Chapter 12

Sure, here's the rearranged version of the short story:

"Dexter Baby!!!"

"Don't fucking call me that! Do I know you?!" He almost snapped at her, and Kimora stood up as she dusted her body.

Mr Briggs and Mrs Claudia were already on their feet in surprise.

"Huh... I'm sorry for what my son just did. It's just that he isn't in his right state of mind now and..."

"Mom! What the heck mom?!" He yelled, cutting her off and Mrs Lee gasped in shock too.

"You're Dexter, and I'm Kimora, your wife to be" Kimora flashed a smile and he returned with an arrogant glare.

He grabbed her hands and started pushing her away, Kimora kept smiling thinking he was taking her to his bedroom until they got to the main door and he pushed her out of the mansion.

"D-Dexter!"

"Anyone who has to leave too? Kindly follow your stupid daughter" He shouted and both Mr Briggs and Mrs Claudia look at themselves before rushing after their daughter.

Dexter sighed loudly and shut the door. He turned to walk away but he was welcomed by a slap from his mom.

"How dare you Dexter? How dare you?!" She thundered with great anger and he slowly looked at her in the eye.

"I don't wanna marry anyone mom..." He trailed.

"Just pray I don't lay my hands on that Natalie of a girl or else you won't like the outcome of it." Mrs Lee gritted her teeth and angrily stormed out of the living room.

"You'll do no such thing mom" He muttered to himself.

"Sir, you need to sign here and here on this document for our foundation to begin" Linda said when she came into Hayes's office but he was in deep thought that he didn't notice anyone come in.

"Sir" She called again, and that brought him out from his thoughts.

"Are you okay?" She asked, looking concerned but he didn't bulge about it..

"Yes I'm fine Linda"

"How's Nathan doing? Heard he got into an accident" She added and he looked at her.

"Are you here for business or for gossip?" He shot and she quickly looked away.

"Hand me the documents" He said and Linda handed them over to him which he signed on and gave them to her back.

"Do you need any other thing else sir?" Linda asked.

"I need an old time friend of mine... Give him a call" He replied and focused back on his laptop.

Linda nodded once and walked out of the office.

Out of the blue, Xavier revealed himself in Hayes's office.

"Linda, why do you keep..." Hayes couldn't finish his words immediately he raised his head from his laptop. Xavier was standing there.

Hayes stood up angrily, clenching his fist on the desk.

"Hayes, we need to talk... I know you don't want me here and you aren't ready to give my share of the company bit we need to talk about something else" Xavier explained and he scoffed.

"Get out of my office Xavier! You and I have nothing to talk about!" He fired at him.

"It's about Emery..." Xavier half yelled and Hayes eyebrows grew confusedly.

"And what about her?"

"She's after your wealth Hayes. She doesn't really love you..."

"You think I actually don't know about that? I'm searching for her but surprisingly she isn't around her house any longer" Hayes replied.

"We both know her sister is gonna be back soon from the States" Xavier added and Hayes dabbed his eyes.

"Why are you telling me this? Don't think I'll forgive you!"

"I know no matter how hard I try, I can never gain your forgiveness but it doesn't matter... Just be conscious of Emery and about Tessa, did you..."

"Don't fucking talk about her!" Hayes cut him off.

"Hayes, I... But..." Xavier couldn't even finish his words when two securities ran into his office.

"Escort him out of my company!" Hayes said and they nodded as they started dragging Xavier out of the office.

"Hayes!"

"Give it up for THE ROCKERS!!" The Mc on stage screamed at the huge crowd and everywhere went wild.

Smokes filled the stage as three hot girls ran up to the stage, brimming with smiles.

"Yo!!! What's up?!!" The leader and the main vocalist screamed from the mic she was holding and instantly more than ten guys fainted.

They were THE ROCKERS consisting of Lily, the saxophonist, Ann, the lead dancer and lastly, Madelyn, the main vocalist of the band.

👥F**k! Ann's bangs for me!!

👥 Madelyn is damn hot ahswear!!!

🗣️ Madelyn's angelic voice!!!

🗣️Be my bae Lily!!!

👥 Gosh! I wish I can get an autograph!!!

"Someone scream THE ROCKERS!!" Ann's voice came.

👥THE ROCKERS!!!

The hall shook powerfully with screams and laughter's of the audience.

The lights on the stage suddenly went off and Madelyn's voice came up next so angelic.

🎤 We're the stars!!🎶

🎤 C'mon, C'mon everybody!!🎶

Lily kept playing the saxophone beautifully.

👥 Undefeated Stars!!!

👥Damn! Gawd!!

Kingsley dragged Natalie into the concert hall after they got the tickets late. Kingsley's scream filled the air and Natalie couldn't stop giggling.

They were both crazy fans of THE ROCKERS since teen.

"F**k! Isn't she hot Natalie?!" He asked, turning to her and Natalie rolled her eyes, feeling jealous suddenly.

"She isn't prettier than me" She replied and he laughed as he focused back on the stage.

"We're undefeated!!..."

"What's wrong Hayes? Why are you looking miserable?" Noah, Hayes's best friend said. Hayes kept drinking from his cognac like a mad man, trying to forget about his problems.

"She left! She f**king left!" He screamed frustratingly and some of the people in the bar glared at him but he ignored them, including the bartender.

"Who left?" Noah asked, raising his brows.

"Don't tell me the almighty Hayes Flynn fell in love" He added, teasingly.

"F**k love! That shit is a scam and I can never get hooked on it! Not now, not ever!" Hayes poked his chest boldly and Noah chuckled.

"Then who left?"

"Tessa left... She left out of the blues, tell me man, did I do anything wrong? Am I that arrogant?! I promise to break her but I'm the one breaking up here?!" He said, feeling tipsy.

"Who's Tessa? The Hayes I know is a f**kboy and has only Emery as his girlfriend. I've been away for a quite long and I'm missing a lot of drams already
