Vanessa collected the contract marriage documents Xavier offered to her. And after reading through the documents’ terms and conditions, she immediately inserted her signature on the documents since the deal was pretty okay to her.
According to the marriage contract terms and conditions, Vanessa only has to pretend to be Xavier's wife for a year, plus, she also has to live in his mansion throughout the year, and after that, she'd be free and the marriage contract would become invalid.“All done”. Vanessa announced and gave back the documents to Xavier who collected it from her.After Xavier had collected the marriage contract documents from Vanessa, he reviewed it before a mischievous grin appeared on his lips.“It’s a deal then. Prepare to move into my mansion next week. After that, you'll follow me to my family mansion. It's going to be my father's birthday”. Xavier declared after putting the documents in his suit.‘Isn’t he going to ask me what I need help with?’. Vanessa thought and when she mustered up her courage to ask Xavier, she heard his deep husky voice speaking again.“You can go back home, Vanessa. Don't forget to get popcorn tonight because tomorrow morning would be surprising to you”. After Xavier said this, he left Vanessa and went upstairs to his room.“What does he mean?”. Vanessa muttered as she was greatly confused. She wanted to ask Xavier what he meant, but since he already left, she hesitated before she also left.‘God please, I pray it's the money for my father's surgery that Xavier is going to send to me tomorrow morning. I pray that's what he means by the surprise to me’. Vanessa hopefully thought and when she made her way outside and got into her car, she finally realised that she didn't give her account details to Xavier!.“What the heck is wrong with me? How am I going to receive the surprise when I didn't even give him my account details?!”. Vanessa quarrelled herself before a frown appeared on her face. Soon, Vanessa thought of returning back to Xavier's mansion, but later she changed her mind and decided to trust Xavier and wait until morning.After making this tough decision, Vanessa drove off to her apartment.Upon arriving inside her apartment, Vanessa went to her bedroom and as soon as she laid on her bed, she immediately fell asleep due to how sleepy and tired she already was.Many hours passed and it was already morning time.Vanessa woke up as early as she could and the first thing she checked was her cell phone to see if she received any money in her bank account. After carefully checking her messages and emails, Vanessa was extremely disappointed and tossed her cell phone aside.“Wait a minute, did I sign those marriage contract agreements for nothing?”. Vanessa came down from her bed when she questioned herself. She wanted to ask herself more questions, but she got distracted by a sudden phone call.Vanessa didn't bother to check the caller's Id and just answered the call after she picked up her cell phone, “What?”. Vanessa rudely asked the person.“CEO Vanessa, you won't believe what happened to Diamond V company. Check the news!”.“Wait, aren't you my ex-manager?”. Vanessa raised one of her eyebrows as she questioned the lady who spoke to her excitedly.“Ex-manager? CEO Vanessa, go and watch the breaking news and you'll eventually understand why I'm excited”.“Fine. I’ll go and watch the news”. Vanessa announced and immediately hung the call. “Is this a prank or something? This should better be good news that can help my father's surgery”. Vanessa murmured as she went to her living room and switched on her tv.After changing the first channel to breaking news, Vanessa couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing and gasped in disbelief. “My- my company is saved and still mine?!”. Vanessa exclaimed and instantly, a drop of tears escaped from her eyes. “My life's hard work which is my company is saved!”. Vanessa repeated before she climbed her sofa and was jumping happily on it.The time didn't take long and the cell phone in Vanessa's hand started vibrating uncontrollably because of the huge amount of messages it was receiving.Vanessa quickly opened her phone and was surprised because of the great numbers of individuals that re-invested in her company. “Tsk…. Just look at these greedy people. When my company was facing huge trouble, they all backed out, but now that my company is back and stronger than ever, they even invested twice than previously”. Vanessa said out loud in a mocking tone before she later scoffed.“But wait, how the heck was my company saved? Didn't it go bankrupt? Could this be….”. Vanessa covered her mouth in disbelief before she added, “This is Xavier's doing! This is the surprise he meant to show me! This is unbelievable. Just, what's the real identity of Xavier?”.“Anyways, this is not the time to be surprised. I have to hurry up to the hospital and pay for Dad's surgery since I have the money now”. Vanessa declared to herself before she rushed into her bedroom to prepare.When Vanessa entered her room, she walked straight to the bathroom and it took her only a few minutes to be done brushing and bathing.Soon, Vanessa wore her favourite clothes, an ash sweatsuit. After this, she later came out from her apartment and shut the door before rushing to her car that was located down the building.After Vanessa entered her car, she drove off instantly to the hospital.The hospital,Eric was pacing back and forth outside his father's ward when his eyes suddenly met Vanessa who was approaching.“Big sis, you're finally here!”. Eric ran and confronted Vanessa after he said this.Vanessa stared around her, and when she didn't see who she was looking for, she asked Eric, “Where's Mom and Derek?”.“Oh, they're inside the ward with our father”. Eric simply replied before he asked Vanessa a question, “We- were you able to come up with the money for father's surgery?”.“Eh? Why do you ask?”. Vanessa was surprised and asked.“I didn't mean to be nosy, but I sort of inquired about our father's surgery bill. Damn, it was a lot, that was why I was worried and asked you”. Eric explained.“Don't worry, I got everything covered, Eric”. Vanessa admitted before she added with a genuine smile, “My Diamond V company is back”.“Thank goodness”. Eric simply stated before he realised what Vanessa had said and exclaimed, “Wait, what?! Your Diamond V company is back?!”.Vanessa nodded at Eric and chuckled when she saw how he opened his mouth wide in disbelief.After chatting a little more with Eric, Vanessa went to pay the surgery f*e before finally visiting her father's ward. Mr Williams was laying on the bed when Vanessa arrived. “Vanessa honey, is that you?”. “Yes father”. Vanessa hurriedly replied before rushing to stay by Mr Williams' side. “I heard from the boys, you paid for my surgery?”. “Of course I did, father. Now, all you have to do is to get better and we'll become a big happy family once again”. Vanessa announced with a smile. “I heard from Eric that my surgery bill is super expensive”. “Eric, you big mouth!”. Vanessa said out loudly before she turned and glared at Eric who was behind her. “What were you thinking when you told our father about the bill? What if he had a heart attack in the process?”. Vanessa questioned. “I- I couldn't keep the truth all to myself, so I told Dad, Derek and mom”. Eric explained and immediately stopped talking when he saw the way Vanessa was glaring at him with threatening eyes. Mr
It wasn't a long drive and Cole made it back to Xavier's mansion. As soon as Cole parked the car in a perfect spot, he quickly came down from the driver's seat and walked to the back door. Cole stretched out his hand and was about to open the door for Vanessa, but she beat him to it by opening the door first. “Don't worry about opening the door for me…. As you can see, I also have hands”. Vanessa said to Cole before helping herself out of the car. Soon, she went to the car boot and was about to bring out her luggage.“I'll bring the luggage, ma”. Cole insisted and refused to let Vanessa do anything by herself again. After sighing deeply and massaging her temples, Vanessa said to Cole, “No need for the formality….”. “Cole. My name is Cole”. Cole introduced himself when he noticed that Vanessa was having trouble mentioning his name since she didn't know his name. “Alright, Cole. No need for the formality. Just call me Vanessa, I'm totally okay with that”. “Alright, mada…. I mean,
Vanessa came outside and was still complaining about how Mrs Charlotte was treating her like a baby, when all of a sudden, Cole approached her and offered to drive her to the company. “Don't worry, I don't want to bother you, Cole. I'll just take a taxi”. Vanessa admitted this since she didn't bring her car when she came to the mansion last night. “You're not bothering me at all, Vanessa. Please, enter the car”. Cole pleaded and even opened the car's back door for Vanessa to enter. Staring at Cole for a while and noticing how persistent he was, Vanessa willingly gave up and entered the car. Soon, Cole entered the car too and drove off. It took longer than expected to arrive at Diamond V company because of the traffic, but as they arrived, Vanessa immediately came down from the car. “Should I pick you up later in the day?”. Cole suddenly suggested. “Don't worry about me at all, I'll return to the mansion by myself”. Vanessa announced before she hurriedly left Cole and enter
“Don't worry Vanessa, as long as you do as we say and don't get on our nerves, we won't report to your CEO to fire you”. Nicholas announced with a smile and smiled even more when Vanessa appreciatively smiled back at him. “Although I'm super annoyed because of what you guys did to me, I'm still a little glad”. Vanessa admitted before she curiously asked, “So, what do you guys want me to do?”. “It's easy, Diamond V company is currently stronger, competent and successful compared to before. I bet the new CEO is a genius…. Anyways, I want the new CEO of this company to partner with my father's company. In that way, my father's company would quickly build up all over the world”. Alexa explained. “But, what does that have to do with me?”. Vanessa didn't understand and asked. “I want you to help me and Nicholas, by speaking with your new CEO on our behalf”. Alexa explained before she threatened Vanessa, “If you can't, remember I can get you fired here”. “Sure, sure…. I will do
“Big sis, why aren't you saying anything?”. Eric curiously asked when he didn't hear Vanessa's voice for a while. “Em…. My apartment's passcode is 5790”. Vanessa announced. Eric inserted the numbers on the door passcode lock, and immediately the door unlocked, he announced to Vanessa, “Alright, got it. The door is unlocked already”. “But big sis, where are you right now? Aren't you coming back home already?”. Eric added. “No need to wait for me, I won't be returning anytime soon”. Vanessa massaged her temples as she declared. Soon she raised an eyebrow and added, “Anyways, I should be asking what you and Derek are doing at my apartment. Why didn't you brats stay back at the villa?”. “Bye, big sis”. Eric said and immediately ended the call. “Hello. Hellooo?”. Vanessa said repeatedly before she stared at her cell phone's screen and noticed that Eric had already hung the call. “That brat!. He didn't even reply to my question”. Vanessa gritted her teeth in annoyance as she said
“Fine! You brats can start working in my company. Follow me, and don't you dare ask me any question”. Vanessa massaged her forehead as she announced. Soon, she left her apartment, causing Derek and Eric to immediately follow her. On the way, Derek couldn't keep silent and said to Eric, “Is our big sister hiding any secrets from us? Is that why she couldn't answer your question and even let us work in her company?”. “I was also wondering about that, little twin”. Eric replied. “Keep it shut, you punks, before I change my mind about letting you guys work in my company”. Vanessa threatened, because even though Eric and Derek were behind her, she could still hear their voices. Upon hearing Vanessa's threat, Derek and Eric stopped talking and quietly followed her. When they all arrived outside, Vanessa entered her car and sat in the driver's seat, while both Eric and Derek sat in the back seats. Before Vanessa drove off, she announced, “My little twins, your jobs would be an easy
Just like a breeze, a week passed. Vanessa had been going to her company everyday without taking a break because she didn't want her little brothers to cause any mess for her since they also come to work in her company everyday too. Ever since the moment Eric and Derek started working in Vanessa's company, she made them work in her office because that's the only way she could keep a close eye on them. Currently, Derek and Eric are in Vanessa's office, and she was with them. “I've been meaning to ask you this question, big sis. For the past week, where have you been staying?”. Derek's hand was placed under his jaw as he questioned. “Yeah, I wanted to ask the same question. I mean, after work, you always drive me and Derek back to your apartment. But what about you? You haven't slept in your apartment for seven days and counting now”. Eric said and was already expecting Vanessa's reply, but soon, he pouted his lips and furrowed his eyebrows when he saw that Vanessa continued re
Mrs Charlotte remained silent after she said to Xavier. “You can continue what you were doing”. Xavier simply said to Charlotte and ascended upstairs to his bedroom. Upon arriving inside his bedroom, Xavier removed his shirt and entered his bathroom. Soon, he stood under the shower after switching it on. “Where could she be at this late hour?”. Xavier muttered, his voice was husky and deep.Xavier remained in the bathroom until he finished bathing. And after he finished bathing and putting on his casual clothes, he went to Vanessa's room, but she still hasn't returned. Checking the time in his cell phone, Xavier saw that it was almost past midnight. “I'll find her myself”. Xavier said to himself before he came out from the Mansion and walked to his car. Xavier got into his car, he sat in the driver's seat and drove off. Actually, unknown to Vanessa, Xavier knew where her apartment was located. Xavier was able to arrive at Vanessa's apartment quickly because the road was less bu
