XAVIER

The majority of the time I spent in my uncle's office was spent talking about our next line of action.

“Kaan was saying he didn't think it was necessary to go after him since he had dropped the law suits. It's just going to bring in more issues.”

I looked at Kaan, knowing that we had just finished having a discussion in private and he did not mention anything like that to me.

He looked at my uncle like he had been betrayed.

“I told you that in secret. You didn't have to sell me out li

    XAVIERThey seemed to know something I didn't. Because the solution to our problem seemed very easy for them “Do you guys know something I didn't?! Because you're killing me with the suspense!”My uncle sighed and got out of his chair. “Xavier, it's a really sticky situation and we all know that you're not going to be willing to do what you have to do. It won't be comfortable with you and the moment we tell you, you'll say no.”Were they kidding? What would I not do to get to the bottom of this issue? “You guys don't really understand how much I want to get this over and done with. There is nothing I won't be open to just to get the truth out of him.” They scoffed at the same time. “Fine.”When they told me what they were thinking, I almost lost all the strength in my body. “What did you say?! You have to be joking! That is the most insane thing I've ever heard! How did you even think about that?”“Xavier, do you think we don't know it's ridiculous? That's the only thing that s

He looked at my uncle like he had been betrayed. “I told you that in secret. You didn't have to sell me out like that.”Xerxes shrugged. “You didn't tell me it was supposed to be a secret. Plus, he needs to know. Xavier is going after Otis, hoping that he'll lead us to whoever planned this. Xavier, what is your plan?” Truth was, I had no plan. I didn't know I'd attack this matter and win. I was fighting an invisible enemy, one who was stronger, smarter and richer. There was no way I was going to attack this situation that seemed right. “I was hoping that you will help me with that because going back

    MIAXavier came around that evening. I was quite surprised to see him because Esme did say that he had a couple of things to deal with considering the situation presently. He strolled in with a smile on his face, presenting the flowers to me as he walked up to the bed. “Here I thought you'd abandoned me.”He laughed. “That is impossible and you know. I should have come to see you earlier. I'm sorry.”The eye bags around his eyes were very evident and they made him look sick when he smiled. I ran my hand over his face, feeling the stubble on his jaw. “You haven't been sleeping for days. Tell me what's going on. I can tell when you're hiding something from me, Xavier and I don't like it when you lie to me.”He sighed, running his hands through his hair. “The last week has been a lot, truthfully and I'm trying to make sense of it all.”After urging him to tell me more, he told me everything that happened since I was rushed to the hospital. “You went to his house?!”“I just wanted

    MIAHe dropped his cane and pointed his finger at me, putting it too close to my face. “Nobody has ever spoken to me in that manner. Not even my son. How dare you speak to me like that? I can make you suffer for it.”I laughed. If he could do anything worse than the things I'd already gone through, then he could bring it on. Then I'd know he was the devil himself. “You are just angry that I told you what you needed to hear..can't you see that you're draining him? You take the light away from him every time you're around and make him feel like a kid. You don't think twice before embarrassing him and you expect me to be quiet and allow it to happen? You and I know that the only reason you hate me is because you see me as a threat. You know that I will stand up to you in any way I can and you hate it because no one has done it. Well, this is me doing it. Watch me.” If he had it in him, he would have hit me but he knew he couldn't.

    MIA“So you think I should respond?”I shook my head at her, wondering why she enjoyed being single so much. “Girl, yes. You should. He's a very nice guy and I don't know why you're scared to.”When Kaan came around yesterday, he asked for her number before leaving. I'm sure he must have been thinking about it for a while before finally deciding to. It would be so cute if they ended up together and I knew that Esme was a very good person. “He is handsome and I like the way he speaks. He has this aura about him and the way he carries himself- I think I see what you see in Xavier now.”Yeah, there was something about the Volkov men. All of them were the same. Dominating, brooding and very commanding. “Just go with the flow. Don't let him know you're so interested in him. We don't want him thinking you're obsessed.”She laughed and agreed. We were playing a game of Scrabble and I was losing woefully be

    XAVIER“So, I couldn't find anything extra in his account statement. I also checked the Attorney General's but there was nothing.”It already seemed like all hope was lost but not yet. “But I found a huge transfer to one charity he had connections to. The Golden Swan. It's run by his wife and there was a transfer of ten million to it in that same month. Coincidence, no. I don't think so. I'm guessing whenever freed Otis and made him drop the case, sent him that money. He's been off the grid since then. And I used that same name to check Otis's statement and I saw transfers every month to him. Someone is paying him to do something. I don't know what it is yet.”I think I had a feeling what it was but I didn't want to jump into conclusions. My uncle was in the room with me, listening to the call. “Okay. Black, I'm going to send you something. You're going to find out if it means anything, okay? I saw it at Otis's house and
