Shameless Father

"You can go ahead and believe she's dead. So now, you can leave my house." He concluded, his tone firm and leaving no room for arguments. 

Mr Wallace only smirked at Xavier's statement. 

"You will need to remarry, Xavier. I'm sure you must still be in shock after what happened to her. We'll pay the Clark family some visits and sympathize with them. Then we will talk about your marriage." Xavier didn't respond as he watched his father give him his back as he left the mansion. 

With a sigh, Xavier went to his bedroom and hit the sack.

Xavier was in his bedroom when he heard some faint voices from downstairs. He grumbled in annoyance, fetching his phone from the drawers and checking the time. 

It was already noon. 

He hissed under his breath as he quickly sprang up from the bed, combing his hair with his fingers to chase the drowsiness away from his eyes.
