Chapter two Could it be more better?Jayden sat on the couch a little distance from Erin's bed and observed her as she dozed off. He found himself grinning as he scrutinized her face in both directions. She appeared innocent, at least based on the soft morning sun that lit up her face among the white sheets. Her appearance really confused him.She had lovely lips, long, thick lashes, a long, pointed nose, and well-groomed eyebrows. Since the previous evening, he had decided to wait until she woke up.He sipped from the cup of hot coffee that the hotel room service had brought him before entering the shower.His phone rang as he was walking into the room. "Theo" was identified on the caller ID. Boss." He dialed. "Greetings, Theo. I have to cancel everything today since I'm so busy." He gave an instruction.But just as Theodore started to object, Jayden interrupted him once more. "Theo, there is no but. For the past two years, I have consistently worked 100 hours every week. I'm going

Chapter four That mark!Jayden was gobsmacked and couldn't believe his eyes. He watched her alight from the car and walk into the hotel. He was about to subconsciously go after her when the man from earlier stood in his way again. He gave the lady that was now almost out of sight one more look before entering the Limousine. He kept mute throughout the drive as different thoughts ran across his mind. He seemed restless and his heart was thumping at a fast pace.The limousine abruptly stopped and he lunged forward and then back into his seat swiftly. Outraged, he yelled. "What's the problem?!" "Sir, some black vans just crossed our paths." The driver reported.Jayden creased his brows and then it became clear to him. "Go out and find out what's going on." He ordered. Many men in complete black outfits stepped out of the vans, looking ferocious and ready for violence. Jayden's entourage alighted their cars too and stepped forward. So did Theodore.The men in black were identified a

Chapter six Who are you?The housekeeper, Mrs Lily, walked to the door when she had a knock and opened it after seeing who it was. It was a stranger. She was shocked when she saw his face. She didn't fail to notice the resemblance between him and her boss's son. "Please wait here, I'll go get her." She said to Jayden and he patiently waited for Erin to step out.As Erin walked down the stairs, she set eyes on him and her heart skipped a beat. Hurriedly, she descended the stairs. "What are you doing here?" She enquired in an upset manner."I'm here to see you. We need to talk." Jayden said calmly, maintaining a dreadful expression."There's nothing to talk about. Please leave." She snapped angrily."There are a lot to talk about, Erin Charlton. And I won't leave until we have a talk." He insisted in a firm tone, one that made her feel under his authority. She hated that."You are in my home, remember? What happens when I report an intrusion?""Dylan Charlton, who is his father?" He

Chapter eight What do I do with the ball?"Hey." Dylan reached out to a girl sitting alone at the school's playground. She looked melancholic and her head was hung low. She didn't reply him. Dylan stepped closer and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You look sad. Did you lost your candy?" She looked up at his face this time around but didn't still give a reply. Dylan looked around before turning to her again."No one has come to get you and you don't have friends to play with?"This time, she nodded in reply. Dylan let out a broad smile, displaying his white milk teeth. "My name is Dylan. What's yours?"She looked reluctant to say it but she eventually did. "I'm..." She looked down to avoid an eye contact with him. "I'm Arielle." "Arielle, nice to meet you!" Dylan squealed happily and proposed a handshake but he got ignored. He didn't mind.Then he took a seat beside her. He spent some good minutes staring at her, making her feel uncomfortable in the space. But she didn't say a word.

Chapter ten. The resultsFew days after. "Ma'am, a woman seeks you." Blain informed her through the intercom. With a pen in one hand, she went through a document and with the other, she held the intercom. She was clearly dissatisfied by the information. She had a lot to do and seeing anyone was the least she wished for."Do I have an appointment with her?" She inquired in a cold tone."Hm...no."Erin let out a slight sigh. "So? You've been working with me for a quite a while now. You know the rules. I'm busy." She snapped and dropped the call.And in some minutes, someone barged into her office. She looked up instantly with a frown. Blain scurried after the figure that intruded her office. "Excuse me, what's going on here?! This is an official environment and you can't just barge in like it's your house!" Erin roared angrily. Her anger soon faded when she saw who it was. She became suddenly weak in the knees and her head throbbed. She didn't want to believe her eyes. "Emilia?"
