FACADE
«
" Sh sh
you wouldn't want the eldest master to hear you,
so scary when angry like a wounded beast looking for prey."
"Get back to your duties all of you' the head
maid reprimanded on seeing them cluster
together neglecting their choirs
They all dispersed
Somewhere in a corner at the stair case
An icy smile appeared on Evelyn face a far
cry from usual gentle expression. The once
kind facade no where to be seen. Everything
had gone according to plan, she wanted
Xander to be estranged from his father and
isolated from everyone, with a bad
reputation to his name.
A sinister smile that looked eerie played in
her lip. wuth a gentle expression back on
her face as though the sinister look is
merely an illusion. She made her way through the elevator back to her room.
Ring Ring
"Hello son, her lips curl up in a smile
"How are you over there, I really miss you"
"Everything has been taken care of mum I would be back next week"
"Yea you know what I expect from you when you are back"
"Alright mum am all grown up there won't be any mistakes"
"You better ensure that, do take care of yourself mum is waiting".
"Who was that dear", smiling she hugged his arm
"Kai, he's been gone for a few years just miss him so much"
"I know it hasn't been easy for you ever since
you married me, even though am older than
you". A bitter smile flashed through his
eyes, a doting look replacing his usual stern aura
"Shh honey I have never regreted falling
for you back then, it was the most
wonderful decision ever". Resting her head
on his shoulder she fell in deep thoughtShe
knew how to act to make him feel guity
although he loved her didn't mean she
could make him out as a fool.
If she had overdone it, he would have
noticed something, being the
CEO of multinational companies raising it to
height it is now and at the helm power for
years, how sharp could one be.
"Alright don't be sad, how about calling Kai
later, does he need anything".
"Of course not you spoil him too much, he
should learn to be independent at his age
you shouldn't indulge him". A frown
replace the gentle smile on her charming
well maintained face.
"Humph you are too harsh on the younger
kids, while you keep the best for the eldest
sparing no cost to ask things for him, don't
even care about your own children being so
sparingly with them, as the eldest, should
show good example to his younger siblings".
"You are so bias towards him even if he
doesn't appreciate your help".
She lower her head to hide the pleasing smile on her face
"I just try to do what can be done to be
closer to him but I won't stop trying maybe
one day he will realize my efforts".
"Alright I won't discourage you, do whatever
you want, he his just like his mother that
stubborness in their bones".
"Enough about Xander how about my little
sweetheart, I miss my little princess so
much, when will she be back, she been in
her grandparents for so long".
"We spoke last night and she will also be back next week
"Alright Alright honey you need to leave for the office now."

"Man I must win this, just watch me take your money"
"Haha I think your luck has run out today, be ready to lose"
He look more colder today, their attention
turn to Xander whose expression is gloomy
Yea but no matter what he is a bowling ace
"Whoa! nice strike"
"Xander what is going on, you being sullen"
all day long at Brielle questioning they all
peck their ears, trying to come out as focus
on their games but the secretive glances at
him told otherwise
Bending down in position to strike the pins,
his movements paused then continue
"There is nothing wrong, aren't we all here to
have fun". His lips curled up into a playful smirk
"Stop trying to brush us off, we know you too well"
His face return to his icy look, it just a small matter I can handle it no worries
"Thumps up Brielle Jace mounted, no one
wants to be close to xander when in a bad mood.
"You sure have guts Caleb spoke far from Xander
"He is your friend you can't sit and do
nothing about his mood
If it had been any of us asking at heat of the matter we would have been a goner".
"Talk less play more"
"Hah what bad luck"
"Pay up pay up,no more excuses you lost the bet "
Jace smiled like a cat
With a scrowl on Caleb he scan the QQ and
transfer to him
"Am tired of this game how about we go test other."

"Yeh am quite interested, am almost bored
to death she cheered'.
They turned to Adrian.
"Neh I will skip"
"Alright off we go"
Enough Xander take a break, here have a
drink Adrian said
Patting his shoulder, "you sure you're good
Yea bro he uncocked the drink taking a sip
Just say when you want us to take action"
Haha so funny, they laughed along the way
"You guys are really something, If those
girls
you dated were to hear your words I wonder what their expression would be".
On getting to a machine game
"Ok brielle choose what you want and let
your big bro do the work", he twisted his
wrist ready for action.
"The red teddy "
"Alright here I go", Jace ha
ndled the
machine claw trying to pick the teddy after paying coins
"Gush you failed once again, am so tired"
Brielle snapped
"One last time, one last time "
"You keep saying the same over again",
"you've failed several times already".
