Chapter 41Irene's P.O.V.I glanced at Damian who dropped the frozen chicken in the bowl as he muttered. "Make for two." I stared at him in utter disbelief because how could he tell me to make for two when he knows that boiling water is difficult for me?I squeezed my eyes shut, running my hands through my hair frustratedly as I heaved out an exasperated sigh. "He must be kidding me! I am going crazy at the moment" I scuffled through my hair, hissing multiple times as I stared at the bowl.How in the world was I supposed to make waffles and chicken? I bit my lower lip, passing through the back door in a bid to seek the help of some maids but whenever I called them, the only thing they did was scowl and sneer at me. Some even labeled me a murderer, claiming that I was the one responsible for Lily's death since she died in the room I was given at the slave quarters.Stressed out already, I walked back to the kitchen only to meet Damian in the kitchen already while pouring flour into a b

Chapter 43Irene's P.O.VI couldn't contain the excitement building up inside of me after hearing what Kourtney said. With everything that happened just a few minutes ago, she told Xavier to kick me out and with the way, she and Xavier acted Lovey-dovey,I was damn sure that he was going to listen to her request by sending me out of the house.Moreover, I already added fuel to the fire by infuriating Kourtney more. Her eyes reddened as she spat out the salt while rushing to gulp a glass of water.I lowered my head with my hands still sprawled as I bent slightly. A smile curled at the corner of my lips because Kourtney being here was my road to freedom. Even though I have never spent a lot of time with her, there was no doubt that she hated me with extreme passion even though I had no idea about the cause of her hatred towards me.Maybe she thinks that I am trying to steal her beloved boyfriend from her, Xavier.I raised my head only to meet Xavier's blazing eyes that stared down at me.

Chapter 45Xavier's P.O.V"Have you found Irene yet?" I connected with Damian through the mind link as I barged out of the house. "Not yet! She's still missing" He replied as I disconnected the mind link.Something was wrong because when Kourtney sent Irene out of the house, I planned to make my men take her to a safe place before bringing her back to the mansion after I was done with finding out about the truth from Kourtney. But, it has been hours since I stationed my men around the woods and what they are saying is they couldn't spot Irene anywhere. They didn't even catch a glimpse of her!There's something fishy going on and it made me wonder if Kourtney was somehow connected to Irene's sudden disappearance or if is there a possibility that she got lost while she was trying to find her way out of the woods.I went into the car when I suddenly received a call from Damian. Pressing the phone to my ear, he talked about how he found the trails of a car."You found the trails of a car

Chapter 47Xavier's P.O.VAn evil grin formed on Kourtney's face as she took a spin before the mirror. She didn't notice my presence as I stood at the door with my hands crossed over my chest while gaping at her in silence. She removed the hairband that she used in tying her hair as it tumbled over her shoulder. She kept spinning and busted out laughing after developing a sudden feeling of dizziness, leaning against the wall for support."Finally! I have everything that I want! I have his love, I have her dress and I have her wedding ring" I heard her say while I cringed at her statement.She was still admiring her reflection of herself in the mirror. She took a turn and was about to spin again when she caught sight of me.She fell to the ground instantly, gasping for air as I shook my head in irritation.I fixed my gaze on the wedding dress before averting my gaze back to her face. "Why are you dressed in Irene's wedding dress and most especially, why are you in her room?"She laughe

Chapter 49Xavier's P.O.VI raised a brow, motioning for her to lift her head. Different thoughts raced through my mind as I wondered who could be behind all of this. Even though the current situation made it feel like Kourtney was deeply involved in all of this, I wouldn't want to be blind to the fact of another person being involved in all of this mess."What's your name and who did you see?" I questioned her. She lowered her gaze, blinking her eyes continuously while fiddling with her hands. She swallowed and the way she was acting was beginning to irritate me as I glared at her skeptically.I banged my fist on the steering wheel, causing a honking sound as she almost jumped in fright. "Are you deaf? Do you think that I have all the time in the world to waste? How dare you stop me without having anything to say " I yelled at her and watched as she shuddered.Her lower lip shook, as she ducked her head and when I shifted my gaze to her fingers, it trembled as well. "You must be kidd
