Hearing her mention 'mom' made her suddenly remember what she wanted to discuss with her. She turned her full attention to Fiona."I think she is. The last time I checked her room, she was asleep," Carina said, looking at the entrance that led to her mother's room."Has she eaten?" Fiona asked, and Carina shook her head in negativity."Oh! I'll go prepare something for her, then. She should be hungry," Fiona said, and got up, but Carina stopped her."What?" She asked, wondering why Fiona held her back."Please, sit down. I need to talk to you about something," she said, and Fiona took a seat, fully paying attention to what Carina had to tell her.Carina took a deep breath, and said, "I think mom needs someone to take care of her, and lessen the loneliness she feels every day. It's really not good for her health, because she will have every opportunity to overthink things."Fiona didn't speak. She was trying to grasp Carina's words, and process what she meant.She agreed that Carina wa
Jane had known what he would ask for. Though she did not want to get laid with him, she could not still refuse.She hated to get him upset, because without him, she would be reduced to nothingness. He was like her supporting machine, the one behind her popularity, which seemed to be waning as the days passed by.She gritted her teeth, and took off her clothes, getting ready for the sexual escapade they were about to have.Jayden was one workaholic. He never left any business unfinished. He made his way out of the office, after he finished up the last thing on his schedule."Let's go," he said, and Alex turned on the engine of the car. He was praying that Jayden finished up fast, so he could prepare for his date. He did not want to keep his woman waiting.While Jayden was working, he was browsing the internet, when he caught a catchy headline that drew his attention.He wanted to immediately show Jayden, but he knew how much he hated to be disturbed while working, so he waited for hi
Jayden had not realized that he had been smiling. He was just getting busy with sorting out the files Fiona had given him, when his phone beeped.He did not want to check, but he was curious to know what the notification was about. It could have been a business notification, or something related.Though he had forgotten that he had asked her to send him the PDF of it, he did not think she would add an apology message.Even if she were to add one, he had expected it to be a formal one. What she sent seemed to be written in a semiformal way. He imagined her cute face, and tiny voice, mouthing, "don't be mad at me, please".He could imagine her saying it. It was ringing in his head. The way the message was written, and the way he read it, it was all in her voice.As a result of this, his lips twitched into a curvy smile. He found it adorable and cute, to hear her apologize.Other of his employees had apologized to him, but none seemed to be as close and genuine as Carina's. For a momen
Lukas could not say anything else. He knew his brother too well, if he had set his mind on doing something, nothing and nobody would be able to stop him.Though he was right about Jayden having a woman by his side, it was best for him to still give him some time, till he was ready to get married.He had loved Stephanie so much, while he was still in a disguise. It was real, and Lukas knew that he had never loved any woman the way he loved Stephanie.She had broken his heart, and he had not yet moved on from it. No, he had, but he did not want to have anything to do with women, because, to him, they were only after money.If they were in a relationship with a poor guy, they would cheat on him, and have little to no respect for him, because he had no money.If they were in a relationship with a rich guy, they would only love him for his money, and only care about what they get from him.Lukas understood why Jayden did not want to get into another relationship. He wished his brother woul
The voice sounded really familiar. He tried to know who owned the voice, because he felt he had heard it sometime ago.He could no longer make a guess, so he turned his head, backwards, to see the owner of the voice.Standing behind him was Jayden's ex-girlfriend, Stephanie. How could he forget so easily? She was the one responsible for Jayden's new personality—the reason he didn't believe anymore in love. She was the same person, who came to beg Jayden, after finding out that he was a rich guy.She was really unbelievable! The nerve of her to still show her face.He looked at the table by his side, he found no one on it, so maybe, she came alone, or she was waiting for her lover."Hello, Stephanie."Alex smiled, a wry kind of smile. Seeing her face reminded him of Jayden's unhappiness. Even if Jayden had tried to hide the unhappiness he felt, Alex still knew that he was not happy.He felt anger surging in his heart, and he wished Jayden had not met this kind of lady. He wished Jayd
"Is everything ready?" Andrea asked Alex, over the phone. She was getting ready for the things she had been planning. She was anxious, and just wanted to get things done with.It was the D-Day, the day Nathan's deeds will be exposed, and Andrea would finally settle her fight with Jayden. It was going to be a double celebration.Carina was nervous. Since it was her first meeting, she needed to dress formal. She put on a long black pencil skirt, with a white classy top that she tucked into the skirt, and a black stiletto heels. She packed her into a sleek low bun, and put on a little makeup.She looked at herself in the mirror, as she used the eyeliner to line the corner of her eyes, and then, she applied a lipgloss. She looked at her outfit in the mirror, it didn't look bad, but she was feeling nauseous. What if she failed? What if she could not do it?Fiona came in just in time to disrupt her deep thinking."Oo-la-la! You look fabulous!" Fiona commented, staring at her outfit.She un
He went to Jayden's office, and found him preparing himself. He was putting on his cufflinks, so he did not see Alex.Though he knew it was him, because he was fond of coming into his office without knocking. Alex took a seat, and began a conversation."Guess who I saw yesterday?" Jayden did not seem to be interested in the conversation. He still had a stoic expression, and in order not to look like he was ignoring him, he said, "hm?"Not minding his uninterested look, he continued with what he had to say."You know I was on a date with Sonia, and someone walked up to me. It was no other person than your ex girlfriend, Stephanie," he said, and paused to watch his expression.As expected, his expression changed. Though his face was still stoic, and whatever he was feeling was hidden behind the thick skin, Alex still knew that he was furious.Just hearing her name was enough to get him upset. Maybe, he made a mistake telling him. He did not want to hear anything that had to do with hi
She looked closely at his face, and though she could not remember where she had seen the face, she was not mistaken about the voice. It was exactly the same voice from a few years ago.Could it be just a coincidence?Charles had felt that someone was peering at him, he felt the intense gaze on him, and he decided to let Jayden win the meaningful glare battle.His eyes diverted to the young woman behind Jayden, whom Jayden was taller than, so his broad shoulders, and tall figure sort of shielded the lady.He did not see her face clearly, but there was just something about that woman, that he felt he knew. He tried to gain access to her face, wholely, but this only made Jayden and Alex alarmed.They had not noticed him trying to look behind, until he tilted his head to the right. They turned around to know what suddenly caught his attention, and when they realized that it was Carina, Jayden motioned for them to go.Carina lowered her head, concealing her face, so that he doesn't see her
