As if considering Jayden's request. "Why?" Jayden asked with a frown. It was unusual for Elena to refuse. Usually, whatever the man asked, Elena would immediately comply. "I still have to be here with my friend. We have something important to discuss. I'm sorry, Jay. I'm hanging up. See you later!" Elena said, unilaterally ending the call. "Hey! Elena! Hello!" Jayden called quickly, but it was too late. The line had already been disconnected. Jayden dialed Elena's number again, but it was no longer in service. Damn! Not wanting to be disturbed, the woman immediately turned off her phone. This made Jayden feel both suspicious and worried. Elena had never been like this. "Who's that old friend Elena met?" Jayden muttered. Jayden, unwilling to be burdened with such curiosity, immediately asked Roy to come in a
In Andrew's eyes, Hans was now just a man who ruined his daughter's marriage. And Hans couldn't accept that. He would fix it and regain his good name in front of Andrew. "I'm sorry, Hans. Because of me, you've gotten into trouble with my family and Jayden," Aria said, feeling uneasy. She had been very worried about Hans for the past few days, but she couldn't contact him, as Jayden's accusations would only get stronger. Aria had agreed to meet Hans tonight, under the pretext of meeting a friend. Aria could only hope that this meeting wouldn't cause any more trouble. "I've gotten myself into this trouble from the start, Aria." Aria, who had been looking down, looked up. The first thing she saw was Hans's captivating smile. "So you don't have to blame yourself. It just makes me want you even more," Hans said without thinking. "I'll take that as a sweet talk," Aria added with a faint smile, raising her glass for a toast. "So, what did you want to tell me, Hans?" Aria asked
And now the cruel man was hugging Elena from behind. There was a fear she was trying to hide. But Elena couldn't lie, and she missed Jayden by her side. That was why she still greeted him warmly, as if nothing had happened. Her love for him still outweighed her fear of him. Deep down, Elena wondered why Jayden would do such a thing. Considering how close they seemed. After all, weren't they father and son? Oh my God! The more Elena thought about it, the more she didn't understand. 'How big a secret are you keeping from me, Jayden?' "Elena, are you okay?" Elena was a little taken aback when Jayden asked. "Yes. I'm fine," Elena replied. "I know you're not okay. Don't lie to me." Oh shit! Elena had forgotten how sensitive Jayden was. She was so nervous she had to take a few deep breaths to calm herself. "It's fine if you still don't want to tell me. But don't be sad like this. It hurts my heart to see you." Luckily, Jayden didn't demand an explanation. "I'm really fine.
Day after day passed, and Elena hadn't heard anything from Jayden. Contact him? Elena had lost count of the number of calls and messages she'd sent Jayden. But none of them were answered or returned. Elena actually knew where he was. Where else could he be if not at Aria's house. The woman she hated so much. But Elena didn't want to add to his pain by going there and seeing Jayden with Aria. At least if she didn't see him in person, Elena could assume they weren't together. So stupid, right? Yes. Elena was truly stupid for loving Jayden so much that she couldn't think straight. A few days later, Elena received news that Jayden's father had been hospitalized. At that moment, Elena couldn't hold back any longer. She went to the hospital to see Jayden. He must have needed her presence so badly right now. But what Elena saw there made her rush away without even having a chance to see Jayden. "No... I didn't see anything," Elena whispered, her voice trembling. With faltering
"Jayden, why are you so quiet?" Elena asked, breaking the hug to look at Jayden. The woman pouted like a child. Jayden, snapping out of his reverie, shook his head quickly and then smiled. "It's okay. But, I think I'm hungry," the man said, rubbing his stomach. "Have you prepared food?" he asked, trying to change the subject. "Yes. I have," Elena said with a look Jayden found hard to decipher. Jayden thought she would continue demanding an answer, but she didn't. Thankfully, Jayden didn't want to argue with Elena right now. Last time, he hadn't even apologized and just left Elena's house. Honestly, Jayden sometimes felt fed up with Elena's overbearing attitude. "Okay. I'll take a shower first. Then we'll eat together," Jayden said, then left. "Okay," Elena replied, staring at Jayden's back as it began to disappear behind the bedroom door. *** Jayden and Elena ate in complete silence. The lack of conversation left Jayden a little confused. Elena was unusually silent. She wasn't
"Now you see the consequences of your selfishness? The consequences of your brazen act against me, huh?" Jayden said, pushing Aria hard, causing her to fall to the floor. It was unknown what had hit her calf, causing fresh blood to flow out. The man truly demonstrated his power to control everything. Aria looked up at Jayden. To her, he wasn't human, but a devil with no conscience. Jayden bent down and pulled Aria's chin to look directly into his sharp, eagle eyes. He gripped her jaw tightly. Aria tried to pry his hand away, but it was difficult. In fact, her resistance only made the pain worse. "You've involved everyone in this. If you'd just kept quiet, we could have resolved this peacefully, honey," Jayden said with a lopsided smile. "You're a devil, Jayden," Aria said, her body trembling with uncontrollable anger. "I'll take that as a compliment," Jayden replied, smiling proudly and removing his hand from Aria's jaw. Jayden walked around Aria. "We'll see. One by one, the peo
"Nobody," Hans denied, then put his phone in his pocket, as otherwise the woman might snatch it by force. Viona was indeed a bit aggressive when she was curious."From your girlfriend, huh?" Viona guessed excitedly, her characteristic teasing tone."If so, why?" Hans asked back. Unexpectedly, this
Viona followed behind the man. "Something like what?" she asked, teasingly. "Come on, Hans! What kind of thing?" The woman clung to Hans until he finally grew tired of Viona's annoying behavior. Hans turned to look at Viona, who was still grinning. 'Looks like it'll be fun to play a little prank
Elena was about to leave, but Jayden held her hand tightly. She didn't turn around, and Jayden's grip tightened."Ah! Jayden, let me go!" Elena turned around, feeling the pain in her wrist.How shocked she was when she saw Jayden looking at her with tears gathering in his eyes."Jayden, you..." Ele
The guests had arrived, and it was time for the event to begin. Jayden was called onto the stage to officially unveil the design ceremony for the luxury apartment building that will be built in downtown Alatha. Applause and praise poured out for Jayden. Elvis and Jane looked proudly at their son, a
