CHAPTER 7

"speaking of her Xaden " Daniella continued. "would you mind if I came along with you later to come see her,you know it's been a long while now" she added in a small sympathetic voice that sounded as though she'd missed Mira.

"And what exactly do you need to see her for " Shawn chipped in with a pissed face,

Although Daniella never showed it but Shawn knew she had always disliked Mira in the past all because Xaden loved her and had chosen to marry her and this he noticed from the tone she usually used on Mira and also from the side glares she gave whenever Mira was with Xaden,she was clearly bitter which made Shawn to feel that Daniella might have been in love with Xaden at that time and that was why she was probably acting like that.

" And what's your business if Its my wish to go see her" Daniella retorted as serious as ever,she'd been doing everything in her power to avoid this ginger head today but it seems he was always rooting for a fight with her.

Seeing the two starting to grow claws, Xaden could only palm his forehead in frustration ' these two! wherein the world could be ending but would never agree on anything,he just knew they were about to get on each other's throats '

"Your presence is not needed there as you'll only cause her stress " Shawn attacked back with the same tone she had used on him.

At this point, Daniella was already starting to rage. " Idiot you..."

"Hey hey hey hey hey " Xaden suddenly cut her off with a time out gesture. " You two,if you wanna fight, please make do to first of all leave my office okay,take your beef somewhere else cause right now I'm too tired to be stressed more than this " he added warning the two who were still throwing daggers at each other

"But he's the one who started it Xaden, you saw it" Daniella complained as she turned towards him looking for support.

Xaden's palm remained on his fore head as he stared at the still unfinished file on the table,he already had enough stress last night and now these two were at it again. " It's fine if you wanna come see her Daniella but not today" he finally said raising his head up a bit " tommorow" he added before his eyes returned back to his work.

As soon as the words left Xaden's mouth,a smug smile was quick to appear on Daniella's lips ,she then glared at Shawn before she stood up preparing herself to leave,with Shawn being here,she certainly couldn't stay here any longer or else they might end up fighting as usual.

"Okay then Xaden, tomorrow it is"

"Mmm"

"I'll see you around" Daniella waved before she finally turned around to leave the room after giving Shawn a deadly glare,both of them were the true description of the feud between a cat and a mouse.

Few minutes later, Xaden called to check up on his wife but he was told she was still asleep so he had to hang up and continue his work.

It was exactly 7:00pm when Xaden left the office,once again leaving the office before his employees and also Shawn to be in charge.

"As Xaden was driven home,he was looking exhausted as hell as he'd basically done so much work in the office today to make up for the two days he hadn't been in the office and today he'd also done a whole lot of signings.

On their way home, Xaden stopped by to get some Ice cream and cake for his wife,he had always made it a duty to get her food or stuffs whenever he was returning from work,a kind of compensation for leaving her and besides,he had promised to get her ice cream in the morning and hence he had to get it for her,all these little things Xaden did was one of his ways of building his wife's trust in him and hence if he told her she was gonna have ice cream,she knew he definitely was gonna get it for her.

40 minutes later, Xaden and his entourage arrived at the Reigns Mansion,the men in black on night duty had just taken their positions, surrounding every corner of the building like robots,the entire Mansion under the dimly lit moon looked cool and quiet and apart from the men on duty that night and the different flashy cars of all types that surrounded the house like a fanthom, nothing else was in sight.

Upon coming down, Xaden stepped through the door loosening his tie,his handsome face a mask of fatigue and weakness but as he looked around,his expression transformed in an instant as his eyes began searching all over the Living room for one soul,his favorite person in the world.

'where is she' he asked himself,his eyes still searching around as he marched towards the stairs to check their room,and it was at that moment Nanny Calista emerged from the kitchen and as soon as she noticed him,she bowed her head to greet him.

"Good evening to you Sir" she greeted from behind.

Xaden turned around to look at her before he opened his mouth. " Yeah,w-where's my wife"

"She's in her play room sir,she's been there since lunch"

"Oh really"

"Yes sir"

"Okay well,what did she have for lunch"

"Madam requested for Spaghetti and I prepared just that sir" the Nanny replied.

Xaden bit his lower lip before nodding his head,he turned and then continued moving upstairs,his eyes sparkling in his excitement to meet his wife after hours apart.

Upon reaching the third floor,he turned left and then walked straight towards a room whose door was wide open.
