Deception 2

**

As Xavier walked into his company, the room fell silent for a brief moment before erupting into a harmonious chorus of "Good morning, sir!" His employees stood up, their faces bright with respectful smiles.

Xavier acknowledged their greeting with a subtle nod, his expression stern and preoccupied. His eyes scanned the room, taking in the bustling activity, before he continued toward his office.

The click of his designer shoes on the polished marble floor echoed through the silent hallway. His assistant, Rachel, stood outside his office door, a warm smile on her face.

"Good morning, sir. Your schedule for the day is on your desk," she said, her voice soft and efficient.

Xavier nodded again, his gaze already fixed on the papers awaiting him.

"Alright, Rachel. Hold all calls for now."

"Yes, sir."

Rachel stepped aside, allowing Xavier to enter his spacious office. The door closed behind him with a soft thud, enveloping him in silence.

Xavier's office was a testament to his success: sleek, modern furniture; floor-to-ceiling windows offering a stunning city view; and a massive, polished mahogany desk dominating the room.

He dropped into his leather chair, the soft creak a comforting sound. His eyes scanned the papers on his desk, his mind already focused on the day's challenges.

His mind went to Imani, thinking about her?

Not like he cares about her or something.

It's just an arranged marriage for them.

His conscience chirped into his thought

'At Least have some human feelings and don't act shameless coz' you know you are married but didn't want to accept it '

~Xavier Mansion~

Imani sat in the grand mansion, her heart still heavy with the weight of Xavier's betrayal. But as she gazed at her reflection in the mirror, a spark of determination ignited within her.

She would not let Xavier's infidelity define her. She would rise above it.

She will make him regret what he has done by making fall in love with her.

To make her plan come true, she must at first lose weight to make her body and face a new good look.

With newfound resolve, Imani grabbed her phone and typed: "How to lose weight fast and healthy?"

Google yielded countless results. She devoured articles, blogs, and videos, absorbing every tip and trick.

Next, she searched for gyms nearby. The upscale "Elegance Fitness" caught her eye.

Imani stood up, her mind made up. She dressed in comfortable workout attire and headed to the gym.

As she entered Elegance Fitness, the receptionist greeted her warmly. "Welcome! Are you here for a trial session?"

"Yes," Imani replied, her voice firm.

The receptionist handed her a towel and a membership brochure. "Let's get you started. Our personal trainer, Alex, will show you around."

Alex, a fit and energetic woman, introduced Imani to the gym's state-of-the-art equipment.

"First, we'll assess your fitness level," Alex explained, leading Imani to the treadmill.

Imani's determination fueled her as she began her transformation journey.

Sweat dripped from her brow as she walked, then jogged, on the treadmill. The burn in her muscles felt empowering.

"This is just the beginning," Imani whispered to herself.

Over the next few weeks, Imani dedicated herself to her new fitness regimen:

- Morning jogs around the mansion's grounds

- Intense gym sessions with Alex

- Healthy meal planning and portion control

- Meditation and yoga for mental clarity

With each passing day, Imani's physique transformed. Her curves became more defined, her energy levels soared.

But her goal went beyond physical change. She sought to reclaim her confidence, her sense of self-worth.

Xavier would regret underestimating her.

She knows he is irritated by her coz' of her fatness.
