Chapter 119
I wondered how Lord Perry got to know that I was pregnant.
"How's your father aware of the pregnancy?"
"Is he aware of the pregnancy?... I only told Shayne only of the reason that you two were getting along. She must have told my father about it." Jaden said as he stormed out of the room.
I have to stop him before he gets into a family fight because of me_
"Jaden, Jaden stop" I said as I followed him.
He had already entered her room before I walked in.
"Come on Jaden, get hold of yourself and let me do the talking"
"Fine, and You Slimy piece of shit. You better answer her questions or receive a merciless beating, courtesy of my hands"
"Ok what's this all about?"Shayne startled in fear and disarray.
"Calm down Shayne, nobody's fighting each other here. We just want to inquire the right answers to our puzzled questions" I felt happy that I calmed the whole tension building up in the room. "Did Jaden tell you about my pregnancy?" My first question sounded straight, I felt like a detective in the movies I watched.
"Yes, Jaden even cried while breaking the news to me." Shayne divulged in a sharp decisive tone.
"Whom did you tell after he told you?" My second question was right on point, it felt so good being the one with the questions.
"No one, I didn't tell anyone about the news of your pregnancy" Shayne replied as she pulled herself into the bed, glancing at Jaden's fists.
"Then how come father gets to know about it?" Jaden chimed in, with his hard clenched fists.
"Riley was beside me when you called, I guess she's the one that told father about it" Shayne said as she held a pillow over her head.
"I knew it, the sudden gasp and grunts I heard... Riley " He screamed her voice so loud that I was sure even servants outside could hear his voice.
"Where's that bitch? " I followed Jaden quickly trying to make him stop whatever he had in mind to do to Riley.
"Jaden, please stop, wait!" I screamed.
Jaden stopped in his tracks and waited for me to meet him.
"You don't have to do this, it looks childish. We're already certain that she's the person that leaked the news to your father. The best solution now is to make her tell us the truth" "She wouldn't dare deny it." Jaden uttered.
"It's of no use asking her. Let's just go back to our room" I said knowing fully well that Riley's attitude would only worsen the situation.
"Ok, sorry for the unnecessary stress"
It's not like you have a way to pay me back" I chuckled.
"Jaden always finds a way" Jaden scoffed as he lifted me up to his arms.
I knew that was the only way he could pay me back. He carried me back to the room.
"Did I pay in full or you need some extra payments"
"Extra payments would do" I laughed, filled with the thoughts that he might get angry.
"It's fine, I'll have these things taken to the kitchen, when I'm back I expect you to be set for a body massage" I felt so thrilled, because I haven't allowed anyone to massage my body before. He's the first and would be the last I guess. "Ok I'll be waiting" I let out a faint smile watching him leave with the tray in his hands.
I laid on the bed, waiting for him.
"I'm back" Jaden announced as he walked into the room.
I've massaged my father's arm before, it was painful with the looks on his face. I'm really sure it'll happen to me_
"Is it painful?" I asked in fear.
"Except you have bones to be cracked" Jaden let out a mischief-filled smile.
"What do you mean?" I asked in fear at the mention of bones.
"It's nothing, don't be scared. You're strong so don't let your son know that you're weak" Jaden uttered in a low tone. _The mere mention of my son gave me all the courage and boldness I needed even if it means cracking my bones_ I retorted.
"You can start your massage, and please stop using our son as blackmail to make me do things"
"Come on it's not blackmail, it's motivation, real motivation" Jaden divulged. I knew at this point that he'll use it more often than expected after finding out how vulnerable it made me feel.
He began his massage, starting from my feet, my bones cracked a bit as he held my knees pulling it up and pushing it back down.
The massage was quite what I needed the most. Jaden was done with the massage as he wiped the sweat off his forehead with a hand towel. It made me feel relaxed and so energetic, I even wanted the massage to continue until I got tired. "How's the massage?"Jaden asked
"I loved it, it relieved me of stress and fatigue. Now I feel like I could run miles without stopping" I divulged as I stretched my already stretched arms.
"That won't be necessary, I'm always here as your trainer and also your body therapist and also nutritionist" Jaden laughed at his own words. _Jaden doesn't want me to go out or even do anything that'll stress me. He's really turning to the kind of person I always dreamt of having_ "Isn't that too much for you to handle?... What about work at the company?" I asked him to remember the men Lord Perry was discussing with. "I asked for a one year leave from the office, that leave started yesterday" Jaden announced as he hugged me.
_This would make Lord Perry's hatred hit the highest peak there is to hit._
"It's not good, who would handle the affairs of your office now that you're at home?" I asked.
"I don't know precisely but I'm certain Father would promote someone to that position" Jaden smiled.
"What would happen if your leave is over and your position isn't given to you back?" I tried to make him see possible reasons for cancelling the leave.
"I would be the owner of the company by then" Jaden smirked. His words made me feel that he had everything planned and sorted out and bothering about it would only mean disrespect. So I closed my mouth and accepted his words. "I want to see Shayne"

Why's that if I may ask❞
"I want to discuss something private with her"I just wanted to know things about Riley. Making peace with her would be the last card I have to turn before making my big strike.
