Dirty Secrets Chapter 12
Angela It’s official. I’m a coward. I’ve not being to work for the past three days. Yes, I called in sick because I couldn’t take in the fact that I might see Xavier again or possibly run into him on my way to work. Yes. I know Philippine is a big place, and Cavite city is also big, which makes the chances of running into Xavier thin, but it’s Xavier Ellmord that we’re talking about here; he makes coincidences possible. Daniel being the most considerate friend is making facing Xavier easier for me. He bought me an engagement and wedding ring, also making one available for himself. But somehow, I do not think this ring will be able to keep Xavier away. After all, his ring did not keep him away. Standing before the floor length mirror, I tried fixing my curls. Not even in the mood to look good, I face palmed myself and heaved into my palms. My door opened and McKenzie ran in, her lips forming a pout. “Mummy!” Turning towards her, I squatted down to her level. “Daniel chowolate had.

XavierHer face when she noticed my presence in the board room isn’t something I’m going to forget in a hurry. I’m not above using the manipulation strategy. Sly was useful in finding the information I needed. All I told him to do is find the flaws of Angela and he told me that she’s too dedicated to her work, then I sent him to find the flaws of the company she works for. That was how I came to know that the company is in need of sponsors for their upcoming fashion week.I have the money to spare, as long as it will give me enough opportunities to spend time alone with Angela. When she told me that she’s married, I was tempted to kidnap her and lock her up in my hotel room until she signs her divorce papers but then I decided against it.Lucas combed every necessary source, but none tells him that she’s legally married to anyone, which can only mean one thing. She’s trying to push me away using a fake marriage as an excuse, but what she doesn’t know is that a tiny signature on a p

AngelaInsisting that Daniel is my husband was a futile effort. Xavier isn’t stupid, I do not know why I expected him to buy that crap. Staring at the wedding ring wrapped round my finger, I sighed exasperatedly. Another dollar wasted. When he brought up Mckenzie, I almost shit myself.“I know you’re not married to that clown called Daniel and I know that you do have a daughter.” Leaning forward, he placed both elbows on the table. “What I’m yet to figure out is who that little girl belongs to.”“What?” I whispered, trying not to let my shock and fear show. “My daughter isn’t your business, stay away from her.” My warning does not even sound stern to my own ears, how then do I expect him to take me serious?“Why are you suddenly defensive?” He picked up his glass and twirled the content. “Isn’t Daniel the father? You’re supposed husband.”Unable to sit and listen to him. I grabbed my stuffs and slowly stood to my feet. “I don’t care to know the reason why you’re here, but I want you t

XavierI’m getting to Angela and I know it. Last night, although she didn’t reciprocate the kiss, I knew she felt it, she felt the emotions, the message I was trying to convey. She’s holding back and I’m going to break through every wall.Parked outside her apartment, I waited for her to walk out. She’s going to curse at me for showing up this early, but I don’t care. Her front door opened and I leaned forward, anticipating her face and her choice of clothing. What I didn’t expect to see is that extra male in her life, coming out from her apartment this early in the morning.Did he spend the night here? In her arms? It took every self restraint in me not to step out of this car and beat him shitless for even considering that it’s right to spend the night in my woman’s house.He opened the door again and a little girl toddled out of the room. My chest tightened with pain when she smiled at him. She waved her hands in the air, demanding that he lifts her into his arm.That should b

Angela “Are you crazy?!” Daniel snapped at me. He followed me round the house like a lost puppy. “That is the only reason why you’ll be doing this. You’ve gone stark raving mad.” Ignoring his insults, I carried on with my hair. Unable to bear my silence any longer, he grabbed my arm and pulled me to a stop. “I am talking to you Angela! Did he threaten you? Please tell me he threatened you.”Fed up and furious, I stopped pretending to fix my hair and turned to him. “What exactly is your problem?” I bellowed. I’m so grateful right now that Mckenzie decided to go to bed early today. “You don’t get to stand there and talk to me as if I’m about to murder Christ the second time.”“You might as well do it.” He spat. Running his finger through his hair, he began pacing from one end of the room to the other. “You are about to destroy your sister’s home, can’t you see it? You’re about to destroy the very reason why you ran away from home.”I refuse to be talked into guilt again. “Xavier sa

XavierThe moment Angela walked through that door, I first reaction was awe. Despite how many times I’ve seen her beautiful face, I’m always brought to my knees each time she appears.Her face should constantly portray happiness. It pains me that most of the time, I’m blameworthy of her tears and sadness. I hate myself for causing her pain, and for that reason, no one, absolutely no one has the right to make her cry. It took everything in me not to question her about her puffy face when she walked in. Appreciating her was the most important thing at that moment, and now that I’m done with that, I moved to more pressing issues. “You’ve been crying, and I want to know why.”She laughed nervously, trying to blow away the seriousness of the question. “What? You can tell?” My eyes narrowed at her, silently warning her to take the question seriously. “It’s nothing serious Xavier. I was just watching Titanic with_” She paused mid sentence which heightened my suspicion. “With what? Or sh

Xavier A private hospital ward isn’t somewhere I visualized myself to be tonight. Angela got shot on her arm and I insisted that the hospital should pump her with painkillers and sedatives, so she can sleep the pain over. If this happened in New York, I wouldn’t have taken her to the hospital. Hospital means alerting the press, and alerting the press means more work load in shutting them up. Lucas have on the line with me ever since the incident of the shooting. He has been calling not because he’s worried about Angela, but because he’s worried about me. I paid attention to the news as the newscaster reports the shooting incident. Livid, I pressed my eyes shut and massaged my temple. I remember vividly that I told the hotel manager that I want to keep this away from the press, and he told me he’ll handle it. Is this his own way of handling it? This is what happens when you let an idiot that you know nothing about handle issues for me. I’ve never been to Philippine except now, so I
Dirty Secrets Chapter 19
Angela I have never been shot before until now, and I must tell you, that bitch hurts like a motherfucker. Trying to remember or figure out what happened was a futile effort. One minute Xavier was hugging me and the other minute we were on the floor with Xavier’s body trying to protect mine.When I opened my eyes almost an hour ago, I saw Daniel seated close to me with no sign of Xavier. I panicked. For a moment I thought something bad had happened to him. Daniel tried to reassure me that everything is fine, that he only stepped out to get some things and also change into something better, but I refused to trust his words. I was convinced that he was lying to me until Sly confirmed that he’s saying the truth, that Xavier just stepped out. Only when did I relax.Daniel left few minutes ago to get me my personal stuffs and clothes to change into because I feel this hospital gown is ridiculous. Before he left, I asked after Mckenzie and he told me that she’s with his parents.Xavi
