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 46The hospital was buzzing with activity as Allen Moore was rushed in through the main doors on a stretcher, struggling for her life.Desmond was fuming and full of anger whilst Bella was overwhelmed with agony. The Moore's were generally not doing great.“You brought this upon us Bella,” Desmond groaned. “I still do not understand where we got it wrong with you.”His eyes were furious. “Just pray nothing happens to your mother,” Desmond warned his daughter, “because if anything terrible becomes of her, you will never smell my countenance any more.”Bella sniffed and wept, drenched in her own tears. Her heart was heavy. She could tell that her family was tearing apart.Allen had been wheeled into the emergency section. She could barely breathe and she was struggling for her life.“The doctor needs your attention sir,” one of the nurses said. Desmond saw worry written all over her face.“Is my wife okay?” He asked while running after the nurse whose pace was too fast.Bella we
CHAPTER 47Jayden's heart melted, seeing Bella in that spot. His heart went out to her.“What is wrong with you, Bella?” Jayden asked, trying to avoid contact with her.She tried to nudge closer to him but he stepped farther. “I am just wondering why you are looking sad.” His voice was gentle.Bella sobbed even more.“My family is falling apart. My mother is terribly sick and we never knew…,” her voice died off in her tears.“Oh… that is pretty bad. I mean, Allen Moore was at a social function a few days ago. When did her illness become this terrible?” He was genuinely confused and concerned as well.“Apparently, she has battled this disease for quite sometime, keeping it to herself,” her voice was breaking.Jayden shook his head. He could not help her and he did not care that much. He was just trying to be human.“I am really sorry for this hurt you feel but I guess you just have to put yourself together. Your family is stronger than that, you cannot fall apart.” He tried to be empat
