"What?" Andrea and her mother said, almost immediately.

"You heard me, right."

What did he just say? Why was he kicking her out of the house, all of a sudden? Did she do anything wrong?

The two women were shocked. They thought he was joking, but his expression was serious.

What changed? A few minutes ago, he was happy for his daughter, and now, he is asking to leave?

"Dad, what…what did I do? Did I say something bad to you?" Andrea panicked.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Imelda asked him, placing a hand on his chest. Probably to calm him down.

"What? You have a man, now. Leave my wife and I alone. Go meet the love of your life!" He said, drawing Imelda close to him, "I'm with the love of my life."

There was a bit of relief in the atmosphere. Her father had a way of making someone get a heart attack, without even asking for one.

He could have just said she should go to her man, rather than say she should leave his house, with a serious expression.

Her mind had already had millions of thoughts

    As Andrea went to her room, she threw herself on the bed.Her thoughts were full of Mikel. She envisioned being in his arms, once again. She deserved an award, for waiting and still hoping to be with the man of her dreams. She was happy that his level of enthusiasm matched hers, as he could not wait to engage her, and get married to her.She was surely going to spend quality time with him, to fill in the days, when they were apart.Her phone beeped. It was a message from Alex. She didn't need to read the message, the moment she saw the sender, she knew what she was supposed to do, next.Jayden was not expecting her call. Not after what happened, today. Seeing her call made him remember what happened earlier."Aren't you going to answer that?" Alex said, sensing how lost he was.His countenance changed. He swiped it right, and placed the phone on his ear, without saying a word."Hi, Jayden." She was not expecting him to say anything, when he answered the phone. She took it upon hers

    Jayden gritted his teeth, as he saw the smile on her face. He couldn't help, but wonder if this was really Andrea. The smile only made him furious."Alright, alright. Calm down," she said.She sat straight, and gave Alex a quick glance. "Jayden, listen. You may not believe me, now, but I'm working on showing you evidence that I did not do anything. I would never do that to you, or to the company. Someone else did it, and I know who it was that took the document. I just need to show you the evidence," she said. This time around, in a calm tone.Jayden just stared at her, as though whatever she said made no sense at all."I want to let you know that I will soon get married."Jayden, on hearing that, arched his brows. She was going to marry, when she had never been in a relationship? Was this another secret she kept from him?"Married? You were not even in a relationship. How's that possible?" He said, expressionlessly. "Oh! I know. It is one of your secrets, and you are just telling us,

    Fiona had watched Carina, through the window, taking a cab. She really hoped Carina would see that Nathan was not a good man, for her. She thought about talking to Sonia. She would tell Sonia what she saw, and ask her to talk to Carina. Maybe, she would listen to her best friend.She dialed Sonia's number, but it was switched off. She decided that she will tell Sonia about it, at work.Meanwhile, Nathan kept glancing at his wrist watch. Carina was late. Was she not coming, anymore? His patience was becoming thinner as the clock ticked.He wanted to keep himself busy, so he took out two wraps of cocaine, from a box he had put in the drawer.He put the front end of it in his mouth, while he lit the other end. He took a long drag, and released it, allowing the smoke to escape through his mouth and nose.It was his daily dose, and it was never complete without a bottle of whiskey. If it were a normal person who took them, they would be dozing off, but he was used to it, so it had little

    As soon as they reached the mansion, Jayden reminded Alex to send the email to Carina, before the next day. "Ain't you gonna tell me what she said?" Alex asked again.Jayden sighed, he had forgotten about Alex's question."Why did you not ask me, when we were in the car?" He said, with an annoying tone."I did!""Whatever. Meet me in my room, later."Jayden left the parking space. The workers had gone to bed, after they had finished the day's work, so there was no one outside. It was dark outside, and quiet, too.Jayden pushed the door open, and went in.The lights were turned off, except the one from the kitchen. He wondered who was in there. He walked towards the kitchen, and found the butler, Mr. Thomas.He was the only one in the kitchen. Jayden wondered why the old man loved to stress himself. He wanted him to rest, that was why he made Alex his assistant."Mr. Thomas, what are you doing here?" He asked, frowning.If he needed something, he would have just asked one of the wor

    If Fiona was not at work, then, where was she? To think that she even left without her. She was still thinking of possible places she could be, but she could not point out any."Hey, Carey. Are you okay?" Sonia asked. "Uh, yes. Yes, I am." She replied, smiling. She walked to her office, and sat down, still thinking.Sonia knew that something was up, but she didn't ask.Soon enough, Fiona hurriedly walked inside. She had arrived 30 minutes ago, and had taken permission from Jayden to visit her mother, who was in the hospital."Hi, Ms. Fiona!" Sonia greeted. Fiona turned her face to meet her, "good morning, Ms. Nelson!" She waved.She walked past Carina, to her office. None of them said a word to each other, and it looked strange. First, they didn't come to the office together, and now, they were not talking to each other.It seemed like it was only Sonia that noticed it, else, Tory would have rushed to Carina, and ask her silly questions.Sonia wanted to ask Carina what happened, but

    Tory was passing by, when she heard what Fiona said to Carina. She wondered what kind of meeting it was, until she heard Carina's words.Interim secretary? How was that even possible? Carina and Sonia were stunned by her vexation. Why was she bothered, anyway? Wasn't Carina chosen by the CEO, himself? Why did she act like they were put to test, and the result was falsified?"What do you mean by 'it's not possible'?" Sonia asked, unable to comprehend what she meant by that."You don't get? Carina only started working here some months ago as a receptionist, and now, she is getting promoted! How's that possible? We've been working with the company, for years now, and we haven't gotten any promotion," Tory said, somewhat jealous that Carina was getting a promotion."So, what are you insinuating now?" Carina asked, resting her butt on her table.She looked at Carina with envy. "Pretending like you don't know? Alright, I will tell you. You are not worthy of this position. You have no worki

    Carina was to start her duty as the interim secretary from tomorrow. She was to be announced by Jayden to the other workers as the new interim secretary, before lunch.Jayden sat down, thinking about what Carina said. Was she different from the other women? If she were like others, she would have agreed to sleep with them, and get the job, right?Wait! Why was he even thinking about her? He shook the thought off, and picked a book.When Alex knew that it was convenient enough to make the call, he took out his phone, and dialed Andrea's number.He told her everything that happened, right from Carina's presentation to Nathan's reaction."I feel like there is something going on between them that Carina doesn't want to tell anyone, not even her best friend, Sonia," Alex added."Leave that to me. I'll try my luck," Andrea replied, and then ended the call.Carina ran to the restroom, with tears in her eyes.What kind of day was it? Everything seemed to end badly for her, except her presenta

    Carina remembered that she hadn't spoken with Fiona, all day. She was also avoiding Sonia's question, and meeting Tory again. She just couldn't stand seeing her face.She didn't know how Fiona would react, but she was her sister, so she will understand. She would just apologize to her, and tell her the good news.She had stepped out, when the announcement was made, so she was not aware of Carina's new position. Carina stood out there for a while, before knocking on the door.She could see spark of surprise on her face, meaning that she was not expecting to see her. She understood why. She couldn't blame her, though.Carina walked slowly, and took a seat, blatantly ignoring Fiona's gaze at her. Fiona didn't say anything, she was waiting for Carina to speak first.Noticing that Fiona was not going to say anything, she decided to clear the silence by speaking up.She cleared her throat, and lifted her head up, a little."Fi…Fiona, I…I am sorry," she said, looking at every other thing in

    Jayden could not wait to take his bride. Immediately after the wedding was over, they went on their honeymoon.The force of his words left her speechless for a second. "You want to punish me?" 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. She gasped at the sudden movement.He leaned forward and took her lips. She moaned into his mouth, giving his tongue an opening. He took

    Jayden had only passed out, due to the amount of blood he lost. 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. She could not make it to the wedding, but after she heard that Jayden had passed out, and was in a critical condition, she left everything and rushed down.They all thought it was Jayden who got shot, and though they tried to act fine, they were praying in their hearts that he should be fine.Nanny Perla and Mr. Thomas came to the hospital, as well, after receiving a call from Carina. They were asked to stand outside, while Jayden and Fernando were taken inside for treatment. Carina's face was covered in tears, some strands of her hair stuck to her face, and it looked disheveled.She didn't mind, all she wanted now was for Jayden to be alright. The doctors assured them that he would be fine, but sh

    "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. Everything I worked hard to get; the company, his favor," h

    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. Sonia was there too, but she was not allowed to tag along."We will come back, okay?" Alex hugged her and followed Jayden. He turned on the engine and drove out at a high speed. It was past 7 pm, and there were n

    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. You are the same; liars! Here I thought you were really sorry for everything, never knew you were this selfish. The only true family I have is Uncle Lukas, Nanny Perla, and Mr. Thomas. You," he said, jabbing a finger at his father, "are not my father."He didn't wait for any r

    The audience gasped in shock. Just a while ago, he was the happiest groom, who could not wait to see his bride, and now, he was calling off the wedding.He didn't pay attention to the murmurings coming from the people. 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. He ordered her to send some men to get them. He grinned, knowing that he could even use them better. They were caught unawares, making it easy for the men to get hold of them. 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. Carina gasped in surprise. She never expected them to follow her."Carina, don't mind them. Go and tell Jayden the truth, don't worry about us. We will be safe," Alex instructed, fighting to break free from the rope that bound hi

    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
