Dante clapped his hand once drawing everyone's attention to him as he said,"Without further ado, let's go straight to the reason we are all here" Silence enveloped them as they waited for Dante to continue his words. Xavier watched as fixed his gaze on he and Charlotte, surely he didn't want to say what he's thinking right? "We are very much aware that our children are already successful in their spheres of life and so that should not be in their priorities right now, and they are both single and not getting younger so I suggest that we fix a date for the both of them to get engaged and married, after all they are both childhood friends so it's not like they would be getting married to a stranger right? Or what do you think?" He turned to face Charlotte's parents who nodded their heads in agreement to what he suggested. "I personally think it's a good idea, Charlotte has always liked Xavier anyway so this is a nice plan" Melissa said, making Charlotte blu
Xavier ran his hands across his face in frustration, he said those words out of impulse now he doesn't know what to do. He knew long ago the woman he was attracted to, Amber but the thought of her rejecting him was something he can't face. He still had a two month deadline anyway, he will try as much as possible to make her fall for him in the coming days. He was attractive, literally any woman will fall to her feet at the thought of him, so why not her? Why not the one he likes?He left the mansion and headed to his company, it's better he just engrossed himself in his work instead of thinking of the arrangements his parents made. He pulled up and parked his car properly in the garage. He then came out and headed to his office. He could hear some laughter as he approached the office. He opened the door to find Amber laughing out loud to a movie she was watching, she was so engrossed she didn't even hear him come in. Amber sudde
Amber knew the reason Charlotte was here was to warn her to stay clean from Xavier. She pretended like she understood what Charlotte said and nodded her head,"Okay I will, I also hope you are making the right decision and are not forcing yourself on someone who doesn't like you.." She decided to end her sentence there and moved around Charlotte.Charlotte grabbed her arm immediately digging her long manicured nails into Amber skin. Amber shrieked immediately and tried to remove her hand,"Let me go". But Charlotte didn't let go,"I'll warn you one last time Amber, do not try to do anything that would cause my marriage with Xavier to end, or I swear to you I will kill you" She let Amber hands go pushing her away in the process as she turned to leave.Amber concluded Charlotte was indeed crazy about Xavier, too bad she won't be the reason for their marriage to fall apart, the guy didn't even like her! Amber looked at her arm to see some red bruises on her white skin, it really hurt. She t
Amber got up from bed as soon as her alarm began ringing, she didn't want to repeat the same mistake of ignoring it and waking up late. She woke her kids up to bathe one at a time while she rushed down to prepare something as they changed into their uniforms. Amber was surprised in seeing already doing the dishes and preparing the food. "I must be dreaming, Since when did you start doing that?" Sophia rolled her eyes at her best friend's words. "Just be grateful I am doing this okay?" "Oh I am so grateful mi lady" Amber said while walking towards the fridge to grab some vegetables, she placed the vegetables on the kitchen counter and turned to Sophia "Also, don't forget to add these okay? They are very nutritious in food" Sophia shot her a killer glare which Amber ignored and went upstairs instead,"Thank you!" Amber yelled knowing it was only going to piss Sophia off the more. When Amber entered the room, she saw her kids were fully dressed in their school uniforms so she told them to
Xavier stifled a laugh at Amber's attitude towards his best friend Jake. Poor Jake probably thinks the world and women revolve around him, mostly women, it was nice for Xavier to see that Amber was different, he was beginning to like her more and more now. He couldn't wait to unravel her many exteriors. Amber kept on snubbing Jake who didn't seem to know when to stop pestering someone, Xavier thought that his friend had suffered enough from Amber's ruthless ignorance to him so he came in to save him. "Jake we still have a lot to talk about, quit pestering my secretary, she already has a lot on her table as it is' '. Amber silently thanked Xavier for intervening, she was so close to losing it. Jake who was oblivious of what Xavier was trying to do still didn't budge, he kept on talking to Amber. Xavier shook his head in disappointment and just let him be. Soon after Jake's incessant talking, Amber excused herself from the office. She thought it was better to be anywhere but here, at le
Breanna finally steadied herself and asked,"How do you know him? How do you even know my issue was related to him?" She suddenly wondered if Amber could read minds. Amber smiled at her,"So it does have to do with him" She said then continued when she got Breanna full attention,"Well I basically don't know him, never met him before apart from today but i could already tell he is a no no, a womanizer even". Breanna smiles sadly,"I wish I also could be able to tell a person's character at first sight". Amber noticed Breanna slipping out again,"Mind sharing what's up? Remember I said a problem shared is a problem half solved. But it's okay if you don't want to talk". Breanna instantly cut her off,"No I'll talk, at least it's better that way than bottling up all my emotions" Amber was glad Breanna was finally coming to her senses so she stayed still and waited for Breanna to start talking, she was also curious, she wanted to know what exactly occurred between those two. Breanna sighed and
Breanna felt okay once after Amber's advice, she didn't want to continue loving the same person who didnt even care about her, she decided to put herself first, she thanked Amber for the advice she offered to give her. "Now I realize I just needed to get it out of my mind to become better, thanks for caring for me Amber, you are such a sweet soul". Amber smiled, she felt delighted that she was able to help out in any little way she can. "It's okay, I'm just so happy I was able to help, if you need anything don't hesitate to tell me okay?" Breanna smiled widely at her words,"So we are friends now right?" Amber wasn't sure if she can call Breanna a 'friend' now but when she looked at Breanna's face hoping she would say yes, she couldn't help the words from coming out of her mouth."Sure, we are friends now" They both smiled.Meanwhile Xavier and Jake were inside of Jake's car outside Xavier's company. "So any leads on that woman you were searching for?" Jake asked. Damien's smile dropped
"I apologize for my friends behavior, he tends to behave like an a$$ sometimes, Amber almost scoffed, no joke there. She shook her head,"No need to apologize sir, it was nothing really". Xavier nodded and went back to his work. As if one impulse, Amber suddenly remembered what Breanna had told her about Jake, she was forced to ask Xavier. "Sir" Xavier turned to face her when he heard her voice, Amber was already talking when he looked up to face her,"Why is your friend like that anyways?" Xavier raised his brow at her question not quite sure what she meant, she told him earlier that she wasn't offended with Jake's attitude towards her but by the look on her face, he could tell she was beyond pissed. "How do you mean Miss Parks?" Amber tried to bite her tongue to avoid the next words threatening to spill from her lips but it's all she's been thinking about anyway since she left Breanna so she couldn't hold it in. And so she asked him,"Why is he a womanizer? I mean why does he have to f
Amber didn't know why Xavier was staring at her the way he did, she brushed it aside and focused on what he said, so he has someone he likes? "I really do think you should give it a try sir, tell her how you feel, you aren't really that bad for a guy, I bet she will like you back" She advised him. Xavier was amused,"Really?" He asked raising one of his brow up, he wondered if she knew she was the one he was referring to. Amber quickly nodded, answering his question,"Of course sir, no harm but I am pretty sure any other lady would be by far better than that Charlotte of a woman" She rolled her eyes. Xavier could see that Amber greatly dislikes Charlotte. This was actually the first time Amber was talking to him so carefree, he liked the feeling, he wondered how she would react when she finds out she was the girl he was interested in, would she still have things to say to him? He decided to test the waters by asking her a not too obvious question,"What if the said girl doesn't like me b
