"Sasha, he hates me so much right now" I mumbled, staring up at her with my teary and messed up face."You look so messed up, darling. Common, let me help you out of here and let's talk. I'm sure that he's just angry, he doesn't hate you and he'll never hate you" she assured me as she helped me up from the hospital floor. "Yo... You need to.. to see the way he yelled at me, even his gaze scared me so much" I cried as we walked out of the hospital together."Shhh, it's fine. Just sit down quietly and let's talk about it over a few shots of drink" she told me as she helped me into her car, she shut the door after she also entered the car."Drive us to our usual spot" she told the driver."Yes, ma!" He said and drove out of the hospital, she pulled me into her arms and patted my back trying to comfort me while I just cried in her arms."We are here, ma'am" the driver announced and I looked out of the window to see that we were standing right in front of LA POPLA, the right place I want
"You can never succeed even if you try cause he's...." I trailed off as I remembered that someone already succeeded in stealing my man from me.She clicked her tongue on her teeth loudly as she stared at me with a cheeky smile urging me to continue my story."By the time I woke up from my daydreaming, the time was far past so, I got down from the bed gently and tried to help myself with getting to the dining room. I was about to climb down the stairs when Lisa stepped out of her room, so I decided to wait for her to pass before I did since my legs were still hurting, so I allowed her to use the stairs first. She fell off the stairs" I cried bitterly as I covered my eyes."I swear that I didn't push her! She staged everything that happened, that lady is crazy and she'll go to any extent to prove that she's the one in charge. I saw that there was oil on the floor, it was right in front of her and when I saw that she was about to step into it, I tried to drag her back but I was unable
"I wished and hoped that one day you'll treat me right, not like a partner but at least like a friend. I know that I messed things up then but I swear, I'm deeply sorry about them. I was just naive and childish then. I had finally accepted my fate that I'll be nothing but the mother of your child, a baby mama to you but now... Now, she ruined everything for me, she killed my baby and almost killed me" she cried while I pulled her into my arms and I consoled her.I didn't say anything because I didn't even know what to say or think at the moment. I just left her to remain in my arms and calm down properly. "Are you expecting someone?" She suddenly asked."I don't understand what you're saying" I said with a raised eyebrow, wondering where that question suddenly came from out of the blue."Ohh, I noticed that you wouldn't stop turning your head to stare at the door way since we started hugging and your body is so stiff" she said staring at me with those eyes that I once adored and lov
I turned on the bed feeling so tired, exhausted and out of place. Someone suddenly tapped me, probably trying to wake me up or something."Leave me alone, I'm so tired already" I complained throwing the person's hand off my body."Perhaps if you didn't drink so much and dance like that, you won't be as tired as this right now!" I heard Jaxon's cold and strict voice scolding me and I stiffened in a laugh feeling excited that at least, he still cares about me."What's funny? Do you think that I'm here to joke with you? Do you know what your little tantrum has caused me? Ayla! Open your eyes, I'm talking to you!" He snapped in frustration and annoyance while I opened my right eye staring at him while he glared at me, and I opened my left eye immediately."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause a tantrum, I just went to the club to drink my sorrows away" I mumbled with my head down."You know what, take this and watch what you did last night" he said, pushing his phone into my hands."Wow! You
My phone suddenly rang beside me waking up from my sleep, I rolled and grumbled gently as I picked my phone with my groggily and sleepy eyes without even bothering to check the caller's name."Madam! You have to act fast, your father wants to destroy your husband's company. He planted a spy in his..." The stranger rushed her words at once and I took a pause to stare at her name and I realized that it's an unknown number."Who is this?" I asked suddenly sitting up since she already piqued my interest at the beginning of her conversation."I'm one of the maids at your father's place and I got your number from your previous personal maid. She wanted to call you to tell you but she's scared that your father will find out because he tapped her phone, so he can hear every conversation she makes during her calls and anything she does on the phone. You have to act fast, your father is trying to sabotage your husband's company and leave him in debt, he has three insiders in the company and th
I entered my car and drove out. I turned on the radio and was listening to songs as I was driving. I drove into my husband's company and I stared at it with a big smile on my face."Good morning, ma"“Madam! You're welcome""Doesn't she know that boss is not in?""It's quite unusual to see her here""Geez! She's so beautiful and endowed""This is actually my first time seeing her here""Same here" were the words the workers were whispering to one another after I stepped into the office."Where's the MD?" I asked the secretary who wouldn't stop drooling over my hair and beauty. I suddenly snapped my fingers in front of her face and that seemed to do the trick of bringing her to her senses."I'm sorry ma, good afternoon ma. How may I be of help to you ma?" She suddenly asked, rushing her words."Where's the MD?" I asked again, staring at her."He's not around ma" she stammered."By this time of the day? What about the HR and the head of the accountant for this company?" I asked as I ch
I was pulled out of my thoughts with the ringing of my phone, I picked the phone immediately I saw that it was Richard. I just wanted to talk to him about everything going on right now, perhaps it'll make me feel better or something."Richard, I...." I tried to talk but he interrupted me."Boss, you really need to know about what the private investigator just told me. I honestly can't believe that it's true. Do you know that your wife and ex girlfriend, Lisa, are both spies sent by Ayla's father, Alex ? We should have known that that man was up to no good. I mean why will he want to be his enemy's in-law if it's not for a bad reason? Do you also know that Lisa faked her pregnancy and staged her miscarriage so that she'll be able to cause a rift between you and Ayla? I still don't understand why she'll try to hurt Ayla, I mean they're both partners right? And there's something you should know about Ayla , she was ra...." I suddenly heard a beep sound from my phone, I realized that it
"It still amuse me that you didn't fall in love with this man. I mean he's handsome, rich, smart and caring. He even loves you alot, I don't know but I don't feel good with everything anymore. Was just about to tell you to cut the deal off and forget about everything" I heard a guy's voice and I braced myself for her next reply."You mean that dummy, he's too nice, caring and romantic for my liking. You know I've never seen him get angry no matter what I do and it annoys the heck out of me! He's always so composed and reserved. He's not just my type" she replied nonchalantly with a shrug and a tear rolled out of my eye."Common, forget about that fool. Let's have some fun before I leave" she said as she stood up from the chair and walked to the bed with seductive and slutty steps, something she has never done with me.My phone fell from my hands when she kissed the guy, my body was shaking and I felt the temperature In the room becoming so hot and uncomfortable. I ruffled my hair an
One month later..."Careful baby, You don't want to hurt yourself." I said to the kids as they were playing under the ramp. I begin to reminisce back to everything that happened over the course of one month.I could still hear the words of the doctor to Ayla and myself. I had escaped the hands of death because the bullet missed my heart by an inch. Everything had changed since that moment, the company was back to fully functioning and I had dropped all shady deals that Alex had signed using the company's influence. The underworld had gone back to the way it used to be, with Levi being given a befitting tribute by every gang out there I suddenly felt arms wrapped around my torso and her cologne would always mesmerize me. She placed a kiss on my neck, as I squeezed her hands gently."You know something babe, I have been thinking we should move out of our comfort zone. This house would always bring the trauma of past events and we want to be happy right?" Ayla suggested and I agreed
Once the door to the elevator opened, we rushed outside the company to find Alex already surrounded by the police. "It's over Alex, just give it up. Your time has come to an end." I yelled out. "You had this all planned out didn't you?" He asked, his hands raised in the air. "You failed to prepare properly. I have been planning a raid on you for the past weeks, watching your every move constantly. I want you to know that when the time comes, the law will always catch up with you."One of the policemen with the cuffs stepped forward and held his hands. In a matter of seconds, I watched him pull out a gun from the police holster and I felt something hit me in the chest.My vision became blurry as I also watched Alex fall to his knees. I looked at my hand and realized he had shot me with the gun."Jaxon! You will be alright." Levi’s right hand man was beside me. I couldn't think of anything in the world other than staying in the arms of Ayla at that moment. As my eyes closed, I rea
I stepped into the company at the strike of midnight fully aware that it was going to be a tough confrontation with Jaxon . The moment I opened the door to my office, I found Jaxon sipping a cup of Hennessy with several documents on the table and a smile plastered across his face."You know I never thought you would have the balls to make a move, I will give it to you. I never expected you to go for Steve, our lawyer." I commented, standing by the door."Our lawyer? Oh so you now choose words to use now? Steve deserves death. He was the brain behind your action and I figured it was perfect I ended him." Jaxon said. I watch him hold a paper in his hand."Right here in my hand is the deed to the company. You asked for it, now I have brought it for you." I stared at him for a moment, wondering what he was up to."You must think I am a fool Jaxon . I know your tricks and I know you won't be willing to sacrifice your last hope to secure the company from me easily. So what do you have hidi
When I arrived at Steve's apartment, the weather had become warm once more and I helped Steve turn on the air conditioner, while heading to his room. Steve was an adept reader that hates being disturbed, but I needed his help, if I ever wanted to get the deeds.Upon stepping into his room, there was no sign of Steve . The tables were littered with books. Typical of him to always be unorganized.While I went down to get the pillows, I noticed something unfamiliar. I looked to see Steve slippers at the front of his bathroom. Steve never leaves these things in the bathroom before, so what was going on? I made my way slowly to the door of the bathroom, where I leaned closer to get a grasp of what was happening.The shower was running and it appeared that someone was having their bath. The moment I opened the door, I gasped in disbelief at the scene of horror displaying itself right before my eyes.I was staring at the lifeless body of Steve , who appeared to have been drowned in
"You must surely love him that much." I said after she had hung up."He is my husband and I can't let bad things happen to him." Her way of expressing her love reminded me of Alex and I hated that he had become so vile. Getting up from the couch, I made my way to the kitchen, hoping to make some juice for us, when I noticed something odd. A black van parked at the side of the gate and immediately I knew something was amiss.I rushed back into the living room, pulling the curtains apart and seeing several armed men making their way to the entrance of the door."Shit!" I exclaimed, drawing the curtain close."What's the matter?" Ayla asked."Police officers. I don't think they came without instructions from Alex . Here...." I handed over my car keys to her. "There is an exit by the far end of the apartment. Use the exit and get out of here once they pick me." "What? I cannot watch them take you?" Ayla replied."There is no time to argue Ayla! I know how to handle Alex , just go!" I
The moment the cab stopped, I looked at the agency and realized the plan to report Alex's dirty deeds to them could go either way, but all I could hope for was for it to go in my favor."Good morning" I greeted the receptionist, who was buried on her computer. The moment she looked up in my direction, she pointed up the stairs, taking me off guard. I whispered my gratitude and moved towards the direction, uncertain as to what to expect.I saw the tag at the door and realized this was the head of the agency office and after a series of knocks at the door, I would eventually be allowed to gain access into the office."Mr. Jaxon , nice to see you." The man behind the desk said, getting up to his feet and extending his hands for a handshake. "I have to say that we have been expecting you." He added with a smile on his face."I came to discuss something important with you." I said the moment I would make myself comfortable at the seat that I had been offered. "Before you say anything, I j
"I still have one last document that shows my claim over the company. We can use this as a bait to lure Alex into our trap and make sure that he takes it." I explained the plan in detail to Levi and the boys."I hope you are aware that Alex is smart, he would know that forfeiting the documents willingly is suspicious, we need to act ahead of him." "I know Alex more than any of you. He is my business partner. Since he is after signing the next big deal that would make the company become his own, he would be needing this document. His clients would ask for the deeds and that's when he would realize they are with me. He will come for it and we will take immediate actions against him." I looked at their faces and noticed a lot of them were buying into the plan and this gladdened my heart."So first, we already know he is going to meet up with the Chinese investors tomorrow, I need you to tell your spies to pay close attention to everything they say or do. If anything goes wrong, we wi
My father stared at me for a moment, apparently looking for the right words to explain his ordeal. I knew not to be harsh on him, but I could not help it, even after all these years and everything he had done to me."I know things have been rough in the past, between the both of us and that is why I beg you to just listen to what I have to say.""You know what, I cannot stand any of this again!" I got up on my feet despite the plea from his wife.I could not stand seeing his face, after all the horrible things he has ever done to me in the past. There was too much trauma involved.By the time I arrived at the house, I took a deep breath, not willing to step inside because I knew that Jaxon was in there.Summoning the last courage, I made my way into the room and found him on the couch watching the news."How did your trip go?" He asked, but I chose to keep quiet. "Come on Ayla, you don't have to be like this. There is a reason why we are called a couple and that is because we argue an
I drove down the street to my father's residence in tears as I remembered how it all started, the first time he raped him.He staggered into my bathroom heavily drunk that unfortunate day. I was actually taking my bath and he stood at the door staring at me with a lustful gaze while licking his lips.The little innocent me, I was just eight years old then, was calling out to him to come carry him like he always does whenever he comes back from work, "Daddy! You're back so late tonight, I miss you. Common, come carry me""You're so beautiful" he said as he walked towards me while I giggled happily as I stood under the running shower."You look so ripe, I'm sorry for this" he said while I stared at him with confusion wondering why he was apologizing when he suddenly started touching me in ways that didn't seem right. I tried to push him away to no avail.My nanny was the only one that knew about it, she took care of me for days while my dad bought me all sorts of stuff and everything I
