She replied."If they decide to end my life that's alright as long as you do the right thing , I'll remain happy" she said."Mom why are you talking like this " she said as she sniffed and at up straight in the chair."This is all it takes to be free from their grip Mia, don't you see it ?!"

Xavier whispered as he stepped out of the car."Yes boss , it's me " she replied and he immediately walked towards her."Let her come into the car please " Carl said to him and he nodded as they both walked back inside the car.Xavier took his initial position beside Carl in front and Mia took her seat in the back seat."You sent this message ?!" Carl asked immediately she sat and she nodded."I do " she replied."So what you know about Liam " Xavier asked."I've been keeping a lot from you boss and I can't do this anymore " "You and Ariel you don't deserve the agony , Liam has in store for you " she said ."Explain " Carl whispered."First of all Liam is my brother , twin brother !" She replied."Wait what !!!" Xavier growled immediately as he turned in his seat to face her."Where is that coming from , how did that come about""How is this even possible you and Liam , I've never pictured that !!" He rushed at once ."We're f
Xavier's Residence ...Xavier slowly twisted the key in the door knob before pulling it open."Babe , you're back " she said as she stood up and walked towards him, she was currently on a video call with Olivia and Miguel and they were connected via the TV."I was just talking to Miguel and Olivia " she said as she stood on a tiptoe and placed a kiss on his lips , he wrapped his hands around her waist pulled her closer and deepened the kiss."Hm hm " Miguel cleared his throat but Xavier wasn't bothered at all."What's going in baby" Ariel asked as they disengaged and he slowly walked to where Ariel was seating before and took his seat there while Ariel joined him in the chair too."Ariel told us about where you went , what's going on did something go wrong " Miguel asked and Xavier exhaled deeply."Guys " he whispered."A lot of things went wrong " he replied."What exactly is going on , can you stop keeping us in suspense?!" Olivia said."Remember , Liam's twin I told you about ?!" H
"Mother" Liam whispered as he walked towards the bed where his mom was laid. "I never wanted to do this " he whispered. "Mia did this to her" Uncle Mark said as he walked into the room . "I'm sorry mother " Liam cried as he knelt by her bed "I'm sorry mother please forgive me " he repeated "But you being alive will be a huge threat to us , you'll reveal all our secrets to Xavier " he whispered. "I had no idea , Mia would do what she did " he explained like he was talking to someone who could really hear him. "That's enough Liam" Uncle Mark said. "No dad it's not enough " he said. "I had always thought whether I see her dead or alive , it wouldn't bother me " he replied. "Then what is this heavy feeling in my chest " he replied. "What's this pain and hurt I feel right now " he said. "You love your mother and that's alright , at a point in everyone lives their journey ends , this was the end of hers " he replied. "And I had to be the catalyst of her end ?!" He asked. "You
Next week ...... Monday morning... 10:00 am .... "It's nice doing business with you " "Same here Sir" Xavier said as he stood up with a small smile and stretched took his hand in his. "It's a nice work you're doing here , cheers to doing more business together in future " he said and Xavier smiled. "I'll totally be looking forward to that " Xavier said with a small smile. "Miss Ariel !" He called and gave her a side hug. "You're doing well , you're one of the newbies in business that makes us proud " he said and she smiled. "Thanks for the kind words sir " she said and he nodded. "You deserve it " he whispered. "I should be on my way now , I have a lot of other important things to attend to " he said and they nodded with a smile. "Thank you sir " they said finally as he stepped out. Immediately he stepped out , just as they were packing their things while talking to themselves and laughing the door opened and all the shareholders began to walk in. They stood up straight i
12:00pm .... "Hmmm" Ariel moaned as Xavier kissed her , they were in the car at the airport waiting for Olivia and Miguel and one thing led to another they began to smooch. "I never can get enough of you " Xavier murmured. "I know " she replied with a small giggle as they kept on kissing, he slowly reached for the control of the chair and pulled her chair downwards as he kept on kissing her touching her all over as she moaned in ectasy. "Baby" she murmured and he deepened the kiss. An harsh knock on the window brought both of them out of whatever la-la land they were in. Xavier looked up and he saw Miguel staring at him with a shrug and Olivia standing behind him with her palms over Michaela's eyes. And he quickly let of go of Ariel as he pulled her chair back to a sitting position. "Hey welcome back home Man!!" Xavier said as he and Ariel stepped out of the car. "Welcome back home Man ," Miguel mimicked while rolling his eyes. "Please leave my front and open the trunk " he s
This seemed like the end , she thought as she slowly made to turn to face him, thinking of possible stories she can make up to justify why she was there. Just as she was about to face him she heard him groan in pains and felt him drop to the ground. And she turned at once to see Liam with a thick stick in his hands. "Quick come on let's leave here " he said as he stretched out his hand to her . "Liam ?!" "What are you doing here ?!, She asked I'm shock " "This is not the time for questions and answers " "He'll wake up soon , let's get out of her immediately " he said and she turned one last time to look at Xavier's unconscious body on the floor before running off with Liam. "Why did you come ?!, You said you weren't coming?!" She said as they drove home. "Your visit there didn't go down well with me " he replied. "I had a bad feeling and I just felt like I should follow you there " he replied calmly and she nodded as she turned to look outside through the tinted glasses. "
3:00 pm .... Carl sat by Mia's bed as he stared at her , she laid calmly there here face as white as snow and her lips very red. It was the first time he was seeing her so calm , and he had the opportunity of taking in her features very closely. Xavier was right he has grown a liking to Mia and it grew deeper after them working together on Hilton's death, but they never really had a deep conversation , except that they almost kissed once. It broke his heart to see that she was this conflicted and he had no idea , she really had gone through a lot , especially with her dad and her brother. Right now he couldn't even start to imagine how she must have been feeling. His mind wandered over to her mother that just died also , he couldn't imagine how she'll feel if she wakes up to that news. This is bad professionally, but what could he do , it was matters of the heart and he couldn't tame it . "You have to survive this Mia " he whispered staring down at her face. "You're a strong w
