Gia smirked and stood up wrapping the duvet around herself.
“What is it bitch? Don't go about talking of how I cheated with your fiance cause Karl was never was and would never be yours,” she said moving closer to caress Karl and he did nothing to stop her.
He only avoided looking directly into Whitney's eyes subtly confirming that what Gia said was true.
“See this ring... He proposed to me and very soon we'll be getting married after welcoming our first child,” Gia showed off the stunning ring on her finger while rubbing her stomach delicately.
'So she is already pregnant. How long have they been cheating behind my back?' Whitney thought as she suddenly clutched her chest.
Why would they do this to her?
He could have just dated Gia instead of deceiving her for so long. This heartbreak is too much to handle.
“Bitch, you better don't die here. You should get out and lock the door. Find somewhere else to die,” Gia concluded before pulling Karl back to the bed.
Karl turned to look at Whitney with a remorseful look, which she missed as Gia already pushed him onto the bed and climbed on top of him.
They didn't even wait for her to leave before they started having s*x again.
She couldn't take it anymore so she ran out of the room.
Oh! She didn't forget to lock the door as Gia asked her to.
She locked both the bedroom and the main door and even took the keys with her.
As soon as she got out, she threw the keys far away from the house. I think they landed in the stream nearby.
Then she turned to the house and did a f**k you sign.
*****
Present time**
“Why won't this rain stop? Today is the worst day of my life,” Whitney muttered shivering from the cold but she stubbornly refused to stand up from the bench. She bent her head and wept again.
The hooting sounds of the cars and noises from the passerby faded away as she slowly spaced out. She didn't even realize the cars passing were splashing mud on her. Neither did she realize how cold the weather is and how dark it is.
A few hours later, the rain had already stopped but Whitney was still in the same position. Although people passed by every second, no one bothered to talk to her ... No one bothered to ask the quiet sad lady what happened.
A limousine passed by and the occupants in it noticed her. The bodyguard looked out of the window and asked, “What's she doing? Does she want to freeze to death?”
At that time, there was a little traffic on the road so he could stare at Whitney all he wants.
He continued nagging about how careless she was to sit down on a bench in this cold weather without warm clothing on.
His boss finally got tired of his endless chatter and said,“ Bring her in.” The bodyguard was stunned at first but when he received a cold glare from his boss, he quickly stood up.
The boss ordered his chauffeur to reverse and the trail of cars following the limo also reversed.
The cars stopped in front of Whitney but she didn't even notice them until the bodyguard came out of the car and made a loud sound of clearing his throat.
Suprised, Whitney looked up to see the huge man standing in front of her.
It was then she felt cold and noticed how late it is.
She was about to say something when the bodyguard spoke first, “Miss, my boss wants to see you. He said follow me or die out here from cold.” His boss never said that though.
He then turned around to leave. Sharon looked at him puzzled.
Who is his boss?
He sounds arrogant and cocky.
Hell! Even the bodyguard behaves arrogantly.
Whitney didn't stand up deciding she won't follow the strange guy and when the bodyguard turned back just before opening the car door he was surprised to see Whitney still sitting down stubbornly.
He rolled his eyes inwardly thinking of how impatient his boss must be right now. So he walked back to Whitney, bent down, and carried her over his shoulder roughly.
Whitney immediately screamed,“ Put me down!!! Please put me down this instant!! This is illegal!!! It's called kidnapping!”
The bodyguard ignored her shouts and took Whitney to the limo.
The man sitting inside it was able to hear the last statement she said and He laughed coldly and asked,“ Really. Who would believe that?”
Whitney gasped again as she recognized the man in the limo.
What the heck is going on today? Was she dreaming?
She did that thing of rubbing her eyes again to make sure she was not seeing things. But it's him!
He just rested his head on his hands, watched her coldly, and wondered why she was behaving this way.

Meanwhile, when Owen came out to meet his car bashed, he almost uprooted the whole company with his anger.
He went to the Porsche shocked and did not believe that was his new car.
He has not even finished paying for it yet.
He turned to look at the shaky employees behind him. No one dares look up at him. “ Who among you did this!?,” he shouted angrily.
The employees shook their heads hurriedly saying,“ Not me sir.”
After many threats, the receptionist said, “Sir after you came in, Whitney was the last person to leave.” Owen thought of it and believed her.
He then smiled coldly, “Seems like she hasn't learned her lesson yet. Making her jobless is not enough. Maybe when I make her homeless too, she will not dare to test my patience again.”
He dismissed the staff, brought out his phone, and called someone. As soon as he ended the call, he smirked and said, “Whitney you will come back to me soon begging for help.”

Whitney looked at him again, stunned.
Sitting in front of her is Jasper Madon.
He's one of the most influential and popular billionaires in the city.
He has been trending lately in headlines cause he recently just lost his wife and his legs to a tragic accident and right at the moment, he uses a wheelchair because of the accident.
Whitney stared at him as she couldn't believe that she was sitting right in front of the nation's husband.
Yes, even before the accident, tabloids and magazines have always tagged him along with the title of the nation's husband. Meaning he is the most sought-after man in the city.
The tabloids may be right about him being cold-hearted and ruthless, but mind I remind you that they forgot to add that he's also cocky and arrogant.
He smirked at her coldly.
“What were you doing out there alone? Your clothes even look wet indicating that you must have stayed in the rain. What were you thinking?” he spoke lowly in an icy tone emitting an intense pressure on the other occupants in the car.
Well except Whitney of course.
Whitney frowned and answered,“ I don't think that's your business Mister. Why have you asked your men to kidnap me? I didn't request your help! So let me go right now!”
The chauffeur was about to start driving away but when he heard the angry lady's voice, he stopped, quite confused about what to do.
But as soon as he looked in the mirror and noticed the cold look on his boss's face, he immediately knew what to do.
Of course, Whitney saw the interaction between the both of them and frowned. 'Why is he doing the opposite of what she asked for?'
He smiled and asked, "Who saw them kidnap you?”
Whitney immediately stopped her continuous demand to be released and looked out of the window.Everywhere was dark and there was no one in sight.Therefore, even if she wants to report this cocky man, no one would be able to assist her as there won't be any witnesses.That's even if the security will believe her.She panicked immediately thinking of begging him to release her. But then with her stubborn personality, she refused to apologize for doing nothing.So instead she started the volume of her shouting for help while banging on the window loudly.Maverick looked up getting annoyed and irritated while wondering if he had just made a mistake.The bodyguard that had forced Maverick to bring her in the cause of his complaints looked away in fear.He dare not look at his face afraid to see the scary, cold, and possibly annoyed look on his face.“Tch! So noisy,” Maverick said quietly.She glared at him and stopped her screaming for a moment because her voice became raspy from shouting
Whitney gasped and puffed up her cheeks angrily.What a rude man? He dares to call her fatty...She already knows how chubby she is so he doesn't have to rub it in her face.“Being angry doesn't suit you. You look like a swollen puffed bun right now,” he said repeating her words to her.Whitney gasped dramatically and pointed her finger at him,“ You rude... Cocky...” She couldn't complete her statement cause the door suddenly opened and two hefty-looking bodyguards helped Maverick into his wheelchair.Whitney followed not waiting or expecting anyone to invite her out.As they slowly walked towards the house, she kept glancing at Maverick.Even with him being situated in a wheelchair, he looks so powerful.The cold expression on his face and his heavenly beauty make him look just like a powerful sleeping lion. Just that in his case, he is sitting not sleeping. ******“Babe!! I think the door is jammed. I can't open it,” Gia said as she tried opening the room door. She has dresse
A maid came forward and collected Owen's briefcase while greeting him as soon as he walked into the huge mansion whistling softly. While there in the hallway, he couldn't help but watched the maid go as her mini skirt swayed sideways, then shook his head and frowned as he couldn't believe he was just looking at a maid lustfully. He walked into the main sitting room and was very relieved to see both parents there. He didn't even notice the worried looks on their face as he rushed forward to complain about what had happened today. He greeted them and quickly said,“ Dad Whitney bashed my car. She has destroyed it so badly that I'll have to pay more money to repair it than how much I bought it.” “That daughter of mine is becoming a rogue nowadays. Why is she just causing trouble everywhere?” his father asked frowning slightly. Owen was very relieved to see his reaction. “That's not the most important thing right now. I can't find my
Whitney frowned and thought,' I must have been blind before. What cute boy? He is just a little mean boy. He is as arrogant as his father.'“Papa I need answers right now!!,” he shouted with a cold expression. She also noticed that the cold expression on his face is similar to that of his father.Maverick chuckled again while she continue to glare at him.He can't even scold his son for being rude when he already has a degree of rudeness. Maverick looked at the expression on her face knowing that she was thinking of something bad about him.He grinned and thought to himself, 'I don't care. She doesn't think of anything good about me anyway.' He even high-fives his son to show that he's proud of what he just said.“Dad!! Who is this fatty?” Jimmy asked again and Maverick's grinned wider than before. This is his son. He even said the correct nickname.“Jimmy, she is...” Maverick trailed off realizing that he doesn't even know her name. Shit! He didn't ask for her name. He looked at Whi
Later that night Whitney lay on the queen-size bed fiddling with the engagement ring on her finger.She sighed thinking of everything that had happened.Maverick and Jimmy had been helpful to her once today.Though their attitude towards her wasn't the best, they helped her forget the sad incidents that happened to her.Now that she's alone, the memories came rushing back. She wiped off her tears and wondered out loud, “Why did they do this to me?” From a young age even when Gia did something wrong, she would try to cover up for her. Always been supportive of her and didn't mind getting all the blame.She remembered some years back when they were still teenagers, how Owen was seriously sick, and how everyone was scared that he wouldn't make it. They all gave up hope on him but she didn't. She stayed with the nurses for three days without sleeping to take care of him when no one wanted to. It was on the third day when her body system could no longer take the strain that she collapsed.
Well, should we say fortunately or unfortunately, that it was at this moment that Maverick passed by and noticed Whitney in the kitchen trying to cook.'She has the guts to enter my kitchen like it's hers,' he thought and slowly steered his wheelchair towards the kitchen.He saw all the scenarios of her trying to reach the spices jar and decided to not say anything and just watch her as she struggled. But when he saw her falling, he didn't know why but he felt himself rushing towards her and she ended up falling on his lap.He groaned out from the impact of her fall on his lap while she screamed out of fear.Slowly, She opened her eyes and saw him directly in her line of view. She was both surprised and relieved that she did not fall on the floor.“Don't you know you have weight? Get up from my lap right now. This isn't all those reality shows where the male leads kiss the female leads after catching them in their arms. I'm not kissing you,” he uttered harshly.Whitney frowned and swa
Whitney gulped suddenly feeling nervous. She wondered what he is planning to do and watched him as he removed a stray strand of hair blocking her view and then moved his lips to brush against hers lightly.She was momentarily stunned as she felt the warm and light sensation on her lips. NOt able to comprehend what just happened, she got lost in thoughts and licked her lips unconsciously.She blushed in embarrassment at her action as she was brought out of her reverie by his sudden laughter.“You should see your face right now. It's completely pale from just a tiny little peck. I thought you were screaming just now that you don't want to kiss me but your reaction right now is saying the opposite,” he taunts her.Whitney glared at him frowning before she cleaned her lips. “I don't care about that stupid peck. So now let me go,” she mumbled grumpily.“I'm not holding you,” he smiled cheekily. Whitney looked down and saw that he was not holding her anymore. This jerk! He dares play her li
Lena looked at Whitney suspiciously and she hurriedly shook her head sideways.“Don't listen to him. He doesn't know what he's saying. Why would I hit the vase on his head?” she said pinching Maverick slightly.Maverick winced in pain and glared at her. Lena looked at the two of them confused about why they are making such a fuss over nothing.I don't care what you do to him. If you want to hit him on the head with the vase, then do it. I think you need to reset brother's brain,” Lena answered making her laugh out loud.Maverick became slightly annoyed and was about to say something when Tia suddenly started to cry and since Lena was the closest to the baby, she quickly went over and carried the baby.As she carried Tia, her wails increased despite how Lena walked around trying to pacify the baby.Not able to take it anymore, Whitney walked over to her seeing that all her efforts to pacify the baby are not working.Immediately she carried her, Tia stopped crying to the surprise of Mav
