“Is he your boyfriend?”. Xavier was staring at Vanessa without blinking an eye when he asked her. “Bo- boy what? Him?”. Vanessa asked and soon burst out laughing in disbelief. She laughed out for a very long time before she finally got tired and cleared her throat. “Oh, you're actually serious with your question?”. Vanessa questioned and when Xavier didn't reply to her, she wrapped her hands on her chest and added, “Don't you see the resemblance? He's my little brother”. “Little brother?”. Xavier muttered and couldn't believe himself for getting jealous all of a sudden. Even though Xavier's voice was absolutely low, Vanessa was still able to hear what he said. So she said to him, “Yes, he's my little brother…. In fact, he's a twin, and I bet the other twin would soon wake up if he didn't see his brother. You know, they're inseparable. And to be honest, I didn't tell them about the contract marriage because I didn't want them to know about it”. Vanessa sighed before she added, “T
Eric did as Vanessa ordered him. He hurried to the guest room and immediately woke Derek from his sleep. “But I want to sleep longer”. Derek groaned and complained after Eric woke him up and refused to let him sleep again. Seeing that Derek laid on the bed again, Eric shook his head and smiled when a solution popped into his head. “You dare to sleep again, Derek? Let me just remind you, our big sister will fire you from work”. Eric mischievously announced. After hearing what Eric said to him, Derek immediately opened his eyes. Not only that, he also slapped his own face before he rose up from the bed speedily. “Tsk, you punk, you're so afraid of our big sister”. Eric wrapped his hands on his chest as he teased Derek. After what Eric had said to him, Derek slightly frowned his face, before he grinned and threatened Eric, “Since you're not afraid of our big sister, I'll go to her right now and tell her that you wore her favourite scarf when she wasn't around. I'll also tell her
After breakfast, Eric and Derek did exactly what Vanessa requested of them. They created a totally inexistent lady, and uploaded her pictures on the Internet, as the owner of Diamond V company. “Good job, little bros. You guys are really good with this computer stuff”. Vanessa complimented Eric and Derek who smiled proudly at her. “You see, that was why me and Derek decided to be businessmen”. Eric announced, but was spanked on the head by Vanessa. “You brat. Just keep on having fun working in my company. But I assure you, one day, our Mom and Dad will figure out that you both didn't study to become a lawyer”. Vanessa announced, and immediately she did, both Eric and Derek gulped the invisible lump in their throats. Seeing how scared her little brothers were, Vanessa chuckled at them before she said to them, “Don't worry, because of this favour you two did for me, even though our Mom and Dad find out about the truth, I'll help you out”. “Thanks, big sister!”. Eric and Derek excla
Vanessa arrived inside her office and chuckled when she noticed that the twins were giving her cold shoulders. She didn't question them and just went ahead to sit on her office chair. After Vanessa sat down and was busy engaging herself with work, Eric and Derek adjusted their own office chairs before they began scheming and cooking up something. Vanessa wasn't able to hear what the twins were saying because– their office desks were stationed pretty far from hers– even though they were in the same office. “Derek, it's time to put our good skills to action”. Derek gasped in disbelief after he heard what Eric said to him. He cleaned his ears since he wanted to make sure that he heard correctly. “Wait, you're actually serious about this?”. Derek was in disbelief, so he asked Eric. “Yes. Our big sister knows that we're good at operating computer devices. But remember, she doesn't know we're great at hacking stuff. In fact, no one knows about our true identity! It's time for us to
Vanessa sighed deeply after she hung the call. Checking the time in her wrist watch, she saw that there was still much time until tomorrow. Meaning that there was still many hours before she'd meet with Finn in the secret lair. Vanessa began with her thinking. She was planning to go back to her apartment right now, so that in the evening time, she can return to Xavier's mansion. But again, because she was kinda stressed out, she re- decided and suggested going to Xavier's mansion right now. Actually, the truth why Vanessa decided to go to Xavier's mansion was because, if she went to her own apartment, she'd have to cook. But if she went to Xavier's mansion, Mrs Charlotte would get everything covered for her. “It's settled. Xavier's mansion it is. I just hope that no one would ask me why I returned back early. In fact, I can't let any of them know that I took a temporary break from going to my company”. Vanessa announced, and after making sure that everything was set, she drove of
It was finally the next morning. Vanessa lazily got up from her bed. She was thinking that this was her apartment, so she left her bedroom– as she planned to go to the guest room and check after her twin brothers. Upon arriving at the mistake-guestroom corridor, Vanessa opened the well carved wooden door and entered. “Hey, you punks should wake up already. You have to freshen up and go to work”. Vanessa muttered, and when she saw that no one was laying on the bed, she naturally thought that– Eric and Derek were already inside the bathroom. “Mm, diligent boys. They woke up early today”. Vanessa proudly muttered. She was still feeling tired and sleepy, so she simply just went ahead and laid down on the empty bed. On the other side, Xavier was inside his bathroom. He just finished taking his bath and wore his linen ash bathrobe. Checking himself up in the large wall mirror, Xavier saw that he looked good, so he came out from the bathroom. Xavier hasn't yet noticed Vanessa. He
Vanessa returned to the secret lair with the cleaning materials. She handed over to Finn– the vacuum cleaner. “You're going to use the vacuum to clean the floors. While I am going to clean all the tables and chairs. Plus, I'll also clean up the door and windows”. “Any problem?”. Vanessa questioned with threatening eyes, after seeing the way Finn frowned his face. Finn’s face automatically brightened as soon as he saw the way Vanessa was glaring at him. “No problem at all. I'll start cleaning up immediately”. Finn announced and instantly did as he had said. He switched on the vacuum cleaner and began cleaning the floors. While Vanessa, she dipped the neat towel that she was holding– inside the bowl of water. After that, she went ahead and started cleaning the tables first. About 2 hours later, The secret lair was sparkling clean. In fact, the secret lair was just as if they had newly built it. Vanessa was so tired since she was the one who did most of the cleaning. Finn was
“Wait, Claire? Isn't Claire the same person that assisted you from the very scratch with your company?”. Finn was stunned and questioned. “Yes, it's the same Claire”. Vanessa replied and instantly, her eyes darkened as she felt really betrayed. Seeing the dark look on Vanessa's face, Finn smiled and asked, “So, what are you going to do now?”. “It's obvious, I'm going to get her fired from my company immediately”. Vanessa declared. Something later popped inside her head and she began to imagine, ‘Wait, since Alexa doesn't know I'm still the chairman of my company, that'd only mean one thing. Claire played both me and Alexa! And since Alexa didn't know Claire's face, it means that Claire helped Alexa and Nicholas in the shadows! What a cunning lady!’. “Something on your mind?”. Finn already noticed that something was going on with Vanessa, so he asked. “Yes. I figured out that Claire played both me and Alexa. I'm certain that she wanted to ruin us both, so that she could be the
