All Chapters of Dirty Secrets : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

XavierAngela insisted on sharing a room with McKenzie, and I believe the reason for such a decision is to keep me out. I find her decision rather annoying and the same time amusing. Staying in a different room from McKenzie is not going to make me force myself on her nor is staying in the same room with McKenzie going to stop me from making a move.She’s attracted to me, and the only reason I’ve not seduced her to my bed is that I want her to be the one coming to me. I will not be blamed for anything nor do I want her to refer to our time together as a mistake.Flipping the pancakes, I hurried to get breakfast fixed before my girls make an appearance. When Angela introduced me to McKenzie as someone special and close to the family, I felt my heart melt. I’d give anything to hear her call me dad but Angela pleaded with me to take things slow with her.Baby steps she said. She wants McKenzie to grow on me without being forced into it. I get her point though, but that doesn’t stop me fr

Angela Ever since the kiss in the gym house, Xavier has been all touchy. He tries to touch me at any given opportunity. On the dining table, he places his hand periodically, his fingers deliberately brushing mine, In the kitchen, while preparing breakfast or dinner, he walks in sneakily to give me a back hug, whenever I’m putting McKenzie to sleep, he’s always beside me, his hand either across my shoulder or hanging on my waist.Despite having tried to push him away anytime he makes little body contact, I can’t deny that I love his warmth, that his attention is welcoming, and that I wish things weren’t so complicated with us. Mrs. Jackson called me a few minutes ago to inform me that I’ve been promoted. She also tells me that I should remain at home and sketch up more designs for Mr. Ellmord. I was shocked at first but I told her that I won’t be able to sketch much due to the wound on my arm.Although it’s almost healed, I cannot concentrate enough to sketch some designs due to the t

AngelaXavier sure knows how to make a lady fall for him. The regular pick up after work, the constant lunch delivery, the daily flower, and chocolate delivery, and also how he has taken fatherhood seriously.I commend his efforts towards McKenzie, which is why I’ve decided to let her know that he’s her father. A perfect dinner with the three of us tonight, hosted by me will be the perfect place to inform McKenzie who Xavier is to her.Today is Saturday, my work-free day. Relaxing on the sofa, I occasionally kept an eye on McKenzie who is busy with the set of art books that Xavier delivered yesterday. My phone pinged, taking my attention away from the blue eyes girl.Clicking on the message icon, my lips stretched into a smile as I read the message him, Xavier.:- What are you doing aside from thinking about me? I have something delivered outside your door. Wear it tonight. Ever since I bought the dress three years ago, I’ve been visualizing you in that cloth.Smiling like an idiot, I

Angela We never understand the kind of pain one carries until we know them. I nearly went crazy when I lost papa, which makes me wonder how Xavier felt when he lost both his parents. Maybe that is what shaped him into the man that he is today.Curious about the news of his parent's death, I turned on my laptop, opened the chrome browser, and typed in ‘Mr. and Mrs. Ellmord.’ A picture of them with little Xavier popped up. I found myself smiling at how cute he looked. Scrolling down further, I read the article on their death.Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Ellmord were reported dead in the early hours of today 15th September 2017. It was reported that they died in a car crash that sent their car ablaze, burning the couple beyond recognition. It was stated by his son Xavier Ellmord that they were on their to London to celebrate their wedding anniversary.The death of the couple has left a mixed reaction from the people. Either way, we pray that they find peace wherever they are.The part where it

Angela Xavier has been gone for two weeks, but he never fails to FaceTime every night. He spends half of the time talking with McKenzie, and the other half talking to me or trying to put me to sleep. It’s okay to say that I’m slowly getting addicted to red wine. I can’t sleep without taking a glass but then it’s nothing serious; just a glass.Daniel however has taken it upon himself to avoid me at all cost. He comes to see McKenzie when I’m still at work, then leaves before I return. I only find out about his visiting through Mckenzie’s nanny and sometimes through McKenzie.I’ve called and texted and called but he doesn’t return any of them. I also went as far as visiting him at his place, but he ignores my knocks. On one of the unfortunate visits, I went to try my luck by going over to his place, his mum answered the door instead. I remember pleading with her to help me talk to Daniel, but instead, she spat annoying words at me, calling me a selfish bitch and stressing the fact that
