“Gosh, this can't be happening to me!”. Vanessa let out a loud scream before hitting the large wall mirror that was in front of her. Staring at her bleeding hand, Vanessa didn't mind and grabbed her cell phone. She soon scrolled through the news and each second she saw an article about how her company was about to go bankrupt, she grew even more annoyed. “Nicholas, that jerk! What an idiot!. I can't believe he has been using me all these while!”. Vanessa muttered harshly, and when she recalled how Nicholas treated her earlier this morning, she lost all hope and sat down on the floor. Actually, exactly an hour ago, after hearing the news about her company's situation, Vanessa went to meet Nicholas who was her fiance. She asked for his help, but it turned out that he had been using her and her company's fame the whole time just because he wanted to have a stand as the heir to T&N Company, one of the biggest and most expensive companies in New York City and Italy. But now that her company had become like this, he decided to cut connections with her since she was of no use to him anymore. “Screw you, Nicholas. I assure you, you'll never be the heir to T&N Company!”. Vanessa promised before going silent. She didn't do anything and was just blankly staring at the ceiling above her. The ringing cell phone distracted Vanessa, so she desperately answered it since the caller was from her company. “What is it?”. Vanessa asked, and hearing what her manager had said to her, caused her to quickly rise up from the floor and hung up the call. “What?! This can't be true”. Vanessa said out before she ran out of her apartment, as she planned to visit her company. At exactly 30 minutes, Vanessa arrived at her company. She parked her car somewhere around the parking lot before she hurried to the main unit of her company. Upon arriving, Vanessa spotted her manager who ran to her. “What was the call all about? What you said, is it true?”. “Of course it's true, CEO Vanessa”. The manager replied with a smile. “Where is he?”. Vanessa asked as she wanted to meet the so-called popular guy who prevented her company from going bankrupt. “Follow me, CEO”. The manager politely said and led Vanessa into the elevator. Vanessa saw her manager press the 11th floor button, and that got her curious because her office was also located on the 11th floor. Though she didn't say anything and just followed her manager who confidently led the way. “He's in there, CEO Vanessa”. The manager gestured her hand towards the door as she showed Vanessa where he was. “He's in there? Are you sure?”. Vanessa was surprised and asked. I mean, this is her office, so how come he's in there?. “Yes, CEO Vanessa. Mr Xavier preferred to wait in your office”. ‘The audacity’. Vanessa thought before gesturing her hand, indicating that her manager should leave. “Sure, CEO Vanessa”. After her manager had already left, Vanessa exhaled deeply before entering her office. As soon as she entered, her eyes locked with the most handsome guy she'd ever seen!. “You're- you're Mr Xavier?”. Vanessa curiously asked even though she already had an idea. ‘But wait, what is he doing sitting on my personal chair?!’. Vanessa slightly frowned as she thought. “Make yourself comfortable, Lady Vanessa”. Xavier's eyes didn't leave Vanessa's side even after he said to her. ‘Of course I'll make myself comfortable, after all, is this not my office?’. Vanessa thought to herself as she calmly went ahead and sat down on her client's chair instead. “I heard from my manager about what you did, Mr Xavier. I'm grateful for that, but I'm not a fool. You helped me because you wanted something from me, right?”. Vanessa didn't beat around the bush and said with a straight face. “I see you're catching on pretty fast, Vanessa”. “Is that supposed to be a compliment?”. Vanessa furrowed her eyebrows at Xavier when she asked him. “Something like that. And since I'm a busy man, I'll go straight to the point”. Xavier announced and the instant he said this, the air around him changed, even Vanessa felt goosebumps. ‘What’s this sudden change?’. Vanessa thought because the Mr Xavier in front of her totally changed and looked like a completely different person. His face was cold and he wasn't staring at her with friendly eyes anymore. “Sign this”. Xavier passed the documents to Vanessa as he ordered. “What's this?”. Vanessa asked, and when she didn't get a reply from Xavier, she just went ahead and collected the documents. Reading the documents, Vanessa gasped in disbelief. She immediately stood up and slammed both of her hands on the desk while she said, “You expect me to sign and agree with this? A contract marriage?”. “I think our conversation is over”. Vanessa added and was already thinking of telling Xavier to leave her office. Xavier noticed that Vanessa was not ready to negotiate with him, so he rose up from the chair and coldly announced, “Remember to buy a lot of tissues tonight”. “What's that supposed to mean?”. Vanessa asked but Xavier ignored her and left. Meanwhile, Vanessa didn't leave her office yet. Since the bankruptcy issue of her company had been resolved by Xavier, she decided to continue her daily lifestyle by reviewing some pending files and also putting her signature on the files that needed it. Vanessa went on and on working endlessly until the time was 9 pm in the night. Soon she finished for the day and returned back to her apartment. Upon entering her apartment, she switched on the living room tv and went to her bedroom to freshen up. She removed the black gown and ash heels she was wearing and immediately went inside the bathroom afterwards. “Ha, what a long day I had today. But my company finally being saved is worth all the trouble”. Vanessa announced as she switched on the cold shower. Many minutes passed, and Vanessa was done bathing. She came out and wore her favourite blue pyjamas before going to the living room. “Hahaha”. Vanessa giggled upon the funny show that was currently playing on the tv. The show was so interesting that she decided to sit down and watch it through. But as soon as she sat down, she mistakenly sat down on the remote which automatically changed the channel to breaking news. [Breaking news: We've just been informed that Diamond V company has officially gone bankrupt. Diamond V was once among the largest and competent companies in the world who once made it through the world wide block chain marketplaces. Unfortunately, Diamond V company’s reign has come to a brief end. But the question now is, with Diamond V company out of the way, does that give chances to the uprising companies to make it to the top?]. “Wh- what did I just see? Wasn't my company saved from going bankrupt? Didn't Mr Xavier save my Company?”. Vanessa muttered in a low tone and immediately, her eyes reddened and a drop of tears fell out.As early as 6am, Derek and Eric woke up from their sleep. Since they had arranged their clothes and other things inside their blue luggages, they took the luggages with them. They stood still and looked around the room briefly, before they sighed in defeat and left the room. Before they could locate Vanessa’s room, they saw her waiting for them in the hallway. It turns out that she had woken up a while ago and had been waiting for them there ever since. “Let's go, my little pumpkins”. She said to them, causing their eyes to widen. It indeed had been a long time since she addressed them that way. Though Eric and Derek were surprised, they followed Vanessa outside the mansion and entered her car after they saw her enter the car. “Wait. Aren't we supposed to tell our brother-in-law and Mrs Charlotte and the others that we're leaving?”. Derek asked, and that caused Eric, who was sitting in the front seat, to look at Vanessa, who was sitting next to him in the driver's seat. “
Vanessa arrived in the corridor of Xavier’s room. She knocked on the door at least three times, but no one answered the door. “Isn’t he inside the room?”. She wondered, and was thinking of what to do. She stopped thinking and called his name, “Xavier, are you in there?”. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Vanessa gave up. She went to the dining room and sat on one of the dining chairs. The sweet aroma of the food was enough to make her flat stomach growl like a hungry beast. Without waiting for Eric and Derek, or even Xavier, she began to eat. It was after 15 minutes that Eric and Derek arrived in the dining room. But at that time, Vanessa had already finished eating. Though she had not left the dining room and was still sitting on the dining chair.Eric and Derek took their seats next to each other. They looked around the entire room, and because they couldn't see Xavier in the room, Derek asked, “Where is our brother-in-law, Nessa?”.‘Here we go again. Brother-in-law? How th
Xavier flinched, and his eyes widened because of what he heard Vanessa say to him. His hands left the steering wheel as he looked at Vanessa’s face. She was staring at him. “Are you serious about this, Nessa?”. A drop of sweat formed on his forehead as he asked her. He had truly expected her not to give him a chance. “Yes, I am serious about this, Xavier. I'm willing to give you a chance. But if by the end of our marriage contract and I do not have any feelings for you, we'll part ways”.Xavier nodded at Vanessa. His heart was pounding against his chest because Vanessa said she would part ways with him if she didn't have any feelings for him. ‘I will try my best to make you love me before our marriage contract ends, Nessa’. He promised himself in his mind, before he drove off. They were returning home. ….After their arrival at the mansion, Vanessa went to her bedroom to freshen up, while Xavier went to his own bedroom and laid on his king-sized bed. He had a big smile on his face
Vanessa had returned home but didn't see Xavier. She thought about going to Mrs Charlotte and asking her about Xavier’s whereabouts, before she remembered that Xavier must be in his company, since he had made an official announcement concerning his companies earlier. Another thought popped into her head. ‘Xavier named his company Xava? What does that name mean?’. She wondered and was about to take a step forward when she gasped upon realising what the name meant. “No way. Xava? Xa- vier? Va- nessa? That can't be”. She shook her head, as she refused to believe that Xavier would go to the extent of using the first two alphabets of her name. After brushing off her thoughts, she tried to leave the mansion and go to one of Xavier’s companies, when she received a call on her cell phone. As she stared at her cell phone’s screen, she saw that the number calling her was unknown. Irrespective of that, she answered the call. ‘What worse could possibly happen if I answered the call?’. That was
Everyone who had watched the evidence of how Sofia and Mrs Wilson had poisoned Xavier's mother, became so angry. Most of them left their houses and were going to Mr Wilson's mansion. Most of the people were Xavier's die-hard fans. Xavier also saw the evidence and was amazed by how fast Vanessa was able to find the culprits. He knew that it was her who had uploaded all that evidence. “She found them so fast. I wasn't even able to do that”. He muttered, before his mind thought about Sofia and Mrs Wilson. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “I promise I'll make sure that all of them rot in jail”. He declared, before he left the conference hall and quickly went to his car that was parked outside his company. He didn't know where Vanessa was at the moment, but he wanted to go to her company. He knew that even though Vanessa was not in her company, he could collect her cell phone’s number from Eric and Derek and call her. He wanted to collect the complete evidence from her an
The news about the T&N company and the Triple Union company has circulated almost everywhere. People were talking, uploading posts and commenting about it. Meanwhile, inside Cassandra’s office, Cassandra had a smile on her face after she carefully kept her cell phone on her desk. “I knew it and I said it. The slaying dragon would never have attacked the triple union company or anyone without a cause. Too bad for Nicholas and Alexa. Now they have caused their family’s companies to go down the drain. So sad”. She shook her head, before she added, “Why did the slaying dragon help chairman Vanessa? Is she acquainted with chairman Vanessa?”. She paused for a while, and then waved off her imaginations while admitting, “I doubt that. Maybe the slaying dragon simply helped chairman Vanessa, just like she had helped me before. But, I don't understand. That CCTV footage that the Slaying Dragon had uploaded on social media... How did she acquire it? I know she's a great hacker and can easil
‘I guess I should leave Zuri. She deserves punishment, I know that. But, she did what she did out of fear. I should probably leave her in the meantime’. Vanessa thought. And during that moment, she smiled upon remembering something. ‘That day Alexa and Nicholas visited my office to rub what they had done to me on my face... Did I forget that there was a secret CCTV camera in my office? Goodness me. I'll upload that CCTV footage online after I finish avenging myself’. {PS: the scene happened in chapter 8, titled; Meeting ex jerk fiance and best friend} Vanessa couldn't help it and burst out laughing with delight. She only stopped laughing because of Finn, who was still asleep. Her blue eyes darkened. “It's time to get to work”. She muttered as she stretched her fingers and prepared them for typing. A while later, Because it was both companies' main funds that Vanessa was taking away, it took her over an hour to accomplish her mission. She wiped the sweat on her forehead, as
Vanessa was riding her bike side by side with different motorists on the road, and sitting behind her on the bike was Claire, who was hanging on for her life. “Haha. Claire, your brother is tough. But fortunately, I was able to win back his support with the help of my stubbornness and you!”. Vanessa exclaimed. She was happy that even though Blake was upset with her for blaming Claire, he was able to sympathise with her, since it wasn't entirely her fault for blaming Claire.“Yeah, Blake is tough, Chairman Vanessa. But I'm glad we're back to being partners again”. Claire said, while trying to maintain her balance, so that she wouldn't fall off the bike. Because of how stiff Claire sat on the bike, Vanessa chuckled. ‘She must be afraid that she might fall off’. She thought, as she decided not to talk to Claire again until after they had arrived at her company and were standing on foot. Diamond V company,Vanessa's office,Derek and Eric were pacing back and forth together. They had a
Earlier,“What's taking them so long?”. Gabriella frowned as she asked herself. She had gotten tired of staying in the car for so long. The minute she got out of the car, that was when she saw Jasper and Captain Tristan returning with a handcuffed guy.She stared at the handcuffed guy carefully before she realised that he looked exactly like that cyber cafe owner whom Isla and Nova had bribed. “Finally”. She sighed in relief, and her eyes never left Alvin's side. After Jasper, Tristan and Alvin had arrived close to Gabriella, Gabriella forced herself not to attack Alvin. “Let's return to the police station”. Tristan said, after he had used force to make Alvin enter the car. Since Alvin was sitting in the backseat, Jasper told Gabriella to stay in the front seat with Captain Tristan, while he sat in the backseat with Alvin. He could never allow Gabriella to sit together with Alvin. Tristan started the car and drove off to the station. Within a few couples of minutes, they arrived
