Chapter 18“Are you serious right now?” Hayden asked “Do I look like I’m joking?” I huffed.“If you want me to do anything for you, just name it but as far Harvard, I can’t help you with that”“Anything, you say” I smirked and he nodded.“I can’t think of anything right now but if I do, you must do it” I said.“Deal” he affirmed.I packed the dress back in bag smiling. It was when I stood up carrying it I realized Hayden have been staring at me.“Does that mean you are going with me?” He inquired.“What? No. You got the dress for me. It’s impolite not to take it” I shrugged. I really do like the dress and I’m eager to wear it but I can’t let Hayden know that.“I see...” he said staring at me amusedly.[WEEKEND] It was Saturday. I haven’t asked anything from Hayden and that’s because I haven’t really thought of anything. It was past noon and Hayden was in the room already dressed while I’m in the closet struggling to zip up my dress. All my efforts was in vain and I just gave up and
Chapter 19 Towards evening, I was seated alone drinking red wine. Hayden left me to greet some business partners in attendance.The party ended already and I must confess, it was fun but I happen not to like the celebrant.“Hey” I heard a feminine voice behind me.I turned to see Layla. I scoffed and answered. “Oh hi”“Hope you enjoyed the party?” She asked casually and I wish I can scream “we aren’t friends” in her ears.“Yeah” I answered not in the mood to exchange words.She said nothing for a while and then finally sat beside me.“How did you do it?” Was the first question she asked.I furrowed my brows and looked at her questionably.“I mean how did you get Hayden to marry you?” She asked, trying to cover up the anger on her face.“Excuse me?” I faced her.“I believe you heard what I said just now. So tell me how? Hayden isn’t the type to mingle with ladies talk-less of getting married”I smirked. “Let’s just say I captured his heart with my beauty and awesome personality” I tuc
Chapter 20 The next day, I called Tiana and told her about applying to Hilton.“You sure you want it?” She asked.“yeah, I guess”“You aren’t even sure”“I would join you in Harvard next session. I mean, would use it to pass time. I can’t just sit at home all day doing nothing”“Well, it’s good. Your husband is rich so that shouldn’t be a problem” she said and I rolled my eyes.Talking about Hayden, he left for work today and I don’t really care.“Wish me luck” I said.“Goodluck baby”“Thanks. When are you leaving for Harvard?” I asked.“In a week’s time or so”“Awwn baby, I’m going to miss you”“Me too. Let’s hang out before I go”“Sure. Tell Ezra I said hi if you happen to see him”“No problem. Talk to you later”I ended the call and Andy’s message came in. I have been chatting with him since yesterday and he is like really fun to chat with.Though I haven’t seen his picture yet but I feel some sort of connection with him.Later that evening, I logged in to Hilton’s college school’
Chapter 21Britany’s pov Some days later... Tiana and I decided to go to a carnival taking place in town. She is going to college in few days and the carnival was a good idea to hang out.I was at the location already waiting for Tiana. She told me she is on her way and I have been waiting for about 10 minutes.I brought out my phone to call her again. She picked almost immediately.“Where the hell are you?” I asked.“In front of you, dummy!” She said and I looked up to see her coming towards me.My eyes widened to see he had company. It was Ezra.They reached where I am and I think I lost my voice.“Hi Brittany” Ezra said smiling.I didn’t say anything until Tiana tapped me and I lapse back into consciousness.“Oh hi” I said.“I kind of told Ezra I’m hanging out with and he decided to tag along” Tiana explained.“Just want to see you even if it would be for the last time” Ezra said his eyes on the ring in my fourth finger. I moved uncomfortably.“Nice...” I said feeling awkward.“
Chapter 22Brittany’s PovA week later I woke up as early as I can. Surprisedly, Hayden was still sleeping. I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom.After taking my bath, I dressed up in a yellow top and black palazzo. I packed my hair in a ponytail and applied lip gloss to my lips. Once I was done, I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled satisfactory.It is going to be my first day at Hilton college and I need to look good at least. I have done the necessary registration I need to do online. Ezra and Tiana have gone to Harvard and Tiana and I video call everyday since she left.I went back to the room and Hayden was already awake. He greeted me and went to the bathroom.I exit the room and went to the dining. Breakfast was already served and I dig in immediately.I was halfway in eating when Hayden joined me already dressed up.“Let me take you” he offered and I just nodded.We finished breakfast and went out. He opened the door to his Car and I got in the passenger car
Chapter 23*Brittany pov*“So what’s your name?” I decided to ask.“Anderson. But I prefer to be called Andy” he smiled and I just confess, his smile is Cute.“Okay. Nice meeting you too Andy....wait, Andy??” My eyes widened in realization and he smirked.“Wait, are you serious? Like you are the Andy?” I asked finding it hard to believe and he nodded.“How? How come?”“I don’t get” He said.“How are you here? Are you like stalking me?”“Of course not. Just coincidence. I wasn’t expecting to meet you this way also”“Wow” was all I could utter.“I must confess, you look more prettier in person. You made me speechless when I first saw you” he complimented.“Thanks” I said shyly tucking my hair behind my ear.“You don’t look bad yourself” I said and I was serious about that.“Uhh, thanks”“Why didn’t you send me your picture if you are this cute” I utters.“Oh Common. I’m not. You are just trying to make me feel good”“I’m for real”“I hear you” he said and we both look at ourselves silen
Chapter 24HAYDEN’S POV I picked the call and placed it on my ear. Brittany was still looking at me.“Hello” I said my hands shaking slightly.“She’s awake” The doctor said and I jumped off the bed.Brittany seems startled as she got off the bed too.“What’s wrong?” She asked hurriedly.“I...need to go” I said.“Go where? I don’t understand” she utters.I didn’t answer her. I entered the closet and changed into a shirt and trouser. I rushed out of the room and went downstairs immediately.The driver on seeing me walked up to me hurriedly. I didn’t need to tell him anything. He opened the door for me and got in the driver’s seat and drove off immediately.The drive to the hospital was the longest in my life.“Can you just speed up” I told the driver.“It would be dangerous if I do so. We would soon get to the hospital” he said while I just nodded impatiently.We finally got to the hospital and I couldn’t be more grateful.I entered the hospital and met the doctor.“Where is she?” Was
