Clarissa's eyes scanned the headlines on her phone, her heart sinking as she read the news about Angelica's return. She felt a pang of pain and regret, her mind racing with thoughts of what could have been.She had thought she had moved on, that she had left the past behind her. But now, with Angelica back in the picture, all the old feelings came flooding back. The memories, the heartache, the sense of loss.Clarissa felt like she had been punched in the gut, her breath knocked out of her. She couldn't believe that Angelica was back, that she was alive. It was like a nightmare.She thought about Xavier's death. She knew her sister would want revenge against her. Clarissa's heart ached at the thought of her sister's return."Don't worry, her return doesn't mean anything. Her ally is dead, and she can't do anything about it. She's weak!" Clarrissa turned towards her with anger in her eyes. "Kelanie, you don't understand!" Clarissa snapped, her voice rising in anger. "Angelica's retur

Xavier's eyes widened in shock as Angelica revealed the shocking truth about Clarissa's past. "What? That can't be true!" he exclaimed, his mind reeling with the implications.Angelica's expression was saddened. "I'm afraid it is, Xavier. Clarissa was indeed a maid for your mother, and she had grand ambitions. She wanted to marry your father and take over the family's wealth and status. And she was willing to do whatever it took to achieve her goal."Xavier's face darkened with anger and disgust. "So she killed my mother? That's...that's monstrous!"Angelica nodded, her eyes filled with sadness. "Yes, Xavier. Clarissa is a ruthless and dangerous woman. She'll stop at nothing to get what she wants. And now that I'm back, she's going to try to eliminate me too."Xavier's grip on Angelica's hand tightened. "Don't worry, Angelica. I won't let her hurt you. I'll protect you with my life."Once they were in the bedroom, he made her sit on the bed.Xavier's eyes locked onto Angelica's, his

Angelica stared at Xavier with confusion laced on her face. “What could have led to his death?” She asked Xavier who was equally clueless. He let out a sigh of frustration. “This is undoubtedly Clarissa's handwork. She had something to do with this. Could he have been sent on a suicide mission?” He voiced out. “Suicide mission? What do you mean?” He gazed into space before beginning to explain. “just like suicide warriors who carry out their missions at the expenses of their lives, there are also people who carry out illegal dealings and commit suicide to block investigative process.” “Really? Why should anyone do a job at the expense of his life? How then will he enjoy the benefits?” She asked. Xavier's phone buzzed and he picked it up to see a text from Thompson. “Sir, you really need to be at the office immediately,” the text read. His brows creased in confusion. “Is everything okay? What's the issue?” Angelica inquired, seeing the look on his face. “It's Thompson. He says

Xavier was hopeful. "That means he's recovering, right?" He asked, and the doctor nodded. "Yes that's it. He's getting better. We should be happy that he is..." The doctor added with a smile on his face. Xavier on the other hand was also very grateful. They are lost all hope about ever seeing his father again. However, he decided to be hopeful. "Can we see him at least before we leave?" Xavier asked, and Angelica found herself being interested. She agreed to him leaving, and before she knew what was going on, she was already. The doctor agreed, and they all move towards the ward where Xaveir's father was being kept. As soon as they walked into the ward, Xavier made way to his father's side with Angelica following behind him. She had this sad look in her eyes, and she seemed really tired. Her hands were shaking. She was worried about the whole thing. It was only a matter of time before they rounded up their visit, and then they walked back to the car after Dr Lee promised to do hi

“So that's why you're here?” the man asked with a raised brows, although the darkness made it hard for anyone to actually see his face.“Yes. I need you to hell me get revenge on the people who made the police investigate your drug shed. Although we have been able to get some of the drugs, the police are still trying to transport some away from there. I have a plan to stop them though,” He explained, making the man's already grumpy face return back to normal.“Better! Do you know how much those cost?” He asked again. “Nevertheless, I have decided to help you out. Those people who made the police discover my drug hide out must pay with their lives.” An evil smirk formed on his face. This was exactly what he wanted. He never really wanted any help at first, but that was what made him suffer. However, he was ready to make amends now.He wasn't going to tell himself anything out of the ordinary. There was no need to make a big deal out of everything.“Thank you so much. I really don't kn
