Claiming the Billionaires Frosty Heart RESENTMENT
KARENI fumed inside when I heard people talking badly about Jay behind his back. The popular saying of you never knowing when people would turn back against you in a matter of seconds for when things go wrong played in my head at such times. These were people he might have in one way or another helped. If only they knew even one thing about him… they would not talk shit about him. Later when I visited Catherine, she looked pale. I knew immediately that something was amiss. But she would not speak about it. “Did something happen?” I asked her. She forced a smile. “Nothing is wrong, my dear. Now that I am approaching death, some days my body feels so weak and unable to do anything,” she said, smiling faintly. “Don't speak of death so lightly. I know I'm not supposed to be getting involved in your life. But could you tell me why you have decided to not take the chemotherapy as your doctor suggested?”“What is the use of living…” she shrugged and muttered under her breath with a s

“Would you be satisfied to see her die? Why are you being stubborn!” Karen slammed. “You think I'm being stubborn? Then you know nothing about me.” Jay spun and darted back to his seat. But stopped when he had almost gotten around his desk. His chest tightened and he forced down a hard lump. Turning around to face Karen while putting up the calmest expression he could mutter. “You should leave. I am never seeing her again. I am still trying to remedy the situation she has brought upon me and my company.”“Your trauma all started because of her. I know. You have nightmares and seizures. You love and hate her at the same time. You know why? Because you still think about her.” She spoke almost accusingly that it pricked Jay. Jay's brows furrowed as he stared narrowly at Karen. The next instant he turned around and backed her. “Leave.”“Jay…reconsider your decision. I know you want to hate her so much. But do you know I hate her more than you? I hate her for hurting you…for putting y

Jessica leaned in. Her lips lingered close to Jay’s face. “You still love me, don't you…”“Jessica…”“Shhhhh.”She placed a finger across his lips and brought her face closer. Jay sighed and tilted his face away. He stepped aside, walked over to the window and stood backing Jessica.The face of Karen chose that moment to flash in his head. He gnawed on his lower lips. He had broken up with her, why did she keep appearing in his mind. Why did he feel guilty being in the same space with another woman?Behind him, Jessica’s teeth grinded. She could never get used to being rejected by Jay in this manner. Once, he had loved her, breathed her and couldn't live without her. Even if she stayed away from him and returned later, his heart was always for her. He was always ready to welcome her back, grateful she felt pity enough for him to return. They were too worlds apart emotionally but he loved her deeply and that was all that mattered. His love for her. Everything was supposed to remain

Jay went through the note Hugo left him on his desk for the umpteenth time. Something that he hoped will be able to remedy his current problems. The only step he would need to not allow the greedy men from taking away his labour and sweat of many years. In addition to his father's toils. Hugo had written it perfectly as he ordered him but Jay still felt he might get emotional the instant he mounted that podium. It was either he forgot some parts and added the parts purely from his emotions or he spoke directly from his head and completely abandoned the script written for him. He remembered Jessica's offer and sighed. The moment she had left his office the last time after making that tempting offer to him, more articles and news came up. Adams group was bashed in the worst way ever. As if it was his mind telling him to accept Jessica's help and end things quickly before things got worse. But he didn't want to allow himself to be trapped in her web again. It took him a lot of self

It was the third time Jay walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water he never intended to drink. Mrs Caro and Mrs Rhoda happened to be the ones on kitchen duty. The two women exchanged glances at Jay's second time of coming in, holding back the questions already formed in their heads. At the fourth time, Mrs Rhoda, unable to hold back anymore, abruptly wheeled. “Chairman.”Startled, Jay halted. “Sir, is there something you would like to say?” Mrs Rhoda asked. Jay blinked. He felt his throat tighten. “Urhm… I was just…”“He meant you should prepare porridge and steamed vegetables,” Mr Hendricks said walking in. “Good morning, Mr Hendricks,” the women greeted and stared at him, surprised. Mr Hendricks nodded back their greetings with a light smile and met Jay's jaw slacked face. Seeing the way a towel hung around his neck and his outfits, Jay immediately knew he was coming in from morning workout. Mr Hendricks hummed lightheartedly as he picked a bottle of water from

Sighing, Jay picked up the packaged food and started out of his house with mixed feelings. Minutes later he arrived at the hospital. As he approached the hallway to his mother's room, nurses were scampering towards the same direction he was going. And the alarm sound was beeping. Jay was trying to comprehend what was going on when a darting figure he hadn't seen coming brushed past him hastily. An eerie feeling swept over him. By the time he steadied himself and looked behind, the figure had disappeared. He continued forward but his steps quickened and his legs got heavier with each step that he took. Few feets from the door, his legs slowed to a stop. A nurse dashed out of the room. Jay felt a chill feel climb his body. A sharp exhale left him and it dawned on him the patient in need of emergency attention was his mother. The sound of the medical beeping equipment sounded very vivid now and he could hear the hustling and bustling of the medical team. He strided into the roo

When Karen didn't pick after the first ring, Jay's fear increased. At the second ring, Karen fortunately picked up. “Where are you right now!” his voice boomed into the phone. “Why…why are you asking me that?” Karen asked from the other side of the phone. Jay forced himself to stop and take a calming breath. “Karen, please, tell me where you are right now. I will come there and get you,” he breathed. “Why will you come here?”“Just tell me where you are!” He didn't know when he yelled. Quickly realising himself, he took a deep breath before he continued, “I'm sorry…please tell me where you are. I will explain everything when I get there.”“Oak garden.”“Okay. Don't leave there. Don't talk to anyone strange and don't let anyone else know you are there…”“You are acting strange. What is going on?” Karen sounded alarmed. “Calm down. I will explain when I get there. Okay?”Jay scurried all the way to his car and hopped in. Hitting the gear to the high level he hit the road.His pho

Jay drove in silence occasionally glancing at Karen and then out the windows. If at all Carlos was following them or had someone following them, he had to know. Karen looked everywhere but at him. She thought of so many things. One of which was why Jay was behaving oddly. Is he regretting breaking up with me?Earlier at the Oaks garden, she thought she saw a hint of jealousy in his eyes when Collins placed his hand on her body. Talking about Collins Morgan… Karen sighed. Things were gradually getting out of her control. She shut her eyes and tried not to think about anything at all and just let things play out. Opening her eyes and Jay cornering into the road by their right got Karen immediately alerted. Her head tilted to face Jay. “Where are we going? You haven't gotten to my stop.”“We are going to my house,” Jay said. Karen sat up, displeasure laced her eyes. “Why are you bringing me to your house?”“There will be safer at the moment.”Karen felt her ears twitch. “Can you

KAREN'S POV Arriving at Denva after one month of being away felt like I had been away for so long. Like I was stepping in a new place. Maybe it was just that part of me that was feeling a bit refreshed. I got out of the long bus dragging my echolac along. One of the things I wanted to do the moment I returned to Denva was visit Jessica. Glad she was being punished for her crimes. I also heard about Collins Morgan. Maybe at one point, I thought he was cute but not until I learned the other side of him. After I read the things he did to women, I could never see him in a pure light again. He was in jail too. He got what he deserved. As I sat in the visitor seat waiting for them to bring Jessica out, I imagined me being the one on the other side. I mean, it was almost me if not for Tina “I didn't expect to see you here. What is it?” Jessica slurred as she settled down. “Me neither.”“So?

A MONTH LATERJay pulled up in the empty space of Anderson ‘s front yard which had turned to become his personal parking space in the last month. He had just opened the car door to step down when the frontage of the house opened and both Lily and Mr Anderson poked their heads out. He didn't need them to speak to see the magnitude of disappointment in their eyes. Of course he knew they would rather have Karen be the one appearing in front of the house and not him. And he also knew they always ran out to check each time a car pulled up in front of the house in the hope that it was Karen. They might likely not know because he never showed it but he missed her more than he could describe. He sighed and his teeth grinded in his mouth as he finally stepped down. “Hello, Mr Anderson,” he greeted wearing the smile he had learned to wear in the last month. Mr Anderson, like he always had done, took his hand into a firm shake and welcomed him inside. Mr Anderson offered him his usual kol

WRITER'S POV“You…how…what are you doing here?” Margaret waved a hand as she walked in majestically. “Hello fiancé.” Collins gaped in shock. slowly everything began to make sense. “What did you do to me?” He snarled. “Oh, come on, shouldn’t you say Hi to your fiance first?”“What did you fuvking do to me!”Detective Defoe ordered that Zach and Hunter be taken away from the room leaving only Collins and Margaret. Collins was still clenching and fuming. “You have been spiking my drinks…you are the cause of all this…”“Like how you and your friends have been doing to those innocent girls? Oh, common' you don't think I can stoop to that level now do you.”No matter how much Collins reasoned it, there was no other explanation as to how drugs were detected in his blood. Either detective Defoe tampered with the original results or it was the devil before him. “What exactly did I do to you? Why are you out to get me? Why! Why! No matter how I think about it, I have not offended you in any

WRITER'S POV Jay spoke to the lawyer in charge of Karen's case. What the lawyer told him worried him. Karen risked being detained in the holding cell after twenty four hours. He had already hired a private investigator to investigate the case. His eyes appeared weary. He had not had a moment of rest ever since Karen was taken in. Adams group needed him but Karen needed him too. Against Hugo's wishes, he had opted to stay back in the police station while he let him hold the forte back at the company. Even though Karen sent him away, he had refused to leave. He knew she was upset at him and he completely understood. All he wanted more than anything was to get her out of here. Later he spoke to the officer to let him speak to Karen again. To his relief, Karen permitted. “I spoke to your lawyer,” he said when they were given privacy. “What did he say?”“It's more difficult than we thought. The hitman maintains you sent him. We need solid evidence to disprove his claim and I asked t

WRITER'S POV “Your hands at the back of your head!”Zach's gleeful laughter was booming in the room when the door burst open and a team of policemen barged in. Instantly it seized. Pistols aimed at their faces.Alarmed, Collins sat up. Hunter and Zach frightfully pushed away the girl who looked half dead from the drugs she had been made to shove down. “Who called the cops?” Collins gritted, shooting glares at Zach and Hunter. “We should be asking you that!” Zach slammed back.“Your hands at the back of your head!” The officer repeated his warning. Collins could feel his shirt soak with sudden perspiration as he looked around in utmost disbelief and fear inside. He had been arrested for a lot of things but had never been caught right in the act and why in this place of all places. “Shit!”Detective Defoe stepped forward, a victorious smirk lingering in his lip. “Is there a need for us to read your Miranda rights…this wouldn't be your first rodeo,” he said and pressed the cuff firml

WRITER'S POV A FEW HOURS AGO BEFORE KAREN'S ARREST “What!” Jessica's yelp and her palm finding Craig's face happened in quick succession. “Say it again. What did you just say?”Craig’s jaw grinded. It pained him how he had been foolish to want to accept the challenge of tolerating a spoiled brat. Now he was too deep into the shit to take a step back. “It was Miss Tina that was shot. The hit man mistook her for miss Karen as she saw her coming out of Miss Karen's house.”“Simple job! Just a simple thing to do. Useless people! Can't get anything done right.” Then she spun at Craig, “You brought that idiot to me. You told me he was skilled. What happened? He couldn't take care of one person, just one person! He has been caught and he shot the wrong person. Who did you fuvking bring to me!”She stalked to the wine rack to grab a drink, each step she took fueled by barely contained fury. She had to do something before the man said a word to the police. She had to do something. She had
Claiming the Billionaires Frosty Heart NUMB
KAREN'S POV From learning that my friend got shot to hearing the worst news of my life. My friend of many years had wanted me dead because she wanted my man. I couldn't move in my seat. I couldn't, even if I wanted to. I shut my eyes hoping to wake up and find out that everything was all a nightmare until I felt my hand being grabbed and the cold metals clasping my wrist. Maybe it was because I was already numb of any feelings at all that I didn’t feel a pain as the thing locked my arms together. As I was being cuffed, I heard Jay try to speak to one of the officers. Didn't make out his exact words nor the officer’s response but soon they started to take me away. Down the hallway, the pitiful and judgemental gazes of people washed me head to toes. I followed humbly as they led me outside. “I'm coming to the station with her,” I heard Jay say to the officers as they pushed me into the hilux. “No. You don't need to. Officers let's go,” I refused. The last thing I wanted was to wa
Claiming the Billionaires Frosty Heart SECRETS REVEALED
WRITER'S POV“What’s wrong?”Jay asked frozen Karen. Karen didn't move. Her hand dropped lifelessly beside her. Every bit of colour was drained from her face as she struggled to process what she had just heard.“I’m sorry, but I have to leave now,” she mumbled absentmindedly and her legs broke into a run. “Wait, Karen!” Jay rushed and grabbed her arm.“You are going the wrong way,” he said. Karen looked and saw she was heading towards the back of the building. She let out a shuddering breath. “I have to go…”“Please, tell me. What's wrong?” Jay demanded softly. “Tina was shot in front of my house,” Karen murmured. “Shot? How…”“I need to leave now. I need to go to her…Tina needs me…” Maybe this was the answer she needed. Tina was more than a best friend. She was her family and she would not have to be made to either choose her or not in order to be with a man. If there was one person who had always been by her side and she would never want to lose, it was Tina. “Jay, about what y
Claiming the Billionaires Frosty Heart TOUGH CHOICE
KAREN'S POV It was one of the fewest times I ever wished twenty four hours didn't have to end so quickly. After the exhilarating night, it would have been exhausting if I had to wake up early the next day for work or anything at all. It was already mid day by the time my eyes saw daylight. It was the warm light rays that woke me up. The window, although still closed, allowed a generous trail of sun rays trickling inside. Jay was nowhere to be found. Thinking he would be somewhere in the suite, I called out to him but no response.Something in me kicked. I had seen a similar scenario. Like those times when a man brought his lover for a vacation only for the woman to learn it was actually supposed to be their last time together. Stepping outside the suite and I was welcomed by the workers going about their duties with the nice smell of food and fresheners. I walked up to one of them. “Hello. Excuse me…have you seen a man…”“Yes. He is somewhere around. How about you sit in the wa
