“There's no problem. The hamburger and chocolate cookies tasted familiar to me. That's all”. Xavier replied to Vanessa. He sat in his seat and quietly ate his breakfast. Though, his mood had changed drastically. Breakfast was uncomfortable for Eric and Derek because the once cool atmosphere had now become cold and dangerous. They saw that Xavier was quietly eating, but his face made it look obvious that he wasn't in a good mood. And Vanessa, they saw that her actions were similar to those of Xavier. “Let’s wrap our hamburgers and chocolate cookies and take them to the cyber cafe’s secret lair. We will eat them there rather than here. I can't even chew and swallow my hamburger without feeling uncomfortable”. Eric whispered into Derek’s ear as Derek was sitting next to him. Derek nodded without hesitation after hearing what Eric had said to him. He couldn't wait to leave the dining room also. Eric smiled at Derek, before he stood up suddenly and went to the kitchen in order to find
The villa had a gate, so Vanessa gave Xavier a signal for him to stay in his car while she got down from the bike and removed her helmet, before she went and knocked on the gate.She knocked twice, and the gate was opened by an elderly woman. The elderly woman was holding the open gate and did not come out. “Young lady, who are you? What business do you have here?”. The woman asked Vanessa, and Vanessa couldn't answer her question because she had no idea why Xavier had brought her to this place. “I can't answer your question, ma’am. But there's someone who might”. Vanessa said to her. She intended to take Xavier to the elderly woman, but as she turned around, she saw that Xavier was standing behind her. The elderly woman removed the eyeglasses from her eyes as she saw Xavier. “Xavier?”. She muttered in disbelief, before she hugged Xavier and said, “I can't believe you're here, my child. It's been six months since your last visit. And why didn't you inform me that you were coming
Mr Lincoln's company, Mr Lincoln was holding an emergency meeting in the conference room, and from the look on his face, things were not going well at all. Yesterday, after he left the wedding venue and returned home with his wife and Tracey, he received a phone call shortly after from his assistant, Max, who informed him about the unfortunate event that had happened to the Triple Union company. And because of the bad news, Mr Lincoln hurriedly left the mansion and went to his company. He even stayed at the company overnight and did not return home because of the way he was searching for a solution to fix his company's problem. “Chairman Lincoln, this is not the first time our company has been attacked. The last time we were attacked by an unknown source, we weren't able to resolve the issues. Our company lost a lot of potential business partners due to that. And now, we have been attacked again. All our important business files were deleted! And all our computers and laptop
Nicholas’ bedroom, Alexa woke up from sleep and was yawning with her palm placed against her mouth, before she turned to her side and saw Nicholas, who was still asleep. ‘Gosh. Seriously? I forgot that this was not my room. I will not be able to sleep alone from now on, because I'm married to this jerk’. Alexa thought to herself after hissing. She rose up from bed and put on her nightgown’s jacket. After putting on the nightgown’s jacket, she turned to look at Nicholas. In her mind, she said, ‘My plans have changed, Nicholas. At first, I simply approached you because I wanted to ruin your relationship with Vanessa. I was angry that Vanessa was more successful than me, while I had to rely on my father’s wealth. Luckily afterward, my mother gave me a better idea of ruining both the Diamond V company and the T&N company, while using you to accomplish that purpose for us, Nicholas. That was the reason why I used you to steal Vanessa's company's main fund. I thought that after I did th
Melinda kept quiet for a while. She later frowned, and with a dark look in her eyes, she said to Tracey, “I advise you to mind your business, Tracey. Don't cross the line”. “Sure, Melinda. I'll mind my business and not cross the line”. A smirk appeared on Tracey's lips as she said to Melinda. “You rude child! How dare you call me by my name?!”. “Where is my father, stepmom?”. Tracey asked her. She didn't care that Melinda was angry with her. Melinda gritted her teeth and felt the urge to slap Tracey's face. She struck Tracey’s face, but before her hand could land on Tracey's face, Tracey grabbed her hand. “I simply asked for my father, Melinda. How dare you try to slap my face?”. Tracey’s voice was low, but her eyes and face resembled a psychopath. This scared the heck out of Melinda. “Yo- you. Wh- what's wrong with you today, Tracey? You aren't always like this. What suddenly made you have the courage to face me?”. Melinda asked her and hissed in pain after Tracey roughly let

Vanessa thought about what Xavier had said to her and remained silent. Her hesitation made Xavier become anxious, since he thought that she didn't want to tell him about herself. In actual sense, Vanessa truly didn't want to tell Xavier everything concerning her, because if she did, he would know that she was the Slaying dragon. ‘Should I really tell Xavier everything about me? Is that really worth it? But, what if I did not tell him and one day my secret identity was exposed? Wouldn't that make him feel sad, because I didn't tell him everything about me?’. She reasoned inside her mind. She sighed. Her gaze was fixed on Xavier. Her blue eyes were serious when she said to him, “Xavier, promise me that you will never tell a single soul about what I'm going to tell you now”. Xavier was taken aback. ‘A promise? But why does she want me to make a promise?’. He wondered. He couldn't understand why. “Must I make a promise? Are you planning on telling me some sort of secret?”. Hi
Mr Lincoln and Max arrive at the police station together. One of the police officers led them to the detective’s office. Cassandra, who was wearing a pair of eyeglasses, and was sitting on her office seat, got distracted because of the knock on her door. Staring at the pile of files on her desk caused her to sigh. “It's almost time for me to take a break. Who's knocking?”. She almost hissed, as she was feeling stressed out. She ordered, “Come in”. The door was opened, and Mr Lincoln and Max, including the police officer who led the way, entered Cassandra's office. Mr Lincoln was shocked to see a young lady. He had expected to see an elderly man as the detective. “She's a detective? Are you sure? She looks younger than my daughter. So, how could she be a detective? What a joke”. Mr Lincoln was doubting Cassandra's position. “Ha. I've gotten tired of this already”. Cassandra shook her head and muttered. Mr Lincoln couldn't hear what Cassandra said. He walked towards her and asked
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
Inside the airport building,Tristan knew the face of Alvin, so the search was going pretty smoothly for him. After searching for Alvin for a few minutes, but couldn't find him anywhere in the airport, Tristan smirked as he thought to himself, ‘I knew it. There's no way these two amateur siblings would be able to find the people I couldn't find’. There was still a proud look on Tristan's face when he suddenly saw Alvin, who was at the boarding entrance and was holding blue luggage by his side. “What the”. He became utterly speechless and had to look at Jasper who was behind him. “This is impossible”. He clenched his fists as he muttered. “Did you say something just now?”. Jasper asked Tristan, but Tristan, who was stunned, didn't answer him. ‘I don't believe that these two amateur siblings found the culprits on their own. I must ask them how they did that after I arrested that annoying cyber cafe owner’. Tristan thought. He hated to admit it, but he was feeling completely incompete
Jasper and Gabriella had both arrived outside the police station in a taxi. After Jasper paid the taxi driver his money, he and Gabriella stared at each other's faces and nodded twice, before they walked into the building together.Upon their arrival inside the building, they were stopped by one of the police officers. “What can we help you two with?”. He asked them. Since he was assigned to the police station today, he had no idea that Jasper and Gabriella had come to the station before.“We're here to meet Captain Tristan. I hope he's around today?”. Gabriella said to the police officer. The police officer got confused for a second. ‘Both of you are here to meet Captain Tristan? But no one informed me about you two’. He wondered, and when he opened his mouth to say something, a deep voice was heard behind him. “I see both of you are here again”.The police officer turned around quickly and saw Tristan, whose hands were positioned behind his back. As for Gabriella and Jasper, they
Vanessa returned to her room. She freshened up and wore a black T-shirt with black trousers. She grabbed her bike’s key that was on the table before she left her room and went outside. As soon as she put on her helmet and climbed on her bike, she rode it toward the gates, after which the security guard opened the gates for her. …. Cassandra had arrived outside the Triple Union company with officer Ricky by her side. A broad smirk appeared on her face as she entered the company before her. Max approached Cassandra the moment his eyes landed on her. According to Mr Lincoln’s orders, he must assist detective Cassandra with the investigation by showing her all the infected computers and laptops.“Detective Cassandra, I'm glad you made it”. Max smiled as he said to her. Though he became wary of her because he noticed that she was behaving indifferently towards him. “Plea - please follow me, detective Cassandra. I'll lead you to see the laptops and computers that the hacker had attacke
“Say something, Mr Xavier”. Vanessa demanded. “Yes. I loved you even before I made you sign the marriage contract agreement”. Xavier said to Vanessa, and that made her gasp in disbelief. “Yo- you didn't even deny it?”. She exclaimed, and was feeling anxious. “Why would I deny it when my feelings for you are true, Nessa?”. What Xavier said made him and Vanessa stop talking. They stared at each other for a few seconds. “I-” Xavier saw that Vanessa was pressured. He didn't want her to be overwhelmed, so he quickly assured her, saying, “It’s alright, Nessa. I won't ever force you to do what you don't want to do”. He added with a smile, “But you should know that my love for you is true. I would never take any advantage of you or betray you like Nicholas”. “I'll take my leave then”. Xavier left the room after glancing at Vanessa's face. He was going to the living room. Meanwhile, Vanessa couldn't understand the strange feeling she was feeling deep inside her heart as s
Xavier said nothing else after he had finished muttering. He was frowning as he made his way outside. Eric and Derek followed Xavier outside, as they were curious. But Mrs Charlotte remained inside the mansion. She suddenly began to wonder about something that had already been bothering her before, “Why are Master Xavier and his wife still staying in different rooms? And what day would I get to witness their wedding ceremony?”. Mrs Charlotte wondered about Vanessa and Xavier’s wedding ceremony because she knew that Vanessa and Xavier had enough money and were both more than capable of hosting a wedding ceremony. Again, she has yet to understand the reason behind them sleeping in different bedrooms. ‘Are they staying in different rooms because they haven't had their wedding ceremony? But haven't they already registered their marriage?’. She thought and was confused. “Ha”. She sighed in defeat when she realised that she had spaced out. She brushed off all her curious thoughts and
“Calm down, Claire. Stop crying. Give me some minutes, and I'll come and meet you today”. Vanessa said to her, but that only made Claire cry more.Claire thought that what Vanessa had said was an excuse to hang up the phone call. “Claire-”. “Do you hate me, chairman Vanessa? Is that why you purposely said those words to me so that you could hang up the call?”. Claire asked her, before her eyes widened in shock after she thought of something. She asked, “Did you call me by mistake?”. ‘Claire has never behaved like this before. I must have really broken her heart. Thanks to Zuri for framing her. And thanks to me, who believed that she betrayed me! I casted her aside! I'm also at fault’. Vanessa thought to herself. She gritted her teeth, causing the veins in her neck to pop out after she had done that. She felt the urge to vent her anger right now on Zuri. Fortunately, she suppressed and chained all the boiling rage she was feeling. She sighed and said to Claire, “Please listen to me
8:30am in the morning, “Should we knock again, Derek? We have been standing here for an hour”. Eric asked him, but Derek shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. They were standing outside Vanessa’s room, and had knocked several times on the door. But up to this very moment, Vanessa had not opened the door for them. Derek's fingers were on his chin as he wondered. He later said to Eric, “Maybe she's still sleeping”. “But that's unlike Nessa”. Eric said and frowned. He was feeling desperate and unsettled because he wanted Vanessa to tell Derek and him everything that happened last night. Xavier’s bedroom happened to be the closest room to Vanessa’s bedroom. He went out of his room, before he coincidentally saw the way Eric and Derek were about to knock on Vanessa’s room door. “Don't do that, twins. She might still be asleep”. Xavier said to them, causing them to retrieve their hands that had almost knocked on the door. Eric and Derek stopped facing the door a
