Dirty Secrets Chapter 89
XavierShe wasn’t supposed to tell the story; I know how uncomfortable she’s going to be telling the story and the more I watch her pick her pinky finger, the more I want to reach forward and wrap my hands around Miller’s neck for letting things get this far.This is partly Shun’s fault; he shouldn’t have brought up anything about the company. This case should have been strictly for Derek’s murder. My fist clenched and unclenched on my thigh as I watched my wife struggle; I promised her that everything would be fine, yet there she is, out of my reach, uncomfortable as hell.“It all started when I met my husband Xavier on a plane back from Mexico. We hit it off immediately but he failed to give out his last name, his principles I guess. We had fun before I returned to my family to meet my sister’s fiancée who I’d never seen before, nor did I know his first name. Natasha always referred to him by his last name.”She took a deep breath. “I got home that day only to find out that the guy

Angela “None of your business, but if you want to find out, then you can stick around.” I watched Xavier get into Miller’s car. “You think I’ll be allowed into that car?” I questioned Lucas.He chortled. “None of my business remember?”Asshole. Trying my luck, I approached the car and tapped on the windows twice. Xavier rolled down the window. He arched his brow at me. “I remember telling you to wait in the car.”Shrugging, I opened the back door and got in. “I don’t always do as I’m told,” I responded nonchalantly. Xavier hissed in response. “So, I know you both are discussing the case, and I want to be let in on the plan.”Miller looked at Xavier for permission to continue whatever he was saying and I almost clipped him on his head. Although skeptical about it, Xavier nodded. “I’d like to use this opportunity to let you know that you did a good job in there.”I highly doubt it; I bet my ass he’s saying that to keep Xavier happy. “Thank you, Miller, although I was expecting a congra

XavierAngela’s willingness to free Mateo leaves a bitter taste in my mouth every damn time. I had to keep myself from asking crazy questions because she has been through a lot that day; If I should go ahead to demand why she wants Mateo roaming around, it might not end well for both of us; I mean it already got tense when I mentioned Aaron’s visit to her room on our wedding day.How dare she call me unbelievable when she’s always hiding things that she ought to tell me? “You want to know what’s unbelievable?” I took a deep breath, willing myself to calm down “What’s unbelievable is the fact that Aaron paid you a visit in your room at the villa on our wedding day and you failed to mention it to me.” My jaw clenched. “Why is that?”“It’s not what you think.” She whispered.“You definitely do not know what’s going through my head right now.” I want to shoot the motherfucker for seeing my bride before me. “You do not know what I’m thinking Angela.”“He only came to search for his little

XavierAaron is still in New York, my men confirmed it. He agreed to leave New York with his father this morning; it’s mid noon and the fucker is still in New York. I know he’s still here for only one reason.To say goodbye to Angela as he said. That bastard lives to annoy me.Pushing the door to the warehouse open, I stepped into the room, almost getting blinded by the bright studio light. Oliver who has a thorny whip bowed slightly toward me. “Good afternoon boss man.”This afternoon is indeed a good one; what a beautiful sight to behold. “A lovely afternoon to you too Oliver.” I stared at a bloody Mateo. “I love it when you get creative.”Mateo smiled with bloody gummy teeth. “See who decided to come out of his lair.” He taunted with a smile involving more gums. “What? Have you decided to put an end to this nonsense?” Being raised in a mafia family involves training your body to be resistant to pain. You feel less pain than a normal person.“I’m sure you aren’t stupid enough to bel

AngelaXavier has the guts to behave as if nothing happened; as if he didn’t accuse me of having an affair with Aaron. I know he didn’t mean that, but he’s too stubborn to take it back. I’ll teach him to apologize when he’s wrong.Natasha hasn’t shown up in the office yet after the board temporarily suspended her. I’ve been running the day-to-day activities of the company and trust me, I feel so good while doing that. The sudden news that I once worked for a company that steals design from our company doesn’t settle well with the workers. Although not in my presence, I know the murmur and gossip.Don’t get me started on the board members. I’ve been expecting a sudden board meeting to discuss the recent development, but to my greatest surprise, I haven’t heard anything from them. That doesn’t mean I’m relaxed; if anything, I’m more anxious. Silence could mean that they are planning something that they definitely won’t like, or that Natasha is using the situation to her advantage; after

XavierMy office could be considered the center of this building. I could see everything happening in this house. Every CCTV camera is connected to one of the computers in my office, as well as the security room. Nothing happens in my absence once I’m seated on this seat. Even in my absence, I could always replay the events of the day that happened while I was away.With a whiskey glass in my hand, I watched Angela through the CCTV camera as she stomped towards my office. Sly followed her quietly, his face contorted into a deep frown. I think he understands the fact that he fucked up big time and I’m going to punish him for that.I wouldn’t say Sly is my favorite, or that I’m too fond of him, but for whatever reason, I’ve always let him off the hook anytime he fucks up. When Angela was kidnapped by that lunatic, I made sure to punish all my men who were supposed to protect her but failed to do so.The security men at the gate lost a finger before I fired them, but Sly, whose only job

AngelaReturning to court is like returning to a new different reality. For the past few days, I’ve forgotten the fact that we still have a murderer to put behind bars. Sitting with the rest of the family, I watched people, one young lady to be particular being called to be witness stand to give her testimony. According to what Fredrick informed the crowd, the young lady whose make is yet to be mentioned is one of the domestic staff of Shirley's family.Throughout my life as a Shirley, I’ve never seen this young lady before. To my best knowledge, she never worked for the Shirleys, but then who am I to say? After all, I left home for over three years.Miller stood up to interrogate the young lady who is known by the name Clarissa. If anyone can figure out that she’s full of shit, then it’s definitely Miller. He has a way of figuring out a lie from the truth, and he also happens to have a talent for being able to conceal without unease whatever lies he wants the crowd or the people to

XavierVeronica may have been paid by me to testify against her sister in court, but I never gave her the content of her testimony. She is to say what she knows, but keep her name out of the story. Any implication to herself due to the testimony she renders isn’t any of my business, hence the reason she has to be smart while giving her testimony.Implicating me or Angela with her testimony is out of the question because no matter what she says here about me, I’ll be able to get away from it. With my fingers still intertwined with Angela’s, I gave Veronica my undivided attention, ready to hear whatever she was willing to spill.“It all started two months before Mr. Derek was killed.” She glanced at Vera whose eyes are glassy from the pain of having her twin sister betray her. I guess this wouldn’t have happened if she treated her nicely. Betrayal comes easy when the other party feels betrayed.“Vera rushed into my home one day, looking all panicked. When I asked her what the problem w
