XavierI am more upset over the fact that I allowed Hailey to make Angela feel obliged to entertain her or maybe I’m angry because slowly, I’m dragging Angela deeper into my world, slowly tinting her innocence. The best option would have been to let her go not watch her walk down the aisle to meet me, but then I’m a selfish man; I do not make decisions that rational people make.Misplacement of anger. I am angry no doubt, maybe a little bit at Angela for keeping this from me, but she’s not the sole reason for my anger, but I made her believe otherwise.Carefully avoiding the broken pieces of glass scattered all over the marble, I rounded my desk and collapsed on my seat, feeling drained from the alcohol, anger, and pain.Deciding to do a little work to take my mind off the event of the day, I turned on my laptop and clicked on my email. Thousands of unanswered mail flooded my inbox but only a few caught my attention and one of them was from Joshua Miller, my lawyer.Clicking on his ma

XavierI only left my daughter’s room a few minutes ago, after I was certain that her fever has calmed. Dr. Cowell also left a few minutes ago due to an emergency at his hospital, but he left instructions on what to do in case of the fever returns although, in his words, it is unlikely to return.Lucas is currently in my office, making the calls I instructed him to make before the incident with Kenz whilst I took a quick shower.Standing in front of the bathroom mirror with my toothbrush hanging loosely in my mouth, I wondered what she might be going through right now. Thousands of unanswered questions flooded my head, questions like- has she eaten anything yet? Is she even conscious? Are they tending to her wound or are they careless about it, leaving it prone to infection? Did they allow her to clean up? Or did they leave her in the mess of her blood?Questions that I wished I have answers to are what makes breathing difficult. Sighing, I placed both hands on the sink and bowed my h

XavierTwo days and were yet to make any improvement in finding Angela. I’ve spoken with Adam, and he claims that Martinez isn’t planning anything, at least not to his knowledge. I also questioned him about Mateo and he told me that Mateo has been lying low after his arrest.It’s a thing of total disappointment that the man I sent to spy on Martinez and his son knows nothing about Mateo’s plan to overthrow his father. Just how useless can he be? Just how clueless can he get? I almost told him about the plan so he can look into it, but after much contemplation, keeping that information to myself seemed to be the best thing to do. I can’t be so certain that he still works for me, that he is not intentionally withholding information about Mateo from me.Things are beginning to get messy, and if I don’t get a handle on it, it might get out of hand. Angela was summoned to the station for questioning yesterday, but I gave them an excuse, saying that she was too sick to leave the house. I ca

Xavier Dressed in a black tux, I clipped a brooch to my left breast, topping off the Versace look. I sent my daughter over to Daniel’s for the night with twenty security details. Daniel, the bastard who doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut kept questioning me about Angela.At one point, he accused me of murder. He went as far as threatening to report me to the cops if Angela didn’t show up by the weekend; a threat I rather find feeble.Whilst giving out his threats, I also dished out mine. I warned him not to do anything that will compromise my daughter’s safety. My men are there to protect her, but at the same, he shouldn’t do anything that will make their work difficult.I promised to watch him drown if anything, any slightest thing; as small as a scratch dents her skin.It was quite painful to watch my daughter happily leave with him a few hours ago. It was as if she preferred the company of that man over mine. I’m not surprised though, just like that man, she blames me for he

XavierMateo was trailed to California but my men lost him in the crowd. They’ve been on the lookout ever since, hoping to get a glimpse of him, but then Lucas informed me that he ran into him at the mall today. Retreating my men from California wasn’t an option as there is a possibility that Angela might be held hostage there.“Boss man,” Seth called out in my ear, reminding me that I’m still having a conversation with him. “Everyone has vacated the building. What is your order?”“Bring it down.” I’m going to provoke that bastard in every way possible until he makes a move out of anger. When someone acts irrationally, he is bound to make mistakes and that is exactly what I want him to do.Lucas who has been silently listening to my conversation with Seth shook his head but kept his word to himself until I ended the call. “I don’t think provoking Mateo is the best thing to do right now.” Lucas mused “He might take it out on her.”That is my fear, but then I refuse to sit around, doing
