LOGINBack at the presidential suite, the atmosphere was completely different because the girls had already decided that they would accompany Xander home after Xander told them he was going home.At first, Xander had tried to convince them that there was no need for them to come, but none of them were willing to listen.“You don’t have to come with me,” he told them.But Vivian immediately shook her head and replied firmly, “Of course we are coming, because after everything that has happened, we are not going to let you see uncle and aunty alone.”Alexa nodded her head in agreement and added with a small smile, “Exactly. Do you really think we are going to sit here and allow you to go home alone after being dead for months?”Xander looked at both women before sighing and said. “I wasn’t planning to walk in there alone.” Saying this, he stared at Micheal and Maxwell who both chuckled. Seeing this, Vivian laughed softly before adding, “Besides, I want to see the look on their faces when they
At Nathan’s house, Claire paced restlessly around the bedroom with her phone tightly clutched in her hand as she checked the screen for what felt like the hundredth time. The room was quiet as Nathan had gone to work, but there was nothing peaceful about the silence surrounding her because her mind was filled with questions she desperately needed answers to. She had been waiting for a message or a call from Derek since last night, yet there had been absolutely nothing from him.She stopped beside the bed and stared at her phone again, but there was still nothing. “Where are you, Derek?” she muttered under her breath as her frustration became more obvious with every passing second.Just then, she took her phone from the bed and unlocked the phone and opened their conversation, only to see the long list of unanswered messages and missed calls she had already sent. Her jaw tightened as she scrolled through them, wondering why he had not even bothered to respond to one.“This is getting
Meanwhile, outside on the balcony of the presidential suite, Xander, Michael, and Maxwell made sure the door was firmly closed before they began their discussion.Xander leaned against the railing while Michael and Maxwell stood nearby.“Alright,” Xander said calmly. “Let’s talk about Derek. We need to decide what we are going to do with him now that he’s in our hands.”Hearing this, Maxwell folded his arms and said, “He won’t be going anywhere unless we allow him to. So we have enough time to figure out what comes next.”Xander’s expression hardened slightly as he muttered with a clenched fist, “I don’t intend to let him walk away after what he did to Viola.”“I know,” Michael replied. “But we also need to think carefully about how we handle this”. “Oh, and there is also Claire.” Maxwell said. At the mention of her name, Xander’s eyes narrowed as he chuckled and said. “She must be panicking by now.”Michael gave a small laugh and said, “Of course she is. She still hasn’t heard anyt
An hour later, they were finally done with breakfast, and the dishes had also been cleared away by the ladies. So right now, they remained in the suite, and were making small talks among themselves when suddenly, Xander glanced at Viola and said in a soft and calm voice, “Baby, I need to discuss something with the guys.”Although his voice was not loud, everyone clearly heard him.At the same time, Michael and Maxwell were not surprised by his words because they already knew there were important things they needed to discuss, especially concerning Derek and the waiter who was still in their custody. They needed to decide what they were going to do with both of them and how they would get the answers they needed.So Viola looked at Xander for a moment before smiling and nodding her head as she said, “Alright, you can go ahead. I will be fine here.”Hearing this, Xander gave her a small nod, but he still asked, “Are you sure?”Viola smiled reassuringly and replied to him. “Yes, I’m sur
Watching all of this, Michael leaned toward Maxwell and whispered, “I think we should stop before she completely disappears into his chest.”Groaning softly, Viola said, “I can still hear you.”Michael laughed and apologized.“Sorry.”With that, Alexa stood up and walked closer to the bed before smiling at Viola as she said, “Alright Vi. We will stop teasing you.”Viola slowly lifted her head, but she still avoided looking directly at everyone as she muttered, “ I hope you keep to your words”. “Yes my babe”. Alexa said and chuckled.Just as the room began to settle down, a loud growling sound suddenly came from Viola’s stomach, making them all go silent. Meanwhile, as soon as Viola heard the sound coming from her stomach, she froze, while Xander looked down at her.“Oh, looks like someone is so hungry”. Vivian laughed and said as she quickly reached for the bags of food on the table.So without any delay, she began taking the food out of the bags and arranging everything on the table
Although the room remained quiet for a few moments, they were still talking among themselves. Minutes later, Viola slowly moved in Xander’s arms, her brows drawing together slightly as she tried to wake up. She shifted her head against his chest before finally opening her eyes.For a few seconds, she remained still, not fully aware of what was happening around her. Then after some seconds, she heard a familiar voice, making her confused. “Good morning, sleepyhead,” Alexa said with a mischievous smile.Viola blinked her eyes several times before slowly lifting her head and the moment her eyes landed on Alexa, Vivian, Michael, and Maxwell sitting nearby, her expression immediately changed.She stared at them and stared back at her, which made her widened her eyes as the realization slowly came to her.Right now, she knew they had all been watching her.She immediately looked down at herself and then glanced at Xander, finally remembering that she had been sleeping comfortably in his a
After eating, Viola pushed her chair back and calmly stood up immediately.“I’m going to my study room,” she said softly and added. “I need to look through some designs.” She said because some department heads have started sending their designs, and she needs to go through them.As she said this,
Collapsing on the bed, the three girls lay side by side for a moment and breathed out tiredly.Then, almost at the same time, they all smiled and grinned happily.The room finally looked neat and arranged.“Finally…” Viola muttered with a satisfied smile as she looked around.When they arrived earl
Saying this, the room fell silent again, but they already knew who Xander was so they were not that surprised. Right now, they only pity Clair and her lover because her good days are finally coming to an end.The room was quiet for a while before Xander laughed softly and said, "Alright, enough of
Maxwell soon came out of the bathroom, fully dressed and was drying his hair with a towel.When he was done, he dropped the towel on the chair and walked closer to the bed as he looked at Xander who was lying back comfortably with his eyes half closed. Then suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, w
