CHAPTER 5

Hence the moment he showed face about two months ago, prominent families saw it as an opportunity to link up their daughters with Xaden and so for the last two months, Xaden had been receiving invitations upon invitations off which he never acknowledged,to the whole world his wife may be dead but she was very much alive.

Xaden looked up to see that they were already in front of Reigns corporation,a huge glass sky scrapping company.

He removed his hand from his jaw and then creased brows,he remembered he was still yet to solve a mystery from Mira's accident a year ago and that was ' how exactly his wife Mira had landed up in that river?'

The place in which she had fallen was quite far from the car incident so how exactly did she end up there?, could it be that due to the shock of the incident,she unconsciously walked towards the bridge and then wobbled into the river,or could it be that someone else was there!!!!, Xaden didn't get it at all.

Mira's bride's maid who was supposed to be an eyewitness to the scene claimed to have passed out after the incident and didn't see anything and his good for nothing men also claimed to have seen nothing because the place in which the car had crashed into was covered with big trees that led to the bridge itself and so it was impossible for them to have a clear view of Mira's side as they were obstructed by the trees.

Xaden was still in his pool of thoughts when the door suddenly opened,one of his men had just opened the door to usher him out.

Xaden exhaled out before he climbed out of the car and upon his feet landing on the ground,all 79 floors of Reign Corporation was thrown into a frenzy as every staff upon hearing of the Boss's arrival began putting themselves in order,the gossipers who had left their office for a gist all hastily began to run back to their duty post.

Off recent,they all had been unable to predict when and when not Xaden was gonna be in the office and this was because for over the two months he'd resumed work, Xaden had never come to the office anything earlier than 10 in the morning which was so unlike the Xaden Reigns of before whose first name was punctuality as in the past,if he were to get to work before you,you'd be doomed but then he surprisingly changed after he resumed work after 10 long months

He wasn't always present in the office but the day he were to come,he was always late and also made sure to leave the office before 8:00pm unlike the former workaholic Xaden Reigns who could work straight from 8:00pm till 11:00pm without taking a rest, ' what then happened '?

With this newly developed habit of Xaden Coming late to work and not coming at times,his staffs were now unable to tell when and when not he was gonna be in the office hence they were always on high alert, watching to act busy and hardworking the moment they noticed any convoy of cars pull up in the building.

With Xaden's latest unpredictable acts,many people started thinking. ' why didn't he just continue staying home till he's ready to resume fully ' because they all knew that though Xaden hadn't been to work for over 10 months,he still had his businesses running and not just that, he still also had enough money for him to retain the position as the richest man in the country since the last 10 months despite being indoors for month

Off course he had so many things generating thousand of dollars for him on a daily basis while he sat at home, ever his land cruiser yatch generated so much money for him on a daily basis that it was said that the money in which the Land cruiser generated monthly was some business men and women's net worth,he was that stinky rich.

Xaden walked into the building,his body guards trailing right behind him as he totally ignored the greetings from his staff.

Just with their over the top composure, Xaden could easily guess that the office had been upside down a minute ago but then as usual,he didn't care as off recent,he had began to care less about his staffs behavior, letting all their stupid actions and mistakes slide as he had a lot about his wife going on his mind,unlike the Xaden Reigns of two years ago who could end someone's career for even the slightest provocation.

Xaden arrived at his luxurious cabin on the 18th floor which was made of glass walls portraying the beautiful view of the cars on the highway down there and other high rise buildings.

He loosened his tie before he slumped on his huge executive chair closing his eyes and looking exhausted as fuck,last night because he didn't want to sedate his wife to sleep,he had ended up not giving her the sedative pills as he wanted her to sleep on her own accord,well she did sleep but only after making him do lots and lots of frog jumps and also carrying her on his back, watching TV and some other stuffs before she finally slept at about 11:12pm,it was all so tiring and exhausting,not just for himself but for her too because her getting enough sleep and rest had contributed greatly to her improvement.

Seconds later,Xaden opened his eyes and the first thing his eyes fell on was a picture frame of him and Mira, both of them on suits,that was one of the pre wedding shoots they had a week before the wedding,they looked so happy in the picture and above all,so in love.
