Chapter 151

Chapter 151Thick silence still blanketed the living several seconds after Rose had dropped the bombshell. They were all frozen as their brains slowly processed what they had just heard.Stella felt a huge bang ringing in her head as she clenched and unclenched her fists, gritting her teeth and clenching her jaw.'You fool! What have you done?!' she said in her head, glaring at Rose who wasn't looking at her.“I'm sorry… what?” Caleb asked, blinking. He wondered if the day held any more silly surprises for him.“Yeah, mom, what do you mean that you and uncle Xavier are now officially together?” Lilian asked, placing emphasis on officially.“I'll take it from here, my love,” Xavier said and stepped forward.My love!!!“Wait, wait,” Caleb rose from his chair. “What the hell is happening here?”“Once upon a time, your mother and I used to be lovers,”“Used to be what?”“I'll advise you don't interrupt when I'm speaking, Caleb,” Xavier warned coldly, with a smile spread acorss his lips, b

Chapter 152

Chapter 152Brian couldn't think straight anymore.His mind and thoughts were in a total disarray as he was constantly wondering why he had gotten into such a mess in the first place and made himself a puppet in Xavier's scheme.Ever since the bounty was increased, he had not even had the balls to move out of his house. He feared that someone would know what he had done. Anyone who stared in his direction for more than a second sent chills down his spine, and anyone who he saw whispering to each other seemed to be whispering about what he had done. The guilt was consuming him and greed was continually forcing him to consider Caleb's offer.The words replayed in his head, day after day: even though he had aided and abetted in Jane's disappearance and he finally decided to speak up, he would be forgiven and exenorated, kept anonymous and receive the millions! And Celeb would even ensure his safety!One million dollars! So much he could do with that!He had earlier made some calculations

Chapter 153

Chapter 153“You don't have to do this.”“We don't need to have this conversation anymore, Caleb,” Lilian snapped and threw in a some books into her trunk. She had locked herself in her room throughout the previous day, sobbing while packing up the thousands of clothes she had into bags, and still, there were many more things left to pack.“I can't even believe how calm you are right now,” Lilian sniffed, shaking her head with a bitter smile.“Trust me, I'm not.”“Then why don't you do something? Call him out, threaten him or just, I don't know… do something!” Lilian raised her arms in despair and then bit down on her lower lip while looking at him.Caleb remained in his position: leaning against her door frame with his legs crossed at the ankles and his arms folded. His forehead slightly creased and there was a downcast look on his face.“It's all just fucking crazy, you know. Uncle Xavier of all people.” She let out a bitter laugh. “I think maybe he's hypnotized Mom or something be

Chapter 154

Chapter 154Stella was furious. She had returned to the Lockwood's mansion and pleaded but Xavier didn't listen to her. This time, he threw her out with her belongings. Her rage knew no bounds as she hurled her belongings to the nearest hotel she could find. The hotel receptionist just happened to be at the receiving end of her frustrations.“Get me a room immediately!” She ordered, almost pushing the person who had just been attended to away.“Sure, ma'am,” the smiling receptionist replied, knowing fully well that Stella was just another belligerent customers who were experts at transferring their aggressions.After she was told her room number and given her keys, Stella moved to the said room with her heels clicking furiously against the marble floor and her lips moving quickly as she spat out silent curses. Her bizarre actions attracted the curious glances from the people present but none made a move to ask what the problem was.She flung her purse to the bed immediately she walked

Chapter 155

Chapter 155After what felt like an hour, Jane heard the faint sound of clicking keys and the door opened. Marcus had come to retrieve the plate that she had wiped totally clean out of hunger.“The sauce must've been really good,” Marcus said as he picked up the plate. There was a slightly disgusted look on his face and for a moment, Jane feared that she would be punished for wiping her plate too clean as well.“You're making dinner tonight. Keep that in mind,” he said and turned from her.“I'd be pleased to,” she said and noticed him pause in his steps for a second before continuing.Everyday, she thought up new ways to gain his trust, and perhaps all she needed was to continue to concede until he believed that she had no intentions of ever returning back to Caleb.“How about the medications, Marcus?” “I told you, it's…” A knock on the door interrupted his sentence. Jane's ears stood at the unexpected visit. Her sixth sense became suddenly alert and she hoped that it was the kids w

Chapter 156

Chapter 156“Are you ready for your interview now, ma'am?” Stella was in the studio of Far and Wide, one of the biggest publishing houses in the city. She knew that just one interview with them was enough to spread the word round about Xavier and Rose, and she had, of course, adequately planned for such.As she sat in front of the magazine editor, she felt a sense of deja vu. The last time she was here was to expose Caleb and Bianca and now she was back again, to expose Rose and Xavier.She smiled and flipped her hair over her shoulder.“Of course I'm ready,” she told the magazine editor.“Okay, good. If you don't mind, we'll record this,” the editor said.“Sure.”“Alright. So, Miss Stella, you said you had information concerning Xavier Lockwood and Rose Lockwood who happen to be the uncle and mother of CEO Caleb Lockwood respectively?” “I do,” Stella smiled.“Let's hear it then.”“I sincerely hate that I have to come out to the public to make this revelation but I believe it is abs

Chapter 157

Chapter 157He felt like he was in a dream that refused to come to an end.He had been descending into an empty space for hours and still he had not reached the bottom of the large dark hole.All of a sudden, he felt himself become drenched and coldness seeped through his skin pores.“Do it again,” he heard a voice say and there was another flush of coldness against his skin. With a sharp intake of breath, Brian came back to consciousness.“Hope you slept well.”Brian half opened his eyes and then squinted at the bright light that seemed to be positioned directly in front of him.“W-what?” He asked as his muddled head tried to recollect where he was and how he had gotten there.“For a moment I thought you were dead,” the voice said again.“Where am I?”“Somewhere close to hell. Why d'you ask?” He heard the chuckle of two men and then tried to open his eyes again.The light was too bright so he squinted but he could only see the backlit figure of a man seated on a chair with his legs

Chapter 158

Chapter 158Caleb ignored the many greetings from the employees as he made his way through the elevator and to the office where Xavier had now occupied as the acting CEO.It was just a few hours into the day yet he was already brimming with indignation over what he had just read in the morning papers.As he reached the outside of Xavier's new office, the secretary stood from her desk.“Good morning, sir.”“Morning,” Caleb replied without any emotion. “I need to see Xavier.”“Uh…”Caleb frowned at the apprehensive look on the secretary's face.“What is it?” Caleb snapped. He knew that he was transferring his aggression to the innocent lady but after what he had read, the slightest thing provoked him.“Mr Xavier has asked not to be disturbed for any reason,” she replied shakily and swallowed hard.Caleb sighed and clenched his jaw. He knew that the woman was fearful only because of Xavier's rigidity and high-handedness in dealing with his subordinates but he was not in the mood to wait

Chapter 159

Chapter 159“I don't know what in the world I'd do without you, Mann,” Xavier said to Mann that evening with admiration as they shared a bottle of whiskey in his car.“It has also been a pleasure to work with you, boss,” Mann replied.“I still don't know how you managed to pull that one off.”“Let's just say, perfect timing.”They clinked their glasses together and then gulped down the whisky.Xavier waited for the burning sensation to subside before speaking again. “Maybe a little too perfect,” he replied with a smile and refilled his glass.“Have you also arranged the other issue?” Xavier asked.“There's almost nothing a poor and desperate man wouldn't do for good, easy money. The man is more eager to lie than the devil as long as he gets the rest of his dough,” Mann replied.“Good, good,” a wide smile cut across Xavier's face as he noticed how perfectly the whole plan was going.“Anyway, here's the package for that idiot Marcus. If he tries to say anything stupid, show him his plac

Chapter 160

Chapter 160By the time Xavier returned to the office, his secretary informed him that some members of the press had called in to have a word with him.Xavier informed Rose of the development and assured her that there was nothing to worry about and he would take care of everything.Afterwards, he went through the names of the reporters, did a little research and then granted audience to the reporter whose news house had the highest media coverage.“Let her know that if she arrives even a minute after the arranged time, she might as well kiss this interview goodbye,” Xavier said to his secretary who then relayed the news to the reporter.As expected, the reporter had come earlier, precisely five minutes before the agreed time, and beads of perspiration lined her forehead and also settled above her lip. With the way she was breathing heavily, it was obvious that she had hurried down to the office as fast as a bolt of lightening.The interview did not take as much time as the reporter
