Billionaire Passions & Scandals Seventy-four
Hailey and Ciara sighed as they looked at the apartment from outside. Five hours work finally paid off. The house wasn't really changed from the outside but it looked better than before. The painting wasn't starting to chip off and the flowers in the vases weren't dying.The inside was even way better than the outside. The sofa's looked good as new and the wardrobes had been fixed. Literally everything looked okay.“We really did a good job.” Hailey said with a smile.“We did. We just need the plumber to unclog the sink and drain in my bath tub for us.” Hailey nodded, agreeing.“How did you even manage to clog the sink and your bath tub? The wa you do these things always shock me to no end.” Hailey said with a shake of her head.“The sink, I don't know. The bathtub, I think it's my numerous hair clips that I keep forgetting to remove until I'm in the bath tub. And then they end up falling in.” Hailey shook her head, wondering what sort of best friend she had gotten herself.“Now let's

Ciara happily went upstairs after bading Hailey goodbye. She walks into her room feeling quite satisfied with their work. The whole apartment had a new vibe to it and it was very pleasing to the eyes.She couldn't wait to experience the whole change of scenery to her full satisfaction. Hailey was such a darling perfectionist. From the floors to the windows and paintings to structure, all looked amazing.It was like I had an interior designer decorate the house. It was both pristine and clean.She walked towards her newly painted window for the first time , a smile decorated her face and she takes a look outside through the new lens that is her window. She sees a waiting Hailey , with her head pressed down her phone, waiting for a cab.She watches on with a smile as a cab pulled up before her, her keen eyes noticed just how the cab had slowed down on purpose, even before Hailey was able to motion it down. It came straight for her like it'd been waiting for her for a long time coming.C

Hailey is traumatized. The whole encounter with the kidnappers played repeatedly in her head, even after being thankfully recovered from their hands, still visibly shook in fear while in the safe arm of Ciara.Ciara held on to a crying Hailey, her heart really going out to her. She'd experienced what no one on planet earth should have to go through.Seeing the broken state of her friend made her want to find and deal thoroughly with whoever was behind the scenes of the ordeal.She couldn't believe just how quickly the day went from being one of the best day ever to a day where Hailey had barely escaped from the clutches of kidnappers.Her anger was on an all time high but she knew she had to be there for her friend first, then later find out who had arranged for such a despicable act.Surely a lot of dramatics had been ongoing since her getting a job and staying with the Denvers, but this , in particular took the damned crown.Ciara felt like they needed to get to the bottom of the ex

He was very much overtaken by worry and fear of the unknown, it's past two am and there's not been a word from Hailey.So far, himself, Leo and Dawn has been scattered in the living room, they all kept watch till they couldn't anymore and dozed off in their uncomfortable places.Of course Natalie wasn't part of the watch crew, she'd slept off in the comforts of her room angered that she'd once again been disappointed and Hailey was still out there somewhere.Dawn had been very much worried, she slept off in the living room, waiting on Hailey alongside her father. Chase saw the position his daughter was sleeping and softly carries her up and into her room, covering her warmly with her duvet, ensuring she was comfortable.He goes back downstairs , still worried, his mind came up with various explanations, two of which made his insides churn.He couldn't imagine anything hurting Hailey and he couldn't bear the thought of her hanging out with Kol.

Hailey couldn't believe her ears. She could not wrap her mind over the fact that she'd just lost her job. Just like that. No questions asked.Surely there had to be some mix up somewhere. How the hell did they go from sharing a much needed hug, to her being stripped of her duties?Was she being punished for getting kidnapped?Was this a joke? If it was, then it was very expensive, her mental health was at stake!" Calm down," Ciara spoke, attempting to reach out to her. " This isn't the end, after all you could still go back to your job," she encourages," I'm sure you have more than enough to return to your job, right?" She quizzes, trying to get Hailey out of her disposition.Hailey didn't bother answering, she honestly had no idea of what she was all about these days.She sat down quietly in the living room, the spot where she'd been left behind by Chase and an unwilling Dawn. Could the week get anymore worse?Hailey had seen Chase's expression while he laid her off. Like he was do

Chase is seated in his room, after the earlier conversation he felt light. He was even smiling to himself, his satisfaction at the way it ended was very eminent.They were all not ready to lose Hailey, and apparently neither was he. He knew he didn't want to lose Hailey, and had been bothered about just what he had done to himself in a fit of emotions, but he was glad she didn't bow.One of the most attractive traits of Hailey, she didn't let anyone trample on her.Downstairs, Leo is done making breakfast. He'd been asked to bring it up by Chase to his room. Apparently the boss didn't feel like communicating with them for the time being.Still contemplating what to do, Dawn walks into the kitchen, plates in hand and sees Leo standing stiffly by what she thought was supposed to be her father's dinner." What is the matter? Daddy's not eating?" She asked confusedly to Leo,Leo hook his head no and explained ," The boss wants his breakfast in his room. I'll be sending it up soon."When

Natalie stomps angrily in the confines of her room. She is even more angered as she waited for Chase's arrival - newsflash, he didn't.This only threw her into deeper realms of anger. Apparently, no one cared for her in this household, they'd all succesfully singled her out all because of some maid!A maid was the reason why Chase didn't care about her, the fact that Chase , who was her husband to be , favoured the company of a measley Hailey irked her to no end.How was she supposed to end such tragedy? When everyone seemed to be unproductive in their jobs. Every one had failed her regarding this one person and it frustrated her.She'd put a large amount of money on the line just to get her out of the way but it seemed like she always skipped past every trap or ambush laid out for her.Why did she have to compete with a mere house worker? Natalie at this point could liken Hailey to dirt under her feet!That's just how low she rated poor Hailey. She was determined to ruin Hailey, even

Natalie entered the house with a smug smile on her face. One could see from miles that she was happy, for some reason. She wasn't radiating the same kind of happiness she normally did, but she was happy nonetheless. Her steps didn't have the obvious lilt they did and her smile wasn't grin-like. Instead she walked with confident and sure steps, her smile was more of a smirk and she exuded a diminishing aura, a huge contrast to her normal self.She entered the sitting room and when she saw Hailey and Dawn sitting, looking at a book or whatever it was they were doing, she smirked, remembering the piece of information that she had gotten. Finally, she had gotten dirt on Hailey. It wasn't quite dirt, but it still was something. The exact words on that paper had been imprinted in her memory and nothing could wipe them out of her head. Absolutely nothing.“Hey, Dawn.” Natalie said kissing Dawn's hair. Dawn scrunched her face up at that action and the moment Natalie's glossed lips left her ha

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
