171 - Back at last

(Karis's pov) "Please tighten your seat belts and make sure you have everything in place. We will be landing soon in." The pilot's baritone voice echoed through the intercom of the first-class area of the plane.My little troublemaker beamed a smile and then stared at the window excitedly; she had the brightest smile ever as her grey eyes sparkled on hearing the pilot's words. "We are finally here." Valeria giggled, glancing at the beautiful city visible below us from the plane. I could not believe I was finally back after almost five years. Valeria was excited to visit the place I had my childhood in and begged me to bring her along on this trip which I was wary of. It was better to be safe than sorry and the last thing I wanted was her running into Xander. Anyone with eyes at first glance would know she was his daughter. Which was annoying. I carried her for almost nine months in my stomach, and she chose to look like that bastard. "Compose yourself, or I will se

172 - Cheating Bastard

(Karis's pov) It would be a fat lie if I claim I am not affected by the news of Xander's engagement but the greater shock was the fact he had a child with Emma. ' Karis, stop thinking about him; he isn't worth it.' I reminded myself, but it was easier said than done. The car arrived at the location and I proceeded to inspect the preparations. The entire time, it was hard to concentrate for obvious reasons. Everyone where I went, whispers and murmurs of Xander could be heard. "He is so cute and looks exactly like his father. Only Xander can have a son as cute as Vance." I heard one of the hotel staff chimed. She and one other room service staff were taking the same elevator as me. I was heading out of the hotel to head home since I was done with her work. I didn't want to stay longer because I was done with hearing about Xander and his son Vance. "Yeah, he is even a pianist at the age of 5." The other one said which made Karis frown. If the boy was five it m

173 - Engagement Rings

(Karis's pov) Valeria was having fun at Skyler's mum's home so she asked to spend the night over since I would be busy the entire evening. I was hesitant, but Skyler assured me his mum was cool, and he was the one I trusted more than everyone in the world. The night was lit, and opulent figures from all over the world related to the fashion industry were there. Anyone who was someone in the world of fashion attended the winter show. . Although unfortunately it was yet to snow the weather forecast predicted a light snowstorm that night. I was part of the organizing committee. Fortunately, I didn't take part in the red carpet event, but I was informed of everyone. Up till now, there was no sign of Xander De Marco. I didn't know why I was bothered by that because I was meant to not give a damn about him. "So far, everything is going perfectly well; the paparazzi are more organized than last year." I heard the head of security inform me from the intercom. "Alright keep me pos

174 - Past Bestie

(Karis's pov) Shock turned to amusement as I heard the craziest thing ever. I wondered how Emma would react if she found out that I was Madam Esmeralda. It was hard to hold back my laughter, and intimately, I burst into a loud laugh. I laughed so hard my eyes got teary, which left Emma puzzled. After laughing to my heart's content, I took some breaths to calm myself down. "You want me to design a set of matching couples’ rings," I answered in a fake French accent to make it difficult for Emma to recognize my voice. "Yes, is there anything wrong with it, you are a top world-class designer? Aren't you?" She asked me, puzzled by my behaviour, but this was just too amusing for me. "There is nothing wrong; as you said, I am a top designer, meaning that I just don't randomly pick up jobs. Unfortunately, I am not free to meet your request, and neither do I care how rich your husband is." I rejected it outrightly. It was not like I ever planned on accepting it from the

175 - face slapping

(Karis's pov) My heartfelt reunion with Betty was cut short when Lavender ran into the small cabinet room. She was stunned that I was holding Betty's hands and crying but quickly composed herself. "Madam, we have a problem. One of the models was assaulted by a guest that came backstage, and they are in a cat and dog fight." She informed me. I felt a headache coming as I grabbed my shades and rushed out. I even forgot to ask who the guest was; this was the first time I was hosting such an important event, and I could not afford to make any mistakes. Luckily, my make-up was waterproof, so crying didn't ruin it. I could already hear the fight from ahead and rush faster. On reaching the fight, I was quickly pissed off, the model was fighting with the supposed guest, and no one dared to stop them because she was Xander De Marco's fiancee. Filled with fury, I dashed into the middle of the mess to pull them apart; that model was among the ones for Bertha's runway, and

176 - Couldn't make it for the winter show

(Xander's pov) I have been looking forward to attending the winter show because I wanted to know who this Madam Esmeralda was attempting to go head-on with me. Her guts were impressive, and I was more intrigued by her. Today, after a lot of deliberations, the announcement about Emma being by fiancee was made. Mum was right; Vance deserved to have his rights as the family heir and could not be deprived of them because of his mother. Although I still refused to disclose who Vance's mother was. Emma didn't deserve the title. The marriage between me and Emma would be one of convenience; she was free to use the De Marco name while Vance got a legitimate stand and nothing more. After the wedding, Emma would stay in another property of mine because I don't think I would be able to stand staying in the same house as a woman who had been violently and emotionally abusing her son. I took a last look at my Italian designer suit; it was tailor-made and one of its kind. See

177 - Father meets daughter

(Xander's Pov) It turned out I was worried for nothing; by the next morning, I stopped by the hospital before going to work, and Vance was doing fine. Kyle said he had a very good immune system that fought the flu virus quickly. He would be discharged in a couple of days after they were sure he was perfectly fine. "I scored a new top score," he excitedly showed me his top score on the game he was playing on his tablet. I had an amused smile seeing how happy he was. Maybe Vance inherited my gaming skills. "Congrats but you still haven't beat my score. " I teased him, making him pout. His expression was hilarious. "What a touching father and son moment! I feel like crying." Someone teased from the door and I didn't need to look behind to recognize the son of a bitch. Vance's eyes sparkled on seeing him. "Uncle Ivan." He excitedly said to my red-haired friend. Ivan had visited me a couple of times since I took Vance in and as hard as it was to accept it, my so

178 - look alikes

(Xander's pov) The shock was what was evident in my eyes. It was such a large coincidence but not completely strange. I do hear stories of doppelgangers, and if Angel was a boy, she would have an uncanny resemblance to Vance. She ran towards Vance's side, leaving the crowd where she was playing. I quickly understood the reason they were friends; they had a strong passion for classical music. "Xavier," she chimed again, getting to his side. "Stop calling me Xavier. Only Nonna calls me that, my name is Vance." He corrected her with a straight face. The little girl pursed her lips together and she tried to pronounce his name."Vance." She mumbled. "Your name is weird." She said which Vance didn't like. "Yours is weirder, Angel." It seemed like they wanted to fight, and just moments ago, they were excited about seeing each other. "My name is not Angel. My mum and daddy Sky just love calling me their angel. My name is Valeria, and it rhymes with Vance." She replied in a childish

179 - See her everywhere

(Xander's pov) Three days later went by, and Vance was cleared to be discharged from the hospital. Since the first day at the park, Vance and Valeria played every day there. They played together and Valeria loved showing off her violin skills. . There was a restaurant close to the park, so we had our lunch there every day, and honestly, Valeria was a lovable but tricky girl. It was nice to see Vance make a new friend, and I didn't mind accompanying him during my lunch break. Her presence helped Vance improve his shyness, and he started acting more lively, way better than how he was the first time he moved in with me. "Daddy, I asked Valeria to register with me in a duet competition required for pianist and violinist." He excitedly informed me while Kyle was giving him a last check-up before he could be discharged. "That sounds nice, but her parents would have to give their permission before she can attend," I replied to Vance. For the entire 5 days,

180 - Crashing his engagement party

(Karis's pov) The winter ball was a success, and I was expecting a lawsuit from Xander or something, but it never came. So far things have been going well. I just had to stay longer until the entire Reynolds group was in my control. Something even came to my attention from Valeria's nanny. She said my angel made a new friend. I was glad she was enjoying her stay here. I twirled around in front of the mirror to make sure I was looking dashing enough to steal their breaths. I was not wearing my signature green dress for today's event because today was special, and I planned to steal the crowd. Standing in front of the full-length mirror, my eyes gazed upon my reflection in a floor-length red dinner gown. It was a sleeveless off-shoulder gown with a deep vee line in the back, a long slit on the left that ran from my thighs. I wore black lacy pantyhose because the goal for tonight was to crash a party and steal the limelight like a true villainess. Because now Kar
