“Well, Dawn was a talkative. She talked a lot right from childhood, even when she didn't know how to talk, she'd sputter gibberish and whenever I don't reply to her or react, she'd cry. I had to keep her on the bed all the time other wise she'd run aoo around the house.” Chase stopped to chuckle, remembering how he'd wake up in the middle of the night and not find Dawn in bed.And he'd have to rummage the whole house before he'd find her. Later on, he had to start locking the room door and keeping tge keys away from her reach so that she would never be able to leave the room unless he let her.“This girl would wake up in the middle of the night and go downstairs. Till date I don't know exactly what she does. And it's not like she sleep walks. She would be very conscious.” They had a good laugh about it and they both kept quiet. A question that had been bugging Hailey stayed on her lips.It's now or never.“You know,” Hailey lowered her head and braced herself for his reaction to her s

Dawn walked up the stairs, wondering where Hailey was. She suddenly decided to 'go to bed' when she knew very well that she was supposed to tuck her in, read her a bedtime story and kiss her goodnight. It was basically their routine.She headed to her father's room, a pout on her pretty face. She was going to talk to her father and wish him Goodnight then tell Hailey to tuck her in.Loud laughter emanated from the slightly ajar door of his room. She peeped in and her face broke into a smile at the sight in front of her. She pushed the door open slightly and looked on with a grin on her face.Her father and Natalie were laughing with Hailey's head thrown back and her hand constantly tapping Chase's shoulder while Chase was looking at her with a smile. She started laughing all over pointing in Chase's face. Anyone would've gotten annoyed at her laughter seeming as it was directed to him. But he had a wide smile on his face.Dawn sneakily entered the room and looked around. She saw her fa

Not quite interested in Natalie's obvious attempt to stir up a petty exchange, Hailey casually walked into the kitchen, ready to prepare something for her consumption, her stomach was in fact growling for food.As she busied herself preparing a simple meal of baked spaghetti, She heard easy steps from the living room headed into the kitchen ." Surely she wouldn't come down to antagonize me again." Hailey thought, mentally drained from the recent events that had unfortunately befalled her.She had no mental power in her to go for another round of spiteful exchange with dearly Natalie,Hell, she didn't even want to go through the trauma of seeing her bitch self around Chase anymore.Well not just Chase, even around the mansion. She couldn't fathom just what was making him still hold on to her despite his being not so appreciative of her general personality and lifestyle. She thought, very much infuriated.Oh how she wished she could understand where Chase's headspace was at the moment.

The next day, Chase gets up very early from his not so great night rest. Through out the course of the night, he kept on twisting and turning on his bed.His mind very much occupied on his child's Nanny. These days he'd always try to remember when things were not this way.When he was still a man who was stalked by greedy women poising as nannies. When he had not yet fallen into the blissful abyss of deep love for Hailey.At some point in time, during the night, he tried to recollect just when his feelings changed for her. Was it when she defied the odds, and made him apologize for raising his voice at her?When he realized just how much stability and sync she'd brought into his little family- Natalie out of his picture.Or was it that very day when he was locked in the closet with her, the very first time he had a taste of the perfect deliciousness that was her lips. When he kissed her so gently and short but enough to leave her permanently imprinted in his mind.He could have gone o

Through the course of the day, Hailey executed her nanny duties diligently. She continuously thought about Chase and her impending date.She knew that she had to seek his consent or approval in order to acquire time off duty. He was still her boss after all.With his recent cold attitude towards to her, she figured he probably wouldn't mind her little date, as much as the thought of him not caring struck a chord in her heart, she internally prepped and prepared herself to inform him about it .She couldn't go back now. She decided that during the course of dinner later in the day, she was going to table the matter.Soon, Chase's car revved into the house compound, informing all and sundry of his return from work.Meanwhile, inside the mansion, the trio of Dawn, Hailey and Leo are seated comfortably in the living room.Hailey feeling tense and calculating the perfect time to do what she wanted to do.Leo, in knowledge of the boss's arrival goes outside the home and courteously opened

Ciara entered the house, throwing a smile at the security guard by a door who seemed to have a problem with her presence in the house. Maybe it was because she had a fight with him the first time she came over. Apparently, Hailey didn't let the man know that a certain girl called Ciara was coming.And when Ciara came, she had picked a fight with him. She even insulted him.Ciara lowered her head when his frown got deeper and hurried her steps. He started walking towards her and she started speed walking.So help me God let me enter the house before this man can reach me.But her prayer wasn't answered because the man soon stepped in front of her just when she was on the front porch.“Who are you here to see?” Ciara rolled her eyes. The man was just looking for a way to pick a fight with her. He couldn't stop her from the gate because he wasn't the one she found there. But it seemed he was hell bent on talking to her.“We both know you know who I'm here to see.” The man was about to spe

“Shall we?” Kol said stretching his hand, his eyes on her. Hailey put her hand in his and he dropped a feathery kiss on it while keeping his eyes on her. Chase who had his eyes on them clenched his fists even tighter, his teeth gritting and his nostrils flaring themselves.Fucking imbecile.Chase hissed under his breath. His whole being was telling him to leave before he snapped. But he wanted to see every bit of it. He knew that if he continued to watch them and Kol tried something like kissing Hailey, he would probably kill him.Kol then took Hailey's hand and snaked his arms around her waist. That just made Chase even more mad than he was.Fucking horny pervert. How dare he touch her in that manner?Chase couldn't watch it anymore, so he walked away to his room and slammed the door, the sound resonating all around the corridor.He knew Hailey wasn't his, but he loved her so it was hard watching her be all so touchy and mushy with another man. He could bet his life that she didn't e

“Waiter! ” A female waiter came, she had a sultry smile one her face that disgusted Hailey.“We're done, bring the bill. ” She took the plates and came back with a paper and a phone-like machine in her hand.“Cash or card payment Sir?” The waiter said giving him the bill.“Card.” He said even before glancing at it. It took them about five minutes to finish the payment process and then Kol took Hailey's hand and they left for the car.Like the other times, Kol opened the door for Hailey and closed it when she was inside. He hurried to the other side and entered then drove away.“Did you like dinner?” Hailey nodded with a smile.The journey back home continued in comfortable silence until they reached a t-junction and Kol took a right turn instead of a left.“Uhm, Kol? The house is that way. ” Kol turned to Hailey with a charming smile.“I know. ” Hailey furrowed her brows.“Are we going somewhere?” Kol nodded and Hailey kept quiet afterwards. She didn't know where they were going and d

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
