Hailey knew Naya had a brief discussion with Ryan, but she couldn’t tell what they discussed. She had tried eavesdropping on their conversation until being stared down by her twin siblings who thought she was becoming nosy. “You didn’t see anything,” Hailey told them, trying to avoid acting suspicious. “Give us something in exchange for the silence,” Partrick stretched out his arm with a smirk. Hailey was shocked by the audacity.“What?!” She exclaimed.“Do not worry,” Patricia loved her brother’s strategy. “They do it a lot in movies.”Hailey frowned. She dipped her hands into her pocket and took out a dollar. At least a dollar was like gold to the 9 year olds. “I will tell mum to stop making you watch TV,” Hailey threatened as she slipped it in their hands. “A dollar is too small,” Patrick frowned. “I agree with Patrick. A dollar can’t buy anything great these days,” Patricia folded her arms. Hailey was completely speechless. “You guys are just children. What do you know abou
Hailey arrived at the restaurant for the double date. It was an expensive 5 star restaurant which she knew Ferdinand adored a lot. No matter how furious that guy was, she was certain that he wouldn’t create a scene in such a classy restaurant. He was that egoistic not to embarrass himself before multi-millionaires who were probably more successful than himself. She took a deep breath and walked in. Her long silver gown with off shoulders dragged behind her as if she was in some kind of classy event. Who told her to over dress you may ask. Even she herself had no answer to that question. She walked in, smiling at the guard at the door. “You are looking very beautiful, Madame. Who are you looking for?” He asked in a British tone. “I am looking for Mr Ferdinand Sucre,” she said. “I am his fiancée. We have a seat reservation.” The guard looked at his tablet to scroll through his list of reserved customers. “That’s right. He has already been locked in. Please follow me. Let me take yo
The slap was so loud that everyone in the restaurant turned towards their direction to find out what was happening. This was Ferdinand’s greatest fear. His shocked look turned to anger as he looked round at the inquisitive faces. “Only God knows how long I have endured you enough,” Hailey said furiously. “You have always messed with my head and looked down on me and I am just tired of it! I am damn tired of it! I am tired of trying, I am tired of taking the blame, I am tired of looking stupid trying to please you! I am tired of defending you! I am tired of the temporary happiness you show me which leads to more pain than good! I am tired of your existence in my life! I am even tired of your disgusting smelling face and your good for nothing wealth!” Ferdinand was confused since he has never heard Hailey speak like that to him before. He’d always seen her as meek and soft spoken, but never that brave and confident. “Don’t you dare talk to me like like….” He tried grabbing her, but s
Ryan and Lora stood up at the sight of Hailey and hugged her in rounds. Hailey knew she didn't know Lora well yet, but her morals couldn’t help with the aspect of courtesy. No matter how distant she felt towards the lady, she knew she’s got to greet her.“You look so nice,” Lora admired her orange shirt and blue Jean. In fact, she had only dressed casually. Hailey could swear that there was nothing special at all about her outfit. “Thanks,” Hailey thanked her anyway and signaled her mother to join them. “Lora, this is my mother, Naya. Mum, Lora,” Hailey introduced. Naya offered Lora a wave and hurried in to get the guests some chips. As soon as Naya was done, Hailey sat down.“Don’t mind my mum,” Hailey said, running her hand down her hair. “She always does that. She can’t attend to a visitor without offering them her chips.”“I guess most mothers are like that. My own mum was so obsessed with the cookies,” Ryan said with a laugh. Hailey recalled and smiled. “I remember those times
“What game is that?” Hailey decided to ask. His face was drawing closer to hers. This weakened her feet as her body got aroused. “I am gonna kiss you slowly, and then get intense with it. If you do not push me off, then I will believe the feeling hasn’t died within you,” he brought forth a challenge. His perfume was so good and her nose yearned for more of that fragrance. Though she knew how risky it was for them to kiss in the open like that, she just couldn’t help it. Her heart wanted him so bad and it had been so long since she fulfilled her heartfelt desires. He pressed his lips against hers and kissed it slowly as he promised. Hailey felt so weak. Her frisky mind caked down instantly and her body felt like it was immersed in a dream. She forgot the challenge of pushing him off if she felt uncomfortable and wanted him more. As he increased the pressure against lips, he ran his hands down her stomach. This made her moan and directly kiss his neck. She couldn’t push him off. She ju
Naya opened her eyes slowly. She gazed up at a white ceiling and turned beside her to be sure of what was going on. Hailey was sitting beside her sobbing, while her twins were arguing over a toy looking bored. Brett was arguing with a doctor at the entrance. As soon as Hailey saw her conscious, she screamed happily and hugged her tightly. “Mum! You are fine!” Hailey couldn’t stop sobbing. Naya didn’t understand what was going on. Why was Hailey getting so emotional? It made no sense to her. “Mum!” Her twins hurried to grab her legs. “What’s happening?” Naya asked, looking around her. “Why am I in the hospital? Where is Damian?”“Damian is safe,” Hailey calmed her down. “He is with grandma at this time. We had to leave him with her so that we can stay with you.”Naya felt relieved. “That’s good to know then,” Naya smiled. “But why am I here? Why were you crying?”“You fainted,” Hailey said, wiping her tears.“Dad was scared. I have never seen him so scared before,” Patrick said. “
“Are you sure these reports are correct?” Naya asked the doctor as she placed the documents before him. “Yes, Naya,” the doctor nodded. “You are cancer free. What is wrong? Why do you not feel happy about it?” Naya smirked in anger. “Someone is doing this to me,” Naya said frustrated. “Someone is purposely making me fall sick and lying to my family that I have cancer. But this makes no sense. Why would they do this to me?”The doctor didn’t understand what she meant. “You are perfectly fine,” he indicated. “But we noticed a bit of poisoning in your blood. We will need to flush that out because we aren’t sure of what that will lead to. Perhaps the cancer you fear might occur.” “So someone has been poisoning me!” Naya slapped the table in anger. “The person is trying to sabotage my family and business. The person is making me look crazy when I tell everyone that I am fine.”“Who else lives in your house?” The doctor asked. “I only live there with my children and husband. There is
Naya couldn’t understand why Doctor Doris would be after her like that. It made no sense. She hadn’t even done anything bad to her. If anyone needed to go through the path or payback, it should be her not Doris! Doris had been a freaking psycho. Naya took her handbag and walked out thinking of what to do. She needed to find out Tiana’s secret and kick her out. As she walked down the stairs, she caught sight of Hailey who hurried in with a bag of groceries. “I am back, Momma!” Hailey placed the grocery bags on the table, grinning. Naya hurriedly grabbed Hailey’s hand and took her out of the house towards the yard. Hailey was shocked by how scared she looked and her frightened glances.“Are you fine? You are scaring me,” Hailey confessed. “Tiana is a spy,” Naya reported. “She poisoned me and is trying make everyone think I have cancer. She stole my original medical report and made a fool out of me. Now your father thinks I need to stay in the hospital.” Hailey shook her head in conf
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
