When he jumped up, he realised that something rolled off his shoulder but he didn't care. He wanted to hurry out of the office at once but realised that if he left that way, Elisa would remain on the floor. He couldn't had imagined that the careful and classy Elisa could be such a dead log at the state of sleep. He did what he could quickly and created a portal. He stepped into it and found himself at the front of the VIP door which leads into the multipurpose Hall. He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong. He didn't know if he should do it, but he didn't care. He couldn't think of any other thing. The only thing he could think of was MY BABY. The baby Jada was carrying was all that he was worried about. That was exactly what had set his actions rolling. The door opened before him and he walked like he was zooming towards the stage. Not many people saw him come in. Majority of them had their attentions on the fallen girl. "Step aside."He called and the rest of the
"Come seat opposite me."He called Jada who was still staring at Elisa who had just used the door. Elisa had a lot of questions in her face, but she couldn't give life to them. Jada herself could had wondered about the sudden change of Damien's mind but then realised that she had herself to worry about. At that moment, she couldn't tell why Damien wanted to be left alone with her. She was already scared and cautious around him even with people around. But now that she was the only one, she had no idea what to feel. Realising that Damien wasn't going to repeat himself, she got up and walked to where he had nodded her to seat. She settled in. Damien took down the window hanging in the air. It seemed as though he was already done with it. "Why did you lose your spirit?"He started and Jada couldn't hide her face anymore. She looked him in the eyes. "Did you change because of the pregnancy or because you carry my child?""Our child."There was a sudden edge to Jada voice when she c
Damien watched each man enter into the office. He could see them looking from one corner of the office to the other. They must be so full of themselves to show themselves into the office without permission. But Damien wasn't surprised. That was what power do to people. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. He could tell that story without creating a loophole in the plot development. "We do not mean to violate your privacy, sir. We only wanted to see you and introduce ourselves."INTRODUCE YOURSELVES TO INTIMIDATE ME?He wanted to laugh out loud. He was tempted to, but made up with the usual creeping smile. Damien noticed Elisa walking briskly towards him. When she got to him, she whispered into his ears. "I don't mean to tell you what to do. But be careful with them. They are very relevant in this world."She she pulled away, re-asumming the former stance, Damien stared at her for a while. Then he leaned forward to whisper into her ears,"I should kiss you."Elisa's eyes widened. Bu
Damien pulled the car over at the front of the hospital. It was one of the best hospitals in the country, situated in the state. He was going to push the door open when Jada said,"I didn't know you were serious about the pregnancy."Damien whose face was already thrown to the door which he was about to get, turned to her once. He couldn't really say that he was surprised. But for sure, he didn't see that coming. "Should this be an insult?"Damien asked with a cold face. Jada whose face was lighting up suddenly had a wave of gloom stalk it. "Insult? How could that be an insult?"She made a stance and was willing to support it. "It's my first child. My own child. And I won't take it seriously? Doesn't that sound like an insult to you?"She looked away from him when he took a pause. Her face was lifted off the concern. She didn't look like she was confused anymore. "I didn't mean that. I mean, I'm happy now."He wanted to ask what she was happy about but he knew that she was going t
"Please have a seat sir."Edward waved his hand to a leathered sofa which was not far from the bed. He had walked both Damien and Jada into the VIP ward. "You shouldn't worry about me."Damien threw the offer in his face. Edward returned it with a smile. He looked away from Damien to Jada,"It's an honor to have you here, miss Jada. You have no idea how elated I am. If you don't mind, I would love to take a picture with you before leaving.""Didn't you scold your staff for taking pictures at work? Haven't you learnt about leading by example?""Damien!!"Jada tried to caution him, but Damien took two steps closer. Edward looked up at him. There was a cold shade lurking in the corners of Damien's eyes. Cozy enough to freeze the courage of any man. "She's pregnant. Do check ups. If there is anything to be worried about, let us know.""She's what??"Edward was shocked. The manner at which his eyes popped up, you would think that he was dating Jada and then heard that she cheated on him.
Jada got back to Boldyville hotel and walked into the elevator which took her to the office floor of the manager. She walked slowly towards the office. Her mind was occupied. There were so many things which kept playing and replaying in her mind. One of them was how rich Damien was? Where did he get the money from? But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't reach the answer she wanted. What happened at the hospital was another episode. But too bad, everything seemed to be going over her head. And she knew that for the sake of the baby, she didn't have the luxury to get this worried. She pushed the bell of the door and it chimed. She waited for a while, then the door opened before her. She looked, Elisa was seated in her position as the manager of the company. Jada remained standing for a while. As though she was having a hard time choosing what next to do. "At least close the door if you are here for a staring contest."Elisa had looked up at her. Jada wanted to ma
Jada wanted to slam the door in the face of the weird man, but the man reached out one of his hands and stopped the force. Jada staggered back. "Stay back right now! Stay back!"She yelled a warning at the man who didn't look disturbed. The fellow looked like an advanced option of the JOKER character. "I heard that one has to make a certain huge amount of money to fuck one of y'all."The man threw at her, walking closer to meet her. "I said keep your distance!!!"Jada was alert and vulnerable. But the man was indifferent and scary. The man left the door unlocked behind him, widely opened. "You don't have to be startled. I only came to make an enquiry. I'm not fucking you today. But we could always make an arrangement for the future. Or perhaps, we could even make an exception today."The man didn't walk closer anymore. He retained the position which he was holding at that moment. "I don't think you have any idea for how long we have been awaiting your return. In short, I'll be h
When Elisa stepped into the room and closed the door behind her. Immediately her eyes greeted the gory scene about few steps away from her, she almost crashed into the door behind her. Pressing her back to the door in dread and horror. Her face suddenly grew pale, her eyes weary. The pupils were bulging so heavily and actively at the sockets. Her hands clasped to her mouth; she had just seen what was close to a ghost; the body of a dead man. Jada opened her mouth but couldn't find the words. She knew she should explain to her, but the words were betraying. They were not willing to be rolled out. One of the questions that Jada wanted to ask was what Elisa was doing there, but of course she knew that that wasn't an important question. "I can explain."Jada finally found the words which had been remote. Though her words said how intentional she was about whatever she had in mind, but her eyes was saying something else. "Elisa I can explain."Jada had seen the way Elisa reacted when
