Rise of Jayden Fernando Chapter 14
Fiona knew it would be hard for Carina to believe her. She moved closer to her, and showed her a mark."I know you won't believe me, but here," she bent her head, "the mark you left me, after hitting my forehead with a stone."Carina shook her head, not wanting to believe her. "It cannot be.""It is true, Marina."That name sent shivers down her spine. It was the combination of Margaret, and Carina. It was given to them in school, after they paired to write a project."It's really you!" She could not hold it anymore, she ran into her embrace. They stayed in each other's arms for what seemed to be till eternity."I was saved by Mr. Fernando, the owner of Fernando's Intl. I'm working as a manager in his company, which is now handled by his son," she said, after they say down. "How about you? Where do you work?"Carina sighed, "I used to work at Meldives Mall.""What do you mean by 'used to'"?"I was fired. Today."Carina told her how they managed to survive, and how hard it was to cope

They saw their mother sitting on the floor with pictures scattered around her. The room reeked alcohol. She had been staring at the old pictures—her two daughters, and husband. She had lost two people at the same time.She was still in deep thoughts when the ladies arrived. They were shocked to see their mother drinking. Carina had been with her mother for years, but she had never seen her drinking alcohol."Mother."The woman turned, and stared at them with wide eyes. She did not expect to see Carina, neither did she think she would drink much. From a sip to a few glasses."Ca… Carina, you are home! Is it already closing hours?" She said, hiding the bottle behind her back."It is almost 10pm, mother!" She walked in, looking around the house, as if there was someone else in, "is this what you do when I'm away? Everyday, I work my ass out, just to provide the bills for you to get well. When did you even start drinking?" Carina half yelled. "I… I am sorry, my child. It was never intent

"Son of a bitch!" Jayden mumbled. He glared at the picture so hard that if eyes could burn, the picture would have been burnt to ashes."Any other information?" He asked, seemingly interested in his rival."Not really. Just the companies investing in his. They are about five of them. Three out of five had withdrew their investment in our company."He smirked, sipping his drink. "Have Alex gather the names of the companies investing in his firm. I need it to carry out my plans. I will take back all of them."The butler looked at him, he was sure that Jayden had changed, overnight. "Alright. Is that all?""For now, yes."He left the documents with him, and went back inside. Taking the last sip of his drink, he took the documents again, and began to read through, searching for anything vital, the company's SWOT—strength, weakness, opportunity, threat. He needed to know everything about The Emirates, if he wanted to remain at the top. Aside topping the chart, he wanted to take his reve

"Did you see how he looked?" She said, resting her elbow on the table, "oh! He looks like my dream guy, so handsome."The other workers stared at her, and bursted into laughter. "Keep dreaming, Tory. He would never spare you a glance."From a statement, it proceeded to a conversation. "But, wait! Did you see the way he looked at her?" Tory said."At who?" The other girl replied, looking around, carelessly."At the receptionist, idiot!""Oh, you're right. Do you think they know each other?"Carina noticed how they stared at her, which made her uncomfortable. It was just her first day at work, and she was already having enemies."Don't mind them, that's what they do—gossip around, like they don't have loads of work to do. Just ignore them."Sonia had noticed how uncomfortable Carina felt when Tory, and her group were boring holes on her, with their eyes.She would get used to their character, soon."But what did I do? I mean, it's my first day, and they are already gossiping about me?

Fiona had a bad feeling about the call. She had just received a call from the CEO. To confirm her instinct, she could not find Carina in her office. She went to his office, immediately. He ushered her in, after she had knocked."Sit."She obeyed, and took a seat. Her fingers were crossed, and her palms, sweaty."You said the new girl is your sister, right?" He asked."Yes, sir. She is.""Why is she here?"The question sounded funny to Fiona, but she dared not to laugh. Of course, she was here to work."She was fired, and since the company needed a receptionist, she applied for the job.""Did she tell you her reasons for being here? Did you tell the rules of the company?""She has not told me anything, sir. And yes, I had informed her about the rules."She didn't understand why he was asking her such questions. "Most importantly, did you tell her that no one talks back at me?" 'Oh, no. What have you done, Carina?' she said, inwardly."I'm sure you did not. If you did, she would not

"Are the documents ready?" Jayden asked over the phone, walking out of his office."Yes, sir. Everything is set." The person replied from the other end."I will be there, shortly."It was his first meeting with Company X—one of the companies he planned to sign a contract with, and make them withdraw their investment from The Emirates.He took his private elevator down, continually checking for updates."They have arrived, boss."It was a text from one of his men. He had ordered him to give him updates on whatever happened at the meeting place."It's just the beginning, Charles."The elevator beeped open, and with both hands in pockets, he walked out."Have a nice day, sir!" Tory yelled. He just turned, and nodded; without saying a word.Carina watched him leave, and enter the car."Hey! Don't you dare think of taking the CEO away from me."She stared at her in disbelief. It was Tory and her drama."When will you learn? Taking him away like he was ever yours," she scoffed, "I would adv

"It is nice to meet you, Mr. Jayden. We have reviewed everything, and have decided to invest in your company. We believe that your company is the best, and we would love to partner with you.""It's a pleasure to partner with your company."He received the documents from them, and read its content, before signing. It took about ten minutes to finalize the agreement, and sign the documents. "Cheers to a new partnership!"He shook hands with Mr. Leo, and the others. "Cheers!""Mr. Charles, we are sorry to inform you that we are withdrawing our investment in your company. We have received a few complaints about your company that can bring a bad reputation to ours. We cannot afford that."Jayden, alongside the two people working for him, made to leave.He stopped right in front of Charles and Stephanie, and smirked, "it's a pleasure to see you, again!"As they left the duo in the room alone, he broke the silence that lasted for a short while in the elevator."Great job, you two. You have

"How did I not know? I am so stupid!" Stephanie said, as she walked in to the house. She had lost Jayden, and now, Charles had dumped her, too.She sat down looking helpless. A few hours ago, she was enjoying the ride to luxury, but now, she was back to the slum."Even if you are poor, once you have self-respect, and regards to other people around you, nothing can stop you from being held in high esteem. No matter what you are in life, never look down on people. Remember the ones who were there for you, when you had nothing. You can't get what you didn't work for, and even if you do, it won't last long."She recalled Jayden's words. Reminiscing about the day she met Jayden, it was at the coffee shop, where she worked back then. He had come to deliver food to someone, and she had mistakenly poured him the coffee. They had gone out a few times, and he had asked her out.Things had taken a new turn, when Stephanie met Charles at a party she attended. She had started to act up, giving Ja

Jayden could not wait to take his bride. Immediately after the wedding was over, they went on their honeymoon.The force of his words left her speechless for a second. "You want to punish me?" She whispered."Of course. For making me wait so long." He replied. And with one sweep of his arm, he lifted her in the air and placed her to sit on the table.She was staring openly at Jayden's mouth now, utterly mesmerized, and he was looking down at her, his gaze hooded, his eyes darkening. He was breathing harder than usual. They were both in the mood, and there was no going back.He picked her up, and placed her gently on the bed, settling in between her thighs.Suddenly he pushed forward, pressing himself against her, while he supported his weight with his elbow.Before she knew it, he had both of her hands in one of his in a strong grip above her head. She gasped at the sudden movement.He leaned forward and took her lips. She moaned into his mouth, giving his tongue an opening. He took

Jayden had only passed out, due to the amount of blood he lost. Alex had called the ambulance, and they took all of them to the hospital.Carina kept panicking, but Sonia and her sister tried to comfort her, but she was not having it.Andrea flew from South Africa, abandoning her projects. She could not make it to the wedding, but after she heard that Jayden had passed out, and was in a critical condition, she left everything and rushed down.They all thought it was Jayden who got shot, and though they tried to act fine, they were praying in their hearts that he should be fine.Nanny Perla and Mr. Thomas came to the hospital, as well, after receiving a call from Carina. They were asked to stand outside, while Jayden and Fernando were taken inside for treatment. Carina's face was covered in tears, some strands of her hair stuck to her face, and it looked disheveled.She didn't mind, all she wanted now was for Jayden to be alright. The doctors assured them that he would be fine, but sh

"You know, I'm supposed to be the heir to all your properties. After all, I am the eldest."He walked around in circles, making weird sounds. His hair was looking unkempt, giving him the exact look of a mentally unstable person."Jayden is my legal son, and by right, he owns my properties. I already gave you what you asked for, whatever Jayden has belongs to him," Fernando asserted, his voice falling flat, his aura, intimidating."I worked with you in that company, so that I can take over and manage the company once you retire. This brat did nothing other than go on an unsuccessful adventure of finding true love. After his failed attempt, you handed over the company to him. Just like that!" Nathan yelled, jealous of Jayden.He had only worked in the company to gain his father's favor, only for the company to be given to Jayden, who initially didn't want the company."You," he said to Jayden, "you took everything away from me. Everything I worked hard to get; the company, his favor," h

Rage burned down Jayden's heart, as he saw the ripped part of the dress, which revealed her thighs."You will do no such thing!" Jayden roared, instructing Alex to track the location.He looked at Fiona, this time, without anger. "I will save Carina. Don't worry, just stay here with your mother, and everything will be fine."He put on a pair of pants, and a shirt, folding the sleeves of the shirt. All that was on his mind now was to save Carina from his hands.There was only concern on his face, he could not imagine what she went through as a rape victim. If Charles was still alive, he would have surely made him pay for the crime he committed.Alex got the location and trailed behind Jayden, whose long legs strode towards the door.Nanny Perla and Mr. Thomas wished him luck. Sonia was there too, but she was not allowed to tag along."We will come back, okay?" Alex hugged her and followed Jayden. He turned on the engine and drove out at a high speed. It was past 7 pm, and there were n

There was a flash of surprise on his face. How could he be his brother? Someone who once worked for him? Someone who cheated the company?It was ridiculous, and if he were ever in any position to make a guess, he would never mention Nathan's name.How could a psycho be his brother? That was absurd! Jayden looked at his father, pain and hatred were visible in his eyes."That explains it, then. You should have thrown me out into the streets, and taken in Nathan, rather than treat me like I was the cause of your own problems! I can't even stand you, you don't deserve to be my father," Jayden thundered, his voice deepening in anger."Jayden, I—""You, Carina…all of you! There is nothing that differentiates you all. You are the same; liars! Here I thought you were really sorry for everything, never knew you were this selfish. The only true family I have is Uncle Lukas, Nanny Perla, and Mr. Thomas. You," he said, jabbing a finger at his father, "are not my father."He didn't wait for any r

The audience gasped in shock. Just a while ago, he was the happiest groom, who could not wait to see his bride, and now, he was calling off the wedding.He didn't pay attention to the murmurings coming from the people. He stepped down, slowly walking towards Carina.Each step he took closer to her made her feel like she was meeting her doom. She glanced at the envelope in his hand, it looked like the same envelope she saw yesterday when she met Nathan."Jay, please, I can explain," she muttered, trying hard to calm him down, but the rage in his eyes didn't seem to become tender.Rather, it seemed like her plea made him more furious. Just a couple of steps away from her, he stopped. His eyes never left her, as though she was going to disappear if he even blinked an eye."You suddenly want to explain now, hm?" He started, "Explain what, exactly? That you are not a virgin? That you lied to me? Or, that you had an ugly past which you hid from me in the guise of being a good woman!" He hu

Stephanie had planned to step out when she saw Alex and Sonia hiding behind the door. She let go of a mischievous smile and went back in. She phoned Nathan and reported her findings to him. He ordered her to send some men to get them. He grinned, knowing that he could even use them better. They were caught unawares, making it easy for the men to get hold of them. Also, they were unarmed, so they could not do anything other than struggle to break free.Just as Carina thought she had an advantage after finding out Nathan's plan, she was ready to come clean.However, her only hope of telling Jayden the truth shattered before her eyes, as she had to sacrifice the truth for her friends.The hefty men brought in Alex and Sonia, with their hands tied to the back. Carina gasped in surprise. She never expected them to follow her."Carina, don't mind them. Go and tell Jayden the truth, don't worry about us. We will be safe," Alex instructed, fighting to break free from the rope that bound hi

Sonia had gotten a call from Alex last night, inquiring about their discussion. She hated to lie to Alex, and she knew that she sucked a lot at lying.Since it was over a phone call, she was able to lie to him, because she didn't have to look at his face.He didn't believe her, so he said he would meet her at CR Restaurant, so they could talk. It didn't make sense to him that what he heard that night kept leading him on to what Jayden told him.Sonia took out her phone and called Alex. She was panicking, seeing that Carina was a few miles away from her, talking to a stranger."Hello, where are you?" She said, immediately he answered the phone."I'm at the parking—""Don't park the car, drive out now. I'll meet you in front of the restaurant," she replied sharply, rushing out of the restaurant to wait for Alex.She kept her eyes on Carina, and she was about to enter the vehicle, following the stranger.Alex stopped right in front of Sonia, who jumped in immediately, without a care to

Carina stared at Alex with widened eyes. This was what she was afraid of. Definitely, Alex would tell Jayden about it, and that meant everything was over.Alex walked closer to them, sitting down on the seat he sat on before he left."Oh! We..uh, we have something we wanted to do; more like content, so I was trying to tell her what to say," Sonia chipped in, covering up the whole thing.Alex knew when Sonia was lying and when she was not. He could tell it by looking into her eyes. There was just something about her statement that he could not believe. Even if he wanted to, it didn't just seem real.First, Carina was not a social media person, and creating content about a rape case was too sensitive. "Yes, yes. She is right, I was…I couldn't recall my part, so I was asking her to help me out," Carina supported, hoping that Alex would believe their lie.He didn't say anything. He shrugged his shoulders, taking Sonia's drink from her. "Hey, give me my drink!" Sonia yelled, punching hi
