“Can I see my son?" Kai rudely demanded as she answered his video call.
She put the camera in front of Elon as he made baby giggles.
“Hey, baby, how you doing?" Kai asked as he giggled the more.
“So your plan is to keep my baby from me? While you go whoreing around?" he said. Xara placed the phone on the bed as he faced the ceiling.
“I don't whore and I'm not keeping him away. I couldn't leave my three-month-old with you in that house while different women waltz in and out. I'm sorry Kai Maximilian, that wasn't going to happen." she boldly declared shocking him.
“Ah, and the peasant suddenly grew wings, what a pity." he scoffed.
“My parents weren't rich like yours and that doesn't give you the right to call me a peasant, husband. I tolerated that before but not anymore. If you would excuse me I've got work to do. Would you like to say goodbye to your son?" she asked.
He didn't answer for a while, she checked to see that h
" Ma please, enough of the ranting and raving, you wanted her out in the first place and now she's gone what changed?" he asked. “ It's different now, she's a multi-millionaire and CEO to one of the companies belonging to one of the business tycoons in town, and also the mother of your child, the heir to your company," she stressed. “ Haha, what makes you think she would accept me? She's different now mom, she's made a name for herself and you want her to come back to the man who never treated her right? Think twice mom, think twice." he added on frustrated. “ It doesn't hurt to try, son. What if she still loves you? Drop that ego and apologise to her." she pats him on the shoulder and walked out. “Babe, babe!" his arm candy of the week shook him awake. “What is it?" he asked rubbing his eyes. So it was a dream after all? “What's for breakfast, I'm starving?" the barbie doll supermod
“Just a minute!" Xara said as she hurried down the staircase with Elon in her arms to check who was at the door. Her maids hadn't yet arrived for duty. “Surprise!" Penny, Alianna, Neo, Lorenzo and Lyle yelled holding a cake and some gifts. “You guys didn't have to," she added on surprised, trying to calm a screaming Elon down. “Come on in." she ushered them in locking the door. The girls set the cake and other gifts in the kitchen as they joined the guys in the living room. “I forgot today was my birthday, thanks, guys." she appreciated. “It's no big deal, we got you." Penny smiled. “ Hey, baby," Alianna cooed as she took Elon from Xara. She rushed upstairs to have a quick shower and dress up. The maids resumed their duties shortly after Xara went up. Elon's nanny took him to bathe him and dress him up as well. They prepared breakfast for Xara and her friends. “ Ma'am, he's ready for his meal now." the nanny broug
“ Is that not--- “ Kai, are you watching the news?" Gerald said as soon as he answered the call. “ You just woke me up, Gerald," he rubbed sleep off his eyes. “ Good check the news, like now," he ordered him to. “ Okay," he turned on the television. He saw his wife holding Elon in an interview. The headlines read " Xara Maximillian, the CEO to Hopkins and Co, Miami, FL branch." “ No, that, that can't be her." Kai found himself saying. “ That is your wife Kai, it's Xara," Gerald said. “ So Mrs Maximillian did your husband get you this job? If yes why did he offer you a spot in his company?" the host asked. " For years, I've always been known as 'the peasant wife' and not recognized as his wife, buy others and him as well. This opportunity was offered to me by one of my best friends, Alianna Hopkins. She spoke to her dad on my behalf. At first, when I stepped in here, I was Ms Chloe's assistant and six months later, I'm C
“ Hey, beautiful." A man walked towards Aisha and gave her a peck on the lips. She had been able to lose weight, through exercise and the words of encouragement from Lorenzo. Lorenzo sat rooted to his chair watching on. His expression was that of pain, anger, jealousy and hurt. He had asked her out and she blatantly refused, with the excuse that she wasn't ready to date again due to past experiences and hate comments from her exes, and now she was dating another man. “Lorenzo, meet my---- “Save it, Aisha!" he fumed walking out of the restaurant in pain. “Is he okay?" the man asked a confused Aisha. “ I'm as shocked as you are babe," she said as he sat on the seat Lorenzo occupied. Lorenzo slightly hit his head on the steering wheel repeatedly. Why were some women this way? that's why good guys don't want to help them anymore You be there for them through thick and thin
" Mom?" Kai was shocked to see Aurora in his office. " I'm good son, what about you?" she asked sarcastically. " Enough of the sarcasm, what do you want?" he demanded. “ To see my grandbaby." she dropped. How did she know of his son? “ Shocked?" she smirked. “ He ain't here Ma, you can't see him," he told her. " I know," she said crossing her legs. " Then what do you want?" he sighed exasperatedly. " You gotta make peace with her Kai, reunite your family." she voiced out. “ If I am getting you right, you want me to go apologise to the peasant and bring her home because she started making peanuts?" he proudly asked. “ FYI, she's not making peanuts, she's one of the fast-rising CEO's making millions and she's not a peasant, son." Aurora put. “ This seems like a Deja-vu." he tried to recollect. “ It ain't no Deja whatever it's real life, wake up and smell the coffee," she st
Penny stood beside Lyle as the procession for his father's burial took place. It had been the two of them since he could remember. His mom eloped with a younger man, and unfortunately for her, they had an accident and died on the spot. His father was devastated but for him, he could care less. She had gotten what she deserved. He dropped flowers into the grave where his father's casket was being lowered into the ground. "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground since from it you were taken; for dust, you are and to dust, you will return.” the priest said as the casket reached the ground. He picked up a handful of sand and threw it in the grave, after which sand was being thrown to cover up the casket. Penny squeezed Lyle's shoulder for support as he wiped the tears off his face. What a cruel world we are in! " Wanna grab something to eat?" Penny asked as they headed to the car. “ Yeah, some
You did a great job for your friend, you know," Neo said stroking her hair as she lay her head on his lap. "Xara has been a great friend over the years. She was the only one who genuinely had my back way since middle school." Alianna recalled. " Didn't you have any friends back then?" he inquired. " You see..." she began her story. " Mom and Dad were rarely at home. They were so busy with work, they barely had time for me. It was always me and my nanny, my friends at that time only came to visit or sleepover because of what they would get. They never wanted me to come to their houses. I had a feeling that they used to host sleepovers at their houses without inviting me, but I didn't mind. So far as they were close to me, I was fine. But, their attitude began to change after some time, they began seizing my purse to take my money for whatever they liked. Bullying me into giving them money. I always dreaded going to school because o
Xara walked into the building with her head held up high. She heard murmurs here and there but she didn't mind what people were saying about her no more. She was her own person now and it was time they braced that fact. She nodded to greetings from some of them and kept a smile on her face. I'll bet they don't know I'm their boss now. " There you are, iI thought you were gonna be late." Alianna hugged her best friend. "Come on Ali, you know I don't do late." she winked at her. "Alright mama, come on let's introduce you to your people." she winked as they entered the conference hall. The employees gathered around and watched her speak from their common hall. Some of them were shocked to know she was their vice president, others were just plain jealous and those who loved her were happy for her. " Now, let me take you to your executive office, Miss Vice P." Alianna teased. "Gladly," they laughed as they headed to X
