Dirty Secrets Chapter 91
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

Angela Something fishy must have happened last night. I do not want to accuse anyone wrongly, but last night, I woke up and didn’t find Xavier on the bed, I assumed he left in the middle of the night to handle work issues in his office, but when I went to his office, I didn’t find anyone there; as a matter of fact, I didn’t find Xavier anywhere around the house. I had contemplated calling but decided against it when I noticed that Lucas too was absent.Imagine waking up to the news that Hailey Dante died in a fire outbreak in her own house. Painting my lips red, I grabbed my black handbag off the bed and walked out of the room. Kenz left for school an hour ago, so I do have any reason to head to her room first.Luckily for me, Xavier was all alone in this office when I walked in. Dressed in a navy blue suit with his hair styled backward, he searched for a file frantically. He was too invested in finding whatever he was searching for that he didn’t hear me walk into his office.“Did y

Xavier Listening to the young man talk is the most tiring event of the day. We all know why we’re here, so I do not understand the need to stress it out by having this young man stand and talk the same thing repeatedly for over an hour. The bottled water did nothing to help the situation. The perfect liquid for this situation is whiskey, scotch, Brandy, or vodka; anything but water. I’m doing this for Angela, she’s the only reason I’m seated calmly and tolerating this offensive sound in my ear.For the tenth time, they picked up the file again and read through it, taking their goddamn time. Biting my tongue, I picked up the bottle again and emptied the content into my mouth, slamming the bottle on the table. It’s either they didn’t notice my anger, or they pretended not to notice.Taking my eyes and attention off them, I looked around the booth, observing anything other than the humans before me. Time ticked away with my level of patience. Sniffing loudly, I grabbed the water next to

Angela Never in my wildest dream did I think I’ll see that lady who had the guts to attempt kissing my husband. Does she know what I did to claim those lips as mine? She’s lucky I didn’t drag her skull across the beach or toss her body into the sea.Xavier told me to be professional with her, to keep things cool and professional, I should avoid meeting her alone or outside the office environment, and lastly, he told me not to bait her into a fight, he insists that if a need like that arises, I should alert both Sly and Jeremy.Yep, Xavier added another security after signing a deal with Xo Com. I think there is something Xavier isn’t telling me about and I intend to find out. I find it strange that he didn’t say anything about Sly that day I met with Aaron, but with the sudden appearance of Jeremy, I hope he isn’t trying to replace him with Sly. I will not have that.Xavier also employed new security for McKenzie. A young man who never smiles. Not that I’m trying to be rude or anythi
