Chapter 31

Angela The cold floor became my companion for heavens knows how long. Everything was as it was when the drama started. The stuff from the supermarket lay close to the foot of the sofa, and my phone was in the same place that Natasha left it. The only thing that shifted is the leftover wine that Natasha left behind. I drank straight from the bottle, hoping to get drunk and forget what just happened a few hours ago.Yes, It’s over three hours since Natasha broke my heart with this news. I’ve spent the past three hours hating Xavier, thinking of possible ways to murder him. Amanda returned with McKenzie two hours ago, but I sent them over to Daniel’s to spend the night. I do not want my daughter to overhear the ugly words I’m going to throw at Xavier, I do not want her to see me or hear me cuss my soul out.Lifting the wine bottle, I tried to take another gulp but nothing came out. Peering into it, I discovered that the bottle is now empty. Staggering to my feet, I went in search of a

Chapter 32

Xavier Staring at the five incompetent fools, I was tempted to pull the trigger and end their useless lives. How can I pay them so well yet they find it difficult to carry out the simple task assigned to them? How difficult is keeping watch over Angela and my daughter so situations like Natasha doesn’t come close to them?Two men were assigned to Kenz, and the other three fools were assigned to Angela. Owen, Wyatt, and Chase avoided my eyes. They are the exact people my anger is directed towards. “What were you folks doing when Natasha walked through her front door?”“We’re sorry bossman,” Owen spoke up on behalf of others. “The instruction was that we keep her safe, and that was what we did. We trailed her to the office, to the supermarket then we followed her home. We didn’t know Natasha got into the house.”“You didn’t know?” My palm twitched. “You didn’t know Natasha was in the house?” Unable to keep it in, I struck his jaw, hard enough to draw out blood. Owen swallowed his blood

Chapter 33

Angela Daniel has been coming over more frequently. Although he refused to move back in, that doesn’t prevent him from checking up on me every day. I didn’t tell him the reason for my fight with Xavier, but I just told him that I ended things with him. Despite being surprised by the news, Daniel tried to be there for me without being judgmental in any way or form.I took one week of sick leave from the office. My brain isn’t stable enough to handle any important responsibilities right now, so I believe it’s wise if I keep my ass off the company’s building.Feeling a scrutinizing gaze on me, I lifted my eyes from the ice cream up and stared at Daniel’s curious eyes. “Do I have something on my face?” He’s making me uncomfortable with his unblinking gaze. “Daniel? Why are you staring at me like that?”“Aren’t you going to tell me?” I cocked my head to the right. “You and Xavier.” My eyes revisited the ice cream cup. “I know I said I wasn’t going to pry, but I can’t help but be curious.

Chapter 34

Angela This is a twist in the drama that I most definitely did not see coming. Staring at Xavier and the young man he introduced as Mr. Miller, I wondered if this is another trick or perhaps a ploy to deceive me further. Who knows, maybe they want me dead this time.“How are you so sure that my father was murdered by his wife Vera?” They never loved me, and I understand their reasons for hating me. They felt threatened but why kill Derek? He didn’t do anything wrong to them.”“Derek spoke to me about finding you and bringing you home,” Xavier explained. “He spoke about it to me and Vera, then he spoke about adjusting his will.” I didn’t realize Xavier was that close to my father. “I bet that she feared he wanted to change the will because he was bringing you home, so she poisoned him before he was able to either bring you home or change his will.”Why is my family filled with so many conspiracies? Why couldn’t it be a normal family like every other home? “What you just said is your m

XavierThe press and the media aren’t people you should mess with. Once on your case, they have the power to pull you up or bring you down. Either way, they can either favor you, or destroy you. In my many years of business, I’ve avoided them like a plague. I pay the necessary people so they don’t publish shit about me but I can’t say the same for my father.He paid the people he considered important, then left the petty hungry bloggers to write reports and shit about him.My case is different though. I pay the major newspaper and magazine house then instill fears in the life of the petty ones. Those who decide to go astray by going ahead to say shit about my means of livelihood or sending the press and cops my way, I make an example out of them. It’s that simple.But today, today is very different from my usual self. One of the ways to shake Natasha’s table is by hounding her ass with the press. Already, the press has been after her ass, asking questions about her recent marriage to

Chapter 36

AngelaI spent two weeks, reading through those files that Xavier gave to me. Things have changed in the past four years, starting from the staff down to the management and shareholders, but grasping them all wasn’t difficult. All it needed was concentration and dedication. I was once part of the management body in that company, so I understand the company more than most people, most people like Natasha.Today, I make my first appearance in the public ever since my return to New York. Today is also my first day at S.H Fashions. I can’t wait to see Natasha’s reaction when I walk into that company with every right to be there.Opting for my old look, I curled my hair, the curls not too wild. The white dress and white shoes made me feel like I’m ready to conquer everything. Picking up my nude handbag, I walked out of the room. I was quite surprised when Xavier granted my request to have separate rooms.First, I made a stop at Mckenzie’s room to kiss her good morning, but I found her room

Chapter 37

AngelaXavier dropped me off at the office with five of his men, two of which remained in the car and the other three followed me into the building.Stepping into the building, some old staff who are still working with us greeted me, while the new ones wondered what I’m doing here. Ignoring them, I walked into the elevator that took me straight to the last floor. Adam, Sly, and Henry stood behind me with poker faces. “Did you order the pieces of furniture?” I’m sure Natasha already disposed of all my office furniture which is why I need new ones.“Yes ma’am,” Sly responded. “They are on their way. Should be here in about thirty minutes.”Muttering a thank you, I tightened my hold on the strap of my purse as the elevator pinged. The door opened and I stood face to face with a shocked Natasha who seem to be waiting for the lift too. Smiling widely, I stepped out of the elevator. “Good morning big sis.”Confused, Natasha blinked at me. “What are you doing here?” She stared at the three

Chapter 38

XavierLucas walked into my office with Oliver and another young lad. He looks so uncomfortable being in the same room with us, but then everybody who knows about us doesn’t want to work with us.Staring at the boy, I wondered how such a little kid can do such. “What’s your name lad?” I already know his name, where he lives, who his parents are, and what college he is attending. I ask them these personal questions just to unnerve them and make them feel that sharing their personal information is an agreement that I should come after them if they mess up.“Kyle.” He muttered. I could barely hear him.“Use your voice lad,” I ordered in a calm tone. I need his head leveled before he gets into work. Scaring him before he starts working isn’t necessary. When it’s necessary is after he’s done working.“My name is Kyle.” He said a little louder, although his voice sounded squeaky, no doubt from the fear of standing before me. “But my friends call me K.”Getting bold now, are we? “I do not ca

Chapter 39

NatashaI need to see Xavier! I need to have a long chat with him. He needs to explain why he’s suddenly coming after me. I understand the fact that he’s infatuated with Angela but then that doesn’t excuse him from coming after me. I gave him my fucking hotels! Five damn hotels! If he’s going to come after me, then he has to return them! He can’t be paid for a job and still turn around to be my enemy. A nice peaceful chat is what I’m aiming for, but if he doesn’t retreat, then I’ll have to involve Martinez. I did not dedicate my whole life to an old man for nothing.Snatching my purse off the table, I headed straight for Xavier’s club. While we were still married, Xavier spent most of his time there. Some say it’s his most cherished business which is why he spends most of his time and dedication there.Freddie and Alfie fell into line the moment I stepped out of my office. I strolled past Angela’s office but stopped right outside it. I wondered if she was in there. If I had known she

Chapter 40

AngelaWe were halfway through the meeting when Natasha rushed into the conference room. She looked around like a manic, her accusing eyes zeroing in on every board member in the room. “Does anybody want to explain why there is a meeting, going on in my company without my knowledge?”Everybody began to murmur and being the lovely business partner and representative of the board, I stood to my feet and approached Natasha. “Didn’t your secretary call you?”“I was an hour's drive away from the company.” She hissed through clenched teeth. “Couldn’t you all have that patience until I arrive before you start selling me off?”Selling her off? Does she think that’s what this meeting is about? “Nobody is selling you off sister. As a matter of fact,” I gestured towards the board members. “I was actually singing praises to your name. I told them how you’ll be a wonderful CEO.” Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. “You don’t believe me? Fine. I’ll let your secretary brief you on the meeting before we
