Rise of Jayden Fernando Chapter 41
"What?" She was not expecting such a question. Why would he even ask her that? It was not important, was it?"It's a…a friend, back in South Africa.""So, why do you act up all of a sudden, when this friend of yours call?" Alex asked. He was beginning to suspect that she was hiding something."It's nothing, guys. I lost connection with him, so I was surprised to see his call," she realized what she said did not actually make sense, as she had been declining his calls. "Plus, we had a fight, that is why I refused to answer the phone."Somehow, Jayden felt like she was hiding something, but he did not want to pester her too much. It was her life, anyways. Even if they were best of friends, and worked together, they were entitled to their own private life, and they could not intrude on their privacy."Let's continue. Who is next?" Jayden said. They did the number style, again; summed up to be Annabelle's turn. Again."Me, again?" She exclaimed, glancing at the two guys."Not like we che

"Make sure she doesn't find out about anything. When I say anything, I mean anything!" Fernando stressed the last word.He would only stress on a word, if the job was a big one, and needed 100% confidentiality and secrecy.Jayden walked closer to him, as it was already past 10pm, and his father should be resting.Upon reaching him, he could only catch a few words from his sentence. "...a secret."A secret? What secret? What could his father be hiding?"Dad, who are you talking to?""Jayden! You scared the soul out of me," he said, placing his hand on his chest. Jayden arched his brow, giving him the look of 'you haven't answered my question, yet'."I wasn't talking to anyone important. I mean, I…I was trying to settle an issue. It was urgent," he stuttered, avoiding Jayden's gaze."An issue? At 10pm?" He said, pointing at the wall clock."Uh, it's nothing, Jayden. You should get some sleep, now."Jayden looked at him. He was supposed to tell that to his father, and not the other way
Rise of Jayden Fernando Chapter 43
A luxurious car drove in to the parking lot, as the Fernando's household—except Jayden and Alex, as they had gone to the office, stood outside to welcome him.Fernando stood beside his brother, Lukas, as they awaited his arrival.The man in his late 40's, dressed in an elegant lawn green suit, and with his usual top hat, and walking stick, stepped out of the car.He had not change that much, since the last time they saw him. He still looked, and dressed the same way, just a little advancement in his body, as he was growing in age."Welcome back, Sir."The workers chorused, and beamed excitedly, because they knew he had brought them some goodies. He waved at them with a smile plastered on his face."That's Mr. Fernando's brother. He had travelled for years, and has returned. I'm sure he's brought us the usual goodies," one of the cleaners said to the other workers, who had not seen him before."Take the things from the trunk, and share amongst yourselves," he said, pointing at the car

"What?" Fernando exclaimed, staring at him in disbelief. He recalled how they had searched for them, for years without finding any trace of them. They had stopped searching, when the information got to them that they died in a plane crash, and Peter could not marry again. "Yes, Imelda is here in Texas, with our daughter." He broke down the news."Wait, wait. What really happened? Why did they leave? You didn't tell us the whole story," Lukas said, and Peter could only sigh.Flashback…Imelda had just returned from work, and had gone to see her baby, who was sleeping, peacefully in her room. She stared at her in admiration, and so much love and joy in her heart, and kisses her head, whispering goodnight.Her heart sank the moment she saw her husband in bed with their nanny. He was half naked, only in his shorts, while the nanny—a 22-year-old woman was putting on a revealing night gown, and was in the process of taking off her gown, to seduce him. She had spiked his drink, making him

Peter tried to call her again, but it was no longer reachable. It was at this point, he knew he lost her. If only he had insisted on sending Rita away, when Imelda had brought her in, then, this would never have happened. How was he going to tell his brothers that his wife left him with their daughter, because she had seen him in bed with someone else, which happened to be a misunderstanding?What was he going to do? After years of wooing her, she finally accepted, and now? It all went down the drain.He tried to call her again, but with another number.He prayed that she would answer the phone, because he needed to clear the misunderstanding. His prayer was answered, but not as he wanted it to end."Peter, do not call me! Isn't your mistress available, today? Was I really nothing to you? You kept lying to me, all this time; it's over, now. You have Rita. Let my daughter and I have peace," she said."Imelda, you're wrong. It… it's just a misunderstanding, whatever she told you isn't

"Peter, where is Imelda, and your daughter?" Lukas asked, when he visited his brother.He was expecting to see them as usual, since it holiday already, but he was surprised to see just Peter."They…She…they travelled," he stuttered, trying to find the right word to use. Lukas found it quite strange to see Peter stutter that way."Travelled to where?" He asked."Uh…"He didn't know what to say, and luck was on his side, as Fernando just walked in; he was able to avoid the question, but not for long."Hey, Peter." Fernando greeted him, "you didn't tell me you were coming over, Lukas.""Just thought it'll be nice to drop by. I was going to get something for the twin.""Where is Imelda?" Fernando asked, looking around the house for her."Peter said she travelled with the daughter," Lukas replied."To where?" Lukas looked at him, "that's what I was asking him, before you came in.""They went on a vacation to LA," he lied, praying inwardly that they don't ask any further questions, but th

He followed them to the table, where they ate chicken, and vegetable salad. He managed to act along, while his eyes roamed around the room they were in, trying to find the slightest evidence he could, to confirm his suspicion that she had come here.His instinct never failed. He had a strong feeling that Imelda was in the house. Intellectually, there was no where she could go, if not her parent's house. "Do you enjoy the food?" The woman asked."Oh, yes. I do. It's delicious," he replied, still scanning the room.While they were busy eating, and laughing over the table, Melvin tried to communicate with him, without getting caught. Smart Fernando noticed his intense gaze on him, and turned to find Melvin staring at him.He arched his brow, in a way that seemed like he was asking him what the problem was.Melvin told him to wait.He feigned to have a cough, in order to leave the table. It was somewhat like a rule that no one leaves the table, until they finished their food."Excuse me,
Rise of Jayden Fernando Chapter 48
Fernando could feel his brothers' eyes tailing him as he walked into the house. He could almost hear the questions they were itching to ask."So....?" Lukas asked, an expectant look in his eyes."Give me a minute, boys." He murmured, shrugging out of his coat. "Let me say hi to my son, first."He walked further into the house, not waiting for a response from them. Before he got to his son's room, Jayden was already peeking through the door."Dad!" The boy called out.He watched as the face of his little boy lit up in happiness, then spread his arms wide. Jayden let out a childish giggle and ran into the arms of his father. As Fernando hugged the little boy, he caught the reflection of his brothers on the opposite mirror, the impatient gleam in their eyes."Alright," he sighed, standing to his feet and releasing his son. He turned to Peter and Lukas, eyebrows raised in mild annoyance. "What, I can't say hi to my son first?"Peter let out an impatient sound and grabbed Fernando's arm, l
