Billionaire Passions & Scandals One hundred and one
Hailey knocked rapidly on the door of the apartment. She stopped knocking and paced on the front porch while wringing her fingers nervously. In her state of mini panic, she had forgotten to take her key to the apartment. And now here she was knocking on the door like her life depended on it. Well, it did figuratively.“Whoever is by the door should calm down! I'm coming!” Ciara's annoyed voice came and Hailey continued to pace on the front porch while wringing her fingers, her eyes were glued to the white tiles on the floor of the front porch. The door opened and an annoyed Ciara was revealed.Ciara's annoyed face though changed to a worried one when she saw that it was Hailey. She gave her a once over, taking in her partially disheveled state. She was sweating and her breath seemed to be haggard.“Hailey? Come in.” Hailey stepped into the house and instead of sitting, she continued to pace around, still wringing her fingers.“Hey, are you okay?” Ciara said, facing Hailey after closin

Hailey widened her eyes and her heart went into a little frenzy. It was palpitating and felt like it would jump out of her chest anytime. She immediately lowered herself such that her back was laid supine on the seat and her behind was hovering over the floor of the cab. Honestly, at this point, she didn't mind laying on the floor completely if the situation called for it.But then, she couldn't help what wonder what Chase was doing by that side of the town. Okay, that was a weird thought because obviously he could go anywhere he wanted in the world but why did it have to be around where she was passing through?If he saw her there, dressed like that, how would she explain to him that she was not doing anything that went against the work ethics of her being his daughter's nanny when that exactly was what she was trying to do?She raised her head a bit and peeped. He couldn't see her, that she knew but she'd rather be safe than sorry. Sure he might be across the street on the returning

The meeting started with Mrs Whitmore reminding everyone to take notes in quotes so they could know how to put the news when editing.“Now, this is a strict warning. Whatever is mentioned here must not get out. On no occasion, under no circumstances should you mention this to anyone at all. Not your spouses, your family, best friends, or whosoever you might trust. What is said here stays here. There are consequences for disobeying this. If one word gets out, all of you are going to be fired.” Mrs Whitmore's voice was strict and hard as she said that. And her fingers kept pointing and gesturing to the people in the room. And she only pointed whenever she was dead serious.Hailey though knew she wouldn't keep to that particular rule. She never kept to it anyways. She had been telling Ciara stuff for years and nothing ever got out so why would she stress herself with keeping that bit of information in? Everything that she took out of here would definitely be downloaded in Ciara's brain.

Hailey headed home with a thousand theories concerning Chase running through her mind. Her day had been truly fruitful and her progress on the job at hand had been immense.Truly she missed days like this. One where she got to sit side by side with her colleagues and just discuss prevailing matters and progress on stories. You never truly know everything in the business and that was why days like this were a perfect time to scout for information.Hailey was back home and met the absence of Ciara. She contemplated some of the information she gathered and was soon tired of thinking about the job. Getting herself some light dinner, she ate alone in the living room, bored out of her senses.It was in times like these she missed Denver's household. Assuming she was in the house, she'd probably be with her darling Dawn, doing one fun thing or the other before she puts her to bed.Hailey goes into her room, bored, exhausted and also thinking of Dawn. She decides to go to the Chase's mansion

Hailey boarded a cab back home, dusk was imminent, and the road back to Ciara's was filled with a lot of vehicles.Some were rushing home like her or headed for a night out of bliss while others out to make some cash in the happening places in town.Hailey's mind was serene, her drive smooth but quite lengthy. Chase had offered to drive her home but her nervous self couldn't take a minute more in his presence with the documents.The documents was once again in the fore front of her mind, this time it was a fleeting moment of awareness of just what she held in her hands. Hailey soon got to the front of Ciara's place, she paid her fare and headed inside the house feeling exhaustion catching up to her as she opened the door.The house was once again empty of Ciara's presence and she heads straight into the shower and goes to bed, deciding in her heart to work on her article at dawn tomorrow.The next day, Hailey wakes up with a alluring aroma of baked potato, informing her of Ciara's pre

The next morning, Hailey woke up feeling quite energized. She'd slept very soundly throughout the night and felt great. Deep inside of her she knew it had something to do with her night out with Chase.Although she didn't quite get the full package of its awesomeness for reasons best known to her, she wasn't too bummed about it. Hailey sat on her bed with a smile as she reminisced the events from the call up to the almost kiss.Two things stood out to her all through her thought process. Chase didn't have feelings for Hailey and they'd almost shared a kiss. The former was pretty much as important as the latter.Holding that thought, Hailey got up and freshened herself, thinking about a gazillion of theories which she'd planned to update her article on. She was of the mind to work even more in the development of a fool proof article.In that might, every other article of information added was profound, sort out and original. Ready to go, Hailey dressed up in comfortable clothes and beg

In reaction to the interruption, the duo immediately flew away from the other, eyes still blazing with passion and face riddled in embarrassment.The room suddenly became strained with silence. Chase felt uncomfortable, he was way too naked under the gaze of his daughter and with quick steps he headed for a bathing robe by his bed and quickly covered up, making him a tad bit comfortable.His bulge was sort of still prominent. That was his biggest embarrassment, Hailey was flabbergasted. She remained painfully aware of the fact that she'd almost jumped his bones if not for the timely intervention of Dawn.It was a bitter sweet feeling for her Because as much as they'd been interrupted, causing them not to do something they'd probably regret minutes later, she'd wanted to actually see how it went.For the first time she shut off her head and succumbed to the yearnings of her flesh, the one time she'd done it was the time they were interrupted and left hanging.As she watched Chase almos

“Dawn baby, are you ready?” Chase knocked on Dawn's room. He was dressed in a black tuxedo and white crisp shirt underneath. His hair was parted in the side and then gelled and he had on Italian leather shoes.Inside the room, Dawn was seated on the bed with a deep frown accentuating the pout on her face. Hailey was hovering over her with an exasperated look on her face, hands akimbo and back hunched.“I'm not coming daddy.” Dawn replied lowly. Hailey sighed exasperatedly and plopped on the bed beside Dawn.“You do realize he can't hear you, right?” Dawn raised her voice an octave and repeated what she had said.Almost immediately, the door opened and Chase came in. They shared eye contact with Hailey for some seconds before he averted his gaze to his daughter. Hailey didn't take her eyes off him until he looked at her again.Oh my, I didn't realize I was staring!“Why would you say that?”“I don't want to go. You both should go and leave me here with Hailey.”“Hailey, what is this abo

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
