Chapter 120
"I'll make her come here while I go downstairs so that you two would have your privacy"Jaden said as he stood up and left.
"Thank you Jaden" I appreciated him for his beautiful smiles, change of mood and countenance.
"Hailey
you sent for me"
"Yeah come sit"
"Is anything the matter?"
"I don't want lies or I'll have your brother deal with you."
"What did I do again?"
"You didn't do anything, just want you to answer a few questions"
"Ok I'm all ears"
"I want you tell me all you know about Riley"
"That's not possible, I'm sorry I can't tell you. If that's the reason you called me then I'm not interested and I'll beg to take my leave now"
"You can go" I saw the fear and sudden anxiety in her eyes.She walked out of the room.
_I would find a way to get these words out of your mouth Shayne_ I said to myself.
You're almost at achieving your life long goals. Remember to tread with caution_ Helena said.
_I'm watching closely, making sure not to leave any stones unturned._ I assured Helena that I was aware of every step I took. "What did you tell her?" Jaden asked in haste. He must have seen the puzzled look on Shayne's face as she walked past him. "Nothing much darling, it's of no use"
"Never mind, I'm even embarrassed that I placed my ears in an all girls matter" Jaden replied.
He sees it as an all girls matter, the very tool I need to keep his nose out of the matter. I thought to myself as I stood up.
"I'm bored here, can we take a walk outside?" I suggested.
"Ok but remember we're not leaving the house" Jaden retorted.
"Why do I feel like I'm caged in here?" I dislike someone placing restrictions on my movements.
"No one's caging you, the outskirts are not safe. Your safety and that of our child is my utmost responsibility. I can't tamper with it" Jaden explained with a soft kiss on my forehead. "Ok fine, we're not leaving the house" I agreed to his plea.
"After you my lady" Jaden pawed his mouth as he pulled open the door for me.
_Jaden loved behaving like a gentleman although he has a dark nature which he knows I've experienced and he wouldn't let me experience it again.
"Where do
you think you're going, you pathetic..."
"You better watch your words or face my wrath" Jaden chimed in, which made Riley startle a bit because she thought that I was the only one standing at my door.
"Let her be, it seems she's familiar with the word 'Pathetic'. You see that word has made you pathetic, what's more pathetic than being obsessed with someone who doesn't even notice your existence. It's better you leave now when there's still a minimal pride left in you. It'll be a disgrace and a big stain on your reputation that you're thrown out of this house"
_These are words meant for her alone. You did great Hailey_ Helena applauded my words.
"It's just time that holds us apart Jaden, when all this drama is over you'll come back begging on your knees" Riley hissed and walked past us.
"She doesn't even know what she's saying, frustration has engulfed her soul. Take a look at her, she doesn't even know where she's going. She's like a living corpse"Jaden mocked her.
Jaden said it all, and I knew she was getting frustrated about the whole situation. I wondered what made her linger in this house.
"Let's go darling, she's not worth your thoughts" Jaden said, as I came back to my senses with a long sigh.
We walked outside to the balcony, the Kitchen head walked close to me.
"Ma'am what would you have for lunch and dinner?"The Kitchen head asked as she bowed her head down. "Jaden's my nutritionist, I don't think I'll be needing your services." I retorted in a respectful tone. "Can I make tea for you?" She asked hastily.
"No need for that Ma'am, whatever she wants I'll get it for her" Jaden chimed in in a serious tone.
She bowed her head down, shame engulfed her because she knew all the forceful tasks she made me do, due to her position.
_Anything not made by Jaden's hands would not pass my mouth_
We sat in the garden, leaning in his arms.
"Wait here while I get the pictures," Jaden uttered.
"How would you bypass your father and his business associates?" I asked in haste, having mixed feelings about stealing the pictures.
"That's my problem, just give me seven minutes and if I'm not back here, meet me in our room." I saw the seriousness in his eyes, he really wanted to steal the pictures.
"Ok be safe and don't get caught" I said as I held onto the phone Jaden gave to me.
"I've never stolen anything, it's my first time so I'll do my best" Jaden said as he darted off to the house.
I hope for the success of this mission and I stand strongly against any mishap or failure_
"Why are you here alone?" Shayne asked in a mild tone.
_I knew she must have seen the tension on Jaden's face which would be the only reason for her sudden questions about Jaden's presence.
"Jaden was here but he said he had some issues to settle, you met him on your way here right?"
Not really, maybe I walked past him without noticing" She smirked.
"Come sit," I said with ease.
"If I'm going to discuss with you, it wouldn't involve our earlier discussion" She retorted in a mild tone.
Fine, there are many issues to talk about, just sit" I beckoned her shy attitude towards me. "How's Silver?"
"He's probably sleeping or reading and normally satisfying me" Shayne laughed at her own words.
"Do you love him?" I inquired from her, trying to make her feel that I really had other matters to discuss.
"Yes on the basis that he knows how to make me happy in bed" Her words baffled me to some point. "Do you love him apart from that basis?" I asked hastily.
