Intrigued, I walked out of the kitchen to see who it was, and there stood Stephanie, Jayden's girlfriend. I remained silent and retreated back into the kitchen, resting my back against the cool kitchen sink once more.

Jayden appeared, walking down the stairs. "Oh baby, how could you do this to me!" Stephanie exclaimed, her voice carrying through the house.

"Oh, I'm sorry sweetie, I had to cancel the trip because of my work," Jayden replied, attempting to placate her.

"I don't think so, babe. You've skipped work for me before, why not now? It's because of that witch you call a wife, isn't it?" Stephanie accused, holding Jayden close.

"I had to, sweetie," Jayden said, drawing closer to her and planting a kiss on her lips.

Silent and weary, I leaned against the kitchen sink, my mind swirling.

    Mateo glanced at them, said nothing and handed his luggage to the Airline baggage handler, and then walked into the plane. Everyone gave him space and adjusted because of how he looked but Mateo didn't care. He just strolled to the seat he wanted, sat down and fastened his seatbelt.“ Did he just pass us, looking so unkept and rough?” One of the staff whispered.“ I can tell he had a mental breakdown because of what happened yesterday! It really hit him hard, "another replied.“ It's not surprising to me because he was so obsessed with being the CEO that he made a mess with materials and needed more to clean up his mess!” Another whispered.“ I thought he would quit after what happened yesterday. I saw the way he looked and how he acted when Jayden’s staff threw him up. He looked disappointed and bitter. I didn't expect he would still follow us to Greenville on the same plane.”“Neither do I!” Another reply.“If it was me I wouldn't show my face to anyone in this company ever again” a

  • AFTER THE FALL   Breaking Point

    “ He isn't picking up?” Lena wondered why, “ he just left the Competition hall an hour again,when Jayden’s group were jubilating, why isn't he picking up?” “ You know fully well he didn't win the competition like he expected, it's obvious he left because he felt odd being there.” Vera replied, “I just hope he isn't doing something stupid because of that!” Vera shaked her head on the other side of the phone.“ I hope so too. From our fun day in Dubai, I realized Mateo is someone who takes things really personally, I won't be surprised if he does something stupid!” Mabel added.“ How?” Lena asked, still surprised why everyone’s asking her about Mateo. “ Listen up, he's an adult, he can take care of himself for sure!”“ We know Lena, but why don't you go check up on him to know if he’s okay, at least try to call him!” Angela Insisted.“ I will, just give me a minute! I’ll call you guys back!” Lena quickly ended the call. And placed a call over to Mateo.For minutes the phone rang but no

The Mc said nothing and everyone turned their gaze to the contestants, the board directors and the MC. But still everywhere was silent.As soon as Mateo saw the back design of the car, he frowned his brows and slowly closed his eyes, sighed heavily and clenched his jaw.“ Is he happy or angry?” someone from the crowd standing close to Lena asked her but she shook her head without any replies. The gaze turned to Jayden but he stood there without any expression in his face. “ Who then is the winner?” Someone asked out loud after several minutes of the crowd being placed in silence.“ Say something!” Some of the guests called out to the MC.Others contestants hide their faces in shame and from their behavior everyone could guess it wasn't them. Then who among Jayden and Mat
