Hailey was up as early as six am, she'd been so worried from the call from Dawn the previous day that she couldn't sleep properly. She hated the fact that Natalie caused such pain that broke Dawn to the point of her crying to her.Dawn was a smart child who rarely cried and most times acted matured than most of her peers. Chase was also not spared from her wroth, Hailey placed every blame on him for Natalie's actions.Hailey woke up and immediately prepared herself for a trip to the Denvers mansion.

They'd nursed her back to health from the pain she received through the amount of love and care languished upon her during her stay.Ciara totally enjoyed her stay in the house, she got to have an insight into just how smart and unique she was from every other six year old on the planet.During the days of which Dawn stayed with Hailey, Albeit they were very fun days, she missed her father and yearned for his presence.

She was able to convince Dawn to return back

Later in the evening Chase's car entered the Denver's mansion, he briskly walked into his house with a smile on his face looking forward to meeting his girls and spending time with Dawn before the night drew near and she retired for the day.Leo welcomed him into the house, taking his briefcase and coat from him to place in the required place." Where are the girls?" Chase asked Leo before he got far, his eyes searching the living room and their usual hang out spot but came up short." They are upstairs, in Dawn's room, Mr Denver " Leo answered formally, leaving only after affirming that there was no more questions for him.Chase felt confused, there was an air in the house that made him feel like something wasn't right and the unusual absence of Hailey and Dawn in the living room just proved it further.Heading upstairs, he hoped and prayed that there was no problem and he was maybe just probably wrong with his assumptions and feelings about the unusual eerie coldness that was promin

Natalie has had more than enough with Hailey's presence in the house. Her continued stance as a bane to her existence and potential future with Chase was becoming quite alarming. She had to do something and do it fast.Natalie was wound up in her room, pacing about in thought at just how she was going to ruin Hailey, once and for all. All her attempts so far had failed woefully, Hailey had successfully skipped through all the traps meted out for her and it was honestly draining.As Natalie paced about, her mind told her that she was certainly on to something with Hailey. Her instincts never lied to her and it's continuous picking on Hailey told her that there had to be something about the wench.Natalie wasn't stupid, she knew and believed that there was something still going on between Hailey and Chase, which would only keep growing until she was able to cut it out.That is to cut Hailey out.She believed that once Hailey was gone, even if she was yet to marry Chase, she'd feel very

Natalie placed the pictures on the vanity table and looked at them closely. She could see how close Hailey looked with the boss at the newspaper house. What could that mean? The boss wouldn't just call Hailey into her office for no reason, spend hours with her at the office's cafeteria discussing God knew what and even accompany her to the Uber she had ordered.It was impossible to say that they were just chummy with each other. There had to be a connection between Hailey and the newspaper house. Else why did the pictures show that she was on talking terms with a lot of the senior reporters there?Something was definitely amiss somewhere. And Natalie would be damned if she didn't find out what was amiss.Natalie arranged the pictures in a vertical line and continued to look at the pictures for almost thirty minutes. She was looking at them as though the answer to her questions would fly out of the pictures, when she saw that the pictures wouldn't give her anything, she picked them and

Hailey sat at the table slowly so she didn't fall. She didn't understand why Natalie kept looking at her like that - like she could see her insides. It was weird and it made her queasy. It made her extremely self-conscious that she was suddenly becoming a clumsy lass.She had been looking at her that way since she heard the sound of her slippers slapping the cold tiles as she came down the stairs. It wasn't normal and Hailey felt so uncomfortable in her skin because of that stare, or rather, those stares.It had been going on for a week and Hailey couldn't help but wonder, when would it be over? When? She was starting to feel asphyxiated with all that was going on with Natalie.The woman kept looking at her like a hawk, paying extra attention to her phone calls and conversations. Heck she would even sneak up on her and listen to her whenever she was talking, to anyone at all. It was getting creepier by the day.She spurned all thoughts related to Natalie and took one of the sandwiches

Little Dawn was in her room, pacing around in worry. She didn't know what it was that Natalie was up to but she was smart enough to know that it wasn't good. She couldn't forget the look that she had when she learned that Hailey and her dad were out on a drive.It was indeed Natalie's darkest look yet. And with the amount of chills it could send down a person's system, it was sure as hell nerve wrecking and knowing the personality of Natalie, Dawn felt like she had reason to worry.Dawn waited anxiously for the arrival of her father's car, looking out the window at every sound and second. For the first time ever, she really wanted her father and Hailey back as soon as possible. She felt like the more time they spent out and without due warning signal to Hailey, the riskier it was for Hailey's sake.Natalie was up to something and her little instincts told her it wasn't good. It couldn't be good. She'd been so angered and looked out for blood.It wouldn't be the first time she's done s

Seated comfortably In the Denver's mansion was Mrs Whitmore and her minions alongside a chatty Natalie with an unhappy looking Chase.Hailey brought out some drinks, serving them all with her head bowed, after which she attempted to leave the living room, only to be stopped by Natalie." Hey, hey, where were you off to?" She asked with a very firm tone," stay around, the guests may need something." Natalie said, intentionally using the guests so as not to incure the wrath of Chase, who wasn't the littlest bit happy with the interview." Thank you so much miss, I think this is more than enough, you've been gracious." Mrs Whitmore said courteously, trying to lighten the environment and relieve Hailey of her duties." There's no problem with that. Shall we? " Natalie asked, succesfully blowing off the topic.Mrs Whitmore sat up, took out her pen recorder and a book and pen, while the two guys set up the video and photography equipment in order to aid the whole interview process." Okay t

The three days watch was finally over and Chase was over the moon. He had gotten up at the crack of dawn and had woken everyone in his house up. Today, finally after so many months of being apart due to one situation or the other Hailey was going to be moving into his house for good. Natalie, her grandfather were out of his life now and he was free to be with whoever he wanted.“Daddy?” Dawn’s voice pulled him back to the present and he smiled as he caught her form in the doorway.“In here Dawn.” He opened his arms smiling when she ran towards him. “You look happy, what’s the secret?” Chase asked lifting her up in his arms as if she weighed nothing. “Does this have anything to do with Hailey coming back home?”“Yes, I’m soooooo excited.” She started telling him her many plans for Hailey’s arrival. Chase nodded his head as he listened attentively, his mind creating images of the kind of family he, Hailey and Dawn will make. She continued listing out her plans and Chase let his mind d

" Is she going to be okay?" Chase asked the team of doctors and nurses who came for the morning round and observed a sleeping Hailey." She is a fighter, Mr Denver. No doubt she'll be fine. So far there's been a lot of progress." One of the doctors explained with a smile, hoping to ease of the tension on Chase's shoulders.Chase sighed in relief, " oh thank you doc. Hopefully she wakes up early." He added, patting her hair for better measure." She will be up in no time. Just give her some time to flesh it out." The doctor affirmed and headed out of the ward, not before they'd both shook hands on it.It had been three days of total blackout. Hailey was yet to awaken and Chase sat by her side, looking rough, barely going home and waiting for her to wake up.For the first time in a while, Chase reevaluated his thoughts and prayed Vehemently that she woke up in good health alongside the child within her. He watched like a hawk for any little changes and continually felt the stomach of

“She’s in critical condition.” George said speaking to the nurse who came outside to help them.The nurse nodded and placed her hands on Hailey’s wrists checking for a pulse. She smiled when she noticed there was indeed a pulse. “She has a pulse but its barely there and she has lost a lot of blood. She will have to be admitted immediately.” The nurse said and ran off to get the stretcher and some backup.George looked at Chase and sighed placing his hand on his shoulder. “Your wife is going to be fine Mr Denvers, they are good at their job.” He said and quickly answered someone over the radio. “I have to heard to the station now, there are some things I need to take care of. I will need Hailey’s statement and all the evidence she has against those men so we can ensure that they pay for all their crimes.”“You’d have to wait for her to get better then,” Chase said and sighed stroking Hailey’s hair. “I don’t know where she left the files she had been working on. Infact, she refused to g

“We’ve found her.”Chase was on his feet before anyone else, his heart beating wildly in his chest. ‘Finally, some good news.’ He thought but said instead. “Where is she? Is she okay? How’s the baby?”The cop would have laughed if it had been a different situation but this was a very sensitive case. “We have found her location but we wanted to let you know first.” He said and watched as several emotions crossed Chase’s face, the most obvious ones being relief then concern.“Where is she? Can I see her?” Dawn asked walking towards the cop. “Where is Hailey?”“Come here little one.” Leo said and pulled Dawn away earning him a grateful smile from Chase who was looking frazzled. “Let’s go and get some juice for everyone.”“But I want to see Hailey.”“Come on, daddy will bring her back.” Leo said pulling her away.Chase sighed and turned to the cop. “I’m coming with you to bring her back. I can’t stay here while you go.”“Me too, I am coming along.” Ciara said. “She’s my friend and I can h

An unconscious Hailey was bound by the arm and taken out of the car by some buff men. At the arrival of the car in the shady outskirts of town, Franklin's men were all in standby, waiting for the arrival since word was sent of the successful mission." What happened?" One of the men asked the alleged driver as soon as Hailey was carried into the building." Bitch tried to kill us both, and had to knock her out cold." The man said, taking off his glasses and showing a scar which ran through his lower lids." Get rid of the car and every other trace, there must be no traces." George ordered and immediately walked into the building. Leaving the man to his devices.The car was driven to a blind spot and set ablaze. Hailey was thrown into a leaking and dirty cell room, leaving her to await the arrival of Mr Franklin and Mr Amore.Hailey was brought to consciousness the moment water poured upon her from the leakage. It was raining outside.She looked around her surroundings and fear gripped

While Chase was continuously ringing Hailey, her phone was on the couch of the sitting room. She had unconsciously dropped it while waiting for some sort of reply from Chase but to no avail.Everytime a new message came into her phone, Hailey rushed to see if it was the reply, abandoning every other thing with high emotions. After the fifth occurrence, she decided to put her phone on do not disturb mode in order to be able to get some work done.As she became submerged in her work, Hailey totally forgot that she had previously placed her phone in total silence. In that haze she worked tirelessly until she couldn't any longer and dozed off spending the night on the couch.The next morning, Ciara stumbled out of her room and met Hailey seated in an awkward way on the couch, the laptop was halfway down the floor, opened with the screen on and battery almost empty.After putting the laptop in place, she headed over to a sleeping Hailey and with two successive pats, she woke her up."

Ciara was in Hailey's room, playing on her phone and simultaneously observing the little changes she noticed in Hailey's body.Her hips seemed much wider, and eyes much more dilated alongside her constant urge to puke. She had earlier researched on the known causes of such symptoms and the only diagnosis that seemed to tick all boxes was the pregnancy idea.Ciara played with the idea of Hailey being pregnant but she couldn't reconcile the two. At first she'd vehemently kicked out the idea of her being pregnant out to the curbs of her mind but then she remembered Kol.For as much as she knew, there wasn't any relationship between them and she believed if something of such nature had taken place, the Hailey she knew would definitely speak to her about it.At the same time, in contrast to that point, Hailey had shared a kiss with Kol not so long ago and deliberately kept it to herself.Although she was made to understand that she thoroughly regretted it and deemed it a mistake that would

Three weeks later, Hailey and Ciara were finally leaving the hotel. Due to their prolonged stay while searching for an apartment, there was pretty much an hole in the middle of their pockets.Despite how fast they were able to secure an alternative apartment with decent security, it had cost them three weeks worth of money to lodge. A price for the protection of their lives.While they were in the hotel, Hailey reached out to Mrs Whitmore, informing her of the recent events and asking for some time off to figure herself out.Surprisingly, Mrs Whitmore was lenient and it was pointblank unbelievable when she accepted and later sent in a contract which included a working from home agenda and how to conveniently report to due authority for as long as the process dragged on.Originally, when she demanded some time away, she'd been scared of how Mrs Whitmore was going to react but with the reply she got, she was beginning to think her boss wasn't so bad after all.Or maybe she'd finally sca

"Hey Cee, I'm home." Hailey said walking towards the house. She couldn't wait to lie in her bed again. Work had been hectic!"I'm craving some of your delicious snacks." She said and paused at the door noticing that the handle was broken.With her heart beating wildly in her chest, Hailey opened the door and frantically searched for her friend."What is all this? Cee?" She rushed towards her friend when she spotted her sitting beside the living room couch. It was turned upside down just like the rest of the house.What could have happened?With concerned eyes, she scanned her friend's body sighing in relief when she noticed no bruises or scars. "Cee, what happened?""This house is no longer safe Hailey. I met everything like this when I came home from work."Hailey pulled her friend close and hugged her silently listening to her sobs.Hailey didn't need the police to tell her who had done this, Franklyn must have put his men up to this. He was so desperate to scare her that he'd do an
