Chapter 77: Waited in Vain

After every single word that Chase said to her, going to meet him means she’s destined to die from high blood pressure. She cannot risk it and go to find him.

She would think about what to do with her baby. She either raises him as a single Mom or gives him up for adoption. But abortion, is completely out of it. She cannot kill her unborn child because its father is an asshole.

She got ready and came over for breakfast. She couldn’t eat beyond a teaspoon of chocolate and stood up.

“You haven’t eaten anything yet, Rosa,” Pricillia said, glancing up at her daughter. Rosa hadn’t eaten anything in the previous evening and this morning, she’s not eating again.

“I’ll throw up” Rosalinda blurted and almost regretted why she said that. She has been hiding her pregnancy and trying as much as she could not to let her Mom guess that she might be pregnant.

Pricillia and Mike exchanged glances. “You’ll throw up?” Pricillia asked, trying to understand what throwing up in the morning meant.

“I mean to say, it’s too sweet and sweet things irritate me. I don’t like anything sweet Mom” Rosalinda defended.

She just added more reason to arouse her mom’s curiosity. Pricillia eyes travelled from her face down to her belly and went up to rest on her face again.

“But sister, aren’t you the only one who loves taking Chocolate and sugar the most? Have you forgotten that you would even add more sugar to your cup simply because you liked it being very sweet?” Mike asked and chuckled aloud.

“Whatever, I will be late for work” Rosalinda replied and quickly walked away. Oh gosh, how can she give a flimsy excuse that can hardly convince a child?

She shot herself in the leg by saying she doesn’t like sweet things. Oh no, her Mom is smart and can think far and wide in seconds. What could she possibly be thinking now?

“Rosalinda, you are not half as smart as your Mom. Wake up” he muttered silently to herself. She slid into her car and turned on the ignition.

When they arrived at the Hudson’s holding, Jace kissed Arianna sweetly. He wanted to step down when she said “I don’t feel like starting work again today. I need to give a notice of decline to the imperial group and then resume here tomorrow”

Jace reasoned with her and said “Okay. Are you going there in person or sending an email?” He asked.

“I think I will go there in person,” Arianna replied. She doesn’t see it as appropriate to send an email rather than going there in person and telling them she won’t be taking the job anymore.

“They emailed you, right?” Jace asked and Arianna nodded. “Then send an email again. I don’t want you to go there, “he declared.

Arianna sighed. “Jealous?” She asked, chuckling and caressing his charming handsome face. ‘`Yes, very jealous” Jace replied with a smile.

“I’ll return home then. I’ll inform Chase my intention of resuming back so that he can be ready to welcome me” Arianna declared.

“I will tell Chase. Just return home and make yourself comfortable. Besides you haven’t taken any contraceptive” Jace asked, looking serious about it.

“I’m in my safe period. Just finished menstruating two days ago” Arianna informed.

Jace Hudson nodded and kissed her chin before stepping out. He instructed the chauffeur to drive Arianna back home.

As lunch time approaches, Chase calls Rosalinda. He hopes this time, she answers her phone. And his wishes came to pass and Rosalinda answered with a single syllable “Chase”

“I will be waiting for you at the Samson and Delilah’s hotel by 12 pm” he declared and hung up.

Rosalinda sighed and kept her phone by her side. The same Samson and Delilah’s hotel where he had eaten her pussy several times and moaned that he loves her so much.

She has lost count of how many times they went there to chill off with each other’s body. It would have been better if they changed the hotel name from Samson and Delilah to Chase and Rosalind’s hotel.

The same place he wants to meet her for Lunch. Anyways, maybe she should meet him there. She loves him and despite what he’s done to her, she cannot think of hating him. Her feelings for him were still strong as ever.

Daisy called Ethan. He had told her to call him a few minutes before lunch time. But Ethan didn’t answer his phone. After two attempts, she decided to call him again after five minutes.

She called him again but the same outcome: no answer. Daisy ended up calling him Ethan many times and he didn’t answer.

She sent him a text and he didn’t respond to her. Daisy’s eyes went teary. What the hell is going on with her marriage? Why is she losing Ethan?

He didn’t answer his phone, how can he know where they should meet up for lunch? She had booked a table for two in a popular classic restaurant, she’s only waiting for him to answer his phone.

Daisy sniffled. She was confused. Anyways, she decided to send him a text. Perhaps, he would acknowledge that and meet her at the venue.

She drove to the restaurant and waited. She sat down, ordered a champagne and filled with expectation, she waited for her husband, Ethan would meet her there, she supposed.

Arianna changed into a casual dress and stepped out of the house. She needed to visit her apartment and pick some important things in the house.

She didn’t inform Jace. If she does, he would not let her go. She asked that the security guards let her out of the Mansion gate, but they bowed slightly before her and declined.

After what had happened to George that morning, none of them was willing to risk their lives in displeasing the eldest master of the Hudson’s family.

“Please ma’am, the boss would skin us alive if we let you out” they pleaded. In fact, one of the men kowtowed before her. He has a pregnant wife and a little daughter who looked forward to his return home.

He cannot jeopardise the chance of being alive by going against the boss’ order. She rather kicked his ass than risking disloyalty to CEO Jace Hudson.

“He doesn’t have to know that I went anywhere. Just open the gate” Arianna requested. But they wouldn’t.

One of the men simply strode off. The other one understood that his colleague was going to make a call across to the boss.

He soon returned and said “Let’s make it a secret. Please ma’am don’t let the boss know we let you out”

Arianna nodded and walked out. She walked briskly away and hailed a taxi. Her instinct tells her someone was trailing her but she refused to turn back.

She soon arrived at her apartment. But someone was waiting for her at the doorstep:
