Seeing jack made my heart stop. What was he doing here? I never planned on meeting him again and now.
He didn't enter, he just stood there looking at us with both anger and jealousy?
I stumbled back up, and the elevator moved. Xavier was busy smirking. He sure does like smirking a lot.
Jack. Maybe he has a meeting here with Xavier, that's the only reason why he could be here.
"Relax, you look ugly making that face." I heard Xavier say. I threw him a deadly glare, I'm sure if looks could kill, he'd be dead by now.
He rolled his eyes.
"Do you have a meeting with him?" I asked him.
He furrowed his eyebrow.
"Why? you know him?" How I wanted to hit this man. He doesn't know who he was and he was smirking, I thought he knew.
"Uh... no, just wanted to know." He didn't buy that. I was hoping he did.
He straightened his magnificent suit. "I have a meeting with him in a few minutes, and you have to be there." He said.
Nonono, I'm not ready. Does he know the truth? What if he knows and decides to take my Daisy.
"I have to go somewhere very important, please," I said and he scoffed.
"That's not allowed during work time, miss Hayden, you're paying off a debt and I suggest you-"
"Please! I can't see h-" I cut myself.
"You can't see who?" He asked curiously.
"Uh... never mind," I said. I'll have to come up with another excuse.
Soon the elevator dinged, Xavier came out, should I come out too. But then I'd see Jack. I was contemplating when the elevator doors closed and moved again.
Now, I'm regretting not coming out, what if he decides to fire me and then sue me.
I hit myself on the head, I was such an idiot! This building was so big because the elevator keeps going up to only God knows where.
Soon it stopped. I sighed. The elevator door opened. But my heart wasn't prepared for the person I saw.
Jack.
He grabbed my arm dragging me behind him. What the hell is wrong with him?! I stumbled on the way. We reached a place rather than a room. He locked the door.
Why was I here? I don't know what came over me, I slapped him. He clenched his jaw.
"What was that for?!" I screamed at him.
"You've become feisty since the last time we saw, why? Because you've got another dick to ride on? And I'm not surprised you went after him you worthless gold digger." He sneered.
The nerves, I don't care who he is, but I won't let him do this, I won't let him insult me.
I was going to slap him again, but he held my arm.
"Don't you dare raise a hand on me, ever again? Do not forget who I'm. It's funny how you acted like an innocent person but all these while you were and are a gold digger." He seems to enjoy calling me that.
I tried to yank my hand out of his grip, but he was just too strong
"Don't think you can get away easily for what you did." And with that, he left.
Gold digger. I was not a gold digger, and I'm not.
I dropped to the floor weeping. I hated all this. I hated Jack for making me feel this way.
Flashbacks of 2 years ago came back to my mind. That picture he showed me, I know I wasn't the one. Maybe someone was trying to frame me and they succeeded.
If that had never happened we'd probably be together. In a happy family.
All I have ever wanted was a family. After since when my family died.
My birth family was something I could do anything to have. We had a very good relationship, well except for me and my twin sister.
We never got along. We were the complete opposite of each other. While she was ongoing, I was really shy.
She had hated having a twin sister. She hated me the most when she found out that her crush liked me.
She made it clear just how much she hated me, but I loved her.
Flashback
I was drying my hair in my room, well the room I shared with my twin sister Layla. I was 14 and Cal asked me to go help him go pack some things from their attic.
Just then Layla burst into the room. Her eyes were burning with hatred towards me.
"You slut, you always get what you want! You know I love cal don't you?!"
She was misunderstanding this, I don't like cal like that, I swear we were just friends.
"No Layla, you're misunderstanding this, I and cal are just friends..."
"Oh really? I wonder what kind of friends hang out the way you do with him, the way you touch him."
"Lay-" she cuts me off.
"Hold it, I don't need your stupid explanation. Do you know how much I wish I didn't have a twin? I'd do anything to change this. I hate you so much lily, you should know that." She said walking out of the room.
She was going out with mom and dad.
But that was the last time I heard of them.
End of Flashback.
What were her last words to me?
It hurts so much. After that, I never talked to cal again. That was what she wanted so I had to give her my last wish.
Someone knocked on the door, dragging me out of my trance.
I quickly dried my tears.
"Miss Hayden, Mr. Knight asked for your presence immediately."
I forgot! I stood up quickly, I arranged my cloth and hair before coming out.
To see a Lady. "Follow me." She said. I followed behind her. Inspecting the whole place.
Till we reached a door. It has 'Xavier Knight' labeled on it.
Oh God, this was it. He was going to fire and then sue me.
She opened the door and motioned for me to enter.
I entered hesitantly.
"So, you don't know him?" I heard Xavier's voice.
We drove for like 40 mins, we stopped at a huge mansion. I thought we were going to a restaurant or something. He came out and walked passed me. I scowled.Holding Carrie's hand I trailed behind him. There were men in suits, they stood at the entrance of the house but they separated when I was about to pass. Whoa.I quickly passed, entering a big building, some people were arranging the hall, maybe they were going to be a party, I guess."Yeah, this is her." I saw Xavier talking to a lady, she nodded at me and motioned for me to follow her. I raised an eyebrow confusingly before I followed her.We reached a room, i walked in with her. Did he bring us here so we could sleep here? Of course not, why would he do that? I sat Carrie on the bed. "I suggest you go take a bath now." She said.Why? "I'd be right back." She walked out. I slapped my face frustratingly. I moved to the door where the bathroom must be. And there was a bathtub, I'm pretty sure they had kept something inside that wat
My smile grew.I turned around to see Layla opening the freezer and Carrie poking her teddy bear.They were real."I would prepare something for you now and then you'd go have some rest, you look tired," Layla said as if I was lost and found one.I am surprised she does rare."No no. I'd do that myself, go relax, please." She sighed before walking to a nearby chair and sitting down on it.I have lots of questions to ask her, but what she seems to need right now is to eat and rest.Carrie on the other hand looked so good and so much healthy. I am happy about it, but it only got me more curious.Does Xavier know who did this?Grandma. I remembered what Daisy said earlier.Grandma? She was with grandma?My mom wasn't alive. Jack's mother? That's her only grandma. Lots of questions flew through my mind.The food was ready soon enough. I served it on a plate before putting it on the dining table, Layla had gone to take her bath.Serving Carrie, I watched her as she dug in. Soon Layla came
I flattered my eyes open. I was on my bed. How did I get here? I was in the living room last night. I tried catching what happened. But it wouldn't come.I slowly got up from the bed and went into the bathroom, I quickly got took my bath and got ready. Another day of searching. I had to do it.Rushing out of the room to the living room, I stopped when I saw food plates on the dining table, who put those there? I moved closer to it. Opening it, my eyes widened.Who kept these here? I was pretty sure this food cost a lot and it smells so good.You're already lost in it? Did a magical goddess come in here last night? Seriously? What the hell am I thinking?! Now is not the time to think of this like this.I sighed. Maybe all of this was my imagination, or somebody did come in here, didn't I lock the door? My eyes caught a paper behind one of the plates."Eat, you are skinny enough." It says. I recognized this handwriting... It was Xavier's. I consciously looked at myself. I've loosed lots
"Layla?" I called immediately after I reached home, "Carrie??" My voice was shaky but my reply was dead silence.What should I do? I have to tell the cops immediately. I think I should go to their office, rather than calling them. I quickly rush to take my phone and purse, before darting out of the house.I called a cab to the nearest cops center, throughout the ride, I couldn't think straight.Did that man do this? Oh god. My Carrie, she must be crying so hard now. I wiped the tears that slipped out of my eyes.I rushed out immediately after the cab stopped. Going in I knew this was a lot of processes. I sighed. I made a complaint and they had asked me where they had been last and where they were going to.I gave them all the necessary information and just like that they had asked me to go home and relax. Relax? Seriously? Who would relax in a situation like this?~One Week Later:It has been a week. A week since I last saw them. The people I love so much... They all leave me at the
It wasn't Layla, she knows the password to the house.I went closer to the door looking through the peephole. My eyes widened.Jack.What was he doing here?! Should I open the door? Should I not open the door?Ugh! Just hear what he wants to say!No! Don't open the door! Two different voices screamed in my head.I slowly opened the door, standing at the edge. "What do you want." I snapped.I hated seeing his handsome face! Not as handsome as Xavier's though.Seriously?! Now is not the time to compare!"Can I come in?""No. Whatever you want to say, say it here." I know I was being rude but I can't help it, if I try being nice, then I'd start crying, I wanted him to think I was angry.I was mad at him though."Ah. Okay." He said. I waited for him to continue. Did he know about Xavier and Paisley?I was sure he knows Paisley."It's about Carrie." I tensed. He wanted to talk about Daisy. We can't talk about her outside here like this."Come in," I muttered stepping away from the door so
"I'm pregnant and it is Xavier's."What? Why did my heart shatter so much when I heard that? She and Xavier have been together for a long time...Maybe.Maybe Xavier and I were never meant to be. This was all a mistake.But you love him.Then I have to stop. I can't. I can't separate a child from his/her father. I stopped the tears from coming out."Congrats," I said to her and she looked shocked. She was probably expecting more reactions from me."Are you going to leave him? You have to leave him, Lily, I grew up without a father and it wasn't good, it caused me so much emotional pain and I don't want the same for my unborn child." She said in a pleading tone.Pleading? She is such a good actress."Yes."She beamed. "You're such a good person. Thank you." With that, she left.I went back in. "Are you seriously going to believe her? She can be lying for Christ's sake!" Layla asked.Are you okay? The first time she asked me that."Yes, yes. I'm okay. Where is Carrie?" I asked."She was
