“My love!” He whispered unintentionally again the words just coming out of nowhere and just flying out of his mouth shamelessly as the elevator doors went open again, he locked his gaze in on hers with dropped jaws, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything to her, she was here, very real as real as the day and night.Gabriella face deepened in light lines of frown as he stared at her, anger began to course through her veins as she stared at him, suddenly remembering every single thing she had been through after putting her out of her job for no reason in particular, her hands tightened into a fist as she stared at him, he just wanted to flex power on that day and she was the lab rat and it was actually sad that she couldn’t do anything about, the fact that she couldn’t actually do anything annoyed her more.The doors were coming close again and Jayden stepped into the elevator wordlessly.“Love,” he called again very tenderly and affectionately and for a moment she almost thought she
“You must be very silly for saying that to me!” Jayden yelled, his voice echoing throughout the hotel lounge, Everyother concierge at the lounge at that time stood in intense silence with their heads bowed, they all knew better than to try to refuse the Jayden Dela Cruz Request, for something as low as hotel policies. As shocking and as surprising as that sounds that was how things worked over there because Jayden’s cousin and best friend actually owned the hotel, so he was more like a boss there too. Funny, but true!Jayden was the only son to the Dela Cruz family and apparently the heir to all of the family’s assets and businesses.After his father died, his mother could not bring herself to just handover all the properties to him, unlike most sons of her friends and business partners, Jayden was quite irresponsible and he knew absolutely nothing about any of the family business.His mother, Gina actually wanted him to take over the company, stop frolicking around town with differe
9:00pm ….Somewhere in Los Angeles ….“Madam!” Gabriella slowly turned to look at her flatmate Jessica who was standing behind her, her hands folded across her chest.Jessica was actually her friend from high school, they went to college together and lived together afterwards. Jessica was actually the daughter of a rich man, but she didn’t see eye to eye on many issues with her father, he always wanted to control and use her for his business purposes and she wouldn’t accept that, so she moved out and came out to live with Gabriella, while still working as a normal staff in her father’s company.She wanted to take over paying bills since she moved in with Gabriella who was sort of struggling, but Gabriella insisted that they pay for all their bills equally and she had no option but to respect her decisions, she didn’t try to throw money at everything, she respected their friendship and didn’t flaunt the fact that she was a rich kid, and they’ve lived peacefully together for the past
Minutes later …The subtle sound of the burning of dried twigs and leaves, echoed alongside the rhythmic sounds of crickets in the bush, the rhythm they produced were actually quite slow and solemn, like they were aware of the catastrophe that had just taken place there.“Arghh!” Jayden muttered lightly as he supported his body with his elbow and gently pushed himself out of the car, he kept groaning, muttering words of prayers, which he never offered before, as he gently crawled out of the car.Just as soon as he crawled a few feet away from the car, it went off just like a time bomb, the whole car erupting in flames.A tiny tear dropped from Jayden’s eyes as he had a quick moment of reflection, seeing that he escaped death by an hair’s breadth shook him further.He was totally weak, coupled with the alcohol and all of the batter and bruise he had on his body, he was completely sucked out of energy, he gently crawled to a safe distance, gently laid back on the floor and gave into unc
“You?!” She yelled snatching her hands off him as she stood up immediately.She stepped away from him dusting her hands against each other as she rolled her eyes at him.“Please, help me” he muttered like life had been completely sucked out of him.“And why should I?! Few hours ago, you didn’t exactly do the same for me!” She retorted, Jayden exhaled deeply as he looked up at her.“Please,” he muttered out of breath, “Help me,”She looked away from him slightly annoyed, contemplating on what to do, help him or not!.For what he did to her yesterday she really wanted to leave him there on the road but at the same time, she couldn’t just leave him there like that.She hesitated a little as her gaze finally returned to him, she moved closer to him and squatted in front of him again.“Look, I cannot carry you, you’ll have to walk all the way by yourself!” She said to him sternly.“How far away is your apartment?!” He asked.“Like twenty minutes away,” she answered reluctantly and his eyes
“I had a fight with my mother yesterday’s evening, she threatened to disown me if I walked out of the house,”“I thought it was a joke, so I left, I was so angry I had a few drinks with my cousin and I got drunk”“I got into an accident on my way home yesterday, I thought I had died but thankfully I woke up this morning,”“I found my way back home, and realized that my mom actually disowned me, she wasn’t joking when she threatened to disown me,”“When I saw her this morning, she looked at me with so much disdain and said she wanted to have nothing to do with me,” Jayden paused as he slowly looked up at Gabriella and Jessica.“I don’t have anywhere to go, My cousin too has decided to join her in this and I have no family apart from them!” He concluded.“No friends too?!” Jessica asked and he shook his head.“I don’t have any friends,” he replied.“Well with your character, I’d be surprised if you had any friend” Gabriella muttered rolling her eyes as she sat back in her seat.“Wait,”
Morning, Next day ….Jayden and Gabriella stood with their hands behind them as they stared at their employer in front of them, who in turn stared back at them, an amused look on his face. He stared at them from head to toe as he slowly stood up from his chair and began to walk towards them.Gabriella already knew what he was thinking but she shut her eyes tightly and prayed that he overlooked what he was seeing right now, he slowly looked back up at their faces.“Is this supposed to be a joke?!” He finally bursted out.“Tell me, where did you set up your cameras” he asked taking a look around as if trying to find something.“Is this a prank video for TikTok, is this what is trending now?!” He asked and Gabriella stepped forward, immediately waving her hands.“No sir, trust me, this is not a prank video or anything, we are serious and we really need this job!”“No you’re not, because if you are serious, your brother or whoever this is will not show up to a job interview with pyjamas!”
“What took you so long to answer?! You think this is your father’s house and you can just behave anyhow?!” Gabriella asked with a sneer as he walked out of his room.“Won’t I get changed Atleast?” he replied and she rolled her eyes at him.“Won’t I get changed atleast,” she mimicked angrily as she shoved the laundry basket in his hands.“Relax! Why are you always angry?” he muttered but loud enough for her to hear as they walked out of the house.“I don’t know what’s wrong with your family members, why they’re always angry,” she retorted and he chuckled lightly as they walked towards the washing area.***“Arghh, what sort of human is this!” Gabriella sighed angrily as she slowly stood up straight and placed her thumb and index finger on her forehead, using the other three fingers to cover her face frustratingly.“What did I do again?!” Jayden muttered,looking up up at her. His clothes were entirely soaked in water like he was just coming beaten by a really heavy rain.“What have you
