Chapter 31LAYLA’S POV It was my first day of work. I’m really excited. Incase you are wondering, of course I passed the interview. I have all the qualifications and definitely can’t be denied access to work in the company.Tho I would have preferred it if I was close to Hayden. Like being his assistant or secretary but baby steps.For now, I just have to do my work and then proceeds to my plan.After settling in my office which was in my horror not near to Hayden’s own at all, I sat down and arranged the file given to me.“This is just so crazy!, why can’t I get an office near to him” I said to myself.****NOON) I knocked on his office’s door.“Come in” I heard him say and I opened the door and entered closing the door behind me.He looked up and was surprised to see me.“Layla. Do you need something?” He asked me with a serious look on.“I was wondering if we can have lunch together”“No. I have work”“Common, just lunch and you would come back to your work. Don’t be too hard o

Chapter 33BRITTANY’S POV “You seem to be in a good mood today” Andy whispered to me during our first class.“Just shut up and listen to the lecturer” I said to him.“Okay ma’am” he said.Hayden’s mom isn’t so harsh after all. Turns out she was really fun to be with. Our gists were cut off as I needed to come to school. While coming to school, I couldn’t stop thinking about her words and how jovial she really is.My face was brightened up and it was so obvious even Andy noticed it.The first class ended and Andy faced me.“Care to tell me why you are in a good mood?” “So I’m always moody”“No, that isn’t what I mean. You just look different today” he said.“Yes, that’s true” Brenda chipped in joining the conversation.“Guys!” I gave them a look.“Why do I feel like you have a boyfriend and you aren’t telling us” Brenda said.“Do you?” Andy asked his expression changing.“I don’t. I’m married actually” I said in my mind.“I don’t, you guys!” I said instead eyeing them.“Just statin

Chapter 35BRITTANY’S POV There was no escape. Tears started falling off my eyes willingly as I wallow in regret.I shouldn’t have been here in the first place. Brenda made me come here.“She didn’t force you. You followed her yourself” my sub conscious Said to me and I curse him for not been able to defend when I needed it the most.“Your tears won’t move me. Just cooperate and trust me, it wouldn’t hurt” he said and he looked really scary right now.He was starting to remove my dress but I was trying my best not to allow him. Forcefully he dragged the upper part tearing it and revealing my bra. He was almost removing my full clothing. That was when my eyes spot the lamp beside the bed. Without thinking, I took it and hit it on his head. He wasn’t expecting this as he staggered backwards. I used that as a clue and hit him twice. He fell on the floor and started bleeding. I got up from the bed, and as I opened the door to rush out, I bumped into someone. It was a lady. She noti

Chapter 37*BRITTANY’S POV* “This can’t be possible” I kept uttering as I left the room in tears.I got to the living room and the maids looked at me confusedly but I cared less.I left the living room and knocked on his mom’s door room.“Come in” I heard her say.I opened the door and she was on the bed seated. It was obvious she just woke up. “Good morning. Did Hayden call you?” I asked her.“No” She answered looking at me.“Can you call him please? I doubt if he would pick my call” I said.She just nodded and dialed his number. It rang the first time, he didn’t pick.Oh goodness.“Will try again” his mom said and I nodded.She tried again and this time, he picked. “Hello” his mom spoke.“Mom” his voice was low.“Where are you Hayden? What’s wrong with you?”“Mom, I just took a little break. I will come back home” he said.“When? Your wife misses you” she said and I took a deep breath.“I will come back home” he said ignoring the fact she just talked about me. Ouch!“Hayden...”

Chapter 39Without thinking, I grabbed his collar and crashed my lips on his.I disengaged from the kiss when he didn’t make any attempt to kiss me back.Sorrow closed up my throat as I looked at him. All of a sudden, he pulls me closer to me and started kissing me. My eyes widened in shock and not to ruin the moment, I kissed him back.We stopped to catch our breaths and looked at ourselves.I spoke first. “Does that mean you have forgiven me?” I asked.“I guess so” he replied and my face lit up.“Are...you serious?”“You won’t invite me in” he asked instead of answering me.I opened the door wider and he entered. I led him to the couch and he sat down while I stood in front of him ready to pull him back if he tries to leave. “Where is your mom?” He asked.“Her room. We went out and...”He interrupted. “Saw your post” he said and I nodded.“So would you like something to eat or?” I asked feeling awkward.“Why are you standing?” And yes, he replied my question with a question again
