MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 11
“Look dad, she is my girlfriend and I love her”.Matilda looked at Jaden in bewilderment, her eyes almost popping out of the socket from hearing Jaden's words.She has never been in a romantic relationship before, no one has ever asked her out even in high school or college. So, hearing Jaden say he loved her, gave her butterflies in her stomach even if she knew it was all fake.“You love this woman? Your secretary?”“Yes dad, I do”.Jaden's next action was something no one would have predicted. He went over to where Matilda was, and held her hands.It felt like cold shivers ran down her spine, as she felt his hands envelope hers. He dragged her close to his body, to assure his father that they were a real thing.Jaden put on a fake smile, and nudged Matilda. He spoke through gritted teeth while smiling.“Smile Matilda, smile”.Matilda immediately wore her “this is my best smile” type of smile. She wished there was a mirror around, to see how she looked right now, with the fake smile

“Did you just slap me?”Jaden placed his hands on his face, his eyes blazing with fire. His voice sounded like thunder.Matilda's lips trembled, she could not believe what she just did. Her hands were shaking.“Sir..sir I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. It's just that, you can't just kiss me whenever you want to”.Jaden grabbed her by her arms again, his hands were almost penetrating her skin. Matilda winced in pain, a tear escaped her eyes.“I can kiss you and touch you whenever I like, the contract never said otherwise. Now clean those tears and get into the car. Am I clear?”His voice bellowed in the dark, the light of the night penetrating his eyes which made them glow.Matilda could not speak, she cried silently. Jaden let go off her arm, and went into the car. The tears gathering up in her eyes, made her vision blur. She struggled to get to the car, and as she was walking, she accidentally stepped on her dress and it got torn.She got into the car and Jaden did not bot

“How dare you talk back to me? I ordered you to change my coffee and you're questioning me!”Tiana raised her hands in an attempt to slap Matilda, Jaden came in and held her hands.She tried to free herself, but Jaden's grip did not allow her to.“Look Tiana, this is an official business meeting. You will respect yourself or leave this place, now!”.Jaden's words felt like a spear, piercing through Tiana's heart. She could not believe he would speak to her in such a manner, in the presence of everyone seated.“This is uncalled for, such an act of insolence!”A board member made this remark, and Tiana glanced at the member terribly.“No one asked for your opinion here Mr, just mind your business and shut your…”Jaden immediately took Tiana's hand and dragged her out of the room.“What has come over you Tiana? What disrespectful stunt did you just pull there?”Jaden's eyes looked like it was shooting out lasers, his eyebrows arched and his jaw twitching as he spoke.Tiana rolled her eye

Matilda was retreating backwards, she hit her feet against a recycle bin and fell on her back. She held out her hands.“Don't come near me, stay away from me!”The man with the dirty clothes, bushy hair and marks all over his body began to approach Matilda slowly.“No miss, I'm not going to hurt you. I just wanted to…I wanted to ask if you could give me anything to eat”.The old man demonstrated putting food in his mouth, with a sad face. He looked so lean and tired.Matilda got up and cleaned her body, she looked at the old man and felt pity for him.“I'm so sorry sir, I shouldn't have lashed out that way. I'm sorry”.“It's fine, miss, I understand”.Matilda smiled at the man and he returned the smile, his golden yellow teeth were visible this time around.“Let's go to the convenience store over there, sir”.Matilda led the way and the old man followed behind her.*******************Jaden wore his jogger, put on his slides and took his car key. He ran down the stairs, and at the sam

Tom poked Tiana's side as he laughed very hard.“Your facial expression says it all, you like that, huh?”Tiana's face was still red from what she saw on his phone, she tossed the phone back to him and sipped out of her drink.“How did you even know it was a woman I wanted to deal with?“I can see through women”Tiana rolled her eyes at him and scoffed.“Oh please, shut up”.“So, do you want that? I'm a very busy man, so make your decision quickly".Tiana laughed at him mockingly, she glanced at him in a terrible way.“You mean busy drinking? Oh please, spare me the joke. I'll think about it and get back to you”.Tom shrugged and took another drag from his cigar, he leaned in and tried to kiss Tiana this time.“Behave yourself Tom, can't you see we're in public?”Tiana pushed him in his chest, and he slumped in his chair and laughed again.“Don't you miss me, princess?”Tom said mockingly in Tiana's father's voice.“How dare you?”Tiana smacked him on his hand, but he held her hands t

Matilda's gaze moved to Jaden, from her dress to his face. She could not believe what she just heard, Jaden declared her his girlfriend publicly.He held her hands and made her come in front of him, to greet the manager. She shook hands with him and put on her fake smile.Matilda was not very comfortable with the dress, so she kept dragging it up to cover her cleavage. Jaden noticed and beaconed on the staff to take Matilda back to the changing room.Jaden dismissed the manager and went back to sit. For some weird reason, he looked forward to seeing Matilda in other beautiful dresses. He admitted in his heart, that she was stunning.Matilda came out in another dress, this one was exposing her thigh and she kept crossing her legs to cover them. Jaden swallowed as he kept looking at her from her head to her toe, he liked the dress and told the staff to pick that one too.The testing of dresses continued for close to an hour and Matilda already tried over 30 dresses.She was exhausted w

Tom took another drag of his cigar as he stood up from his bed and faced Tiana. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Tiana hesitated a little, she was a little bit scared of what she was about to do. But she pushed it at the back of her mind, as she was determined. “Yes, I am. I am ready”. Tom nodded his head and smiled at Tiana, he offered her a cigar but she threw it on the floor and rolled her eyes at him. “Now, all we need is a plan Tiana. First off, I'll look for a competent guy that can…” Tiana cut him off as she put her hands on her ear in a dramatic manner, like she could not hear him. “You said what? What dude? You are the one that is going to do this for me, I don't want anyone else!”. Tiana stomped her feet on the ground and stared at Tom with her wild eyes. “I can't Tiana, I've been to jail before I don't ever want to go back there. What if I get caught at the end?” Tom turned his back on Tiana, he ran his hands through his hair as the memories of him being in pris

“So, it's your company now, dad? Huh? After all my toiling for years, for the company, you dare say that to me?!”“Do not raise your voice at your father, young man!”Mr Brooks stood up and faced Jaden, both of their eyes shooting out fire. The room was tense and one could hear Jaden's breath.“I only do this because of the promise I made to your mother, I must keep the promise I made to your moth…”.Jaden took the frame beside him and smashed it on the wall, he was breathing heavily with his chest moving up and down simultaneously.“ Stop bringing up mum in every conversation we have, stop it!”.Mr Brooks face became filled with pity, he looked at his son and his heart sank. He never liked to see his son that way.He moved closer to Jaden and wanted to wrap his hands around him, but Jaden pushed his hands away. Hot tears were streaming down Jaden's face, as he stared at his father with intense anger.“I'm sorry, son. I never bring up your mother to intentionally hurt you. Whenever I

Jaden dropped his phone on the bed and walked to where she stood. He took the dress from her and looked at it.He shook his head and threw the dress on the bed, he picked up his phone and started to punch some letters.Matilda just stood there, folded her arms and was looking at him. She removed the hairband from her hair and tied her hair again.“Yes, that's the room”He said that and dropped his phone on the bed again, put his hands in his pocket and stared at the dresses that were scattered on the bed.“Pack those, they are coming to try new dresses on you”Matilda squinted her eyes, she paused her lips and untangled her hands. “They? Who are those?”Jaden blew dust off the portrait that was standing next to him, and used his thumb to wipe it. He looked at Matilda and smirked, as he blew the dust off his fingers.“You will see when they get here”He walked to the dressing table and leaned on it, crossed his legs in front of him and put his hands in his pocket.He shook his legs an

Matilda gasped and withdrew her hand, she turned facing the ceiling up and not taking her eyes off it.It was all dark, but she could feel Jaden staring at her. He moved and she couldn't predict the position he was moving to, she was not looking at him.Jaden groaned as he stretched his body, he relaxed himself and was also staring at the ceiling.He moved and turned on his left, resting on the grip of his arm as he stared at Matilda in the dark. He moved closer to her, moving his body swiftly on the bed and pushing the duvet aside as he moved closer to her.Matilda could feel his breath on her face as he moved closer, she also moved a bit but if she moved one more time, she would meet herself on the wooden floor.He stopped moving when he was closer to her face now, their breaths intertwining with each other's.Matilda's eyes moved without her will, and stared at the young man that was in front of her. In the dark, she could see his face up close, the way his eyes moved and of course

Jaden pulled her away from his body and she also hit her head on the couch. He got up immediately and was adjusting his shirt, also scratching his head.Matilda rubbed her eyes, trying to get a clear vision as the sleep was still making her drowsy. She didn't understand what Jaden was trying to do.“I was just trying to help out because you were dozing off on the couch”Matilda still did not get it, but she nodded and sat still. Jaden went to the bed and drew out a big duvet, he proceeded to spread it on the bare floor.“You can have the bed, I'll sleep on the floor”Matilda got up and put her hands in front of her, waving it as she was shaking her head in disagreement.“No sir, no. I…I can actually sleep on the couch while you can sleep on the bed”Jaden is a very stubborn person, he hardly listened to anyone when he had made up his mind.And the last thing he would want was to make Matilda uncomfortable. He couldn't let her sleep on the floor or even on the couch.He took two pillow

Tom took a long drag from his cigar and closed his eyes as he released the smoke into the air.His room was filled with loud music, coming from his bluetooth speaker, and he was moving his head to the rhythm of the beat.A call in through his phone, he put off the music and then picked up his phone. He closed his eyes and sighed when he saw who the caller was.“What is it this time, Tiana?”“What's with that irritating tone of yours?”Tiana squinted her eyes and her face, like she had just seen the most disgusting thing in her life.Tom ran his hands through his hair and took a drag from his cigar, and he dropped it on the ashtray.“Just say what you want to say, Tiana”She rolled her eyes and sat on her bed, crossed her legs and cleared her throat.“I'm meeting with Matilda soon, so be prepared. This time, for real”“I hope so”“What do you mean by that?”Tiana was already getting irritated, anger was was beginning to rise on her inside. Tom could sense it from her tone, and the last

The car came to a halt as Jaden stepped on the brakes with so much force, causing Matilda to jerk forward.She almost banged her head on the dashboard, but the seatbelt saved her in that process.Matilda gasped with her mouth wide open and her hair all over her face. She put her hand on her chest, and was breathing very heavily. She looked like she had just seen a ghost, she froze and could not move.Jaden was not moved, he still held the steering wheel and was looking at her, waiting for her response.“Why did you do that?!”Matilda half yelled as she turned towards Jaden, her voice cracked and tears were gathering up in her eyes.She was scared, her hands were shaking and tears were falling from her face without control.Jaden's heart sank, he wasn't expecting her to act that way, he never meant to hurt her…he was just angry.“I didn't mean to, I…are you okay?”He leaned towards her, with his hands stretched to touch her. But he withdrew his hands as he was about to come in contact
MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 66
Jaden took a pink jacket from one of the racks, and placed it close to his shoulders, trying to imagine how Matilda's shoulders are.He placed it back on the rack, after concluding it would be too big for her. He ended up going for a black jacket, which would suit Matilda according to his own knowledge.Matilda saw him coming through the door, and she immediately adjusted his phone back to where she took it from. The air conditioning in the car was working well, but beads of sweat were gathering up on her forehead. He came into the car but Matilda was looking straight ahead all through.Jaden handed the bag to her, but she was not even looking at him. He looked straight ahead to follow her gaze and see what she was looking at, but he didn't see anything.“Matilda, are you okay?”With a weird smile on her face, she looked at him and kept nodding her head. He handed the bag to her again, and she took it .“Thank you, sir”Jaden squinted his eyes as he tried to figure out why she was ac

Matilda kissed Niki for the 5th time that morning. The little young man was not in for all that lovey dovey, he just wanted to have some more sleep.He grunted and moved in his sleep, muttering words no human could understand under his breath. He was not plugged to any machines anymore, because he was feeling better.Matilda chuckled and caressed his cheeks, Diane stood next to her itching her eyes and yawning; holding Matilda's travelling box.She kept staggering while she stood there, the power of sleep was overpowering her. She rubbed her eyes occasionally, to prevent herself from sleeping or maybe fall while dozing off.“Hmmm?”Diane grunted and opened her eyes, when she felt a gentle touch on her hand. She was already fast asleep while standing.Matilda laughed and covered her mouth, to prevent waking Niki up. She held her stomach and squatted, still laughing so hard.“It's not that funny”“Oh it is. I should have opened my Snapchat and kept a memory of this”“You wouldn't dare”

The thunderstorm grew heavier, the tapping sound of the raindrops on the window were so loud.Jaden held the baton with a firm grip, his veins were already popping out from his hands.The shadow moved towards the light switch, and Jaden moved forward but not very close, still trying to figure out who it was in the dark of the night.The brightness from the light made Jaden look away and closed his eyes, he let out a groan as the light penetrated into his eyes.A few seconds had already passed, before Jaden finally opened his eyes. His vision was still blurry, but he could see who the stranger was.Jaden sighed and shook his head, he dropped the baton and ran his hands through his hair.“Dad, really? I thought someone broke into the house. When did you get back?”Mr Brooks chuckled and with his hands behind his back, he walked to where Jaden stood and placed his hand on his shoulder.“You miss your old man that much, huh?”Jaden slightly brushed his father's hands off his shoulder at t

Tom dodged the throw and after a few seconds he winced in pain, he sucked in breath and closed his eyes.He placed his right hand over his face where the glass went past, feeling a jelly like liquid in between his fingers.Tom pulled his hand away from his face slowly, like he was being controlled. He looked at his hand, to see what that liquid was.It was just his sweat, he sighed and closed his eyes, he thought he had gotten injured from Tiana throwing a glass at him.Tiana's hands were shaking where she stood, the whole anger in her had evaporated at the thought of her injuring Tom with a broken glass.“Tom, are you okay? I'm so sorry”Tiana ran over to him, checking him from his head to his toe. She took his face in her hands, searching and turning his face in different directions.He removed her hands from his face, and pushed it away. Tiana gasped, she wasn't expecting him to do that, she could see the fury in his eyes.“What is wrong with you, Tiana?”Tom stared at her for a lo
