Just A Night Stand What have you done
The dinner was so fun that Hailey didn’t realize so much time had gone. She immediately hurried out to meet Frank who was waiting for her on the car. “Wait!” Ryan stopped her. She turned back to him as she was about to open his car door. “Thank you for coming today.” “Thank you too,” she smiled. “You showed what a healthy family looks like.” He smiled and nodded. “It’s fine. Your family can be healthy too. You’ve just got to recognize those who deeply love you,” he advised. “At this point, I am okay by myself. I do not think I can trust anyone at this point. Everyone in my life seems to be lying to me…except you,” Hailey informed him. “I know it can be tough,” he advised as he took her hands in his. “But you’ve got to recognize those to trust. Believe me, it’s not everyone who is lying to you. Some people really care about you. You’ve just got to recognize them.” She thanked him and gazed into his eyes for a while before leaning to peck him on the cheek. “Thank you for tonight
Just A Night Stand Make things work
“How does seeing your daughter hate you make you feel?” Naya’s therapist asked as she sat before her contemplating Hailey’s coldness towards her. “It reminds me of how much I hated my father,” Naya confessed. “I used to treat him the same way because of how much he abused my mother. I even did worse than Hailey is doing right now. I spat in his food, applied graffiti on his car on a Monday morning before he went to work, I spoke out loud during his business calls.” “Do you think this is karma teaching you a lesson?” The therapist asked. Naya laughed. “I do not regret any of those actions. Hailey’s situation is different. I didn’t do anything to harm her. I am the one who is wronged here, but she doesn’t understand. My father wronged me. He was abusive towards my mother and normalized toxicity. That was just too painful to watch. I had to do something about it. I didn’t know how else to react to such a cruel man.” Naya explained. The therapist nodded. “Alright, I understand,” she
Just A Night Stand Change my mind
Hailey paced around her room wondering why it took so long for them to take her. She called her father hoping for an explanation but he wasn’t picking her call. “What happened? Why is no one answering me?” She thought. The door opened eventually and standing before her was Naya who looked emotional to see her. Hailey felt disgusted by herself and looked around for her father. Without any warning, Naya pulled her for a hug and Hailey rolled her eyes in frustration. “I really missed you,” Naya said, tightening the hug. Hailey said nothing. She waited for the hug to be broken before looking around for her father. “Where is my dad?” She asked. “He is coming up now to carry your bags,” Naya said, clearing the tears that flowed down her cheeks. “I am really so happy to see you.” “Whatever,” Hailey was an ingrate. She walked out of her and jogged down the stairs to see her father. On seeing her, she wrapped her arm around him for a hug. “You had to keep me there all morning,” Hailey n

Lovelyn was impressed by what Hailey said. She cleared her fake tears and hugged the girl tightly, kissing her on the cheeks repeatedly.“Thank you so much my love,” Lovelyn appreciated. “Thank you for not leaving me alone.” “Mum, it’s fine,” Hailey cleared her tears. “Stop crying. You are going to make me feel hurt now. I just want you to promise me one thing.”Lovelyn nodded. “Anything for my baby girl,” Lovelyn agreed with a smile. “I will do anything for you.” “Stop being harsh to me,” Hailey said with a broken voice. “I won’t leave you, I promise you. I understand you wanted a daughter so bad and you are overprotective due to that. I would have done the same too, but please do not be hard on me.” Lovelyn had a slight confused look for a second before turning to Naya with a hypocritical nod. “Sure, sure!” She agreed anyway. “I will change my ways for you.”“Also leave Ryan’s family alone. They have done nothing to deserve this. You shouldn’t have gone to their home to embarra
Just A Night Stand Touch me like that
Brett couldn’t be more grateful that Hailey was living with him again. Before she arrived home, he ensured he gave her the best room and painted the wall her favorite color. He bought her a lot of fashion magazines and placed a make up box full of makeup items under her bed. When the poor girl caught sight of these things, she was highly impressed. Lovelyn never let her use them, and the fact Brett was giving her this freedom shocked her. The poor girl wasn’t sure of what to say. She gazed at Brett for a while and hugged him briefly.“Thank you,” she thanked him. “But this won’t change my mind about you.”Brett understood why she said that, so he pretended to be unbothered. As soon as he left her room, he walked back to Naya with teary eyes. Unconsciously, he pulled her close for a hug pressing her breast against his chest. Naya was very uncomfortable since she had never felt this close to a man. She had but not when she was in her right senses. She stood there like a stiff tree conte
Just A Night Stand Let it all out
When Hailey stepped into the school, everyone gazed at her awkwardly. She couldn’t tell if it was because she lost the fashion queen contest or because of what her mother did to Ryan. Either way, she knew that both news were embarrassing enough for students to talk about her for days. She couldn’t still make friends and wasn’t even sure of how to start. The first one she had managed to make hated the living hell out of her. Thanks to Lovelyn who made drastic decisions. “At least she promised not to do it again,” Hailey said to herself, trying to convince her mind not to hate her mother. “Give her another chance, Hailey. It is not mum’s fault. Those people were just unfair to her.”Arriving at her classroom, she caught sight of Ryan making jokes with the others. When they caught sight of each other, Ryan ignored her coldly. He went on making his jokes pretending that she didn’t exist. Hailey’s heart broke. What the hell had her mother done to those people? Was it that bad? During rec
Just A Night Stand My Hangout
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
Just A Night Stand My conclusion
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

Just A Night Stand The revelation
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
Just A Night Stand Make me a choice
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
Just A Night Stand Husband Snubby
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
Just A Night Stand Close to the truth
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
Just A Night Stand The allegations
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
Just A Night Stand Secret Nemesis
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
Just A Night Stand Finale?!
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
Just A Night Stand Now and Forever
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
Just A Night Stand Pool Romance
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
