Hailey had spent a few more minutes to collect herself properly, before deciding to return to the mansion. Ciara had hailed a taxi, but just when she was about to enter, Hailey stopped her."Go home, Cee. You have done more than enough for me today," She said, touching her shoulder lightly."You can't just go alone. I would be there for moral support," Ciara reasoned."My boss will be more pissed if I brought you along. I think I should handle this on my own." Hailey said with some sort of resolve."But--are you sure?" Ciara pressed doubtfully "I could wait outside the building. I don't want you breaking down before your boss," her voice held concern, and Hailey's heart melted.Pulling her friend closer, she hugged her tightly. Ciara returned the hug patting her back reassuringly."I'm going to be fine. Now, you just go home, take a shower, eat and rest those legs," Hailey said with a small smile.Ciara nodded, fixing a little smile as Hailey detached from her then slid into the wait

"You're a whore!""A cheap slut!""Get the fuck out of my house before I call the security on you!""You're fired!"The angry outbursts of Chase rang in her head, repeating each word like a broken record. Maybe she was wrong in taking Dawn out after all. Maybe, she could have taken her to the ice cream stand instead. Maybe she could not have taken this job. She should have left on that first day."You are a cheap slut!" Something in her snapped at those words. Her only crime was taking a child he had spoiled out to have fun, and this was what she got in return?"I said get the fuck out of my --""Enough!" Hailey cut him short, her teary eyes now blazed in anger. She couldn't take any more insults from him, or anyone. He was just her boss, and even if her pay was a whooping sum of multiple zeros, she would not be reduced to nothing.On a normal day, she would not be subjected to this kind of job, boss or environment. She was a journalist for crying out loud, not some hobo, or a call gi

Chase stared at his little girl in a mix of shock, confusion and unbelief. He could not believe what she had just revealed. How had she even thought of such a thing? Why would she even think of such a crazy ploy?"I am really sorry, Daddy. Please forgive me" Her little voice had dragged him from his confused thoughts. He stared down at her. What was Dawn becoming?"Why did you?" He asked her just the same question Leo had asked earlier. Leo who at this point, stood at tone corner of the room, his hands folded before him."I'm sorry." Dawn said instead."No, I want you to tell me why you would lie against someone, and have them punished" Her father had insisted."I was scared" The little girl began slowly. Chase's brows curved in curiosity. He was literally confused at her reply. Leo shifted a little on his feet, what was little Dawn playing at? He queried inwardly."Scared of what?" Chase pressed."I do not want to lose you, Daddy. I do not want you to leave." She said softly, twisting

"You will have to apologize to Hailey for lying, Dawn" Chase said, fixing his knotted tie. He stood before the mirror in his large master bedroom that was doused in gold and wine colours, with magnificent artistic collections strewn in beautiful orientation across the room.The large bed made in pale gold with little feels of red wine colour splashed around. The bed was made just the moment he walked into the bathroom. The efficient staff had cleaned up before he came out.Dressed in a beautiful two piece dark suit that oozed elegant expense, he decided on leaving for work quite early today. He planned to eat breakfast with an old business associate of his father, and then meet a Spanish investor later. Then finish the unfinished business he had with Craig.Struggling not to soil his mood with that reminder, he stared at his daughter who perched at the foot of the bed, her green eyes uneasy. It was now a thing she came For him every morning, just before they went down for breakfast. O

Chase dropped his phone with a sigh. This lady was really stubborn! Leo had just called and informed him of her response. She expected an apology from him.That was expected.She was stubborn, and would not let him off the hook easily. She had her pride, he had bruised it. Now, he had to swallow his, and then go and make a proper apology to her. He sighed, rubbing his temples. He needed her for his daughter, if not, he would not have bothered.Now the wedding was fast approaching, he needed her to keep Dawn away from all the rowdy and busy preparations. He would see her after work, right now, he needed to see that Spanish investor.Few hours later, Chase drove to Hailey's house. From what he gathered, she had stormed off to her friend's house the night before. By the time he arrived at her friend's place, it was early evening.The weather was usually breezy, and a little cold. Seems it will rain today, Chase thought about parking before the little apartment. He took time to calculate a

It was two days after Hailey met Natalie. The house was still busy, but not as it was the past few days. The relationship between Hailey and Dawn had not really improved, and Chase was barely present.However, Hailey was enjoying her stay in the mansion. She had been sorting for news, anything to write about this household. She had researched about the Denvers, Chase precisely. She had gone through his previous news reports, anything to write about, turns out he had changed tremendously since Natalie.He was known for his notorious playboy habits, changing women like he did his briefs. He had appeared severally in several magazines and newspapers. Not only for his exciting business achievements, but because of his fondness for the other gender.She had studied the dates, and he had stopped appearing in newspapers. Either in the business news or gossip columns. He simply took the back seat, and then a few months later, he was announcing his engagement with Natalie. The woman was beautif

Hailey dragged herself from her room down to the dining table. It's been a week since her little bonding experience with Dawn, and she was grateful for that opportunity.Dawn had been nothing but a sweetheart. She figured there was actually a sweet angel waiting to make herself known. She just needed the opportunity.Now, they were close, her job was intact and she was living her best life in the mansion, although she could not work the energy to finish her write-up on the article on fried food and its health risks.The unfinished work lay in her laptop, and as Dawn promised, she never told her father, or even Leo about Hailey being a former journalist. She believed her day was fine until she strode into the dinning room to see Natalie seated beside Chase.Dawn sat on the other side, her expression forlorn as she stared at the arranged China before her. Over the last week, Chase had eaten breakfast once or twice with them. She is always at the table. He demanded she did, and Dawn insi

"Breath Hailey!" Dawn advised.Hailey paced about the little girl's room while Dawn just sat on the bed watching her fret. Her little mind did not understand the reason why the lady was so worked up"How can I be calm? They will recognise me. And once they do, I am doomed! I can't lose this job" she panicked.Oh God! Why was she always in situations like this? What has she done to deserve all these crazy occurrences?"No one will notice you. Just remain here," Dawn said dryly, biting her little nails."Gosh, no. Your dad specifically demanded us to come out. If I am not found, they would start questioning," Hailey said."Well then, hide," Dawn advised. "I will tell my Daddy I asked you to help me look for a particular dress. He would buy it." She said with a small shrug.Hailey stopped pacing. Twirling to the little girl, she smiled at her bright idea"That is a bright idea! But, where am I going to hide?" She asked. Dawn thought for some time, then her eyes twinkled."Aha!" She exclai

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
