Billionaire Passions & Scandals Eighty-five
Chase was swamped with work. With his family business going through it at the moment, he had little or no time to himself.His routine was to wake up early, have a terrific day at work, and come back late when he'd worked enough for the day. Sometimes his meetings dabbled longer than normal due to the demanding state of the Denver's corporations.He was literally trying everything possible to keep the company afloat - At least till he was able to secure the loan from Mr Franklin.After a long day at work, Chase returns to the Williams manor to recuperate for the next day and is very much reminded of Dawn's anger towards him.Dawn is seated on a couch, fixing a puzzle that he'd recently got for her, and to his devastation, Dawn ignores his presence." Baby, I'm back." Chase announces to a quiet Dawn, who doesn't even spare him a glance, still very much unhappy with her father.Chase walks close to her, in an attempt to take her into his arms but Dawn is a step ahead of him. She gets up

The night was dark and and gloomy, there were barely any stars in the sky. It looked like it was about to rain.The mansion was quiet, so quiet that if someone dropped a pin on the first floor, someone on the ground floor would hear it. Everyone had gone to bed, save for Franklin who was on the phone with God knew who.“He's coming here first thing tomorrow morning Sir.” A man said from the other end and Franklin twirled the packet in his hand before dropping it in the briefcase and closing the briefcase.“Has he been told what's going on?” Franklin's gruff voice resonated in the quiet study.“No sir.” Franklin nodded to himself, thinking.“I'll take care of him. Make sure everything is cleared before the end of tomorrow. I don't wants any slip ups.”“Yes sir.” Franklin ended the call with a resonating beep and dropped the phone. He looked at the briefcase then the watch clasped around his aging wrist.11.56pmHe took the briefcase before changing his mind and keeping it in the safe.

Franklin and Chase finished their breakfast and stood up to leave the cafeteria which was at the other end of the factory. Apparently, the food offered there was free to all workers of the factory. So it was free even for Chase.“Let me give you a tour of the factory.” Franklin offered and Chase smiled.“Okay Sir.”“You see, the next building is also a part of the factory. There are two factories actually. One for furniture, and the other for the other materials like lamps, mugs, wallpapers.” Chase nodded, absorbing everything like a student learning something new.They walked towards a building that was at the other side of the factory, directly opposite the cafeteria.“This is where we keep all our raw materials. We have a room for each things. The fell trees are kept in the first room, the glass in the next room. We get our glass from Sierra Raw Materials. They have the most durable materials. Our trees though are fell from a part of the forest we bought off the government. We plan

It's seven am in the morning, the sky is dimly lit and the rising of the sun still in it's early stages. Chase is inside his room, fully dressed and ready to check out of the William's mansion.Taking his briefcase, he took another brief glance at his person in a full length mirror situated inside his room and off he went, down and off to work in his car.During the ride Chase plans his day, making a mental note to head for the security department upon touching his business site.He remembered that he was scheduled to visit earlier on for an emergency but had pressing matters to attend to. Chase hoped with all his might that whatever the case may be, it should remain in a state where redemption was possible.He couldn't afford his already crumbling business taking any other hit, whatsoever it may be.Chase who was on the road, still quite far from his business place, stepped on the gas and took off at a much faster rate, wanting to be there as quickly as possible.Soon, Chase arrived

Safe to say that the date between Hailey and Kol wasn't quite as promising and addictive as it used to be.After the duo finished their food, which to be honest, Hailey didn't quite enjoy, they both proceeded back to the car, both ready to end the day.Kol, in an attempt to recover the situation spoke as soon they were in the confines of his car," Well.. that was alright," he began, " are you up to grab some ice cream on the way back?" He asks," Y'know, just like we used to." He offers trying to gauge the reaction of Hailey, and so hoping that she'd give him a chance to make their day better than it turned out.Hailey honestly couldn't stand being in the same car with Kol anymore. Following recent events happening in her life, she definitely tried her possible best to stay out of sketchy situations or things that just wasn't clear enough to her spirit.Kol had succesfully joined into the list of things she wasn't quite sure about what to believe and so her mind forcefully kicked aga

Hailey leaves the presence of Mr Franklin not really knowing what she was to do about it. Of course she knew that it was a threat, a valid one at that, seeing the kind of people who worked side by side with him.Those men had being the ones behind her kidnap, there was no surprise there, she'd seen them before with Natalie so she knew that it was a plan from there.Even though Mr Franklin didn't expressly warn her not to say a thing about what she saw, she was a too smart to go about thinking she could do it without repercussion.The business or conversations that happened surely was a sore spot for Mr Franklin. His personally summoning her into his home office told her at least that much.Mr Franklin wasn't the kind of man to chase unmeaningful projects, conversations and meetings. So far she'd understood that he was a very thorough man in all his dealings. She knew that much from her stay at the Manor, monitoring him.As much as she was curious about the whole happening and shady ac

Finally, the Denver's mansion had been completely remodelled. The news of the completion of the house project brought smiles to the face of Dawn, Hailey and Chase.Hailey especially, having gone through a lot of things she described as evil in the hands of both Natalie and her family.She wasn't in anyway comfortable staying in the home of people who had continuously threatened and put her life in danger. And so, when the news of the finishing of the building came , it was music to her ears.That evening, Hailey was put through a lot of unnecessary jobs and mean comments from Natalie, who knew that they were all to leave her family home the next day.Contrary to her espectation, Hailey did all with a smile in her face. Nothing could soil her great mood at the news, not even a thousand menial job from the evil princess.This pained Natalie to no end. She didn't like the fact that Hailey was going back to live with Chase, especially when she wasn't living there fully.She didn't want th

It's finally the day which Hailey had been preparing for, albeit low-key but all the same preparing for the event since the past week when she was invited.She didn't know what prompted her to actually want to go back there, put herself in the setting she'd so cautiously and diligently builded for herself over the years.But here she was, outside of Chase's room, prepping herself to request for sometime to attend an old friend's birthday celebration.She knew that he wasn't going to have issues with it, and would probably give in his consent at first trial or listen, but she never seemed to be able to shake off feelings of unease when she approaches Chase.Most especially when it regards to matters concerning her previous -or in this sense background - job.Hailey didn't want the whole shit show blowing up in her face especially with the recent relationship she'd unconsciously nurtured with Chase.But she had to do what she had to do.Taking a deep breath, Hailey propelled forward and

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
