DENISE

"It would seem fate is on our side, dad." I was in a jolly mood that evening.

"What is it? What happened?" He was sitting on one of the sofa, a small console table before him. A big ashtray almost filled with ashes and bottles of beer littered the area.

He was also in a jolly mood, that I could see.

"News just reached me that Hailey's daughter is dead." I grinned, it was a mile-wide stretch.

"Oh. And you're happy because..." His brows furrowed a bit as though he was not getting how that was making me excited.

"She won't have time to come after us. She'll be too busy mourning and crying. No more court nonsense." I said in a 'duh' tone as if I couldn't believe he was not getting the point.

"It's just a temporary distraction, sweet pea. How long do you think she'll mourn? Till eternity? Once she's fine, she's coming back for you again. For us. For the company." He reasoned.

"Oh." My level of excitement drastically reduced.

I was getting his point now. Once she was over the

    "Hello, Mr. President." I stepped majestically into his office, clad in my custom-made cream-colored suit.My pair of burgundy Manolo Blahnik clicked confidently as I reached where the President was. My lip stick was burgundy as well.My black leather purse and my pair of Ray Ban were a wonderful match.Not to mention that I smelled exactly like the interestingly contrasting mix of sweet and strong, adding to my confidence and charm.He stood from behind his desk to give me a handshake.It had not taken long to arrange for this meeting with him, given his relationship with uncle Pete who many still thought was my lover, the President included, he couldn't turn me down."Thank you for making time to see me on such short notice."

    "You must be lying! This is bullshit! I'll advice you to leave my office this minute before I call security." He appeared angry."Do that and I'll have this published in two days, Mr. President." Despite his show of anger, I remained calm. "You don't have an impeccable past and I am sure you damn well know what I am talking about. Were you aware Cecilia was pregnant before you broke up?""I will not answer that question." He gritted."I'm guessing it's a yes." I stared unblinkingly.He soon lowered his lashes, anger and defeat in his eyes. "You're playing a dangerous game, Hailey.""Life is a risk. This way, that way, any way, danger surrounds us all." I shrugged.He heaved a sigh. "How did you find out?""Doesn't matter, Mr. President. The question is why would you abandon your own child?""I..." Another sigh, suddenly, he looked weary. "I didn't mean to. She came to me with the pregnancy but my parents

    As I stepped out of the main building of the White House, I saw some men dressed in black carrying some suspicious looking bags rounding a corner. "What are those?" I asked in a low tone."I have no idea. Daddy said it's nothing to concern myself with." The girl who'd introduced herself as Nina replied. After we'd had our conversation, she had decided to see me off to where my car was parked. She asked a lot of questions about Jared and I'd responded likewise. It was obvious she had a huge crush on him. I almost felt pity for her because I knew Jared would not allow it happen. She was too young. A minor from what she'd told me of her age. Though she was one very beautiful girl with a smart head sitting on her shoulders. "Hm." I averted my eyes when one of the black suits began to give me pointed stares. "Thank you for standing up to my father. I hope he does allow Jared back into the race." Her face fell a little, brown tendrils strayed to her eyes.She pushed them back behind h

    "I've been trying to call you, Hailey. Why haven't you...hey, I'm talking to you." His eyes followed me as I walked past him like he wasn't even there."Mommy." Zion wriggled out of Miss Nancy's hold, and ran to hug me. "Hey, baby." I grinned, stooping to receive him into my arms. "I missed you, mommy." He kissed my cheek, making my heart swell."I missed you too, my baby.""Miss Nancy, take Zion to his playroom, I want to have a minute with Hailey." Uncle Pete instructed a befuddled Miss Nancy who had seen how I'd ignored him.She was probably wondering what had transpired between us. "Good afternoon, uncle." Jared's voice had me turning in surprise to see him carrying a bag. My brows furrowed. "What's with the bag?""Jared!" Zion left my side and ran to Jared's. The latter immediately dropped his bag and lifted him in the air, making Zion giggle so hard. "Hey, champ.""Are you coming to live with us?" Zion asked as soon as he was well positioned on Jared's hip."If you and them

How had she even walked passed us the first time without us seeing her?Except she took a different route as there were many hallways in the house.She seemed to realize herself and blinked, getting rid of tears that had welled to the surface but were yet to fall. "I-I'm sorry for intruding, everyone. I'll clean this up too."With one pained look thrown at guilty uncle Pete's way, she left. What was happening? What did I just witness?

    I stirred awake, my eyes fluttered open. Where was I? I raised myself to a sitting position and saw I was naked.And there was someone beside me. I turned to see that this person had the blankets pulled over their head. It was none other than my husband.I winced a little as my head throbbed. I shook him awake. "Hey, babe. Wake up."He merely stirred but did not wake. "Christian, get up. We slept through the party." I shook him.The door opened just then. "What is going on here?"I faced the door and paled. There was my husband standing on the doorway.Who was this other guy? "What are you doing, Hailey?" There was anger and hurt.I opened my mouth and closed them back, feeling like a fish out of water. I blinked my eyes to be sure I was seeing clearly. I pulled down the blankets and gasped.Fear squeezed tighter, apprehension crept up my spine. I could feel blood drain from my face."You cheated on me?!" Christian's boyish handsome face went taut in derision and betrayal. "N-no, I

    In my haste to make a run for the bathroom, I almost fell flat on my face. I managed to untangle the bedsheet around me and within seconds, I was kneeling before the toilet bowl and puking my guts out."Mrs. Baldwin?" A gentle voice called."Almost done." I replied amidst vomits. My maid, Lisa, waited until I was done. I flushed, then gently stood to go rinse my mouth and wash my hands by the sink."Yes, Lisa?" I turned to her when I was done."Your tea is ready, ma'am. It'll help calm your stomach." She said."Thank you. Where's my husband? Did he return home last night?" I was still weak but my stomach was stable a bit.Christian had not been home last night. Due to my morning sickness and other pregnancy-induced factors, I had been unable to wait for him."I think he's in his room." She commented, following me obediently back into our matrimonial bedroom."In his room? You have no idea if he came into our room last night?" That was new. Why was he in his room?

    "What?!" My voice echoed my shock and confusion.There was also the fear but thankfully that particular emotion was unheard."That will never be possible, Jared! Not while I am alive." Mia swore, then to me, she directed. "You must be so happy, bi..."The glare I gave her had her swallowing the B-word, then she opted for another word. "...fuck you!""I know this is coming as a complete surprise and I...""Here's the maid, Jared." My son walked in just then, followed closely behind by an amused maid.My son had no clue he had just interrupted Jared and I was so glad he had, I didn't want to hear whatever he was saying...or feeling about me.Also, I'd want to know what had that maid looking at my son with a barely suppressed smile on her face."Her name is Violeta.

My boots gave just the right effect, in accordance to my mood. "Baby..."I didn't turn, not even once. Neither did I spare my breathless mother a look once I stepped into the Presidential elevator. She didn't bother to follow me."... I'll keep you updated and..." My father's PA, Rashford, ended the call immediately he spotted me.He had on a look of guilt and slight fear which had me automatically frowning but not really putting it to mind. Though I barely knew the guy, I didn't really like him all that much and avoided him."Good day, Miss Nina." He bowed his greeting.I acknowledged with a curt nod, and kept walking. "If it's the President you're looking for, Miss Nina, he has a guest." He notified me. "Don't talk to me, Rashford. And don't try to stop me either." Finally, I had reached my father's
