Dirty Secrets Chapter 71
XavierI only left my daughter’s room a few minutes ago, after I was certain that her fever has calmed. Dr. Cowell also left a few minutes ago due to an emergency at his hospital, but he left instructions on what to do in case of the fever returns although, in his words, it is unlikely to return.Lucas is currently in my office, making the calls I instructed him to make before the incident with Kenz whilst I took a quick shower.Standing in front of the bathroom mirror with my toothbrush hanging loosely in my mouth, I wondered what she might be going through right now. Thousands of unanswered questions flooded my head, questions like- has she eaten anything yet? Is she even conscious? Are they tending to her wound or are they careless about it, leaving it prone to infection? Did they allow her to clean up? Or did they leave her in the mess of her blood?Questions that I wished I have answers to are what makes breathing difficult. Sighing, I placed both hands on the sink and bowed my h

AngelaThe whooshing sound in my ear increased each minute which made it difficult to continue sleeping. I really need to see my doctor ASAP. W.H.O enlightened us on the fact that a whooshing sound can be dangerous if frequently experienced.I do not experience this frequently, but the banging headache which accompanied the whooshing sound made me conclude that I need to see my doctor. Maybe I’ll have Xavier drive me.The whispering voices in the background made my brows snap together. None of the staff dare enter our room without our permission, and Xavier isn’t in the habit of whispering around me.Cracking my eyes open, I winced at the pain that shot up to my brain. Out of reflex, I tried massaging my temple but was held back by the sharp pain in my hand stopping me.I tried again, this time opening them slowly. The first thing I captured was the unfamiliar white curtains. My brain processed the information as my eyes took in the unfamiliarity of my environment. Panic set in as rea

XavierTwo days and were yet to make any improvement in finding Angela. I’ve spoken with Adam, and he claims that Martinez isn’t planning anything, at least not to his knowledge. I also questioned him about Mateo and he told me that Mateo has been lying low after his arrest.It’s a thing of total disappointment that the man I sent to spy on Martinez and his son knows nothing about Mateo’s plan to overthrow his father. Just how useless can he be? Just how clueless can he get? I almost told him about the plan so he can look into it, but after much contemplation, keeping that information to myself seemed to be the best thing to do. I can’t be so certain that he still works for me, that he is not intentionally withholding information about Mateo from me.Things are beginning to get messy, and if I don’t get a handle on it, it might get out of hand. Angela was summoned to the station for questioning yesterday, but I gave them an excuse, saying that she was too sick to leave the house. I ca

AngelaOne week with Aaron. The young man confused my calmness as cooperation. Unknown to him, I have everything planned out in my head. My plan is quite simple. Get him to trust me while I heal. I figured that trying to escape with this stabbing pain in my chest and frequent dizziness isn’t going to get me anywhere. I’ll only end up getting caught which will definitely not end in my favor. Ever since I woke up in this place, I’m yet to see Aaron’s brother, the actual person who got me locked up in here. I desperately want to see him, at least I need to know if this was done by someone I know. Identifying the face might help me figure out what’s going on.Buttoning up my shirt, I smiled at myself when I didn’t feel any pain in my chest or any form of dizziness as I bent down to touch my toe. Touching my toe is an every morning routine that I do in other to check if I’m healed enough to think of my escape.Satisfied, I walked out of the room in search of Aaron. We’re the only ones i

Xavier Dressed in a black tux, I clipped a brooch to my left breast, topping off the Versace look. I sent my daughter over to Daniel’s for the night with twenty security details. Daniel, the bastard who doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut kept questioning me about Angela.At one point, he accused me of murder. He went as far as threatening to report me to the cops if Angela didn’t show up by the weekend; a threat I rather find feeble.Whilst giving out his threats, I also dished out mine. I warned him not to do anything that will compromise my daughter’s safety. My men are there to protect her, but at the same, he shouldn’t do anything that will make their work difficult.I promised to watch him drown if anything, any slightest thing; as small as a scratch dents her skin.It was quite painful to watch my daughter happily leave with him a few hours ago. It was as if she preferred the company of that man over mine. I’m not surprised though, just like that man, she blames me for he

AngelaLoud angry voices woke me up. Jumping off the bed, I stared at the door unblinkingly as if expecting the owners of the angry voices to barge into my room.They did.The door opened with a loud noise, the hinges crying out. Aaron was the first to stomp into the room in anger. I’d never seen him this angry ever since I was brought here which made me almost ask him what the problem was.Before I could voice out my question, the reason for his anger walked into the room with a very familiar face, a face I’d seen on the news but never encountered personally. Unable to hold it in, I scoffed with reproach. “Of course, I should have known you were behind this.”Aaron stared at me sharply. “Now isn’t the time to make sarcastic comments Щёки её порозовели.”Mateo chuckled with so much ridicule. “Щёки её порозовели?” He scoffed under his breath. “Не поддавайтесь на врага Аарона, вы в конечном итоге пострадаете.” (Don't fall for an enemy Aaron, you'll end up getting hurt.)I blinked at bot
Dirty Secrets Chapter 77
XavierMateo was trailed to California but my men lost him in the crowd. They’ve been on the lookout ever since, hoping to get a glimpse of him, but then Lucas informed me that he ran into him at the mall today. Retreating my men from California wasn’t an option as there is a possibility that Angela might be held hostage there.“Boss man,” Seth called out in my ear, reminding me that I’m still having a conversation with him. “Everyone has vacated the building. What is your order?”“Bring it down.” I’m going to provoke that bastard in every way possible until he makes a move out of anger. When someone acts irrationally, he is bound to make mistakes and that is exactly what I want him to do.Lucas who has been silently listening to my conversation with Seth shook his head but kept his word to himself until I ended the call. “I don’t think provoking Mateo is the best thing to do right now.” Lucas mused “He might take it out on her.”That is my fear, but then I refuse to sit around, doing
Dirty Secrets Chapter 78
XavierLucas has been hounding my ass ever since I shook hands with Mateo. He can’t possibly believe that I want to strike a deal with Mateo. Lucas was given a simple instruction; handle the business while I handle Mateo but that doesn’t seem to soothe him in any way, not that I care.Walking into ‘Night lives’ uninvited_ who gets an invite for a club? _Chuckling to myself, I advanced deeper into the club. My men have been keeping an eye on the men whom Mateo employed to keep an eye on me.It’s actually not only amusing but also stupid that Mateo thinks his men will stop me from making plans and preparations for him. Meeting one of the bouncers, I slapped wads of cash into his hand. The young man stared at it with confusion. “What are you doing sir?”“Spending my money on you,” I responded with a smile. “And I’ll give you more of that if you point me towards the right direction.”Although still confused, he pocketed the cash. “How about you go straight to the point sir.” He responded
