Dirty Secrets Chapter 29
Angela Xavier has been gone for two weeks, but he never fails to FaceTime every night. He spends half of the time talking with McKenzie, and the other half talking to me or trying to put me to sleep. It’s okay to say that I’m slowly getting addicted to red wine. I can’t sleep without taking a glass but then it’s nothing serious; just a glass.Daniel however has taken it upon himself to avoid me at all cost. He comes to see McKenzie when I’m still at work, then leaves before I return. I only find out about his visiting through Mckenzie’s nanny and sometimes through McKenzie.I’ve called and texted and called but he doesn’t return any of them. I also went as far as visiting him at his place, but he ignores my knocks. On one of the unfortunate visits, I went to try my luck by going over to his place, his mum answered the door instead. I remember pleading with her to help me talk to Daniel, but instead, she spat annoying words at me, calling me a selfish bitch and stressing the fact that

AngelaHolding on to a glass of vodka, I sat on the floor and summoned the courage to tell her the truth and nothing but the truth. I wonder if Xavier is aware that Natasha isn’t in New York. Downing the whiskey in my glass, I refilled it immediately.“I met Xavier on the commercial flight back to New York from Mexico, he was sitting next to me and I held onto him while the plane took off. You know how much I hate it whenever the plane is about to take off.”Natasha stared at me with indifference. “We exchanged names. I told him my name and he gave me his first name but refused to give his last name, his excuse being that he isn’t in the habit of giving out his last name to strangers. We discussed random things and then went out separate ways when we landed. I ran into_”“You ran into Darren Mashallow and he tried to force himself on you blah blah blah.” Shocked, I stared at her, unable to bat my lashes. “What? Why do you look so shocked?”“I never told you that I met Darren at the

Angela The cold floor became my companion for heavens knows how long. Everything was as it was when the drama started. The stuff from the supermarket lay close to the foot of the sofa, and my phone was in the same place that Natasha left it. The only thing that shifted is the leftover wine that Natasha left behind. I drank straight from the bottle, hoping to get drunk and forget what just happened a few hours ago.Yes, It’s over three hours since Natasha broke my heart with this news. I’ve spent the past three hours hating Xavier, thinking of possible ways to murder him. Amanda returned with McKenzie two hours ago, but I sent them over to Daniel’s to spend the night. I do not want my daughter to overhear the ugly words I’m going to throw at Xavier, I do not want her to see me or hear me cuss my soul out.Lifting the wine bottle, I tried to take another gulp but nothing came out. Peering into it, I discovered that the bottle is now empty. Staggering to my feet, I went in search of a

Xavier Staring at the five incompetent fools, I was tempted to pull the trigger and end their useless lives. How can I pay them so well yet they find it difficult to carry out the simple task assigned to them? How difficult is keeping watch over Angela and my daughter so situations like Natasha doesn’t come close to them?Two men were assigned to Kenz, and the other three fools were assigned to Angela. Owen, Wyatt, and Chase avoided my eyes. They are the exact people my anger is directed towards. “What were you folks doing when Natasha walked through her front door?”“We’re sorry bossman,” Owen spoke up on behalf of others. “The instruction was that we keep her safe, and that was what we did. We trailed her to the office, to the supermarket then we followed her home. We didn’t know Natasha got into the house.”“You didn’t know?” My palm twitched. “You didn’t know Natasha was in the house?” Unable to keep it in, I struck his jaw, hard enough to draw out blood. Owen swallowed his blood

Angela Daniel has been coming over more frequently. Although he refused to move back in, that doesn’t prevent him from checking up on me every day. I didn’t tell him the reason for my fight with Xavier, but I just told him that I ended things with him. Despite being surprised by the news, Daniel tried to be there for me without being judgmental in any way or form.I took one week of sick leave from the office. My brain isn’t stable enough to handle any important responsibilities right now, so I believe it’s wise if I keep my ass off the company’s building.Feeling a scrutinizing gaze on me, I lifted my eyes from the ice cream up and stared at Daniel’s curious eyes. “Do I have something on my face?” He’s making me uncomfortable with his unblinking gaze. “Daniel? Why are you staring at me like that?”“Aren’t you going to tell me?” I cocked my head to the right. “You and Xavier.” My eyes revisited the ice cream cup. “I know I said I wasn’t going to pry, but I can’t help but be curious.

Angela This is a twist in the drama that I most definitely did not see coming. Staring at Xavier and the young man he introduced as Mr. Miller, I wondered if this is another trick or perhaps a ploy to deceive me further. Who knows, maybe they want me dead this time.“How are you so sure that my father was murdered by his wife Vera?” They never loved me, and I understand their reasons for hating me. They felt threatened but why kill Derek? He didn’t do anything wrong to them.”“Derek spoke to me about finding you and bringing you home,” Xavier explained. “He spoke about it to me and Vera, then he spoke about adjusting his will.” I didn’t realize Xavier was that close to my father. “I bet that she feared he wanted to change the will because he was bringing you home, so she poisoned him before he was able to either bring you home or change his will.”Why is my family filled with so many conspiracies? Why couldn’t it be a normal family like every other home? “What you just said is your m

XavierThe press and the media aren’t people you should mess with. Once on your case, they have the power to pull you up or bring you down. Either way, they can either favor you, or destroy you. In my many years of business, I’ve avoided them like a plague. I pay the necessary people so they don’t publish shit about me but I can’t say the same for my father.He paid the people he considered important, then left the petty hungry bloggers to write reports and shit about him.My case is different though. I pay the major newspaper and magazine house then instill fears in the life of the petty ones. Those who decide to go astray by going ahead to say shit about my means of livelihood or sending the press and cops my way, I make an example out of them. It’s that simple.But today, today is very different from my usual self. One of the ways to shake Natasha’s table is by hounding her ass with the press. Already, the press has been after her ass, asking questions about her recent marriage to
Dirty Secrets Chapter 36
AngelaI spent two weeks, reading through those files that Xavier gave to me. Things have changed in the past four years, starting from the staff down to the management and shareholders, but grasping them all wasn’t difficult. All it needed was concentration and dedication. I was once part of the management body in that company, so I understand the company more than most people, most people like Natasha.Today, I make my first appearance in the public ever since my return to New York. Today is also my first day at S.H Fashions. I can’t wait to see Natasha’s reaction when I walk into that company with every right to be there.Opting for my old look, I curled my hair, the curls not too wild. The white dress and white shoes made me feel like I’m ready to conquer everything. Picking up my nude handbag, I walked out of the room. I was quite surprised when Xavier granted my request to have separate rooms.First, I made a stop at Mckenzie’s room to kiss her good morning, but I found her room
