Billionaire Passions & Scandals Ninety-two
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

After conversing with Mrs whitmore for a while,Hailey leaves the company of her previous boss, leaving a round of excruciating questioning in her wake about her progress in her given job with the Denver's.She never could have imagined that she'd have to go through that while others were basically just having a great time out and enjoying themselves.That's what failing in one job would do to one in a job as sensitive as journalism. You'd see that the moment you fail or fail to deliver on any projects, you get stripped and assigned a supervisor.Apparently, the ones worthy of enjoying their night out we're the ones who didn't have their jobs hanging by a thread and carrying out secret assignments in order to gain redemption.Which unfortunately, she wasn't part of , she'd have a lot to do but she wasn't as convincing anymore following her fall and shameful plummet from her supposed new rank. Only to have it all snatched away. Terrible day.She couldn't remember why she'd even decide

Hailey was very much wasted after a while. Anyone who'd looked at her, if they were paying attention, would have seen a woman who was pretty much gone and ready to do anything at that delirious state.As a young man saw her, he'd advices her to get going before she'd became too drunk to go home or even do anything.Hailey kept looking at him, she couldn't help smiling oddly and skittishly as he assisted her to call down a cab, before finally assisting her into it . Soon the driver asks her for the address and she sloppily put in Chase's address.Hailey is pretty much drunk but her drive and lack of alcohol intake in the last few minutes had awoken her mind. This time around all she could think about was Chase.His house, his face, his smile, his frown and pretty much every other interaction they've had since her assault on him the very day she encountered him sneaking into his own house in the dead of the night.Hailey couldn't help but giggle drunkenly at the memory. He was totally n

It's another day, the next day, famously titled the morning after. Hailey is sprawled in her bed, sleeping. During the early mornings of the day, at about seven pm, Hailey stirs in bed, her body coming awake with her.As she begins to regain her senses and consciousness, the first thing she realized was the painful and unbearable throbbing in her head.It was do terrible that she couldn't open her eyes for fear of how much worse it was going to get. She'd never been this hung over in ages, hell, she was rarely one to go about drinking to a stupor.As she went on to open her eyes, her head felt like she had been hit with a hammer repeatedly to her skull, leaving behind only pain and agony.Hailey opened her eyes and the blinding light rays from the sun reflected directly into her eyes, making the experience even much worse.As she tried to adjust to the blinding lights coming on into her room as a result of the blinds been left open the night before, she attempts to get up and out of b

Hailey didn't feel like the luckiest employee anymore, her heart sank down to the bottom of the stomach upon hearing the words uttered to her. She walked in behind Chase back to his room nervously.How had she navigated herself into such a mess? Her regrets knew no bounds,it was as though her night's drunkenness seemed to be after her life!She couldn't say she didn't have a hunch of what was about to happen but at the same time she could. Chase's expression left nothing to imagination. One couldn't possibly tell what it is that was going through his mind from his outlook.Oh how she wanted to get a glimpse before getting into the four walls of the room!Through their little trip, all Hailey was thinking about was over one thousand ways to get out of the situation at hand, each and every idea more stupid than the last.In silence the duo headed up to the room, both on edge, Chase articulates how he was going to scold Hailey.

Hailey is pissed. She stormed out of Chase room fuming within her, how could she have been so stupid to think that he was going to say something to her?Of course she wouldn't. Apparently he worshipped the land she walked on.There she was again, about to make a total fool of herself admitting that she'd actually felt something for him.Hailey remembered her boss's words at the party, telling her not to let anything hinder or stand in her way this time around. Now she felt like it was said rightfully so,This had to be a sign from the one above, she shouldn't let a man ruin the good thing she's got going. They were all alike.All scum!Hailey fumed both in anger and jealousy. Of course she didn't miss the sly smirk that was given to her before she'd delivered herself out of their presence.Because Natalie was way too comfortable on Chase. As Hailey's mind brought fourth imaginative scenes of the duo together, she felt like banging her head in the walls.She totally didn't want to thin

Hailey woke up from the wrong side of the bed the next morning, her head is pounding and her joints are weak. Getting up from her bed is like a chore that she wanted to do away with but to no avail.She got up from the bed and headed tiredly to the masters bathroom situated in her room. For the first time ever, she didn't appreciate the size of her room. She wished to get to the convenience with just two steps but that was basically impossible.Dragging her foot, Hailey finally got to the bathroom, freshens up even more slower than usual and heads up and out of her room to begin her duties.As she headed downstairs, she felt like the house got even more unusually bigger and longer. Her bones were limp and the pounding headache was not helping her cause that morning.She wondered if it was just her body telling her that she needed rest or the aftermath of a shitty day. Could the aftermath of having a terrible previous day be Having an even shittier one the next day?If that was true, w

Hailey trudged into her room, feeling exasperation. She wondered if she'd been too harsh on him. Still angry at him, she pushed the thought aside, her head was way too crowded to think about how he felt.Chase on the other hand felt very sad, his mood couldn't be anymore darker than it was. He couldn't believe that Hailey hated him to that level.Their interaction had only proven one bitter truth and pill to swallow. Hailey hated his guts. He didn't understand just how she went from " wanting him " to totally being intolerant of his existence.She'd been so upset that her eyes were flaming and her face scrunched up in disgust at him, his question and everything he stood for. Hailey had thoroughly dealt him a card that was too much for him.Manipulative? Two faced?Chase wondered just how much badly he'd been perceived to be given such derogatory terms of description. It was so obvious she meant every word she said.That was the hardest about the whole interaction. The fact that she sa

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
