“Wait, Claire? Isn't Claire the same person that assisted you from the very scratch with your company?”. Finn was stunned and questioned. “Yes, it's the same Claire”. Vanessa replied and instantly, her eyes darkened as she felt really betrayed. Seeing the dark look on Vanessa's face, Finn smiled and asked, “So, what are you going to do now?”. “It's obvious, I'm going to get her fired from my company immediately”. Vanessa declared. Something later popped inside her head and she began to imagine, ‘Wait, since Alexa doesn't know I'm still the chairman of my company, that'd only mean one thing. Claire played both me and Alexa! And since Alexa didn't know Claire's face, it means that Claire helped Alexa and Nicholas in the shadows! What a cunning lady!’. “Something on your mind?”. Finn already noticed that something was going on with Vanessa, so he asked. “Yes. I figured out that Claire played both me and Alexa. I'm certain that she wanted to ruin us both, so that she could be the
It was already 5pm and Vanessa was still in her secret lair. Actually, she woke up a while ago and had to eat lunch first since she was hungry. In no time, Vanessa went ahead and carried her laptop before turning to face Finn. “Any problem?”. Finn saw that Vanessa was staring at him, so that was the reason he questioned her. “Em, actually, I came up with an idea just now, Finn. I don't want my secret lair to be found out by anyone, so, I want this whole building to become functioning once again…. Just like the previous years”. Vanessa announced. “Wait, you want to reopen the cyber cafe to customers?”. Finn asked in disbelief as he had already understood what Vanessa was talking about. “Yeah. And in that case, you're going to be the boss around here, Finn. Just like old times”. Vanessa added and winked an eye at Finn. It didn't take long and Vanessa already noticed the dull face of Finn. “What is it? Are you alright?”. “I know that this cyber cafe building was registered unde
4 days later, It was finally the day for Xavier's father's birthday. Vanessa cleared up all her schedules for today, so that she would be available to fulfil her own part of the deal with Xavier. It was already 4pm, and Vanessa had already dressed up. She was wearing a long green-gown which reached her feet, and black heels. To be fair, Xavier actually bought this green designer dress for Vanessa. Although Vanessa didn't know the reason why Xavier gave her the gown, she still went ahead and wore it. Plus, Vanessa wore light pairs of green earrings, and to finish up, she took the green purse that was in her wardrobe. “I better go out”. Vanessa muttered after she was finished dressing. She came out from her room and soon descended the stairs, where she saw Xavier. He was waiting for her in the living room. And he was also in a black tuxedo. Xavier was patiently waiting for Vanessa when his pair of brown eyes met with her blue eyes. Xavier felt his heart beating fast as he scanned
Vanessa was so surprised that she started imagining things. It's true that she hasn't seen Nicholas’ whole family before. ‘What the heck is going on here? So that woman that spoke to Xavier earlier, was definitely Nicholas's mom, right? She should be, after all, her face is so familiar that I wouldn't even forget it that easily'. Vanessa thought. “Are you alright?”. Vanessa almost jerked up after hearing Xavier's question. She turned to face him and saw that he was looking at her. ‘Oh, I must have been pacing out because of my crazy thoughts’. Vanessa admitted in her mind before she replied to Xavier, “Don't worry about me, I'm absolutely alright”. “Good. Now, let's go and present ourselves to my father”. Xavier suddenly announced, causing shock to grip Vanessa. In fact, Vanessa didn't even know what to say! Nicholas and Alexa, including other family members, were still over there with Mr Wilson, so why would she go over there with Xavier right now?!. ‘Oh my. Today should be the
Finn arrived outside the mansion with Vanessa. He took her to one of the closest gardens, and when he was about to explain himself to her, Xavier arrived and grabbed Vanessa's hand. “Let go of her, Xavier!”. Finn hissed and quarrelled since he was pissed off. “Calm down, Finn”. Vanessa tried to reason with him before she finally stared at Xavier's cold face and said to him, “Finn is my friend. He was just worried about me”. “You know Finn?”. Xavier's sudden question to Vanessa got her by surprise. “Yeah, we've known each other for years. To be fair, he's kind of my bestie”. Vanessa announced, and as she saw the way Finn was staring at her, she slightly shook her head at him. “That's right, Xavier. Vanessa and I have known each other since highschool! And I bet you purposely had a contract marriage with her, so that you could piss me off!”. “I've told you countless times, it wasn't my fault that Gabriella left you! When we were still friends, I remembered informing you to tell
Xavier returned to his mansion with Vanessa. All through the ride, he was still imagining how someone like Finn, was friends with Vanessa. “Aren't you planning to come down?”. Vanessa had already gotten down from the car, and since Xavier still remained inside the car, she asked him. “Don't worry about me”. As soon as Vanessa heard Xavier's reply to her question, she didn't spend a second and directly headed inside the mansion. ‘Who told you I was worried about you? I just wanted to act as if I'm caring. Hmph’. Vanessa thought on her way. Immediately Vanessa arrived inside her bedroom, her phone rang. She took out her cell phone from her purse before she tossed the purse on the bed. After that, she checked the caller and frowned her face when she saw that it was Alexa calling. “What does she want? How daring of her to call me. Tsk, I bet she's annoyed because she has found out that I'm still the chairman of my company”. Vanessa hissed and said. In no time, she threw her phone
Vanessa stared at Xavier for a while because she was still suspicious of him. Noticing how long she'd been silent, she finally replied to Xavier's question, “I met Finn at highschool. Actually, we weren't that close at first. But when Finn knew of my abil…. I mean, we accidentally bumped into each other at the school cafeteria. After that, we started getting close and became friends”. “Oh, I see”. Xavier replied to Vanessa. It took only a minute and he asked her another question, “Is there anything special going on between you two?”. At this point, after listening to another of Xavier's questions, Vanessa became certain that something was wrong with him. “Yes, we're besties. So, let's say that something special is going on between Finn and I”. Vanessa purposely said this and was secretly staring at Xavier's face to see his reaction. Xavier noticed that Vanessa was staring at him, so after hearing her reply to his question, he kept a straight face and didn't bother to ask her an
The Wilson's Mansion, After Alexa and all invited guests left, the servants tidied everywhere, bringing the mansion back to its former beauty. Mrs Wilson, Sofia, Nicholas, Benjamin, Thomas, Daniel and Olivia were all inside Mr Wilson's study room. Mr Wilson was also inside the study with them. He was sitting in the high chair and was closely watching all of them. It took a while and he finally started the conversation, “Xavier my last son got himself a really capable woman this time. I'm afraid he'd want to become the chairman because of his suddenly capable wife, who's the chairman of Diamond V company”. “We can't let that happen, father”. Benjamin spoke his mind almost immediately. “I know that, Benjamin!”. Mr Wilson harshly spoke, causing Benjamin to become silent immediately. Even Sofia was afraid because of Mr Wilson's harsh voice. “If only you idiots are capable and smart like Xavier, I wouldn't have given him any position in my company! If I dare to chase Xavier from th
