••••••HOSPITAL••••••
Jayden was rushed quickly to the emergency room, Maya sat down on the floor near the emergency room crying her eyes out.
” Don’t worry too much Ms.Maya, the boss will be fine”.Mr. Mike said.
“Why was he shot? Who could have done this?”. She sobs as Mr. Mike keeps consoling her.
~~~Some Minutes later~~~
Dr. Michael came out to address the issue at hand.
” You all don’t need to worry, he will be fine, he is lucky the bullet didn’t penetrate into his body, he will be fine”. He said and they sigh in relief.
“Can I see him now?” Maya asked.
“Sure, you can go ahead”. he said and Maya thank him before rushing to Jayden’s room also with his men. Jayden was sleeping calmly on the bed with drips fixed on him and a white bandage used in wrapping his shoulder.
” Jayden”.Maya called sadly as she sat down next to him caressing his hand, his men stare at them for a while and excuse them as one of them drop a phone on the table placing it on record.”Am sorry, please get well soon, I didn’t mean to leave, but I have to for the sake of our child”. she continued as she heard a flashback.
~~~~~24hrs ago~~~~~
Maya was dragged into a dark room, she was tied to a chair with her face covered with a black cloth.
“We have her boss”. A guy said talking on the phone with the unknown person before he hung up.
” Please who are you? Please let me go!”.Maya cried out.
“Be quiet! One more word from you again”. he warned.
” What do you guys want from me? Please let me go”.
“Just keep quiet or I will hit you”. he warned and Maya sobbed. just then his cell phone rang and he picked it up quickly.” Yes boss”. there was a pause.”ok boss, we got this”. he hung up and turn to the other guys as he order him to take the cloth off her face, which he did. Maya blink her eyes severally, and she stares at them looking scared.” Now listen to me, if you love your life and that of your unborn child, you will do as we have said”.he said angrily.
“I will do whatever you ask of me, please don’t harm me and my baby”. she said looking frightened.
” Good, starting from now, you are going to end whatever contract you sign with Jayden, the relationship that you two share or you are about to share should end from now on”. he warned.
“Why?”. she muttered.
” Are you seriously asking me that?”. he yelled at her.”Do you love your life? Do you love the life of your unborn child?”. he yelled.
“Yes! Yes, please don’t kill us”. she sobbed.
” Now you will do what I have said, you are going to pack your belongings and leave his house if you fail to do that, we will kill everyone you love the most in this world, starting from your Aunt, and your friend, and then you and your unborn child
and you want to know why, Jayden is taking and I think you have occupied space enough with him, remember we got eyes on your every movement and if you try to tell Jayden about this”. he scoffs.”You will be sorry for what’s coming your way, understand?!”. he threatened and Maya nod her head quickly as tears fill her eyes.
~~~~Flashback ends~~~~
Maya sniffed and stood up to leave.
“I hope you get well soon”. she kissed his forehead and walk away shutting the door behind her, She came out and saw Amanda talking to one of Jayden’s men, immediately Amanda met her eyes with her and rushed to her angrily.
” What the hell are you doing here? Jayden got shot because of you “. she yelled angrily at her, but Maya didn’t utter a word. ” Am I talking to a ghost!”. she raise her hand to hit but someone got the hand, she turned to see it was one of Jayden’s men.”What are you doing? Let go of my hand”. she yelled at him.
“Am sorry Ms. I won’t let you raise your hand on Ms.Maya”. he said as he release her hand.
” Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?”.
“It’s our responsibility to look after her before our boss wakes up, it will be a dead end for us if he finds a scratch on her body, I would advise you to stay back before you got hurt as well”. he said and Amanda stare hard at Maya.
” You won’t get away with this”. she said to her and Maya walk away.
