Chapter 27BRITTANY’S POV“Brittany, Brittany” “Brittany!” The voice yelled more louder this time around and I flinch almost falling off my seat and turned to face Andy and Brenda’s curious eyes on me. “What’s It?” I asked.“What the heck is wrong with you? You have zoned out ever since we got here(the school’s eatery) and I noticed you have been pale and seems to be in thought ever since you came to school” Brenda said.“Good job on observing me miss Brenda” I said sarcastically.“It’s not funny” Brenda utters dryly. “What’s wrong with you? You don’t look fine” “I’m fine. Just...thinking!” I breathed out and my eyes met with Andy’s who has been looking at me quietly.“You are not fine, talk to us. Or are you feeling uncomfortable because Andy is here? I can tell him to leave” Brenda said and Andy gave her a look.“I’m fine. For real” I forced a smile but truth is, I’m not. I have been thinking about last night and this morning. Hayden is all over my head and it’s driving me nuts.
Chapter 28BRITTANY’S POV“He’s hitting you?” I asked in shock.My mom said nothing.“Answer me, mom!”“I...discovered he was cheating and confronted him about it but...he slapped me. He was angry and I won’t blame him”“Mom!” I shook my head disappointedly. “He hits you and you are still defending him. Really, mom?”She just bowed down her head.“How long have he been doing it?” I asked.“Brittany. It doesn’t matter. What...”I interrupted. “Just let me know”“Before you got married” she said and my eyes widened at the realization. So he do hit her while I was still under their roof and I knew nothing about it. My mom really did a great job in covering it up.“Are you kidding me! And you are still with him”“Brittany, he only does it when I annoy him”“He is cheating on you, mom”“He will change”“Mom!!”I can’t believe she is saying this right now. “You do know domestic violence is a crime right?” I told her.“It is But this is a different situation”“How is it different??”“Brittan
Chapter 29HAYDEN’S POV Immediately the call dropped, Brittany comes in. She looks at me shocked probably not expecting to see me at home.“You are home early” she uttered and I nodded.“I went to visit my mom after I was done with today’s lecture” she explained and I raised a brow. Brittany wasn’t the type to tell me her whereabouts.“Erm” she says as if thinking of what to say.“I’m going upstairs now” she said and left. I furrowed my brows. Why is she suddenly acting weird.I stayed in the living room and she didn’t come back either.It was getting late. I checked the time and it was past 7. I stood up and walked to the bedroom. I slowly opened the door and entered. Brittany was lying on the bed, her back facing the ceiling.I walked towards the bed and sat on it.“Are you okay?” I asked and she turns to look at me. “Yeah, just thinking” she replied a bit silently.“Wanna talk about it?”“It’s nothing serious” she simply said.I was about talking but the sound of a ringing tone
Chapter 30*BRITTANY’S POV* Three days later...I woke up with a slight pain around my abdomen. I got off the bed and found Hayden sleeping peacefully.To my horror, a part of the duvet was stained with blood. I quickly got off the bed and the shorts I wore was stained too. Argh, this is so embarrassing.I used to get a sign like three days to the day I’m going to see my period and prepare ahead but I didn’t get any sign. Hayden must not see this. He would think I’m disgusting. I moan painfully when the pain came again. The part of the duvet was on Hayden. I just have to take it and wash it and myself before he wakes up. It was still midnight and there was 40% chance he won’t wake up. I successfully removed the duvet and was walking to the bathroom when I heard my name. “Brittany”I cursed under my breath and turned to see Hayden looking at me. My cheek turned red due to embarrassment. He stood up and walked towards me my heart banging hard against my chest and for a moment, the
Chapter 31LAYLA’S POV It was my first day of work. I’m really excited. Incase you are wondering, of course I passed the interview. I have all the qualifications and definitely can’t be denied access to work in the company.Tho I would have preferred it if I was close to Hayden. Like being his assistant or secretary but baby steps.For now, I just have to do my work and then proceeds to my plan.After settling in my office which was in my horror not near to Hayden’s own at all, I sat down and arranged the file given to me.“This is just so crazy!, why can’t I get an office near to him” I said to myself.****NOON) I knocked on his office’s door.“Come in” I heard him say and I opened the door and entered closing the door behind me.He looked up and was surprised to see me.“Layla. Do you need something?” He asked me with a serious look on.“I was wondering if we can have lunch together”“No. I have work”“Common, just lunch and you would come back to your work. Don’t be too hard o
Chapter 32BRITTANY’S POV I waited in the bedroom as Hayden is with his mom. I know they are talking about me and I badly want to know what it is. I sat on the bed and try to think about other things to get my mind off it but it sadly isn’t working. I decided to log into social media and hopefully, funny updates would make me forget about Hayden’s mom and everything.Immediately I put on my data, Brenda message came in.Brenda- Hi Baby.Me- hello.Brenda- so are you going to the party?Me- what party?Brenda- where have you been living, the grave?Me- maybe.Brenda- ha ha. Check the school’s group chat. That’s what the students are talking about.Me- the group chat’s messages are too much. Don’t know where to start from. Just tell me.Brenda- Fine! Nick, the hot dude in creative art department is hosting a party at his house this Friday.The entry is simple, come with the opposite gender.Me- so you must go with a guy?Brenda- exactly. So are you coming?Me- NoBrenda- Oh Common. D
Chapter 33BRITTANY’S POV “You seem to be in a good mood today” Andy whispered to me during our first class.“Just shut up and listen to the lecturer” I said to him.“Okay ma’am” he said.Hayden’s mom isn’t so harsh after all. Turns out she was really fun to be with. Our gists were cut off as I needed to come to school. While coming to school, I couldn’t stop thinking about her words and how jovial she really is.My face was brightened up and it was so obvious even Andy noticed it.The first class ended and Andy faced me.“Care to tell me why you are in a good mood?” “So I’m always moody”“No, that isn’t what I mean. You just look different today” he said.“Yes, that’s true” Brenda chipped in joining the conversation.“Guys!” I gave them a look.“Why do I feel like you have a boyfriend and you aren’t telling us” Brenda said.“Do you?” Andy asked his expression changing.“I don’t. I’m married actually” I said in my mind.“I don’t, you guys!” I said instead eyeing them.“Just statin
Chapter 34BRITTANY’S POV We got to the location of the party and my nervousness seems to wash away as I saw the amount of teenagers present.“Wow, Nick really is rich” Brenda said looking at the big mansion referring to the party’s host.“His family is” Andy corrected.“His parent’s money is his money” Brenda rolled her eyes at him and we entered the building.The living room is so huge and I’m not exaggerating but over 80 people were present already.The music have started and red cups which I’m sure contains Alcohol is on every students hand.“Let’s have a drink” Brenda said holding Andy’s hands. I rolled my eyes at her gesture. We walked to the bartender. The room was really spacious. “Will take “sex on a beach” Brenda said to the bartender. “Sex on a beach?” I scrunched my brows.“Yes. That’s the name of a drink” Frank saId and I looked at him. He have been quiet throughout. “Oh” I said tho I’m still confused. Brenda ordered it for all of us and we all went to seat at one

I would be seeing Ezra and Tiana today. They finished their own exams last week and would be arriving today. We would meet up tomorrow.After answering all the questions, I left the exam hall happily.Brenda and Andy were done already and were waiting for me outside.Brenda started talking to me after Andy asked her out on a date.They have been going out but haven’t started dating which I know they eventually will.“How was it?” Andy asked.“All I know is that I’m starving right now”“Let’s go and eat” Brenda said.“Yes please” I nodded.At the eatery, I told them about my friends in Harvard.“We are hanging out tomorrow. Will you join?” I asked.“Yeah sure” they both said at the same time and looked at themselves and smiled.“Okay then. Will text you the location this night” I told them.******That migh
Chapter 48HAYDEN’S POV.My joy knew no bound when the doctor informed me Brittany have woken up.I rushed to her ward and she was seated on the bed.I went to sit beside her.“Hayden...” she said softly.“How are you feeling”“Light” she replied.“Lie down.”“I’m okay like this. 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
