Author’s Note
First, I want to apologize to my readers for disappearing for a whole month.
This last month has been super stressful and crazy for me.
For all those who chatted me up on my social media page to find out what's wrong, I truly appreciate your concern.
I'm back to daily update.
I assure you that something like this won't happen again until we are done with the journey of Xavier and Angela.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
I'm super excited to return to this journey and I'm glad to have you all with me.Expect more drama and twist.
I love you all... X

XavierTampering with her locks and making myself feel at home wasn’t the best option, but then I’m not welcomed here, not that I wanted to be. The mixed-match sofa and the leaking roof speak a whole lot about her living condition. She gave everything up without a fight and settled for a life that I’ll never find myself in. Lucas, who is equally uncomfortable being in here, opted to sit on the wooden dining seat. That looks like the only seat which is free from bugs.If the reports I’ve gotten from my men are accurate, she should be home by now. Trying not to be impatient, I made myself comfortable on the kitchen island.Lucas snickered. “You gotta be careful up there boss. We do not want broken woods tearing into your asscheeks.” I’m in no mood for jokes, so I let this joke slide without showing any sign of humor. Lucas got the point. “She’s home.”At his words, the front lock clicked, followed by the sound of the door opening. Silent footsteps filled the room, then a sudden light

Angela I’m trying not to let Natasha’s words get to me but then, we are only humans. No matter how hard we try, our minds will always take us back to previous events of the past, and mine is leading me to my conversation with Natasha.Blinking rapidly, I tried to focus on the paperwork before me but then that too was futile. The door opened, the sound distracting me for a bit. Xavier strolled in like he owns the building.His love for black color makes me want to jump on him and kiss him senselessly. His black suit, black shirt, and black jacket make him look cool with his jet-black hair.Xavier will look cool in anything.“With the way you conversed with me over the phone, I expected you to jump on me the moment I walked through that door.” His arrogance isn’t new to me. Xavier placed a plastic bag on the desk, rounded it, and grabbed my jaw. “I missed you.”Before I could respond, he leaned down and placed a kiss on my lips. At first, I remained still, contemplating if I should res

Xavier On many occasions, I’m tempted to just kill Natasha and her mother and put an end to this hassle but then when I remember that they almost took my woman away, that they killed an old friend because of his money, I realize that a quick death is nothing but a gift to them.Whatever game Natasha is playing with this baby is just going to end badly for her. I’m going to rip that baby out of her before she gets to ruin my relationship with Angela.“If the baby isn’t yours, that means Natasha is planning something, and you have to be careful.” I can see the worry all over her face which isn’t necessary at all.Something needs to pose a threat to you before you apply the concept of being careful. Natasha is nothing but a statue in this game; I’ll move her when I want to, and aside from that, she’s is just still to me.Before I could reassure Angela not to be scared of Natasha, my phone pinged. Picking it up, I saw a text from Adam.Martinez's next shipment is coming in next week Thur

AngelaNatasha and some of the board members including myself felt springtime should be the best time to host our fashion week, and for that reason, we are expected to bring in new designs for the fashion show.Exhausted from the meeting which lasted more than two hours, I dragged my feet to my office. Sly followed behind, trying to make himself as invisible as he can. “What do you know about falling Sly?” I won’t mind him going through my work before final submission.“Absolutely nothing.” He responded coolly which made me chuckle. He dresses smart all the time, but there is more to fashion than a perfect cloth combination. “Boss man wants you at the club immediately after your meeting.”The small smile on my lips vanished. “At the club?” Did he faint from excessive bleeding? I don’t think so. The wound wasn’t even deep enough. “Is everything okay?”“Yes ma’am.”“Why then is Xavier demanding that I come to the club?” He knows I’m working, and for him to insist that I come over

Angela Lucas huffed at my indirect accusation. “I’m not going to hurt you Angela, so get into the goddamn room. bossman is in there.” It will take more than mere words to reassure me. When it was obvious that I wasn’t moving an inch, he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the room. The sight I saw made me regret coming to this club in the first place. In the middle of the room is an unfamiliar man, chained with both hands up, his face battered beyond recognition. Xavier on the other hand stood next to him with a gun in his hand. I looked at Lucas who simply avoided meeting my gaze. Sly did not even make it into the room. I swallowed nervously. “Xavier? What is going on?” Xavier who looks nonchalant about the whole thing dragged his feet towards me, the gun hanging loosely in his hand. “This young man is an imposter. He is here under the pretense of who he is not, with the intention of bringing me down, or possibly sending me to my untimely death.” That doesn’t explain why he is be

XavierWatching the busy streets while I mulled over what happened three hours ago did nothing to improve my sour mood. The cool breeze from the rooftop and the marijuana cigar did nothing to soothe me in any way.Lucas observed from the sideline in silence. The whisky bottle that I am literally sharing with him hung loosely in his hand. He so much wants to remind me how he warned me not to go ahead with that plan but then he is wiser than that.Any wrong move from him can make me transfer my anger to him which definitely will not end in his favor.Sighing loudly, Lucas joined me to watch the view of the city. “How about we hit the ring? I’ll be your opponent.” No other man round me can match my energy when I’m boxing with fury; I am capable of hitting a man to death with my fist, but Lucas is an exception; he always matches my energy.“Inform Wyatt to cancel all my meeting for the day.” I can as well visit the port when I’m done boxing with Lucas. “Any news on Steven?” Steven is a fr

Angela It’s Saturday, and normally, I would have made a quick stop at the office after dropping Mckenzie at her music class but today, I don’t think I want to be anywhere close to working. Xavier to my surprise hasn’t shown up ever since I left the manor. Not that I want him to come after me, but then letting me go like that isn’t like him. His constant phone calls these last few days have slowly returned to none.McKenzie keeps asking me about her father, she keeps asking me when we’ll be seeing him, and like every damn time, I’ve been giving her the same excuse; so right now, my daughter isn’t even talking to me.For the tenth time, I checked my wristwatch and sighed. “Mckenzie! You are going to be late for class.” She told me that she wants to grab her pink pencil. How long is that going to take her? “Mcken_”The door opened and she stepped out, a permanent frown on her face. “Stop screaming my name mum, you’ll wake our neighbor’s dog.”It was on the tip of my tongue to remind he

XavierI informed Sly that I was coming over which was why he didn’t look alarmed when the front door opened. This is my penthouse, which means that I have the master card for every room in here including the front door.Kenz who was engrossed in the cartoon playing out on the screen didn’t notice me walk into the living room. I had to call her to gain her attention. “Hey, baby.”Surprised to hear my voice, she swiped her head quickly to the right and leaped out off the sofa with excitement when she saw me. “Mummy!”“Yes, baby!” Angela responded from the kitchen space.“Daddy is here!” She leaped into my waiting arms and wrapped her tiny hands around my neck. “I’ve missed you, daddy.”“I’ve missed you too princess.” I kissed her neck and then her cheek before carrying her back to the sofa. “I got some kinds of stuff for you.” Carefully placing her on the sofa, I handed her a plastic bag that contained toys and chocolates.She smiled widely at the sight of the chocolate. “Thanks, daddy
