"Can you stop fu*king making me feel so pathetic, Hattiea? I am here to fu*king talk!"
Jayson's voice held weird deepness which Hattiea never heard before.
Irritation...

He was irritated because of her continuous avoidance.

He turned Hattiea around holding her arm to face him again in a rushed manner making her stumble back a bit with his action.

Now right there, that never happened before.

The Jayson whom Hattiea knew before, was never this frustrated to force his actions on her.

Then what happened today? He seemed to be a whole different person now as his eyes seemed angered...

The action took Hattiea off guard as she looked at him with shocked widen eyes filled with heavy offence but he only eyed her with clear desperation.

The audacity of him to behave that way in front of her even after doing all those horrible things... was unbelievable.

He still have guts to do so...

Such a shameless man!

"I don't want to talk to you!"
Said Hattiea soon in protest, after recovering from the shock of the minute.

She tried getting out of his hold to leave again but the hold now got more tighter surprisingly.

Looking back at Jayson with anger developing inside of her, Hattiea uttered angrily.
"Let of of me, how dare you touching me?
"

But caring less about her worry, Jayson was still desperate for a confrontation...

"Hattiea... can you for once behave maturely? I get it I made a mistake and I am truly regretting it. I am also well aware that I cannot change anything from the past but running away from me like this is only making things more difficult between us. Is that what you want? You want to escape me forever?"
Jayson uttered still holding Hattiea on his grip as his eyes were lingered on her with an unreadable stare.

Does he not understand that whatever he was doing is only making Hattiea feel more pathetic?

Maybe not.

Poor thing just needed time to face him again normally but here he was forcing her to a conversation for which she was obviously not ready for...

How can he be so heartless to start hurting her now?' Wondered Hattiea as she glared at Jayson with clear wrath for a minute.

By that affected Jayson less, all that mattered to him was to convince her to come with him tonight for the event and for that, he did not even care to use force on her...

Tonight he needed her at any cost!

"I get it you are mad at me for breaking your heart but I am mad at myself too. I want you the most right now but you keep on dodging me away like I am nothing. Is that how it works?"
He raised another statement of worry for Hattiea while angrily pressuring more force on her arm which was still on his hold but still choosing to not respond anything relevant to his bother...

Hattiea only scoffed at his selfishness.

After staying with him almost 4 years, she was quite acquainted with this kind of acts. He had really bad temper issues in their relationship but luckily it never crossed any limits.

Not until today.

Preventing her to talk to any male employee or business partners was all he had restricted before to ease his possessiveness towards her but today, he started using his force on her.

How pathetic' wondered Hattiea as she sharpened her glare.

Though his actions never harmed her this badly before but now... now his touch alone seemed too corrupted to her...

It was like some other man was touching her and she was not okay with it!

"Look at your audacity to touch me like this... remember that I can get you arrested with only one call!"
Spoke Hattiea as she managed to shock Jayson with her choice of words almost immediately.

Never the Hattiea, Jayson knew before used to speak so bitterly.

Betrayal sure sharpened her traits, she no longer cared about him being her fiancé whom she loved the most in the entire world.

Hence that was not digested well by Jayson who loosened his grip on her arm almost immediately, being little alarmed about what she just said.

True was that, she could really get him arrested if she was not joking at the moment... which she was obviously not!

Jayson gulped a harsh lump down his dry throat as terror stroke his spine, he cautiously took his hand back off as Hattiea as she still glared at him with the previous wrath...

None managed to look away from one another as Jayson soon spoke again...
"Do you have any idea how am I even handling everything alone?
That unwanted pregnancy fu*king made headlines Hattiea! Tiara is of no use now, no fu*king one wants her anymore!"
Jayson showed his concern for his failure.

True was that, even Hattiea got to hear the chaos in the news channels about their agency.

It was all controversial.

Tiara was seemingly the only successful model of Jayson's agency who was in heavy demand before but since the news of her being pregnant was leaked...

Many producers and directors cancelled contracts with the agency which included her plot.

Hattiea can actually guess how Jayson was handling it all alone, his business was all messed up at the moment...

But the same mess was created by him alone!

After losing Tiara's popularity like that, agency would be left with no other supermodel to sign contracts with other producers or directors.

In conclusion, they are going to face bankruptcy soon in the next possible 8 months if they cannot get another supermodel for their agency!

And to find a new face so quickly was no easy task to perform either...

Hence Jayson needed Hattiea at this moment to handle his work, he was desperate for her.

Because only she had an eye for the best face. Only she can get a new model for the agency and save Jayson from facing bankruptcy!

Acknowledging everything still Hattiea chose not to react at this as she still stood being unbothered, Jayson shook his head being defeated as he spoke with his awful attitude again...

"We almost lost our 70% of contracts because of all the pregnancy rumours and then there is your drama at the end of the day!"
Frustrated Jayson mindlessly uttered at last to which Hattiea looked at him with sharp eagle eyes.

Her head perked up to eye him with dare while sooner he acknowledged what he just said being nervous.

"Drama?"
Hattiea whispered repeating the same syllable he just used, like it was some sort of funny word to laugh at...

With a short chuckle of mock her eyes reddened a little while Jayson experienced wild goosebumps in his entire built with only that one look of her.

"You think my feelings are drama?"
Hattiea questioned him while staring right in his eyes making him awkward.
He remained silent for some seconds as he seemed to find adequate words to explain his early statement.

His eyes were firm but it still had a small hint of guilt in it.

He can afford to lose anything but not Hattiea... he knew.

Because when he had nothing, Hattiea was there to help him built his career and at the moment when he was dooming, he still needed her!

His entire world was turning upside down!

He cannot lose her, never.

"I respect your feelings Hattiea but sometimes you act too stubborn to react properly. I promised to marry you, whatever happened absolutely cannot change my love for you. I would never go back on my words. I meant it when I said I love you, trust me."
Those same promises he repeated again which strangely now held no meaning for Hattiea...

It was as if he spoke after thinking a bit to not hurt her again but it was too late now.

His tone was soft while cupping Hattiea's face with his right hand, he proceeded to come closer to her to kiss her head but before he could have broken the line of respect, Hattiea moved back immediately.

"Trust and you?"
Hattiea commented passing a stern look to Jayson.

Her eyes were shooting fire at the very moment.

Meanwhile getting triggered by the claim, Jayson released a strict frustrated sigh...

He knew well, Hattiea was no easy woman to fool.

She was the mastermind on his business, the woman who can never be scammed with words...

She was such a goddess whom no man with easy personality can afford to even think about.

The betrayal she received from Jayson was the very first heartbreak she ever experienced. She let him fool her once because she was in love with him and back then she chose to be an idiot but not anymore.

Not anymore she can be tricked so easily.

"Hattiea give me a chance-"
Jayson tried to persuade her again but only to get cut off in the middle, Hattiea uttered without any emotions.

"What are you planning to do with the child?"
She questioned with seriousness as Jayson immediately froze at his spot for some weird seconds as what it seemed like her question caught him off guard.

He was not ready for that discussion.

Not at the moment!

Guilt clouded him again but he still did not tear his gaze away from Hattiea's cold stare.

"As I said, it was a mistake and it meant nothing to me so Tiara will have to abort it!"
Jayson answered sparing a minute to built up an answer for Hattiea.

He was talking about to get rid of the unborn child now, which had no fault in everything...

Poor thing had to be a part of a man like that? Such a cruel human was he to even think of that!

"Do you think your 'mistake' is that small to be able to get rid of so easily? How heartless you could be to drag your fault to the extend to end an innocent life?"
