Jordan ."Uh, maybe another few days and I will have my proposal back to you" I run a weary hand over my face and adjust my wireless headphones. "I can have the final draft to you then""Oh, good" Sienne my assistant said "You are the one everything has been waiting on and you have talked about how important it is for you to close this deal, so am just a bit worried you have been slacking behind lately and it's so unlike you sir""I know Sienna, i have just been dealing with aloot of family complications but i will have it by then" I close my laptop and lean back in my seat after hanging up. I glance around my home office and just absorb all the good in my life. Am almost closing the deal to own one of the biggest night club in New York city, and i can't afford any bad publicity right now orbi might loose everything i have worked so hard for this past one year.The door to the backyard slams and i can Gera footsteps, Ella shouldn't be back for a couple of hours and i sent Leila away.

Jordan.I woke up feeling a lot of pain, this room wasn't familiar at all. It appeared to be some dungeon or something.It wasn't familiar so it's someplace i have never been to before. The place was illuminated by a dim yellow bulb and i was lying on the concrete floor with nothing but a jug of water left by the side.My legs were damaged, or completely fractured i couldn't move them an inch even of i tried, but they were also covered in plaster so a doctor had surely been allowed to see me it seemed. I ran my hand through my hair and it felt greasy, my stomach growled as i realized that i must have been starved for a long time. Unfortunately, the room did not have even a window so it was impossible for me to guess if it was day or night time. Days could have passed as i lay here in this prison or maybe i had slipped into a coma i couldn't really tell. Everything was foggy for me. The pain in my legs was worse than before when i woke up, am pretty sure someone had hit me in my legs w

Leila.After taking a long hot bath, I lay on my bed sipping a glass of wine as i read some tabloid gossip on my laptop. Ten minutes in i heard movements downstairs through my open door. I sat rigid wondering if he will come say hey.My body hummed in anticipation as the sound of his footsteps got closer, and stopped right behind me. He bent down, his hands on my bed, with his arms stood paralleled to mine as they supported him.He placed his face an inch from mine, his right cheek almost touching my left, he whispered "Hello Leila," his voice soft and low"did you miss me? "" why would i miss you? " my voice came out slightly agitated. He chuckled and straightened away from me "Are you mad that i didn't call you sweetheart?""No, I don't care enough to be mad," Again why can't i get my stupid voice to cooperate with me. I didn't want to show emotions. He bent down again, this time his hands in his pant's pockets. His lips next to my ear, his husky voice teasing me." i might believe

ELLA. "Can you believe that man came here to inform me that he is going to propose to Maria tonight?" i ask irritated as i take a bite of my protein bar."You must be joking," Chloe says mid laughter "he can't be possibly thinking about marrying her this soon.""Do you see me laughing?" i ask getting more frustrated by the minute. "He says his near death experience gave him new perspective on life." i say sarcastically."This man scales new heights of crazy every time, so what did you say to him?""What could I say really? After all he did give me this house, so you and Kyle should immediately move in." i atleast am happy about my son getting to live with me in the same house."So i take it you never told him about your ante natal visit,""How and when could I tell him? You will be accompanying me to my appointment i don't want to spoil his honey moon.""You know i got you girl, and after that we can go shopping for the gowns are going to wear this evening""Why?" I ask now totally l

Jordan . "Hey man, i need to talk to you," Jeremy says as he approaches me."I will go say hello to some of the guests, see you in a bit." Maria excuses herself as she pecks me on the cheek and leaves."So what do you want to talk about?" i ask Jeremy as i take two glasses of champagne from a passing waiter and hand him one."It's about Maria and your engagement Jordan ,""What about it?""I don't think you should propose to her tonight man.""We are not having last night's conversation are we?""As your best friend i just think you are avoiding dealing with the real issues thats why you are rushing into this." Jeremy says"This is my life Jeremy and am not projecting anything, the real issue here is you meddling in my business, don't you have anything better to do than question my every move, if you are indeed my best friend as you claik, you would support me not question me with your theories about processing trauma." i say angrily " I just don't want you to make another mistake J
