2024-10-29 19:42:56"Room 203..."
Dressed in his delivery uniform of black pants, and white shirt, Jayden walked in to the hotel, heading to the room where he would deliver the food.
As he searched his pocket for the room number, he felt the ring in his left pocket, and brought it out.
He stared at the silver ring with so many undefined emotions, while caressing it the whole time. The light illuminated on the ring, and it shone bright like a diamond.
He smiled sheepishly at the thought of the romantic moment with his bride-to-be.
The silver ring was the engagement ring. He was going to propose to his girlfriend, Stephanie, after work. It was going to be one of the best moments of his life.
He carefully put it back into his pocket, and brought out the card in which the room number was inscribed on.
Jayden knocked the door, it was opened, revealing a man in his early 30's.
Jayden greeted him and stretched out his hand, indicating that he should take the delivery.
The man smiled mischievously, he didn’t take the delivery but said to Jayden,
“Maybe you could get into the room? I want to show you something.”
Jayden became more confused. The rule clearly stated that no delivery person should enter into their client's room. In all his experience as a delivery guy, this was the first time he was experiencing it.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I cannot come in. It goes against the rules."
Several thoughts ran through his mind. What could he want? What was with the mischievous smile? He kept asking rhetorical questions.
"Baby, who is there at the door?"
He was jolted back to reality by the voice of a woman. That voice…it was very familiar to him.
“A delivery man! I called for some food, so that I could have energy to have fun with you.” The man raised his voice.
“You’re so bad, the delivery man is still here!” The girl said with a flighty voice.
The man smiled evilly and he loose the door, now the door was opened widely.
The scene in the room shocked Jayden.
A girl with a bath towel was lying on the bed, with her cheek flushed strangely.
"Stephanie?" He called out, wishing it wasn't here. But reality hit him. It was his Stephanie. The girl he wanted to propose to after work… was in a hotel room, almost naked with a man.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, trying to calm his nerves.
"What… Why are you here?" She asked. She was surprised to see him. She knew that there was no point trying to defend herself. It was crystal clear.
"I called him here, because I thought it would be fun seeing your ex-boyfriend being here." the man said with a strange smile.
“What ex, Stephanie, you told you you were studying in the library! This is how you study?” Jayden couldn’t believe what happened.
He was dreaming that Stephanie would accept his propose, they would have a nice marriage.
But now...Jayden felt so painful, he gritted his teeth, his body was trembling too.
"Well, since you are here already… I guess you know what is happening now. There is no explanation for whatever is going on here."
Stephanie said indifferently, as if she didn’t do anything wrong.
“Anyway, our relationship terminated, so just leave and continue to deliver your food now. Don’t bother me everyday, I felt sick staying with a poor guy like you.”
She sneered.
Jayden could feel his heartbeat quicken.
He tried as much as possible not to show how hurt he felt.
"Why? You said you loved me...we would be together forever..." He quivered. That was the only thing he could mutter at that moment. He thought she would tell him it was all a joke, but the opposite was the case.
"Jayden, don't you get? I cannot be with a man like you! I want cell phones, luxurious bags and limit-edition dresses! Not the poor cheap necklace from a little shop!" she blabbed.
“I’m so embarrassed telling my friends my boyfriend is a delivery man!” Stephanie looked so arrogant, but she forgot she was from a poor family too.
Jayden said with a trembling voice, “But I thought we loved each other, we could...”
“Love? The one who real loved me would give me 3000 dollars allowance, expensive make-ups and beautiful dresses, not like you! You only said, but never do it.” Stephanie sneered.
Her words were like echoes of the mind. It kept repeating in such a rhythm that brought more pain, and caused his heart to break.
The man seemed to enjoy the show, and deemed it necessary to add salt to the injury.
“But I gave everything I had to you...the love from a poor man is nothing?” Jayden whispered.
“Yes, if you’re just a poor delivery man, then how dare you talk about love?” Stephanie sneered.
Jayden smiled, he suddenly calmed down, now he knew what kind of person Stephanie is.
“Maybe you’re right, Stephanie.” Jayden said indifferently, "But remember, do not regret your choice."

"Regret?" Stephanie chuckled, "what do I have to regret? Not like I have anything to lose."“Don’t try to brag here, Jayden, I know who you are, a poor, smelly delivery man! Now just leave!” She mocked."You see… This is why I said it must be fun." The man laughed, “A naive poor guy thinks a beautiful girl would suffer with him from the life...”He mocked, “But the poor guy would never know what a nice time I had with his girl while he was delivering the food, thinking she would marry him...Your take out tastes good, but your girl tastes better.”Stephanie slapped the man slightly, “You’re so bad!”Her voice was so timid, but the things she did was not.She hugged from back of the man, the man said, “Ah, I heard that you’ve never slept with Stephanie, that’s too bad, you would never know how good she is...”Jayden was irritated by his words, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.“Oh, our delivery man is going to fight me here?

Jayden woke up the next morning, feeling energized.Today, he must go to his company, sign some documents. Then after his graduation, he would become the CEO of the company right away.He took his shower, and opened the wardrobe to take out something to wear.However, it dawned on him that he only had his delivery clothes in there. He didn’t get time to get some new clothes for now.“Well, not bad. At least I got used to wear it anyway.” He smirked.He drove his delivery scooter to the company, and parked it in the parking lot.The company's name was boldly written, "Fernando's Intl.".He walked in, but was stopped by the receptionist. If there was one thing he hated, then it would be embarrassment."Where are you headed to, young man?" She asked, looking at him with an annoying face.He was wondering why she looked at him that way, until he looked at his clothes. "So, this is why." He muttered under his breath.

Jayden walked in, and shut the door. He looked around in amazement, and satisfaction. Soon, it will be his. The office was furnished to his taste. Simple, yet exquisite!The butler saw the satisfactory look on his face, and smiled. "Just the way you love it.""Hm." He nodded.Mr. Thomas passed the documents to him, and he sat down, took the pen from the table, and the papers too. He began reading each line of the document carefully.He smirked, after reading the document. He flicked the pen, and inscribed his signature on it."Congratulations, Jayden.

The manager had left to use the restroom. She had come out just in time to see the receptionist slap the young man in front of her.She had wondered who it was, and what his offense was, that would make the receptionist slap him.She had hastened to get to the scenario, but halted to check her phone that had just beeped, indicating that she had a message. It was an email with an attachment.She had been informed about the CEO beforehand, but the email she received was a short description of the CEO, as the the heading was titled, 'CEO'.She had clicked it open, and it showed his picture.Her heart sank when she saw his picture.He was the same person the receptionist had slapped. The delivery guy she was talking about."This is worse than I thought," she said.She needed to stop her from causing any further problem. The receptionist turned to tell the manager that he was the man they were looking for, "Ms. Here is the man that broke—" she paused. She just met what seemed to be the sh

He walked in, not minding the weird eyes that wanted to feed on him. He already expected to have another drama unfold. He would not blame them. A person dressed in a delivery uniform, or anything of that class had no business with a bank as this.It was the most famous bank, and only the upper class saved their money in it. The minimum deposit was 5,000 dollars. It was situated in the outskirts of the city. With the number of cars parked outside, and the way the people entered in and out of the bank, dressed in sumptuous clothes, one could easily tell that it was meant for big influencers, and the rich, as a whole.It was a bank that everyone knew was meant for the upper class. It was Bank d'Finance, owned by a group of French influencers, who had moved in to the country, and planned to become US citizens.Everyone, as always, wore their expensive dresses. Everyone, except Jayden.Not like he cared. He just wanted to get things done, and rest. He was already tired of the whole drama.

The cashier was shocked. The manager was a highly respected person, and whosever he is bowing down to, must be someone of high caliber. The people who were present too, in the bank had astonished looks on their faces. He was just a delivery guy to them.Only the Creator knew where the cashier got the courage to question the manager. "Excuse me, sir. Why show so much respect to a delivery guy?" She received no answer from him, so she asked again.Rather than get a response, a slap landed on her cheek. The manager had slapped her. "Do you know who this man is?"She shook her head, telling him expressionally, that she did not know him.He showed her his Bank ID card. She took the card from him, and gasped in realization. The ID was specifically for Senior VIP clients, who had 50 million dollars in the account. She had first thought he stole it, until she saw his picture on it. As much as she did not want to believe that a delivery guy and the owner of the ID card were one, and the same

He was just returning from the party, where he met his lover, more like his sex mate. He hit on the road, driving at a high speed, while the loudspeakers in the car blared with music. He had been kissing at intervals, while driving. He had ran out of control, and had knocked Jayden down. "Oops." The girl in the car exclaimed.He could have just drove past, but he wanted to have fun.He came out of his car to meet Jayden, who was just getting up from the floor.Jayden turned to face him, and was about to say something, but he did not get the chance to, as the guy had already started yelling. Jayden just looked at him, confused. "Watch where you are going, will you? Now, look… you hit my car with that thing. Do you know how much this car worth? You, and your assets—if you have any, is not worth this expensive car."Jayden was very sure he did not run into his car, it was the man that drove carelessly, as though he owned the road. He was the one who drove on a high speed, and almost in

The officer bowed his head, and apologized. "I'm sorry, sir."The thought of getting involved with The Jackson's was something he did not want to experience. He had heard of people's experience with The Jackson's, and he certainly did not want to have an experience. He turned to Jayden, and frowned."Young Man, you must pay for the damages you caused." He said."What damages? You have not confirmed if there is any damage, before asking me to pay. He was the one who hit, and knocked me down. Why should I pay for anything? By law, he is supposed to compensate me, for damaging my scooter.""You better obey, or I might arrest you.""You think I am scared of you? Are you sure you do not want to confirm the damages?" Jayden smirked."No, I won't. Are you going to pay back, or not?" The officer said. He was baffled by his boldness. Was he not afraid of him, or even the rich guy in front of him?"Are you this stubborn? I think I remember you. You were the guy from the party, who did not have

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.

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.

They were asked to stand outside, while Jayden and Fernando were taken inside for treatment.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
