A NIGHT WITH A STRANGER : CHAPTERS 61 – 70
Maya was discharged and Mia came to visit her, they were both seated on the bed.
“Am sorry I didn’t come to pay you a visit at the hospital, Hope you are fine?”. she asked.
” I am fine, is nothing serious”.
“I was so scared when I saw the news, thank goodness they were caught, Jayden is a hero”. Mia praise.
” Yeah right”.
“What is with that tone, you don’t think he is?”.
” I didn’t say that, every man in his position will do that, he was only concerned about his child”.
“Is that what you think? Well, I don’t think so, I can see he cares about you, not only the child alone”.
” Mia, you and I know why I am here, I am only here because of this child”.
“Yeah, I know, but has he been mean to you since you got here? I know he sounds rude sometimes, but had he ever made this place uncomfortable for you once?”. Mia questioned and Maya sighed.

Later in the cool evening, Maya was on the balcony taking some fresh air, suddenly, she felt someone wrap her with a blanket from behind.
” This will you keep you warm”. Jayden said.
“Thank you”.
” Why are you here all alone?” he asked.
“Nothing, I just needed to take some natural air”. she replied.
” But it is cold out here”.
“Not that cold, I think I like it”. she smiles and Jayden saw a mark on her neck and he recall the incident at the mall.
” Will you like some warm tea?” he asked.
“No, am fine”.
” Are you sure?”
“Yeah, I think I need to go back to sleep now”. she walks away, and Jayden stares after her.
A week passed, and Jayden paid a visit to everyone that was a victim at his shopping mall and he gave everyone free access to shop for free for a week in his mall as compensation for the trauma they went through, they were amazed by her good deeds and thank him.
Maya was pleased by what he did, even his family as well, Maya was amazed at the way Jayden was taking care of her, he sometimes helps her with a head massage when she is feeling a headache and they even stroll around the building talking and laughing with each other, the girls were happy to see both of them flowing well with each other.
Both were relaxing at the poolside chilling with a glass of Orange juice and some cookies.
” This wasn’t a bad idea after all”. Jayden said.
“Really? When was the last time you came here to have a quiet moment?”. she asked.
” That’s because I don’t have time for that”. he replied.
“You are so boring”. They chuckle and they got interrupted from behind by Theo and Ryan.
” Tell me I am not dreaming”. Theo said and Jayden sigh tiredly. “Maya, what have you done to my brother?”. he questioned as they sat down.
” How do you mean?”. she asked confusedly.
“I am just curious to know what you did to my brother that made him sit at home on this day when all he does with his time is work in his office”, Theo said, and Jayden scoff
” He is right, Big bro can’t be seen at home on a day like this”. Ryan said as he bites from his cookies.”Hmm, this taste nice, did the maids make this?”.
“No, I did”. Maya said and they were amazed.
” Wow, you did? This is delicious, I need more of this to take home”. Theo said.
“Me too”. Ryan said.
” Why are you two here?”.Jayden questioned.
“How do you mean? don’t we have access to your house anymore?” Theo questioned.
“You guys can’t be at my house at this time without–” he got interrupted by a phone call, he saw the caller ID and he excuse himself to answer the call, they stare after him. After a long while, he came back.” I have to go”.
“Why? Is everything ok?”. Ryan asked.
” Yes, Theo, you are coming with me, Ryan stays over until we are back”. Jayden said.
“Is something wrong?”. Maya asked curiously.
” Yes, business call, I will see you later”. he said and left with Theo, Maya stare after them and sigh sadly.
“You don’t need to worry, businesses always call in a time like this”. Ryan said.
” But that doesn’t look like a business call, is there something I should know?”.
“Like what? As said before, is nothing to worry about”. Ryan reassured her and she sighs.
Some minutes later, Jayden and Theo were driving along with their escort.
” What’s going on? where are we going?”Theo asked.
“I just got a call from my men, he said some unknown men rage the underworld, but they were caught”. Jayden said and Theo was surprised.
“Who could have sent them?”
“I don’t know, my men said they refuse to talk”.
” I guess this is Lucas doing, he is behind this”. Theo said.
“That’s why we need to find out”.

An hour later, they arrived at the underworld and Jayden’s men followed them to where the Boys were captured, they got to the darkroom to see the boy’s brutal beating and tie on the chair. Jayden and Theo move closer to them.
” With this beating, they still refuse to talk?”. Theo asked.
“Yes, boss”. 1st guy replies and Jayden moves closer to them staring hard at them.
” Look at me”. He said and they raise their faces at him looking frightened. “I won’t repeat myself, what was your mission here?”.he asked and there was no response, he got angry and hit them hard on the face, and they groan in pain, ” I said what was your mission?” He yelled angrily, took a knife from the table and cut each of their middle fingers, they scream in pain.”Now talk”.
“We were sent to get information about the oil implementation in China,” 1st guy said.
“What? How did they know about the oil implementation?”. Theo asked curiously.
” Now tell me, who sent you?”Jayden asked.
“We don’t know him, we only communicate through phones “. The guy said and he got hard hit on the face.
“Get rid of them”. Jayden said and left with Theo. They got to the car and the driver drove off.
” I still can’t believe this, who could have sent them? I don’t think is Lucas, if he is the one, he would have revealed his name to the guys in other to make us know what he is up to”. Theo said curiously.
“Exactly what I was thinking, someone is also interested in the oil implementation”. Jayden said.
Some hours later, Maya kept tossing around her bed waiting for Jayden’s arrival, it was already getting to midnight.
” Try to sleep Maya, you shouldn’t worry about him”. She said and then step out of her room to the balcony and let out a sigh.”why are you taking so long Jayden? And why am I this worried?”. she questioned herself.
“Don’t you know you might catch a cold, staying out here?”. Jayden interrupted her from behind and she turn to him quickly.
“you…..” she rushed to him and was surprised to see his hand tied with a white cloth. “What happened to your hand? Did you get into a fight?”.
“is nothing to worry about”.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, you should go back to sleep”.
” I don’t feel sleepy”.
“Come on, is getting late, I will put you to sleep”. he said, and they walk away.

The next morning, Jayden woke up from his sleep feeling weak, he managed to go to his room and lay on the bed feeling aches all over his body and sweating profusely.
Maya came out of the room all dressed up for work, she notice Jayden was not in the dining room.
” Did he leave for work already?”Maya asked Lucy who was serving her breakfast.
“I don’t know, I haven’t seen him this morning”. she replied.
” Maybe he left for an urgent meeting”. Linda replied from the kitchen. Maya sighed and started eating.
