JADENThe sky started raining cats and dogs,The rain pattered against the window wall in my living room and I tried to focus on it instead of the young woman that is currently soaking in the Jacuzzi tub in the room above.I sat on the couch with one leg crossed over the other,drumming my fingers on my knee.After so many years of solitude in my house,it felt strange to have another presence around.Robert usually only stayed for a couple of hours when he came over,but Isabella was staying the whole night.I looked down at couch where she'd probably by sleeping.Isabella was small,but I didn't think she'd be able to lie down comfortably on it.I'd mostly bought it for the sake of design my sittingroom and the fact that it was a good brand.I wasn't meant for sleeping on but what was I supposed to do? offer to sleep in my bed with me? I'd mostly likely get a slap but I definitely wasn't going to be sleeping on the couch.But she's been in a very stressful situatio
ISABELLAMaking up my mind to sleep on Jaden couch had seemed like a good idea the night before,seeing as how I was a guest and all,but by six in the morning,I'd decided it was probably the worst idea.I felt like I hadn't slept at all.The cushions weren't comfortable and my body was to long. so I have to curl up to keep my feet from dangling off the edge of the arm supports.I briefly considered getting up so I didn't have to try getting comfortable again.Immediately as I was shifting,a light from the hallway above turned me on.I turned my head up to the balcony and saw Jaden stumbling towards the stairs,his head bowed.He was dressed in a navy blue suit and his hair was wet,as if he'd just gotten out of shower.As he came to the couch as if he had notice me and I frose with my half-eye closed,hoping he wouldn't notice I was awake.After some seconds he started moving again but this time slowly and quietly,as if he was not trying to wake me up.It was ruined however w
PROLOGUE"Jaden,Jaden,it is time for you to settle down with someone."I glanced from where I lay on my flotation mattress,looking tired to keep myself from indenting the material as I trained myself to do,At the doorway stood my father,who gave me a calm but disapproved look that I made a move to sit up properly.His expression was a definition of disappointment,slim nose upturned,I already knew where the conversation was heading,I let my cheek fall to the cool mattress with a sigh."This again"I said."You are no longer a boy,you are now a man"He said while unfolding his arms on his chest revealing the beauty of his suit as he moves,His hair is grey and beard giving him all round classic aura.I am still a growing young man,there is still time."I married your mother when i was even younger than you are" he said as the matter of fact "It is time for y
ISABELLA"Becky,table five have been waiting for two minutes for someone to come and take their drink order"Patrick,the manger on shift said ad he walks towards me at the hostess stand.I blinked at him,trying to ignore the fact that he got my wrong million times over while wondering if he notice my hand was full with plates from other tables,when he glanced over at me,I gave him the fakest smile i could produce"I will be right there"I answered."Good"In a haste,i went back to table seven,i hated table seven,I didn't know if it was my luck or the table is cursed because whoever sat there ended uo being the most rudest and stupidest on mother earth.This time it is some bunch of men in suits that try to touch me anytime I served them."Chicken soup"I annouced as i set down one of the plates in front of a bald head man with big stomach.
JADEN"The plans for the hotel in Ibadan,Nigeria in west Africa have gone accordingly "Both our construction team and the councelor of the local government have approved the blue prints."I have the all documents and the estimated budget here with me and we could start the construction in five days,if only you sign and approve it,sir."I looked up from my Ipad to see,two pairs of nervous eyes looking at me,It was my assistant Derrick.He always had that expression on his face.I jave forgotten I was in the middle of a meeting and because I was absent minded,I had no idea on what the discussion was about.I just replied "if my father approves it,let go along with it.""Sir,your father said for you to oversee and approve,If I go back to him,he will scold us."Derrick whispers.I adjust my chair to sit comfortably,where they still taking about the hotel in Ibad
Isabella"Hey,those the last name Castle ring a bell to you?"I asked Chloe some days after the scene at the restaurant.we were currently in my other part time a coffee house known as Coffee Spot.Chloe were good friends maybe it's because we work together or because I don't have friends,she is also like a sister I never had.I was content with her,she was cute,friendly and all around a good type of girl.The type everyone need around especially when it's a personal life."If I tell you,you will fishtail my hair for me?"she responded pointing to her messy black hair tied on top of her head.I was already late for work and couldn't really do anything with it ."Ok,sit down."Chloe quickly took a seat on a stool lining on the countertop.Unfortunately the coffee Spot was full of silence,as it usually was in the afternoon so I have more time to fix her hair up.
JADENI adjust my chair,so I will be more comfortable in the discussion.The moment I made the offer,I saw Isabella' face go completely blank,I knew I'd won her over permanently been rich is like you can have everything and anything,After all money could buy anything."So what are the terms and agreements?"she asked and I found myself grinning widely with an atmospheric belief that I won."Let us discuss then"I suggested.I unlocked my phone pulling up the agreements and terms,I worked on for some days.Robert stood up from us deciding to give us some privacy in our discussions.He went over to the marbled counter to keep Chloe company as she stared at us,obviously curious but don't want to invade our privacy.Isabella watched me closely and in full attention that I could almost see the inner struggle she was undergoing.while I didn't blam
ISABELLAI am all drown with anger and thoughts.My phone have been been ringing and went off for the third time within fifteen minutes full of anger I pulled it out of my pocket to see the name Jaden Castle flashing on the screen.Was he alright or some kind of crazy stalker?I have never met or know someone who will call in every two minutes,if they didn't answer right away.Not wanting to give him the satisfaction of me answering the call,I decided to just turn off my phone.Then it wouldn't be distracting."Jaden again"Chloe called from the back room."Doesn't he know I am at work?"I wondered out loud like he did ask,I'd sent him my schedule at the coffee shop.so if i'd got it,why was he trying to call me in the middle of my shift.I couldn't just answer my phone at work.I actually would but wouldn't tell him that."Aren't you kind of excited?"Chloe
