AngelaWe were halfway through the meeting when Natasha rushed into the conference room. She looked around like a manic, her accusing eyes zeroing in on every board member in the room. “Does anybody want to explain why there is a meeting, going on in my company without my knowledge?”Everybody began to murmur and being the lovely business partner and representative of the board, I stood to my feet and approached Natasha. “Didn’t your secretary call you?”“I was an hour's drive away from the company.” She hissed through clenched teeth. “Couldn’t you all have that patience until I arrive before you start selling me off?”Selling her off? Does she think that’s what this meeting is about? “Nobody is selling you off sister. As a matter of fact,” I gestured towards the board members. “I was actually singing praises to your name. I told them how you’ll be a wonderful CEO.” Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. “You don’t believe me? Fine. I’ll let your secretary brief you on the meeting before we
Xavier I can feel it. Things are about to get better between Angela and me. Offering to take her on a date wasn’t on my schedule tonight. As a matter of fact, I had no plans of returning home tonight, but then the moment felt right, and I blurted the dinner date out. Lucas strutted into the private booth where I’d been for the past hour. I have a meeting with one of our distributors in the next hour, so I can as well wait it out. “Bossman!” He splayed out on the black sofa. “I just received a call from Adam. He has arrived in London.”“Good to know. Inform him to start working on finding a spy for me asap.” I need Martinez's attention divided and I want that excuse of a son he has to spend some time in jail.“I’ll do that right away bossman.” He typed away on his phone for a few seconds before returning his attention to me. “I’m curious about something bossman.”I regarded him wearily. “Aren’t you ever curious?” He chuckled. “What is it this time?”“Natasha. Is the baby not really M
AngelaXavier skimmed through the menu, trying to select what to eat, and instead of doing the same, I just stared at him as if he’ll disappear if I take my eyes away from him.“Like what you see?” Xavier asked huskily, the menu and the waitress long gone. I didn’t even order anything. “I know that I’m devilishly handsome, but I didn’t think it was enough to hypnotize you like that.”This man’s ego is bigger than I can imagine. Snorting in an unladylike manner, I pushed back to my seat. “Don’t flatter yourself, Xavier. Yes, you’re a good sight for the eyes, but hypnotizing? That’s just your man ego speaking.”He laughed throatily at my words. “You’re the only one who can insult my man's honor and I’ll still find it irreversible sexy.” Xavier crossed his hands. “You’re lucky that I love you.”Shaking my head, I picked up the menu again. “I wasn’t able to pick what I wanted,” I informed Xavier. Maybe he’ll call the waiter back and have him take my order. When Xavier didn’t say a word, I
Xavier The hotel suite per my order has just one room. Just as I expected, it was the first thing Angela checked when we walked into the room. Her eyes narrowed as it dawned on her that there is only one room available. “You planned this didn’t you?”Shrugging off my jacket, I laid it carefully on the sofa. “I made my intentions very clear at the restaurant. I want to spend the night with you in my arms. I won’t be able to do that if we sleep in separate rooms.” Sue me, but I am a man that wants what I want. “Sly should be here soon with some of our toiletries. What do you want to do till then?”Although she’s trying to appear mean and unhappy with the arrangement, I can see the smile dancing on her lips. “I don’t know big guy. You planned the evening, you can as well tell me what you have in mind for us.”Starfishing the bed, she stared at the white ceiling. “Do you own this hotel too?”I do not own everything here in New York City. “No, but a friend of mine does.” Making myself comf
NatashaYou can’t break a broom when it’s in a bunch, it’s much easier to break when it’s just a broomstick. Xavier and Angela. It will be very difficult to fight them when they’re together, which is why I have to separate them before attacking.There is a saying that goes ‘use what you have to get what you want and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.Retouching my lipstick, I picked up the landline and gave Perry a quick call. “Has Ms. Angela shown up for work today?”“I’m not sure ma’am, but I’ll give a quick call to her secretary’s desk to confirm.” I slammed the phone down, disconnecting the call. She called back a few minutes later. “Yes ma’am, she just showed up.” Grinning widely, I disconnected the call.The plan is to make sure that Angela sees Xavier walk into my office. I’m pretty sure that Xavier will never tell her about the baby; not when he already told her that he never touched me throughout our marriage.Wanting to make my bump more obvious, I discarded the jacket. Ten
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
