“She is at uhm”… . Adrian's mouth opened, then closed again. He searched for the right words, but they danced just out of reach, teasing him with their absence. 

“Turn on the Television”. A storm brewed behind his eyes, but his voice remained low, controlled and cold.

“Yes sir”. His assistant immediately obeyed and turned on the television.

“Calm down man”. Luca’s voice, which was far from Xander, echoed in the background.

“In the headline news today: Amanda Gold is taking the jewelry world by storm. In just a short time, the founder of GOLD by Amanda has skyrocketed to the top of the luxury jewelry industry. Her bold, elegant designs are dominating runways, red carpets, and high-end boutiques across the country.”

“Fuck”…. Lucas couldn't even comprehend how, but before he knew it the television was already broken. And Xander grabbed his hair in frustration as he kept breathing hard and looking at what he just broke. 

His chest tightened fast and sharp, like invisible hands were wrapping around his ribs, squeezing the air out of his lungs. 

“Boss, Xander”. Adrian and Lucas called at the same time, but Xander stopped them from coming close, and they did stop. This wasn't the first time he suffered from panic attacks.

Fumbling with his pockets, his fingers clumsy and slick with sweat, he found the familiar orange bottle. It rattled in his hand like a waning before he popped a pill in his hands then to his hands.

“Are you okay man”, he heard Lucas question him, and he replied with a nod and tried to stabilize himself.

It was Xanax, a medication he was prescribed to control his anxiety. This was the punishment he got for trying to kill his child as well as the mother of his child, he relieved all the memories all the time dripping in sweat and trembling.

All he wanted was to amend his ways. But Amanda seemed happy and successful. She didn't mind leaving her sick child, who asked about her mummy every day. She disappeared into thin air without a note or even a goodbye and when she finally came back, she didn't come for her child, instead she came for fame. How selfish he thought.

He was right, she had always been desperate, but that still didn't justify his actions, he wasn't thinking at that time. He just didn't want to make that same mistake he made before he met Amanda. That's what he told himself, but maybe the truth is he was trying to find a way to remove some of the guilt he felt.

He immediately grabbed his car keys as he felt much better and made his way outside.

“Where are you going, bro”. Lucas asked with the same confused expression he had had for a long time.

“To end all this”, he simply said. If only he knew it was just the beginning.

Meanwhile, at the newly launched company Gold by Amanda. Everybody cheered for Amanda after she had given her wonderful speech. She looked ever young and beautiful and her hair cascaded down, as her hips moved.

She moved away from everyone and sat alone as she admired what she had achieved. She smiled as they continued to cheer, but the applause only echoed the hollowness she’d carried for years.

“Heyy…. Amanda right?”. A red head lady with a well accentuated figure suddenly appeared in front of Amanda.

Amanda nodded, but with a bit of confusion. “It's me… we went to the same school, remember?” Emily scoffed as she spoke, you could see the jealousy burn in her eyes.

“I just wanted to say, just because you climbed a Milestone now does mean you are all that. I mean, back then you were always a simp for men and at last, I heard you got pregnant and abandoned.”

“I don't even see a ring on your finger now”. A smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth as she spoke.

Emily had never for once liked Amanda, seeing her all elegant now made her want to puke.

“Oh I remember you now Emily. Amanda said flatly. Yes, I was a simp, but I do hope you finally came out that you are gay”!!

Emily's eyes widened with disbelief, she even looked around to make sure no one heard.

“I guess not?” Amanda cocked her head to the side as she sipped her drink.

“You filthy bitch”…..

“I saw you Emily, you and Isabel huh”. Amanda smugness was second to none. 

“Gosh, I thought you had taste, but apparently you don't”. 

“Shut up… Emily silently screamed. You have no idea what you are saying”. Her eyes were now laced with desperation and somewhat pain. It was the pain of unreciprocated love.

“Sometimes it's best to let sleeping dogs lie, other times it's best to be quiet”. She said and stood up and walked towards the door to the restroom, however Amanda didn't expect to be yanked over.

She hit a hard figure and the familiar scent of cologne hit her. Even after all these years, he still smelled the same, and it's still so good. If only he wasn't part of the people who cost her pain.

Her heart was solid now, she was here to avenge her mother and make Xander feel exactly how she felt years ago.

“It was you”. His eyes moved as his thoughts started to get clear from that night.

“Surprise surprise”. Amanda moved back as she looked at the fine man in front of her, Xander couldn't keep his eyes away from her, she was so beautiful, her soft lips and voluptuous hips called him.

But he reminded himself that it was not love, he could never love her not because he wasn't attracted to her but because he lost the ability to love. All he wanted was to make things better.

“It's a good thing you are here. I had a long day thinking about how to meet up with you, Xander”.

Xander brows creased, he didn't like the way she talked, she was no longer the sweet little girl that was always by his side. The one that would do anything to ensure his happiness. There was something in her eyes. They were like frostbitten glass staring ahead, unblinking and unreadable.

“I want custody of my child”. Amanda said, with her voice and eyes devoid of warmth.

“Custody?” Xander raised an eyebrow, voice calm yet sharp and precise.

    “Don't say it like that, I didn't kill him”. Bluey playfully said while revealing a sinister smirk.“I only made sure the obstacle was out of the way”. She swirled her skirt and moved her hair gracefully. This is just the beginning. The gold empire would be hers soon. She would be so powerful, no one would be able to stand beside her in opposition.“Oh my God! Isabel was still in a state of shock. You are the best mom”. She jumped up and down like a little excited child. Something good was finally happening to her.She had no compassion. Others will feel sad when they lose their biological father, even if he was never in her life.“If I had told him that I wasn't going to let him have access to you. Then he would have been alert, and he would expose the things that we have done”.“But because you were so stubborn, you went ahead to blow everything up. You were supposed to be CEO. This was supposed to be our big step ahead”. Bluey gritted her teeth in anger.“Don't blame me, mum. You a

    “Didn't you want to get married? Get ready before I change my fucking mind”. Xander sneered and immediately turned towards the exit and left.Isabel was left standing, trying to decipher what exactly was Xander's plans. She knew he wasn't so excited about the marriage. What was he planning?In the car, there was silence between Amanda and Lucien. Lucien's face was stern, and you could clearly tell that he was angry.“Look, Lucien, I really am sorry about the other day. And I appreciate you coming here for me. I didn't expect you would defend me the way you did. Because no one had ever done that for me”. A single tear streamed down her delicate cheeks as her voice quivered.“I would do anything for you, Amanda, fuck it. I will kill for you. His voice deepened. But I need to know where I stand. I see Xander still has an impact in your life. I…. Just need to know that I am not in this alone because I fell in love with you the very first time I set my eyes on you”.“I was never interested

  • Revenge with the billionaire's secret babies.   CHAPTER 27

    Xander's chest rose and fell as he tried to steady his grip. All his composure was gone, at that moment there was fear in his eyes which was evidenced by the hurried blinking of his eyes.He had heard about what happened to Amanda when he went to the gold company to see Isabel regarding their wedding. He heard from the workers that she was arrested. At first he thought he didn't care but his heart started to race and his breath was restless. His legs started to move and in a few minutes he was at the station.But here he was like a fool in front of Amanda and Lucien. Seems he was late. She had already been saved by Lucien. That Lucien was a damn wizard, he is always there for her, something he couldn't offer.“You were late Xander. But don't worry, Isabel is just fine. But I can't say if she will be fine if she continues to pull strings”. Lucien's lips curved slightly, he was warning Xander to cut Isabel's wings or he was going to do something.Xander gritted his teeth. He wasn't here

  • Revenge with the billionaire's secret babies.   CHAPTER 26

    Lucien’s face was stern, he had just heard from Leo that his beloved had gotten into some kind of trouble. His face was composed. No twitch, no tremble, just a stillness that felt unnatural. His lips were pressed into a thin, controlled line, not a frown, not a smile, just restraint.“I…. I”. Isabel's voice cracked the moment she opened her mouth.“Yes, Mr. Lucien, her father, suddenly interrupted. I am so glad you are here. I know the kind of man you are. You might not be known here, but I have heard news about you being an honest and brutal man”. “Today must be our lucky day”. He smiled, moving forward to give a handshake.“Are you the social worker, or you have come with one”. Mr. Gold thought he was lucky, if Lucien should support him, he would surely win. But what was he doing here? Maybe he needed to do things like this to improve his professional profile.But his hand was still hanging mid-Air. Lucien wasn't paying attention to him. His eyes were cold, filled with disgust, and

    “You did this”. The embarrassment Isabel felt at that moment couldn't be measured, but let's talk about the disappointment in Mr. Gold's eyes. His lips moved up to form a scorn and his forehead formed fine wrinkled lines.“How can you do this?” She is your sister, for God's sake. Amanda scoffed, he didn't even bother to ask her whether she was responsible for it or not. He just concluded. This was what she had always faced from a young age. “Bias”. His judgments were clouded with nothing but bias when it comes to her and Isabel.“Oh my God. Like mother, like daughter”. The members of the board and invited guests whispered among themselves. Were the allegations true, I thought Mr. Gold said it was deep fake? Another person said.Humans normally anticipate bad things for other people's success, so when they actually happen, majority of the population rejoice.“Leo, go to the car and have the driver take you home”. Amanda immediately stood up as she propelled him to go as soon as possib

    “Yes, Emily, you know exactly how I like it”. Isabel cooed as she caressed her left boobs.“You are such a slut, Isa, you are a whore…. My whore”. Emily cursed with her lips lifting upwards as her pleasure was at its peak. She licked her finger, savoring into the delicious cunt. And put it back in and then pulled it out again.“Don't tease me, mily. Isabel called her by a nickname they both had for each other and mostly used in situations like this. For Isabel, it was Isa. I want you to eat my pussy please”…..“Tell me what you want”. Emily smirked. This was the only time she gets to see Isabel vulnerable.Isabel arched beneath her, her mouth parting with a moan that sounded like surrender. Her hands pulled Emily closer, craving every inch of skin, every whisper of contact. Their thighs slid against each other, bodies moving in rhythm that would forever leave memories in them. This is Isabel using her body to tell her what she wants.“Don’t stop,” Isabel breathed, her voice cracking
