Chapter 58: Chapter 58

Lord Xander pov...

Finally, the most awaited moment of Victoria's life came through, Lord Xander on the other hand refused to let her out of his sight for a second, it was as if he was holding her hostage. she took a shower and changed into something simple but beautiful then together they stepped out of the room When Butler Sebastian came to inform them of the guest arrival.

She was so nervous that she decided to stay back while lord Xander attend to the guests.

" Xander am nervous I don't think it's right I meet them now, why don't you go ahead first then I will be with you shortly I need to calm my nerves"

" It's okay I understand but you have to come out very soon, except you want me to kill them before your arrival "

" Don't do anything stupid Xander just engage them in a conversation while I get myself mentally prepared to meet them "

" Okay if you say so please take your time, but don't keep me waiting for too long "

" Thanks, Xander I know I will always count on you "

" No problems "

He kissed the back of her palm and then walked out of the room, when he arrived at the waiting room, Alice and her parents were already sitting waiting patiently for him to come, when they saw him approaching them, they quickly got up to greet

" Good evening my lord, it's a pleasure to be invited to your mansion"

" Good evening to you too, please sit "

They all sat down quietly, Alice on the order hand couldn't hold back her joy, she was so happy that they all might lord Xander invited them to his mansion, she couldn't stop thinking highly of herself. Sir Desmond cleared his throat and then started a conversation.

" My lord, I don't know why you called us here told but if it's because of my daughter Alice I give you my blessings.

A bright smile appeared on my face when I said what this foolish old man just said .why do humans always behave like fools I said to myself.

" Save your breath sir Desmond, I called you here for a reason so wait till I tell you why I called you here before you start jumping to conclusions "

" Sorry my lord but...." just then Sebastian walked into the room and whispered something into my ears, when he was done passing the message across, he stepped back and stood behind me "

" Ah food is ready, please this way "

The Robinson family stood up and followed Sebastian to the dining room, the servants started dishing their meals, and Alice on the order hand couldn't hold back her happiness she quickly sat close to lord xander when the servants were done dishing the meal lord xander asked them to eat.

" Please you can eat now, I believe we could have a proper conversation"

" Yes my lord," said lady kate " You see my daughter Alice is a very good and caring child she was bought up right so you don't have a problem about her right " She turned to her husband, sir Desmond quickly tried to put in few good words for his daughter,

" You see my lord she's right my daughter Alice is the perfect woman any man could ask for, so you don't have to worry about anything "

They kept talking, but lord xander wasn't interested in their Petty talks, kept playing with the glass of blood placed in front of him, with his both legs crossed against each order and this hand on his cheek, he continued staring at them.

Suddenly they heard footsteps approaching them, Lord xander had a bright smile on his face when he saw the person descending the stairs.

" Just who I wanted to see, come here darling sit by my side I was becoming bored with their too many talks "

" Am here now darling "

When they saw the person approaching them, they were shocked, they couldn't believe their eyes, it looked as if they had seen a ghost, lady kate pointed at Victoria.

" You..you..evil child what are doing here, you are dead and you should remain dead, "said lady kate but Victoria don't say a word, she ignored the lady late and sat beside lord xander.

" Are you hungry " Asked lord xander with a smile on his face "

" Yes I am, can I eat this '

" You shouldn't eat that, it's specifically prepared for them you see "

" Really " She narrowed her eyes at lord Xander's words, why would he specifically prepare this mouth-watering meal for them, what's going on in this creature's head for crying out loud "

" Don't worry darling you will know very soon ' he whispered into my ears, Alice, on the other hand, felt like dying a million times, she didn't know what to say, she buried her head in her food, but with the look on her face, one could tell that Alice wasn't happy with Victoria's sudden reappearance.

"Okay back to the business of today, I believe you know her, "asked lord Xander

" Yes we do, she's our niece and a rebel she ran away from home with a man "

" Interesting, he turned to look at me then placed a kiss on the back of my palm "

" You didn't tell me you were going to run away with me my love "

" Oops my bad, I promise to inform you next time and definitely on time, "Victoria said sarcastically"

lady kate was losing her cool, she turned to look at her husband and then gave him a warning look to open his mouth and speak, suddenly sir Desmond interpreted us.

" My lord please if you will permit me to speak "

" Go a head am all ears sir Desmond "

" When you asked us to come to the mansion, I thought you wanted to court my daughter but right before our very own eyes you are having an intimate moment with her niece "

" Who do you I wanted to have anything to do with your ugly daughter "

" What, they were short of words by the remark lord Xander made about their daughter. Alice on the other hand was almost at the point of breaking down

Suddenly the smile lord Xander had on his face fell and the temperature of the room dropped to zero degrees.

" If you must know the food you have already eaten was poisoned, the poison you just consumed, it's very slow when it comes to killing its victims it's started by weakening your nervous system, paralyzing your whole body, then before killing its victim, but I can help you with the antidote if only you answer my question.

" They started to panic, Alice started trying her best to throw up the food she just ate but nothing came out "

" You are just wasting your time remember your clock has started clicking.

" Please my lord tell me what you want to know we will answer you please "

" Good I guess we are communicating now "

" Yes my lord please we don't want to die "

" Tell me why did you sell Victoria to the slave traders?"
