The city lights blurred past the tinted windows, but Xander wasn’t looking. He sat rigid in the back seat, fists clenched so tightly his knuckles were white. The air in the car was thick—tense, charged with the kind of silence that weighed down on Hunter like a stone.“Are you going to tell me where we’re going?” Hunter asked, keeping his eyes on the road.“My father,” Xander said flatly then his phone lit and he read the new message. "Change of plans, I sent you a location"At the same Hunters phone vibrated and he clicked on it and saw the GPS location."Who are we meeting there" he asked "Victor Dale" Hunter’s hands tightened on the steering wheel. “Victor? The ex–head of security?”Xander nodded once. “Fired two years ago. Quietly. No press, no drama. That’s not how my father handles things—unless he had something to hide.”Hunter let out a slow breath. “You think he’s behind the footage?”“I think he knows who is,” Xander replied. “Victor was the one who set up the old security

Back at the Cage Mansion."They think they’ve won."Xander’s jaw tightened as he stared at the tablet in his hand. The breaking news headline glared back at him like a slap to the face.“Alexander Cage, new chairman of XL Conglomerate, caught stealing company secrets—Retaliation against his estranged father?”A video of him stealing soft copy files from the company database.He didn’t blink.His silence filled the office like smoke—thick, heavy, suffocating.Max stood nearby, frozen mid-step. “Young master, we—”“I know it’s a setup,” Xander said, cutting him off with a calm too controlled to be natural. “I just don’t know who pulled the trigger.”Max exchanged a tense glance with the bodyguard in the room but said nothing.Xander rose from the leather chair, one hand still gripping the tablet. His reflection stared back at him from the glass office wall. Not the man they used to mock. Not the broken husband. Not the “useless son-in-law.” This was someone else.Someone dangerous.“The

"Baby, be quick you got to see this" Hermia heard her husband, Mike call her from the bathroom. She just got home from a business lunch with a new business owner in hopes that he would be their investor. The chances of that happening was very low after the dinner ended. She decided to soak in a bath when she got to her new condo that Mike got them after their honeymoon. If only the bath could wash away all her problems. "In a minute" she answered and stood from the bath. She went to shower and washed off the foam before dried herself with a white towel and wore a pink robe. "Honey, what if it?" She asked when she entered the sitting room. "Come sit, you are going to love this" Mike said patting the space next to him. She rolled her eyes but still sat beside him. She joined him in watching the television, thinking he was only seeking her attention until she listened in to the news. "The new Chairman of XL conglomerate, Alexander Cage was caught on CCTV steal some of the company s

What was he thinking when he came here to ask his father?What was he expecting him say?Was he really in denial of the truth staring at him right in his face. He wanted them to tell him it was a lie that was just a document mix up or they could tell him it was a plot twist or a misery that's yet to be solved. Not that he had another brother but a twin brother."I don't have a twin brother" he stated, his eyes became glassy and narrowed as he spoke. Cameron was about to speak up before Max pressed a hand on his shoulder to take over from there. "You do have a twin brother, you just don't remember him" Max said. "You knew?" Xander asked his father former assistant, his voice broke at the end. The chairman's reaction silenced him, leading him only to nod. "You knew and didn't say anything" Xander stated calmly but his eyes was still glassy. He won't let the tear fall and make them think he weak. "We thought it was better for you to find out by yourself" Max answered and held his

"Do you have a twin?" Randy asked a surprised Xander.It took him a few moments to process the question before he responded. “I don't,” he began, unsure."I don’t have a twin," he said again, more confidently this time, as he noticed the doubt in everyone’s eyes."Then why is there a birth certificate for another person born the same day as you, with our surname?" Trente asked, his brows knit into a frown as he searched for an explanation that didn't involve the man standing in front of them."That's a question Cameron is going to answer," Xander said and stood up."Where are you going?" Randy asked, instantly on her feet.Xander clenched his fist before replying through gritted teeth, “To get answers,” and left the office.“Xander, wait!” Randy called after him, ready to follow, but Hunter stepped in front of her, blocking her view as Xander disappeared behind the door."I’ll go after him. You two continue reviewing the documents—and take care of Emily," Hunter said. His face betraye

The father and son duo waited in awkward silence. Xander bit his lips while his father avoided staring at him. Cameron cleared his throat in attempt to speak first and disperse the heavy silence. Just then, the door opened and Max walked in. He was followed by the IT team each carrying a package box. The last person, a petite lady rode in a carrier filled with bundle of files. "Just what is about to tell you" Cameroon said as Max took his place beside Cameron out of habit."What are those?" Xander said , leaving his seat to examine to load of files more better."This are the hard copy record of the files that were stolen, Hunter told me that you needed to know what was in the files that were stolen." Max gave an acute reply before Cameron could. "Everything?" Xander asked, picking a bundle of file from the paper carrier. "Yes, everything" Max replied. "That's a lot" Xander said and placed the file back in its place. Tiredness already slipping into his bone. He leaned on his large

The glass Asher was holding shattered the same way his heart shattered, other students turned to him even the Hogwarts students looked down.
