Xavier POV.

"You're fired" I said with no empathy.

I'm Xavier Robinson, a man of his words, I hate to talk twice, just one cell phone can either destroy or build one's life. I have so much power with so much wealth. I am twenty nine of age, raised with no heart to love. I'm a well built person, and I ain't into love.

My parents who cares more of status and power, they wanna benefit from one.

"Get all his stuff out of this place, it gives me bad luck. And I cant stand bad luck" I said to the security as I leave the company.

My car was packed outside, the car door was opened and I entered. Receiving a call from my mom

"Son, come home for dinner. We would be having dinner with one of you father's business men today. Don't be late" My mom said and hung the call before I could even respond.

That's how I was raised, when I was a child I barely eat thrice a day, always stocked to reading, disciplining, tattooed never to smile, and never to show my weakness.

In the evening, I wore my black suit, white inner shirt, a black pants accompanied with my black shoe, with my gold wristwatch. After combing my hair and checking myself in the mirror, no girl wont be able to resist me for my look. I had the face of every girl dream man, buh not interested in having any.

I arrived at family house at exactly 7pm, and I was told they were already at the villa, settled down. I went straight to the place and all eyes were fixed on me, why won't it? I am the life of the party.

I proceeded to taking my chair next to mom. I saw a young and gorgeous girl seated right next to me, buh shifted my gaze to my father's business man and friend

"Evening" I said

"You've grown too fast Xavier" He complimented,

But paid deaf ears to what he just said

"I have heard a lot about this young gentleman sitted here, and you've grown to be like your dad" He added

My dad? Definitely, no sign of care, sign of love, nothing. And I like the man my dad turned me into

"Xavier" I was called out by my dad

"Do you remember Rachel, your long time friend?"

How does he expect me to remember a girl, when I don't remember the last time I smiled or the last time I sat down with both parents.

"Rachel is your girlfriend" He broke the shell.

I looked at him with nothing but hatred, and stared at mom thinking if she was gonna talk anything about what dad just said. I wasn't a small boy, I was a grownup but before my parents eyes, I was considered as just a little child that has no destination.

"Not happening" I said

My mom stared at me, and wanted piercing my soul with her eyes, if it were possible I would have already been dead.

"Do not mind him, he had a bad day at work" My father said to his friend

I just stood up and left to the garden. My father cannot suggest what I do in life or who I keep to be my girlfriend. My mum followed me to the garden, crossing her hands under her chest.

"Son" She called out

I gazed at mom, and saw the rage in her eyes.

"Did you just disobey your father? He raised you, even if you are a self made billionaire, you should learn to be a subject unto your father's orders"

I signed. "Like a puppet?" I asked

"Xavier, it's for your own good. Date Mr. Robert's daughter and you will benefit your own company. Your company will grow more" She said

My company will grow more? What's that suppose to mean? I can make my company grow more without dating some rich man's daughter. My parents are talking rubbish.

"I'll think about it" I said and left the house.

I entered my car and zoomed off.

Where was I going to? I don't know buh I knew I was going to somewhere. My phone started to ring and it was my bestfriend Ephraim. I picked it.

"Hey man" He said

"What's up?" I asked

"I heard you got one of your employee fired today. Why does it keep happening Xavier?" He asked

"They do not know how to do their job. And I hate to have that kind of people in my company" I said

I heard sounds coming from the other side but decided to ignore the sound

"Seriously Xavier? Well i called to let you know that there will be partying next month in one of my bars. Endeavour to be there"

"Sure" I then hung up.

Catherine POV.

I'm Catherine Daxton, I lost both my parents in a car accident a week before my birthday. If I had known they were gonna die I would have followed them. What a silly thought I got there? Of course, life wasn't showing me mercy.

After my parents death, I was taken by my uncle who claimed to love me, but only to use me to fulfill his desire, buh when I refused to sleep with him, he tortured me and made my life a living hell, I had to report him to his wife, but she never believed me, she thought I was libeling him. So, I was sent out of the house after ten years of my stay in that house.

Went from one place to another begging for food and place I could lay my head, how frustrating. After two weeks of being outside and hawking oranges, I came across one of my childhood friend, who was my bestfriend. She couldn't believe I have become like this with no life in me.

She welcomed me into her mansion and made me live with her. She was a God sent. She introduced me to a rich man who owns a bar, and the rich man agreed for me to start serving drinks in his bar. I was glad, my life changed from worse to better. I can wake up next day and be glad to say I got food to eat and place to rest my head.

I served in that bar for a month and the pay was quite outstanding
