Andrea was sure of what she heard. There was no mistake to that; she heard him clearly.He really did refer to her as Carina. Just what did Alex not tell her?"Jayden, it's me. Andrea, remember?" She said, waving at his face.He knew he was up for an interrogation session with his cousin, but it was his personal life, he would choose what to answer, and what not to answer."That was a mistake, okay? I mean, I've been working with her frequently, so I'm used to her presence," he shortly explained.She was even more surprised. When did Jayden start explaining anything to anyone? To think that she did not ask him for an explanation at all."Wait, Jayden," she said. "You seem to have changed a lot. What am I missing? The Jayden I know does not even explain anything to anyone, but here he is, giving me an explanation before I could even ask," she stated, placing a finger on her chin."I don't know what you are talking about," he responded. "Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be with your
Everyone walked in, elegantly and majestically, holding their partners hands. It was the wedding day; an exciting day for the brides and grooms.All the bridesmaids were in the room with the two brides, getting ready for the wedding. The makeup artists had finished their makeup and were now focused on the brides.The color of the day was royal blue and white—a color representing royalty. The bridesmaids wore an off-shoulder blue long gown, having a slit from the hem of the dress to the knee—a little above the knee.Carina's hair was packed together in a band, weaving its tail, and pinning it around her head, making it look almost like a crown. A flower crown was placed on her head, and it was on other bridesmaids."You two look so breathtaking!" Sonia commented."Job well done," Andrea said."Thank you, guys," Natasha added, and they nodded, and left the room, giving the women some space."Wow! Andrea, you are so beautiful!" Carina complimented, staring at the wonderful transformatio
The pictures and videos of Carina had spread all over the internet, and not a single person had not seen them. Whoever had access to the internet was definitely going to see the news flash popping up on their phones.Carina did not like the attention she was garnering, as it would give many of them a wrong perception of her. She loved how quiet she was, maintaining a low profile. Alex was afraid of Jayden's reaction. He knew how much he hated the public, and whoever posted the video was in for a big mess.As he got to Jayden's office, and met his usual expressionless look.He was staring at the computer in front of him, tapping his fingers on the table. His eyes never left the computer, even when Alex came in."Hey, I will talk to the media to take down every—""No!" Jayden said, raising a hand. "You don't have to do anything."Did he hear him well? Was Jayden even aware of the situation at hand?"What? What are you saying? Do you know what is trending now? I remember you don't lik
Carina stared at her in bewilderment. Was anyone in the office engaged? To the best of her knowledge, no worker had been engaged to anyone.She turned to Sonia with questioning eyes, and Sonia shook her head. "Excuse me, please," Carina said, "who is your fiancé?"As she asked this question, the lady opened her mouth a bit to answer, when her eyes drifted off from Carina, towards the elegant man in suit.She left the two ladies, rushing towards Jayden, who had not even noticed her at all. He was with Alex, discussing the dynasty party tomorrow, and his attention was zeroed on the discussion that he did not notice anything else."Hey, baby!" She rushed at him, hugging him tightly in front of everyone else.Before Jayden could react, she tiptoed and kissed him. Luckily, he had turned away quickly, so her lips only brushed the corner of his lips."I missed you so much, love," she professed, smiling at him.Jayden's eyes were not on her at all. He did not even spare her a glance. All the
There was silence in the room, and Carina was still not ready to speak.All she had voiced was in her head, as she did not have enough courage to tell him how she felt. She shook her head. "N...no, sir. I don't have anything to tell you," she replied and excused herself.Jayden felt hurt. He knew she was trying to avoid him, and that hurt him. He wanted to hear her say she liked him, and maybe, he could tell her how he felt too.He leaned his butt on the table, staring at the door from which she walked out. He wanted to be with her. His heart yearned for her, and the more he tried to deny the fact that he loved her, the more it seemed like he was falling more and more in love with her.For the rest of the day, he did not see her. She was really good at hiding. She had tried all her best to avoid bumping into him, but luck seemed to have finished on her side, as she ran into him."You can run away from me, but you can't hide for long, Rina."She heard him speak, and before she could l
She was startled by the sudden action. She had been taken unawares, and her heartbeat skipped, as she could not quickly grasp what was going on.She had no idea who it was, until they finally stopped, a few miles from where she stood."What is your problem? You scared the hell out of me!" She yelled at him, glaring hard at someone she was once in love with.Nathan was baffled by her outburst. She never spoke to him in such a manner, and she looked like she did not even want to see his face or talk to him.Was this the Carina who was in love with him? The lady who would cry over a little argument, and beg to resolve the issue? Was this the same person?"What do you mean by that, Carey? Don't you miss me? I've tried reaching out to you, but it seems impossible. I've sent you tons of messages, but I don't get any reply. You just shut me out of your life like I never meant anything to you," he intoned, calmly, trying to act like he was hurt.Carina shook her head, tucking her hair to her
Carina walked away from him, unknown to her the evil thoughts Nathan harbored in his heart for her. She left like nothing happened, and just then, Fiona approached her."Where did you go?" She asked, looking around."Oh, no.. nowhere. I was just," she paused and turned back. She did not see Nathan there, and it was a relief that he had left the place. "I was just taking a stroll while waiting for you. I was just bored standing here."Fiona did not seem to buy her words, but she shrugged it off. She did not see anyone there, and she did not suspect anything, either.They stood there, waiting for a cab to pass, so they could hop on, and head home. While they were there, Fiona said something that was funny, which made Carina laugh out loud.Finally, they saw a cab, and they went in, heading home. Meanwhile, Nathan had not left the place. He hid behind a tree, watching how heartily she laughed. She really was happy without him? It pained him that she had admitted to having someone in he
Fernando was in his room when he heard a knock on the door. It was too early for anyone to see him now, and he could not think of anybody at the moment.He slowly walked to the door and opened it with a frown on his face. He was welcomed by his brother's sharp stare."What?" He asked, and Lukas asked him to follow him to the sitting room.He wondered what his brother wanted to show him, but he followed him, anyway."What is the problem?" He asked again, but Lukas still did not say anything.He took out his phone, and clicked on a few icons, then passed it to Fernando, whose inquisitive stare averted from his brother to the phone.He was not sure what the images were, but he guessed that it had to do with the trending news of Jayden and a woman.He stared at the phone for a long period of time, pretending to be surprised by what he saw. He needed no one to tell him that his son had found love at last.He had been doubting since yesterday when he saw the news, but he knew he could not l
