Bethany looked at Jenna and said, “You should be off to bed now. I'll make arrangements for you” She said with an assuring tone.
Jenna didn't say anything else as age simply walked away heading toward her bedroom, while Erica fixed her eyes on her departing back until she was finally out of sight. When she was totally out of the scene, Erica picked up the phone and looked directly into the screen as she prepared to scold Bethany.
“I told you right from the beginning, didn't I? Whatever you do is going to have a bad effect on the little girl but you wouldn't listen to me.
“Have you seen what I was afraid of? Jenna is traumatized”
Erica said as tears seemed to well up in her eyes and she tried to fight them off. However, Bethany remained unfazed. Instead, she said,“ I want you to connect with Mr. Alcatraz and make her sign all of the agreements before the end of the month”.
Hearing this, Erica was stunned.
“What are you even saying? I'm talking about your daughter and you are only concerned.......”
“I want you to do as I said, quit making a fuss about things” Bethany shouted.
The expression on her face darkened as her fists clenched tightly and her knuckles turned white due to how tight she was holding her hands.
Erica was shocked at this scene. She had initially thought that Bethany had changed and forgotten all about her revenge on the members of the Medina family. However, the reality was far from being true as she couldn't hide the truth behind her fake acts anymore.
“She will be going down to the Royal range for the signing conference later in the month, so when she gets there everything will be sealed without fuss,” Erica said.
“Good, we need to make her give up things on her own as soon as we can. Otherwise, there will be a delay”.
“I understand, Benny. However, what about Jenny? She has a school activity during the week, what would you do about it?” Erica asked as the expression on her face suggested that she has run out of ideas.
“Don't worry about it for now. I'll find a way out and send you the details later” She waved and looked away from the screen.
“Oh is that so? You better make sure of a great solution”.
“Shut up!”
Bethany shouted before she ended the call at once before Erica could have a chance to put up an argument
After ending the call, Bethany leaned against the edge of the couch and heaved a heavy sigh as she ran her hands through her messy hair at this point. She looked very much unhappy.
Meanwhile, Danica was sitting in front of her dressing mirror wiping off the heavy makeup on her face.
Each weight she lifted was seconded by a few seconds of deep thinking as she seemed lost in thought. She clasped the wiper tightly while her mind drifted away into a wonderland as she looked subconsciously into the mirror.
Just then, there was a crack in the door as the sound of the door being slid open drew closer and closer.
“Mommy? Mommy!” Jordan called as he pushed the door gently. Upon hearing his gentle voice, Danica jerked out of her daze and was about to flare up in anger. However, she tried to control her tone as the thought of Matilda keeping a watch lingered in her mind.
“What are you doing? Why have you come to my room unannounced? Don't you have any manners at all?” She asked in a cold, calm voice as she kept aside the wiper in her hand. Jordan shuddered.
Seeing his wane reaction, Danica quickly readjusted her composite before asking him any more questions. This time, the tone of her voice was calm and soothing to the ear.
“Come to mommy, Jordan. Did you have a bad dream? Is that why you're scared to sleep alone tonight? Want to sleep over at mommy's ?” She asked taking his little hands to her. Jordan was once again shocked at the kindness and he couldn't help but fear the worst soon after.
“Do you want me to sleep beside your side? Don't worry, it was just a bad dream, nothing will happen” Danica said warmly when she noticed that Jordan didn't say anything.
“That's not it, mommy. I didn't have a dream”. Jordan finally managed to mumble with a shaky voice. Hearing his words, Danica was taken aback as she stopped asking him any more questions.
“Oh! That's not it? Why are you up then?” She retreated her hands as she picked up a new wiper to clean off her and make sure the little boy summoned courage and said, “We have a parent and child event at school. I wanted to tell you about it, If you would have some time left to come over with dad” Jordan said in a shaky voice.
“What did you say?” Danica quickly Depp the wavy brush in her hand when she heard the rest of his words.
“You want your dad and me to come to your school?” Danica asked to be sure of what she heard.
However, Jordan shuddered when he saw how she reacted. He was hyperventilating with fear in his innocent eyes; he thought that Danica didn't like what he said, so he was afraid that she was going to have him punished.
Seeing that this was a golden opportunity to force Zayn to come over, Danica quickly changes the tone of her voice. Her facial expressions became liberal, and the calmness of her voice could melt a heart.
“Is that why you are so sad?” She asked and the little boy nodded his head in response.
“Don't be sad, I'll get daddy to come for your event at school” She drew the little boy closer to herself and stroked his head while she spoke. She could feel the fear in the little boy as she held him in her arms.
What a Coward this boy is!.why is he hyperventilating so much? Just as she was still embracing the little boy the door to her room slid open once again, revealing a beautiful woman in her fifties. Although she was about fifty years old, she still looks so young and beautiful. Her appearance made it very difficult to decipher her real age.
“Jordan, why are you still awake? You should go to bed now, you still have school tomorrow ” Samantha said as she made her way into the room.
“ Yes grandma, I'll go to bed now”.
“Oh look, your nanny is here to take you. ” She looked behind her to see Jane standing right there.“ Come on in, Jane go tuck him to bed”.
Jane came into the room and picked Jordan up as she took him to his room for his night's rest. After she left, Samantha walked up to Danica with a curious gaze.
“What are you planning to do now, Danica?” Samantha asked.
“It's nothing. He was just scared after having a nightmare, so he came up to me for warmth” Danica replied nonchalantly as she casually stood up from the front of the mirror. She didn't spare Samantha a glance as she did so. She simply walked toward the cabinet.
“Do you think you are talking to a kid? Why would Jordan come up to you because he had a bad dream?” She asked as she walked toward the bed.“ The last time I checked I'm much closer to Jordan than you are, so why didn't he come to me when he needed comfort? Instead, he came to you knowing that you will hurt him in the long run if you get pissed off”.
“I don't care what you think about this matter, mom but I have told you the entire truth, you can choose to believe what you want instead”. Danica looked back at her and said.
“Okay if you say so. I came here to let you know about the developments, everyone else has signed the property papers”. “Mom? How did you do it?”
She quickly rushed over to Samantha. “Let me have a look at it. Are these if you get their signatures without any fuss? I don't believe this” Danica asked with surprise written all over.
Seeing her reactions, Samantha stood up from the bed and stood beside her before saying, “I'm not like you, I have my ways of handling things”
“But how did they sign the documents without making a fuss about it?”
“Do you think I would tell them about it? Not a chance, I took their signatures without explanation. You don't have to worry about it, just prepare for the conquest”.
“Thank you so much, mom ”
Danica exclaimed as she threw her hands around Samantha in a warm hug.
“Yeah, sure! like you'll listen to me if I ask you to” Samantha mocked.
“But I always listen to you, right mom?”
“Come on, you have a meeting to attend”.
The next day, Due to the Kindergarten's weekend activity and Jenna's desire to have a father, Bethany asked Erica to take Jenna to Cafe Blue. While she handles the rest.
On the other hand, Danica played dress up as she made her way toward Jayson's office, took a deep breath, and knocked on his door.
“Yes, come in,” Zayn answered coldly.
Danica entered the room with a smile plastered on her face as she headed toward him.
“Hi, Zayn!” She said as she walked up to him.
Zayn raised his head to see him coming towards him with a smile. He stared at her while putting down the documents in his hands.
“And just what do you think you are doing here?” Zayn asked in a cold voice, forcing Danica to stop in her tracks.
The smile on Danica's face disappeared for a split second before it was instantly replaced by another round of cute smiles.
Danica clenched her fist and said resolutely and said: “ Jordan's kindergarten is holding a family day on the weekend. I am not a fan of this is the best and a few others are doing it. Since you knew about the situation of our son, I wanted to ask if you would like to come along and participate in the event this weekend?" Danica asked while still maintaining the smile she had on.
Zayn arched his brow. He understood what Danica was trying to do right here. He tapped his slender fingers on the table, while his eyes darted around the room.
Suddenly, the expression on his face went dark and he stood up abruptly "Why did you dare to come over here without my permission? Didn't you hear me when I asked you to stop going around without reason? And just who gave you the idea that I would.......”
“ Zayn, our son needs us. He's been crying and got sick because of this..”
“I don't care about your silly.......”
