Xavier arrived at Arya's villa a few minutes later, and led his way inside. As he strode into the house, he scrutinizes the place, taking in the environment. For the past four years, he hasn't been to the mansion, and he doesn't know what has been happening around. He only gives orders to his personal assistant, and that's all.
He got to the entrance, and a maid was quick to open the door for him. He stepped inside, and met another maid who hurried to welcome him."Good evening Master." She greeted with her hands entangled close to her upper region, and her gaze cast to the ground.Being close to Xavier made her shiver in fear, and a sudden sweat arise between her thighs."Where is your Ms? Go and inform her I'm here to see her." He responded, and spun around to his right. He gave instructions already, there's no reason for her not to know he is around.The maid quickly marched to her room to inform Arya of his arrival. But when she got to her room, after knocking for a few minutes and got no response, the maid pushes her way inside.Arya doesn't respond most times, even when she's inside. It's either you state your reason for coming from outside, or you leave.The maid heard the tap rushing, and figured out Arya must be taking her bath, which is unlike her. Instead of keeping him waiting, she quietly went back to the living room to let Xavier know Arya was in the washroom.Arya, who was in the washroom, wasn't taking any bath, instead she put on the tap to make the maid think she's taking her bath, just to avoid meeting with Xavier.Xavier was engrossed scanning the luxurious living room. He had given her the mansion four years back to make amends for what he did to her at the hotel.Now that he looks at the place, it's no ordinary mansion, but an expensive one that no commoner can afford, even if they have to work for the rest of their lives.The sound of footsteps diverted his attention back to the maid. He saw her walking into the living room, with her gaze cast down."Master, she's taking her bath, please be patient, she will be out soon."'She's taking her bath? What is that supposed to mean? Someone I just met at the bar. Wait, is she trying to seduce me? Does she think I will come for that?' Xavier thought inwardly, but nothing was making sense.He took one last glimpse at the maid, and marched out of the living mansion in disappointment.Arya feared being recognized by him, so instead of showing her face to him, she walked out of the washroom, and followed the maid to the living room, eavesdropping on their conversation.As soon as she heard Xavier march on his footsteps, she heaved a loud sigh she never knew she held, and popped on the floor, with her hands rested on her chest."I can't believe he is this fortunate. He has never visited, why today?" She mumbled, with her eyes closed.~Charlotte got home, and walked into the house. She dropped her bag on the sofa, and slowly sat next to her bag. Her encounter with Xavier kept playing inside her head.She was certain he is the man she had something with four years back, but somehow she didn't want to admit to it. Even though the light in the room was dim, she was able to recognize him, not just his face, but also his cologne.The memories of that night are still fresh in her head, and the only way to avoid it is to denial him.Charlotte was deep in, thought, when her mother strides into the living room to find her lost in thought.She furrowed her brows when she saw her, walked up to her, and sat close, placing her hands into hers. Charlotte snapped out of her thought when she felt someone's hands inside hers."You left happy hours ago, and now you're like this, is there something I should know?" Matilda asked, in a worried tone.She hoped it doesn't have to do with their conversation earlier when she returned from work."Mother, there's nothing wrong, nothing you should know. You know I always tell you everything." She replied, beaming at her.She can't tell her mother that she met the man who took her virginity. Once she does, her mother won't hesitate to drag her out of the house to go and meet him.Four years ago, she followed Charlotte to the hotel to look for the person responsible for her pregnancy, but unfortunately, he was nowhere to be found, and she didn't take a good look at him."I believe in you. Your girls can't see you like this, now put a smile on your face, I will be right back." Matilda responded, and stood up.She came back with a glass of milk, and passed it to Charlotte, who still had a smile on her face."Drink up, Nadiyah made it for you. She insisted on trying, and I had to let her do it. Drink, it tastes excellent."Charlotte, with a wide grin on her face, took the glass to her mouth, and drank from it."Mother, are you sure Nadiyah made this? It tastes wonderful." She asked, and took the glass back to her mouth."When I tasted it, I was flabbergasted. It tastes perfect, your girls are astonishing, and diligent." Matilda complimented."I must be lucky. Are they asleep already?" Charlotte asked, with much excitement."I just put them to bed, they insisted on waiting for you, but I declined, quickly go to their room, I'm certain they are still awake."Charlotte, drop the glass of milk, stood up, and strode to the room. She walked into the room to find them laughing at something Aliyah said."What is making my girls this happy?" They heard, and squeak, making Charlotte laugh."Mummy, did you drink the milk Nadiyah prepared for you?" Aliyah asked instantly, and she nodded and ruffled her hair."How does it taste? I'm sure you enjoyed it? We all did, it was great." Waliyah asked."It was delicious, I enjoyed it, thank you girls.""You're welcome mummy. You have worked hard, mummy, you deserve much more than a milk." They all chorused, and stood up to kiss her one after another before laying back on the bed."Mummy will definitely get her girls a big mansion some day, okay?" She said, and they clapped their hands, excited.Charlotte was so happy having them. She crawled her hands upward, and touched their faces, watching them close their eyes."Good night mummy. We love you." They chorused.The picture of Xavier appeared in her head, as she watches their features.'They look just like him, there's so much lookalike' Charlotte thought, still smiling."No, they don't look like him, it's just my imagination, they can't have such a father." She rejected the thought instantly.WEEKS LATERIt's Charlotte's first day at work. After multiple interview's with different companies in California, she finally got the position of a clerk at the Xi Group, and she couldn't wait to start work immediately.She has undergone a one-week assessment with the company to test her ability for the position she was going to be offered. After the tests, for a whole week, she succeeded, and was asked to resume office.As soon as she touched her lips with a red lipstick, she stood up, picked her bag up, and headed outside the house.Matilda and the girls already left the house for school, she was the only one left behind. She padlocked the door, and marched on her heels to hail a cab.Thirty-five minutes later, she was standing outside Xi Group, one of the biggest companies in the entire California.She marches her way inside, and stopped at the reception with a smiling face."Hello, Good morning." She greeted, the receptionist she met in the lobby.The receptionist lifted her head
After the incident from last time at the men's toilet, Charlotte hasn't bumped into Xavier. It's been three days, and the last day before the weekend. She thought maybe he was on a leave, or probably he was keeping a distance after what happened.Out of nowhere, someone stormed in front of her, making her mind skip. She looked up to see the manager, and cussed underneath her breath. This is her first week since she started working at the company, but she's already been harassed.What annoys Charlotte the most is the fact that she hasn't met the president to report him, potentially all the harassment would have stopped.Charlotte cast her gaze down, she breathe in and out, and lifted her head back up to look at him."We do respect sir, you should have sent for me, and not just storm in my presence like that." Charlotte breathed out.The manager buried his hands in his pocket, and took some calculated strides backwards."You shouldn't have been oblivious, always be conscious. I'm giving
Charlotte returned to her office broke hearted. This wasn't how she envisioned her stay in the company, working as a clerk. She thought if she had seen the president and reported to him, perhaps the president would have talked some senses into him, and the harassment would stop.But unbeknownst to her, Xavier was the president, and he had already prepared a termination of employment for the manager. Harassing employees and trying to make them cajole to your request is not authorized in the employee's manual.Charlotte sat quietly, thinking if she should let him have his way with her, or just resign. But just then, she thought of calling the one person that has been her backbone since she became pregnant.Charlotte quickly picked up her phone and dialed her best friend contact Alley.After multiple ring's, she didn't pick up, and just when she wanted to drop the call, Alley called her back."Hey, sorry about that, I left the phone In my bag." Alley apologized, and switched the call to s
Charlotte arrived at the hotel a bit late due to traffic, and she had to spend some time with her girls, before leaving the house. While she was at home getting dressed up, she received a notification from the manager with the room number.She took the stairs, and strode to the room, he was waiting up for her. She felt her stomach twisted, and it made her uncomfortable. Somehow, she was scared something might go wrong.Charlotte pushed the thought aside, and continued striding to the room number. As soon as she step her foot inside, and closed the door behind, she saw a dead body on the floor and quickly used her hands to cover her mouth to restrain herself from shouting.Before she could regain herself from the state of shock, the door barges open, which made her heart thump. It was like someone was already waiting for her to walk inside.Charlotte vigorously spun around to see the figure, and she came into view with a lady in her mid-thirties, but she doesn't recall seeing her.'Is s
Charlotte was taken back to the cell and locked up. After the mention of the incident from years back, she turned mute, and couldn't say a word. Xavier had to ask them to take her back.He waited for the DPO, who just received a call, and excused himself out of the office. He wasn't sure why he had to come bail her out, but somehow he thought that was the best he could do for her.He was still waiting, when he heard footsteps, and spun around to see the DPO."Mr Xi, thank you for your patience, the call was urgent." He apologized earnestly. Xavier doesn't wait for people."There's no problem. Regarding the lady, I want her released today. She can't stay in there."The DPO was a bit scared, he knows it would be hard to turn him down. "Mr Xi, you Know what you're asking me to do is against the law."Before Xavier could reply, a male cop strode into the office."Boss, the doctor, and the manager from the hotel are here." The cop announced."Right in time, Please let them inside, I was wai
Charlotte and Alley step down from the car. Alley pulled out a twenty box and handed it over to the cab driver.They both turn in the direction of the house. Charlotte was about to march on her heels, but Alley was quick to stop her."Best, you look so calm, you don't look like someone who Just got bailed from the station."Alley expected her to be nervous and disturbed over the incident, but Charlotte looked calm.Charlotte gazes at her toes. She spent the night crying, thinking of how she could convince the cops of her innocent, but thinking no one would believe her, she decided to not panic, the truth will eventually prevail."I'm ashamed of myself, people might think this is the type of life I live, when they find out, I have octuplets.""What are you talking about? No one will judge you. Things like this happen, it's not your fault you fell a victim. We just need to find who used your fingerprint." Alley responded, hoping she won't let the incident disturb her."Best, look at me,
It was Monday morning, Charlotte marched into the company with a tight-lipped smile on her face. The entire California knows what happened, and she's already a center of attention.Charlotte has been acting strong, that's the only way she thought she could overcome it until everything is over, and the murderer is caught.She step into the reception, and was greeted by the receptionist. Most eyes were glued to her, pointing fingers at her, but she turned a blind eye, and ignored their existence."Hey Charlotte, Good morning.""Hello, Good morning. How was your weekend?""It was fine. Please can you give this to the president, I was on my way to his office, but since you're here, don't know if you can help me do it."Charlotte placed her bag on her shoulders."Of course, let me do it." She stretched her hands to collect it. She felt it was an opportunity for her to see him, and appreciate him for what he did for her."Hey, I'm sorry about what happened, I never knew you passed through a
Xavier put off his laptop, he stood up, and wore his jacket blazer. He picked up his phone, and strode out of his office.As he strode out of his office, he met his personal assistant by the door frame, with his gaze down, shivering in fear."I'm on my way to the mansion, Inform Ms Charlotte to go to the station before heading home." Xavier breathes out, and turned a blind eye, not caring if he was shivering.Xavier was mad at him, if he hadn't picked up the wrong Charlotte years back, Arya wouldn't have stayed in his mansion, spending extravagantly for the past four years."Yes, master, I will do that." He responded, and Xavier walked out of the company.The guard, waiting for him, quickly opened the car door for Xavier to get inside."Take me to Ms Charlotte mansion." The guard quickly put on the car engine and hit the road.Xavier stayed quiet, thinking of how to handle the whole situation. Arya has spent extravagantly for the past four years, he never took any action to stop her b
