"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

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"
