CHAPTER 38The dye was cast. Baron and Bella were meeting up in a quiet part of town.He set the time for 4pm and intentionally refused to speak with Cassie. She knew he had a date and she kept calling and calling but he would not pick.*Ding!*She dropped a message.I know that you are avoiding my calls purposely and I know this has a lot to do with your date but I'd like to say this; I am not letting that lady have another bit of you if she does not mean to stay. I am not giving up on you, just yet. I will make sure I make it difficult for her.Love,Cassie.Baron read through and burst into laughter. “Witty queen,” he muttered and finished up his dressing with a hat on his head.He wore it because Bella loved him a lot with his hats. He had a dim red shirt with a pair of jeans on and a pair of black snickers.He got into his car and drove through the streets to the location.He did not want to get there before her and he was sure she would be late. So he sat in his car and got bus
CHAPTER 39“We were talking about the baby,” Bella replied directly, trying to maintain her calm.His relationship with that lady was biting her a bit but she was more bitten by the way he was rubbing it off on her.“Bella, what do you expect me to do about the baby? I mean, we broke up… No, you left me.” He stated without a flinch.“Did you have to put it that way?” She asked with a cross gaze.“How else should I have put it?” Baron asked looking a bit confused. “Was I supposed to say that we broke up? Did we break up? You decided to end it on you own.” His voice was getting haughty and she was becoming slightly uncomfortable.She said nothing and they ate on utter silence.“Are your parents aware that you are pregnant?” Baron asked with a squeezed face.“They do not know yet. But I guess after the dinner night where I was so loud, they know now. But they have never mentioned it or asked me anything about the event.”“Are your answers honest, Bella?” Baron asked with an inquisitive g
CHAPTER 40**News Flash:**Jayden Gracehill; the most Influential youth in the whole Sweint city gains an award and loses his pride.His wife is full of shit and wholly disgraceful. She embarrassed her spouse because she could not say words as simple as: ‘'I want to shit.”******Jayden read through the headlines and anger swelled up inside of him. He was filled with pain, agony and distress.He was unhappy that his wife was going through such appalling and shameful situations like that and he was unable to pin down the culprits.He slammed his laptop and moved it away from his desk. Fury was burning deep inside of him. His office door creaked open and the last person he wanted to see, walked in.“Aunty Hellena. To what do I owe this unexpected visit?” He asked without a smile, spelling it outright that he did not want her around him.Hellena walked in gentle strides towards his table and sat on a couch opposite of him.“Have you seen the news flying around on blogs and tabloids about
CHAPTER 41**New Flash**The Gracehill Corporation is on fire.The news was spread out to every blog and everyone was carrying the news . The events turned out to be a total disaster as videos of Jayden and Tom howling at each other and giving each other blows was so visible.“This could have been avoided, you know.” Sir Thompson Stood up. “What you two did is very disgraceful and I don't even know how to begin with you both now. Why would you put the corporation out there In a bad light like that? Why would you make us seem like we do not know where we are headed?” Sir Thompson voiced out, as he was angered.“He refused to take the step I asked him to take. He ruined my efforts!” Jayden slammed the desk. He was embittered.“You are an egoistic man who thinks so highly of himself and so low of other people. I am not the one to be destroyed by your witty words or actions,” Tom Hardy replied sharply, his fists clenched beside him.“And you are a spoiled brat who knows nothing more than
CHAPTER 42 The beautiful sunlight cast its glaring rays through the flight windows and caused Jayden to open his eyes.“For how long did I drift?” He asked Amber.She smiled casually. “Maybe, 3 minutes. I mean I was worried that you have been through a very tough era.”“You thought right,” he mumbled and leaned back into his seat, to relieve the stress he had from having his grandfather in the hospital for almost two months, to having his wife being disgraced and almost killed, to having a public fight with Tom Hardy. It was a hellish era for him.“The past few months have been crazy for me and I honestly think this trip is most appropriate. A few days with my wife and I may have some change in attitude,” he was hurting. He set his feet on the seat directly opposite where he was seating.He was relaxed as the jet glided through the clouds, occasionally encountering bumps.“I understand all you have been through sir and I must say that you have been firm and strong and we admire you s
CHAPTER 43The streets of Sweint were busy as usual and the traffic was crazy. Jayden's car was stuck in the traffic and he found it annoying.“All I want to do is to get into my bath, have a warm bath and collapse on my bed. I am bewildered by how wild these paparazzi can get,” he nagged angrily.“Tell me more,” Amber replied calmly. “They have ruined a good number of celebrities around the world, causing them to plunge deep into panic attacks and some other psychological disorders.”“Hmm…,” Jayden muttered, his voice becoming dry and croaky. “I cannot deal with such a level of madness, to be honest. Yet again, what can one possibly do?” He raised his shoulder in a shrug.Amber nodded. She was still having the excitement trickle through her because of her new job role. She was glad that she would now be an operational staff of the Gracehill Corporation; a wish she had secretly made a long time ago.“Have you or Brian heard from Yohan yet?” Jayden asked, as the thoughts of his grandfa
CHAPTER 44Baron waited at the alley for Bella. She had called countlessly and he was not interested in seeing her.He had at some point cut off her calls. But his father spoke to him and he decided to listen to her for a bit.Bella parked her car and got out of the car. Baron did not say a word.Bella worked up to him. “Been calling you for at least two hours, Baron,” her voice was deep and she sounded offended. Baron looked at her and turned away.“I cannot be taking your calls after I specifically told you that I do not want to have anything to do with you anymore. What do you want from me, Bella?" He questioned her with a straight and cold look.“We have an unfinished business Baron,” Bella replied with a twisted lips corner.Baron glanced at her haughtily and shook his head. “You do not get it, do you? I am not the one to be fooled into believing you anymore. After all you did a few months ago?” He asked with a smirk.“But we must still make a decision eventually about the child
CHAPTER 45“A lawsuit?” Jayden laughed out loud. “What game did she play that hurt Baron so badly?He seemed to be enjoying the sorrow his ex-girlfriend was going through recently.He scrolled through his phone and found the news again, clearly written on Tabloids. Amber was standing beside him in his office. She was now his secretary and Project manager.“Well, I feel this has a lot to do with a personal vendetta. But my only question is why did she have to go and visit him again after hurting him that much with the breakup.” Amber asked with curiosity, dancing in her eyes.“I cannot tell. But it does seem like she wants something from him,” Jayden had that mocking laughter on his face.“I guess so too. If not, why else? Bella is a very greedy woman.” Amber added with a smirk.“Greedy, you say. She has venomous greed; a greed that poisons other people's lives and ambitions and she does not think about other people's pain when she unleashes her unbridled desires,” Jayden stated. “She
CHAPTER 186Jayden's joy knew no bounds as he was welcomed into the Gracehill corporation. Many of them wish him a good and successful life ahead while some say he lied to get his Aunt Helena locked.Upon entering the Gracehill corporation, Jayden was met with friendly smiles and messages of congratulations from the staff. A lot of them showed their admiration for his bravery and resolve in holding Desmond and Helena accountable.Mr. Thompson, who was the acting CEO of the corporation, expressed his pride in having Jayden as a part of the Gracehill family while extending his hand in welcome.Jayden firmly shook Mr. Thompson's hand, feeling a swell of pride in his chest. "Thank you," he responded, his voice reflecting gratitude. "I feel privileged to be present in this place."During the day, Jayden met different departments and teams within the company, all of whom were excited to collaborate with him. He was amazed by the commitment and expertise of the staff and felt a hopeful antic
CHAPTER 185As Desmond and Helena were led into the police station, the atmosphere was tense and charged with energy. Jayden and Yohan stood, their expressions showing strong determination. The proof collected was strong, and they were prepared to witness justice being served."Desmond and Helena, you're being arrested for the killing of Sir Benjamin Gracehill, Theodore, and Sandra," stated one of the officers in a strong tone.Desmond sneered, a self-satisfied grin dancing in his mouth. "He looked at Jayden and Yohan and spat, saying they had no evidence."Yohan moved closer, displaying the files with incriminating evidence. "We certainly do," he said, anger flashing in his eyes. "We have statements from witnesses, records from phones, and footage from surveillance cameras that confirm both of you were present at the crime scene."For a moment, Helena's calm demeanor faltered, a hint of fear appearing on her face. However, she swiftly composed herself, narrowing her eyes in defiance
Meanwhile, Jayden had told the hospital to announce the death of Robert to avoid putting his life in danger and also told the doctor to make sure no one came to claim his body. " I am his only family." He warned the doctor. Jayden immediately had Medeia and Benjamin flown out of Sweint City that night to protect them. He had Amber and Brian follow them for protection. " What is going on?" Medeia asked him over the phone. " Helena has gone berserk. I don't know what she would do to you and the child if she caught you. She might even want to use you as a bargaining chip. Jayden called Yohan '' we need to set the ball in motion. I am sure Desmond and Helena will be out for my head. Have the files with you turned in to the police and have them start an investigation immediately. " Where are you? " Yohan asked " Right now, I need to be with Robert. He has got only me." Jayden replied. As Jayden rushed to Robert's ward his mind buzzed with a flurry of thoughts. The sudden turn of events
Helena looked at him and froze. " Have you been stalking me?" She asked, frightened. " I don't have time to go about explaining everything you have done so please just save yourself the trouble of humiliating yourself. I expect to have the divorce papers by tomorrow. If I don't see it then I would have to send mine." Robert replied, walking out of Helena who seemed lost. She knew there was something off about Robert but she didn't expect him to tail her anywhere she was going. Helena took out her phone and called Desmond. " He has it! The phone and everything we have done." She screamed her lungs out " That isn't my problem. You fix it. You can expect me to keep running towards you every time there is an issue to be solved. Just make sure you have the phone. I don't know how you plan on making it happen but just get it!." Desmond shouted at her.Helena immediately entered her car and chased after Robert. Robert looked at his windscreen and saw Helena was right after him. He took hi
CHAPTER 182" Since you are listening to me, you should know what I want. I have your sex tape with me and I will have it released to the world. I know there are many evil deeds but we would unravel them one by one. I don't want anything from you. I just want you to pay for your crimes and every single pain you have melted out to the weak. " Robert said and cut off the line before Helena could beg him. He looked down and watched how she banged the steering in frustration. Robert knew he had to switch the phone off to avoid being tracked. Helena immediately took out her phone and called Desmond " I am coming over to the Villa and we also need to talk. It is high time we take care of this matter once and for all." Desmond, who felt relaxed that his plans were beginning to hatch felt agitated once more. He needed to wrap things up in time but it looks like the time was against him. He was the killer of Medeia's mother and had all of her weakening from her immediately when she died. H
CHAPTER 181With Allen and Bella walking out of the picture it was easy for Desmond to make up his mind about marrying Helena. He quickly called her " Hello baby, I will be with you in a few minutes. Where do you want to meet up? " He askedHelena was thrilled that they were going to be finally together. " I will send you the location of the Gracehill villa. You can stay there while I try to clear things up with my husband. This calls for celebration." Helena said as she hung up the line. Little did she know that Desmond was also planning to have her killed and have all the money and will for himself. Allen watched as Desmond drove out of the compound with the promise he was going to make life better for them. He drove towards the Villa and his mind went on how he was going to make Helena hand over the will to him and put everything she ever owned under his name. It could have been easier if his friend, George was not dead.He would have been a great asset. He would just wipe off h
CHAPTER 180" You are really going to leave me after everything we have been through. I can't believe you would just throw away what we have built over the years. Do you think I killed Fiona just to allow you to be with another woman? What am I even talking about. You killed her to take over her properties. Do you think you would have been able to if I haven't been by your side? Now that things are going so well for us you then decide to get married to that whore. I won't sit back and watch you leave me alone. " Allen shouted at him.Desmond looked at her and rubbed his hands over his hair. He was having a lot to deal with within a limited space of time. He had a lot of blood on his hands. He alone had killed Theodore, Sir Benjamin and even killed his first white all because of money. It looks like everything was catching up to him at once and his secret was about to be in the open.Desmond stood there, his mind racing as he tried to process everything that was happening. His careful
CHAPTER 179 The room was tense as everyone kept quiet. Jayden looked at them " Can you both ddo do do do o something? She asked you a question and it demands an answer. " He shouted at Desmond, who was now shivering. " it looks like you have a lot of secrets in your family. I guess you don't mind us finding out by ourselves." Jayden grabbed Medeia's hand and they both walked out on them. Bella looked at her parent again. " Can someone tell me what is going on right now I don't understand. Medeia just asked you both a simple question. Are you really her parents?" Desmond looked at Allen and both of them knew it was only a matter of time before she finds out. They had tried to bury the secret and bribe as many people who knew about it. " Ask your mother. " Desmond said getting up from his seat. He picked up his phone and called someone who he thinks can help with covering the matter from escalating.Bella walked closer to her mother changing her seat. " Are you Medeia's biological
CHAPTER 178" What is the matter Medeia? " Desmond asked over the call. He was having a lot on his plate at the moment and wasn't ready to add another to it. " I am coming right now to the mansion. I need to see you and Mother. " She looked at Jayden's face. " Are you sure all is fine? you can just talk to me over here and we can settle it. " Desmond replied." I just said I can't say it over the phone. I need to see you and Mother before I can ask you anything ." She replied." Alright. I will be seeing you soon then. " Desmond replied cutting the line. Jayden changed course and headed towards the Moore's villa. he drove into the compound and walked out to open the door for Medeia. " You need to play it cool or we won't get to the bottom of this," Jayden warned her trying to make her calm. As they strode into the house, they met Bella who also drove into the compound. " Well, Well, who do we have here? Did you get lost or something? " She said with a smirk." You are stupid if yo
