Dirty Secrets chapter 49
Angela Lucas huffed at my indirect accusation. “I’m not going to hurt you Angela, so get into the goddamn room. bossman is in there.” It will take more than mere words to reassure me. When it was obvious that I wasn’t moving an inch, he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the room. The sight I saw made me regret coming to this club in the first place. In the middle of the room is an unfamiliar man, chained with both hands up, his face battered beyond recognition. Xavier on the other hand stood next to him with a gun in his hand. I looked at Lucas who simply avoided meeting my gaze. Sly did not even make it into the room. I swallowed nervously. “Xavier? What is going on?” Xavier who looks nonchalant about the whole thing dragged his feet towards me, the gun hanging loosely in his hand. “This young man is an imposter. He is here under the pretense of who he is not, with the intention of bringing me down, or possibly sending me to my untimely death.” That doesn’t explain why he is be

XavierWatching the busy streets while I mulled over what happened three hours ago did nothing to improve my sour mood. The cool breeze from the rooftop and the marijuana cigar did nothing to soothe me in any way.Lucas observed from the sideline in silence. The whisky bottle that I am literally sharing with him hung loosely in his hand. He so much wants to remind me how he warned me not to go ahead with that plan but then he is wiser than that.Any wrong move from him can make me transfer my anger to him which definitely will not end in his favor.Sighing loudly, Lucas joined me to watch the view of the city. “How about we hit the ring? I’ll be your opponent.” No other man round me can match my energy when I’m boxing with fury; I am capable of hitting a man to death with my fist, but Lucas is an exception; he always matches my energy.“Inform Wyatt to cancel all my meeting for the day.” I can as well visit the port when I’m done boxing with Lucas. “Any news on Steven?” Steven is a fr

Angela It’s Saturday, and normally, I would have made a quick stop at the office after dropping Mckenzie at her music class but today, I don’t think I want to be anywhere close to working. Xavier to my surprise hasn’t shown up ever since I left the manor. Not that I want him to come after me, but then letting me go like that isn’t like him. His constant phone calls these last few days have slowly returned to none.McKenzie keeps asking me about her father, she keeps asking me when we’ll be seeing him, and like every damn time, I’ve been giving her the same excuse; so right now, my daughter isn’t even talking to me.For the tenth time, I checked my wristwatch and sighed. “Mckenzie! You are going to be late for class.” She told me that she wants to grab her pink pencil. How long is that going to take her? “Mcken_”The door opened and she stepped out, a permanent frown on her face. “Stop screaming my name mum, you’ll wake our neighbor’s dog.”It was on the tip of my tongue to remind he

XavierI informed Sly that I was coming over which was why he didn’t look alarmed when the front door opened. This is my penthouse, which means that I have the master card for every room in here including the front door.Kenz who was engrossed in the cartoon playing out on the screen didn’t notice me walk into the living room. I had to call her to gain her attention. “Hey, baby.”Surprised to hear my voice, she swiped her head quickly to the right and leaped out off the sofa with excitement when she saw me. “Mummy!”“Yes, baby!” Angela responded from the kitchen space.“Daddy is here!” She leaped into my waiting arms and wrapped her tiny hands around my neck. “I’ve missed you, daddy.”“I’ve missed you too princess.” I kissed her neck and then her cheek before carrying her back to the sofa. “I got some kinds of stuff for you.” Carefully placing her on the sofa, I handed her a plastic bag that contained toys and chocolates.She smiled widely at the sight of the chocolate. “Thanks, daddy

AngelaI rushed into the hospital with Xavier behind me. He doesn’t look affected over the news that Daniel was in an accident, more like he couldn’t care less. His aloof behavior proves that he is not here for Daniel, but rather is here for me because he doesn’t want me to be out here alone by myself this late.Slamming my hand on the marble counter of the hospital, I almost poked my head into the computer screen to find information about Daniel myself. “I’m here to see Daniel Marshall. He was brought in here few minutes ago.”The nurse typed away on the computer, no doubting searching for information on Daniel. “How are you related to him?”Telling her that I’m his friend is not enough reason to let me see the patient, so I almost lied that I am his sister. But then, if the news of the lies spreads, it is going to ruin our plan with Natasha.“She is his boss.” Xavier responded behind me. Grateful for his help, I smiled at him. The nurse told me his room number after putting a call a

XavierJust as I promised Angela, I made the news disappear after two days. All I had to do was pay the right people and crash the already existing sites carrying the news.Angela and Daniel already began their friendship as per se. She drops by the hospital every day after work, making sure to be captured by the press.“Should I come in with you?” Lucas asked as he stared at Veronica’s house from the window. “she is home alone. Her husband traveled.”“watch the perimeter while I’m in there.” I don’t need nosey neighbors interrupting my discussion with her.“Okay boss.” He turned up the volume of the radio as I got out of the car.I opened the door and got down. Deciding to take the gentleman’s approach, I knocked on the front door twice. I heard splattering footsteps before the door opened.Dressed in a bathrobe, her hair slightly wet, Veronica opened the door but almost banged it to my face when she saw who was standing outside her porch. Her widened eyes shows that I am the last pe
