It was time for the workers to go back home, and Jayden was occupied with work because he had been too lazy to start working in the morning.He had to finish some work before he went to carry Carina's mother from the hospital. He had not told Carina yet, but he knew she would be surprised to see her mother out of the hospital.Since she had accepted to be his girlfriend, he could tell her to pack into his house, anytime soon.He did not have a problem housing all of them, as long as his woman was with him always.Before he finished working, almost all the workers had gone, including Carina and Fiona.Alex had gone to drop Andrea at the hotel so that by tomorrow, she would travel back to meet her husband and continue her work with him.Mikel had gone back to South Africa to continue his business and had asked Henry to accompany Andrea back to Texas.Henry had used that opportunity to meet Natalia, and they planned to get married soon so that she could join him."See you later, Alex. Do
After Nathan left the company, he drove to Carina's house and banged on the door.With the force he used to hit the door if it were a wooden door, it would have broken down.He had been offline, trying to talk to the board members, so he did not see Jayden and Carina's post.He had planned to talk to Carina again and try to convince her. What made him so furious was the fact that she posted a picture of her and Jayden together, and she had never posted him before.Even when they took pictures by the river, she did not post them. This made him jealous and angry.Carina was in the sitting room when she heard the loud bang. She wondered who it was, and why the person was hitting the door that way.She stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door.As she unlocked the door, turning the door knob, she was shocked to see who it was.She froze for a while, and stammered, "N.. Nathan, who…what are you doing here?" Stepping backward, as his burning eyes cut through her skin, she almost s
Carina gasped in fear, watching her worst nightmare unfold in front of her.She never thought that Nathan could be this dangerous as to holding a knife, and even threatening to kill someone."Nathan, stop! Please," she begged, tears forming in her eyes, threatening to roll down her cheeks.He turned deaf ears to her, walking slowly towards Jayden who was still on the floor.Jayden was shocked at first, but he strategically calculated his steps. The minute Nathan was a step close to him, he kicked his hand, using his other leg to kick his stomach.Nathan was caught off guard by Jayden's sudden attack, which made him fall down.He quickly got up, facing Jayden squarely. Blood was still trickling down the corner of his lips.Fiona held Carina, as she wanted to jump in, and separate them.Jayden was not in for a fight, he turned to Carina, motioning her to follow him. In the bit of losing focus on Nathan, he launched at him with the knife.Jayden was not too quick to notice his movement.
Carina had finished treating his wound and placed a brown plaster on it. She looked at him, his eyes were closed, and his head was resting on the sofa headrest.His pointed nose, his long eyelashes, and his sharp jawlines made him look like he was specially crafted by the creator.She could not take her eyes off him, admiring his facial features. Her eyes moved from his face to his chest which was now bare.From his muscles to his abs, he could pass as one of the fitness models. If he were to ever be a model, he would have been the most popular model."Someone is stealing glances at me, hm?" His baritone voice intoned, causing her to jerk in surprise.She was caught red-handed, staring at his body, and there was nothing she could say.Her cheeks immediately turned red, as she smiled in embarrassment."I was only staring at the wound, if..if I had cleaned it properly," she tried to lie, but it was not convincing enough.He smiled for the first time in one hour. Ever since he met Nathan
There was a few minutes of silence in the group. Jayden wondered if he had hurt her. He would have hated himself if he brought any pain to her.He checked every part of her body, making sure there was no scratch or mark.Seeing that she was perfectly fine, he looked at her in confusion, wondering why she was screaming."What happened to you? Why did you scream like that?" He asked, and she trembled, shaking her head."N.. nothing," she muttered, praying silently that he does not pester her with questions."Are you sure? Is it because no one has ever touched you…there?" He suggested, not quite sure if that was the reason she acted that way.She slowly nodded, even though that was a lie. It was just the only way to get Jayden to stop asking her questions."I'm sorry, I should have asked," he apologized, getting off her."No, no. You don't need to apologize, we were just carried away by…" she trailed off, unable to complete her sentence.She felt embarrassed saying it out loud, so she bu
He stopped by the door, with one of his legs inside. He tried to understand the meaning behind the text, but he could not comprehend it.He wondered who sent the text, because there was no name attached to it, and the number too, was unknown.As he tried to think deeper, the voice from the sitting room distracted him from his thoughts.It was his father."Welcome, son."He looked up at his father. It had been almost a week since he last saw him, and the last time he did, he was not in the right mood."Good day," he greeted, wearing his usual expressionless look. He walked in, elegantly, tucking his hands into his pockets.He found his uncle there, too, and immediately, he knew what was going on.For his uncle to be there, meant that his father wanted to ask him for something. "Uncle," he called, taking a seat opposite his father."Why did you call me?" He asked, coldly, not giving any room for pleasantries.Fernando felt hurt. He was his son, but he looked like a stranger to him. He
Jayden wanted to ask him what he meant by that, but Nathan had already started walking towards his car.Nathan could not be right, could he? Jayden did not want to believe him. He might only be trying to cause a fight between him and Carina.He trusted Carina, and Nathan was just a psycho, he could not possibly trust a psycho.He got into his car and went back to the office. While in the car, Jayden could barely focus. He kept thinking about what Nathan said to him.The car suddenly came to a halt. His mind was troubled, and the more he thought of it, the more confused and complicated the matter seemed."Carina cannot be like that. Nathan is only trying to make me lose trust in her, so he can woo her again," he thought, hitting his head on the headrest of the car.Finally, he drove to the company. It was already 4 pm.He met Alex outside and decided to talk to him about it. He was not so good in relationship matters, as he only had one girlfriend."Hey, where did you go?" Alex asked,
Her heart stopped beating for a second as she read the text message. She quickly glanced at Jayden to see if he was looking at her.She felt blood rushing through her veins in an unusual motion, the moment she looked up. His eyes were on her, causing her to flinch like a scared kitten. She felt like he had seen the message, with the way he was staring at her."What's that?" His deep voice intoned, staring deeply at her."Huh?" Her eyes widened, "it's…it's no.. nothing," she stuttered, her palms suddenly becoming sweaty."Are you sure?" He questioned, and she nodded her head, praying that he doesn't ask for her phone.Just as she prayed, he didn't ask anything. He kept on driving, and from then, none of them said a word.Carina's mind was in turmoil; she kept thinking about the message she got, and who sent it to her.Jayden moved forward, leaning close to her. She screamed, clutching her phone to her chest, staring at him with wide eyes."What?" He asked, finding it annoying that she
