Xavier sincerely hoped Charlotte would be home when he went there. He drove like a mad man, the fear of Laura’s presence overtaken by the fear of his wife leaving him or doing something to herself. He knew Charlotte didn’t have anywhere else to go. He hated that that was his only consolation. But she had a lot of money now, so if she really wanted to even leave the country, she could. “Welcome, boss…” one of his security guards greeted him when he entered the house. “Is she back?” He asked, cutting him off. “Who, sir?” The guard asked and Xavier glared at him. “Who else would I be talking about, you…” he stopped to catch his breath and rethink what he had to say. “Is my wife home yet?” “Uh, no. I haven’t seen her after she left in the morning.” Xavier ran his hand through his hair after hearing what he had desperately hoped he wouldn’t hear. He dialed her number even though he was sure she would not respond. After he got sent to voicemail four times, he knew sh

The Daily Digest: Trouble In Paradise. ‘They say all good things must come to an end. Could this be the case for our favorite couple, Xavier and Charlotte Roman? It can be recalled that exactly a week ago, Xavier Roman’s ex-wife showed up with a boy that bears striking resemblance to our beloved billionaire, claiming to be his son even though he vehemently denied it. This happened after Charlotte Roman’s husband escaped the country when he would have been incarcerated for her attempted murder. Phew. We can only imagine what it must have been for her. The whole world held its breath to see what would happen afterwards. Some wondered if she would stay like before and ignore the media or if this would be her final reawakening that would lead her to her second divorce. Unfortunately, neither party has made any public appearance or comment since then. Xavier Roman has not been seen at work and a source close to the family claims he has been locked up in a room alone for days. Reports hav

There was a knock on Xavier’s door a few minutes after he went back to his office. He groaned inwardly and reluctantly muttered ‘come in’ to whoever had made it their mission to disturb his peace that afternoon. Considering the situation, he was more angry at the fact that for the last few minutes, his mind had been on one person so much that he had forgotten he was even at the office. The young male intern opened the door, walked into the office and greeted him. Xavier looked at him for a few moments. He had no idea what this intern even did at his company. “What do you want?” The young student cleared his throat. “Will Miss Charlotte be coming back soon? If she won’t, then please hire a new personal assistant. People have been sending me on so many errands and I’m really tired.” Xavier sucked in a breath. He always knew there was a reason why he didn’t like this guy but now he had one. There were many things wrong with the question his intern had asked, like how the w

Charlotte always had to prepare her mind days before she left the house. There was no telling which random guy on the road was actually an undercover reporter who wanted to use her to shine. One would tnink that after leaving Xavier, her life would return back to normal, but Charlotte didn't even know what normal was. Her life had never really been normal. She groaned when she looked into her empty fridge. She was tired of having strangers do her grocery shopping for her online. They always managed to get the orders wrong and the last person that had delivered to her house seemed to recognize her. If she actually wanted anything done, she would have to do it herself. How was she even supposed to move on with her life like this? It had been a whole week, yet people's interest in this case did not wane like she had hoped. How could it, when Laura had made it her life's mission to keep adding fuel to the fire? Sometimes Charlotte wondered how jobless people could be. She couldn't

It was no surprise when less than an hour after Xavier went to play golf after days of staying cooped up at the house, the golf course was filled with several people. It was as if these people had nothing better to do than wait until news about where he was spread, just for them to go there and see him. There was so much attention being paid to him since practically everyone in the state had been waiting to hear news from him. Since he knew that would happen, he had asked Carlos to come with other bodyguards. Xavier personally hated having bodyguards, but extreme scenarios called for extreme measures. As the people watched him from a distance, no one daring to take a step closer to his direction for fear of being rough-handled by the fierce-looking guards, Xavier carried on playing his golf like nothing was happening. Since it was the day he and his other business ‘friends’ usually paid golf, they were all there with him. Xavier almost regretted choosing that day out of ot
