CHAPTER 12“I will never accept the humiliation Jayden caused me on my beautiful day, mother! Something has got to be done about it, especially to that imbecile daughter of my father.” Bella ranted with so much agony, her eyes soaked with tears.“Bella, I am also unhappy with Jayden's attitude to you. Even if he had a thing or two against you, the embarrassment was too much for you and our family. He treated us like scums; like piece of shit.” Allen was embittered and her voice carried the weight of her bitterness.“And you are being cool towards the situation? Now, Medeia had a fairytale wedding and no one interrupted hers. And I was forced to accept shame. Because I am his ex and he wanted to rub it off on me that I lost.”She sobbed longer and harder.“Revenge is best served cold, Bella. Give it time. Medeia can have a beautiful laugh now but you will laugh last and best.”“I am not letting it go mother!” Bella replied sharply with a shrilling tune. “I am going to pay Meieda an un

CHAPTER 14A piercing Silence filled the boardroom. No one could utter a word. Jayden became uneasy, thinking it had to do with the fact that he probably spoke gibberish.“I cannot imagine that we had such a bright idea and it was kept away from us for all these years…” Sir Thompson appraised with a robust smile.“As much as I hate the fact that I am saying this, that was a fine presentation young man. I am impressed,” Lord Barrack added with a stern look on his face.“This is a really top-notch idea and cannot be ignored. We have to look into it and accept it. I just hate that this came when Lord Benjamin is confined to medical observation. What a tragedy.”Everyone had a thing to say about the presentation and it was all about commendation except the ones whose hearts were beginning to breed jealousy against Jayden; Hellena and Hardy.“If this idea is already this refined, then what is the delay in execution?” Sir Thompson inquired.“A vote from the members of the board. I could ha

CHAPTER 16Jayden got off his vehicle and raced up the stairs to find Medeia lying down and sobbing profusely.“What is wrong with you? At first you collapsed and now you are sobbing? Where is Salome? Salome!” His voice was intense as he stared at her, confused in what the issue was and frustrated by the limited communication they could have.Salome appeared in the bedroom in the space of seconds.“What happened to Medeia? Why Is she sobbing?”Medeia began to wipe her tears. She and Salome exchanged glances that carried a reminder of the oath of secrecy Salome swore to.“I-I am not sure sir. I left her a while ago to get her something to eat. The last I knew was that her head was hurting and she accepted that I gave her aspirin. Which I did.”“Medeia, please stop scaring me and talk to me. Is anyone hurting you or is anything bothering you? We may not be so in love but we are married and I owe it to you to look after your welfare.” His voice was filled with emotions and more tears rus

CHAPTER 18Desmond's driver drove carelessly through the streets of Sweint on his Boss' orders.“Get this car Rolling faster, Chimp!” Desmond was fuming and his anger was rising to a rage.His cell phone beeped time and again; Allen was calling.He was avoiding her calls because he could not speak without being vengeful.They drove into the Moore residence and the driver parked the Bentley. Desmond got off the car hastily and walked briskly into the mansion.“Hey honey, you're home. I have called you tirelessly,” Allen whined.“Did you see the rubbish show your daughter pulled up on the internet today? Have you seen the embarrassing videos of Baron and Bella trending everywhere?” Desmond raged, his breathing was hard and strained.“I have… that's why I was calling you.”“Where the hell is that little brat? Does she know what we stand to lose if Baron takes this up against us?”Allen put her face down.“I cannot seem to reach her on her cell phone. Her lines are switched off.”“Have yo

CHAPTER 20Weeks passed by and Baron walked through the horrific feeling of losing his wife for no reason.“You should have known she was just a gold-digger,” his friend Mark said.“She never loved you, I guess you were simply the rebound guy for her,” Cassie said.He sat with them over brunch and they tried to get him out of his sinking mood in a cafe.“I just felt that perhaps, we had a chance. But why I feel the most pain is that I thought she would have at least accepted that she loved me and put aside all other distractions. To think that she would still hurt me publicly.” His voice was breaking as his anger began to rise again.“Leave it! Stop thinking about her! You have got us,” Cassie said with reassuring smile. “Can I shock you? She is definitely gonna come back,” Mark grinned. “I feel she is still eyeing Jayden and probably feels humiliated that her sister won Jayden's heart. But Jayden knows better than to accept someone who ditched him when he supposedly had nothing.”“T
