Dirty Secrets Chapter 20
AngelaDaniel is going to hate me. I know it… I can feel it. He’s against the whole closeness with Xavier because he feels it may lead to something else, but then if you think about it, I’m not doing anything wrong. Not that I want anything to do with Xavier or that I’m planning anything, but the young man is about to get divorced, so I’m doing nothing wrong with him.Xavier stopped the car outside my building. He tried to get down from the car, but I stopped him. “You don’t have to walk me to the door. I’ll go get my stuff together with McKenzie.” If he steps into the house, Daniel is going to lose his cool.Skeptical, he eyed my bandaged arm. “Are you sure you can get into the house on your own?” He looked at the house in question. “I promise not to cause any trouble.”Xavier is the very definition of trouble, but I kept the words to myself. “I got shot on my arm, not on my legs. I can get into the house without breathing my last.” He did not find the joke funny at all. I placed
Dirty Secrets Chapter 21
XavierAngela insisted on sharing a room with McKenzie, and I believe the reason for such a decision is to keep me out. I find her decision rather annoying and the same time amusing. Staying in a different room from McKenzie is not going to make me force myself on her nor is staying in the same room with McKenzie going to stop me from making a move.She’s attracted to me, and the only reason I’ve not seduced her to my bed is that I want her to be the one coming to me. I will not be blamed for anything nor do I want her to refer to our time together as a mistake.Flipping the pancakes, I hurried to get breakfast fixed before my girls make an appearance. When Angela introduced me to McKenzie as someone special and close to the family, I felt my heart melt. I’d give anything to hear her call me dad but Angela pleaded with me to take things slow with her.Baby steps she said. She wants McKenzie to grow on me without being forced into it. I get her point though, but that doesn’t stop me fr

XavierThe whole penthouse was calm when I emerged from the library. Neither Angela nor McKenzie was seen anywhere around. I made a pit stop at the kitchen, but they weren’t there either. The plates used for breakfast have already been washed, and the dining table cleared. Plodding up the stairs, I walked straight to the room and knocked on the door. I heard shuffles at the other end before the door opened and Angela peered out through the slightly ajar door. “Hey.” She smiled tightly at me. “Is everything okay?”Someone knocked at the door earlier. It’s either her or my men. “Did you knock on the door to the library earlier? I heard someone knock.”“Oh… yes…hmm..” she cleared her throat, her eyes dancing around as if scared to meet mine. “McKenzie was asking about the ice cream promise you made, so I came to ask you if you’re still up to it but I guess you were busy.”The fact that she’s avoiding looking at me frustrated me. “You can look at me Angela, I don’t bite.” Her eyes never

Angela Ever since the kiss in the gym house, Xavier has been all touchy. He tries to touch me at any given opportunity. On the dining table, he places his hand periodically, his fingers deliberately brushing mine, In the kitchen, while preparing breakfast or dinner, he walks in sneakily to give me a back hug, whenever I’m putting McKenzie to sleep, he’s always beside me, his hand either across my shoulder or hanging on my waist.Despite having tried to push him away anytime he makes little body contact, I can’t deny that I love his warmth, that his attention is welcoming, and that I wish things weren’t so complicated with us. Mrs. Jackson called me a few minutes ago to inform me that I’ve been promoted. She also tells me that I should remain at home and sketch up more designs for Mr. Ellmord. I was shocked at first but I told her that I won’t be able to sketch much due to the wound on my arm.Although it’s almost healed, I cannot concentrate enough to sketch some designs due to the t

XavierReturning to New York to be investigated on a murder case that I know nothing about didn’t sit well with me at all, which is why I’m so proud of Lucas right now for how he handled things. Celine works for us, so whoever killed her will have to face us not the police. We take laws into our hands and personally, I believe in the ideology of an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.“He wasn’t forced into it right?” Forcing someone who isn’t my enemy to go down for a crime he didn’t commit isn’t my forte, which is why I need to know. I watched Olivier from a distance. “No boss man. He wasn’t forced to do shit. As a matter of fact, the young man was happy to go to jail. He didn’t mind making that sacrifice for his family.” Half a million dollars is enough money to change a man’s life. “He wasn’t hesitant in any way boss man.”“Good.” He’s looking at a possible life sentence, I don’t need a whining man who will begin to spill shit later. “Remember to keep an eye on him in prison thro

AngelaXavier sure knows how to make a lady fall for him. The regular pick up after work, the constant lunch delivery, the daily flower, and chocolate delivery, and also how he has taken fatherhood seriously.I commend his efforts towards McKenzie, which is why I’ve decided to let her know that he’s her father. A perfect dinner with the three of us tonight, hosted by me will be the perfect place to inform McKenzie who Xavier is to her.Today is Saturday, my work-free day. Relaxing on the sofa, I occasionally kept an eye on McKenzie who is busy with the set of art books that Xavier delivered yesterday. My phone pinged, taking my attention away from the blue eyes girl.Clicking on the message icon, my lips stretched into a smile as I read the message him, Xavier.:- What are you doing aside from thinking about me? I have something delivered outside your door. Wear it tonight. Ever since I bought the dress three years ago, I’ve been visualizing you in that cloth.Smiling like an idiot, I

XavierAiming to please, I reserved the whole restaurant for my girls. Oliver was instructed to pick them up in the rented limousine with other trails of security details. Dressed in a tux which isn’t something new; I sample designer suits every single day; I anticipated seeing Angela in the red dress. I remember vividly the day I bought that red dress, I almost had a panic attack when the lawyer informed us that she was gone.Shaking off old memories from my head, I looked forward to creating new ones with her. The tinted human-sensitive glass door opened and I stood on my feet to welcome them.Angela…took my breath away. The red dress hugged her figure so perfectly that it looks like she was putting on a second skin, the slit on the side of the dress showed off her fair and silky thigh. Her boobs are bigger than the last time, probably the changes that come with childbirth. Her hair, styled up made her shoulder bones and her neck more visible and enticing, her lips, the perfect sh

Angela We never understand the kind of pain one carries until we know them. I nearly went crazy when I lost papa, which makes me wonder how Xavier felt when he lost both his parents. Maybe that is what shaped him into the man that he is today.Curious about the news of his parent's death, I turned on my laptop, opened the chrome browser, and typed in ‘Mr. and Mrs. Ellmord.’ A picture of them with little Xavier popped up. I found myself smiling at how cute he looked. Scrolling down further, I read the article on their death.Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Ellmord were reported dead in the early hours of today 15th September 2017. It was reported that they died in a car crash that sent their car ablaze, burning the couple beyond recognition. It was stated by his son Xavier Ellmord that they were on their to London to celebrate their wedding anniversary.The death of the couple has left a mixed reaction from the people. Either way, we pray that they find peace wherever they are.The part where it
