Chapter 11

At that moment, it felt like she just came back to herself as she pushed him away from her, landing a shocking slap on his face.

Hayes turned the other side, holding his cheeks in surprise. Her eyes moved to his chest where the red light sniper was but she couldn't see it again. She looked up but no sight of anyone.

"How dare you do that Sir Hayes? You just do something without permission who do you think you are?!" She found herself asking even though she knew she enjoyed bit of it, he wasn't a bad kisser after all.

Hayes bit his lips and lowered his head in shame.

"Am sorry... Goodnight" He turned and start walking away under the rain, leaving her all to herself.

"I'm so sorry" She sniffed, trying to fight back her tears as she quickly covered her mouth till she watched him leave her sight.

She fell on her knees, and despite the cold rain she was still in tears.

"I'm really sorry" She continued. Natalie came outside and was shocked to see under the rain like a helpless person.

"Tessa! What are you?!" She shouted, rushing to help her up till they got back inside.

Tessa was now shivering as a result of the cold.

"You need to rest... Are you sick?" Natalie asked but she refused to answer as she walked straight to her room.

"What's going on with these two?" Natalie wondered.

☆NEXT DAY*

The slow beeping monitor could be heard beeping repeatedly, Liam walked in with a face mask and a sad look. Hayes wasn't in yet.

He walked to where Nathan was laying peacefully receiving treatment from the drip and Liam couldn't bring himself to shed another tears. He couldn't even sleep last night because of him.

The doctors made it to known to them that he would survive but they keep a close watch on him cus of his allergies and there might be a slight chance for him not to survive next time.

"Nathan..." He slowly called, holding his hands gently but Nathan couldn't respond, he was in his own state.

"Please wake up Nathan... I miss you, we miss you" Liam muttered, closing his eyes as he cried on his hand.

"Yunno one thing about you, you make people's words get into you. Dad always says we should never listen to whatever someone says that isn't right about you. We have it all, you should have been patient to listen to dad. If only you listened, you wouldn't have been in this situation. I don't blame you tho, if I were in your shoes, only gawd knows what if I'll do more" He added, crying.

"Please wake up...."

Hayes came in to meet Liam still in tears as he kept praying silently for him to regain consciousness.

"He'll be fine Liam" Hayes assured, patting his shoulders but Liam stood away from him.

"Don't tell me that dad! He will be fine? Does he look fine to you?! He isn't waking up dad!" He broke out in annoyance and tears and Hayes quickly hugged him.

"I understand dear, but you need to calm down a little. Nathan is a strong boy and I know, he'll regain consciousness" He whispered and he whined, pulling from the hug.

Nathan's eyes suddenly twitched, his lashes moved this time and his fingers stood back and fell down, his eyes slowly opened staring blank at the ceilings. For a moment, his vision went blurry but slowly he knew he was in the hospital.

"Nathan!" Liam exclaimed happily, rushing to him and Hayes smiled.

A drop of tears slipped out from side of Nathan's eyes causing him to blink before falling on his brother and Hayes.

"L-Liam?" He tried finding his words from the oxygen mask he was wearing. Liam didn't even care, he quickly removed the oxygen mask from him and Nathan started gasping for breath.

"Liam!" Hayes half yelled in surprise, pulling back the oxygen mask on Nathan and Liam stood confusedly.

"He hasn't fully recover! Do you wanna make his condition get worse?! He's still under treatment Liam!"

"I'm sorry Nathan, sorry dad" Liam apologized and Hayes sighed and faced Nathan with a smile. He sat beside him and started rubbing his hair softly as Nathan maintained eye contact with him.

"What do you wanna say? I will hear even through the oxygen mask Nathan. Just say it and I'll do it" He said and Nathan opened his mouth to speak through the mask again.

"T.... T... T... T... Tes... Tessa" He stammered in a whisper and He stopped trailing his fingers on his hair.

"W... where's...Nan... Nanny... Tessa" He struggled to speak again in a whisper and Hayes inhaled and exhaled.

"Do you really want her?" He asked and he nodded slowly.

"What is he saying dad?" Liam asked.

"He wants to see Tessa and not us" He replied feeling jealous and Liam smiled.

"Of course dad"

"You too!"

"Yup!"

Hayes pecked Nathan's forehead and resumed patting his hair.

"I'm here for you baby... Daddy isn't gonna go anywhere..."

SOMEWHERE UNDISCLOSED*

"You messed with me! You fucking went the wrong direction I sent you too!" Emery yelled with great anger as she slapped Tessa for the third time.

"Ahh!!! I wasn't expecting it either! Fucking stop! You're hurting me!" Tessa cried out in pains. She couldn't do anything because Emery held her in captive.

"Don't you dare lie to me! You both fucking kissed! He kissed you! And right under the rain even in danger! I could have pulled that sniper and he'd have been dead by now yunno! How dare you?!" She shouted again and Tessa cried harder.

"Please...."

"Are you really gonna protect the boys with this blind love of yours?!"

"What do you want me to, say it and I'll do it. Just please don't hurt the poor boys, they know nothing!" Tessa screamed and Emery hit her with a plank on the forehead and she lost steps for two seconds as blood came out of her forehead.

"E-Emery?!"

"You don't really know me Tessa Thompson... I fucking have all what it takes to end the Flynn's family right here and right now. Nathan is in the hospital currently receiving treatment and unconscious, don't you think it'll be fun when I start with him first?" Emery grinned wickedly.

"No! Don't! Don't do it please!" Tessa shook her head in fright.

"It'll be easy killing him since he's on treatment and then Liam. I'll do anything if it has to do with getting Hayes Flynn's wealth"

"You're psycho!!! You're a lunatic Emery!!! Arrgh!!! Psycho that's what you are!!!"

"Bitch from the pit of hell!" Emery snapped and slapped her again.

A PARK*

"That was fun Kingsley!" Natalie smiled as they strolled around the park and he chuckled.

"You love it? We should try it again next time" He shrugged and she giggled cutely.

He stopped walking and suddenly faced her, placing his two hands in his pocket.

"So, are you going back to Dexter?" He asked, staring at her and Natalie ignored, sipping from her cold stone juice.

"Let's go, I have a busy schedule to attend to" She made to walk away but he grabbed her hand and she stopped.

"Why are you ignoring the question? You're gonna go back to him right? Because I'm younger and you're older than me" He drawed and smiled slowly. Natalie sighed and slowly took his hands in hers.

"Tessa doesn't know of you and I hidden relationship Kingsley... You just got out from college besides and you know she has always been there for you and...."

"Stop saying that shit! Go straight to your point... Do you still love him?" He replied.

Minutes passed, and she couldn't answer she just kept staring at him. He sighed once and started walking away from her, leaving her there.

"I'm in a deep shit!"

☆ROYAL FAMILY ESTATE☆

"Mom! Mom! Get me out of here!" Dexter banged the basement door angrily for the umpteenth time.

Mrs Lee came out from the kitchen eating an apple as she walked to where he was locked.

He actually wanted to leave but then she restricted him and locked him up like he was a kid.

"Mom! Damn!" He cried out again and Mrs Lee smirked.

"I brought you back to Canada because of your career in music and not for you to be meeting that lowlife girl Natalie!" She half yelled.

"Mom!!!"

"Just stay patient son, our guests are gonna be here anytime soon" She smiled and Dexter cried out again.

"Mom stop all this nonsense!! I love her mom and I'll do anything just to earn her forgiveness!" He shouted from the inside and Mrs Lee threw the apple she was eating apple angrily when she heard that.

"You'll do no such thing! You're from a first class family and we have rules! Don't you dare follow a lowlife person!"

Soon, the doorbell rang and Mrs Lee smiled as she went to the living room. The head maid went to get the door.

"Who's at door the Cecelia?" Mrs Lee asked when she came and Cecilia opened the door, revealing three people, wearing elegant clothes.

"Hi Mr Briggs!" Mrs Lee exclaimed and Mr Briggs smiled, walking in fully with his family.

"Mrs Lee" Mrs Claudia, Brigg's wife waved and she pecked her cheeks turning to see a young fresh girl, standing shyly.

She was also from a rich and wealthy standard. Mrs Lee was the type who believes lowlife are never meant for classic while the lowlifes are meant for themselves.

"Is she the one Mr Briggs?" She asked, going to touch the girl.

"Yes, that's my daughter... Kimora" He addressed and Mrs Lee smile grew wider.

"Hi ma'am" Kimora greeted.

"Aww, you're such a beautiful lady Kimora. I'm sure you'll be good for my son"

"Let me offer y'all something while my son gets ready... Feel at home" She smiled and started walking away.

"This house is so big daddy!" Kimora exclaimed in a whisper when Mrs Lee eventually left and Mrs Claudia tapped her quickly.

"Shush, act classic so you'll get married to her son. We're from a rich background too but not as much as theirs, that's why we need you to get married so we would get more richer" Mrs Claudia grinned and Kimora nodded.

Soon, Cecilia and some of the maids resumed serving different kinds of dishes to them.

Meanwhile, Mrs Lee walked back to basement she locked Dexter in and unlocked the door, he came out trying to catch his breath.

"You're heartless mom!" He fired and wanted to walk away but she grabbed his arm firmly and strongly.

"Don't you dare walk out on me!" She frowned seriously and his jaw dropped.

"Our guests are here, so you have to meet them. Trust me baby, she's just your taste and type of girl you want. So elegant, beautiful and classic" She began dressing his collar and shirt properly and Dexter looked at her in surprise.

"I told you millions of times mom, don't choose girls for me to marry! I'm damn sick and tired of it!"

"Listen to me! I want the best for you because you're my only son and child. Your dad died and left us so I'll give you my world and everything. You must get married soon and that's final!" She stated.

"Meet me in the living room and don't waste my time" She added before walking away.

Dexter punched the wall angrily, biting his lower lips in annoyance.

"Gosh!" He walked grumpily towards the living room. His eyes bulged when he saw the few family in the living room eating.

"Oh, here he comes!" Mrs Lee announced and they stopped eating to look st him.

Instantly, Kimora stood up and rush to hug him happily with craziness written on her face.

He just stood there still in surprise until she pulled out from the hug.

"She's the girl I've been telling you about Dexter... From the Brigg's family, top three billionaires in Canada after Hayes Flynn... Kimora, that's her name" Mrs Lee addressed. Dexter clenched his fist and shut his eyes before opening them back.

"Hi Dexter" Both Mr Briggs and his wife waved at him cheerfully.

"He's so handsome" Claudia whispered to her husband and he nodded once.

"You're getting engaged to her in a few weeks time baby... She's just like your taste, I'm sure you'd enjoy her" Mrs Lee winked funnily.

"What! Mom!"

He yelled with anger. Kimora stepped forward and held his cheeks in her palms and Dexter glared at her hatefully.

"Stop yelling baby... I..."

She couldn't complete her words when he drew her away from him and pushed her to the floor making all of them gasped.

"Don't fucking call me baby! Who the heck is your baby?!"
