Xavier watched Rebecca as he drove into the precinct, she might pretend all she wants to care less about her brother but the truth still remains that she cared about him, why else would she be panicking at the news that he almost killed someone and could possible be seeing the four corners of the jail room if charges are filed.He parked his car at a good spot and they immediately walked into the station. It was not hard to locate the Queen family as once again, they had come to the police station. It was slowly becoming a regular thing now, visiting the police station.Mr. and Mrs. Queen are surprised to see Xavier show up at the scene, they had almost mistaken him for Jimmy but it didn’t make sense that he was coming in from the front door dressed in an office suit.“Xavier?” his mother called softly, shocked to see him. She was beginning to think that she would never see him again after he legally disowned them, so what brought him here today?“Mother,” Xavier replied softly, with
The Queen family came outside the station and learnt that Jimmy had left with their driver, it appears that he hadn’t taken his car keys from the cops who made the arrest and so he chose to leave with the family car.“Fucking son of a bitch!” Rebecca cursed out loud.“Hey, easy on the language,” Susan scolded immediately and she sighed.“It is okay, I can take you all back in my car if you don’t mind,” Xavier offered.“Are you sure about that? But Rebecca said you had both come from your office, don’t you need to go back?” Mr. Queen asked.“I will, Dad. After you are all safe at home, come on… let's go,” he replied and headed to his car.Rebecca stared at her parents and smiled, she gave them that face, like saying… “I told you, he is the perfect son that you never had.”They all followed Xavier to his car and got in, with Rebecca at the front seat with him. He immediately drove off as he needed to be back at the office before closure, he had promised Aria that he would come back earl
Once again, the Queens family was gathered in their living room. It was just yesterday that they had gotten Jimmy out of police custody for attempting to kill his best friend Steve.“What else is new, Dad? You sent for me?” Jimmy groaned as he took a seat far from them.Rebecca was the missing member of the family, she didn’t see how any of the latest developments affected her, it was not her problem to worry about.“Well, your friend just cut us off and by that, I mean that our trust fund from the company is frozen, the son of a bitch cut us out and now we only have our personal trust fund to rely on.” Mr. James announced.“Huh? What are you saying, Dad?” Jimmy asked with wide eyes.“I am saying that if nothing is done in the next few weeks, we are going to be broke… Believe me; in a few weeks from now, we won’t be able to afford anything.” He explained.“That is crazy, how can we suddenly go poor? What happened to all the money in your personal account?” Jimmy queried, while drippi
Jimmy staggered into the house to meet his angry looking parents. He smiled gleefully. “Hey pops!” he said loudly and quickly held the wall for support.From the wide smiles on his face, anyone could tell that it wasn’t just alcohol. He was high on molly as well; a substance that makes me people happy for no reason.Mr. James Queen sighed and folded his arms. “Seriously son? We are running out of funds and you are spending what you have left on drinks. Look around you, there are no more maids or security details because we are unable to afford them anymore, yet you go around spending thousands at night clubs. What in the name of God should we do with you?”Jimmy burst into laughter immediately, he fell to the floor and quickly staggered up like a drunk. He made his way to the couch and sat down.“Relax Dad, I didn’t drink much, not like I could afford more than three bottles. You know what? There are so many fake people in the world, can you believe my old friends wouldn’t even let me
The entire Queen family was at the CEO’s office and all wore a look of surprise on their faces. Well, except Jimmy who had the answers to all their questions. They all wanted to know how he did it, the company documents were truly back in Jimmy’s name.“I don’t understand, how did you make this happen?” Mr. James asked for the second time.Xavier smiled. “Father, you don’t need to know and it really shouldn’t bother you. These papers are very legit, the company is once again registered in Jimmy’s name and that is what matters. You will be able to take back full control after a few other procedures.” He replied calmly.The young CEO had reasons to keep it a secret, he didn’t want to let them know how he had gone about the issue because they might even have more questions that he wouldn’t be able to answer.“Okay fine, so what about Steve? If you wont tell us how you took the company back from him, at least tell us his stand in the issue right now.” Jimmy blurted coldly.Xavier chuckled
Xavier walks into Aria’s office and finds her packing folders with her back to the door. He knew he was supposed to be here three hours earlier but he had gotten caught up at the meeting with the Queen Enterprises board members.“Hey, Aria.” He called softly.“Arghh!!” she panicked and turned around immediately.He paused and raised his hands. “Chill, it is just me, sorry I am late.” He apologized immediately.“Forget about being late, you scared the life out of me,” she whimpered and gasped for air.Xavier smiled “Okay, sorry about that, was never my intention but I wouldn’t deny enjoying watching you make that face.” He teased.“Huh?” she muttered with wrinkled eyebrows.He laughed softly. “You look cute when you are scared, not like you don’t look cute when you are feeling other things, I mean… okay, I will just hold it there.” He said immediately.He couldn’t understand why he struggled with words whenever he was with her, yes… he was usually persona and chose his words carefully
Xavier offered Aria his arm for support as she climbed down the car, he had just opened the car door for her and was now helping her get down. They had just arrived at the Queen mansion and the place had been decorated like it was some big event, but there weren’t any new cars from the regular, so Xavier knew that there were no guests; it had to be a private dinner.Xavier and Aria walked into the Queen mansion hand in hand, their presence was immediately noticed as the chattering in the sitting room died down the moment they stepped in.Jaws dropped, eyes widened, mouth agape, breath seized, bodies frozen… They were all astonished by the beautiful sight. Aria had come dressed in a one strap blue gown that glued to her slim body and reached her knees, with a beautiful diamond necklace that Xavier had given her as a gift. He had put it around her neck by himself when he arrived at her place to pick her up earlier today.“Oh my God, Aria? Is this really you?” Susan asked with dropped ja
Aria washes her hand after using the restroom, she looks at herself in the mirror and smiles subtly. So far, tonight has been going great and she has had no regrets coming here. Maybe Xavier was right and there was nothing to be scared about, she had panicked for nothing.Aria left the guest restroom and headed back to the living room. She was in the hallway on the second floor when she ran into Jimmy. Her heart skipped at the sight of him, it was just the two of them in the hallway.She sighed and looked down, trying to avoid eye contact with him as they closed in on each other. She had almost walked past him when he grabbed her arm and made her pause. Once again, her heartbeat skipped and she felt goose pimples all over her skin; this was the awkward moment she had been trying to avoid since they got here; being alone with her ex fiancée and former love of her life.“So you here with Xavier, huh?” he muttered rudely.Arianna scoffed softly and pulled her arm off his, she sighed and
