CARLA Just great. I wasn't expecting this to happen at all. If a fight had broken out right now and they've harmed themselves, I would be to blame. But really it's not my fault. I wanted to go out for a bit, Jayden was too busy attending to business matters on his laptop that I decided to go for a stroll. Only to be pulled by Jerry to a side. I did not think Jayden would come after me like that. Sometimes I think he's taking this too serious. He left his business just to spy on me? And to top it all he picks a fight with Jerry. This is so hard, I don't know if I can survive in a committed relationship. I don't want to be controlled or uncomfortable with the person I'm supposed to see as my boyfriend. I stared at him after Jerry left, he had this look that can kill anyone. I mean he's deadly right now. "Jayden..." I called. He turned and left. I ran after him till we got to the suite. He went back to the table where he kept his laptop and business files. I slammed the door shut an
CARLALast night was a bit boring as Jayden fell asleep beside me. I had to cover him up and continued watching the movie. It seems he was very tired from wherever he was coming from and it showed perfectly on his face. He only tried not to act like it to keep me company. I later woke him up to my bedroom. But I did not find him beside me this morning when I woke up. He sent me a text that he has an emergency at work and he left early to attend to it. He's a very busy man, I understand. I wonder if he had breakfast at all today. So I called him and offered to get him lunch, which he agreed to. Of course, knowing how always jealous Jayden is. I arrived at the huge corporation watching it in awe. I still can't believe my boyfriend owns all of this. It's quite a big achievement for him to have all of this at his age. I got to the reception and showed her the text from Jayden. She eyed me a bit before directing me to the top floor where his office is. Most people were looking at me stra
CARLA"I'm doing a good cleanup today. Since I'm off at work." Joyce said coming into the living room. I smiled. "That will be great Joyce. Just know I am not helping out with anything. I am way too tired to work myself out." She scoffed, "You always say that yet you don't do anything. Lazy ass." She walked into the kitchen. I checked the time and decided to leave in the next thirty minutes. I want Jayden to become busy at work before leaving the house. For all I know, he could be somewhere trying to watch me. I don't want to him to see me going into the hospital. I also don't want Joyce to suspect anything either. Jayden is still feeling insecure about me. I don't blame him though, considering the kind of person I am. If only he knows what is bothering me is more than that. "You said you're going out right? Why don't we go together? I also want to visit the mall." Joyce asked coming back into the living room. "No, you're still busy and I have to leave in thirty minutes. You do
JOYCEI patted her back and comforted her. I feel so bad and uneasy that she is going through something like this. She kept this from everyone including me, she must be so devastated. I did go through her stuff put of suspicions. She locked her room when she travelled with Jayden which made me wonder why she had to do that. I have been trying to figure if she has been doing something shady for weeks. Then I planned to clean the whole house as an excuse to get into the room. I searched through her things and found this below all her clothes. My heart bled when I saw the test results, everything she has been hiding and even the surgery she did. Then I remembered when she was always going out during the days. That was a very long time ago. I suspected her then but she hid it so well. Then she travelled for a few days, probably to do the surgery. I understand Carla is a strong woman who has been through a lot in her life. This seems so unfair to her. She tries to smile and live her life
JAY(Continued)"Why is no one giving me an answer? Are you two going to talk or should I make you?" Mom asked for the second time impatiently. Madeline was unable to say anything, her face portrayed anger but I don't care. "It stops here Madeline. Tell mom what you did or I'll help you." I told her. She scoffed, "What have I done? All I'm trying to do is save you and the family from harm. You only see the wrong in it. It's your fault not mine." "What? What are you saving him from?" Mom asked again. "She drugged me because she wanted to separate me from my new girlfriend. She has made it clear that she has every right to make decisions for me. So she has taken it upon herself to interfere in my life." Mom's eyes widened, "Madeline! You drugged your brother! How could you do something so evil to your own brother?" "He is dating a whore and a scheming gold digger. All she is going to do is tear this family apart. I don't like her." Madeline replied mom with no remorse. "That's n
CARLAI have no idea how I got the strength to be mad at him when I am not. I just don't like seeing him become violent whenever he sees Jerry. I don't know what is going on between them that they are always fighting. This can't just be because of business, it has to be something personal. "I'm sorry." He said after I threatened to kick him out. He looks so nervous and he's hiding something behind him. I wonder what it is. "I am not the one you should say that to. You know where to apologise." I told him. "I'm sorry darling. I brought these for you." He brought out a bouquet of flowers. My heart fluttered like a butterfly, this is the first time I'm receiving such a lovely bouquet of flowers from a sincere person. The other ones I've ever gotten are from men who want to see my nakedness. Not from a man who sincerely loves me like Jayden. "You can't bribe me with this. You should know that. I'm not that easy to buy off with flowers." I scoffed pretending not to like it. "You don'
CARLA(Continued)They both looked at me waiting for me to say something. "I think I should excuse you guys." Joyce suggested leaving. I stopped her, "No Joyce. You are the reason I kept him and his life was saved. You should be here.""Umm... I don't think it's necessary. Besides I did nothing, we did it together." She replied scratching the back of her neck. "No Joyce. You're not leaving." I warned her. I faced him, "How are you feeling Jerry?""Good. Since you took care of me." He replied with a smile. This smile. He always has to smile even when things are not okay. Can he not tell that this is getting out of hand? "What happened to you last night? Why did you stand in the rain knowing fully well that you have a fever? Why didn't you also visit the hospital and came to my house instead?" I asked him all questions at the same time. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bother you but I had nowhere to go." He apologized. What does he mean he has nowhere to go? Doesn't he have a famil
JAYI never invited her over. Besides I remember Nelly helped me up to my room before leaving. So how did Samantha get here this early in the morning. She doesn't come this early so I have to ask. "Nelly told me what happened. That's why I came." She replied sitting beside me on the bed. Nelly is such a pain in the ass. Why did he have to call my sister? I don't want mom to find out anything happened, I decided to investigate like he suggested. But I will stay away from Carla in the meantime. "You don't have to. I am fine, I will rather be alone." I said looking away to prevent her from seeing the hurt in my eyes. "You should be able to talk to me Jayden. I wouldn't be here if I didn't care about you. I was worried when Nelly told me everything. I am afraid Jayden, I don't want history to repeat itself. You may not be lucky this time." I looked at her, "No history is going to repeat itself. I won't let that bring me down. You don't have to worry about me."She hit my head angrily
