Dirty Secrets Chapter 55
XavierJust as I promised Angela, I made the news disappear after two days. All I had to do was pay the right people and crash the already existing sites carrying the news.Angela and Daniel already began their friendship as per se. She drops by the hospital every day after work, making sure to be captured by the press.“Should I come in with you?” Lucas asked as he stared at Veronica’s house from the window. “she is home alone. Her husband traveled.”“watch the perimeter while I’m in there.” I don’t need nosey neighbors interrupting my discussion with her.“Okay boss.” He turned up the volume of the radio as I got out of the car.I opened the door and got down. Deciding to take the gentleman’s approach, I knocked on the front door twice. I heard splattering footsteps before the door opened.Dressed in a bathrobe, her hair slightly wet, Veronica opened the door but almost banged it to my face when she saw who was standing outside her porch. Her widened eyes shows that I am the last pe

Sorry about the short and unedited chapter.I’m literally in school struggling for a space to my write my exams.I hope ya all understand me Thanks.NatashaMartinez is drained with his futile efforts to get his son out from police custody. Drugs is a big deal over there and he’ll be facing a really long time in jail if this case gets to court. I’m surprised that he is yet to say anything about my pregnancy news. I’ve been expecting a call from him, or possibly questions about the father of the baby since he never touched me before and after wedding.A trip to London is on my list of things to do. I have to come up with a plan, a better explanation as to how I became pregnant.I’m not above deceptive methods, anything to get him on my side again. He is my only means of fighting Xavier; I am nothing other than a dirt under the shoe when it comes to fighting Xavier. It’s a pity that I gave up my five hotels to him.Betrayal hurts like a bitch. It is so much better when you are t

NatashaPulling my hand away from his, I picked up my coffee cup. “Even though I challenged you to do this, do you think you have what it takes to compete with Xavier Ellmord?” My scrutinizing eyes slowly took in his physique. “You have a nice body build honey, but to beat Xavier, you need to hit the gym very often.”“That shouldn’t be a problem.” He responded smugly “I always love going to the gym, but I haven’t visited recently because the workload at the hotel is weighing me down.”There is no excuse. He doesn’t expect Angela to leave Xavier for someone like him. His muscles can easily go missing inside a suit. “Excessive workload or not, you have to hit the gym.”Lifting his head slowly, he stared at me without blinking and for a moment, he looked intimidating. “I heard you the first time Natasha.”“Natasha?” I scoffed. “You’ll refer to me by my last name.” Placing my hand on the coffee table, I leaned forward and narrowed my eyes at him. “I was married to Xavier Ellmord and I am

XavierRequesting a dinner without a prior appointment isn’t something I would have agreed to had it been a random person. Jackie is really pushing her luck; imagine my surprise when Lucas informed me that she requested a meeting or she’ll show up at my club, knowing the risk factors associated with that.Angela can show up at the club anytime, and I do not want her to run into us; she needs to hear it from me first, not run into us like that.Walking into the Italian restaurant, Lucas guided me to the private booth he reserved for us. Jackie who was already seated stood up the moment she saw me approaching the booth. “I’m sorry for requesting your attention like that.”Sorry? “If you are going to be foolishly brave, you can as well continue with the bravado till the very end.” Pulling out of the seat, I made myself comfortable. “How dare you give me an ultimatum?”Sensing my anger, she looked around nervously. “I’m really sorry. I figured the fact that you are a very busy man, and _”

NatashaThe last time I was here was the day I got married to Martinez. I spent a few days here and then returned back to New York to focus on and handle my business. My days here I can proudly say that I enjoyed and I’m looking forward to seeing someone who made my time here most memorable.Driving into the driveway, I looked out through the window as the driver rolled down the windows for identification. The moment the driver saw me seated in the back seat, he quickly instructed the gateman to open the gate. Bowing his head respectfully, he took a few steps back, allowing my car to drive through.The house looked exactly like it did the last time. Martinez added a few cars to his collections; maybe if things should end well between us, I’ll request one of these Telsa. One of his men opened the door for me, offered me his hand, and helped me out of the car.One of his domestic staff greeted me and helped my driver with my suitcase. “Mr. Wilson wants to see you in his office.”Of cour

AngelaThe news almost made me happy, but the fact that Natasha will be going through a lot right now makes me pity her. Within a few months, she has been divorced by her two ex-husbands. Going through the process of pregnancy all alone isn’t something I’ll wish on anyone, not even my enemy.Xavier has been in a good mood since last night. I’ve asked him severally if he has something to do with this, but I get either kissed or he winks at me, brushing away my question. His actions and mood made me conclude that Xavier has everything to do with this.Glancing at my wristwatch, I was tempted to call and cancel lunch. I’ve been waiting for him for the past thirty minutes and he’s yet to show up. Finally giving up, I picked up my purse and stood up. The exact moment I took two steps forward, the door opened and Daniel walked in. He scanned the restaurant, quickly searching for me and when he found me, he waved and smiled, a smile that I did not reciprocate. Noticing my slight anger, he h

I stomped out of the restaurant, expecting Xavier to chase after me as usual, but he didn’t. Daniel rushed after me instead, quickly intercepted me, and blocked my attempt to open my door.Sly watched us with furrowed brows. He has been standing outside by the car, so he has zero knowledge about what transpired inside.“Let me handle the wheels, Angie.” Daniel requested. “Please. I can’t let you drive like this.”I looked down at my shivering hands. I didn’t even realize that it was shaking. Nodding mildly, I hid my face with massive hairs. Daniel turned to Sly. “You can follow us with the Benz, I’ll drive the Bentley with her.”Sly who is yet to understand the situation nodded regardless. He took the keys from me and watched me closely until I got into Daniel’s car. Daniel started the car, and held the steering but did not make any attempt to drive out of the parking lot. “Where do you want to go?”“I don’t know.” I honestly do not know why Xavier always likes hurting me. “Just take

AngelaPeering my eyes open, I quickly snapped them shut and winced. Remind me not to get drunk in my life again. My head is banging so hard that I’m finding it difficult to keep my eyes open.Inhaling deeply, I summoned inner courage and opened my eyes. The faint light peering in through the small opening in the drawn curtain made me wonder what time it is.Pulling the duvet aside, I sat up. At that exact moment, the door opened and Xavier walked in with his phone placed on his ear. His eyes trapped mine. “Just handle them, Lucas. I do not pay you such a ridiculous amount for nothing. I’ll call you later to know how it went.” He disconnected the call, pocketed his phone, and stared at me unblinkingly. “Hello love.”Still trying to push the headache aside, I crossed my arms. “What time is it?”He stared at the wall clock right in front of me. “Five minutes past seven.” He walked into the bathroom and emerged with the medicine box. “How bad is the hungover?” He asked as he searched thr
