Jayden checked the time and was surprised. "Wow! I didn't know I could talk this much on the phone, my battery is almost empty"

He felt kind of happy, contented as if he has just won a lottery and he doesn't even know why. He just knew he enjoyed talking to Janet a lot. Although he can't figure out what the bet entails, he guessed that any girl or group of girls that throw themselves at him in the next few days will probably be her friends.

He was thinking of ways to make the bet even more interesting for them, but he could not stop himself from yawning. He was feeling tired from his friends shenanigans at the resort. He wanted to watch the highlights of the news but the feeling of tiredness prevailed and thus he decided to retire to his room.

He stood up from the sofa in his living room, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. He is so used to using one of his two phones to control most of his electrical appliances, but his phone is red, the battery is almost down. He

    Danielle was sleeping in. When she got back home late the night before, she barely made it to her room before she slept off. Danielle went to the club with her friend Mike as soon as she got home from Bernard resort. When the limo dropped her off at home the day before, she stepped in and was about so go check out the latest movies on Netflux when her friend Mike called her and told her he was bored. Mike asked if she could come out to blow off some steam at a new night club that just launched last week. Danielle agreed quickly as she also prefer to dance, have fun and drink than to stay home watching TV. So she quickly took the small elevator to her floor. Danielle went straight to her room, took a quick shower, walked into her closet and changed into a sexy shimmery sequin dress. She put on light makeup as fast as she could, pulled her hair into a quick messy Ponytail and ran out. On her way out, her mom saw her leaving in a hurry. She called out to her but she didn’t seem to he

  • THE BET   Chapter 8 He called back

    Danielle was feeling gloomy and cursing her luck. “I just got his number with so much difficulty only to get blocked” She blamed herself for her present predicament. “If only I didn’t call him impulsively, he is obviously moody in the morning. I should have waited and called later. I was too excited” Sighed. Danielle sat down and was wondering if she should get a new number and call him later or find a way to make him unblock her number. “How do I even get him to unblock my number? I can’t even reach him” She hit her forehead lightly with her fingers. Her face lit up as she thought of an idea, but she quickly cancelled it. “No I can’t use mum’s number, she will grill me about him to death” She faked a shiver. “Oh, I know, I will use the mansion's landline and wish to God that nosy PA doesn’t snitch on me” She was quiet happy with her decision when her phone rang. Her eyes widened like two big saucers “He called back?” Danielle was so happy she made a victory gesture “Yess!” She qui

After that, I will give you the full gist"Tokunbo looked at her clever friend with a sad smile while shaking her head. "Okay you win".Sigh. Bibiana gave Janet a thumbs up as Tokunbo made her way to the bathroom.The three girls made their way to the kitchen to warm up the food.

    Janet was thinking of just getting a cab. As it will be a bit troublesome to enter regular transportation from Bibiana's house to her house. But Danielle insisted that she will go drop her off. Janet was refusing profusely because she knew that at this time of the day, weekend or not the traffic will still be hectic and annoying. It will take Danielle hours to and from her house. She will definitely get home late.So at the end, after a lot of back and forth, they both agreed that Danielle will drive them to her house which is not far. Then she will assign one of the drivers to go drop off Janet and then bring the car back. Settled, they left Bibiana's apartment building together.Danielle was curious about the whole chat thing, so she couldn't help but ask Janet about it.Janet looked at Danielle with amusement in her eyes "Dee curiosity kills the cat, there wasn't really anything serious in the chats, it's just about the weekend, work and life in general, a bit about politics, the e

  • THE BET   Chapter 12 He Kissed Me

    Janet was shaken by his question. Her heart was beating too fast and she doesn't know what to say. She looked at his lips and then his eyes. Her heartbeat is erratic at this point. She swallowed her saliva nervously."It's okay to say No, you know""I....uhmmm...I ..mean..."Jayden looks into her eyes, he is shocked that at her age, she is so flustered by him asking if he could kiss her. It did something to him that he can't quite understand. He bent his head further."Can I""Hmmm"Jayden smiled so deeply, she saw his dimples fully and her head was mush. He bent his head and claimed her lips. The kiss was gentle, slow, almost like he is tasting her and allowing her to get used to his mouth on hers. He kissed her lower lips and then upper lips, he heard her gasp and was about to deepen the kiss when he heard."Boss, oh my, I am so sorry..." And he looks up, to just hear footsteps of one of the employees almost running away from the scene.Janet felt as if someone just woke her up, she

    "Oh come on, I know you have been chatting and calling my friend. Give a sister a chance here please""Just for today, and we will see where it goes?""What do you say?""It's not fair that you didn't even want to give me a chance at all, knowing about the bet and all that""Pretty please" *puppy eyes emoji*Danielle noticed that even though the messages were sent, it wasn't delivered.She couldn't believe that she is fawning over a man this much. She is not used to it. Men are always attracted to her, Jayden is the first to say no to her. And even though she is anonymous right now, he is still shading her.Danielle was thinking out loud "Did he turn off his phone? Or blocked me? Nah! If he blocked me, I wouldn't even be able to send him messages. That means I still have a chance. I will wait till tomorrow and call him"After she made her decision, she turned on the smart TV in her room to watch a few episodes of her favourite heist series. And dozed off half way.Jayden woke up and w

    Jayden got to the office around 9:40am, as he walked in, all the employees greeted him respectfully as he made his way upstairs to his office. His secretary greeted him and followed him inside as she read his itinerary for the day.When she was done, Jayden cancelled some appointments and rescheduled others. Then he asked her if any of his friends came to the office this morning."Sorry sir, I almost forgot, Mr Deji is waiting in the VIP lounge, he got here about 10 minutes ago"Jayden wasn't surprised "Okay, bring my coffee to the lounge""Yes sir"Jayden made his way to the lounge, that also serves as awaiting area for important clients. The VIP lounge is not far from his office. Close enough to create a sense of importance for the clients but far enough to seclude the clients from the happenings within the company while they wait.He opened the door and stepped in "Deji, you even got here before me today? Are you planning to acquire my company or something?"Deji shaking his head a

    Three months later "Jay Jay, you have always been beautiful, but now you are simply stunning. Jayden won't be able to take his eyes off of you today" Janet smiled as she looks at her reflection in the large mirror "You think?" "Of course and Jay Jay your wedding dress is to die for. Jayden is so attentive. Your baby bump is not showing at all. Sigh. You know what I did last night?" Bibiana smiled as she finally managed to push Douglas out of the doorway of the presidential suite and close the door. "What did you do?" Janet raised her brow. "I held a ring and told David to hold it the same way. He did and I slipped my finger inside. I pretended to be surprised and started shouting I do I do I do." Janet and Bibiana couldn't stop laughing. "Toks, David is smitten, if not, with all of your antics. He would have japa from you by now" Bibiana smiled mischievously "I agree with Jay Jay. What did he say though?" "He said he is not ready for marriage" "Aww. It's okay. He will event

    "Are you sure you don't know who it was that is the mastermind behind your kidnapping?"Janet smiled and nodded her head "Yes sir, I don't know the men. I saw them for the first time that day. And I don't know who asked them to kidnap me either""You do know Danielle Savage right?"Janet clutched her gown tightly but her facial expressions didn't change at all "Yes. She is my friend""Is she in anyway involved? Or do you suspect her?"Janet shook her head "No, she is my best friend. She didn't do anything"The Police Officer in charge of the investigation looked at Janet thoughtfully, he asked her the same question several times already and she kept saying the same thing. 'Mr Jayden said it was Senator Savage's daughter, but if she is not saying anything there is nothing he could do about it.' he sighed "Okay. I will file your statement. However if you remember anything later, you can come at anytime or call me, okay?" "Okay, thank you""You are welcome. You may leave"Jayden was on

    "Remember, try to control your emotions. We will tell them everything some other time. It's okay to be sad when talking to them they will just think you are missing them. But they will suspect something is off if you cry. I can't put this off anymore so be ready"Janet nodded."It's ringing"Janet's mom picked up "Hello""Hello mom, I was able to finally drag your daughter away from her office. I didn't know she was such a workaholic"Mrs Desmond laughed "She is a workaholic. She always bring work home.

She also likes working""Here she is ma""Hello mom""Janet how are you?""I am fine, how is everyone doing?""We are all fine. What's wrong with you?

    "Yes Dee. I told you about him right? You didn't believe me. First you went home with your dad and then you went to Ajah where you kept her. Is that not where you answered my call while lying to me that you were locked up at home. Then you left after you entered the building. You saw us at Jericho right? Then you ran away because you did not want us to know that you were not at home. You even went to my neighborhood before that time" Danielle was completely pale as she stare at Bibiana in shock. 'They knew all along?' Tokunbo was disgusted "With friends like you, why would anyone need enemies!" Danielle got angry when she heard what Tokunbo said and screamed "Yes I did it!" Janet already knew but she still trembled in Jayden's arms as she finally heard her admit it. In a shaky voice she pulled Danielle away from Tokunbo and asked "Why?" Danielle felt guilty initially but right now she was mad that everyone is throwing accusations at her. Regardless of whether she did it or not, sh

    Janet looked at Danielle with a bit of disappointment in her eyes and continued. " That room was adequately stocked, If I wasn't alone I would have thought I was in Small Sister's house. You know what the funny thing was? Me thinking you were kidnapped along with me and was probably in another room similar to mine. That's the only explanation I could come up with at first. Because you called me and the ring tone woke me up, then I heard your voice at the door. I was so worried that they kidnapped you first and forced you to lure me to the door." Janet chuckled self derisively and continued "The phone was useless because there was no signal. I tried calling Jayden several times, but it was useless. But when I later watched the video..."Danielle can't stop thinking what video was it that she keeps talking about "What video Jay Jay? I didn't do anything"Janet didn't say anything and stood up to look for her phone, when she checked the bed and can't find it, she was contemplating askin

    The doctor completed her examination and stepped out of the guestroom. She frowned her face and asked "Jayden have you called the police?""They are aware. They told me she can come and give her statement tomorrow when she is better" "Okay, because I noticed that she is suffering from either PTSD or shock, she is not responding to any of my questions. She is fine, but she has few bruises. No sign of rape or any extreme bruise caused by blunt force trauma. The bruises she got are probably from been carried roughly."Everyone sighed in relief. "But..."Everyone turned to the doctor anxiously. "Relax it's not a bad thing. Although I can't be affirmative, but I am almost sure that she is pregnant""Pregnant?" Bibiana almost screamed.Everyone was dumbfounded especially Jayden. 'Pregnant?' "Yes. I am not 100 percent sure. I have drawn her blood. We can only be sure after proper tests are carried out. I will try and also check for traces of the drug they used on her."The doctor handed J

    "I don't think it's okay to move her around too much until the doctor gives her a full check up" Tokunbo nodded "Yes I agree with Bee, let's wait until she is awake. Bode called the doctor that will check for trauma right? Let him come, by then the cleaners we sent to her house would have finished cleaning. Then we can decide if she needs to go to the hospital or home." Jayden was still looking at Janet's face intently. "Alright" They all went back to the sitting room. Bibiana saw how relieved everyone was now that Janet has been found. "What do you guys want to eat?" "Noth..." "Nothing" "Anything" Bibiana looked at Deji, Bode, and David with amusement in her eyes. Deji and David looked at Bode and shook their heads. "Don't mind him, we just ate. We were at Nuban when Tokunbo called" "Deji, I didn't get to eat anything. I was on the phone throughout remember?" David sneered "Shameless!" "What? I just got my appetite back. Jayden didn't eat either." Bode looked aggrieved.

    "Deji can I borrow your car?" Deji looked at Bibiana, then his precious Brabis, then Bibiana again. He shook his head and reluctantly gave her the key to the Brabis. Bibiana collected the key and turn to Tokunbo "Tokunbo let's go" Tokunbo that was still frightened after seeing two dead bodies was shaking like a leaf in David's arms. David held her and guided her to the passenger seat. He helped her fasten the seat belt and told them to drive carefully. Bode and the boys got into Jayden's car and also drove off. Tokunbo still trembling a bit looked at Bibiana and in a shaky voice said "Bee, I have not seen a dead body that close before and not that mangled. I am going to have nightmares for the next few days" Bibiana smiled bitterly "I am just thankful that none of them is a female" "Bee, are you also convinced that Danielle did it?" "I wasn't at first, but how do we explain this Toks? She came here and suddenly the building is on fire and now there are dead bodies. What sort

    Bibiana doesn't know what to think at this point. She stared at her phone then at Jayden and somehow unconvincingly said "She didn't do it guys" Jayden snorted "You believed that?" "I don't know Jayden. But Dee will never harm Janet. Trust me." "She clearly was acting. Nothing about that was natural" Deji shakes his head. Bode sighed "Everyone in our circle knew that when lil princess Danielle wants something. Then she gets what she wants. You are one of her closest friends, you should know that much." "I know her so well and that's why I am finding it hard to believe that she will kidnap someone and Janet for that matter. Trust me Danielle genuinely loves Jay Jay." "If she loves Jay Jay she won't be trying to covet her boyfriend." Deji sneered. Bibiana frowned "She is obsessed with Jayden I agree, but to actually go this far? I don't know, a part of me does not trust anything she said just now but the other part of me can't believe that she will stoop to that level." Jayden wa
