The next stop was Blessed Orphanage. Xavier knew the children must have missed him,he missed them too. He didn't really understand why he had fallen in love with kids so much. Maybe it was because he ended up being the only child after his younger sister died at four. He became sad immediately he remembered and Amber who was also sitting at the back seat noticed when his countenance changed.
Amber wondered what Xavier would be thinking that got him looking really sad.She wasn't really comfortable whenever he looked this way and decided to ask.
"Is something wrong Xavier?", Amber asked softly as she touched his arm.When he looked at her Amber was shocked to see tears in his house. She didn't even realize what she was doing until she did it. Guess it was an impulse because she hugged him.
"It's okay",She cooed softly. Xavier rested more in the embrace. His tears spilled
“You're fired!”Amber felt her heart break into countless pieces as she heard that. This job had been her lifesaver. She couldn't lose it like that.“Mr. Matt, please reconsider.” She pleaded.“Reconsider you say? This isn't the first, second, or third time I've warned you not to space out while at work, but you never listen. This is the fifth dish you're breaking this week, and I won't have it anymore. Pack your bags!” He yelled and started leaving, but Amber ran after him.“I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again,” Amber apologized while following him, but he didn't even turn to look at her or act like someone was talking to him. Amber ran and stood in front of him. “Sir, please, how about deducting the money for the damages from my pay? I assure you that after that, nothing will happen again.” She pleaded.“Amber, you said that last week and the week before that. What do you take me for? A fool?” He snapped and she flinched.“I'm deeply sorry. I promise for real this time that I won'
The Next Morning…Amber woke up with a throbbing headache and an aching back to make it even worse. Her entire body was one giant ache, from her head to the tips of her toes. Not only did she feel horrible, but she also felt like she had been hit by a bus or something. She groaned as she squinted her eyes to look around.She discovered that she was in an entirely different place. This wasn't her room back at home, so what was she doing here? Where was she? And how did she end up on this… bed? Naked? The last thing she remembered was getting fired and coming to the bar to relieve herself of the pain, but how did she end up here? She tried to remember what happened, but the more she tried, the more fuzzy it became.She ran her hands through her hair and looked to the side to find a man sleeping soundly beside her, and the realization came over her with such force she could have slapped herself.“Shit!” She exclaimed and tears started trickling down her cheeks. “What have I done!” She co
“Rush her to the emergency ward!” The doctor said, and a stretcher was brought. She was placed on it and rushed in, while Sophia followed suit.When they got there, Sophia was asked to wait outside while they attended to her. She paced back and forth as she remembered the doctor's words and prayed vehemently for nothing to happen to Amber.Amber had gone through a lot, that she knew, and now just one single mistake and this had to happen? Her heart ached so much for her friend.A few minutes later, the doctor came out and wiped the sweat that was on her forehead. Sophia rushed to her.“How's she?”“She just suffered from shock and will be fine.” The doctor answered.Sophia sighed in relief. “Can I go and see her?” She asked.“Sure.” The doctor smiled and left.Sophia rushed into the ward and met Amber crying her heart out. She gestured for the nurses to leave and sat beside her, then patted her shoulder.“Why is my life like this, Sophia? Why?” She wailed. “It was only one goddamn nig
Five years later…San Francisco Airport…A woman stepped out of the plane majestically. She wore a beautiful suit and her long brown hair was swept back to frame her face perfectly. Her lips were painted a dazzling red, with just a hint of pink at her chin to offset the contrast. She carried herself gracefully, her movements flowing with ease despite her elegant attire.She had sunglasses on and exuded an air of authority as she made her way towards baggage claim. Once there, she took off her shades to glance around her with an air of superiority. She spotted a man in an expensive suit and walked up to him, greeting him by holding out one hand politely.“Mr. Brown!” She smiled and they shook hands.“Welcome back to San Francisco. How have you been?” He asked.“I'm good, sir. Just one moment, I need to introduce you to my kids.” She smiled and pulled down her sunglasses, so he could see that she meant it with every fiber of her being.“Mummy!” The triplets shouted at the same time as t
"No! This can't be happening!" Amber screamed mentally.How on Earth did she end up with him again? And worse, she was going to stay in the same office with him.Xavier on the other hand, looked at the panicstricken woman in front of him. She looked quite familiar but he couldn't place his fingers on where he had seen her before.Amber felt like the ground should open up and swallow her whole. His scrutinizing gaze was terrifying her and she was holding herself from bolting out of there."I'm sorry, what's your name?" He asked.Amber opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. She cleared her throat and answered. "Amber Wilfred, Sir. My name is Amber Wilfred." She said hoarsely and he smiled."Have you met before?" He asked."No!" She answered immediately and Xavier arched his eyebrows. "I mean, no sir. We are just meeting for the first time. I've been in the States for some years now." She answered, hoping that would divert his attention away from her.Xavier massaged his temple
"Shut up!" Sophia exclaimed. "Are you for real?" She asked.Amber had returned from work, distracted the kids with television and told Sophia all that happened. Sophia, being a fan of Xavier De Vil couldn't believe he was the one her best friend drunkenly had a one night stand with. It looked surreal to her and she didn't know which other emotion to portray aside shock and surprise."I was so shocked and felt like the ground should open and swallow me whole. The tension was much and when he saved me from falling, I don't really know how to describe the way I felt." She said,Sophia chuckled. "Babe, you're very lucky, do you know that?" She asked.Amber furrowed her brows. She looked at Sophia and laughed at the expression on Sophia's face. When Sophia looks like that, it was either she was about to say something crazy or she was up to no good."What do you mean?" Amber asked and Sophia moved closer to her."Xavier De Vil is among this country's top 5 richest young Billionaires, rankin
Amber walked into the kitchen with Sophia trailing behind her."Are you being serious girl!" Sophia said."Please Sophia, I already said I'm not doing it, I love my life like this, I and my kids are happy and the kids aren't even asking me about their father, I've been taking care of my kids by myself for the past five years and I don't have a problem doing so." She stated, Sophia sighed."Alright then, I just thought....""I know you mean the best for I and the kids Sophia, but I wouldn't want to make the mistake of telling the truth to Xavier and what if he takes it the other way huh, if I go to jail or worse have my kids taken away from me, what will become of me then, these kids are my life, they're all I have and God forbid, if I loose my kids then I might as well kill myself and end it all." She said, trying to hold back her tears.Sophia felt really bad for what she's done, she didn't mean to hurt Amber or make her cry but she still managed to do it either ways and she's regret
The building was a huge one with amazing interior and exterior decor.The office buzzed with employees going about their daily activities.Others were seated with their eyes fixed on their laptop.Suddenly they felt a cold chill and they knew instantly that their Boss was in the building."Good morning Mr Xavier." They greeted but he ignored them as usual.He walked briskly to his office and his secretary trailed behind him.He got to his office and he sat and his eyes went up to his secretary and she quickly bowed.Xavier sighed wondering why she was avoiding eye contact."What's on the schedule for today?" He asked.Amber instantly checked the tab she was holding."You have a meeting now Sir." She said softly.Xavier stood up, buttoned his suit and left, with Amber trailing behind him.***Meeting Hall...At table could be seen at the middle of some men, who were dressed in black tuxedo's adorned with black Italian shoes. Bottle waters and laptop were placed on the table. A projecto
