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
Chapter 45
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

Those eyes weren't his. That wasn't him. He wouldn't steal his company secrets because he is angry at his father. That wasn't him. He wasn't smart enough to see that as an option to rebel. "That isn't, me" Xander spoke up. "I know" Hunter responded "You believe me?" Xander questioned, doubt stewing his features. "We were together on this day" Hunter turned to his boss and stated. The little effort Hunter made to defend him caused his lip to tilt into a smile. "So who is this?" Xander asked to no person in particular. "We would have to find out how someone can impersonate you face so well and forget your eyes, unless.. " Hunter said and stopped as he reran his thoughts again. He slowly stood straight like found the answered to his unanswered question. He continued, "Unless he wants to be caught?" Xander nodded in affirmation as some puzzles were coming into place. "We need to know the files he took so we can know how to shield any attack." Hunter inputed ag

Xander washed the plates he used to feed Emily her breakfast and wore his suit, the last piece of clothing so he was ready for work. "Hunter is here" Trente called from the door as he welcomed Hunter in. Hunter had left for his apartment that morning to get ready for work. "Tell him to come to the kitchen" Xander said back and soon he heard some footsteps enter the kitchen. Hunter was met with a sight. Emily was holding tight to her father's neck, refusing to let go. "Emily, please, let go, I would back tonight" Xander promised. "I don't believe you" the little girl pouted and Xander turned to Hunter for help. His assistant raised his hand in surrenderance. Trente and Randy joined them. Randy smiled at the little girl attitude. Deep inside she wished she could to that. Hold Xander back from leaving for work but she remembered the tension she walked in the previous day. "Trente?" Xander changed his direction for help"I don't want to make a little lady mad so she is all yours"

"You were supposed to come straight home" Randy stated when she reach Xander. She had changed out of her red gown she wore to the ceremony and was now putting on sweats under a brown coat. She titled her head, a bit to see Hunter and said, "Didn't you tell him?" "I did" Hunter answered politely as he didn't want to anger Randy more than she already was. "Don't be mad at him, I was the one who wanted to see how the office was going in my absence and it's a good thing I came or I wouldn't have kno-" Xander said with a nervous smile before Randy shut him short. "Your dad wants you home and that's final, let's go" Randy said and took Xander's hand leading him towards the entrance. "But I still have to check the video" Xander said and turned to Hunter for assistance. His tired assistance just rolled his eyes and shove his hand into his pant pocket. "You can check it tomorrow" Randy responded, "You don't even know how worried your family are?" Randy mumbled. "What did you say?" Xande
Chapter 41
Everything in the HQ seemed as normal as it could be on a day with an external occasion. Hunter parked the car next to the few cars still parked in the parking lot, likely cars of staff working overtime.The company night view was stunning. The neatly arranged lights on the high fence illuminated on the glass walls of the building.In summary, it was a beautiful view."You don't have to follow me, I would be quick" Xander said and when he heard Hunter highlight the car after him.Hunter didn't bother responding as he felt tired and stress at the same time. The sooner they leave here, the sooner he could rest, he thought.Hunter walked into the building and Xander sighed at his snobbish behavior then followed him. He knew his assistant was annoyed with him but he couldn't help the tingling feeling that something was wrong.On entering the building, they heard voices in the reception and it seemed like they were arguing. The voices belonged to five of their employees who gathered round
Chapter 40
Xander's eyes narrowed as he watched Hermia accept the award on his behalf. The room seemed to fade into the background, and all he could focus on was the smug smile spreading across Hermia's face. He felt a surge of anger and embarrassment, his mind racing with questions. Why had Hunter not told him about the ceremony? And what was Hermia's motive for accepting the award?As he stood there, frozen in shock, the audience began to murmur and whisper to each other. Xander's face burned with humiliation, and he knew he needed to take action. He took a deep breath, pushed through the doors, and strode towards the stage. At the last moment, he made a turn and went to his family table and took a seat beside Randy. The empty seat on his other side was soon occupied by Hunter. "Why didn't you go on stage and get your award from that heartless bitch" Randy said with urgency in a low voice as she glared at Hermia. The lady in question got down from the stage with no care for the world. "I'm

The ear muff did little to block out the whooshing sound of the helicopter, and it was even more distressing when he could hear his heart raging against his rib cage after what Hunter just said."What did you just say?" Xander asked, clenching and releasing his fist. Hunter found it surprising and somewhat amusing to see Xander, who usually presents himself as confident in public, displaying such anxiety in private."You have an award ceremony to attend today, and from what I gathered from Max, the media doesn't know of your disappearance." Hunter said, mildly irritated, as he closed his eyes and folded his arms over his chest, feeling more annoyed by the whooshing sound of the helicopter.Xander stared at his assistant with his mouth jarred open, at lost of words.This all started after Hunter informed him about going home. Hunter pressured him to take a bath in their traditional bathroom, stating he won't have enough time to do so because of the ceremony."What ceremony?" Xander had
