LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 9&10
Jayden smiled as he saw the notice on Alexander’s page about a new maid for his son.
He has been Alexander’s fan for a long time. He follows him everywhere and follows every update about him.
He sees Alex as his role model.
“If my sister gets this job, I will have an excuse to see him” he squealed and rushed to his sister’s room.
“Why are you in my room?
“Sis, you have to see this” Jay smiled showing her the notice on his phone and Hailey stared at the notice blankly.
“Sis say something. Why are you quiet?
“Are you alright? You want me to become a maid. Jayden. A maid to a small child. Did you leave your brain in San Francisco? I’m a graduate remember?
“I know you are a graduate. A broke one for that. Its not like you are going to be him maid forever. Don’t you understand simple English? It says temporal maid. Just apply for it until you see a better job. I will be resuming school on Monday and I will obviously be needing money. You don’t expect me to ask Miss Fiona for money right? Please just do this for me” Jay pouted childishly
“But why are you so interested in this? You gat something to tell me?
“No. I just figured you might need it. I’m out” he rushed out to his room to avoid more questions.
“This is not a bad idea tho. Alex Smith? Sounds familiar” Hailey thought and went to his page to apply for the job.
“Tomorrow is the interview? Hmm, I hope I get this job at least I can manage it for now”

Fiona just got back from the hospital and she was feeling on top of the world with the knowledge that Alex’s child is growing in her.
Somehow it made her feel good. Knowing that she will have a connection with Alex again.
She picked up her phone and started scrolling through it when she came across the notice about a maid in Alex’s house. A smile crept up to her face.
‘I think Hailey will need this job’ she thought and went in search of Hailey.
“Fiona, you are home early today. Did something happen?
“Nothing happened. Its my mom’s boutique. I can decide when to go and when not to go. Besides today is a good day so…” she said with a wide smile
“Fiona I know that smile. What are you up to?
“Nothing much. That’s not why i’m here. There is a job vacancy at Alex’s house. I want you to take up the job”
“Why does everyone want me to take that job? Is there something you and Jay are not telling me”
“Lets go inside first. I will explain in details”
Fiona said dragging Hailey with her.
“I’m listening” Hailey said as she sat down and crossed her legs
“You see, the thing is I want to get back at Alex”
“Alex? Why? Do you know him from somewhere? Hailey asked and Fiona hit her on the head
“why are you hitting me?
“Dummy. He’s my ex”
“The one that ki||ed your child?
Fiona nodded and Hailey palmed her mouth.
“No wonder. The name and face sounded familiar. But I thought you moved on”
“Yea. I did but he must feel the pain I went through. Karma is taking too long. As i’m talking to you right now, i’m carrying his baby”
Hailey gasped immediately she said that.
“How? When did this happen?
Fiona went ahead to explain everything to Hailey and she was dumbfounded when Fiona finished.
“Are you sure this your plan is going to work? And it won’t backfire. Are you sure you are really over him and old feelings will not surface when you stay close to him”
“That’s why I need you there to help me pull through this”
Hailey sighed out and shook her head.
“I hope you don’t regret it”
“That reminds me, where went you last night? Fiona asked and Hailey froze for a second as she thought for a lie to cook up and her hed chose that moment to be blank.
“ummm… I went on a stroll. Yeah. A stroll”
“Are you dating someone behind my back? Fiona asked and moved closer to her amd she moved back
“I don’t have energy for dating stress. I’ll be upstairs” Hailey said and rushed upstairs to her room.
She closed the door and stood against with her back on it while holding her chest.
‘I wasn’t expecting her to notice my absence. I hope she don’t start suspecting me sooner’ Hailey muttered
Jayden rushed into Hailey’s room as if being pursued.
“Gosh! Kid what is it ?
“Sis, the interview date has being changed. Get dressed its today and its in the next 2 hours”
“Are you for real?
They were still on it when Fiona rushed in too.
“Best,, you need to dress up. The interview is in 2 hours”
“same reason why i’m here” Jay said
“You two should take it easy. We are not even sure if I will get the job or not”
“You will get the job in Jesus name” Jay prayed
“Amen” Fiona responded and Hailey looked at them with wide eyes
“Wait until I get the job” She said with an eyeroll
Hailey looked at them when it seems like they were not ready to leave.
“You both want to watch me get dressed?
Both Jayden and Fiona rushed out and stood by the door.
In few minutes, Hailey came out fully dressed.
🎀ALEX MANSION🎀
“Dad why did you change the interview date to today”
“I will be busy tomorrow” he replied with his eyes on his phone.
“When is aunt Olivia coming over? I miss her” Gemini said with a pout
Almost immediately the doorbell rang and a maid went to answer it. The door was opened and Mateo stepped in with Kylan.
Mateo smirked as he stared at the maid who came to answer the door. He is a big player. A very lively and fun person but don’t mess with him because he supply madness in wholesale.
They said birds of the same feathers flock together. They were all lively and fun to be with but it changed the moment Fiona left.
Alex was sad for a long time. It felt like his world crumbled. The group became somehow dull. But now their craziness is beginning to return in full.
“Stop staring” Alex slapped his head
“Dude what was that? Pu$$y is my life so don’t blame me”
“Get a girlfriend and stop this kind of life. Its not going to help you” Kylan added and Mateo burst into laughter with Alex
“Coming from the biggest player” Mateo said amidst laughter.
“I guess you all forgot there is a kid here” Gemini said and they all stopped abruptly. And the room became as silent as a graveyard.
“Now I see the reason why you all are still single and dad is doing nothing about getting me a mom and a baby sister or brother. Are you people going to die single? At least pity your parents. Give them grandchildren before they go to heaven. You all are up to 29 right? Get serious. Dad i’m going upstairs. Call me when they start coming” Gemini said and stood up.
“How old are you again? Kylan asked
“I will be 8 in no distant time” Gemini grinned
“How did you come about the sermon?
“I read. A lot”
“What have you been reading? Alex asked
Gemini smiled and said nothing.
“Answer me young man”
“Dad its not like I intentionally started reading them. I mistakenly saw it on Aunt Olivia’s phone and decided to take a look. Dad she is reading “The Mafia’s heir” on Gbemi Books and its very interesting. You all should try and read it, who knows, you all might fall in love someday like Mariano”
Whoever that rang the door bell chose that moment to interrupt and Gemini breathed out in relief. He wont let his father find out he has been reading those books recently on his own.
“Sir the applicants are here” a guard said as he came in
“Send them in. One after the other” Alexander said and stood up heading to the cellar. He came back with a bottle of wine and 3 glasses.
Just then the first person came in and Gemini squeezed his face in disgust.
She was dressed in a very short skirt and crop top with matching shoes and bag. She had a heavy make up on.
“Hello. My name is Hazel. I am 22 years old. And I promise to abide by rules and regulations if I am given the job. I can cook very well. And I can do other things as well” she said with a flirty smile.
“Did you leave your brain at home? Are you going to an interview or a club? Is this how you will dress to look after me or you are here to seduce my father? Get out. You are not qualified. Child of the world” Gemini said with a deep frown
By the time he finished the girl ran out in embarrassment and the guys couldn’t help but laugh.
Just like that Gemini kept rejecting everyone that came to the interview until it got to Hailey’s turn. She was dressed like a boy but her beauty is still intact.
She came in beaming with smiles.
“Good day gentlemen. Good day cutie” she waved at them with the smile still plastered on her face.
Gemini’s face lightened up immediately.
“OMG!!! You are a BTS fan? I am too.” Gemini shouted as he ran to Hailey to check out her hoodie which has BTS logo on it.
“Dad??? He turned to his dad with a smile and blinked cutely.
“Wh@??ver works for you Gem, its fine” Alex said with a shrug
‘Step one successful’ Hailey thought.
“So who is your bias? Because I can’t choose. I love them all” Gemini kept talking
The door bell rang again.
“The interview is over” Gemini shouted holding onto Hailey as if she was going to run away.
But someone else came in and Hailey froze…
