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

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 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 one Crossing boundaries
Chapter one Crossing boundaries HS Noble Hotel"The rooms on the 15th and 16th floors will be refurbished into VIP rooms." Ronnie, Erin's older stepbrother and the vice president of HS announced and she furrowed my brows."Management team, take charge of the refurbishment and get the budget from the accounting team. You must get it done within two weeks." He instructed."But why?" Erin objected and all eyes fell on her. "Two floors became VIP floors recently." "Are you questioning my orders?" Ronnie roared angrily."No, I'm not. I'm only demanding a solid reason why we should create additional VIP floors. Ten floors are now VIPs'. The average people will be at a disadvantage if we make this change." She said. She could feel Ronnie's scorching glare. "How many of you are in support of what she just said?" He asked the other staffs and everyone raised their hands.Ronnie suddenly banged the table with his fists and yelled. "Y'all want to get fired?!" Their hands dropped immediately

Chapter two Could it be more better?Jayden sat on the couch a little distance from Erin's bed and observed her as she dozed off. He found himself grinning as he scrutinized her face in both directions. She appeared innocent, at least based on the soft morning sun that lit up her face among the white sheets. Her appearance really confused him.She had lovely lips, long, thick lashes, a long, pointed nose, and well-groomed eyebrows. Since the previous evening, he had decided to wait until she woke up.He sipped from the cup of hot coffee that the hotel room service had brought him before entering the shower.His phone rang as he was walking into the room. "Theo" was identified on the caller ID. Boss." He dialed. "Greetings, Theo. I have to cancel everything today since I'm so busy." He gave an instruction.But just as Theodore started to object, Jayden interrupted him once more. "Theo, there is no but. For the past two years, I have consistently worked 100 hours every week. I'm going

Chapter three Erin Charlton."You can't pay with this card ma'am. The account has been frozen." The receptionist told Erin and her jaw dropped. Frozen? The Hughes were not satisfied with kicking her out and now they freeze her own bank account?She clenched her fists in resentment. They would hear from her very soon. She vowed and left the hotel.Few months later. CITY B. TONY'S CAFÉ."Erin, you're gonna be alright? I feel bad about leaving you here alone. You're heavy also." Darcy whined.Erin flashed a smile. "I'll be alright. Your date is important also. Go and have fun darling."Darcy pouted. "You can go on your maternity leave, sister. I'll just hire a part-timer.""I want to do this." Erin insisted, leaving Darcy with no choice. Darcy planted a kiss on her cheek before kissing her baby bump. "Be good to mummy, Moon."The bells at the entrance glass doors jingled, announcing that someone was around, most probably, a customer. "Welcome to Tony's café." Erin said as she raised h
A dark night with Mr Reynolds Chapter four That mark!
Chapter four That mark!Jayden was gobsmacked and couldn't believe his eyes. He watched her alight from the car and walk into the hotel. He was about to subconsciously go after her when the man from earlier stood in his way again. He gave the lady that was now almost out of sight one more look before entering the Limousine. He kept mute throughout the drive as different thoughts ran across his mind. He seemed restless and his heart was thumping at a fast pace.The limousine abruptly stopped and he lunged forward and then back into his seat swiftly. Outraged, he yelled. "What's the problem?!" "Sir, some black vans just crossed our paths." The driver reported.Jayden creased his brows and then it became clear to him. "Go out and find out what's going on." He ordered. Many men in complete black outfits stepped out of the vans, looking ferocious and ready for violence. Jayden's entourage alighted their cars too and stepped forward. So did Theodore.The men in black were identified a

His veins popped up on his forehead and neck.Jayden bowed his head a little. "I'm sorry.""I don't need your apology. Give me an adequate reason!" Jayden sighed a little. "No reason." He replied calmly and a moist palm hit his right cheek. Arthur hit him. "Honey." Scarlett let out in a breaking voice and carefully rushed over to her son.Jayden didn't budge and he maintained his composure. In no time, his cheek was carrying a red handprint. "You are very stupid for having no reason and making our family look like fools!" Arthur blurted."I'm sorry." Jayden apologized again, infuriating his father the more. Just then the the grannies, the twins and their mother walked into the living room on the second floor. Granny Lucy quickly darted over to Jayden and Scarlett when she spotted the handprint on his face. "I'm sorry for disappoi

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

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
