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

I’m fine” she said and I kissed her forehead.“I thought I lost you” I said.“You can’t” she utters with a smile.“What happened?” She asked and I explained everything to her.“I never knew she hated me” she said.“Me too. I fired the rest of the maids”“Wait, what?”“If nana can plot to kill you, we don’t know what the rest have in mind” I explained and she nodded in understanding.“I badly want to see that Nana and give her the beatings of her life” she gritted her teeth.“She is in the custody of the police. Don’t worry. She would get the punishment she deserves”“She better” “When will I be discharged?” She asked.“This evening”“Thank Goodness” she utters and shifted to my side resting on my chest.“Wha
Chapter 47LAYLA’S POV“That wasn’t part of the plan, what’s wrong with you?” Heidi shouted at me when I told her about my visit to Hayden’s house”“I just couldn’t control myself. I have to tell him how I feel.”“Now where has it led you to? No where” she said shaking her head in disappointment.“He doesn’t love me” I utters.“Thought you knew that” Heidi said and I eyed her.“It just hurts hearing him say that”Heidi came to sit beside me and held my hand.“I know you get whatever you want. I know you to be the type that never gives up. But Hayden is married and is clearly deeply in love with his wife. Okay, let’s look at it this way. Our initial plan of hurting Brittany if you hadn’t gone to Hayden’s house and confessed to him ruining everything, if we have succeeded, that doesn’t still guarantee Hayden loving you” she said and surprisedly, what she said made sense.“And I think what Hayden said about you been obsessed with him is true”I looked at her and she looked away scared of
Chapter 46HAYDEN’S POVTWO DAYS LATER...Brittany haven’t woken up neither was I allowed to see her and it’s really frustrating. The doctor kept on assuring me she would be fine but I’m not seeing any improvement.I just left the hospital after talking to the doctor and he said they are trying their best to treat her. I’m currently at home.My phone started ringing. It was Layla. I contemplated whether to pick it or not and finally did when it was about to finish ringing and muttered a silent “hello”“Hey Hayden, i’m in front of your house. Inform your gatekeeper to let me in”“My house. What are you doing here?”“Aren’t we friends again. Common”I dropped the call and called the gatekeeper to allow her in.She entered shortly and looked around the living room and finally at me who was siting on the couch.“Sorry for the impromptu meeting. Came to check up on you since you haven’t been at work for two days now” she said coming to sit on the couch beside me.“Took some days off”“Whe
Chapter 45LAYLA’S POV “It seems hard! It just seem hard and it’s so annoying” I complained to Heidi.I’m currently in her apartment because I badly need someone to talk to. “Brittany isn’t so easy to handle. She is rude. She talks back and I won’t lie, she scares me” I said frowning.“You are still close with Hayden right? Why don’t you sleep with him and make sure you get pregnant and pin it on him” Heidi suggested.“Easier said than done. This guy doesn’t even look at me. Doesn’t give me the chance to get close to him. It seems that stupid Brittany bewitched him” I gritted my teeth.Heidi looks at me. “Why don’t you just give up. There are other men outside who you can get at a snap of a finger. Why are you still chasing after Hayden if he doesn’t love you”I gave her a look. “Really? I thought you could come up with a solution. Coming here was a bad idea” I uttered and made to carry my bag and leave but Heidi stopped me.“Calm down baby. I didn’t mean that” she said and I roll
Chapter 44BRITTANY’S POV (Some days later...) “But Hayden, it’s too expensive” I said.“It’s not, nothing is too expensive to get for you” he uttered.We are currently at a boutique shopping for clothes. Hayden spotted a gown worth a thousand dollars and insisted on getting it for me. It’s worth the prize but I still find it too expensive.“But...”He cuts me off. “No complains. Go try it on” he said pushing me into the dressing room.“Fine!” I raised my hand up in surrender and entered the dressing room.After 10 minutes, I finally came out. Hayden was seated already, his phone is his hand.“Hayden” I called nervously and he raised his head up to look at me.“Wow” he utters and walked up to me.“Red is definitely your color” he complimented.It’s an armless red gown with diamond stones on it.“It looks good on you. “ he said and I blushed. You are definitely taking it and you are not saying no” He added“I hear you, Mr Wyatt” I snickered, a smile on my face. We ended up with five
Chapter 43BRITTANY’S POV Walking away from the elevator, I couldn’t help but think about Layla words. How come she works here and I never got to know about it. And Hayden didn’t tell me about it.“You never asked” my sub conscious said.I decided not to think about her words. Not like she can do anything.I got to his office and met with the secretary.“Where is your boss?”“In a meeting” She answered without looking at me.I said nothing and walked towards the direction of his office.She stopped me before I could enter.“I’m sorry. Who are you?” She asked.“His wife” I answered.She looked at me as if observing my face.“I’m sorry but you would have to wait here till he is done” she said.“I just told you I’m his wife” I rolled my eyes.“I have to do my job”“Then get ready to find a new one” I said.Her eyes widened in fear. “I’m sorry. So so sorry. You can enter” she rushed her words and I smirked.“Good” I said and entered the office.It was big and of course spacious. I walke
Chapter 42*BRITTANY’S POV* I woke up in Hayden’s arms and a smile appeared on my face. I remembered last night. I can’t believe I actually did give Hayden my virginity.“What’s my beautiful wife thinking about this early morning?” I heard Hayden’s voice and I raised my head up a bit to see him staring at me.“Last night” I replied biting my lower lip. “Can’t stop thinking about it too” he said making my heart skip a bit. I gulped down nothing and made to stand up from the bed but Hayden drags me back making me land on his chest.“Where to?” He asked.“I need to prepare for school and you should prepare for work also” I said.“I don’t get a morning kiss?”“I haven’t brush” I rolled my eyes.“I don’t care”He made to kiss me but I turned my neck and hurriedly rushed to the bathroom laughing.I am still feeling slight pains beneath my legs but it wasn’t as severe as yesterday night. After having my bath, I dressed up and Hayden went to the bathroom for his bath.I was in the bedroom
