•••THEO’S OFFICE •••

Theo became worried since he hadn’t heard from Jayden and his number was still not connecting, he went to his office severally to check on him and he was told he hadn’t returned from his trip.

“That silly boy, what is he up to? What has happened to him?” He questioned confusedly, Just then his cell phone rang, and he picked it up without looking at the caller ID.”Yes”. he said on the phone and an unfamiliar voice came through the other end.

“Good Morning Mr.williams, This is Ben, one of Mr.Jayden’s men”. he said and Theo stood up quickly after hearing his brother’s name.

” Yes, are you with him? Did you go on the trip with him?” he asked curiously.

“Yes sir”. he replied.

” Where the f**k is that good-for-nothing brother of mine? Did he know the tension he had put everyone through, most especially the woman he left at home?”. he yelled angrily.” is he there right now? Put him on the phone”. he said losing his patience.

“That’s the reason why I called you sir, Mr.williams has been hospitalized for days now”. he said and Theo went stunned.

” What? w-w-what happened to him?”. He asked curiously.

“Is not what I can say on the phone, We are back now and he is present at the family hospital right now, I should have informed you earlier, but the situation at hand didn’t give me the chance to”. he said.

” Ok, I will be right there”. He hung up looking tense.”Oh, no, this is not happening”. He dialed Ryan’s number as he rushed out of the office.

•••JAYDEN’S APARTMENT •••

~~~MAYA’S ROOM~~~

Mia came over to visit Maya, they were both seated on the bed discussing.

“Look at you, you look weak and sad at the same time, Have you been eating at all”. Mia said looking worried.

” Am fine”.

“Don’t say you are fine, you are not, Even a blind man will know you are not fine, just look how tiny you are”. She sighed and took her hand firmly. ” I have told you to stop worrying about him, he will come back”.

“It has been a week and two days, still no sign of him coming back, Even his brothers don’t know what has happened to him, am worried and scared at the same time”. she said as tears filled her eyes.

” I know and I understand how you feel, I thought coming here to celebrate your success in your test would ease everything, but instead you are not happy”. she said, Paley.

“I just want to hear his voice and then I will know he is fine” ” She sniffed.

” He will be fine, come here”. She pulled her into a hug and patted her back.

••AT THE HOSPITAL ••

Theo and Ryan arrived at the hospital and they were directed to the ward where Jayden is. They were surprised to see the condition he was in as a drip was fixed on him and a white medical bandage was used to wrap his wounded stomach, he was still unconscious

“Oh my gosh, how did this happen?” Ryan asked seeing how lifeless his brother was on the bed.

“He and some board members were attacked during the business meeting in China, We got there too late, and Mr.Jayden was shot in the tummy, We had to rush him to one of the best hospitals in China, but they couldn’t handle his case, so we had to bring him back here to the family hospital”. Ben explained and Theo and Ryan sighed sadly.

” Who could have done this?”.Theo questioned confusedly.

“We are already investigating it, sir”. he said.

” For how long has he been unconscious?”Theo asked.

“For a week now”.

” We need to inform Maya about this”. Ryan said and Ben stopped him immediately.

“You can’t do that sir”. he said and they stared confusedly at him.

” Why?”. Ryan asked.

“Before Mr.williams fell unconscious, he warned us not to let his woman know about this”.

” Is he crazy? Why would he say a thing like that, that woman has been worried sick about him”. Theo quarrels.

“He should know that she is pregnant and it is not good for her condition to be worried sick about him”. Ryan said.

” He warned us not to”. he said and then the doctor Michael entered.

“Doctor, how is he? Will he be fine?”. Theo asked curiously.

” Yes, he will be fine, Jayden is a strong man, no man in this his condition will survive the bullet, The bullet used in shooting at him was poisonous, but he was lucky enough it didn’t penetrate to his spinal cord, it could have been more dangerous”. he said and they sigh tiredly.

“That’s a relief, but how long will he regain consciousness?” Ryan asked.

“He will be up soon before you know it”. he said as he examined Jayden’s body, just then he noticed his movement.” He is waking up”. he announced and they rushed to see Jayden moving his body and trying to open his eyes.

“Jayden, can you hear us?”. Theo questioned curiously.

” Bro, please open your eyes”.Ryan said.

“Maya”.Jayden muttered quietly still trying to open his eyes.

” He said Maya, bro, do you want us to bring her here?”. Ryan asked as Jayden continued murmuring Maya’s name.

“Maya”. he muttered.

” Come on Jayden open your eyes, please”. Theo said anxiously, then Jayden managed to open his eyes weakly as everywhere was a blur.”You are doing it”. he added and Jayden’s finally opened his eyes fully.

“Theo”. he called weakly and turned to Ryan.” Ryan?”.

“Welcome back bro”. Ryan said as they smiled at him.

Some minutes later, Jayden sat upright on the bed as Doctor Michael continued to examine him.

” You will be properly fine in a few days”. He said.

“Ok, doctor, thank you”. Jayden said.

” You are welcome, I will check up on you later”. he said and walked away.

“So, how are you feeling?”. Theo asked.

” Much better”. he replied.

“But how manage you all were attacked at the meeting? Weren’t you all guarded by your men?” Ryan asked.

“Everyone was caught by surprise, we were so focused on the meeting and we didn’t know how they got in, I don’t know if some of the board members will survive it”. Jayden said.

” Who could have done that?”.Theo questioned surprisedly.

“Someone that doesn’t want the implementation of the oil to be launched “. Jayden said.” I thought it was only Oliver’s late father who was against it, I guess there are other people against it as well “. He added.

” Thank goodness you survived it, what would have been the fate of your family, most especially Maya”. Ryan said.”I think I need to inform her about what happened to you”. he added.

“No don’t “. Jayden decline.

” But why? Maya hasn’t been herself since you left, she has been worrying sick about you and you know is not good for her condition”. Theo said.

“I know, I don’t want to stress her or make her tense”. he said

” She is already tense and stressed out because of you, I am calling her now and you won’t stop me, besides I know you want to see her badly, because you couldn’t stop murmuring her name “. Ryan said as he brought out his phone to dial Maya’s number.

•••JAYDEN’S MANSION•••

~~~MAYA’S ROOM~~~

“So, what are you going to do now? Do you want to come spend some time at my house before he returns?”. Mia asked.

” I guess that will be the best idea”. Maya said, just then her cell phone rang, and she saw the caller ID.” Ryan?”. she said and picked it up quickly.”Hello Ryan”. she said and there was a pause.”What’s going on? Have you heard from Jayden?” she asked and there was another pause, suddenly she stood up in shock.”W-w-what? Jayden? at the hospital?”.She sputtered and hung up looking surprised.

“What happened? What did he say?”Mia asked curiously as tears filled Maya’s eyes.

” I knew it! I knew it! I knew something was wrong”. she sobbed.

“What are you talking about?” she asked trying to calm her down

” We need to hurry to the hospital now, Jayden has been hospitalized”. she said as she rushed out of the room with Mia behind her still trying to ask for more details. The girls came out from the kitchen to see the rush Maya was making like someone who was being chased down by a dog, They entered the car and the driver drove off heading straight to the hospital as instructed by Maya.

•••BACK AT THE HOSPITAL •••

~~~Some minutes later~~~

Jayden was still having a chat with his brothers when suddenly the door went opened revealing Maya’s sad and teary face, Jayden suddenly felt guilty and relaxed immediately after he caught sight of her, he stared lovingly at her as the pain he felt just suddenly disappeared.

“Maya”. he called and she ran into his arms crying uncontrollably as he caressed her hair. The rest were staring firmly at them. Maya pulled away slowly from his arms with their face still inches apart and their eyes glued together, quickly she locked lips with him softly, and Jayden responded quickly without hesitating. The rest was caught off guard by their sudden action and they rushed out quickly so as not to invade their privacy. Jayden stroked her hair gently as he deepened the kiss while Maya caressed his face. The kiss was filled with passion and desire for each other, and soon they pulled away to catch a glimpse of their breath. ” Maya”. he caressed her face as he wiped off her tears with his thumb.

“You got me worried Jayden, I was scared something bad had happened to you, truly, my instincts were right”. she sobs.

” Don’t cry, am fine “.

” But you are hurt”. She stared at his wrapped tummy.” How did this happen and when did it happen?”.

“Is a long story and I don’t want you to worry about it”. He stares at her eyes lovingly and he continues to caress her face.” Gosh! Heaven knows I have missed you so much”.

“Me too” ” She sniffed and he locked lips with her again as his hand traveled down to her waist, both were kissing tensely and longing for each other.

~~~At the corridor ~~~

Theo and Ryan sat down on the chair while Mia leaned against the wall.

“What happened to him?” she asked sadly.

Theo and Ryan sighed.

“He was shot” Ryan replied and Mia gasped.

“Oh my gosh! Hope it wasn’t that serious?”.

” Not really, let’s just be thankful that he survived it”. Ryan said.

“This is bad, Thank goodness he is fine, Maya was so worried sick about him”. she said.

” Yeah”. he said and they were quiet for a moment before Theo broke the silence by standing up.

“You guys stay here, Let me get some food for us, I know jayden will be so hungry after laying down conscious for a week”. He said

“Sure, be careful “. Ryan said.

” Ok, be right back”. he left.
