LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 25
🥀WE MEET AGAIN 🥀
Hailey woke up at 8a to prepare for work when her phone rang and she ignored the call thinking that someone is about to piss her off again.
She headed straight to the bathroom for her morning business. When she was done, she picked a simple dress for the day and stood before the mirror admiring herself when she was done with her dressing and make up.
She decided to wear make up after so long.
She sighed when she was satisfied with her look.
The house has been so boring since Fiona left and she was sad when she learned that Alex forbids her from receiving visitors or visiting anyone. She would do same if she were in his shoes so she don’t blame him.
She came out to the dining and met Jayden already seated and having breakfast. He was all set for school. He turned and his mouth opened on its own and refused tot close at the sight before him. His sister was breathtaking but he will never admit it openly
“I look good right? Hailey asked and that brought Jay back from wonderland.
“The man that made you dress up deserves an award from me.” Jay said grinning from ear to ear.
“Is everything about man? Can’t I look good on my own? Hailey asked and sat down.
“I know there is a man so stop with the pretence already. Besides you have been sneaky for sometimes now.” Jay said and Hailey scoffed and dropped her phone on the table.
“I told you there is no man. Stop getting ahead of yourself” Hailey said and Jayden stretched his hands towards the phone which started ringing at that moment.
Hailey immediately took the phone hiding it under the table and Jay chuckled.
“And someone said there is no man. You’ve been acting defensive yunno, so if there is no man, let me check your phone.” Jay said and Hailey stood up.
“I’m late for work. See you later. Be good okay” Hailey said rushing out and Jay shook his head and continued eating.
Few minutes later, he was already on his way to school. He arrived at the bus stop to wait for the bus when a car pulled up beside him and someone stepped down from the car dressed in all black with a cap covering his face.
“Jayden Moore” the man called and he looked at the man with surprise.
“Who are you?” He asked nervously.
“Who I am is not important. Just follow me quietly” the man said leading the way and Jay followed him behind in fear.
The man opened the car door for Jay and he entered. He turned around and entered the driver’s seat and zoomed off.
Few minutes later they arrived at the Smith’s Hotel and he led Jayden into the secluded VIP section where three other men were waiting.
Immediately they stepped in, Jay recognized Alexander his model and that made him to relax a bit. He sat down after a respectfully greeting the older men.
“So, Jayden Moore, I brought you here for a reason so I wouldn’t want to waste your time. Let me introduce myself to you first. I’m Donald” he said
“Kylan”
“Matteo”
They introduced themselves one after the other but Alex kept mute staring at Jay and he shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
“He is Alexander Smith. I’m sure you know him” Donald introduced when it seems Alex wasn’t going to do so.
“Can we get straight to the point” Alex said coldly
Kylan brought out his laptop placing it on the table and switched it on. He turned it to Jay after playing the video for him to see.
Jayden was shocked and speechless after watching the video. He bent his head in fear and nervousness unable to look at the faces of the older men sitting with him especially Alex.
“Mind explaining what happened? Alex asked with the same cold voice.
🥀FLASHBACKS🥀
***CITY HOSPITAL***
When Jayden walked out of Hailey’s ward, he ran into his friend from school. Actually, his crush.
“Elena, what are you doing here? I didn’t see you in school today. Are you okay?” Jay asked touching the girl’s forehead and she blushed.
“I’m fine. My mom just got another job in another hospital so she came to do a proper handover today. We’ll be moving tomorrow. We’ll live in the hospital premises” Elena replied.
“Oh! I see. Let me have your address then” Jay requested.
“I don’t know the address. Oh! Here comes my mom. Let’s ask her for the address” Elena said dragging Jay by the hand.
“Mom, what is the name of that hospital we are moving to?” Elena asked.
“Decency hospital. Why are you asking?”
“My friend wants to know”
“Alright cutie. Its Decency. I hope you come visit us soon. Its not far from here. Its just down the street” Elena’s mom said and held Elena walking away with her while Jay stood waving goodbye until he sighed his mom and sister heading to another ward and rushed after them.
That was how he became a regular face at Decency hospital.
🥀🥀🥀
On the day Fiona gave birth, Jay was with Elena. He had lied to his mom that he was going to read at his friends place only to come to Elena.
Elena’s mom took them both to the hospital because she had a lot to do and won’t want to leave them both at home.
Jayden and Elena were there when they heard a woman screaming and out of curiosity, he went to peep.
He saw a woman who just gave birth crying because she lost her baby and her husband was trying to console her.
Elena’s mom rushed past him immediately and he wondered why.
Later he learn that someone else just gave birth too and was in the next two wards.
Feeling sad for the woman who just lost her baby, Jay headed to the other ward when Elena rushed towards him from the restroom.
She dragged him with him and he followed wondering why. When they found her mom, Elena told her what she heard In restroom.
She overheard someone having a conversation over the phone instructing the other person to come take the baby because the mother is sleeping.
That she was just going to stay in the restroom and wait for his call when it is done so that no one would suspect. And also they should tamper with the cctv camera so that no one would find out anything.
She concluded that they were about to kidnap the baby. Jay urged Elena’s mom to do something but they were all at loss of an idea to save the innocent baby.
The man whose wife was crying because of their dead baby passed by and an idea came to his head.
They would exchange the living baby with the dead one since the woman was still in the restroom waiting for her accomplice to call her.
After much persuasion, the man agreed and Jayden ran to the other ward and took the baby while Elena’s mom went for the dead baby and Elena herself stood on the look out.
He entered the ward and was shocked to see Fiona on the bed. Nevertheless, took the baby and Elena’s mom replaced him with the dead one.
When Jay took the baby to the new parents, he begged them to keep the baby’s identity from everyone including the baby himself. They were still there when they heard the commotion outside and came to take a look.
Jayden saw a man walking down the hallway with a baby and he concluded that it must be the dead baby. He started heading to the other ward to at least calm Fiona down and tell her that her baby was safe but they already left the ward and he couldn’t tell her.
🥀FLASHBACK ENDS🥀
The story made them speechless.
“So who are the ones you gave the baby to? What is their name?” Alex asked
“I do not know their names but Elena’s mom would surely know their name”
“How can we find Elena’s mom?” Kylan asked.
“Probably go to San Francisco. She is still working in that hospital”
“We are Heading somewhere. Do you have any clue who was the one that made the call in the restroom” Donald asked.
“No. But Elena saw the person” Jayden replied and Alex stood up and left without speaking to anyone.
He didn’t know whether to be sad or happy that he is child is still alive. A child that the woman he love believe that he ki||ed.
It hurts!
He drove to his house and ignored everyone who greeted him. He went into his room, stripped himself and went under the cold shower.
Only God knows how much he is hurting right now. He just wish he would lay his hands on whoever it is that is the mastermind of this whole saga. Heaven knows he would str@ngle the b@stard.

🥀🥀🥀
Florence entered the house and met emptiness. She arrived L.A few hours ago and have been calling Fiona but she wasn’t answering her phone calls so boarded a cab home. After spending few minutes at home she decided to go to their fashion store and check out what is happening there.
She went to Fiona’s room to search the car keys but the room was locked likewise other rooms.
She felt that someone was living in the house. Did Fiona lie to her when she said she was staying at Alex’s? Or was she playing a prank on her.
She picked up her phone and dialed a number requesting to meet up.
After placing the call, she went dressed up and left the house. She boarded a cab to her fashion store but changed her mind and went directly to meet up with the person she called.
On her way she stopped at a convenience store to buy some things she would need.
Immediately she entered the store she came face to face with the last person she wanted to see and time stopped moving for a second.
Magret!!!
Flesh and blood!
Magret smiled and moved closer to her but she kept moving back till her back met with the wall.
“Ma…Margret??? She called but it came out as a question
“We meet again, BESTIE” Margret said placing emphasis on the BESTIE.
“You are supposed to be dead” Florence said with fear and Margret chuckled and moved closer with a murderous glare.
“Unfortunately for you and fortunately for me I survived. The next time we meet, provide my child because that case you buried will be resurrected and we are going to fight you with everything in us especially ME. You won’t come out alive ” Margret whispered the last part into her ear and stood straight.
‘Something way bigger than you is going to hit you Flora. I just hope that my child is safe’ she thought and left the store.
