Hailey was repulsed at the mere sight of the man seated next to her—so much that she wanted to puke as the memories of his…flashes of his lips on hers came rushing back to her and she shuddered in utter disgust…she took a deep breath and decided to focus on something else instead.“Please, Hailey, say something—this silence is killing me,” The screechy sound of Kol’s voice distracted her from the scenery of the road she was trying too hard to focus on.She finally turned to look at him with an indifferent gaze in her eyes as she tried to search her head for the right and logical thing to say.“It’s fine, Kol—things like this happen; let’s just move on from this and pretend it never happened…okay?” She heard herself say and she could have patted herself at the back for her composure.“Thank you,” he eventually responded after what felt like hours of silence,“You’re welcome,” Hailey’s face curved into a weak plastic smile and just when she was about to turn her head back to road an Ide

The house feels so big and empty, even Dawn cried not quite long ago," Hailey said with a sigh, " that should go a long way in telling you just how miserable I've been for sometime now,' she counters, spewing nothing but genuine facts about her days these times."

A thousand of emotions courses through the body and mind of Hailey upon seeing him. She couldn't believe her eyes. He was walking down to an empty table, seated comfortably and innocent like he was one with no bad bone in his body.She shook her head, the memory of the evils he'd done to her and her career without regret, all came rushing back. She begins to see him in a different light. Not as an ordinary lovable man, but as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour in this dog eat dog journalistic world.Hailey stood for a while and it became even more clearer how desperate, bitter and spineless he'd looked.She was indeed as stupid as her boss had branded her that very day when everything went down the hills.At this point she'd even accept a much lower word than stupid to explain just how foolish she'd been to trust him.Ciara , whose been alone for a minute, comes out to check on Hailey, surely they weren't too packed up nor experiencing a human commotion as they witness during the n

Hailey mumbled inaudible sounds, as she climbed the little stairs that led to the door. It was more than a push she gave the door, making it jerk open breaking the silence with a deafening door."How dare he?!" She raged out loud, dropping her bag on the couch she slumped on.Ciara expected this outburst, she was thankful she held in her anger until they had reached the neighborhood. It won't be nice everybody hearing her grumblings on the streets.She sighed. "I never expected him to hit you that way. He is truly a jerk.""A jerk! A big one at that!" Gritting her teeth, using her bare feet to kick her black high heel far away from her; they tumbled and paused under the table.Ciara has always known Hailey to be strong willed, but this one of the first times she has seen her boiling in anger for something that happened hours ago."I'm sure he won't dare repeat what he did–""The embarrassment! Did you see the disgust the Boss stared at me with? Like I was the one at fault?" Her voice

He straightened the hem of the his jacket again, crossing his right leg over the other. His palm was coated in sweat and dirt, as he kept bringing out his white handkerchief to clean it off.At least, he was rest assured that Dawn was safe with Hailey that was taking care of her. His mind was settled in that direction, he didn't want anything distracting him from this date his was very skeptical about.He cracked his fingers, and drummed it on the door handle, nodding his head to no definite rhythm. Despite the harshness of the cold weather and AC that blowed hard in the car, Chase raised his palm, and wiped the beads of sweats with the back of his palm.It wasn't just one investors he tried concealing a contract with, they were three of them, and all of them had a dedicated knot with his date's father–one business man you don't want to mess with. He knew his world wasn't crumbling because of the flippant feelings Natalie had for him.He took in deep breaths, grabbed the bottle water

Hailey had her manicured fingers pressed over her lips at Dawn and Ciara.“Don’t make a sound…I’ll be right back,” she whispered almost inaudibly as she began to tiptoe towards the direction of the kitchen. The kitchen was chilly and the only sound that came from it was the whirling noise of the refrigerator fan; her fingers quietly found a heavy fry pan which she handled carefully as she tried her best not to tip whoever it was in the sitting room off.She was familiar with the furniture arrangement of the mansion so she knew where to put her feet on even in the dark. Hailey maneuvered her way towards the tray of light flickers and the moment she flicked a light on, she found a black figure and targeted the heavy frying pan at his head and the cracking noise of his skull gave her a weird type of satisfaction until she realized that there was more than one burglar in the house.“FUCK!” She heard the unaffected burglar yell out and just when he was about to raise his gun at Hailey, a s

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.

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
