Chapter twenty five He is not a murderer"A lady seeks you, milady." Theodore reported to Erin who sat in front of a television with a bored look on. She didn't seem to enjoy the channel and there was no way she could change it. But the moment he reported that, she beamed. "Heidi right?" "No. It's...Lexi Hughes, milady."Erin's jaw dropped immediately. She couldn't believe her ears. "Who...did you say is at the door?" "I won't let her in if you don't want me to."Erin was utterly surprised. Lexi brought herself to her home? The audacity... Nevertheless, she wasn't in the mood to face her then. "Do not let her in. Once my friend is here, let her in." She instructed. "Alright, milady." He bowed respectfully and left.RN GROUP"You have a visitor, sir." Jayden's secretary said. "Do I have an appointment with them?""Uh...no sir, but--" "You know better, miss. I don't do anything off-schedule."The lady brought her face down. "I'm sorry sir. I'll--" She was cut off as someo

Chapter twenty four Sick wifeAs Erin walked out of the room, she headed straight to her room and straight to the bathroom. She spat into the white basin angrily, turned on the water faucet and started washing her mouth thoroughly. When she was done, she turned it off and stared into the mirror before her. "Erin, calm down." She said to her reflection in the mirror and her red eyes started to whiten. Just then, the hot memories from earlier gushed in again and she let out a yell. She turned around to leave, with the intention to confront her husband once more but she lost balance and she felt her body hit the cold, wet, hard tiles with a full force. She let out a loud cry and alarmed Jayden.He came sprinting into the bathroom and met her groaning in pain on the floor. "Erin!" He called as fear was written all over him. He moved forward to pick her up but she gathered all strength and kicked his chin. "Stay away from me!" She yelped. Jayden's expression changed. "You're hurt. T

Chapter twenty three The sensation Jayden could never believe that being married to Erin would bring him so much joy. Even though she was usually cold to him, he felt the emptiness in his heart fill. Heartily, he headed to their unit with Theo. They also noticed his boss's strange mood that night. His steps were faster today and he was dancing without realizing it. Nevertheless, he asked no questions and just walked behind him loyally as he carried a brown paper bag.Reuben was greatly shocked and looked unstable upon seeing his boss. "What? Why do you look so shocked?" Jayden asked and walked in without getting a reply. Meanwhile, Erin and Dwayne were dining in the dining room. "What do you think of it?" Erin inquired with so much curiosity. "Hmmm..." He paused and chewed on the food. "It's tasty. Well done, sister." She didn't smile but she looked glad that she got a compliment. She frowned when she remembered Jayden telling her how salty her food was.They continued chatting

Chapter twenty two Her true potentialsIt was the next morning. About a day since Jayden left for S.K. Erin was literally enjoying her space alone with Reuben guarding her everywhere she went. As she settled for breakfast, some cloudy noises reached her ears. She was pretty sure it was from outside the apartment. Their apartment unit was the only unit on the floor. She dropped the toast she was about to bite and walked out of the apartment only to find Reuben in the act of beating up an unknown guy. "What is going on here?" Her cold, hoarse voice came out calmly. After setting his eyes on her, Reuben dropped the guy's collar he was holding and adjusted his ruffled jacket. "Never mind us, Milady. Please go back inside, I'll handle it.""By beating him up? Step aside Reuben." She ordered. Reuben had no choice but to follow her order. Erin helped the beaten guy up and squinted her eyes in surprise for some seconds as she looked at his face very closely. "Hi, I'm Dwayne. You must be

Chapter twenty one He's a twin!"Who are you to give me orders?" She raised an eyebrow.Jayden sighed. "If you really have to meet your friend, I'll drive you. It's pretty late." He said and stood up from the dining table. "I'll drive myself."She caught the tenacious look in his eyes and succumbed. It's not like she was going to meet her boyfriend anyway.Jayden frowned when he saw a man standing beside his car that was parked close to a reservoir. "Your friend is a man?" "Yeah, you got any problem with that?" Erin snapped calmly and unfastened her seatbelt, then got down from the car without giving him a chance to reply. She swung her long hair backwards as she walked towards Kian."Hi.""Hey. I see you came with your husband. Why? You were scared of coming out alone? You should've told me then I'd come pick you up.""He insisted on bringing me. Do not mind him, anyway. Why did you call me out?"Kian sighed. "Get into the car. It's chilly out here." Without giving it a second

Chapter twenty Who are you to give me orders?Beads of sweat formed on Jayden's forehead. His lips were broken and his face was awfully pale. He was injected with medications and then a plastic tube was put in his vein and connected to an IV."When will he wake up?" Reuben asked the doctor, which was Freddie. Freddie had arrived a few minutes after Erin and Theodore left for the company. Even though he was still an intern, he was capable of treating his older cousin."He should be awake any moment from now. I gave him strong and rapid-performing medications enough to make him wake up in a few minutes but he needs rest. So I'll be injecting the IV with sedatives." Freddie spoke like a pro. Reuben said nothing in reply and as Freddie was about to inject the sedatives, he glanced at Jayden whose eyes were widely opened now and his heart skipped a bit."You're awake?" Freddie said and Reuben turned around. "Boss."Jayden struggled to sit up. He stared at the tube connected to him in conf
