“Huh?”. Vanessa became confused after the rain suddenly stopped pouring on her body. She looked up, and that was when she saw the blue umbrella that was above her head. Because Vanessa was surprised, she turned around, only for her to see Xavier standing behind her. He was the one holding the blue umbrella. “Xavier?”. Vanessa muttered as she continued to stare at his face. Xavier was also staring at her. Vanessa began to wonder why Xavier happened to be outside at a time like now. She asked him, “Why are you here? Are you coming from somewhere?”. Xavier saw that a few drops of rain were pouring on Vanessa's body, and that made him cover her even more with the blue umbrella. He smiled at Vanessa for a brief moment, before he replied to her, “I was waiting for you to return home”. Vanessa was puzzled due to Xavier's reply. She had not expected him to be straightforward when answering her question. She was staring at his eyes, and before she knew it, her heart pounded fast, causing
The next day,6:30am, Vanessa woke up early and took her bath. After that, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. “What should I cook this morning?”. Her fingers were placed on her chin as she asked herself this question. She sighed and said, “I wish I knew Xavier's favourite food”. After saying this, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she almost laughed at herself. “Why do I care about Xavier’s favourite food?”. She wondered and was confused.Vanessa was preoccupied. She did not even know that Mrs Charlotte had entered the kitchen and was talking to her. “Vanessa, are you alright? You're not replying to me. Are you planning to cook?”. Mrs Charlotte said to her, but Vanessa was not paying any attention to what she was saying. ‘Is something wrong with her?’. Mrs Charlotte thought to herself and was staring at Vanessa who was holding one of the kitchen frying pans. She went ahead and touched Vanessa's shoulder, and instinctively and automatically, Vanessa asked h
“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
