All Chapters of AFTER THE FALL: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

After hearing the conversation between Lena and butler Jeeves, Jayden tiptoed back to the living room, sat back on his seat and focused on his phone, frowning his brows to show how serious he is.Jeeves closed the door behind him after Lena took a seat on the bed and headed downstairs to the living room, he got downstairs to see Jayden on his phone.“ She agreed to spend the night here, but she wants her meal sent upstairs when it's time for dinner.”“ Alright then, do as she says.” Jayden stood up from his seat and placed his phone in his pocket realizing Lena didn't come downstairs with Jeeves.“ With the way she said it I don't think she would come downstairs again,” Jeeves gazed at Jayden, who sighed.“ I understand, maybe she's….Beep beep, a notification drew his attention and he glanced at his phone,“ We need to leave Jayden, it's getting late” A notification popped up on his phone from Naoh.“ I’m coming” he texts back. “ I’ll be back!” He pat Jeeves on the back and went back

“ What's on my next schedule?” Jayden suddenly snapped Lena from her reverie.“Meeting with the new Automotive Investor sent by Senior Mr Huxley!” Lena glanced at the file in her hands.“ Is it accurate?” He asked again as she bent down to take a closer look at the files.“ Yes sir!”“ Is he at the company already?” Jayden asked, still staring at his phone.“ Ehmmm, I don't know about that sir” Lena turned to face Jayden.“ You don't know about what? How won't you know about that as an Executive assistant? Aren't you supposed to be in touch with him before the meeting?” Jayden raised his head, frowned his eyebrows and glared at Lena and she slowly swallowed hard.“ I… I don't have his contact!”“ Text Mrs Rebecca to send it to you now! if I miss this meeting you'll have to pay for it!” He snapped and leaned back on the passenger seat.Quickly Lena pulled her phone out of her pocket and called Mrs Rebecca.“ Check the last page on the file Lena, his contact info is there” Rebecca repli

“ What idea?” Lena asked, biting on her middle finger, as she pushed her tray of food aside.“ First these are rules, you don’t get to choose which to use, just use all. First, don’t get close, don't get close to him, try to stay far away from him. And most of all don't stay in his estate, don't spend a night there if not…you might be the next Bella” Tosi snapped her fingers and leaned back on her seat, fold her arms and sat staring at Lena who blink rapidly.“ I hope you get it now?” Vicky asked, tapping Lena’s arm.“ I do” Lena Sighed.“ That's just it, that's the only way out, stay far away from him and don't lose yourself! Be vigilant” Tosi advised.After lunch, Lena head back to her work post after waving Tosi and Vicky goodbye, thanking them for the advice and the information. She walked sluggishly with several possible outcomes flooding her mind. Quitting was one of them, but the thought of being harassed by the bank and the land taken away from her was more daring. I’ll stay f

"Vanessa I'll say this over and over again, nothing will change my mind not my Dad and definitely not your mom or your Dad, we were childhood friends, yeah and that's it, let's it end there nothing less, nothing more.”“ But I was there for you!!”“ Others where there Vanessa, Noah was there, Dad was there, Samson was there too, but there never mentioned it, I'm getting filled up with your childish behavior Vanessa, it's getting annoying!” Jayden points at her and walked out the door.“ Jayden, Jayden!” Vanessa quickly grabbed her bag and ran after Jayden even when Noah tried to stop her by the door, she pushed Noah aside and ran after Jayden. The club were filled up, packed with so many girls, Jayden walked on excusing himself as he passed through while Vanessa push anyone and everyone off her way calling out to Jayden.“ Jayden, listen up, you weren't like this before and I don't know how you became like this…you were loving and gently… What happened?” She yelled, her voice cracked

“ Hi” he waved again, this time with a wink, “how have you been? I heard a lot about you after school but couldn't come back because I was in Dubai, I just relocated back here to Greenville” he took the coffee from Lena's hand, held her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I was so happy when I heard you were doing well!” He kissed her hand again, this time staring deep into her eyes as he did so.Lena felt goosebumps over her and slightly pulled her hand away but Ryan held on. “ I couldn't tell you then, because we were still young and I wasn't that capable of being in a relationship. To be frank! I had loved you for years Lena, so sorry I couldn't say it all these years.” He sighed and took a deep breath, while Lena stood there staring at him in shock, shock to hear these words from the guy she never imagined herself with.
