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
"Shall we get to it then?"Damien raised his voice so that everyone could hear him. He was standing on a podium before the flood of board members of the BMX group. He had tried to count them as soon as he entered into the BMX meeting hall, but he lost interest. They were so many that he could only differentiate them by the length of their heads and necks. But there were few of them with whom he was familiar. Those whom he met few days ago before the party. He looked around for Denzel but the lad was nowhere to be found. "Gentlemen, remember I said I had a business to attend to?"He resumed the discourse as soon as he was sure that he'd had enough of the look-around. "Here we are. This is the business."One of the men put up his hand after Damien took a pause. "Naturally I won't have you interrupt me, but it's okay. I owe you one."Damien nodded at the man. The rest of the board members were stunned at how casually he was speaking with them in such a formal setting. But those who
"How would you explain yourself?"The cop asked Jada who had no idea how to answer the question. She knew that there were quite a number of things which she couldn't say, yet she couldn't afford keeping mute. "I'll do the talking. Leave her out of it. After all, I'm the manager of the company. And as far as I remember, I didn't recall calling the police."Elisa took a pause, looking from the head of the police to the toe. "By the way, how did you make your way in here? I'm a hundred percent certain that I've never seen you in my entire life."The officer stared at Elisa for a while. Elisa's face was inquisitive. She was doing all she could to put Jada's mind at rest. She could tell from the look in Jada's face that she could pass out anytime from that moment. The officer looked away from Elisa to Jada. "Your temporary detention period is over. I'll be taking you to the station."He announced, as though Elisa's argument meant nothing to him. "You can't do that, officer."Elisa had
The door to the manager's office opened before him and he stepped into the office. As soon as he did, both ladies jumped on their feet as though he was there to punish them. Of course they had done that out of reverence and respect, but they didn't appear that way."Stop making a villian out of me and sit down already."He complained, walking briskly, closing the pace to join them. The girls sat down on the couch. He sat on another couch which was opposite the long one. "Now ask your questions. Be quick about it, I should meet with my girls."He added. "How did you know about the incident?"Elisa was the first to go. Damien was actually staring at Jada, thinking she would be the first. But he had no choice but to look at Elisa. "You won't believe if I told you the answer. But I knew."Elisa couldn't believe that that was the only thing he had to say to her. The manner at which she was staring at him, it was obvious that she wanted to hear more. Even if she had her way, she would pl
