She tried to convince herself. She heard a knock on her door as her best friend, Alianna entered. “Bad time?" She asked her. “Does it matter anymore?" She sighed as her friend sat beside her. Alianna came from a well-to-do family. She lived in Park Slope, one of the richest neig
Xara woke up and headed to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth before heading out to the kitchen in her nightwear.“Good morning, Ma—I mean, Ms. Xara." Amanda greeted Xara, making her chuckle.“Good morning, Amanda, How was your night?" She replied. “It was fine, and what of yours? She asked, waiting for a reply, when a beautiful young woman walked into the kitchen wearing sexy night wear. Xara didn’t bother asking who she was and where she came from because she already knew the answer. It was obvious her husband preferred being with a whore rather than his wife on their wedding night. How wonderful!“My breakfast!" She said rudely . Xara looked on and shook her head at her behavior. She was about to take a bite from her food when the lady pulled the plate that was served to Xara and began eating just to rile her up, and it was working.“Excuse me?!." She yelled. “What?! Peasant." The woman smirked, knowing she had struck a nerve. “ You know I am Kai’s wife, right?
Two months into her marriage, she hadn't heard from her parents, not her sister. Her husband had travelled out for a business trip; she thought she might get some freedom, but she was wrong; he had made sure his staff and P.A. watched her every move like a hawk.The only things that kept her sane were school, Penny, and Alianna. Penny and Alianna got along so well and she was glad for that. “Xara, you zoned out again?" Penny said pausing the movie that they were watching.“I'm fine." She tried convincing her. “No, you aren't; your mind is somewhere else." She pressed. “It's just that two months ago I was a struggling poor student, but yet I had my freedom to do anything, but now that I married a rich man, I am regretting every bit of it. This is not how I pictured my happy ever after." She cried out. “It's going to be fine, " Alianna said, standing at the doorway. “Could this get any worse than it already is?" She whispered. “You know, I hate to see you like this," Alianna said
Xara expressed her joy every time she left that terrible place to go to school, mentioning this to Penny and Alianna as they accompanied her to her car. They were planning to have a meal together before heading to their next class. It had been several weeks since they last heard from Kai, and she was concerned about him, although she didn't express her worry. He posted on F******k and I*******m to let everyone know that he was okay, and his personal assistant also confirmed that he was doing well. However, she couldn't help but wonder why he never called her to see if she was okay. "Xara, are you okay?" Penny snapped Xara out of her daydream. "I'm doing well," she said with a smile. "Hey, your phone has been ringing non-stop for a couple of minutes." She gave a mischievous smile to her friend, who quickly grabbed her phone to see who was calling. The caller ID on her phone displayed a simple "Unknown" tag, piquing Xara's curiosity. As the car sped away, Xara pres
“Hi, beautiful, where's my wife?" Kai asked as he walked past Xara. She had listened to her friend's advice and gotten a makeover. She cut her long boring dark brown hair to shoulder length and had gotten light brown highlights in her hair. She had also discarded her dull, boring and unattractive clothes for sexier ones. “ Welcome home, Mr Maximilian," Xara spoke out making his jaw drop.“X-Xara?" He called shocked as she smiled at him. “ You had a makeover?" He asked happily for a while. "I hope you're not dressing sexy for any other man, because whatever you do, you'll always be poor, boring Xara Wilson and nothing more." He stormed away. "WHAT EVER DID I DO TO YOU?" She screamed after him as he came to a halt, staring at her sobbing on the floor. "You agreed to marry me; you could have declined, but you married me anyway, knowing full well that I don't love you." He responded softly. "Do you think I had a choice?" She laughed. "Perhaps I should have run away like Mabel, mayb
Kai's attitude towards Xara came back to normal after a couple of days. Even though he didn't hit her, the verbal abuse was so much that she wished she could run away and seek shelter in another city. But she didn't have the guts to do so. She was worried about her mom and what her dad would say or do to her if he found out that she had run away. Mabel, wherever you are, please come and get your man. I can't stand this torture anymore.She cried to herself. She was tired of having hands pointed at her all the time. She was tired of being blamed for no fault of hers. She was tired of being treated like a piece of trash. “Why do you hate me so so much?!" She burst out to her husband. “What did I ever do to deserve this cruel treatment?" She further added. “I never begged to marry you, so why all this?" She sobbed harder until she was out of breathing while kneeling down. Kai noticed she was having a hard time breathing. He

" Xara, Elon...move!" Lorenzo got there just in time to take the bullet for them. " Aaah!" Xara gripped Elon's hand as a crowd gathered around them. The bullet hit Lorenzo's right arm, getting to his chest. He lay in a pool of blood as Xara stood frozen, she felt blood trickle down her legs. " Call an ambulance please," Lorenzo called out in pain. Elon held onto his mother's legs crying and terrified at the scene that just unfolded in front of them. The paramedics gently put Lorenzo onto the stretcher and helped Xara into the ambulance as well as Elon as they were rushed to the hospital. " Next time, don't miss the target., Valerie said into the assassin's AirPods " Got it, boss," the masked man responded blending into the crowd after he fled from the scene. Kai's phone loudly can't as he rubbed his eyes abruptly waking up from his nap. " What?" he groggily answered. " They're what?! I'd
AJ lay in Valerie's bed fast asleep. She sat up smoking a cigarette lost in thought. He's not a bad company. I could hang around him for a while before discarding him, besides he's got the dough. Isn't that what everyone wants? She chuckled. She stole another glance at him. He slept peacefully as if he had no care in this world. No troubles, no nothing. He slept like a newborn babe. Valerie wore her robe and descended the stairs to the kitchen. Her tummy was rumbling and she decided to fix breakfast for both of them since he was already here. She finished with their breakfast an
"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there." Valerie apologized bumping into a handsome young man. He looked sophisticated. " It's fine, don't worry about it..." he trailed off. Her hand bent over to pick up the clutch she intentionally dropped when she bumped into him. " That's fine, I would see you around then." she turned around to go. She began to count in her head 1..2...and 3. "Excuse me," the man called her back. Works like magic, she said to herself walking towards him. " Umm, you called." she bit down her lips seductively. " Yeah, here's my card. Call me when you get to your destination. I'd love for us to have dinner, to get to know ourselves better." he stared at her cleavage. " I'd love to Sir," she responded. " Call me Ajax...AJ for short," he told her. " Alright AJ, I'm Valerie...and it was nice meeting you.
“ Valerie, what else do you want from him? You made it out of jail, made money, and you're living an obedient life. What at all do you need again?” Well, the caller asked. “ Oh, I don't need anything from him but a small payback,” she smirked. “ Payback for what? Haven't you done enough already? Haven't you caused adequate harm to him and his family… What do you want?” the caller said in frustration. “ Payback they say is a…bitch. The scumbag made me rot in that vile following cell. He humiliated me in front of everyone. For now, I'm just focusing on making else money, waiting for my jailbreak saga to die down, and then I strike when he least expects it.” she laughed hysterically. “ You're one nut job…” ******** “ Mr. Ken Wilson, 55 years of age, father of two.

Lina and Lana rang the doorbell again waiting for an answer. It had been long they last saw their brother and his wife. The last time they saw him was at his wedding. " Surprise, surprise," Lina said as Penny got the door. "Oh my...come on in. It's been a while we saw you girls." Penny said as they walked in. " Thanks, you have a beautiful home by the way." Lana complimented. " Thanks, please have a seat and what do I get you?" she inquired. " Anything you have at home." they both answered at the same time. " Just a minute," Penny said as she hurried into the kitchen to get them something to eat. Ah, right timing. " Babe," Penny answered her phone. " Hey, sweetheart... how's your day going?" Lyle asked his wife. " It's going great, Lina and Lana are here by the way," she told him. Oh, really?" he raised his brow. " Yeah," she answered setting two glasses and a bottle of win
" Home sweet home!" she laughed out loud. She had gotten her mansion within 3 months. How she did that, its a mystery. " Xara and her husband can wait, for now, I want to go back prepared for Kai. For now, it's living the good life for me." she sat on the plush couch. " Living this kind of life It's a good life Such a sweet life You know I'd like Livin' this kind of life It's a good life Such a sweet life You know I'd like Livin' this kind of life It's a good life Such a sweet life I'd like Livin' this kind of life It's a good life Such a sweet life You know I'd like Livin' this kind of life...." she rejoiced. ********** It had been three mont
