LOGINHe stared down at his phone and forgot about where he was heading or what he wanted to do. He headed back to his suite and when he got there, he was about to walk in when he decided to go to Charles's suite instead. He walked into the room because the door was open and Charles looked up at him. He was about to speak when he noticed his confused state. Zade sat on the couch next to Charles and just stared.“What’s wrong? You look so lost. Did you find out anything?” he asked, chuckling a little. “I just saw four kids. Two girls and two boys,” he said, drawing his brows together.“Oh… okay?” Charles replied, feeling confused.“Before I saw all four of them, one walked up to me and he told me we have the same haircut. Well, he didn't tell me, he showed me. We had the same haircut.” he said and turned to Charles. Charles nodded, urging him to go on, he still had no idea where he was driving at or what he was talking about. “Okay? You are not the only one with a buzz cut, Zade.” Charl
“What are you doing here?” Xalia asked, pointing the gun at him and he shrugged then looked around the room.“Am I not welcome?” he asked.“No you are not. Leave.” Xalia replied and he nodded. He was quiet for a few seconds then he suddenly stood up and she corked the gun. He paused, raised his brow then took a step forward.“How are the four Ks?” he asked, referring to her kids.“None of your business,” she replied.“Hmmm, I came to see how they are doing... ““Okay, drop the fucking act. I know why you are here, we both know why and you wouldn't have found me if Kylan didn't look up at the camera so now you know where I live so you can leave.” Xalia said and he took a step closer to her and at the same time, looked around.“It's funny you think I had no idea where you lived or anything about you. Just because I let you do what you want doesn't mean that I am not aware,” he replied and looked at her. Xalia wanted to give a response but he spoke up again. “How are the kids? How is K
SIX YEARS AGOXalia watched in horror and he dropped the gun then looked up at her. She took a few steps back in fear as their eyes met.“Get her a doctor,” he ordered and walked away. Xalia stared at the body on the floor and she felt so irritated. She turned away and puked.She felt so exhausted and sick as she did. Leo moved closer to her and watched her. She looked up at him as she breathed heavily and shook her head a little. “I’m sorry. I didn't mean to mess up the floor, I don't feel okay,” she said with her voice trembling and tears welling up in her eyes. “I… I will… will clean it up. I… “ she stuttered and choked on her tears. Leo kept staring at her without saying anything and she had no idea what to do but she was terrified. So terrified that her chest was starting to hurt too. “You are not weak,” he told her and she was confused. “Oh,” Xalia muttered, not understanding him. “You shouldn't be conscious but you are,” he said and Xalia sniffed, having no response she c
“Are you going to carry her in like that?” Parker asked and Leo ignored him. “Boss won't like that at all and you know,” he added, chuckling a bit and Leo sighed. Parker might be a jerk but he was right. He reluctantly placed Xalia on her feet and she winced in pain. Her grip on his shirt tightened and she hurriedly let go of him when she realized he could get mad. She let go of him in such a hurry that she lost her balance and fell. She winced out loud and Leo helped her up while Parker and the other men laughed. Xalia felt so sad and hurt that tears streamed down her cheeks. Oh, so much she has been through and she had no idea why. “You shouldn't cry about that,” Leo told her softly and she sniffed. “Okay,” she muttered and tried to blink back her tears but she couldn't even blink so well. Her eyes were hurting. “Now that I think about it, doesn't she look too dirty and miserable to meet the boss? He wouldn't like this I think.” one of the men said and Parker scoffed.“Since
“I will try to find out who is behind this, ma’am,” Leo said and Xalia kept staring at him. Leo could tell she was thinking so he was quiet.“Don't do anything,” she said and he raised his brow.“Ma’am?”“I said don't do anything,” she said again and Leo nodded despite being confused. “Let whoever is updating it keep on doing it, when they are ready to come out they will. I am okay with it as long as it is not affecting the names on the list,” she added and Leo nodded in response.“Is that all?”“Yes, ma’am,” he replied. His eyes moved to the stairs and he noticed the kids poking their heads out and listening. Kai confidently sat on the stairs and watched. He hurriedly looked away so Xalia wouldn't notice but she already saw his eyes.“So they are eavesdropping?” she asked and he smiled a little before nodding.“Including Kai?” “He is confidently sitting and watching,” he replied and Xalia turned to look behind her. It was true. Three of them ran up the stairs but Kai still sat an
ITALY Xalia walked out of her study and saw Kylan walking in the hallway. He saw her and was about to rush away when Xalia caught him and carried him. “Let go of me,” he whined and she chuckled as she ruffled his hair.“Come on, stop being mad at me.” she laughed and he sighed and frowned.“I’m sorry baby,” she said and he slowly smiled. “Okay, mum. So, do we get to go out… “ he trailed off seeing her glare and he rolled his eyes.“When is our new teacher starting? I need to be smarter than Kaia. I feel smart these days.” he said and Xalia laughed. “You feel smart but you stared right at a security camera,” she said and he gave her a look. “I was curious, you can't blame me,” he replied and Xalia smiled. Kaia walked in the hallway and found them then frowned.“Eww, bonding.” she scoffed and Xalia laughed as she dropped Kylan.“Where is Kai?” she asked as she noticed Kyla walked in too.“We don't know. He is doing whatever he wants somewhere.” Kaia rolled her eyes and Xalia gave
A DAY LATER Xalia wiped her tears and exhaled heavily as she got off the phone with the last person she thought could help her. She had called over ten people who were her business partners or friends but no one was willing to help because of what happened. Apart from that, word already spread i
“What did I do to deserve this? I took care of you and your wife. I gave you everything.” Xalia cried. “It was all supposed to be mine in the first place! You took everything from me, you took my wife from me and she gave everything we built together to you and left nothing for me!” he yelled at X
“What?” Xalia asked, confused and Emily sighed.“Do you need him to dumb it down for you?” she asked, rolling her eyes and Xalia looked at her. Wait, how does she know about this?“You… you know about… “ Xalia stuttered as she felt a lump in her throat.“From the very moment he banged you,” she sa
“What do you have to say about this, Ms. Harper?”“How long have you been trying to sleep with your best friend’s fiancé?”“Do you think this would affect your foundation?”“Ms. Harper, say something.”“There is enough evidence to prove you are guilty. How can you defend yourself?”Xalia stood in f
