‼️COPY AND GO TO HELL‼️

Hearing those magical words from her, Charles removed his li-ps from her neck, gazing at her affectionately.
“I love you, Charles. I can’t do without you either but…” Her bott-om li-ps quivered and big tears rolled down her cheeks.
“We can’t be together, not anymore” she whimpered.
“We can, let’s fight for our love, Cara. I can’t give up on you”
“My parents can never approve our relationship, not after what happened, your Dad won’t stop hurting us too. It’s just better if we end this, huh?”
Charles’ eyes twitched and he wiggled his head in protest.
“No Cara, no” he pulled her to a hug, holding her tight to him.
“Please don’t leave me, I can’t live without you” he let out.
“Charles, please don’t make it ha-rd for me” she whimpers.
“I’ll talk to your parents, I’ll let them know how much I love you. Don’t do this Cara, I don’t want to lose you” his voice was torn.
Hailey, that moment badly wished to hug him close to her, not letting him go, but she couldn’t. It would only make things difficult for her.
She did what she thought was the best. She broke the hug and looked at him, her eyes peering into his.
“We need to give each other some space, Charles,” she muttered.
“This is for the best,” she added.
“Hailey” Charles called softly, his tears flowing freely down his cheeks.
“I need to get back to my post,” she said, drying her tears. She left the office without any other word.
Charles hit the wall with his fist as blood oozed out of his knuckles freely but he cared less. His emotions took the best of him and he didn’t know when he started crying.
He was shattered, his heart was ripped into a thousand pieces. This was his second time in love and he had to get broken again?
****
Hailey rushed into the restroom, closing the door behind her. She rested her back on the door and she fell on her knees, crying her heart out.
It was ha-rd for her, he was her first love, the first man she ever gave her heart to. The first man she ever loved with her heart and soul, the first man who saw her weakness. He was her first in everything.
“It hurts,” she whimpered in a crooked voice.

WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN HIGH SCHOOL***
Throu-ghout the first cla-ss, Jaime’s mind was restless. Firstly, the incident that happened to his family the previous day, Secondly, Layla’s absence in school.
The Layla he knows never skipped a cla-ss, not to talk of skipping the whole day in school
“What could be wrong?” He muttered to himself.
“You and Lilian seem to be troubled, can you tell me what’s wrong?” Mickey asked.
Jaime explained what happened to his parents to him.
“What the hell? How are they now?” Mickey asked worriedly?
“They’re both fine now”
“Shit, I didn’t even know something was wrong. It must have been ha-rd for you, isn’t it?”
Jaime smiled.
“What matters is they’re both fine right now,” he said.
“That’s true” Mickey concurred.
“Right, did you say Lilian is troubled too?” Jaime asked.
“Yes, just look, she’s been that way since we arrived school together”
“Do you know what’s going on?” Jaime asked.
“Family problem” Mickey replied.
“Guess we’re on the same boat” Jaime said.
“Layla isn’t in school today, isn’t that weird?” Mickey suddenly asked.
“Yea, I think I need to visit her house,” Jaime said.
“Wow! You knew her house? Seems, you guys are already improving I guess” Mickey said
Jaime smiled as he recalled the ki-ss they shared.
“You can say that,” he mumbled.
“Whoa! He admitted it!” Mickey’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

RUSSIA***
Cecilia descended the stairs slowly with Alexa behind her. She was curious of what Alexa was up to, was it even possible to leave this monster?
She got to the dining room where Robert was already present. She took a seat beside him.
“What took you so long?” Robert asked.
“She was bathing so I had to wait for her” Alexa quickly said
Robert stared at her before clearing his throat. He stared at Cecilia.
“Heard you haven’t been eating lately, are you perhaps pregnant?” He asked.
“I’d rather die than to carry your baby” Cecilia snarled.
Robert smiled though it didn’t reach his eyes.
“Well, you have no choice darling because right after this breakfast, I’m gonna fuc-k you till you go sore” he said.
Alexa clenched her jaw hard. She was a new maid in the house but she just hates the way he treats her. At nights, she usually do hear her screams which implies that he was already a-ssaulting her se-xually. Her mind couldn’t take it so she did what she thought was right.
“Eat your food,” Robert said.
Alexa quickly set a plate in front of Cecilla and Robert creased his brow when he saw a plain dish on the plate.
“Why this?”
“I was the one who asked her to serve me this, I have little appetite” Cecilia quickly bu-tted in.
“Whatever” Roberto started eating his food.
Cecilia stared at Alexa who smiled rea-ssuringly at her.
She grabbed a spoon and started eating slowly.
MINUTES LATER***
They were done with their lunch and Alexa packed the plates and the remnants to the kitchen with the help of the other maids.
Robert stood up and looked at Cecilia.
“To your room, we need to make a baby” he said and dragged her by the arm upstairs.
Immediately they got to the room, he threw her to the bed and started unbuckling his belt.
“stri-p your clothes, darling,” he said.
“I won’t,” she refused.
Robert sneered at her. She never listened to him and that pisses him off. She has never for once stri-pped her clothes and given her body to him willingly. He was always doing it the ha-rd way, which was raping her.
“Then we do it in the usual way,” he spat.
He pounced on her and held her hands tightly to the bed, glaring at her angrily.
“I’ve always wondered why you haven’t birthed my child, if you hadn’t given birth to Andrius’ children, I’d have thought you are a barren. But now, I know why. You were taking pills behind my back!” He shouted.
Cecilia’s eyes wide-ned. Whenever they had se-x, she does use pills behind his back as she couldn’t imagine herself being pregnant with his child.
“Now, I’m gonna teach you a lesson. A lesson you’ll never forget in your life” he growled.
He placed his hand on her blouse and was about to rip it off when he suddenly started feeling drowsy.
“What’s wrong with me?” He gro-aned, trying to keep his eyes open.
“Shit” he fell beside her, going into a de-ep slumber immediately.
Cecilia stares at him in shock and clutches her blouse tightly, breathing heavily.
“What just happened?” She whispered in shock.
The door opened and Alexa rushed in.
“You need to leave here, ma’am,” Alexa said.
“What?”
“There’s no time left, you need to go,” Alexa said.
Cecilia quickly got off the bed and they both left the room.
A gasp left her li-ps when she saw the maids on the ground, unconscious.
She faced Alexa.
“What did you do?” She asked.
“I drugged the food, that was why I asked you not to eat it. You need to leave now before they wake up” Alexa said.
“What about you? I can’t go alone, he’s going to kill you when he wakes up” Cecilia said.
“I need to stay ma’am, you just have to leave please”
“I’m not leaving without you, let’s go together”
After a while, Alexa agreed and they both escaped from the house as the guards were all asleep.
“For now, we need to hide in a safe place, I’m sure Master is gonna be on the lookout for you” Alexa said to Cecilia.
“Where? I don’t know anywhere here” Cecilia said.
“Don’t worry ma’am, I got you covered” Alexa smiled.

WASHINGTON, DC***
MONTERIO’S INVESTMENT***
Hailey led a young man into Charles office, she maintained a professional look on her face.
“Here is Mr. Richa-rd Dawkins” she announced to Charles.
Charles nodded and dismissed her without glimpsing at her. She left the office with a sad expression on her face. If things were going to be this way between them, would she be able to take it?
“You can have your seat, Richard,” Charles gestured to a chair.
Richa-rd sat down and Charles sat properly, folding his palms together.
“I believe you know why I asked to see you,” he said.
“Yes, I know. Even if you bribe me, I won’t collect it because I know that’s what you’re based on” Richa-rd said.
Charles chuckled though it didn’t last for a second.
“Bribe? Have you ever asked yourself if your company is also clean?” He asked.
“Well, I will just go straight to the point. Go to the press and clear my name” Charles said.
“Is that an order?” Richa-rd chuckled.
“If you don’t, I won’t hesitate to let the world know who your boss truly is” Charles said.
“Alberto Del Rosa, once a mafia gang leader who’s known for killing people and then robbing them off my properties. Just imagine what would happen if the world finds out about this…. Your company will be ruined”
Richard’s eyes wide-ned.
“And I know how much you love your job, you can’t afford losing it, right?”
Richa-rd nodded frantically.
“Then do the right thing or I won’t hesitate to bring you and your company down. This is not a warning but a threat” Charles said.
Richa-rd swallowed hard.
“I’ll do that, please don’t rob me off my job” he pleaded.
“Just do the right thing,” Charles said.
“I will, don’t worry your company name will be cleared in a few minutes” Richa-rd said.
Charles smiled and dismissed him. It was easier than he thought.
He picked his briefcase and his phone before leaving the office. Staying here will only make his heart ache.
He got to Hailey’s post and walked past her not uttering any words to her.
Hailey felt sad but she controlled herself.
“This is for the best,” she a-ssured herself but a stubborn tear escaped her eyes.
***
WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN HIGH SCHOOL***
Immediately the bell rang for closing, some students carried their bags and rushed out of the cla-ss, giggling to themselves.
Jaime faced Lilian who was asleep beside him, her head was on his shoulder.
“Lilian,” he called softly.
Lilian opened her eyes slowly and raised her head from his shoulder.
“Time to go home already?” She asked and he nodded.
She stretched her body and yawned softly.
“Thanks to you, I slept like a baby” she smiled.
Jaime ruffled her hair in return.
“Just keep being happy, okay?”
“You too,” she mouthed.
He smiled.
“Are you both ready?” Mickey ased.
“You guys should go ahead, I’ll like to go somewhere else” Jaime said
“To Layla’s?” Mickey asked.
“Yes, I need to know if she’s fine,” Jaime replied.
“My regards to her,” Lilian muttered.
Jaime smiled before nodding his head. He carried his bag and left the cla-ss.
“Are you fine now?” Mickey asked Lilian.
“Yes, I am,” she said.
***
Jaime got to Layla’s house and exhaled de-eply before knocking on the gate.
The gate was opened by the security man and he greeted him.
“Good afternoon I’m Jaime, Layla’s friend from school” he introduced.
“Oh, evening. How may I help you?” The security man asked.
“I just want to see her for some minutes”
“She’s not in right now. She’s…”
“Joel” May called as she joined them.
“Who’s he?” She asked, referring to Jaime.
“I’m Jaime, Layla’s friend from school. I’d like to see her. She has not been in school for two days now and I’m de-eply worried about her” Jaime said.
“You can’t right now, because she’s currently at the hospital”
Jaime staggered back in shock.
“What?”
****
HOWARD UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL***
Jaime rushed into the hospital with May beside him. He insisted on following her because she was bringing some stuffs to Mrs. Rogers
They entered the recovery room and his eyes wide-ned when he saw the state she was in.
“Layla” he whispered, walking to the bed.
Mrs. Rogers glanced at May with a questioning look on her face.
“He’s Jaime, Layla’s friend from school,” May said.
Mrs. Rogers was surprised. Her daughter had never brou-ght a friend to her home, not even once.
“What happened? Why are you lying here this way?” Jaime muttered, holding Layla’s hand
“How did this happen?” Tears fell from his eyes.
“It was an accident,” Mrs. Rogers said beside him.
He glanced at her.
“I’m her Mom,” Mrs. Rogers said.
“Do you know how long Layla has been wishing to hear this from you? She has always been a lonely girl whose every wish was her Mom could acknowledge her as her daughter” he whispered.
“I was at fault, I shouldn’t have treated her that way, I shouldn’t have. I’m a bad mother, I’m a disgrace to motherhood” Mrs. Rogers cried.
Jaime sniffed and stared at Layla. He caressed her hand softly before ki-ssing it.
Though he doesn’t know the cause of the accident, all he wished was for her to be okay.
“Be fine Layla, please” he whispered.
****
MONTERIO’S INVESTMENT***
Hailey smiled happily as she stared at the report in her file. The news about their company being framed for bribery had been cleared out.
“Wow! This is great! Charles will be so happy about this” she smiled, rushing to his office immediately.
“Charles! There’s great news!” She screamed happily but her face fell when she saw the office empty. It was at that moment she realized they weren’t together anymore.
She bit her li-ps.
“I momentarily forgot” she mumbled to herself.
She placed her hand on her ch-est and rubbed it gently.
“Why does this hurt?” She whispered, blinking back her tears.
She went out of the office and she came to face Jace.
“We need to talk,” Jace said to her.
****
RUSSIA***
Robert opened his eyes with a gro-an and sat up, ru-bbing his eyes. He looked at the room to find Cecilia’s absence which was odd because Cecilia doesn’t leave the room.
He went to check the bathroom but she wasn’t there. He left the room and went downstairs, to his dismay, he found the maids on the floor, snoring loudly.
“What the fuc-k is this?!” He roared.
The maids opened their eyes and sprang up, bowing their heads in fear.
“What are y’all doing here?!” He shouted.
“We slept off Master after eating our lunch” a maid spoke out.
“Who’s in charge of the meal?”
“Alexa” the maids looked around themselves to discover Alexa was not with them.
“She’s absent sir, please forgive us” they fell on their knees.
Robert rushed outside and found the guards sleeping in their post.
“Wake up, you bunch of fools!” He snarled.
“Find Cecilia and that maid for me, right now!” He shouted.
He should have known something was amiss when she refused to eat the same lunch with him.
“I’ll never forgive you for this,” he growled.
****
WASHINGTON DC***
HOWARD UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, AT NIGHT***
Mrs. Rogers placed the quilt on Layla’s body well and sat on the bed beside her. Jaime left that evening and May already returned home.
“My baby, when are you going to wake up? Mommy is missing you badly” she whispered.
She stood up in an attempt to leave the room when she saw a sudden movement from Layla. She quickly snapped her head towards her direction.
Slowly, Layla opened her eyes and it fell on Mrs. Rogers.
“Oh my goodness! My baby!” Mrs. Rogers exclaimed happily, staring at her daughter.
“Who are you?” Layla asked which shocked her to the bone.
“Baby,,,” she tried to touch her but a glare from Layla stopped her.
“Don’t touch me,” Layla said, staring at her with hatred.
****
BROOKLYN’S RESIDENCE***
Hailey came out of the bathroom in her nightie, she walked dejectedly to the bed and sat on it. She rested her head on the pillow and a lone tear escaped her eyes.
Charles never returned to the office which made her sad and unhappy.
“I miss him,” she whispered.
There was a gentle knock on the door and both Leah and Sebastian entered the room.
Hailey sat up and dried her tears but it was too late, they saw it all.
“Why are you both here?” She asked.
Sebastian sat on the bed and held her hand.
“You look pale, have you been crying?” He asked softly.
“What are you saying? I’m perfectly fine” Hailey faked a smile.
“You don’t have to pretend to me Hailey, your mom told me everything,” Sebastian said.
Hailey looked at Leah who smiled at her in return.
“You even skipped both your breakfast and dinner, isn’t that enough proof that you’re not okay?” Leah asked.
“Your Mom and I already discussed it, though I was against it but all I ever wished for is your happiness. You’ve sacrificed your whole happiness to us and now that you finally found someone who made you happy, I don’t want to become a barrier to it” Sebastian said.
“I know you’re trying to give up on your love because of us, don’t do that, Hailey. Your Mom and I are both fine, you have to be fine too. I’ll speak to Charles’ Dad if there’s a need to, but do what you know is right”
“Dad..” Hailey whispered. She was beginning to get emotional.
“Your Dad is right baby, we won’t be an obstacle to your love life. You’re our joy, and we’ll always do what makes you happy” Leah smiled.
“Mom” Hailey whispered in tears
“See? I told you she was a crybaby” Leah said to Sebastian.
Sebastian laughed.
“I can’t do without him, I want Charles alone” Leah mimicked Hailey.
“Mom!” Hailey half yells before hugging them at once.
“I love you both so much,” she cries.
“Oh my baby, huhu” Leah smiled as she rocked her like a baby.
“Sorry daughter if Dad made life unbearable for you” Sebastian said.
***
A WHILE LATER***
Hailey laid on the bed with a smile on her face. The fact that her parents approved her relationship with Charles made her happy a lot. She never knew it was gonna be easier that way.
Of course she knew it was her Mom’s doing, no one needs to tell her that.
“Charles would be so happy to hear this” she mumbled.
At the mention of Charles, her mind went to her conversation with Jace.
****
“I heard about your break up from Charles” Jace said to Hailey. They’re in a restaurant.
“Oh…” Hailey mouthed.
“Is that what you truly want?” He asked.
“You shouldn’t be hurting yourself Hailey, you need to fight for your love if there’s a need to. Charles’ father is only looking out for him because of the past but he’s only doing it in a wrong way” Jace said.
“Charles’ heart was broken once and this the second time shattered his heart a lot” he brou-ght out a paper and a pen, he scribbled something into it.
He pa-ssed the paper to Hailey.
“That’s Charles’ house address in case you have a change of mind. I really hope you do so you both don’t get hurt”
***
Hailey stood up from the bed and opened her bag, she brou-ght the paper out and stared at it for a moment.
“I miss him,” she whispered.
“I love him”
“I can’t live without him”
Without giving it a second thought, she dashed out of her room forgetting that she was in her nightie. No one was in the living room and she didn’t even bother to tell anyone where she was going.
She got outside and flagged a taxi down.
“Silver bell estate please” she said to the driver.
***
Hailey got to the house, she knocked on the gate loudly and it was opened by the security.
“Good evening, ma’am” the security greeted and opened the gate widely for her to enter.
Hailey was confused but she didn’t even have the time to ask questions.
“The first room upstairs is his room” the security said and walked away.
Without thinking much about it, she dashed into the house. She didn’t even have the time to admire his house.
She ascended the staircase and opened the first room she came across according to the security.
At that time, Charles came out of the bathroom in just his towel. He was looking like a demigod but his face kinda looked pale.
“Cara,,” Charles whispered, staring at Hailey in shock. How did she get to know his house?
Hailey stared at him and tears started streaming down her cheeks.
She rushed to his arms, hugging him like her life depended on him.
“I don’t want to leave you, Charles. I love you, I love you so much” she whispered in tears.
Charles smiled and wrapped his arms around her.
“I’m never leaving you too, Cara Mia. Not now, not ever” he whispered back.
Hailey broke the hug, staring at his eyes with de-ep affection.
“I can’t do without you, Charles. I’m addicted to you” she whispered and slammed her li-ps on his, ki-ssing him hungrily.
Charles responded to the ki-ss immediately, pulling her to him as the seconds pa-ssed by.
Their tongues tangled and went to war in their locked mouths, battling madly for dominance.
She sighed against his li-ps and murmured his name, and she could feel him smile.
Her hands moved into his hair, that hair that she’d been wanting to touch all night, and he ki-ssed her har-der .
His hand cu-pped her cheek, and the gentle touch on her skin as she felt the heat of his mouth had her nerve endings on fire.
“Stay with me tonight, Cara” Charles whispered into her mouth, moving his hands into her nightie.
