Dirty Secrets Chapter 96
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

NatashaMy world is crashing right before my eyes and there is nothing I can do about it. It’s as if my hands are tied and that can be frustrating. I’m tempted each day to take alcohol but this damn baby always stops me. I’m six months gone and I don’t think alcohol is going to do both me and the baby any good.I walked aimlessly into my house, having fired all the staff in the space of one week, and there was no one to say a word to me. My temper and their clumsiness weren’t agreeing hence the reason each one keeps walking out of that gate each day.My feet carried me to my mum’s room. I stopped outside her door, placed my head on it, and wrapped my hand around the door knob. Inhaling and exhaling loudly, I tried to keep myself from crying. Forty years in imprisonment isn’t life; I guess she’ll be out by the time she’s ninety-five.A stifled cry escaped my throat as I opened the door and walked into her room. My son will be forty years by the time she’s out! This is fucking ridiculou

Angela Why do I keep receiving shocking news? Now here’s the most shocking thing; I always suspect my husband whenever I receive news like this.With the apple MacBook in one hand and a glass of juice in the other hand, I raced up the stairs to Xavier’s office. This wasn’t part of the plan, I thought he was supposed to pay her, what was the need to do this to her?Pushing the door open with more force than needed, I flounced into his office. Xavier looked up from his laptop due to the loud bang sound from the door. He arched his brow at me before returning his attention to the laptop as if I didn’t just walk into his office.I opened my mouth to state the reason for my dramatic entry, but he lifted his index finger, shutting me up. My brows cinched into a frown at his rude behavior.“Five hundred is the least I can offer you Lambat.” That was when I caught sight of the EarPods in his ears. “You’re not my only client Lambat, and I refuse to make you one, so it’s either you take the fi

Xavier Like in the cinema, I watched everything play out. The internet is going crazy due to Veronica’s disappearance. The few who didn’t believe that Vera killed her husband claim that Veronica ran away because she couldn’t bear the guilt of giving false testimony in court. The other few claimed that Natasha did something to her for speaking the truth in court. They strongly believe that Natasha knows something about her father’s murder and should be investigated too. Others also claimed that Veronica was paid to testify, and the person who paid her has silenced her so she wouldn’t speak the truth later in the future.Natasha on the other hand has been quiet. According to Angela, she returned to the office but the board immediately held a meeting, requesting or more like ordering that she avoids the office environment for now because the press has nothing good to write about her. She’s slowly losing her support and it’s only a matter of time before they tell her to step down as the

Angela I was so engrossed in work, making the finishing touches to everything we’ll be needing for tomorrow’s event. This is the biggest fashion show this company has ever held, and in collaboration with other fashion companies, I do not want to be the one to mess things up. Theoretically speaking, this is the first fashion show that I have organized and supervised. Things should go well, It should be perfect. I heard a soft knock on the door before it opened. Ready to scold Genevieve for disturbing me, I looked up only to catch the sight of my husband Xavier Ellmord. My eyes fell to the clock out of reflex. It is sharp two in the afternoon. Two hours on the dot, not even a minute late. Kill me. I totally forgot that he’s coming to pick me up so we can shop for my dress.“It always pains my heart anytime I do not receive the warm welcome I expected from you,” Xavier complained. He walked over to my table, leaned down, and kissed my lips. “If you didn’t miss me, I did.”Smiling li

Susan“This is different from the rest, I can feel it and I know it. What I feel for him can’t be compared to what I felt for others. This goes beyond mere infatuation with his fine face. I want more from him.” I need more from him.Mary stopped painting her lips with the lipstick and stared at me with furrowed brows. “You say this same thing about every guy that you’re about to get obsessed with.” She responded. “Maybe I should put a call across to Mrs. Stevenson.”Mrs. Stevenson is my therapist or should I say was and I hate it when someone mentions her name in a conversation. “I’m not crazy Mary, stop insinuating that I am.”“I’m not saying that you’re crazy,” she drawled out slowly, choosing her words carefully. I mean, she has to; the last time she got me upset while I was driving, I sent us crashing into a traffic pole. “All I’m saying is that it isn’t right for you to feel this way for someone.”“Why?” I increased my speed. “Why am I not allowed to love someone?” Mary’s hand he
