CHAPTER 63The door was opened as Salome looked at Jayden standing before him. " Good morning young master." " Morning Salome," Jayden said cooly, walking into the mansion with Amber beside him. Yohan walked out of Sir Benjamin's study chamber and saw Jayden. " I wasn't expecting to see you back, but it's a good thing you are here. Why don't you see your Grandfather and talk things through with him? I am sure you both have a lot of catching up to do but you both are difficult beings and would never set aside your egos. I believe conversation is the best answer to solving all of this." Jayden looked at Yohan and said nothing. "Please, pack my things. We leave in thirty minutes." Amber rushed into Jayden's room to get his things packed. She was dumbstruck when she entered. "oh smoke! Which and what should I have to pack?" Amber was mesmerized by what she was seeing. Jayden's room was simple yet cozy and jam-packed with lots of shoes, and outfits. Amber looked around before she starte
CHAPTER 64Jayden stood in the now silent boardroom, the weight of his grandfather's words hanging in the air. The tension was palpable as the board members exchanged uneasy glances. Sir Thompson, sitting beside Jayden, placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder."Jayden," Sir Thompson whispered, "you need to confront your grandfather. This can't go on like this."Taking a deep breath, Jayden excused himself from the boardroom and headed towards Sir Benjamin's study. As he pushed open the heavy door, he found his grandfather staring out the window, lost in thought."Grandfather," Jayden began, his voice firm yet filled with a sense of desperation. "We can't keep avoiding this. I need to know why you want me to step down. I've dedicated my life to this company, and I won't let it be taken away without a valid reason."Sir Benjamin turned to face Jayden, his eyes reflecting a mixture of frustration and disappointment. "Jayden, it's not about the company. It's about you. You are always goi
CHAPTER 65Jayden went back to his villa to let off some steam. Amber looked at him, "It looks like your grandfather is not pleased about your marriage to the Moore family. What do you plan on doing boss?" " What do you mean by that? I am not leaving my wife because of some inheritance. I am standing by her through thick and thin. That was the vow I took when I married her and I am not breaking the vow. Not now and not later on." Amber sank into the chair beside Jayden. It looked as if they were back to zero point. Jayden was down and wondered how he would start afresh. " What do you say about starting your own company? Boss." Amber said jokingly trying to lighten the mood.But Jayden saw sense in what Amber had just said. He was financially buoyant and could be able to sponsor himself into what would be profitable for him. " Why didn't I think of that?" Jayden pondered Amber's suggestion, realizing that starting his own company could indeed be a viable solution. The more he though
CHAPTER 66The news of Jayden starting his own company spread like wildfire. The Wills think Jayden is a joke and a spoilt brat while the Moore families were trying to solve their own problems. It was a different phase for each family in the Sweint country. Jayden got home and went through the proposal he saw in front of him. " This has got to work. I can't imagine being mocked at the end of this all." Jayden looked at his wristwatch and decided to rest. " it going to be a long day." he murmured to himself.The chirping sound of the bird woke him up. Jayden looked at the time and jumped out of bed.He heard Amber's knock on the door, " Mr. Jayden, we are late for the meeting we are having with Mr Randulf. He is a man of principle and sticks to his time. We need to keep up with time or we ain't getting far with any of this." she said, as she walked in.Jayden nodded and got out of bed. " Give me some minutes, I will be down with you and see to it that I get a new maid. I miss Salome
CHAPTER 67Baron got back home and sat down thinking about his life and how he turned Cassie's offer down. Andrew entered and saw Baron was brooding. " I can see you still ain't over, Bella. You should move on with your life as it is a good thing you know she is not the woman meant for you. I can see you have severe business ties with Desmond Moore and that is what a Wills does to anyone who looks down on us. You should feel better after being alone." " She is pregnant, Dad." Baron said, looking at Andrew in the face. " Oh, Christ! Did she tell you that? I mean, knowing the Moore and their deal is quite shady. But if she is truly pregnant then that is a new level and a lot of shit. She embraced you in front of everyone for Christ's sake. We, taking her back is a big slap on the Wills. But what do you plan on doing?" " I don't know Dad, like what the fuck am I supposed to do? She is carrying my child and all of this is messed up. I had to drop the lawsuit filed against her. I mean,
CHAPTER 68Bella called Woody and told her about Baron's offer. " Are you truly pregnant girl?" " Of course not. Dad has been trying to build his business back with the Wills and I think I need to play my part in making sure that works out. Baron dropped the lawsuit against me." Bella said with a smile." Woah! The child thing worked then. How do you plan on making sure he believes that you are truly pregnant? Do you have any plan in mind?" " I am not sure. I think I need to first try and make sure my mother is fine and also help my father get his business back on track. I will see you later today."As Bella thought about her next moves, she knew that maintaining the facade of pregnancy was crucial for her plan to succeed. She decided to visit her mother, Allen, who was still recovering from the traumatic events that unfolded in the Moore family.Upon entering her mother's room, Bella found Allen sitting by the window, lost in her thoughts. "Mom, how are you feeling?" Bella asked, c
CHAPTER 69The news of Jayden starting a business was the talk of the town. The sweint city bubbled with anticipation of what would become of him. Many had believed he wouldn't go far without the backing of Sir Benjamin but Jayden was ready to show them he could do without the Gracehill name. Sir Benjamin sat down in his study room looking at the newsflash on his tabloid, he groaned softly as he still felt the pain of the stabbed wound. He saw Jayden recently made a huge deal with Mr Randulf who was their arch-enemy in the business corporation. Sir Benjamin muttered a word he only could hear.Yohan came into his study room and saw he was disturbed, " Are you alright sir?" Sir Benjamin looked at him, " Get me a glass of water Yohan."Yohan looked at him and saw he was reading about Jayden. He stylishly decided to say a little in favor of him, " Master Jayden had been worried since your bed-ridden days and he was only trying to make sure he filled the void you left behind. I don't bel
CHAPTER 70Desmond Moore walked into the hospital to see his wife was getting better. " What would I have done if you had gone and left me alone in this cold world?" he said with a drop of tears falling off his face." I am not going anywhere and it looks like Bella is starting to change. Baron Wills had dropped the lawsuit against her and I think he believes Bella is truly carrying his child." " I don't think the Wills family are that stupid to believe any words coming out of Bela's stinking mouth. I mean, I wouldn't believe her too if I were them. She might be able to fool Baron but I doubt she would be able to fool Andrew Wills. He could sniff out a rat in an instant."" Are you happy about getting your lifeline of business back or not? You should be encouraging her to get her life together and maybe give Baron a chance again. I think Bella is trying to rectify all she had damaged?"Desmond looked at Allen, " Until I see her with my eyes and noticed she had changed then I would be
