A NIGHT WITH A STRANGER : CHAPTERS 61 – 70
Jayden was sound asleep when a constant ringing of his phone woke him up, he groan quickly and manage to take the phone call.
“Yes”. he answered weakly and Lucas’s voice came from the other end.
” Hello Jayden, is good you pick up my call”. Lucas said.
“What the f**k is the meaning of this? Why are you calling me?”.
” Well, I guess someone is in a bad mood today, well let me lighten up the bad mood, just called to inform you that your suppose fake fiancee is having a meal with me in my house right now”. he said and Jayden scoff.
“What are you talking about? Listen I am not in the mood for your nonsense, this is not the right time”. he said and try to hang up and Lucas stop him.
” you don’t believe me? How about you come and see for yourself, I told you I will take her away from you, see ya”. he laughed wickedly and hung up.
“That b! start!”. he grunts angrily and dials Maya’s number, it rings, but no answer.
The girls stood outside the kitchen still waiting for Maya’s arrival.
” What’s taking her so long? is been an hour since she told us she is on her way”. Andrea said looking worried.
“Yeah, maybe she got caught up in traffic”. Lucy said.
” I hope so”. Amma said and just then they saw Jayden all dressed causally to leave, they wonder why he is so in a hurry despite being weak. “Where is he rushing to?”.
” Maybe he decided to go to the hospital”. Linda said and they sigh tiredly.
Maya was brought to a magnificent building, her eyes were tied as the guys keep dragging her inside the building and she keep struggling with them. Lucas saw them from his room and he smirked.
“Let me go”. Maya yelled until she was forced to sit down.” Who are you guys? What do you want from me?”. she asked. Lucas came down from his room to the dining table and he order his boys to take off the blindfold, they obey and take off the blindfold, Maya blink her eyes for a while before she finally opens them, she went surprised to see herself in a strange place seated on the dining table with mouthwatering lavished in front of her.
“Hey pretty”. Lucas said and she raise her face to him quickly.
” You?”.
“Yes, do you miss me?”. he teases and Maya frowned at him.
” What’s the meaning of this? Did you ask your boys to drag me here?”.
“Yes, I did”. he replied.
” Why?” she yelled.
“To have a meal with me”.
” Are you been serious right now? How dare you ask your boys to drag me here over to have a meal with you?”.
“Yes, I ask you to have a meal with me, but you decline severally and no one rejects an offer from me”. he said and Maya scoff.
” You are pathetic”. she stood up to leave. “I am leaving”. she said angrily and try to leave but the guys behind her drag her to sit.” what is the meaning of this? Why are you forcing me against my will? I don’t want to have dinner or any meal with you, can you just let me go?”.
“No, is either you have dinner with me or I will keep you here forever until you decide to”.
” What is wrong with you? I said I don’t want to,”.she said angrily.
“ok, is your choice”. he turns to his boys and asks them to take her inside and lock her up until she agrees.
” What, you can’t do that”. she struggles with them.
“I can do what I want because it’s my house,”. he said and ask them to take her away, they try to drag her upstairs and yell for them to stop, but Lucas ask them to leave her alone.
” Fine! I will eat with you”. she said unfriendly and Lucas smile.
“Good, now you are talking”. he stood up and help her adjust the chair for her to sit down and he returned to his seat.” Now let’s eat”. he smile at her and started eating, Maya stare hard at him as she use the cutlery to cut her meat, she was about taking a bite when suddenly the door was wide open revealing Jayden angry look, Maya spoon fell off her hand as she met eyes with Jayden and Lucas smirk still enjoying his meal.” it took you so long to get here”. he said as he sip from his water. Jayden walked up to where Maya was seated and dragged her up, Maya could feel his arm very hot on hers.
“I-i” Maya sputtered as she couldn’t find a word to say. Jayden stared hard at Lucas for a while and turn to leave when Lucas’s words stop him.
“You got lucky this time, the next time this happens, you won’t be so lucky to take her away, so, keep her in check next time”.
Lucas said, but Jayden manage to control his anger and walk away with Maya, Lucas smirked and continue eating.
Jayden got into the car with Maya and asked the driver to drive off as he rest his head backward feeling weak, Maya stare at him nervously.
” I can explain what happened in there”. she said.
“Why did you follow him to his house to have dinner with him?”. He questioned as his eyes were closed.
” I didn’t follow him to his house, his men drag me there”. she said and Jayden open his eyes and turn to her. “I rushed from the building after Linda informed me about your health, I was trying to stop a cab when suddenly those men parked in front of me, before I could say anything, they drag me to the car and blindfolded my eyes, not until they take off the blindfold that I found myself in his house”. she explains.
” Why didn’t you reject it when he forced you into dining with him?”.he asked firmly.
“I did, he threaten to lock me up and never let me go until I accept to dine with him”. she replied, and Jayden sighed as he took her tenderly.
” I am happy I came earlier to stop him”.
“But, how did you know I was at his house?”
“Lucas is a very cunning person, he called to inform me about it, he is just trying to get on my nerve”.
” Don’t worry, I promise to avoid him from now on, but first you need to go the hospital, you are burning up with a fever”.
“No, I don’t want to, am fine”. he said weakly.
” You are not”. she said. “driver, can you please take us to the hospital”. she said and Jayden told the driver not to.” Why? You need to see a doctor”.
“I will be, I just want to go home”. he said and felt dizzy as fell on Maya’s lap. ” take me home and get me a home remedy and I will be fine”. he said.
“Are you sure?”.
” Yes”. he said and adjust himself properly on her lap, Maya gulped nervously. “you don’t mind if I rest on your lap for a while?”.
” No, is ok, if it makes you comfortable”. she said.

Some minutes later, they arrived home, and the girls rushed out to see Maya with Jayden as she help him out of the car and left for his room, she lay down on the bed and cover him with the blanket.
“I thought he was going to the hospital”. Amma said as they stand at the kitchen entrance.
” Me too, maybe he went to get Ms.Maya from work”. Lucy said, then Maya came over to them.
“Why did you bring him home rather at the hospital”. Linda said to Maya and she sigh.
” I tried, but he refused”. Maya replied.
“Did you happen to meet each other on the way?”. Andrea questioned.
” Not really, is a long story, but right now, I need to make something for him to help with his fever, do you have any home remedies?”. she asked.
“Yes, what are you going to make for him?”. Linda asked.
” I was thinking of making a mushroom soup for him, it helps a lot with fever”.
“Nice, let’s get it done”. Andrea said and they started with the arrangement.

A minute later, Maya came to Jayden’s room with the tray of soup and place it on the table, she move to the bed to wake him up.
” Mr. Williams”. she called and felt his forehead. “I think he needs to run a cool bath first”. she left for the bathroom to run a lukewarm bath for him and then she moved to help him up from the bed.” Come on, you need to take a bath, please take off your shirt”. she said, and Jayden stood weakly.
“I can’t, am too weak to do that, you can help me with it”. he said as he sit back on the bed.
” ok,”.she sputtered as pull closer to him and started to unbutton his shirt, Jayden stared weakly at her to see how nervous she looks. she finally undo the buttons and takes off his shirt, she gulps nervously at his bare chest and she turns her face away. “is done, you can take off your pant”. she stood up and turn her back against him, Jayden stood up and take off his pant, then left to the bathroom, he groans immediately he steps into the bathtub.” Are you ok?”. she asked as she stood by the doorstep.
“Is cold”. he replied.
“Is not, you actually feel like that because of your fever, I made the water lukewarm”. she said and Jayden keep groaning inside the bathroom.

“Are you sure?”.
” Yes, I think I am going to freeze to death”.
“Ok, am coming in”. she opens the door slightly, using her back to enter. she moves slowly to the heater and turns it on a little.” how about this?”.
“Much better”. he replied and relax well on the tub with his eyes closed.
