Naya felt relieved that Hailey was slowly opening up to her. They paused the movie for a while and took a walk in a park close to Brett’s apartment. They both watched cute dogs play around and some young couples giggling over a cone of ice cream.

“How was staying in prison like?” Hailey asked. Naya made a funny face as if indicating that it wasn’t as easy as they presumed.

“It was bad,” Naya confessed. “During my first few months, I was bullied a lot. I had to work as a maid for this ugly lady who wouldn’t shower at all.”

“Ewwww!” Hailey exclaimed in shock. “That must be disgusting. How did you cope with her?”

“I was positive at that time,” Naya smiled. “Someone gave me hope that I would be out soon, so I held on to that dream. The person deceived me big time. I felt very stupid.”

“Is that why you are angry at dad?” Hailey asked.

Naya shook her head.

“No, your dad’s offense came later on. I was angry with him for years but it wasn’t his fault though. As usual, Lovelyn played her

    Naya arrived back home with Hailey and waved her goodbye as she walked back in. Brett admired the view. He joined Naya with her hands buried in his pocket. “I see you are getting along with her,” he said to Naya who nodded. “It isn’t easy,” she confessed. “But I am trying. Hailey has been through a lot lately and she is learning how to open up. I just hope I was able to win her trust. She seems to like me a bit now.”Brett laughed sarcastically. “Hailey is a good actress, Naya. She can pretend to get along with you, but that doesn’t mean she really likes you. At that point, she might just be going with the flow, or trying to get the conversation over with.” Brett informed her.“Good way to encourage me to keep fighting for her,” Naya said with an angry look. “I cannot believe you are being such an arsehole right now. Is this something you are supposed to tell me at a time like this?”Brett smiled and ran his hands softly on her cheeks. “I am sorry,” he gazed at her lips and drew c

    Hailey grabbed hold of her ringing phone and sighed at the sight. It was her mother calling her for the fifth time that day, probably trying to convince to choose her over her father. Hailey was indecisive of her choice at that moment. Since she spoke to Naya, her mind had second thoughts regarding her mother. Naya wasn’t such a bad choice and she knew she could learn a lot from this strange lady. But she was already used to being with her mother. It wasn’t a comfortable feeling living with a father whom she didn’t admire and a woman who claimed to be her mother. A woman who has been proven to be her real mother. Hailey groaned and laid on her bed in anger. “Why is this so hard?!” She thought to herself. “Why can’t I decide who to trust? Mummy must have made a mistake in the past, but she can change, right? She has promised to change.”Her phone rang for the sixth time. This time she picked it up and placed it over her ear without much thought. “Yes?” She questioned adjusting her b

  • Just A Night Stand   The court

    Hailey gave Lovelyn a pitiful look as they all sat in court ready for the hearing. Naya prayed silently in her mind. She wished for nothing more than for Hailey to realize how much she meant to her. Hailey’s lingering stare at Lovelyn deeply discouraged her. It was at that point she knew that something was wrong, but she couldn’t tell what. What had Lovelyn told Hailey and why does Hailey keep staring at her mother like that?“I think we might be in trouble,” Naya whispered to Brett as he watched the judge settle down. “Why is that?” Brett asked, confused. “Hailey keeps staring at Lovelyn,” Naya explained. “Lovelyn must have told her something which is troubling her thoughts. I do not like where this is heading at all.”Brett took her hand and offered it a soft tap. “You are overthinking this now,” he informed her. “Relax, Naya. Everything will be fine. Hailey isn’t a child anymore.” “Brett, you do not understand!” Naya argued. “Hailey is a sentimental child. What is Lovelyn telli

    No one expected Lovelyn to go crazy like that. The idea of Hailey leaving her must have really shook her a lot. Perhaps, she hadn’t expected Hailey not to fall for her lies of being sick. “So you do not care about your sick mother?!” Lovelyn asked in rage. “If I were truly sick, you wouldn’t have sympathized with me, would you?” Hailey was confused. “Wait, you aren’t sick?” She asked with surprise. “Mum, you told me yesterday that you were sick. I was going to ask dad to help you.” “Well good thing I am not sick, because it would be a blow to me if I were to experience this as a sick woman. This is definitely one of the greatest betrayals I have ever experienced in my life!” The police managed to grab hold of her and collect the gun. “I won’t forgive you for this, Hailey! I won’t!” Her mum screamed as she was taken away. Naya sighed with relief when she was gone and turned to Brett in shock. “You married a crazy woman for sure,” she sipped in some air. “I cannot believe she lie

    “Did you ever imagine a day would come when we will both be in the room, sharing the same duvet cover and making love under the rising sun?” Brett asked the next morning as she opened her eyes from her sleep. She’d slept on his muscular chest the whole night, enjoying the sound of his beating heart. “No,” Naya admitted. “If someone came from the future and told me that I would marry you, I would never agree at all. I would think the person is crazy.”“It’s funny how life works, isn’t it?” He kissed her forehead. “It is the person you least expect that makes your heart ponder.”Naya smiled. She adjusted herself on his chest and cuddled him closely. “All I want is for this moment to last forever, that’s all. I want nothing more. I promise,” she said softly. “It will,” he assured her. “We just need to find the time to be all by ourselves. Just you and I,” he caressed her arm softly. She gazed at him sweetly and kissed him on the lips. “Just you and I,” she repeated. “My baby’s daddy,

    Lovelyn knew how stubborn she could be when she sets her mind to something. As soon as she heard of Naya little dinner party, she disguised herself as one of Naya’s male cousins and walked in. She wasn’t sure of why she thought that would be a great idea, but that worked out well when she was allowed in freely. She gazed around the house looking at the guests and searched for her daughter Hailey. That was who she cared about the most and that was whom she had come to get. If she doesn’t get Hailey, then no one was having a successful party. As she gazed around, moving suspiciously trying not to be noticed, she bumped into Zara who looked as lost as she was. “Could you watch where you are going?!” Zara scolded her in anger. Lovelyn ignored her and went on. When she got to the mansion stairway, she turned back to be sure Zara’s eyes hadn’t followed her. How wrong she was? The lady was still staring at her, as if suspicious of why she acted so weird. “Where the hell is that girl?!” Lo

    Brett has never run as fast as he did before. He pushed the guests out of the way and raced up the stairs. There was no sign of Lovelyn at the hallway, but he did catch sight of Halley's door flung open. He hurried in and felt his heart almost skip. Naya was with her, hugging her softly as she comforted her and reminded her that all was good. He could see the fear in the girl’s eyes and the non stop tears that wouldn’t stop flowing. “Where is she?” He asked Naya as if she would know. “I saw her run down the hallway, back towards the staircase. I had to call the authorities immediately.” Naya informed him.“It is good you did,” he sighed with relief. “That lady is crazy. I do not think anyone can handle this much craziness.”“Why is she out of jail though?” Naya questioned. “She pointed a gun at everyone in court.” “My wife has connections,” Brett informed her. “You shouldn’t be surprised at the things she gets away with. She has done so many crazy things, I can assure you.”“Your

    Naya turned off the room light and climbed into bed feeling tired. As she placed the blanket over her, she felt Brett’s hands slide up her leg, towards her thigh to her stomach. “Wait!” She stopped him sharply. “I forgot to tell the servants to take out the crate of dirty plates. They can’t leave it in the kitchen overnight. It will make that place stink and attract rodents.” Brett frowned with an upset look. “Come on. You cannot be thinking of a responsibility when I am already so hard. I really need you in my arms right now.” He kissed her on the neck, and went straight to bed. “Baby, you need to give me a few minutes, okay?” Naya could barely concentrate. “I cannot sleep thinking of that thing lying out there on the kitchen counter.” “Where do you want them to put it then? It is past midnight.” Brett didn’t understand what she was on about. “They could put it in a dishwasher,” Naya already had the plan in mind. “We have about 5 dishwashers. They aren’t for fancy, are they?”

    Brett sat in the sitting room feeling uncomfortable by the silence of the house. But his wife made her choice, he had to accept it. Hailey came by that morning, giving him a stone look. She silently helped her mum in carrying her things even though she knew in her mind that she had a lot to say. “Will you be able to care for the children by yourself?” Hailey asked her mum as she walked her to the car.“I will be fine, my love,” Naya laughed. I am more gallant than you think.” “I don’t think this is fair on dad’s part?” Hailey gazed back at Brett who watched from the door. “It was mutual agreement between me and your father. We agreed that I leave this nonsense…” “No! It was your choice,” Brett defended. “I don't know why you cannot trust me on this. I have tried so hard to comply with you. I have tried hard to explain all this to you…” “Enough daddy!” Hailey lashed, unable to control her temper anymore. “Just stop! You aren’t helping this matter.”“You ought to be supporting me h

    Herald made up his mind to lead Brett. He wasn’t sure what sort of fool Brett was, or why Brett would trust him. But it wasn’t his own business anymore. He would throw Brett off and he would do it in such a way that the guy would never notice. He accepts the gun from Brett's hands trying to maintain an innocent stare. “I will help you,” he said with a sincere gaze. “That’s very good,” Brett laughed. “I knew I could trust you. I had no clue who else I could call. You are the only one that came to my mind, unfortunately.”Herald let out a weak chuckle. Brett focused on one of his helpers and ordered her to get Herald some wine. “Would you like some wine?” Brett asked with a smirk. “Sure, why not,” Herald eyes brightened due to the thought of wine. “This is a moment to celebrate! We are gonna work together!” Brett smiled and got him the wine. Brett took the glass of wine from him and they both had a toast. As he gulped down his whole cup, Brett felt reluctant to drink his.“I can’t

    When Herald got the invite from Brett, he knew all wasn’t good. Unfortunately, Brett wasn’t dumb. Brett knew who he suspected, and was fond of getting into the matter of things. Herald couldn’t relax in his home. His eyes kept moving to his phone hoping for feedback concerning his flight. “Sorry, all flights have been closed due to the weather,” one of the agents informed him. Gerald frowned. “So you're telling me that I can’t get an emergency flight or what?!” He sounded harsh. His house girl gazed at him from the dining table she cleaned. She’s never seen him so angry before. In fact, his sudden outburst was rare. Herald was a cheerful dude. He was never angry… like ever. Herald’s phone rang again. It was Brett trying to remind him to visit. Gerald shivered. “It’s not my damn fault,” he quivered. “Do not blame me for this…please.” The house girl stared at him again. This time, he was mumbling words to himself and that was absurd. “Sir, are you fine?” She asked. “You are trembl

    Herald couldn’t hide his confusion due to what happened. He knew he did as his father ordered, but what he least expected was the explosion which shook the earth. He hurriedly got into his car to drive Brett’s home. He needed to check up on the family and confirm how they were doing. He needed to know what the police knew. As he drew closer to the location, his phone rang, throwing him slightly off guard. It was his father, feeling proud of what he had done. “Keep this up,” his father said to him. “You have done very well.”“Dad, what the hell are you talking about? The Hazards just faced a huge disaster and…”His father began to laugh heartily. This made him confused for a moment until he eventually realized what was going on. “Dad, did you do this?” He asked in confusion.“I told you that I will always repay evil for evil,” the man wasn’t remorseful at all. Herald couldn’t believe his father would do such a thing. I mean, he knew how cruel his father was, but that amount of wicked

    The Mafia Lord heard of the approaching wedding and frowned as he gazed at the E-invitation card with a frown. Of course he hadn’t been invited. But Brett was stupid enough to keep his enemies closer. Unfortunately, one of Brett’s office colleagues got invited. And that was his son, Herald. The Mafia Lord kept Herald away from the mafia business for a long time, seeing him as a golden child. There was no way he wanted his favorite to get into trouble. It seems that won’t last for long. As long as Brett worked with his son, and his son Herald was an easy way to get across to Brett, he had no issue with that. Things seem to fall in place…right? If only the Mafia Lord was in the same country with Brett to watch him and his family die slowly. The thought was really eating him slowly. Well, since his son was working with Brett, things should be easier. “I see you are friends with Mr Brett Hazard,” the Mafia Lord said to his son over a phone call. “You never told me you were close to th

    Brett stepped out of his car in his well ironed suit. The ceremony was about to start and everyone ran helter skelter to see what pending tasks were left. Brett wasn’t bothered. He seemed a bit at ease for a new groom, and kept his hands tucked in his pocket maintaining his composure.“The ceremony is about to start. Do you know where your wife is yet?” His mother asked as she cuddled Damian who was asleep on her shoulder. “She will be here soon,” Brett said with a smile. “Let her take her time.”“Are you serious?” His mother looked unimpressed. “We have a freaking time limit here! You can’t just tell us to be patient with the wedding. The priest is already here.”“Trust me. Hailey knows what she is doing,” Brett said to his mother. “You spoil that woman a lot,” his mother hissed before walking out. When she left, Brett shut his eyes and took a deep breath. It was still difficult to believe it was the damn D day. If someone told him, he would never believe it. “Congrats man!” A gro

    Hailey hurried up the stairs in her pajamas carrying a bouquet as the rest of the servants raced behind her.“Please tell me the band is here,” Hailey pleaded as she walked down the well lit hallway. The house was busy that weekend and everyone couldn’t hold back from the noise. There was a huge celebration happening at the Hazards apparently and everyone had their eyes on Hailey. “Why aren’t you ready yet?” Zara asked in shock as she walked out Hailey’s room with a jewelry box. “Do not be upset, I am just busy,” Hailey waved her off. “There is so much going on and we have to make this day a success.” “You need to calm down,” Zara calmed her down. “The marriage will happen anyway. Just calm down.”“No, I can't calm down. The band isn’t at the venue yet. The meals are still pending. What do you want me to do? Everything is a total mess,” Hailey nagged. “Hailey, you cannot get things done with a panicked mood,” Zara rolled her eyes. “You need to think clearly if you wish to plan som

    Few months later, as Naya got Damian ready for daycare, she heard a loud scream from the highway and hurried to look. It was poor Hailey, getting scared for no reason at all…or maybe there was a reason. “What’s wrong?” Naya asked. “Relax, dear.”“Someone has kidnapped Ryan!” Naya cried. “What?!” Naya was shocked. “Why?! How?!” “I don’t know. He asked me to come to this address, we need to go,” Hailey showed her an address on her phone. It was a remote location Naya didn’t have faith in. “Let us go with the police. I do not trust this place,” Naya informed her with a doubtful stare. “No, mum, you do not understand. They will hurt him,” Hailey cried. “We have no other choice,” Naya advised her. “We need to involve the police, if not, they will do something to us.” Hailey couldn’t argue with her mum. In a few minutes, they were on their way to the location with the police. It was an abandoned location with an odd looking warehouse which hadn't been used in years. “Won’t you guys

    Later that night, Naya had submerged her feet in the swimming pool watching the full moon. Brett joined her with two glasses of wine. They cheered and took sips. “Why does the air feel different?” He asked Naya who couldn’t agree more. “We are at a new era in our lives. A live where all our enemies have been put in their place,” Naya told him and took another sip of the drink. “Funny enough, we do not have to do anything. It just falls into place, you know,” Brett boasted. “I love when things fall on our laps. Damn! Let them all be coming, and let’s be showing them where they belong. It feels good to be evil,” Naya smirked. “Your soft heart is incapable of white, unfortunately,” Brett mocked and took the drink from her. He dropped it on the tiles beside the pool and jumped in. “Come on!” He called her out. “Let’s have fun in the pool.” Naya nodded and got in carefully. She swam towards him and poured a handful of water at him, which he retaliated. They swam around like childre
