" Mom?" Kai was shocked to see Aurora in his office. " I'm good son, what about you?" she asked sarcastically. " Enough of the sarcasm, what do you want?" he demanded. “ To see my grandbaby." she dropped. How did she know of his son? “ Shocked?" she smirked. “ He ain't here Ma, you can't see him," he told her. " I know," she said crossing her legs. " Then what do you want?" he sighed exasperatedly. " You gotta make peace with her Kai, reunite your family." she voiced out. “ If I am getting you right, you want me to go apologise to the peasant and bring her home because she started making peanuts?" he proudly asked. “ FYI, she's not making peanuts, she's one of the fast-rising CEO's making millions and she's not a peasant, son." Aurora put. “ This seems like a Deja-vu." he tried to recollect. “ It ain't no Deja whatever it's real life, wake up and smell the coffee," she st

You did a great job for your friend, you know," Neo said stroking her hair as she lay her head on his lap. "Xara has been a great friend over the years. She was the only one who genuinely had my back way since middle school." Alianna recalled. " Didn't you have any friends back then?" he inquired. " You see..." she began her story. " Mom and Dad were rarely at home. They were so busy with work, they barely had time for me. It was always me and my nanny, my friends at that time only came to visit or sleepover because of what they would get. They never wanted me to come to their houses. I had a feeling that they used to host sleepovers at their houses without inviting me, but I didn't mind. So far as they were close to me, I was fine. But, their attitude began to change after some time, they began seizing my purse to take my money for whatever they liked. Bullying me into giving them money. I always dreaded going to school because o

" ...just as I was saying," Kai added as Xara walked into his office with her Hr manager. " We'd continue this later," he dropped the call offering them seats. "Is there anything you would like to drink before into business?" he asked. " A cup of coffee would be fine," the Hr manager requested. "Xara?" he asked. " No thanks, I'm fine." she smiled crossing her legs together. " Okay then," he ordered for two cups of coffee one for him and the other for Xara's Hr manager. " The coffee would soon be here, let's cut to the chase," he suggested as the meeting began. He couldn't help but steal glances at his wife. She looked gorgeous and more confident. " My secretary would forward the rest of the documents to you, it was nice doing business with you," Kai added shaking the Hr and Xara's hands. The Hr manager walked out first as Xara followed behind. She felt a hand drag her back into the office. " Let go of me, Kai."

"This is beautiful." Xara and Alianna gushed over Penny's ring. Lyle had proposed to her some days ago and she couldn't keep the news to herself. She had to come down to NYC to break the news and also to officially ask them to be her bridesmaid and maid of honour. "I'm happy for you, you deserve every inch of happiness you're getting." Xara hugged her. "Thanks, girls," she added. "Alianna, would you do ke the honours of being my maid-of-honour?" she asked her friend. Xara wasn't at all bothered, she could be a part of the bridal team as well if Penny wanted. "I'd love to, Penny...omg I would!" she beamed. "Xara baby, would you want to be one of my bridesmaids?" she clasped her hands together. "Of course, sweetheart...I would love to," she responded. "Thank you, girls, I wonder what I would have done without you." the group hugged. "Anyways, how's Kai and Elon doing now? Any better?" Alianna asked. "Elon's fine,

Xara, Penny, Alianna, and Mabel stood by Mrs. Wilson's graveside, where a heart-wrenching chapter had just concluded. The woman who had been the bedrock of Xara's life, her mother, now rested six feet beneath the earth. The weight of grief and anger bore down on her. Her mother, the only true source of unconditional love in her life, had been taken from her by a drunken, abusive husband. Xara was consumed by a burning determination to ensure that the man responsible faced the full extent of justice, to rot in prison and never see the light of day again. The profound injustice of her mother's fate had ignited a fire within her. Penny and Alianna, understanding the need for privacy, discreetly stepped away, leaving the sisters to their shared sorrow. Silence hung in the air until Mabel spoke, breaking the heavy quietude. "How are you holding up?" she asked, her eyes filled with concern. Xara, her eyes bloodshot from tears and anger, stared at her sister, her voice trembling as she re
