"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 the other models of the agency.Dealing with that wasn't easy either but the agency still accepted her clauses till this day but today, she sure was crossing one possible limit.The limit to invade the privacy of the boss.Tiara was cool with maintaining no professionalism with the people at work and seemingly that was still tolerable till this day.But it's now the talk about Jayson, the boss.What made her so close with Jayson to call him by his nickname? This was one rude thing to hear for Hattiea.In confusion Hattiea's eyes landed on Jayson again who was now glaring back at Tiara angrily.How could she order Jayson around like that? He was still the boss in power who pays her and everyone at work.He was no easy personality to deal with.Now the matter wasn't anymore about why did she addressed him like that but in fact how did she owned the guts to do that?This confused Hattiea to no limits. Her eyes demanded questions at this point as she still exchanged glances with with Jayson.But in fact he suddenly seemed nervous out of sudden.Tiara balled up her fists, clenching her knuckles tightly witnessing no reaction from Hattiea.Obviously she wanted her out of the scene in order to talk to Jayson alone.And witnessing by her looks of Tiara herself, it does seems urgent. She was shaking in anger as if she was about to burst out any minute."Later! I am busy-"Jayson's voice held firmness as he held Hattiea's hand more tighter than before.But deciding to cut him off in the middle, Hattiea felt there was something urgent about Tiara which couldn't be ignored at all."No. I just wanted to give you this file. You can talk to her, it seems one urgent matter with her!"Hattiea uttered exchanging a short gaze with Tiara, with a judgemental look. Hattiea believed she truly needed to talk about an urgent matter with Jayson and maybe that was the cause of her rebellious behaviour at the moment.Also, Hattiea and Jayson were still at their work place so it was rude to cut the call of someone for their personal matters, that's what Hattiea understood at the minute.She was sure his fiancé but at work, she was just his secretary, she knew her limits within her circle of professionalism.Jayson's eyes looked up at Hattiea sadly for a moment hearing her statement as she just nodded her head in assurance for him, while soon giving his back a short pat of comfort.Hattiea drew her hands back from his grip before intending to exit his office but just as she was about to do so, a felt an arm encircled her waist from behind.Jayson grabbed her from back and pulled her towards him while turning her again to face him. He hugged her waist before hiding his face on her belly while mumbling something for only her to hear.His action hinted a sense of insecurity. Hattiea felt Jayson holding her tightly, so tightly as if he was afraid to lose her. Which felt little awkward to Hattiea suddenly."Wait for me at lunch, I will take you out somewhere!"He uttered as nodding to his words, Hattiea agreed before pulling herself back from his grip again."Okay..."She smiled at him a bit before walking away, Hattiea again exchanged her gaze with Tiara who still seemed angry about something particular.Hattiea's mind was disturbed about what just happened right there as she finally exited the office, to let her fiancé work.But what she wasn't expecting was huge shock awaiting for her.It was the silence before the storm, she was definitely not ready for.Hattiea soon marched away towards her own cabin, deciding to resume her work yet again but something seemed to disturb her thoughts a lot.Her mind went back to what happened just moments ago. The way Tiara barged inside Jayson's cabin without any warning...It seemed like she didn't really much care about anything, not even his privacy.That was rude indeed.As Hattiea's busy fingers were on her keyboard, typing. She momentarily searched for her work iPad to check in the next schedule of today but not finding it anywhere at her sight, she frowned deeply.Very soon working her worries, she assumed that she might have took it along with her to Jayson's office earlier.And have forgotten to take it back with her.Hattiea sighed out in silent tiredness before deciding to get her device back again to continue her work.Getting up from her seat, Hattiea then started walking towards her fiancé's office again but just as she was about to knock on his door, she heard something disturbing, gaining her attention.Hattiea heard a loud sound of glass shattering from the office inside, she panicked in no time.Her heart started thumping hardly inside his chest as she stopped thinking about anything else at the same moment of time and just decided to get inside the office out of concern just to check up on her fiancé.She was worried for him.But right after opening the door, the view she saw gave her wild goosebumps. The entire office was a mess, the broken flower vase along with many glass showcases were shattered on the floor dangerously.It was confusing for Hattiea at first but just then she decided to move her eyes up towards the two individuals, witnessing Tiara holding Jayson's collar while crying hard...Hattiea's eyes widened.The scene was too intimate and inappropriate for any boss and employee relationship. Hattiea's throat dried out taking the view in front of her quietly.Their approximation was pinching her limits as a partner to the other."What is happening here?"Hattiea's voice became deep and demanding while looking at both of them.Jayson soon sensed his fiancé's presence in the same space as his eyes widened looking at Hattiea.Momentarily horror was displayed over his features as if he just got caught. Jayson pulled his body from Tiara's angry hold, immediately in an abrupt manner making her jerk backwards.He then whispered Hattiea's name in pure shock but with a hint of terror was heard in it."Hattiea!"He spelled out taking steps towards his fiancé.Still facing the momentary confusion Hattiea questioned him yet again, her heart by then started stinging a bit for unknown reasons.Strangely she felt like she wasn't ready for what was coming."What is happening here Jay?"Hattiea raised her voice a bit at her fiancé to answer her question immediately.She was seemingly serious.Why was Tiara holding her collar and why the entire office was upside down like that?What happened between them in a matter of just few minutes?"It's nothing baby."Jayson intended to speak back to her with his assuring tone but eventually he started to panic, making Hattiea doubt on his words more.He looked too guilty to believe at the moment."There is something going on, tell me!"Hattiea clenched her fists being demanding enough again, obviously she wasn't believing there is nothing going on between them at all.She felt something was wrong since Tiara stepped inside the office earlier.She waited few seconds for Jayson to answer her worries but instead having any reply coming from him, Tiara chuckled dangerously gaining Hattiea's eyes.Tiara was still crying out while her laughter hinted no good thing at the moment either.She seemed insane."YOU WANT TO KNOW? YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW THEN FUCKING LOOK AT IT YOURSELF!"Tiara came forward crying in anger, shouting out loud at Hattiea while throwing some papers at Hattiea's face.Jayson watched the action in shock but soon anger developing inside of him, he growled loudly at Tiara."YOU FUCKING DARED!"Jayson transferred his angry eyes towards Tiara who still glared at Hattiea, he got the hold of Tiara's arm in a painful grip before pushing her back abruptly again.But not having more of drama anymore, Tiara shouted back at his face with the same intensity."I AM TIRED OF THIS, YOU GET ME!"Tiara shouted back at his face too.Hattiea's eyes were down momentarily while the two fought with one another, at this point she started fearing the outcome.She truly did as her eyes went down to the papers lying on the floor, she bent over to get the papers which Tiara threw at her way earlier.Tiara's loud sobs were painful, her mourning was ringing around the office's walls loudly proving Jayson's reasons wrong.So very wrong...Getting the hold of the papers, Hattiea intended to read out what was mentioned on the paper when suddenly a hand stopped her intention to do so."Don't, please!"Jayson whispered to his fiancé with his broken voice but at this point Hattiea's guts screamed louder than ever.She wanted her answers which he was not giving her, hence jerking his hand away from her. Hattiea cared less about him and decided to read out what was really written on the papers.Which caused such a huge conflict between the two.Soon after her eyes roamed around the white sheets of paper for a detail minute.It was some reports.Hattiea's breathing stopped for a long second then there when she realised what the reports exclaimed.Feeling all the energy leaving her body suddenly, Hattiea felt her knees weakened. Her body stumbled, unable to carry her own weight.She almost collapsed on the floor with wild glasses shattered on it carelessly but the man who was called her fiancé, was quick enough to hold her upright before her body could have made any contact with the floor and touched the harsh pieces of glass which were very ready to harm her already."Baby, watch out..."Jayson cried out seeing her devastated reaction, sobbing under his breath he felt pathetic.Meanwhile, all of his worries for Hattiea only made her all choked up at the moment of time as she matched her betrayed gaze with her fiancé who was holding her in a protective manner."You laid with her?"Her tears started flowing right then while still holding the reports of DNA test on her hands.It was Tiara's prematal non-invasive DNA paternity test reports which claimed clearly that Jayson was the father of her unborn child.Tiara was pregnant with Jayson's baby and the DNA reports were the proof of all which she just slapped at Hattiea's face.Hattiea's lips started trembling acknowledging everything when she heard no reply from Jayson's side.He was ashamed and too humiliated to face his fiancé properly. His eyes dropped down.He cheated behind her back. He did!"YOU LAID WITH HER BEHIND MY BACK AND MADE HER PREGNANT, JAYSON?""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
'Why would she jump in front of the running car like she does not even care for her life' What was she even thinking?' 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. The unknown woman was still lying on the bed unconsciously when another guest adde
"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
MEANWHILEHATTIEA'S HOUSEHattiea finally managed to return back home with her weak head somehow, walking all the way.After ringing the doorbell once, immediately her worried mother showed up in quick seconds at the doorway almost as if she was expecting only her. Hattiea's chocolate eyes caught her mute mother's concerned expressions.Her mute mother did an immediate quick hand moment for her to ask her about her sudden disappearance but being already very weak enough to even respond to her, Hattiea only shook her head before entering inside her house.Letting her mother follow her from behind. Judging by the looks of the distressed mother, it was not difficult for Hattiea to get the clue that Jayson must have come around here, looking for her in her absence... maybe that is why her mother was so worried about her.The mute mother witnessed her daughter's tiresome figure dragging her steps inside the house also her unwillingness to answer her any question at the moment.Hence lett
He stared at the footage of the woman escaping the hospital repeatedly. "It's her?" Jordan questioned angrily. Right there was the woman who caused such a huge distress to him. Right. She escaped in the thin air making everyone restless. None knew who she was, none knew where she went...She appeared and disappeared confusing everyone with her existence. Just like a wind she came and left like she never even existed, that caused such huge destruction in Jordan's life. He looked so dangerous, he was obviously mad at himself for being so helpless yet again.Anyone would be.After trying so hard the doctors finally managed found the matched bone marrow for his half dead mother, and it happened to be unexpectedly the same woman whom he brought to the hospital today.It was an important issue for him. Jordan needed her, he wanted her anyhow in order to save his mother now... he have no other choice left but to track the woman down because waiting to find any other donor for his mot
NEXT DAY "Jessica I want everything to be perfect, they could be here anytime. Today's board conference is very important for me and I cannot allow any mistakes!" Wearing extremely busy aura, Jayson paced around the office being tensed with one of his employee who was assigned to arrange today's board conference with one of the biggest and greatest investors of America. The Lawrence's. Obviously, Jayson was tensed since he was informed that the Lawrence's were interested in his agency and wanted to meet him as soon as possible. It was all so sudden for him to take in but at the same time, it was exactly what he had been aiming for so long. He wanted to gain their attention. He finally caught it. That was exactly why he went to the event yesterday. It did work for him! "Understood Mr.Jayson!" The employee replied professionally while soon reaching the cabin following Jayson behind to address him about the conference's arrangements. Entering inside, he sighed deeply pinching
"Saying absolutely unexpected things out of no fucking where Jordy. That's fucking scary." Sebastian claimed all surprised, tilting his head at the direction of the woman ahead who seemingly disappeared from his view the other matter of second.Jordan's frown eased up a bit as he looked away hiding his eyes, saying nothing in his defence. Immediately proving his friend's point right in a manner.Hence taking the lead of the conversation further on, Sebastian charged his friend a question about what was in his mind. "What do you want me to do about her next? What are your plans with her?" Sebastian questioned bluntly. Obviously now that they finally found her, they need to approach her as quick as possible.Considering the doctor's advice in a serious account, both the individuals were well aware that his mother's condition was getting serious day by day. They really don't have time to waste trying to act upon anything, all they knew for now was they needed to get that woman read
"I do? Then why the hell did you contact Lawrence's when I literally told you not to! Do you even know what could be wrong if we fail again, you will have countless debts on you and our company will be bankrupted. That's the sort of aftermath you can't afford at the moment Jayson!"Hattiea shouted out loud without bothering being watched or filmed by anyone.Cameras and people, she cared least about at the very moment.Launching both of her fists over Jayson's chest aggressively caused him to jerk backwards again but getting a hold over himself, he again stood strong with his amour of defenceless confidence.He eventually caught the hold of her fists, pulling her in towards him. Face to face for a brutal confrontation."For once, why can't you think about the bright picture Hattiea? Think about the positive aftermath, what if we'll rock the deal? Our company will touch the sky like never again. Why the fuck do you always have to be negative?"Instead of sounding convincing, Jayson's s
"Jordan Lawrence?" Jayson found his voice back but unlike the other confused faces present in the hall, he seemingly acted shocked and too captivated by the man who betted 50 million dollars for a mere ring... His action also attracted Hattiea's attention immediately as she frowned at him deeply. Indeed, she'd heard the name of 'Jordan Lawrence' before in her career multiple times but just like others, she never met before in events like this. He was never seen in public. Today was indeed special to have him here out of all the places. But that didn't surprise Hattiea much like the fact that he was the same man who tried to molest her back in the hallways? He was none other than the god father of the entertainment and fashion industry round the entire states of America, the same creepy stranger who tried to kidnap her earlier? Acknowledging all this, Hattiea's noticed also Jayson's dumbfounded face, with a hint of curiosity for that man. Jayson seemed to act like he knew somet
"50 million dollars and sold!" The host leading the auction accepted the final bid, nodding to Jordan. As soon as the host announced, crowd's attention drafted towards the the owner of the most expensive jewel of tonight.Gasps were heard from the crowd as everyone's eyes found the one who bade the highest only for a ring? Guessing he must be a man of crazy expenses. They were indeed right! The same minute Jordan's cold expression turned out to be more arrogant as he smirked ironically, winning the bid with a single strike. His presence alone was holding so much power to reveal that he wasn't any easy personality obviously to be able to afford the jewel of tonight.Jordan stood up from the VIP section dusting his suit once. Next snaking his right hand inside his pocket holding zero emotions whatsoever over his face. Having every single eyes on him yet he was not paying attention to anyone in the room but only one.Hattiea's eyes found him staring at her as she felt weird chills
"I can no longer allow you in my heart, if anything... you will only have me for the sake of the favours you did to me in the past. Business is what you always chose, business is what you are going get from me."Hattiea firmly cut Jayson's statement off, shutting him up for a good couple of minutes to process her words in complete shock. Her eyes were cold as she looked right into his ones, making it crystal clear for him to get her denial right. She wasn't going to get infatuated by his sweet talks ever again. He made enough fool of her, now not anymore. Acknowledging Hattiea's guided speech against him, Jayson gulped in silent guilt. He too knew well that Hattiea wasn't like any other women who would like to be persuaded with money or any luxurious assets. If anything, she would want only love and honesty from a person. Nothing else. Hattiea was seemingly broken. She was heartbroken and that's what caused her to question her interest in her relationship with Jayson. They h
"Took a while to find the restroom!" Blinking long and hard, Hattiea finally opened her lashes steading herself to face her so called fiancé with enough confidence to look unfazed and fine.She made sure not to mention anything about the incident happened back in the hallway.It was weird, so weird. She should tell her fiancé about the stranger who stalked her and tried to take her somewhere with him, held her, threatened her and what not in the span of last 10 minutes. The stranger could have done anything to her and sure as hell she would have needed Jayson's help desperately. But strangely she did not want to mention a word about anything anymore. Not when, she was too enraged by Jayson to make her come here to attend a freaking charity event at the very first place. It was all because of him. He made her attend the event when she didn't even want to come. If he hadn't forced her then all of this wouldn't even have happened. Most definitely, Jayson was to be blamed for ever
"I am not kidding either. At least not with a lucky meat like you!"Jordan uttered as Hattiea's eyes widened at his indirect use of humour. There was something he tried to imply by that 'lucky meat' but Hattiea was too distracted to give it a thought. Her entire attention was directed on how Jordan held her captured. Seemingly wearing a pair of high heels with a long revealing gown tonight was a huge mistake. She fount it difficult to handle her own weight at this situation, while struggling to strengthen herself.But soon she felt Jordan wrapping his arms around her more tightly making her unable to move...Hattiea landed upon Jordan's warm embrace while trying to balance herself, although the amount of rude force he applied was a messy move indeed. Jordan pulled her forward towards him with a deep sigh. That gave Hattiea clear chills down her spine. Her heart raced million times faster and her pupils dilated in clear fear at this point. He was not at all using force on her lik
Though the soundless hallway now no longer echoed the sound of the smack Hattiea just planted over Jordan's face being upright, but the pinching silence started crowding both of their respective spaces in no time. Which was so loud to ignore, indeed quite serious too. Jordan Lawrence was a man of heavy pride. The entire world acknowledged him with that very title. The man who dominates the industry, the man responsible for millions of family being fed and taken care of every single day in the entertainment industry...He was no easy personality, let alone never a man who tolerates disrespect against him. He never allowed even a finger against him all those years of his life. Let alone a direct slap being directed towards his face so easily... that was unexpected.Too unrealistic to make believe for others. If someone had witnessed the scene their working pair of eyes then it sure would be quite an entertaining headline for tomorrow round the entire states of America. Jordan Lawr
