And here our story begins

“You must be very silly for saying that to me!” Jayden yelled, his voice echoing throughout the hotel lounge, Everyother concierge at the lounge at that time stood in intense silence with their heads bowed, they all knew better than to try to refuse the Jayden Dela Cruz Request, for something as low as hotel policies.

As shocking and as surprising as that sounds that was how things worked over there because Jayden’s cousin and best friend actually owned the hotel, so he was more like a boss there too. Funny, but true!

Jayden was the only son to the Dela Cruz family and apparently the heir to all of the family’s assets and businesses.

After his father died, his mother could not bring herself to just handover all the properties to him, unlike most sons of her friends and business partners, Jayden was quite irresponsible and he knew absolutely nothing about any of the family business.

His mother, Gina actually wanted him to take over the company, stop frolicking around town with different kind of ladies and just be responsible, but Jayden couldn’t be any less bothered!.

“I said to get me a seat in VIP area and you dare stand here to tell me you can’t do it!” He yelled again as he moved intimidatingly close to the lady in question- Gabriella.

His stance was quite intimidating, Six feet tall, broad perfectly toned shoulders and muscle, his brown hair dropping dangerously down his face, his gray eyes sparking with anger as he clenched and unclenched his jaw, but Gabriella didn’t actually care about the drama he was performing right now, the only reason she was smiling at what she thought was his display of madness was because of Hotel etiquette, and as they had being trained, even if they were being frustrated or pushed to the wall by any customer, they had to do one thing, Smile!

Slowly, a small serene smile graced her lips as the corners of her lips stretched widely, lighting up her beautiful brown eyes and perfectly complimenting her brown hair which was packed up in a tight ponytail.

“I’m deeply sorry for the inconvenience sir, as you can see the VIP area on this side of the lounge is filled up,”

“You should have made a reservation before hand but nonetheless I can still move you to another side!” She concluded like she had been repeatedly saying for the past seven minutes.

Her warm smile was still glued to her face and her hands gently placed on each other on her laps as she stood, but her mind was in a great war, she really wanted to lash out on him for being so stubborn, frustrating her and wasting her time.

Gabriella Torres was, well a very simple girl from an extremely humble background, she became an orphan at age sixteen and had struggled with life ever since.

This was her Eighth day on this job though, she didn’t have even the slightest idea who Jayden was and the stature he represented, even if she knew she didn’t seem like she would care.

“You’re still fucking repeating that line to me! I need to see your manager. Who the hell employed you here?!” He yelled.

“I’m sorry that you feel this way sir, if you would just tell me how exactly you want me to help you, I’ll gladly do it if I can,” she answered politely and professionally.

“Empty a seat for me! Damn it! I don’t know what you have to do but fucking ask one person to leave!” He snapped, the other concierge flinched at his loud thundering voice but Gabriella couldn’t be moved, she knew for a fact that he was just one of those very rascally, uncultured and purely lucky rich kids, she was determined to prove to him that he couldn’t always get what he wants.

“I’m sorry sir, but it’s against the hotel policy, every customer here is important and should be treated as such, they own the seat fairly ,”

“I’m sorry I can’t do as you ask, but I definitely can find somewhere else very comfortable for you!” She repeated, Jayden realeased a loud scoff as his eye ball rolled away from her.

“This must be a joke!” He growled.

“Get me Carl! I need to see the manager!” He yelled, just the manager casually strolled in oblivious of the whole drama going on and Jayden angrily stormed off to him.

“Carl, who the hell is this lady! I walk in here demanding for a seat in VIP and she tells me she can’t give me one?! When did you hire her!”

“She’s definitely not fit for this job! Very rude and uncultured!” He ranted , Carl slowly turned to look at Gabriella and she shook her head immediately.

“The VIP section is surprisingly filled up today, but I did offer to find him a better seat,” she defended immediately.

“So now I’m a liar?!” He scoffed, turning back to look at her.

“Fire her!”

“What?!” Gabriella exclaimed immediately, walking up to where they stood.

“I did not even do anything, I was just doing my job!”

“You should have done as you were asked Gab, apologize now and rectify this,” Carl said to her, her ear grew wide as she looked up at him.

“Actually I’m no longer interested in the VIP seat or whatever, I want you to fire her!” He repeated, Carl’s gaze darted quickly in confusion between Jayden whom he definitely cannot say no to, and Gabriella who had only just worked for eight days but was actually an hard worker and could pass for the best concierge they’ve had in months.

“I’m sorry Gab, I can’t say no, you have to leave” He whispered to her.

“Pleas I beg you, you can’t take my job from me, I went through hell to get this one!” She replied immediately.

“I’m really sorry, but he’s a strong voice around here,” Carl replied.

“I’m sorry, you have to leave” Carl repeated. Her shoulders slumped as she looked up at Jayden one more time.

“It’s what you get for disobeying me!” He boasted, a satisfied and wicked grin on his face.

Not a single tear in her face she walked towards her station, picked up all her things and headed for the door, the other concierges just stared at her with pity in their eyes as she headed for the door, once again another staff had fallen victim of the almighty Jayden’s wrath.

Just as Gabriella got to the door, she paused, her left leg coming at attention with her right leg, something spiked deep inside of her and she took a deep breath, she turned around and marched defiantly towards Jayden, her heels clicking heavily against the tile.

Immediately she got to him, she raised her hands and wacked it very hard across his face, a wave of light gasps crossed the lounge as they all held their breath for what was going to come next.

“You know what?! I’ve really wanted to do that!” She whispered, her voice barely above a whisper but heavy with anger.

“You’re just a very opportuned fool! Who has no idea what to do with his father’s money and goes around terrorizing the struggling masses!” She growled.

“How dare you …”

“Hey! Shut the hell up! I’m not done talking, you’re not the boss here neither am I, so you’ll shut the hell up and listen to me!” She snapped as she stepped forward, fearlessly looking deep down into his eyes.

“You’ve done your worst today! My advice for you is to get a life! Stop being a nuisance!”

“If you had a job! You wouldn’t be here at an hotel on Monday morning fussing over a fucking VIP space just to drink and get drunk!”

“Get your fucking miserable life together!” She yelled.

“That’s enough!” Carl said as he grabbed her wrist trying to make her stop but she snatched her hands away from him as she turned to look at him with an irritated scoffed.

“You’re just a coward, like him and the rest of the other nuisance that is enabling this fool and uncultured-“ Before she could complete her statement, his raised his hands in a bit to wack her hard across her cheeks for talking to him that way, but it wasn’t just in him to be violent to women that way, or lay his hands on them. His palm tightened into a fist as he dropped it to his side, it was the first time someone would stand up to him and talk to him that way and he actually didn’t know how to deal with it.

“Watch your mouth!” He growled, his voice resounding like thunder.

“I promise you! I will not just make sure you’re fired here, I’ll make sure you never get the opportunity to have a job anywhere else, as long as you’re still in this country!” He threatened.

She scoffed with a small smile eyeing him contemptuously as she slowly turned to look at him.

“I dare you!” She gritted audaciously a taunting smile on her face.

“I know your type! You’re just bluff!” She said as she turned around and stormed off in anger, all the other staff just stared at her, admiration in their eyes knowing that could never grow the balls to do such.

But Gabriella was wrong, Jayden wasn’t just bluffing

or was he?!!

****

Evening …

6:00pm …

“Sweet baby Jesus!” Jayden gasped as he walked into his room and turned on the lights.

His mother was seated on his beds legs crossed and her hands elegantly resting on her thighs.

“What are you doing in my room and why js everywhere so dark!” He hissed as he walked towards the windows and began to pull everything open.

His mother didn’t utter any statement, her eyes fixed on her image in the mirror infront of her, just as he was done opening the windows, the evening ray of sunshine filtered in adding a dusk glow to the room.

“Don’t scare me like that again,” he muttered as he walked towards her, leaned on the dressing table she was facing, legs crossed and hands around his chest.

She gently picked up her phone beside her on the bed and handed it over to him.

“What’s that!” He grumbled, begrudgingly taking the phone from her.

It was a video, he pressed play and began to watch the video, his eyes went temporarily shut cursing under his breath.

“So what do you plan to do right now, ground me like a child?! Take away my allowance?! Just tell me what you want to do and let’s get this over with!” He replied handing back her phone to her.

“I can see you’ve made up your mind to continually embarrass and soil this family’s name!” His mother - Gina finally said.

“A sex scandal?! What the hell has gotten over you!”

“When did you become so unrecognizable, how did you become so irresponsible and stupid!” She growled, he slowly rubbed his palm in this forehead, frustrated that he was having this conversation with his mother.

“Look Mum, it’s just a sex tape right! It’d die down with time, can we not talk about it right now?! I’ve had a long day and I’m really not in a very good mood,”

“To hell with you and your good moods!” She snapped, standing up from his bed.

“To hell with your bad mood and the long day you had!” She spat angrily again,

“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?! Look I’m tired of cleaning up your mess every time!”

“And now, it’s time for you to man up and take responsible your self!” She yelled.

“Then fine! Go ahead name it, what do you want me to do?!” He asked.

“Since you’re jobless that’s why you have the time to go around doing all these nonsense you do! I’ve decided to make you work as an intern at the company!” He released as loud scoff, unfolding his hands from around his chest as he stood upright.

“Me?! An intern at my own father’s company?!”

“And it doesn’t stop there, I’ve made arrangements with Camilla Rodriguez and she has agreed to marry her daughter to you despite your mess!”

“What?! You want me to marry Isabella?!”

“It’s pretty much what I just said!” Gina retorted,

“And if I don’t?!”

“Get ready to be tagged the black sheep of this family and be disowned! I would never give you any access to me or the family name ever again!”

“Mum! Don’t be ridiculous, Isabella is not even my type!”

“Then make her your type!!” His mother yelled.

“I’m sick and tired of your irresponsible, dirty and irritating behavior!”

“You know what?! This is very insane! I’m not going to do it! Never ! you won’t force me to marry someone I don’t love!” He replied.

“Oh please! Spare me! What do you know about love!”

“No this is a joke, I’m just gonna go and grab a drink, this is actually a joke!” He said repeated as he grabbed his keys from the table and headed for the door.

“If you walk out of that door, you’ve made your decision Jayden and this would be the last time you would have the opportunity to be called my son!” She threatened.

He paused in his tracks and slowly turned to look at her.

“You would disown me because of this?!”

“Dare me!” She snickered, he scoffed loudly shaking his head side to side almost furiously.

“You won’t do shit mum! You’re joking!” He said as he turned around walked out of the room and slammed the door shut behind him.

“Arghhh!” Gina exhaled as she dropped back on the bed.

Dead?!
9:00pm ….Somewhere in Los Angeles ….“Madam!” Gabriella slowly turned to look at her flatmate Jessica who was standing behind her, her hands folded across her chest.Jessica was actually her friend from high school, they went to college together and lived together afterwards. Jessica was actually the daughter of a rich man, but she didn’t see eye to eye on many issues with her father, he always wanted to control and use her for his business purposes and she wouldn’t accept that, so she moved out and came out to live with Gabriella, while still working as a normal staff in her father’s company.She wanted to take over paying bills since she moved in with Gabriella who was sort of struggling, but Gabriella insisted that they pay for all their bills equally and she had no option but to respect her decisions, she didn’t try to throw money at everything, she respected their friendship and didn’t flaunt the fact that she was a rich kid, and they’ve lived peacefully together for the past

You?!
Minutes later …The subtle sound of the burning of dried twigs and leaves, echoed alongside the rhythmic sounds of crickets in the bush, the rhythm they produced were actually quite slow and solemn, like they were aware of the catastrophe that had just taken place there.“Arghh!” Jayden muttered lightly as he supported his body with his elbow and gently pushed himself out of the car, he kept groaning, muttering words of prayers, which he never offered before, as he gently crawled out of the car.Just as soon as he crawled a few feet away from the car, it went off just like a time bomb, the whole car erupting in flames.A tiny tear dropped from Jayden’s eyes as he had a quick moment of reflection, seeing that he escaped death by an hair’s breadth shook him further.He was totally weak, coupled with the alcohol and all of the batter and bruise he had on his body, he was completely sucked out of energy, he gently crawled to a safe distance, gently laid back on the floor and gave into unc

It was not a dream
“You?!” She yelled snatching her hands off him as she stood up immediately.She stepped away from him dusting her hands against each other as she rolled her eyes at him.“Please, help me” he muttered like life had been completely sucked out of him.“And why should I?! Few hours ago, you didn’t exactly do the same for me!” She retorted, Jayden exhaled deeply as he looked up at her.“Please,” he muttered out of breath, “Help me,”She looked away from him slightly annoyed, contemplating on what to do, help him or not!.For what he did to her yesterday she really wanted to leave him there on the road but at the same time, she couldn’t just leave him there like that.She hesitated a little as her gaze finally returned to him, she moved closer to him and squatted in front of him again.“Look, I cannot carry you, you’ll have to walk all the way by yourself!” She said to him sternly.“How far away is your apartment?!” He asked.“Like twenty minutes away,” she answered reluctantly and his eyes

“I had a fight with my mother yesterday’s evening, she threatened to disown me if I walked out of the house,”“I thought it was a joke, so I left, I was so angry I had a few drinks with my cousin and I got drunk”“I got into an accident on my way home yesterday, I thought I had died but thankfully I woke up this morning,”“I found my way back home, and realized that my mom actually disowned me, she wasn’t joking when she threatened to disown me,”“When I saw her this morning, she looked at me with so much disdain and said she wanted to have nothing to do with me,” Jayden paused as he slowly looked up at Gabriella and Jessica.“I don’t have anywhere to go, My cousin too has decided to join her in this and I have no family apart from them!” He concluded.“No friends too?!” Jessica asked and he shook his head.“I don’t have any friends,” he replied.“Well with your character, I’d be surprised if you had any friend” Gabriella muttered rolling her eyes as she sat back in her seat.“Wait,”

Poverty!
Morning, Next day ….Jayden and Gabriella stood with their hands behind them as they stared at their employer in front of them, who in turn stared back at them, an amused look on his face. He stared at them from head to toe as he slowly stood up from his chair and began to walk towards them.Gabriella already knew what he was thinking but she shut her eyes tightly and prayed that he overlooked what he was seeing right now, he slowly looked back up at their faces.“Is this supposed to be a joke?!” He finally bursted out.“Tell me, where did you set up your cameras” he asked taking a look around as if trying to find something.“Is this a prank video for TikTok, is this what is trending now?!” He asked and Gabriella stepped forward, immediately waving her hands.“No sir, trust me, this is not a prank video or anything, we are serious and we really need this job!”“No you’re not, because if you are serious, your brother or whoever this is will not show up to a job interview with pyjamas!”

Living the life
“What took you so long to answer?! You think this is your father’s house and you can just behave anyhow?!” Gabriella asked with a sneer as he walked out of his room.“Won’t I get changed Atleast?” he replied and she rolled her eyes at him.“Won’t I get changed atleast,” she mimicked angrily as she shoved the laundry basket in his hands.“Relax! Why are you always angry?” he muttered but loud enough for her to hear as they walked out of the house.“I don’t know what’s wrong with your family members, why they’re always angry,” she retorted and he chuckled lightly as they walked towards the washing area.***“Arghh, what sort of human is this!” Gabriella sighed angrily as she slowly stood up straight and placed her thumb and index finger on her forehead, using the other three fingers to cover her face frustratingly.“What did I do again?!” Jayden muttered,looking up up at her. His clothes were entirely soaked in water like he was just coming beaten by a really heavy rain.“What have you

Who is your mom ?!
“Julius?!” Julius suddenly looked up at Jayden and so did all of them, shocked to their bones that Jayden knew his name.“Umm, yes?!” Julius replied, the corner of his lips raised as he started at Jayden his eyes depicting uncertainty.“Julius, don’t even pretend like you don’t know me!” Jayden said as he took look strides towards him.Julius took two steps backwards as he looked up at Jayden, “I’m sorry, I don’t,” he replied.“What?! Mom is going to ignore and just throw me out of her life and you would do the same too?!”“Come on, we’re cousins, even if you all decide to throw me out as family, you’re my best friend Julius and the only friend I have!” Jayden muttered but Julius simply just shook his head.“Cousins?!” Gabriella and Jessica gasped simultaneously, their gaze darting between Jayden and Julius.“I’m sorry, I’d like to actually relate to what you’re saying but I can’t, I don’t think I’ve ever met you in my life,” Julius replied and Jayden’s eyes went wide.“You were jus

What the heck
7:00am, Next Morning …..“Congratulations! You can start as soon as possible,” Matthew, the new employer said to them with a small smile, Gabriella’s eye shone in excited as she heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily the first coffee shop Jessica recommended were really short on staff and so it wasn’t so difficult for them to get employed.“Thank you sir, thank you so much sir” Gabriella gushed as she stepped forward and with a grateful smile, elbowed Jayden beside her who just stood with his hands behind him, like he was lost somewhere, far away from where they were right now.He jumped slightly and looked up at Matthew,”Thank you for giving us this opportunity, we promise not to disappoint,” “That’s okay, let me show you to your duty post” Matthew said and led them out of the office.****1:00pm that Afternoon ….Jayden exhaled deeply rubbing his forehead with the back of his hand.“How hard can working in a coffee shop be?!” He had thought when he was about to start, now five hours i

Next day, Morning 5:30 am….“Wake up, wake up Jayden!” Gabriella called, tapping his legs continuously.“Hmm, hmm” Jayden grunted, turning tiredly in bed and still not opening his eyes.“Stand up Jayden,” she said, her voice getting louder as her tap on his leg increased.“Can you just leave me alone!” He grumbled moving his legs from under her touch and rolling over to the other side of the bed.“What do you mean can I just leave you alone?! We have work dude!” She snapped.“Arghhh!” Jayden grunted as he finally sat up on the bed.“My body aches, my muscles are sore,” he muttered, she rolled her eyes at him and hissed slightly.“Stand up and have your bath, you’ll feel much better after that,”“You gym right, selling coffee at a coffee shop shouldn’t make your muscles sore, you’re just very lazy!” She replied as she turned around and walked out of the room.“If you wish, go back to sleep, once you loose your job, I will not be responsible for you!” She added as she walked out of the
