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
Fear washed down her face, leaving her skin looking pale like someone who lacked blood, or a person who had been sick for a long period of time.After many trials, she finally recognized the voice. It was Stephanie, Jayden's ex-girlfriend.She could not say a word, her voice suddenly ceased. It was as though the wind blew past her swept her hair to its rhythm, and took away her voice.There were several questions she wanted to ask her, and many things she wanted to say, but her voice failed her. Just when she found the voice to speak, Jayden was behind her. She didn't even hear his footsteps, nor did she feel his presence.She quickly hung up, staring at him in shock, as though she had seen a ghost. She was glad that she was left speechless, else Jayden would have caught her because what she wanted to tell Stephanie would have exposed her.He would have questioned her, and she was not sure if she could hide it from him again. She determined in her heart that if Jayden asked her again
Carina's heart felt like jumping out of her mouth, she could feel the last-minute doom hitting her like a tsunami.Jayden had finished with Alex and was searching for her. Mr. Thomas had told him that she was with Fiona.He had bought her a gift and wanted to surprise her, so he went to Fiona's room. As he was about to push the door open, he heard his name, and as curious as he was, he opened the door and asked what they were discussing.He didn't really pay attention, or else he would have gotten a hint from Fiona's statement. He looked innocent, like someone who didn't know anything.It was just a matter of a few seconds before Carina's secret would have been exposed. They stared at Jayden, eyes lit up in shock."Uh..I, we..we were just discussing something," Fiona muttered, her palms becoming sweaty, because she felt Jayden had heard them."Oh! You two are now gossiping about me, hm?" He whined, smiling at Carina, whose face had already become pale.He didn't seem to notice, or th
It didn't seem like Jayden wanted to bring Carina to meet his father, so Fernando decided to come to see her himself.He didn't inform anyone of his coming, so it was quite surprising that she ran out of the house to meet them. However, it warmed his heart to see her run towards him like a little child, coming to welcome his father."Yes, sir. My name is Carina Bartholomew," she introduced, stretching her hand for a handshake.Fernando, however, drew her in for a hug. He was so happy for the woman Jayden found—beautiful, humble, and respectful.Lukas turned to the other side of the car, where they stood.Carina recognized him, but she was not quite sure of the place she met him. All she knew was that she had seen him before."Good morning, sir," she greeted, wearing a smile on her face."Hello, Carina. It's nice to see you again," he said, "we met at the company some days after you started working there," he added, seeing that she was finding it difficult to remember him."Oh! I was
