Chapter 180: The Letter
XavierSoon, the weekend was over and it was the work week again. Despite my hopes and prayers that it would never come, it did. Of course it did and I would have to face Eliot after witnessing the craziest scene of my life.I took a deep breath as I searched the bedside table in search of my phone, for some reason it wasn’t there. I quickly stood up, turning on the lights to have a clearer view and after five minutes of searching I realized it had fallen into the slightly open drawer beneath it. I quickly reached into the drawer and pulled it out but that was when my eyes fell on something foreign, something I knew wasn’t supposed to be there. It was neat white envelope with the words, “To Xavier” written on it. I looked around like I was expecting whoever left it there to be lurking in the shadows. When I obviously couldn’t find the culprit, I quickly pulled the envelope out and ripped it open before taking another breath.Staring back at me was a handwritten letter from my fathe
Chapter 181: Burn in Hell
PearlAfter seeing Xavier off, I walked back into the house and shut the doors behind me. The silence that welcomed me was a bit deafening considering that everyone was still on their rooms. For some days now, Eliana had been a bit distant and I barely saw her so I decided to give her some time to be comfortable with sharing whatever was going on with her. I scanned the living room, my head making mental notes of the things I had to do or thought I did because nothing came to mind. After staring at the blank wall for a few minutes, I decided to go see Jax.I closed the door behind me, my eyes adjusting to the dim light in his room. The familiar scent of his favorite cologne that I made sure to spray around him everyday, wafted through the air, and I felt a pang of nostalgia. My brother, the CEO, the strongest person I’ve ever known was now, just a shadow of his former self.I approached the bed, my footsteps light, not wanting to disturb him. He was fast asleep, his chest rising an
Chapter 182: Fear of the Unknown
Xavier I got to the office, my senses on high alert and the threat from Eliot ringing in my ears like bells. I took a deep breath as I pushed the door open, “Good morning Mr. Montclair.” The receptionist greeted and I nodded back because despite my desperate attempt to remember her name, I couldn’t.“Is Mr Carson in yet?” I asked, forcing a smile and she quickly moved her laptop to the side like she was trying to give me her undivided attention. “You’re finally saying more than a words to me.” She grinned as she rested her chin on her hands. I fought the urge to roll my eyes, hiding the disgust with a grimace. “He’s ten minutes away.” A softer voice replied, and I shifted my gaze to the blonde woman I had no idea was sitting beside the familiar receptionist the whole time. I was certain I’d never seen her face before; perhaps she was a new intern.“Only speak when you’re spoken to!” The other one snapped. I took a deep breath, “thank you so much.” I said with a genuine smile befo
Chapter 183: Time Lapse
Xavier Exactly an hour later, Eliot returned. His face was as red as a red pepper and I suspected the meeting wasn’t as successful as he had hoped.He stormed to his seat and plopped down on his chair, the sound of his feet tapping against the carpet covered floor was a give away that all was not well. For a moment I was scared that the cameras did work and he was perhaps alerted by the security team on his way back. I took a deep breath, stood up and began to approach his desk with caution, just in case I was actually the one responsible for his soiled mood. “Is everything okay sir?” I asked when I was barely five feet away, my voice a lot softer than I intended it to sound.“Does everything look okay Montclair?!” He fumed and I took a step back, startled by the outburst. “My apologies sir.” I muttered, my voice breathless. “What is the matter?” I added.At this point, my heart was beating out of my chest and my finger crossed behind my back. He quickly spun his chair around to fa
Chapter 184: Serena’s Brilliance
Xavier I got home really late that day mostly because I intentionally spent time driving around the city because I didn’t want to see Damian or anyone and have to tell them what had transpired between Eliot and I.When I walked through the front doors I realized I didn’t fool anyone but myself and that I wasted the time I would have used to catch some sleep and get started on the sponsorship task. Everyone was seated in the living room, when I say everyone. I mean everyone including Mila, Eliana and even Serena, their expressions unreadable as all eyes turned to me.“Did someone die?” I asked with a smile trying to lighten the tension in the air but the disapproval on Victor’s face was enough to wipe the smirk off of mine.“Why are you coming home at almost midnight?” Damian fumed, the question reminding me of my father immediately.I took a deep breath and settled in a the space beside Victor on the couch. “I had to work late.” I muttered barely looking at anyone. “Don’t give me t
Chapter 185: Ship Set Sail
ElianaI was the first to return to my room after the meeting with Xavier. Honestly, I was completely zoned out for the most part of it and didn’t have a clue about what was discussed. I took a deep breath as I dropped on the bed, the wood creaking a bit beneath my weight. Getting my memories back had turned me into a complete shadow of myself and I couldn’t even talk to anyone about it because all attention was on Xavier’s mission and Pearl’s company. Clearly no one had time to sit and listen to me talk about memories that didn’t even matter anymore. But my nights were plagued with flashes of my family getting slaughtered and destroyed by Preston and his people. I was glad when Xavier said his company was crumbling down, not that it was enough to make up for all the damages he caused and everything he made Damian and I go through. Immediately there was a knock on the door and Pearl stormed in before I got the chance to even ask who it was. She stood in front me, her hands crossed
Chapter 186: Rekindled
Eliana“Be safe.” I said to Victor, leaning in to kiss his lips. He nodded and after that he went his way while Pearl and I continued our walk to the house.We got back to my room, shivering to our bones, I quickly took off the coat and put on a hoodie and some socks. I stared at Pearl as she did so too, he’s hands shaking from the cold. “Don’t you ever pull a stunt like this again.” I snapped, dropping on the bed. She scoffed, settling in beside me after placing her phone on the bed side table. “I’m going to pull way worse stunts if you ever decide to keep things from me and turn into some kind of shadow of yourself.” She spat, her voice a little shaky. I pursed my lips trying to hide my smile. I was lucky to have Pearl, a friend that notices when you’re unhappy or have a lot on your mind. I would never have spoken about it if she didn’t force it out of me because for some reason, I thought Damian should know first but then he was always so busy.I felt way better after coming cle
Chapter 187: The Henchman’s Visit
Xavier I finally got to the shared office with Eliot and for some reason, I wasn’t ready to get any work done, maybe because he wasn’t there to watch me with scrutiny and literally breathe down my neck.I settled into my work station, turning on the air conditioner as I leaned into the chair. I had to get some documents ready for a meeting at 2pm and it was already 11am. I really took slack off when your boss isn’t around personally by coming to work so late. I reluctantly turned on my laptop and began to lazily do the work. I scanned the table and found the cup of coffee that was always waiting for me whenever I came to work.I picked it up and took a sip, my face turning sour immediately because of how cold it was. I quickly put it down and rinsed my mouth with a bottle of water. That was enough to wake me up and get me into the usual work mood. I took my time to edit the documents, create tables where necessary and input important information, my hand tapping across the keyboard
Chapter 188: Random Visit
Xavier I could barely concentrate after Oscar’s visit and I was grateful Eliot wasn’t around for the day. If he was, I would have gotten an earful of warnings due to my absent mindedness. Immediately, there was a knock on the door. I muttered a soft come in completely uninterested in who the visitor was. I waited until I saw the well ironed brown trousers standing in front of my desk before looking up. It was a young man I had never seen before, probably in his early or mid twenties. I sized him up while he stood there blinking his blue eyes which he hid behind a huge pair of glasses at me. “How may I help you?” I asked weakly, my voice a bit dry. “Good afternoon sir.” He greeted me with a huge smile, his voice high with enthusiasm. Perhaps he was a new hire or an intern like me, were all interns supposed to be this cheerful?I blinked at him, my face expressionless while I waited for an actual answer to my questions. He cleared his throat as the smoke faded away immediately, “Th
Chapter 189: Serena’s Return To Battle
Eliana “Eliana could you go get Damian?” Mila asked as soon as breakfast was ready. Pearl and I were supposed to set the tables but I guessed she wanted to do it with Pearl instead. “Alright.” I replied with a little nod. I walked down the hallway, my heels tapping against the floor boards as I made my way to the study. As I got closer, I decided it was time for me to tell Damian about my memories so I could put them behind me. The soft murmur of voices stopped abruptly when I knocked on the door, and I felt a bit of curiosity as I wondered who was there with him. Damian's deep voice called out, "Come in," and I pushed the door open, my eyes scanning the room.Victor was leaning against the bookshelf, his arms crossed over his chest, a bit of anger on his face. The kind that would usually go unnoticed but I knew him too well.His gaze locked onto mine, and I felt a flutter of curiosity in my chest, but I kept my cool, my expression neutral. Damian, on the other hand, looked up f
