Cold Showers — Chapter 64

After a while, Jayda walked out of the bathroom wearing one of Sebastian's shirts. He quickly masked his worried face with a cool one. Things might not be the same for them when she learns about Aaron so he might as well want to cherish every last moment before she found out the truth.

"My shirt looks better on you than it would ever look on me."

Jayda blushed, "Stop being such a tease."

Seb approached her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I'm serious."

"I guess it's normal for your things to fit me because I'm your other half."

"Are you Indirectly proposing to me?" Sebastian teased.

"Oh please!" Jayda rolled her eyes as she freed herself from Seb.

"I'll take that as a yes!" Seb smiled.

"Whatever makes you sleep beside me at night." Jayda winked before going over to the mirror to admire her belly and possibly look out for any changes.

"I think I'm going to need to shop for maternity clothes sooner than I had thought." Jay smiled at her nine weeks old belly.

"I agree," Seb said before gently turning Jayda around so she could face him. "You both mean the world to me, I promise to love and cherish you guys forever." He said sincerely, sealing his promise with a long passionate kiss.

..........

A few days later.

Jayda never paid any attention to news, gossip and chats about celebrities, she just wasn't interested in stuff like that. Although she wouldn't be surprised if they've started spreading rumours about herself and Sebastian because of how clingy they've been in the past few days.

Just like every other weekday, Jayda was working on another case with her interns in one of the conference rooms. She sat at the head of the round table, going through some files while the other four interns sat at the far end of the table, brainstorming on what Jayda told them to research on.

Absentmindedly, Jayda heard someone mention Sebastian Miller. It was from the Tv. She ignored and continued her work. They were probably talking about his company or ranking him as one of the top richest eligible men in the country.

What Jayda Wright heard next made her world crumble. With a heavy heart, she turned her attention to the TV and listened to every detail of what the celebrity gossip host was saying.

'Sebastian Miller has a Son!!!! Can you all believe that???. Both of them were sighted yesterday in one of the most expensive malls in the city. A woman also accompanied them' the host termed her to be the mother of the little boy.'

Then a picture was displayed, a picture of Sebastian and his alleged Son who looked so much like him. They looked so happy."

Jayda's eyes got heavy with tears. She felt an indescribable pain in her chest, She felt betrayed, She wanted to scream out loud and ask the universe what she had done wrong to go through so much pain. She thought she had found her happily ever after but she was so damn wrong.

Before Olivia could approach Jayda, She stormed out of the conference room. Liv had no doubt that she was going to confront Sebastian.

She reached for her phone with her shaky hands and dialled her elder brother who picked up after a few weeks.

"Seb."

"Yes, Olivia." He answered from the other side.

"Jayda knows everything, she knows about Aaron. It was just on the news."

Sebastian cursed softly. "Where is she now?" He asked.

"She just stormed out of the conference room, I don't know if she is heading over to your place to ask you about it."

"Please Sebastian, try to explain to her. Plead with her and make her see reasons why you hid the truth from her. I can't bear to see the two of you apart and in pain. Please fight for her."

Sebastian swallowed painfully. "I don't know Liv. I don't think she will want anything to do with me anymore but I'll see what I can do." He replied with a heavy heart. "Thanks for the info, we will talk later." He ended the call.

Sebastian buried his face in his hands and dreaded what the next few hours of his life were going to be.

Yesterday was Aaron's birthday. He clocked three yesterday so Sebastian spent the whole day with him. He took Aaron to the mall to get new stuff for him after which they went back to Katie's place to celebrate the little boy's birthday with a few of his friends Katie invited.

Seb was brought out of his thoughts when someone stormed into his office. His heartbeat increased knowing who it was......

Jayda!!......

He could see the anger and hurt in her teary eyes.
