CHAPTER 36“Someone tried to take my wife's life and you tell me it is not the man who served her the drink?” Jayden went off on the inspector.The inspector was quiet.“What do you people really do in that police department? You seem to me like a bunch of jokers and I think this is the time to report you all to the highest authority in the state.”“Oh, come on, Mr GRACEHILL. There really would not be any need for that yet. I merely was trying to explain why we decided to met the young man again. His story corraborated twice. We saw no reasons to keep him behind the bars,” the Inspector was exhausted by Jayden's persistence.“So, I become the collateral damage for someone's foolish act and you will not deal accordingly with him? Then fish out the culprit! Somebody is clearly after the Gracehills, after us. First my grandfather, now my wife in an open event. She was disgraced and then I am supposed to ignore?” Jayden's eyes burned like a flame.“No, I am not asking you to be calm, I am
CHAPTER 37Jayden walked back into his bedroom and tore his buttons apart. The world seemed to be coming down on him and his shoulders seemed heavy.He took a note pad from the desk and a pen from his drawer. Then he walked into his tub and sat in the water. He was stark and his heart was filled with pain and agony burned in his heart.“Whatever the heck this is, I cannot take it. I am sure not to let these vampires break me and my family,” he muttered to himself.“What can I do?” He thought to himself, trying to draw a sketch of possible actions he could take against whoever these killers were. He began to angrily jot down possible names:Aunty Hellena, Bella Moore, Baron Wills, Desmond Moore, Allen Moore, Robert, Valentino and Matthew, and his list ended. No other names could come to his mind. He did not get the name of the waiter then he added: Waiter.Then he drew rubbish lines across the names he had just jotted and flung the book across the bathroom into his bedroom.“Damn all o
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
