The elevator dinged and Hailey walked out of it, covering her ne-ck with her hands. Her face was buried to the floor as she made her way out of the company. She couldn’t afford people seeing the love bite on her ne-ck, where will she say she got it from?
*”See? You enjoy it too. Just tell them it’s from your boyfriend”*
She remembered Charles’ words and she clenched her jaws.
“That jerk,” she mumbled beneath her breath.
Thankfully, she came across no one as she walked outside the company, though she received some weird stares with the way she was covering her ne-ck, but no one tried to move closer to her. That, she’s grateful for.
When she got outside, she met Charles resting on his car gracefully as though nothing happened between them.
“How could he after making me uncomfortable?” She almost yelled out.
“Why are you freaking about it? You enjoyed it, didn’t you?” Her subconsciousness mocked.
Charles glanced at the entrance and a smile left his li-ps when he saw Hailey staring, more like glaring at him.
His eyes went to her hands which were around her ne-ck and he cackled at her shyness. Why was she shy about that?
He raised his hand and waved his hand, motioning her to come over to him.
Hailey rolled her eyes as she took another path, walking far away from him.
Charles frowned. He took fast strides to her and in a second, he was already behind her.
“And, where are you going without me, Cara Mia?” He asked behind her.
Hailey ignored him as she kept walking, her hands still around her ne-ck.
She gasped when she felt herself being lifted from the ground, her arms going around his ne-ck reflexly.
She stared at Charles with wide eyes who in turn winked at her.
“Put me down” she whisper yell
“Why?” Charles muttered as he began walking to the car.
“People are staring” she whispered again.
“So? I love it that way” he smiled.
Hailey looked around and when she saw a few eyes on them, she hid herself on his ch-est till they got to the car.
The chauffeur opened the car as Charles gently placed her on the chair, she quickly moved far away from him, staring outside the window.
Charles sat beside her and the car drove out of the company.
“Baby?” Charles called but there was no response.
“Are you mad at me?” Still no response.
He sighed and brou-ght out his phone and started pressing it.

ROGER’S RESIDENCE***
Layla was in the kitchen with the maid, preparing the dinner. Though the maid was totally against it, she(Layla) insisted that she was doing it because she was bored.
“Miss, I can continue from here alone. You have to go to your room” the maid said.
Layla smiled.
“You can’t be doing everything alone, you know? I have to help sometime too” she muttered.
“Never knew cooking was this fun,” she added.
The maid sighed.
“Can I continue cooking with you this way?” Layla suddenly asked.
“What? No, I can’t allow that. Your mom is going to kill me” the maid quickly refused the offer.
“Not like she cares about me anyway,” Layla mumbled.
“So, can I?” She asked.
“Miss…..”
“May, can you make me a hangover soup? I’m having a headache” Mrs. Rogers entered the kitchen, rubb-ing her forehead with a hurtful look on her face.
Her face turned sour when she saw Layla in the kitchen with May.
“What is she doing here?” She half yells.
May was already panicking.
“I was trying to help…” Layla was saying when Mrs. Rogers cut her off.
“I wasn’t talking to you” she looked at her hatefully.
She stared at May.
“Why would you allow her in the kitchen, huh?”
“You want to kill me like you did to my husband too, right? You want to kill me so you can live your life all you want, huh?” She yelled.
Layla bit her li-ps which were trembling badly.
“I’m sorry” she whispered
“Stop saying that word!! Leave, you don’t know how much your sight disgust me” Mrs. Rogers said emotionlessly.
“Mom…”
“Now, or I’m gonna stab you with a knife”
Layla ran out of the kitchen with tears cascading down her cheeks.
Mrs. Rogers faced May who was almost at the brink of tears.
“If you ever allow her into the kitchen again, consider your job done” she warned.
May nodded her head repeatedly.
“Don’t bother bringing my food to me, who knows if she might have added poison to it” Mrs. Rogers said before walking out of the kitchen.
“This is too much for her” May mumbled as she sniffed.
****
Layla buried her face in the bed as she cried loudly. She doesn’t know why her mother hates her so much.
Because of her dad? She wasn’t the one who killed her Dad, so why???
“Dad, I can’t take this anymore. I wanna die too” she sobbed.
She continued crying till she slept off.
***
The car stopped just as they got to her house. Hailey stepped down from the car, holding her handbag with her, she jammed the door loudly.
She never spoke with Charles throu-ghout the drive and he never did to. In short, the drive was filled with silence.
She was walking to the door when Charles stepped out of the car, he tucked his hands into his pocket.
“Cara Mia, are you truly leaving without a word?” He asked.
Hailey turned to him, an angry look on her face.
Charles sighed as he walked up to her.
“Stop acting this way, you’re hurting me, you know?”
He raised his hand and touched the Hi-ckey on her ne-ck.
“If you keep acting this way because I gave you a love bite then you’re going to make me sad” he said.
“I told you not to do that again but you did” Hailey muttered.
“That’s because you’re irresistible, baby. I can’t resist you” he said.
“Don’t care about what others say, just care about mine. I love you and you love me too, that’s all that matters. I’m your boyfriend so you shouldn’t be shy about it” he muttered.
“Just stop ignoring me, I hate it,” he said.
She nodded and hug-ged him.
“I’m sorry,” she muttered.
“I love you, Cara,” he said.
“I love you too” she replied, burying her face on his ch-est.
Charles broke the hug and pulled her face to his, ki-ssing her softly.
He pecked her forehead before releasing her.
“I’ll pick you up tonight,” he said.
She nodded with a smile before going in
Charles watched as she entered the room before entering his car.
Soon, the car zoomed off.
****
Hailey entered the house and removed her shoes, she placed them by a side before entering the house fully.
“Good evening, Mom” she greeted Leah who was setting the dinner on the table.
“Evening, darling,” Leah said.
“How was work?” She asked.
“Fine” Hailey muttered.
“I’ll be up in my room” she said.
“Okay. Come out for dinner, okay?”
“Yes Mom” Hailey went to her room.
She dropped her bag on the bed before peeling off her clothes. Afterwards, she entered the bathroom to have her night shower.
She returned back to the living room and met Sebastian and Jaime at the table.
“Good evening, Dad” she greeted, sitting down on the floor.
Sebastian nodded in reply.
“Good evening, sis,” Jaime smiled.
Hailey stared at him with a creased brow before finally nodding her head.
“How was work? Was it stressful?” He asked again.
Hailey sighed before picking a spoon.
“What do you want, Jaime?” She asked.
Jaime frowned.
“What’s that supposed to mean? Can’t I greet my sis anymore?” He asked.
“Talk now or forget it,” Hailey said.
“Tch! You should have acted nice a bit” he mumbled.
Hailey smiled.
“Jaime, table manners,” Sebastian scolded.
“I was…”
“Shhhh”
Jaime swallowed his words and pouts. He picked his spoon and started eating slowly.
“Jaime, don’t bother Hailey anymore, okay? If you need anything, just let us know” Leah said.
“Mom, he’s my brother, okay? I don’t mind spending all my money on him” Hailey said.
Jaime smiled.
“Hailey is the best!” He raised his spoon high.
Sebastian shook his head while laughing.
There was a sudden knock on the door and they all exchanged glances.
“I’ll check,” Jaime said.
“No!” Hailey quickly shouted. What if that was Charles?
They all looked at her.
“I mean, I’ll do that,” she laughed nervously. She stood up and walked to the door.
She opened it and met Lewis holding a box, she needed no one to tell her it was from Charles.
“Here, he said you should wear it tonight,” Lewis said.
Hailey sighed. She doesn’t like that idea at all, but still, she collected it from him.
“Ermm…. I must say, you’re very lucky” Lewis smiled. He turned and left.
“What does he mean?” Hailey mumbled. She closed the door and went to join her family.
“Who was that?” Leah asked.
Jaime stared at the box in her hand.
“Another gift? Can I have a look?” He asked.
Hailey eyed him before facing her parents.
“Mom, Dad, I’ll be out tonight. I…” She bit her li-ps. She didn’t even know how to explain it to them.
“You’re going on a date?” Leah asked.
“Date??!” Sebastian half yells.
“No, no,” Hailey said.
“Then….”
“A friend’s night” she quickly blurted out what came to her mind.
“Friend’s night?” Leah asked.
“You’ve made friends?” Jaime asked.
“Yea, at work” Hailey lied, pinching herself slowly.
“Wow! That’s great. My daughter has finally made friends” Leah said.
“I’m glad you’re finally doing things that’s gonna make you happy,” Sebastian said.
Hailey breathed out in relief.
“I’ll be going to my room,” she said.
“Why? You haven’t finished your meal yet” Leah said.
“I’m full,” Hailey said and went to her room.
“My daughter has finally made friends, isn’t that great?” Leah smiled happily.
Sebastian and Jaime nodded their heads in agreement.
****
Hailey stared at herself in the mirror, she twirled around and smiled as she admired herself in the mirror.
Her phone rang and she picked it, it was Charles calling.
“Cara Mia, are you ready?” Charles asked.
“Yes. Can you park a few meters away from my house?” She asked.
“Why?”
“I’ll explain it to you later, do that for me, huh?”
“Fine, I’m almost close though” Charles muttered before ending the call.
Hailey stared at herself in the mirror for the last time, after she was sure she’s okay, she left the room, taking her steps slowly as a result of the heels.
She met Jaime packing the plates on the table, Leah and Sebastian were absent.
“Whoa! Is this Hailey?” Jaime whistled as she stared at her dressing.
Hailey rolled her eyes.
“Stop the exaggeration. Where’s Mom and Dad?” She asked.
“In their room. Sis, you look so beautiful today” Jaime placed the plates on the table and moved closer to her.
He looked around the house before placing his li-ps by her ears.
“Sis, you can trust me, yunno?” He said.
Hailey raised her brow
“I know you’re going on a date… Jeez, you can’t fool me, I’m not Mom and Dad” he muttered.
Hailey spa-nked his head.
“Keep your mouth shut, or else I won’t give you any money again” she warned.
Jaime quickly zi-pp-ed his mouth.
“Trust me” he winked.
Hailey smiled before leaving the house.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone” Jaime yelled after her.
She shook her head till she got outside. She walked a little from their house and saw Charles’ car at a corner.
She smiled before taking her steps towards the car.
Charles came down from the car, he smiled when he saw the gown bringing out her curvy shapes.
“You look hot, Cara” he whispered when Hailey finally got to him.
“You don’t have to send someone over, you know?” She muttered.
“Why? You’re my baby and I need to pamper you” he said.
He leaned closer and pecked her cheeks.
“Let’s go baby, it’s getting late” he placed her hand on her small wa-ist and they both entered the car.
“You didn’t come with your guards?” Hailey asked on their way.
“Yea…”
****
They got to the house and the gate opened automatically and Charles drove into the compound.
They stepped down from the car and Charles placed his hand around her before they entered the house.
They were led to the living room by the maid and they both settled on the chair.
“I’ll call the chairman,” the maid said.
“You don’t have to, I’m here already,” Mr. Monterio said as he appeared.
Hailey quickly stood up and greeted him.
“Good evening, sir” she greeted.
Mr. Monterio ignored her and faced Charles.
“Let’s talk,” he said and left.
Hailey and Charles both exchanged glances and Charles smiled rea-ssuringly at her.
“You don’t have to worry, I’ll be back soon” he pecked her forehead before going after his dad.
Hailey bit her li-ps as she played with her fingers. He didn’t even reply to her greeting and that bothers her.
Lilian appeared and her eyes wide-ned when she saw Hailey.
“Sis!!” She screamed and rushed to her.
“When did you get here?” She asked.
“Not quite long,” Hailey replied.
“You came with my brother?” Lilian asked.
“Yea….”
“Huhuh, that’s odd. Dad didn’t inform me about it” she mumbled.
“Let’s forget about that. Now that you’re here, why don’t we make something together?” She asked.
“Huh?”
“Come with me” Lilian took her hand and dragged her out of the living room.
***
“Why did you act that way towards Hailey?” Charles asked Mr. Monterio when they entered his study room.
“Because I’m not in approve of your relationship anymore”
Charles laughed.
“That’s a joke, right?”
“Why would I accept a lady that lives in Kelso?”
The smile disappeared from Charles’ li-ps when he heard that.
“How did you know that?” He asked, his face turning to a serious one.
“You really think I’m not gonna find out? That’s why you hid from me?” Mr. Monterio shouted.
“So? What if she’s from Kelso, how has that gotten to do with you?” Charles asked.
“What?”
“I love Hailey and she’s totally different from other girls, there’s nothing you’re gonna say that’s gonna make me stop loving her” Charles said. He turned to walk away.
“Have you forgotten?”
He stopped and turned to look at his Dad, his eyes held anger in them.
“Have you forgotten what your Mom did? She abandoned us and went after my rich friend. Have you forgotten?”
“And then Stephanie, she ab-orted your baby and went after a rich man too. Have you forgotten all that?!” Mr. Monterio yelled.
Charles folds his fist, inside, he was smoking with anger.
“I haven’t. But, that won’t stop me from loving Hailey”
“And I’ll never allow that even if I die!”
“You loved her before, what changed? Because she’s poor?”
“Do you know why I’ve been bringing those ladies to you? Because I didn’t want history to repeat itself. But look at what you did!”
“I don’t care if you accept her or not, I’m never leaving her. I guess this was why you asked us to come, but note this… I’m never returning here again!” Charles left the room, burning with anger.
Rage shot throu-ghMr. Monterio’s vein and he clenched his jaw.
“I won’t stay still,” he gritted.
****
Charles looked around the living room and met no one in sight. He was still angry. How could his father ask him to leave Hailey because she’s poor? The woman he has come to love more than his life.
He saw a maid pa-ssing by and he stopped her.
“Have you seen my woman?” He asked.
“Yes, she’s in the kitchen with Miss Lilian,” the maid replied with a blus-h.
Charles went to the kitchen and a smile left his li-ps when he saw Hailey and Lillian, chatting and smiling happily.
His anger flew out of the window as her melodious laughter filled his ears.
“Oh… Brother, you’re here” Lilian said when she noticed his presence.
“Yea” he walked to them and faced Hailey, staring at her with love and admiration.
Lilian smiled and cleared her throat.
“Erm, I have something to do. You can continue, sis” she said to Hailey and rushed out of the kitchen.
Immediately she was gone, Charles pulled Hailey to a tight hug, hugging her like his life depended on it.
“Is something wrong?” She asked.
“I love you” he whispered.
Hailey stared at his back, wondering what suddenly went wrong.
“Charles?”
“I’ll never leave you, Hailey. Even if the whole world is against us, I’ll never leave you” he muttered.
“I love you”
