Parting his lips, Jordan placed the burning cigarette on his mouth and stood up from his seat before walking towards his shelves containing all his important documents related business, but soon there a light tug on his arm stopped his actions. It was her, he knew it cause no one other than her had the audacity to enter and exit his cabin without his permission. His wife, Hattiea. Or maybe the woman pretending to be his wife? Jordan's dark eyes landed on the culprit immediately with darkness but as soon as he found her behind him close to him... He got lost for a moment or so... The proximity rose slight tension between them. Raising her fingers up, Hattiea pulled the burning cigarette out from his mouth which was still resting on his lips. Her delicate fingers brushed his chin and lips softly. Following by the smoke, he released his minty breath in slight awe, her breath taking face was so close to his face. They both never came so close to one another actually. Even though it had been quite of time getting married with one another, they minded their boundaries well. As it was not any marriage of love for them but a marriage full of compromises. Hattiea's eyes soon travelled up from his lips back to his eyes, which were still staring at her ditching their shame. "It's dangerous for your health." Hattiea exclaimed hinting his smoking habit, while looking right into his eyes. Her hazel eyes were blank yet they held millions of emotions. "So are you!" Jordan's smoky breath caressed her face. The deepness of his voice solely made Hattiea's heart race million times faster. It was true... she was dangerous for him. Way too dangerous to handle.

"Why were you late? Where have you been all this time?" Jordan's deep and dark voice echoed round the space of two, with domination as his dark eyes stared at the woman standing in front him without any easy emotions. Yet, Hattiea being strong enough showed no signs of weakness or any signs of submission on her face instead she still stood in front of him maintaining her posture professionally.She was not scared of his outburst like others and that's what made her different than the rest too, she knew her husband wasn't a man to harm anyone especially not her.She was the best to deal with him because she understood him in right manner and better than others did. "Something came up." Hattiea answered in short.But clearly not having any of her attitude at the moment of heat, a deep yet scary chuckle from Jordan was heard.He sounded threatening and Hattiea well knew the reason behind his sudden anger as she just chose to not mind him much at the moment. "What was it? I would lik

"Jay, I need to talk to you alone..." Tiara uttered in anger still glaring at Hattiea with unknown hatred, meanwhile she just frowned at her action deeply. Mainly at the nickname, it was always Hattiea who called Jayson that way. Never anyone at work had ever owned the guts to take that nickname except her before.And hearing that coming from Tiara, made Hattiea feel uncomfortable. Speaking about her, even though Tiara was always treated specially at work because of her popularity and fame, there has still been some boundaries between a boss and employee relationship.Everyone at workplace biased and pampered her because she was the only popular face of the agency at the current moment of time and displeasing her could be one challenging outcome for the agency itself.Hence at some point the agency was tolerating her attitude till now, even Jayson. She was a rude talker at work, she used to demand the best team to collaborate with and the best costume and makeup at the times than

"YOU LAID WITH HER BEHIND MY BACK AND MADE HER PREGNANT, JAYSON?" Hattiea shouted at Jayson's face this time pushing him away from her harshly. While he stumbled back in pure shock, never before she shouted at him. As she was always the woman who put him first in everything, she loved him so much to the extend that she sacrificed her own wishes. Guess that's what betrayal caused her. Hattiea then started taking long breaths while crying out loud while looking at the other person, Tiara. The woman who caressed her belly while blankly staring at her crying in misery, maybe that's what she wanted. Tiara was having the baby of her fiancé, she would now demand the rights as a partner not as a mistress anymore and that was why she was here to claim her rights. Hattiea still teared up in betrayal meanwhile looking at her, Jayson then decided to approach her yet again. "Baby i-it was a mistake."He spelled out with his broken voice, suppressing his sobs in the lump being stuck on his

MEANWHILEHattiea's eyes were red. She was heartbroken and too devastated to be able to react on her surroundings anymore.She escaped from Jayson's hold ignoring his pleads behind her, seeking for some personal space but as soon as she exited his office, she was stunned to see people being gathered out of the door just to witness all the ruckus going on inside their boss's office.Everyone knew well how much their boss loved his secretary, it was so much to the extend where he never let go of Hattiea even at the work time... then how come he ended up cheating on her? How come he cheated on her with another woman this easily? That too Tiara? That was way too unexpected for anyone to believe. Even though Jayson was Hattiea's fiancé and valued her in both field of his professional and personal life... there were still few people who envied their pair and coordination at work, mostly because they thought Hattiea was way too perfect to stand next to him and their agency.People thought

"Did I tell you-you to continue seeing me after-after the shoots secretly?" Tiara questioned again looking right at Jayson's dark pair of eyes with equal dare. His grip on her throat loosened after hearing her this time, reality started hitting him immediately. It has always been Jayson who chased after Tiara even though being engaged to Hattiea, he chose to cheat on his fiancé with some other woman first. Then how come it was only her fault in all this? Tiara only chose to have an affair with Jayson knowing him being already in a relationship with Hattiea, that's the only fault she had in everything...And now that she was a mother to his unborn child, she just wanted him to take responsibility of it. That is all she wanted, then where is she wrong in all of this? He should not blame everything on only her when he was the cause of everything from the start. If not he had gotten attracted to any other woman than Hattiea at the very first place, then all of this would not even h

LATER THAT DAY Jayson's heart felt heavy, maybe the guilt he was carrying was the cause of all. Nothing could get any better until he sees Hattiea, he acknowledged.It has been a couple of hours of her leaving his office now yet, she did not show up the entire day. Jayson waited all the while just to talk the matter with her for once.He wanted to meet her in order to make sure that she was fine, even though he knew too well that she was not.His eyes were still a bit red while being focused on the busy streets ahead, he licked his dry lips again and again because of the nervousness building inside of him while driving to Hattiea's house.After whatever have happened earlier, Jayson just could not face her with enough dare but he knew, he had to... at some point of time.He should at least apologise for what he had done.That is the least thing he could do, right? Hattiea obviously does not deserve a betrayal like that from him. Being cheated on was the worst nightmare for a woman l

His legal tangles tried to figure out what was wrong with her in actual senses.Though Sebastian was relieved enough for the fact that she was not injured because of his friend. At least the situation not in the worse case. Still... there was something that Sebastian was curious about her. He kept looking at the woman's pale face for a heavy minute and noticed her dried tears on her cheeks, he assumed her to be crying before passing out. Maybe she was not in her senses when all that happened to her? Maybe... Sebastian chose to wait for the woman to wake up first in order to ask forgiveness from his friend's behalf as a formality, he was no more in tension after hearing that no damage was made to the lady.Jordan was not at fault, hence there was nothing to be worried about either.

"Are you feeling any better, Miss?" Hattiea next heard the nurse asking her with a confused yet uneasy tone making her shake her head at those words nonchalantly. The nurse seemingly again eyed her detached wrist nervously, which Hattiea was still seemingly rubbing in pain."Where am I?"Hattiea questioned directly to the nurse after a moment instead of replying her back.Her throat seemed to be dried out as she gulped a hard lump down. Her head still felt a little dizzy for unknown reasons yet she managed to get her senses together and face the nurse in front of her with seriousness. "And what happened to me?" With her raspy voice she questioned the nurse back again while watching her curiously.The nurse's face seemed to lose colours immediately right then.It was as if she was nervous and horrified to answer that question? But why? The reaction of the nurse confused Hattiea a bit."Um... You fainted due to low blood pressure, Miss!" Somehow the nurse managed to let out profes
