Loverina was trying to pick up a pin for her hair. She saw the tag of the gown lying on the floor and then, she picked it up. So tempted to check the price on it. And when she saw it, her eyes almost popped out of it's sockets. Could it be true? But in her life, she never thought. It was too expensive.“500$?” She gave a faint scream. Christopher and his staff gave her a weird look. He took the tag and looked again at Loverina. “Mi lady, what causes the scream?” Christopher asked with a raised brow. Loverina turned at him as if she had just seen a ghost. The money would change her life. Like, a five hundred dollars spent for just a gown? A gown like every other clothes? How rich was Jayden? She frowned, and lowered her head.Jayden has enough money to buy anything he wants. Has no problem. Money wasn't his problem, not at all. Infact, he was cool with it. And had no issue at all. But buying an expensive cloth for Loverina was totally a different hit.Loverina felt the money was too m
Soon, Loverina arrived but wasn't allowed to go in since she had no invitation card. It was embarrassing.Andrew took out his phone and called Jayden. Then he continued to speak to the bouncers while Loverina lowered her head. Some individuals were already making fun of her. Saying she was a fraud.“Maybe she's working with one of the rich men's personal assistant.” A whispered heard.“She's a fraud, can't you see that?” A voice yelled from behind. Andrew frowned. Only if the bouncers would let him go in to meet his boss. He then looked at Loverina and saw how calm she was. “Please, move aside for others.” One of the bouncers urged as he pushed Loverina aside. Because of the unexpected push, she lost her balance and was just about to fall when someone held her.She always hated him, but at the moment, she was grateful he came to her rescue. He looked really handsome in the suit she suggested to him. Her eyes couldn't stop staring at his beautiful face. And he was the first to look aw
Jayden heard what had happened and came out. He ran to the spot he was told but she wasn't there. Not up to thirty minutes he left, someone already bullied her. She was a slave, his slave and no one expect him has the right on her. The party was yet to begin and things was already turning awkward. The scream from Loverina caused a panick and every one was still talking about it. “Who bullied her?” Jayden asked Andrew who stood beside him shivering in fear. Without being told, Andrew knew any slight mistake or offense would lead to worst things.“I heard it was one of the daughters of Mrs. Nicolas.” He answered honestly.“Did Loverina cause the fight?” Jayden asked another question. He needed to be sure before carrying out any action.“No sir. Loverina did not. Even after the wine was poured on her.” Andrew answered.“She has to be around. Someone must at least tell who took her away.” Jayden looked somewhat worried and angry. He remembered her words about hating parties, “Look around
Grandma Clara finally opened her eyes, scanning the room. It was quiet and when she tried to open her eyes wide, the light rays stopped her, it was blinding.“Beep beep” The machine behind her kept making the annoying sound. She tried to stand up, but, the wires on her and the aches from lying down for long wouldn't let her move. She took in a deep breath and waited for some minutes to get herself.“Anyone there? Loverina!” She called out and was shocked. She could even talk. At least, she expected Loverina to be around hoping she gets better. Though, she has a lot of questions to ask. But, she needed to meet her baby girl first and hug her close. She must have stressed a hell out of her.“Aaa…” The nurse gasped as she saw Grandma. Immediately, she shut the door back and ran to call on the doctor in charge.Grandma Clara was still trying to get up when the doctor stepped in and also looked amazed. He didn't expect her to be that healthy.“Mrs. Clara, how are you doing?” The doctor req
Jayden took her to another private room. And gently laid her on the bed. He had no emotions on his face and Loverina knew even if he wasn't showing, his desire was coming in. His eyes were exposing him. She was also feeling hot and sweaty.“You look pale!” He said and touched her forehead, “We can't go home now. You will have to stay here until the party is over.”“Okay!” Loverina nodded.“Should I get you someone to keep you company?” He asked calmly, but not looking at her directly.“No. I will be fine!” Loverina muttered.“Okay.”He gently got up from the bed and walked away. And when he got to the door, he turned back, “do not leave this room!” He warned and Loverina nodded again.Even if it were her chance of escaping, her body wouldn't let her. All her body ached and somehow, she knew it wasn't possible. Jayden won't leave her without a tight security. It was as if her every movement was watched.“He's being a gentleman.” She said to herself and when conscious of her words, she
Eric, however, followed the doctor to his office.“Please, do have a seat!” He offered Eric, “Your name is Eric, right?” He asked.“Yes sir!” Eric answered after sitting on the seat opposite the doctor.“So, how may I help you?” The doctor, folded his arms and focused on Eric who looked shaky, “Be free!”“Sir, no offense but, I would like to know where the money for Grandma Clara's treatment is coming from. Because, last I checked, you refused to treat her and asked us to pay a certain amount before anything. Surprised, you have been treating her, and Loverina is nowhere to be found. Or, is she the one? Do you know where she is?” Eric burst questions at the man.“Whoa! Calm down. I honestly do not know where your friend is… I'm only treating her because I was ordered to.” The doctor answered honestly.“Order from who exactly?” Eric asked as he moved closer.“The hospital manager.”“Did Loverina come in when I was away?”“Ha ha! How are my suppose to know? I am not the security.” The do
They reached the hotel and were patiently waiting for the doctor's arrival. And when he finally arrived, he asked for privacy to check on Loverina.Doctor Bruce was one of the family doctors. He was the best and the most famous at New York. Doing his work, he checked her thoroughly and after examining her, he gave her a drug to drink.“You're having cramps, right?” And Loverina nodded, “The drug I gave you will ease the pains you feel and help you sleep.” He added.Loverina nodded again like a shy three years old child. The doctor was a handsome young man and very friendly.After some minutes, he allowed Jayden in and smiled. The look on doctor's face calmed him.“What's that on your face? Is she…” He wanted to ask if she was pregnant but then, he remembered she was on her period, “Never mind. What's wrong with her?”“Actually, it's nothing to worry about. She needs enough rest and care. She's on her stuff, and it's the cramps that's making her cry. Here are the drugs!” He handed a pi
Eric, after his chores, decided to pay Grandma Clara a visit and also get food for her since Loverina was missing. At least, he thought it was the least to do, since Loverina was still nowhere to be found. He feared what the old woman might do if the news got to her.“Take this to her, she must be hungry!” Ruth handled a flask to her son and kissed his forehead.She knew how disrest her son looked. He must have been crying and overthinking. Loverina was his everything. That was what he boasted of, and he always made sure she was happy. Eric looked dull and his cheeks had fallen. He hardly smiled. Even she was worried. Loverina was helpful too whenever Mia, her daughter, was away. Ruth stood by the door and watched Eric until he was far enough.Eric left home early and when he reached, he saw Grandma Clara eating already. Even him, couldn't believe his eyes. He almost dropped the lunch bag.“Who brought the food?” Eric didn't wait for a reply as he hurried out to check if Loverina was
