Chapter 3

Jaime's driver packed in front of the five star hotel, rushed out of the car and opened the door for Jaime who got out of the car without giving the driver a second look. He headed straight to the restaurant and was ushered to his usual seat.

"Hey love" Laura davilla said as she got out of her seat and kissed Jaime on both cheeks "How was your day?"

They both sat down and before Jaime could reply Laura's question, the waitress had joined them. She handed them the menu and they chose their meals.

"So how was your day?" Laura asked again as they started eating

"Stressful" he replied

"Wow... for you to say that, it must have been really stressful"

Jaime nodded

"How was yours?" He asked

"Great. The photo shoot was great"

Laura davilla was a twenty years super model. She was one of the top ten most expensive model worldwide. She was naturally beautiful. She smiled as she said the last sentence. She really enjoyed her job

"So, tell me what happened today?" She asked

"Nothing much. I was going from one meeting to the other"

"Okay. Dad called"

Jaime heart ached. He knew what the call was about

"He is still waiting for your response"

"I don't think..." Jaime trailed off. He was trying to choose his words carefully "... we're ready for that yet. Or are we?"

"I am love" Laura answered and blushed "I really want to spend the rest of my life with you"

"I know but we're still too young"

"Why are you trying to put me in an awkward position? Why are you trying to act as if I'm the one rushing this marriage?"

"Laura" he called "Try to listen..."

Laura cut him off "We've talked about this so many times"

"I know but..."

"I'm not listening to any 'but' love. Why must we be delaying ourselves"

Jaime sighed heavily. He knew Laura wouldn't give him a chance to talk

She held both Jaime's hands across the table and said slowly while looking straight into Jaime's blue eyes "We both love each other, we both want to be together forever. Make up your mind love"

Jaime breathe out heavily through his mouth but said nothing

"I love you" Laura said to him and smiled

"We're done here right?"

"Yes" Laura replied and grabbed her purse "I missed you"

Laura had been out of city for the past two weeks. She went to a seminar

She put her hand in Jaime hand as they walked out of the restaurant and headed to the hotel

As soon as they were inside the room Laura started kissing Jaime.

"Babe calm down" Jaime said as he was trying to stop Laura

"No" Laura said desperately "I've missed it"

"I know but I don't want your lipstick on my suit"

"Like seriously. You've never complained about that"

"This suit is new"

"Okay. Let me clean my lipsticks then" Laura said and instantly opened her purse in order to get a wipes which she was going to use to clean her lipsticks.

She walked to the mirror that was in the room and started cleaning her lips with the wipes

Jaime phone rang, it was a text from his personal assistant, Lucian Henry

'Here is what I've found out about the woman you hit this morning. Her name is Olivia Grimes. She is an alcoholic and this is her house address...'

"I'm sorry Laura but I have to go now" Jaime said after reading the text

"What do you mean?" Laura said confusedly

"I really have to go now" Jaime said and rushed out of the room

Laura ran after him and started shouting "Love! Love! Jaime" but Jaime neither stopped nor replied

When Jaime got to where his car was, he told his driver to go home and headed to the address that Lucian texted him earlier

Eight years ago

As Dermot and Olivia were about to step out of Jeremy's room, Mark stepped in and wondered what was going on. He looked between Dermot and Olivia for few seconds before he realized what was going on.

He scanned the room and saw Jeremy lying unconsciously on the floor

"You're dead!" He threatened with gritted teeth and kneeled Dermot in his balls.

Dermot went down instantly and screamed in pain.

Mark got hold of Dermot's wrist and started dragging him back into the room while calling Jeremy's name.

After dragging Dermot to where Jeremy was lying down unconsciously, he took out his phone and dialled Sam's number

"Don't do this" Olivia said

"Stay out of this bitch if you don't want to feel my wrath!" He shouted

"I need you and Alfred inside Jeremy's room right now" he said urgently when Sam finally picked up

"Is there a problem?" Sam asked

"A very big one" he replied and hung up the phone

Sam and Alfred were inside Jeremy's room in few seconds and were shocked with what they saw

"This motherfucker almost killed Jeremy" he said while looking at Dermot that was still groaning in pain from the kick with nothing but hatred in his eyes

Sam and Alfred ran towards Dermot Instantly and pulled him up and Mark started hitting him.

Dermot screams couldn't be heard outside Jeremy's room because of how loud the music was

When Olivia couldn't take it anymore she screamed "Stop or I'm going to call the police!"

When Mark and the others heard what Olivia said, they left Dermot alone and kneeled beside their unconscious friend

"Are you okay?* Olivia asked as she ran toward Dermot who could hardly walk by himself

"I'm okay" Dermot replied and spat out blood

"You need to see a doctor" she said worriedly

"Don't worry. I will be okay by tomorrow

Five minutes after Olivia and Dermot left, Jeremy woke up

Olivia and Dermot were next doors neighbor but this was the first time they walked home together and even though Dermot was in so much pain, he was enjoying every seconds of it.

"Go in" he said to Olivia while trying to smile

"You go in"

"Lady's first"

"Okay" Olivia replied "Make sure to take care of yourself before going to bed"

"I will"

Olivia started walking to her house while Dermot stayed on a spot to watch her. All of a sudden, she stopped walking, turned around and ran back to where Dermot was still standing.

"Thank you for saving me tonight" she said and gave him a light kiss on his cheek before running off

Dermot touched the kissed cheek and smiled to himself before slowly walking to his house
