“ Where is Jayden?” Vanessa ran down the hallway breathing heavily. as he pushed the office door open.“ Where is he?” She looked around his office then back at David.

“ He just left to meet Lena…, sorry I mean a client!” David quickly corrected himself and continued placing the files on his hand on the table.

Lena? Vanessa asked herself as she frowned her brows, she swallowed bitterly and then took another step closer to David“ didn't you tell him the meeting we have is urgent? Luke informed me he sent you an email an hour or two ago, why didn't you tell Jayden and allow him to leave like that? God knows where!” Vanessa barked.

“ I did, but he refused. He told Senior Mr Huxley what he had to say before he left. You know I can't stop him, I just need to do my job! You can call Senior Mr Huxley instead if you think I'm lying!” David retorted as he turned to the files he was placing on the table.

Vanessa glanced around the office for a while before she turned back to the door. Swallowed

Just go your own way!” Vanessa snapped.“ It is! It's my concern” Stephanie took a step forward, “ you know fully well Jayden doesn't like you why do you keep forcing yourself on him? Listen up Vanessa when a guy doesn't like you and treats you like trash he really doesn't like you. Get the memo and let him go!” She spat.“ What?” Vanessa ran her hand through her hair as she charged towards Stephanie but was quickly held back by David. “Say that one more time bitch!” Vanessa barked.“ I’ll say it again and again! Jayden doesn't like you, so beat it!” Stephanie yelled, frowned and suddenly burst into laughter.“Let me go!” Vanessa tried pushing David off her so she could pounce on Stephanie but David didn'

  • AFTER THE FALL   Return, Rumors, and a Ringleader

    Stephanie stood there as she glanced at Everyone, Jayden, Vanessa and Uncle White. Nothing had changed, just like two years ago Jayden was still the same no difference. The way he narrowed his eyes, the tiny frown on his forehead and the nervous bite on his lower lip. Jayden was still the same and Vanessa was exactly what the information said about her. Always running after Jayden, she wasn’t supposed to be here but here she was acting all clingy.Stephanie chuckled when she saw the look on Vanessa's face screaming trouble. I’m here for trouble myself! She smirked and blew a kiss at Jayden. This made Vanessa frown her brows even deeper but Stephanie acted nonchalant.Jayden chuckled and stood up from his seat. While Vanessa sat there glaring at Stephanie.“ It's been a while!” He raised an eyebrow. “I never thought you would be back here in Greenville!”“ It's been months since we last met Jayden. What do you expect? After years away from home, I'm finally back!” She opened her arms,

  • AFTER THE FALL   The Deal and the Delay

    Jayden leaned down on the chair and closed his eyes, for two hours he waited, hoping Lena would come but she didn't.The sound of Jayden's phone ringing brought him back to reality and he quickly grabbed his phone from the table and checked on the caller id to see if it’s Lena, but to his surprise it was David on the caller ID.“Hmmm!” Jayden sighed and hesitated before he swiped the call. “ Yes!” He placed the phone on his ear.“ Sir, we still need you here, the investor just checked into KD Hotels, he has refused to sign the contract and has been asking about you since we had the meeting after you left. I had to go there myself instead and I made sure I did some recordings on my phone so you can listen to it later.” David paused.“ So?” Jayden raised an eyebrow, even when David couldn't see his face.“You need to be here right now! He has been asking for you and he said the investment won't work if you aren't here. He’s still waiting, please come! I’m tired of explaining” David plea

She kept murmuring silently as she held her breath.The smell of cigarettes thickened, and the steps grew more loud. Each steps made Lena’s heart beat faster but she made sure she didn't move or make her abductor notice she was awake.“ Isn't she awake yet? Did the spray knock her off really badly?” The driver asked himself and slowly bent down in front of Lena as he moves his head sideways to be sure if she was still unconscious. He waved a hand on her face then placed his hand on Lena's neck,waited if she would move. But then Lena did and he caressed her face with his fingers then down to her neck again, he tucked her hair behind her ears and raised her chin up. While Lena closed her eyes tight without making a move.The driver said nothing, stood up for a while and after that he walked to the other section of the warehouse, h
