My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 23 - Her Glimpse of a Dream

She was in an elevator, going up. From the interior, it looked pretty fancy so she guessed she was in someplace nice. It dinged and opened. Her legs seemed to know the way as they led her down the hall and into an office. Just as she was about to enter she had loud m.o.a.ning noises. She was puzzled. What was happening? But currently, the fury that she was feeling in her veins overpowered every emotion. She stormed in and just as their faces got clearer she felt someone tap her awake. She woke up ready to bite whoever's head off for cutting that dream off. All the words died on her tongue when she saw Jayden's face over her face riddled with worry and her dad not so far behind him.

"Give me your phone," She demanded in a raspy voice.

"What?" he looked puzzled just recovering from the worry.

Jiaye leaned a bit closer to him and whispered harshly in his ear, "give me your f.u.c.k.i.n.g phone!" She could somehow still feel the anger in her veins, so bad, her hands were shaking.

He stood back up and retrieved his phone from his pocket then handed it over to her.

She grabbed it then whispered thanks his way, quickly opened his notebook and typed down her dream. She was not going to forget this dream. Why was she's so mad anyway? It must have had something to do with her directly as she thought about it.

"Seems like your memories are not the only things you've lost." Her father said in a disapproving tone as he stepped forward. She quickened her typing to finish quickly before he got any closer and grabbed the phone from her hand.

"Hi Dad," She said absent-mindedly as she finished up and handed Jayden his phone back.

She folded her hands in front and planted the daughter of the year smile on her face as she faced her dad. His eyebrow twitched a bit but he didn't say anything. She knew for a fact he was going to snap. Hm... It seems like she should have been admitted years ago.

"Your mother wanted to speak to you." He did something on his phone then handed it to her.

Jiaye took it suspiciously and glanced at the screen just to see all he'd done was facetime her mom.

"Oh! My sweet baby how are you?" Tears were flowing freely down her eyes as she assessed her to her best ability through the screen. "Oh darling!" she exclaimed as she took in her bruises and saw the drips she was connected to.

Her aunt then appeared behind her mom and had nearly the same reaction as her mother. They both looked worried about her current situation.

"You guys are being overly dramatic.. I'm fine as you can see. I'm alive." she said.

"Oh honey, we heard what happened," her aunt said in a somber tone, "you still remember me right?"

"Unfortunately," She said in a light tone and rolled her eyes. She chuckled softly on the other end.

"You're lucky your mother need babysitting, otherwise I'd be there to smack some sense into you."

"Where's your man though?" Mom suddenly asked having gotten over her initial worry.

"I don't know," She muttered nonchalantly, "probably on a business run or something," She added making up her ridiculous excuses.

"I told you I'm off work to look after you." She jumped slightly nearly dropping the phone when Maddie's voice interrupted them. She looked up and saw he was just coming in.

"How did you know we were talking about you?" She managed to let out after she got over her original shock.

"You've just confirmed it." He said as he placed a cup of coffee beside me.

It had been ages since she'd last had some caffeine in her system, dear lord she could kiss him right now after giving that cup of coffee.

"Mom, aunt, I'm going to have to call you back in a while. My darling husband just brought me breakfast."

They looked at each other and looked at me wagging their eyebrows suggestively.

"Okay honey. Bye."Her aunt said as her mom waved and they hang up. She handed her dad his phone back and watched as Jayden looked at her weirdly.

" Jaiye, excuse me for a bit. I'll be back in a while. "Jayden wore a look she'd hardly ever seen on him. Pure hot detest. Then she remembered her note.

" Wait a bit. Please help me with your phone one last time." Jayden begrudgingly handed her his phone, not like the idea of staying there longer than necessary.

"What is it with you and that boy's phone?!" Her dad said disapprovingly again while looking Jayden.

"Yea Jaiye, I thought I bought you a phone," said Maddie.

She glanced at her dad and he had a smug look on his face seeing as Maddie had sided with him.

She just copy-pasted what she'd written in his notebook sent it to her phone then deleted it on his disregarding both her 'husband' and dad.

" Here, thanks." She handed it back to Jayden and flashed him a small smile.

"Call me when you need me." Jayden rubbed her head softly then walked out.

Her dad sighed wondering what does Jayden mean. He looked his daughter then quickly said, "Well, if you're in good hands I'll be taking my leave now." He nodded his head at Maddie then walked out.

Great! Everyone had left and only both of them were left.

"You better drink your coffee before it gets cold." He pointed carelessly at the coffee, reached out took the remote and made himself comfortable.

She reached out for the coffee and sipped. A soft m.o.a.n escaped her lips as she felt herself sink impossibly further to the mattress.

" Keep that up and I'll forget you don't remember me and you're a patient." She threw him a look her face flushed as she busied herself with her coffee again. He chuckled softly and turned on the TV.

The last couple of gulps of her coffee were rejuvenating. It made her feel like she was a zombie these past few days and had just been turned back to a human.

"Thanks for the coffee. I feel alive again. I can take the world's bullshit again and still be the most pleasant human on this planet. So tell me, my darling husband, how's our business?" she suddenly asked.
