Jayden's POV
It's good to be back home. Staying away for week from my family hasn't been easy. The network at Bayelsa in Nigeria was very bad. I tried calling Keisha but couldn't go through. Before I left to Nigeria, she complained that she wouldn't be able to handle the business without me. It took a lot of convincing to finally make her agree to step in my position while I'm away. On the first night that I arrived, we had five different calls concerning different matters that she needed guidelines on how to present the solutions to the board. The second day too, she did same. I wondered if she even had time to do anything else apart from talking to me on the phone till half of the day passed away. Though the network was bad on the second day, it wasn't as worse as that of the subsequent days. Having bad network meant that I wouldn't hear from my babies and it also meant that it will make Keisha sit up to make decisions on her own and also face reality, which is the business that I've left under her care. I can't wait to see the mixed look on her face when she sees me. Bet she'd skin me alive for making her worry so much about me. And oh, my sweet little girl. I can't wait to hug her and shower her with gifts that I brought for her.
Before I head home, I want to clear "a mess" as Keisha would term it. It's six in the evening which makes me feel hopeful that I wouldn't the chance to meet the person I'm hoping to see.
I rang Rachel's door bell and waited patiently to be welcomed in. I waited for a few seconds before pressing the bell again. I could hear some noise coming from inside. Maybe she has visitors that she wouldn't like to be disturbed. I should give her the privacy that she needs. I descended the entrance stairs and headed to my car. Some other time, I'll make time for her.
Ear damaging screams came from inside, giving me no option than to rush back to the door. I turned the knob and it luckily opened. I begin to detect where the noise came from. The cologne in the room tells me that it is a man who's here with her.
"Leave me alone, else I'd shout again" she said frightened.
"Hahahaaaa... You think your shouting is going to make a difference, no. Don't be a dummy. I don't know why you're making me go rough on you when you can have it in a smooth way"
"Please don't please" she cried.I took my pistol from my inner pocket and aimed it ready to shoot whoever is messing with the mother of my unborn child.
"Let go of her you imbecile." I used my foot to open the slightly opened door widely.
"Else what?" He turned to look at me. He has a nose piercing and two piercings on each ear.
"Oow, it's Mr. Rich man." He gave a synical laugh showing his yellow teeth and I shrinked. This guy is fearfully made.
"Waste my time and I'll fire." I barked at him.
"You're happy your darling boy has his gun aimed at me right?" WAP! He slapped Rachel. I fired the gun and he swiftly dodged the bullet. Only a criminal can do that even with his back partially facing me. I tried to fire again but there's no bullet left in the gun. How can I go to the battlefield not fully prepared?The guy let go of Rachel and pulled his trousers up. He walked up to me and threw his first fist. Great, that was a hard one. It blew my mind away. I threw my first fist too on the same spot that he hit me. I think it my blow made him bite his tongue or him because he spat blood on the floor.
"You want to fight for love right? I love her too so whoever wins will have her" he threw another punch but I caught it.
"I'm not fighting for love. I'm fighting for my unborn child"
"Stop. You guys should stop!!!" Hearing Rachel cry made me forget about wanting to hit this rascal. I let go of his hand and rushed to her side. I need an angel to fill me with compassion so I wouldn't fire my bodyguards after I'm done handling this.
"Are you okay?" She nodded.
"Is my baby fine, do you feel hurt anywhere?" I don't want anything happening to my first male child. My heir.
"The baby is okay. Can you please get us out of here?"
"Look at me" I cupped her face in my palm. I'm just scared to lose my child. She looked at me. "I'll do anything within my power to make sure that you and my child are protected from douche bags like this. You won't ever experience something like this in your entire years of living again."I promised her.
"Wonders shall never end. Am I not blessed to be the first to view the premiere of Romeo and Juliet reloaded?"
I ignored him and continued soothing Rachel so she'd calm down. I don't want to risk her having a miscarriage.
"Till when are you going to let yourself be fooled by that bitch?"
"I beg your pardon?" He got my attention.
"Don't pay attention to him Jayden." The panic in her voice increased.
"How do you feel being used as a puppet?"
"I'm not her puppet!" I growled.
"Fine. So you're okay taking responsibility that's meant for another man?"
"What do you mean?" I left Rachel's side and approached the guy, not caring about how he's going to react with me standing in front of him.
"That baby in there is not yours." He said directly with no fears. By then my bodyguards had found their way in here. One aimed a gun at him but I gave a sign for him to stop."That's a lie. Jayden promise me you won't listen to that mad man."
Her change in mood makes me feel like there's more to what the guy is saying.I held the guy's collar and tightened it.
"Who the fuck is the father?"
"It's two things, it's either that child is fatherless or it will be having two parents which you're not part because your sperm didn't contribute to making the baby."
"Shut up!" Rachel cried.
"Bitch did you tell him about how the threesome we had got you this way? Or you were waiting for the perfect timing?" He looked at her quizzically.
"I suppose you told him it was my help that made it possible for you to intoxicate him so you can put the pregnancy around his neck? We've been playmates since day one but if you're going to act like you don't know me, then I've got not option than to sell you out." He gave a satisfied smile."Is it true, tell me is it true?" I walked back to Rachel and held her neck.
