“Ha ha… No… Ermm, well, yes. I wanted to but… but I then remembered, she has an online class… yes, a class.” She stuttered, while thinking of what to say. Jayden steadied his gaze at her and his eyes were icy, and piercing. Like they would kill her. His smile had vanished, and he had the devil’s warning look. No one needed to tell Loverina that she was a dead meat. She used her eyes to beg for mercy. “Huh? A meeting by this time of the night?” Loverina started laughing as Alexis asked. She wished Alexis would just stop asking questions and, rather, believe her lies. Jayden was taking note and his face wasn’t welcoming.“Yes. The thing is, she has an online meeting with her boss. She told me they have an appointment.” She lied again and this time, Alexis bought it.Loverina stammers whenever she tells a lie but, she had to organize an answer in her head before opening her mouth, to avoid issues from raising. Even if Alexis believed, Jayden knew the truth that she has no friends. He onl
Loverina on the other hand did not utter a word. She couldn’t even raise her head to look at him.“You startled us. But, what are you doing here?” They were close to Alexis’ room. It was a bit far from Jayden’s. “Want to sleep in my room too?” Alexis asked, folding her hands.“Hell no. To sleep in a room with two silly girls. Nahhh… I will pass……. I only came to wish my girlfriend a goodnight. You already stole her from me and now, I will have to hug my pillows.” Jayden joked and Alexis started laughing but, it didn’t get Loverina. She was lost in thoughts.“Awwwwnnn…. This is so romantic. What about me? I too, deserve a goodnight.” Alexis protested. “You want me to kiss you on the lips? I don’t want mum to kill me please.” He joked again and Alexis hit him on the chest.“I wonder what Loverina saw in you.” She turned to face Loverina to see someone who is probably lost in her own world.Jayden noticed too and walked up to Loverina, “Are you okay?” He asked waking her back to reality
Bethel opened her eyes a bit, to see her husband sneaking back in. He turned towards her, and she immediately pretended to be fast asleep. He waved his hand over her face and got no unusual activity. Seeing she wasn’t moving, he gently walked to the other corner, took off his clothes, and smelled it to know if his thoughts were correct.As Bethel intentionally moved her right leg, Doris swallowed hard and dropped his clothes immediately. Not minding what he initially had in mind, he crawled on the bed gently, like a thief, trying to climb down through an opened window. He lifted the bedsheet, and laid down on the bed like a sloth. Bethel, then, turned to his side with her eyes still tightly shut. Immediately, he covered himself with the bedsheet and started snoring. What a fool he was. He didn’t even know himself that much. Even if she wouldn’t suspect, but snoring exposed him already. The only thing she knew too well about her husband was that, he never snores when sleeping. She is
Bethel couldn’t point out what the cloth was smelling like. She again opened the cloth broader to find out what is literally the source of the offense smell. And It was blood stains.“Can you see this too?” She asked lily to gain her attention.“Huh? Is something wrong?” Lily inquired as she approached. The shock expression on Bethel’s face evidently expresses the notion that something was amiss.“No, no. nothing to trouble yourself with. You can return to with what you were doing. It’s my husband's cloth. I don't know how it got here. Maybe he changed here and forgot this one.” She claimed and got up, folding the cloth so Lily doesn’t see the blood stains too.Two things worried her and that was, how the blood stains. It can’t be menstruation, and from whom? Margaret?“Can you not let Margaret know I was here?” Lily nodded. Even still she doesn’t know the exact reason why Bethel suddenly wished to leave and doesn’t want Margaret to know of her visit.It can’t be that Bethel stole some
“You are not leaving this room. Where do you think you are going? Do you have proof? Loverina has nothing to do with me.” “So why is the one from tonight covered in a woman’s perfume, and it's not mine? You better let me go. I need to tell that bitch what’s on my mind… You are yet to explain the bloodstain, but first, let me deal with that lady first.” Bethel struggled with all she could, but Doris held her very tight and was dragging her to the bedside.But while they were both struggling; she for freedom and him, to avoid her from leaving the room. He was almost close to the bed when he felt a sharp pain between his legs and knelt down, covering his private area as he cried aloud while rolling on the tiled floor.“Ahhh… you psycho woman! Why did you hit my balls? Jesus Christ. You are insane.” He yelled as Bethel stood above, watching him roll and groan in pains.She, too, couldn’t believe she could but, it felt a lot better seeing him like that.“I should have kicked it more than
They stood just at the front of Alexis' room door. Jayden knocked on the door even before Bethel would make any move. Because of the dramas, he has become eager to know what Loverina was doing.He knocked again on the door.“Who is that, and what is it you want by this time of the night? Don’t you sleep?” Alexis’ voice was heard from the other side.From the tone, she was walking towards the door.“It is I,” Jayden responded and took two steps away from the door. Moving behind Bethel.“Damn bro. Can’t she just sleep over? How many times are you going to check up on her?” Alexis blast questions while opening the door. As soon as the door was pushed opened, her eyes almost popped out when she saw Bethel too.“Don’t conclude. However, why are you the only one here? What about Lovina? Where is she?” Bethel asked and Alexis exchanged a glance with Jayden. She looked rather confused and wondered why Bethel was suddenly asking after Loverina.Even her expression didn’t seem okay.“Lovina is
Jayden soon reached the parking lot, still carrying Loverina in his arms. She was so hot and though, beautiful. He wanted to just admire the sleeping beauty in his arms but, if he spends more time, she will surely be dead.A lot of cars lined up and even though, he has key to none. He looked around and still no sign of Alexis. ‘Is she still there with them?’ He wondered while turning to the door to see if she was coming.After two minutes, a figure ran towards him, “Here.” She stretched out her hand to him.Jayden let out a sigh and rolled his eyes. “Alexis, I’m still carrying her. Open the goddamn door already. I need to get her to the hospital.” Alexis hurried and did as told. He gently placed Loverina at the front seat, then locked her seat belt. Without hesitation, he got into the car from the diver side and turned on the engine.“Go to sleep and make sure to lock your door,” He warned before driving away.He had instructed her because everything made little sense to him. He does
It was morning, that she was sure of from the brightness of the room, through the opened windows. Loverina opened her eyes to see she wasn’t in Alexis' room anymore and the bed seemed a bit smaller. The scent of the room was different, it not the same scent or even arrangements. Getting a hold of herself, “Hospital?!” She tried to get up but felt a sharp pain in her head. A severe headache. “You are awake.” A woman's calm voice made her turn, seeing she isn't alone. The woman was a nurse. After scanning the room again, she got even more confused.“Please, are my really in hospital? What happened last night?” She asked.With the help of the nurse, Loverina stayed in a sitting position, facing the entrance to the ward.“Yes, you are in a private ward for VIPs. Last night, Mr. Jayden brought you in. I cannot tell what took place before you were brought here. Maybe he is the one to answer all of your questions.” The nurse answered with a smile.Not satisfied with the answer, Loverina inq
“Can I open the window?” Loverina asked. She wanted to feel the night breeze against her skin. “Please, wait a second. Let me turn off the air conditional and open the window.” The driver spoke while already acting towards what he had just said.His eyes were still on the road. He stretched his hand to locate the ‘a/c’ button, and Loverina watched in amazement from the back. She was impressed to see the level of experience he has in driving that he didn’t even need to look for it. He could tell the exact switch while his eyes are still fixed on the road.He opened the windows and then, did a quick turn to Loverina, “Is this okay? Is there anything else you want?”Loverina smiled back and nodded her head.Not long after that, she was looking out the window when she saw a familiar figure. Even the clothing seemed to be the same thing. Loverina was tempted to call out as deep down, she could swear it was Alexis.‘It cannot be her, right? It’s too late for Alexis to be out in the dark. A
After what took forever, Alexis let the cat out of the bag. “My parents have been calling for me to return home. Of recent, I got a call from my dad, and he sounded it like a warning. I already told them i would, once the event comes to an end. So, by Monday morning, I would be on my flight heading back. I was emailed the prebooked flight and time. And you know, i miss home as well.” Loverina who was first disappointed, accepted fate and nodded. Her eyes got teary as she began to get emotional. Alexis had been a true friend since they met. She closed her eyes, imagining the boredom and loneliness ahead. It scared her!“I will miss you dearly.” Loverina replied after she sensed Alexis wanted her to say something on it.“I will too. My sister from another mother.” Alexis tapped her on the hand and chuckled, trying to suppress the urge to cry.“Okay. So we have just two days left. Today is Saturday.” Alexis nodded.“I will miss you.” Alexis repeated and hugged Loverina.Grandma Clara he
Loverina waited at the living room. it was past ten and Jayden wasn’t back yet. She approached her grandma’s room after feeling too bored.“I overheard your voice.” Loverina remarked as she stepped in.“The servants here are too nice.” Grandma Clara praised as she beckoned on Loverina to come closer. “What is wrong my baby girl, you don’t look too good. Did something happen?” she inquired.Loverina had a lot to say. She wished it was possible to tell about all of it. But, she didn’t want to. She felt at some point, she would be able to fit in properly with her new life and forget the former life.“Boys problem? Is it about you and Eric?” Loverina lowered her gaze. She didn’t want to say anything that would lead to more lies.“It should be about Jayden, right? You are falling for your colleague. Jayden seem like a nice guy but then, think about Eric. He visited me every single day at the hospital. He would keep me company for hours and sometimes brought food. Also, you two have been to
A wave of anger filled him inside out. The urge to throw things around and yell had to be suppress as he shut his eyes and took in a deep breath. Knowing the woman in front of him and what she was capable of, scared him even more.“I cant do this anymore.” He mumbled, clutching both hands into a fist.Margaret furrowed her brows. She got a bit confused as he wasn’t specific. But she hoped he wasn’t talking about reporting her to the police. He knew too much about her.“I don’t get you!” “About us.” He demonstrated with his hand, “I cant do this anymore. Go met another dude, I’m tired. You cant completely take over my life and still hurt me like im just a toy thing.”Margaret scoffed as she couldn’t believe what was happening. She closed the gap between them, looking up at him, “I still don’t understand what…” Thomas interrupted, “I saw and have heard about your new partner. I saw you kiss him some days back at the parking lot close to…” he broke down, sniffing and trying to control h
Oscar's jaw tightened, and he clutched his hands into fists. It wasn't visible to Margaret, though. She maintained a sinister smile, and it irritated him even more. He was aware of his mistakes, but Margaret was his worst. And also causing Jayden to hate him. “Are you going to give me the money or not?” She asked, suddenly looking serious.It fluctuated from an angel's face to that of a female devil. Oscar let out a sigh. “Margaret, I didn't say you won't get it. The thing is, just last week, you wanted three million dollars.”“Yes, I know that. I've exhausted that already. Don't make me wait.” Her tone changed, and she stressed her last sentence.It sounded more like she was getting pissed off, which Oscar didn't want.“Fine. How much do you need?” The question slipped out, causing him to regret almost immediately. His question resonated like an open cheque.Margaret grinned and leaned closer to him. She whispered, “Ten million.” “Huh!?” He exclaimed. Maybe he heard wrong. Not lik
As Jayden entered Oscar’s office at the company, he met an old man glaring at him furiously. Jayden got closer to the desk and Oscar right then, threw first a newspaper he held in his left hand, then the second one came after.“What is this I'm seeing?” Oscar shouted on top of his normal voice, causing him to cough a bit, clearing his throat. He must have forgotten he wasn’t young anymore.Feeling for the old man, his secretary, in a cheerful manner, tried to calm him down. “Sir, er hm, you know, you need to take things easy. Shouting isn't good for…” Albert was yet to finish his sentence when Oscar interrupted, about losing his temper.Oscar’s face was as red as tomatoes juice.“Get lost now! He is my son and I can shout at him in whichever tone I want!” “I… I… I’m sorry.” He stuttered his words, hurrying to the door, as well as turning to beg at almost every step taken. Irritating Oscars the more.“Get the fuvk out of my office!” Oscar finally snapped.It felt like he was diverting
“I am Vivian the housekeeper.” The middle-aged woman who looked like she was the senior staff said with a bright smile, “And we are here to serve.” Now, she mentioned, pointing at others.Their clothing was of two colors, black and white. Well ironed. They did put in so much to put up an impression.It was a house, not hotel, they didn't need to suffocate themselves in sure a way. But then, it was their job anyway. Loverina knew if it were her, she would do more than them. First impression matters, right? Loverina wasn't too comfortable. Guess Jayden had become used to having so many servants around.The staff offered to help tour around the house. Though, those for the kitchen and outside left already. And grandma Clara kept arguing that she was strong enough to roll the wheelchair herself. She didn't want to miss anything. But Loverina insisted on pushing it herself. Meanwhile, grandma Clara couldn't bring herself to believe that the house she was exploring belongs to them.It was
Eric saw how she snubbed him and tears rolled down his eyes as he gave himself to the men who were dragging him. Not once did she turn to him. She made him look like a crazy person. It was at that moment he noticed the mockery stares and phones being pointed in his direction. He lowered his face as he felt ashamed. The beating he got from trying to get Loverina was nothing compared to the ache in his heart. He didn’t even know what was taking over him, the feeling of being rejected publicly or that of rage. Before his very eyes, she allowed Jayden to put his hand on her waist, just near her ass cheeks. It was a message from Jayden, and he understood the meaning.They threw him out of the hospital. Passersby gave him a weird look. Someone being kicked out of a hotel would be considered a psychopath. And the only scene he wouldn’t get over was seeing how Loverina smiled and walked away like she didn’t know him.“So because I am not rich? So this is what it is about?” He asked himself in
Eric from afar spotted four men, dressed in black suits, standing close to the entrance of Grandma Clara' ward.Two were standing about three steps away from the entrance. Then the other two stood just in front of the door.Still determined to get his answers from Loverina anyhow, he approached, making an attempt to pass through when one of the bodyguards stopped him by stretching out his hand in midair.“I'm sorry, but no one is allowed to pass except for hospital staffs,” the man replied in a scary tone.Immediately, Eric decided to play along. What the man said gave him an idea. He smiled back at the man, sounding more confident.“But I am a doctor here,” He spoke causally.The bodyguard scanned him from head to toe. The shoe even looked wore out. Under his armpits, his polo was dammed with sweat. He looked like a homeless young man.Being professional, the man suppressed the urge to burst into laughter. He knew exactly what the young man was trying to do.Eric thought he caught the
