Chapter 7

Jamie contemplated if he should answer the call or not, he looked at Lucien then ignored the car and laid down.

Another call came in, Jamie looked over and picked the call from his manager immediately.

But it wasn't his manager that addressed him but Luke

“Deliberately ignoring my phone call?" Luke angrily roared, Jamie looked at Lucien awkwardly and climbed down to answer the call somewhere else but Lucien held his waist, Jamie looked over and cleared his throat awkwardly but sat back, he could guess that Lucien was possessive and jealous.

“What you can't ever defend yourself, cat got your tongue?" Luke provoked

“Am ending the call, what do you want?" Jamie replied, already angry.

Luke was surprised at that tone, he was always the one raging and controlling while Jamie was always submissive but that previous blow and kick still angered him and he planned to settle that scores later

“Didn't we sign a document that says your company shares will be transferred to me before engagement?" Luke asked shamelessly

“Are we engaged or married, why should my share be under your name?" Jamie asked, confused at Luke's foolishness.

“It started before marriage or engagement," Luke corrected, rubbing his temple.

" Mr Luke by now you should know that I'm not naive, if you called me to claim my shares in my own mother art exhibition company then you are dumb or do you think I'll give it to you in the name of love you pretended that we shared, I'm not foolish there is clear difference between work and love and besides if you think May or her father still has shares there then you're wrong, it's just a friendly secret, you're welcome goodbye,” Jamie ended the call, he notice that every word he said to Luke and mention “love”, Lucien hands always tightened around his waist and it was funny. A message popped up

“I've fired your manager better get your own manager unless you won't get work and beside what can a pregnant omega do in a modeling industry with your ruined reputation, it'll be better off if you hand your place to May, she is more suitable for it"

Jamie sighed, Lucien read it too but kept quiet and played dump

“What is it?" Lucien asked, pulling Jamie closer.

" I need a manager,” Jamie didn't hide it, he turned to look at Lucien" I heard you are an underground king and mafia lord, pulling strings won't be an issue right?” Jamie asked hopefully.

" You don't mind those, what if I'm crippled?” Lucien asked smirking staring at his little lamb

" Something tells me you aren't, did the hospital say it'll be permanent and by the way what really happened?" Jamie asked interested, Lucien flicked his forehead, Jamie hissed and frowned

“What do you think?" Lucien asked, Jamie thought for a moment and frowned “no idea"

“That ….," Lucien's words trailed off as a knock interrupted them. Once again his expression and demeanor changed, just a look, Jamie knew what's next. Laying back obediently he stretch his hand to see who was at the door

Surprisingly, the person was so handsome, cold and emotionless too but he wasn't masked like his husband, as if noticing the gaze the figure looked up, his gaze colder and unfriendly as he stared back before Lucien closed the door.

A call came in, Mr Roger

Jamie frowned but picked up

“How long will it take you to pick up?" Roger asked clearly unfriendly, Jamie didn't reply but listened to the bullshit coming from Roger

“Give your role or place to May, you're pregnant but she isn't, she is more fitted and suitable for the role when you've put to bed she will leave it for you to continue your career,” Roger shamelessly blurted

Jamie giggled provoking Roger more

" If you don't do as I say, am ending your mom life with a call,” Roger used his normal strategy waiting patiently for Jamie to cower in fear as a result of being blackmailed instead Jamie laughed more making Roger repeat his words

“Mr Rogers, why don't you give the doctor in charge of my mom a call, ask him if Fiona is still under his care, well in order to save you stress, I've already transfer her out of that prison of a hospital to somewhere she can be well taken so this doesn't work on me anymore," Jamie rebuked and smiled satisfied at his lost of words

“You can only lie and brag, do you think you've papers, files or rights to do so, listen you are pregnant and won't fit some modelling clothes with a baby bump and even if you force yourself into it, your reputation is bad and will damage the value of the goods you're promoting, so it's better you reconsider my words,” Roger tried guilt tripping Jamie.

Jamie touched his still flat stomach and smiled

" Try another method that won't work, so you think if I give it away easily, once I want my place a certain May beta will agree to give it back?Goodbye” Jamie replied and ended the call.

Roger called multiple times but Jamie ignored it but it got so irritating that he picked up and shouted

“What do you want?"

“Jamie it's me, Felix murmured, his voice low, surprise at the outburst

“Ooh am sorry," Jamie apologized, Felix nodded in understanding, he was already used to Jamie's character.

“Can I come over?" He asked smiling sheepishly

Jamie first thought it was Lucien, but since Lucien wasn't against his opinion, he agreed and decided to text his address to Felix after telling Lucien and extracting the address from his tight lips. They chatted a little before ending the conversation

His head hurt and he massaged his temple, his stomach grumbled and he smiled awkwardly

He decided to head to the kitchen but Lucien warning about not coming out of the room, replayed in his mind and he reluctantly sat back cursing

Tired of ghosting around, he decided to bath while waiting for the meeting to be over so he could rush into the kitchen

Jamie enjoyed the warm water in the bathtub, his whole fatigue washing away, he was so tired and sleepy and little by little he dozed off. His whole body sinking into the filled wide bathtub
