The feeling of worthlessness one gets when they stop listening to their hearts was such a soul wrenching feeling...

The same Hattiea felt at the moment.

Her chocolate eyes were stuck out of the vehicle's window blankly as her hands were intertwined with one another, her mind spaced out everywhere but nowhere near the man who was sitting just next to her, driving quietly.

No one spoke a single word.

Hattiea tried to gather her self esteem bit by bit but it seemed like Jayson made a huge mess of her to collected her thoughts so easily.

She had to obey his order at last... even if she did not want to.

Why, you may ask?

Well, because the man driving the vehicle at the moment was not just Hattiea's fiancé. He was once her everything.

Their past was indeed not easy like others but yet it was very beautiful for Hattiea.

He taught her many things...

She too always supported him.

Both were perfect for one another until Jayson decided to cheat...

Jayson was the first man in Hattiea's life. He became such an important part of her life when she was struggling hard for living.

It was true, he stood by her side in her hard times when her life was nothing but an ugly mess.

After her father's sudden demise, Hattiea and her mother lost all sort of confidence in themselves, she was barely an 18 year old college girl with mere knowledge of the world and her mother being a mute woman with no education helped their financial situation no more.

Their life become such a huge tragedy back then, that's when Jayson appeared in her life with brightness.

He not only helped Hattiea but also her mother to be independent.

He became a part of her family and since then, Hattiea decided to devote her career to him solely as soon as he asked her to work with him.

Jayson wanted to step in the entertainment industry, Hattiea couldn't deny his decision and accepted working with him.

Hattiea was capable already, the only thing she lacked was an opportunity which was provided by Jayson.

Her skills were tremendously helpful for Jayson's business.

She had owned all the knowledge and brains since the start.

But never once I thought that the consequences of her being so supportive for him will be this hard to handle one day.

Now, he have became dependent on her.

Entirely.

Jayson was so used to her assist that he could not even manage a week without her at work.

He was frustrated.

Witnessing such a drastic change in Jayson, Hattiea was devastated and upset too.

It clenched her heart in pieces in fear of continuing living with him forever like this...

Because certainly, Hattiea was losing feelings for him.

Hattiea was still too engaged in her thoughts when they had already reached the venue of the event.

Jayaon pulled over but Hattiea still seemed to space out while looking outside the window staring at nowhere.

That's when Jayson started speaking.
"We are here.
Do not forget the fact that we will have cameras watching us, so behave accordingly."

His firm voice brought Hattiea back to reality as she nodded her head to him blankly. He got out of the vehicle first and opened the door for Hattiea while extending his hand for her to help herself out of the car carefully.

The charity event was a huge business oriented get together for most of the agencies, hence most of the guests of tonight will be huge personalities from the business world...

Obviously, that is what the chaos is all about tonight.

Jayson was here to not only clear the rumours about Tiara's pregnancy but also extend his business with people.

Hattiea accepted Jayson's hand while getting out of the vehicle for the sake of the cameras which surrounded them almost immediately after they reached, the flashes and clicking sounds of the cameras were quite noisy for her to tolerate.

Well it has always been the same but today those were specifically loud.

The reason was one...

Tiara's pregnancy being linked to their agency's status.

Many paparazzi wanted to even interview Jayson and Hattiea about the same but Jayson professionally ignored any questions at that matter.

Hattiea faked her smile as soon as she felt Jayson squeezing her hand a bit to act normal around the people.

Soon entering inside the venue, Hattiea and Jayson were surrounded by many other well known entrepreneurs and clients.

Some of them were even their opponents in business.

Everyone's eyes fell on both Jayson and Hattiea immediately with clear curiosity.

Well, no wonder why... they must have witnessed all the dramas going on in the news channels about Tiara.

They wanted to know what Jayson was going to do with her.

Whether to cancel her contract with the agency or to get a new supermodel replace her.

To be honest, even Jayson knew nothing what to do about Tiara, all he knew was to trust Hattiea's business tactics.

He was sure going to ask Tiara to retire for his safe side first then have Hattiea get a new face for the agency because only she has an eye for that!

He can only count on Hattiea in this difficult situation.

Jayson always had a kind personality in the business field, hence it was quite easy for him to clear any sick rumours about him but right now the thing which mattered the most was whether his investors or clients are going to believe him or not.

And maybe that is exactly why Hattiea is here... to make them believe that everything is good with the agency. Funny right?

There appearance together, even in the difficult situation as such, would portray a very good image in front of the public.

That is what Jayson wanted to do!

Hattiea linked her arm with Jayson as he soon started talking to his clients with a professional tone wearing a confident smile over his features.

Seeing both of them together, people started complimenting both gladly and some even wished them to get married sooner.

Hattiea's eyes surely saddened a little to hear that but still she was professional enough to maintain her fake smile on.

She just wanted to get over this event quicker and go home...

MEANWHILE

Dressed professionally, the visuals of the two males screamed heavy richness.

In the silent ride, the disturbed silence occupied the space among the two males sitting on the passenger seats of their expensive vehicle while the driver drove quietly.

Jordan seemed to be in his deep thoughts while looking out of the window mindlessly as Sebastian did not mind to interrupt him as well.

Jordan's aura was heavily demanding and threatening specifically today, Sebastian managed to get him out of his work space to divert his attention a bit.

Acknowledging well that the event tonight is about a good purpose aiming charity for orphanages, Jordan was willing to make time for this.

He had been a very great contributor over his years of success for good social causes.

Let alone, his 30% of income every month goes to the funding for people in need.

He never hesitated to make donations for needy, hence to attend the charity event like such, does not seem to be a worrisome invite for Jordan.

Momentarily he sighed out pinching his temples.

He was sure tired.

Obviously...

He had been stressing himself out way too much since last week, resulting him to lose his sleep and also skip meals on time.

No one knew what Jordan was going through from inside but certainly Sebastian do...

Jordan had his mother in his head all the time even though he busied himself in his work all the time to not think about her.

Yet every time he experiences the same clusters of negativity regarding his mother's health and get worried about her.

She was still in her death bed like before.

No progress was made yet as the doctors still could not find any matched donor for her yet.

Except that of the mysterious woman of that day.

In order to find that woman out, Jordan was restless to no limits as certainly only that mysterious woman could promise the faster recovery of his mother...

"How is your search going, Sebas?"
The disturbed silence inside the vehicle was soon broken by Jordan's husky low pitch tone.

His question was meant for his friend on the right.

Jordan's firm eyes were still eyeing out of the window staring nowhere though he was not as calm from inside as he seemed from the outside.

Sebastian sighed heavily to the same. Defeat was reflected through his orbs as he shook his head.

"My men are still on it. Don't worry, we will find her soon!"
Sebastian managed to answer in a positive manner to not stress Jordan out more though, that didn't work out that well.

Jordan's dead silence responded to Sebastian's reply for few seconds.

The mysterious lady's search was certainly taking a lot of time and labour of Jordan.

He was restless and very desperate to find her.

Acknowledging there was not much time left with his mother, he was very anxious at his own ground as now that he started to lose hopes to ever see his mother back to live again...

Jordan was depressed deep down.

"I know we will but the question is when? I don't want to be disappointed again and again Sebas."
The voice of disturbance was it.

Jordan loved his mother to no end, she was the only family he had after his father left him to die alone.

Jordan cannot afford to lose her at any cost.

At least not this early.

Sebastian knew how tremendously captivated his friend was because of that mysterious woman. He sighed as he spoke next.

"We will find that woman and mother will be alright, trust me!"
Sebastian uttered this time patting Jordan's shoulder to earn his confidence as eventually Jordan nodded to his words trying to collect his positive thoughts together about his mother.

He just hoped to find that woman sooner.

But little did he know that this sooner will be tonight...
