Olivia's eyes widened and almost popped out of their sockets as she watched fancy cars drive up to them. A blank Bentley stopped close to Jayden and a beautiful golden-haired woman stepped out of it. Olivia could not see what was going on as other strong-looking men came down from their car looking propped for battle. Nova walked up to Jayden and bowed her head slightly. "These are the documents, sir. Everything has been prepared." "Let me have a look." Jayden stepped closer to her, and they stood side by side, flipping through some pages. Elsie could not help but to stare at them, a hint of jealousy stirring up inside of her. Nova was a very beautiful young woman, with eyes like a brand-new day and a stature like she was heavenly made. Beautifully endowed with features that could make any man want to cheat on his wife or girlfriend. Her looks made other women feel insecure and, even though Elsie was just as beautiful, she felt insecure as well. Not that she thought of herself

It felt like sparks were flying between their fixed gazes. Jayden's touch was enough to make her shiver. He finally broke the silence. "Are you alright? "Do you feel sick?" He questioned, wondering if the whole turbulence of the day had caused some sort of reaction in her, setting off a nerve that wasn't supposed to be set off in the first place. She batted her lashes. "What? Oh no, I don't feel sick. It really was just one important phone call. "We can go now, but maybe don't drive too fast," She suggested. He nodded his head and turned to Nova to make sure she had gotten the order. A nod of her head made it clear that he had. Returning into the car, they set off for their destination. Arriving at the said destination, Jayden took his time to look at the place. It was a shabby-looking complex, tall with peeling paint. Its walls were cracked, every window looking broken and dusty. As tall as it was, it measured up to none of the height of a small complex in the city. He should h

Dom Hawkins returned home, his blood pounding with nothing but anger. How dare such an insolent little bastard ruin such a pleasant moment for me? And then he killed Adam Gilroy in cold blood! He threw himself against his couch and grunted angrily. Did he not die at war? How did he even survive the harsh training of being in the military?He was even under punishment at the time so he was supposedly heavily dealt with. How did he survive and come back just in time to save his sister? He had so many questions, but his rage had the best of him. He wanted Jayden dead and nothing more. He took out his phone and dialed the number of the major general of Rose city. The man immediately answered the call, "hello sir? Thank you for calling, I meant to reach out to you anyway." "I would like to report a crime. Adam Gilroy has been murdered and it was done by a useless church rat by the name Jayden Knox. Find him and kill him for his crime!" Dom Hawkins angrily commanded. "I know that name,

A gentle knock on Elsie's door caused her to rise to her feet from her small bed on the ground, and she walked towards it. She reached for the handle with caution and questioned whoever was there. "It's me. "It's alright," Jayden said from the other side of the door.Elsie twisted the knot and opened the door. Her eyes landed on the man before her. She had been thinking about him not quite long ago and here he was now, standing right in front of her.She allowed him inside her shabby-looking apartment, and she settled on her small foam bed while he settled on the floor. She wanted to ask him to sit on the bed next to her, but she did not know how the offer might sound. He might think she would be trying to get close to him or something like that, but she just did not want him to disrespect his military uniform. But she kept quiet and said nothing about it instead. Her eyes landed on his facial features, the softness in his eyes that she had met five years ago had gone. She still co

Elsie was forced to smile. She finally succumbed to the girl's wishes but only with her own conditions. "Fine. But I will find the place by myself. I don't know how this will sound to you but I don't want you to know where I will be staying."Jayden squinted his eyes softly. "What? I don't... I don't understand what you mean."Elsie smiled at Ella and gently freed herself from the girl's hold. Walking towards Jayden, she took his hand in hers and squeezed it softly, "when we met... The way we met, the way our history got intertwined, it was by accident. We should have not done what we did but it happened. "I don't regret it," she saw a spark of surprise in his eyes at her words but she continued on like she had not seen it. "What has happened has happened. I think it's only right that we... Cut every ties here and say our goodbye. "I don't want to know where you are staying no matter how curious I am and I don't want you to know where I will be staying no matter how curious you are.
