They stopped right at the balcony and Peggy cleaned her teary eyes.“ Please don't cry.” Loverina didn't know what else to say. Though she wanted to ask the reason behind why Peggy chose to be a housekeeper for Jayden instead of living freely like the rest of her family members. She was supposed to be married.“It's okay. I'm too emotional.” She gave a wry smile and turned to the open space, “The view from here is my favorite.”Loverina knew Peggy didn't want to keep talking, so she smoothly changed the topic.Walking a bit closer to Peggy, Loverina let go of her thoughts and inhaled deeply the fresh air.Indeed, it was a beautiful sight to behold. The exact spot Loverina hurried into the house was finally in front of her. She could see far off from where they stood.“It truly is a lovely view.”One thing which got Loverina's attention was the houses around. They weren't like the usuals at New York. In this foreign land, the buildings were ancient block houses. The surrounding screame
The way her body became totally stiff, it feared her. No matter how hard she tried to move, it was impossible. Not even her tongue. Her breathing too was affected. Doris must have noticed her struggle and asked, “Hope this won't kill her because, we need her alive.” He demanded an answer with his arms folded.The doctor shook his head to disagree with whatever Doris was thinking.“Not at all, sir. It's a rapid paralysis drug. Succinylcholine will be able to keep her until I'm done arranging this one.” He said, pointing to the second injection.“And what's the second one for?” Doris asked like a student interested but honestly, he doesn't even know why he asked. Not like he cared.“This is pentobarbital. A wrong dose of it can actually kill her. So, I need to get the right measurement.” He explained as he picked up the string and slightly struck it.“Hmmmm...”“Not to worry. It's not my first time doing this.” He assured Doris before turning to look at Bethel, “Are you ready to have a
“True. I want you gone but first, I there are things we need to achieve. I'm sure we can get a good ransom too.” Saying that, he walked closer, squatted and grabbed Bethel by her hair. “You damm bitch. Now I remember something really interesting. You have been taking part of your share from your father's company all this years!?”Bethel's eyes almost popped out from the shock.‘No. He didn't check through my account, did he? Not possible. Hell no.’ “What do you mean?” She instantly pretended not to understand what he said. She frowned as if she has been accused and prayed deeply it's all a mind game he was trying on her.Doris burst into laughter.“Oh woman, you really do underestimate me.” He let go of her hair and pushed her backwards. He got back up, digged his hand in his pocket and brought out her phone. With a bold smile on his face, he opened the phone and began operating it. Bethel didn't need anyone to tell her. She can recognize her phone from any angle. The phone Doris was
Jayden got out of the car right after it was parked. If Andrew had waited more than three seconds, he would have missed opening the door. As Jayden began to walk away, he shut the door and sighed heavily.“Sir, would you like me to call the directors?” he asked, chasing after Jayden.They walked in, and as usual, Jayden looked perfect. With one hand in his pocket and his amazing walking steps, it was impossible not to love him; gay or straight.His staff had to be on their best behavior as he walked past them. It’s been a while since they saw their boss, and they couldn’t tell his exact mood. It would be better not to get on his nerves.“Welcome, sir!” one of the staff greeted, opening the door to his office. But then, Jayden stopped midway through getting in.“If in the next twenty minutes I don’t see your proposal on my desk, consider that project gone,” he threatened someone over the phone and hung up.Everyone around pitied whoever it was.Jayden looked over and noticed an empty s
“I saw you last night, sneaking in. Why come back so late?” Nancy Rosie asked and startled Alexis who was lost in thoughts.“Huh?!” She exclaimed in pretence.‘Everyone seems to scare me today, why?’ Alexis asked herself.“Don't even play smart or I should tell your aunt the time you came...” Alexis rushed to cover Nanny Rosie’s mouth as Lily, margaret’s new maid and another was passing.She immediately gave nanny Rosie pleading eyes.“Now you know what I'm asking about, so tell me!” She demanded with a frown after Alexis took off her hands.“I'm sorry about that. Didn’t want them to hear.” She paused.On seeing the woman wasn’t going to let go of her request, she lowered her head after making sure no one was around, “I went for a concept with a friend. If I told aunt of it, we know she won't let me. Or if she agrees, I will be forced to go with at least, five bodyguards. I didn't want that. I wanted to go like an ordinary person trying to have fun. I'm sorry and, I promise not to com
On the table was a basket of fresh cleaned fruits.“There are no servants?” Loverina broke the silence.“Jayden doesn’t like having any. He’s very private. So, I take care of it.” Peggy replied and Loverina frowned.“You clean by yourself?” The question slipped before she could stop herself.On the other hand, Peggy was glad Loverina was just as caring.“Not like I clean it every day. No one stays here.” Loverina got even more furious. ‘How dare he?’ She yelled internally. She clutched her hands and took deep breaths.Peggy raised a brow in confusion. She watched Loverina’s expression and knew, something didn’t feel right. She wished, she had some kind of power to read people’s mind. It would help her understand what’s going through Loverina’s mind.“Here.” Peggy said while keeping two plates on the table.Loverina gently dragged the plates closer after seeing its contents. She examined it in admiration and diverted her gaze to Peggy who was busy dishing out another food.Before Lov
