A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter nine Their stories
Chapter nine. Their storiesCITY A. Beauty Hour Salon."Be careful there." Lexi snarled at the lady massaging her toes. Trembly, the young lady apologized and carried on with her work clumsily. Getting Lexi pissed off gradually.Then another lady who looked older walked into the room. She was the manager of the studio. With a smile, she said, "When would you like to get your hair done ma'am? A stylist is free at the moment." "Tsk. I have to wait for some stylist to be free of clients in my own studio...just wonderful. I'll be there in a few minutes.""Alright ma'am. I'd like to make a report." The manager continued.Looking bored, Lexi replied lazily. "Let's hear it.""The sales this month are 11% lower than last month's." "What?" Lexi got worked up all of a sudden. With her body jerking up in the pedicure chair she was in. "How on earth did that happen? I thought I made it clear that the sales should keep rocketing and never plummet?""You did ma, but--" "Shut up!!!""You've bo

Chapter ten. The resultsFew days after. "Ma'am, a woman seeks you." Blain informed her through the intercom. With a pen in one hand, she went through a document and with the other, she held the intercom. She was clearly dissatisfied by the information. She had a lot to do and seeing anyone was the least she wished for."Do I have an appointment with her?" She inquired in a cold tone."Hm...no."Erin let out a slight sigh. "So? You've been working with me for a quite a while now. You know the rules. I'm busy." She snapped and dropped the call.And in some minutes, someone barged into her office. She looked up instantly with a frown. Blain scurried after the figure that intruded her office. "Excuse me, what's going on here?! This is an official environment and you can't just barge in like it's your house!" Erin roared angrily. Her anger soon faded when she saw who it was. She became suddenly weak in the knees and her head throbbed. She didn't want to believe her eyes. "Emilia?"
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter eleven Don't do it
Chapter eleven Don't do itShe stood out there, in the cold. It was very dark outside and she realized how much time they had spent dining. Even though she had no appetite to eat, she couldn't excuse herself from the table abruptly. Then after dinner, she needed some fresh air and privacy. And came outside.It was more worse outside than where she came out from. She literally thought she could get some privacy being away from the family members but she was wrong. Lookouts littered everywhere. They stood meters away from each other, standing upright, keeping their guards up, and almost never blinking their eyes in several minutes. They had wiretapping devices on and probably, had firearms on them.On a side of the main building, where she was, there were close to twenty men. And as she sized them all up with discontentment, one man walked towards her from a different direction. As soon as he got to her, he curtsied her before he started to talk. "Milady, is there anything you need out
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter twelve Her uncle Rowley
Chapter twelve Her uncle Rowley."I couldn't just stand by and watch that bastard... ""Rowley...no foul words." Erin cautioned with a frown and Rowley raised his hands in submission. "Yes ma'am.""So, I couldn't just stand watching him and his so-called wife treat you that way so I decided to go make money then come for you. Your father would probably take it to court and I know very well that the the tribunal wouldn't favour a penniless man." Rowland explained."First of, he is no longer my father. And secondly, you should've told me." She sulked and hit his arm playfully. He chuckled. "Then you would've broken into uncontrollable tears and make him find out about us.""I wasn't that little." She protested with a scowl and he laughed again. Eventually, she also joined him. And in that short while, she reminisced their first encounter. The first time she met him was on her mother's funeral. Maryam. The one she called a father didn't spend five full minutes at her mother's grave and
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter thirteen Bloody!
Chapter thirteen Bloody! "Look at you...looking prettier than ever." Darcey squealed happily after the stylists and make-up artists declared they were done with Erin. They left the dressing room immediately and the bride's friends were allowed in. Darcey and Heidi. Her bridesmaids. "I know right. She stuns in that simple dress. Ugh...i envy your beauty, Erin." Heidi remarked and they all laughed. No one could see through Erin. What she portrayed was different from what she felt on the inside. Heidi knew the truth but Darcey didn't. Maybe Heidi understood her but wasn't trying to show it? Well, it was her wedding. The first and probably the only one in her lifetime. She didn't intend to enjoy any bit of it. She was just going to play the 'happy' bride for that day. "I'd like to see the dress fully." Darcey requested, interrupting her thoughts. Erin smiled broadly before she stood up from the dressing stool and walked to the long mirror fixed to the wall on a side of the room. "
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter fourteen The aisle
JChapter fourteen The aisle"Brodick!" Erin screamed in fright. She gasped in fear as she watched him groan in pain while he pulled out the blade from his shoulder joint. Without hesitation, he drove the weapon through the assassin's belly.She tried to touch him but he moved back,maintaining a good distance from her."You mustn't touch me, milady. I'm fine. Please stay back in the car.""But--""Milady! It's still dangerous out here. Please go back in." Erin had no choice but to comply. Despite being injured and being in pain, Brodick made sure to take down all the men.Just then, a train of cars arrived at the scene. Erin let out a great sigh of relief when she set her gaze on Theodore. Her heart skipped two beats when she saw that one person she wasn't expecting. And briefly, she thought if everything that happened was schemed. Of course someone wanted her assassinated but on the Reynolds' side, it was kinda confusing.He headed towards the car she was in and opened the door.
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter fifteen Her new family
Chapter fifteen Her new familyShe never explored the house the first time she came. The house seemed more spacious on the inside than the exterior looked. She had walked up a long, curvy stairway, following the lead of a maid. They finally got to the second floor and she was thrown into an ocean of astonishment. There were several doors that probably led to bedrooms.The maid stopped in front of a room and turned to her. "My lady, this is your room. All your things have been put in place. Do you need anything else?"Erin was absent-minded for a second. "Nothing. You can leave now, thank you."After the young lady left, Erin held the knob and pushed the door.It was her room. Of course. She stepped in and her heart skipped a beat. Her gaze rested on a hefty-looking frame who was half bare. He was shirtless,standing behind the handrail at the upper balcony with his rear turned to her. She was utterly shocked to find him there and it didn't seem like he noticed her presence. They wer
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter sixteen He's here
Chapter sixteen He's hereIt was Monday. After getting dressed for her supposed business date, she stepped out of the house. Dylan had gotten enrolled in an elementary school under RN Group. Freddie and Freya seemed to hold positions in the family's establishment but she wasn't sure. Grandma Lucy, mother Scarlett and Auntie Harriet were the only ones at home and they were heading out anytime soon. She had been invited to the outing but too bad, she had business to attend to. As she stepped out of the main building, a black jeep parked in front of her and a man in black suit slighted the car. He walked over to her and inclined his head in respect. "I'm Reuben. I'll be your driver and bodyguard from now on, Milady." "What? Whose orders?""Young master Jayden." Erin exhaled. She was starting to feel suffocated. She dipped her hand inside her handbag and brought out her phone. Then she put a call through to Jayden."What's the meaning of all these? A driver? Bodyguard? Who said I ca

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
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter twenty four Sick wife
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
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter twenty-three The sensation
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
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter twenty-two Her true potentials
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."

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

Chapter nineteen Standing in"12 p.m. it is then. I'll see you soon." She replied and dropped the call, then strode to the kitchen."Gosh...i'm starving." She muttered under her breath and looked into all the kitchen cabinets. Then she wore a look of setback on. "Shit! I can't believe there are no groceries." She cried. She hadn't gone grocery shopping ever since they moved in. It was either she ate out or got food delivered. She had been too occupied with setting up the house to her own taste. Jayden allowed her. He never interfered. He seemed okay with whatever she wanted. Finding out who bought her company and running her business from afar was a real tussle.She went into her room and came out, dressed casually. She noticed the door to his room was opened ajar. However, she ignored him and went out. Getting back in after two hours, she dropped the groceries and she noticed the position of Jayden's door never changed. She looked around the house too and not even the tiniest obje
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter eighteen Not again
Chapter eighteen Not againJayden entered the office with an expressionless look on and Theodore trailed behind him. "How did the meeting go?""I told them to make a decision. We'll be having a meeting again in a few days.""Your family members has been calling continuously." Theo announced and Jayden seemed uninterested."Just ignore their calls." "Your wife called too.""What?" It seemed to grab his attention. "And why am I just hearing this now?" "I'm sorry sir, but--""Forget it. Give me the phone.""Is everything okay with you?" He asked as soon as she picked the call."I should be asking you that. Where have you been? Father has been trying to reach you but to no avail.""I was in an important meeting.""Either way, I'm on my way to the family house now. My presence was requested and so was yours."***They happened to arrive at almost the same time. Erin wondered how he managed to get there in such a short period. When they entered the house, it was quiet. Not as usual bec
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter seventeen Fitting in
Chapter seventeen Fitting inErin returned back to the family manor after taking a short tour around town with Kian. It was as quiet as it used to be, on the outside. She walked in and heard the ladies giggling from a part of the house."I'll go get it." She heard Scarlett say. Scarlett stopped in her track out of the kitchen on setting her eyes on Erin. "Erin." She called with a very broad smile. "You're back. Come join us in the kitchen." It wasn't a request. An order that nicely came out.Grandma Lucy and Harriet were in the kitchen. The ladies were obviously preparing some dishes, making the maids and butler excuse them. "Come here, help me chop these vegetables." Grandma Lucy reached out to her and she complied quietly. The ladies were chatting but she couldn't chip in. Not that. She wasn't actually good at socializing. With people older at that."Erin." Scarlett called out of the blue."Yes mother.""You and Jayden has spent a few nights together so far...and I want to believ
