I don't know how but being with Jaden occupied most of my time that so many days past without me even realizing. Everyone by the second day knew I was dating the Jaden Carter. I couldn't believe my eyes when Shay showed me an online article published on our "inseparable and stingy relationship."

It said a lot of stuff that neither me nor Jaden knew about. It's like they researched all our life for this article. They even went out of their way to input information about our past. They shared how we were neighbors and went to the same school and also how messy our relationship was.

It had gotten millions of views so quickly. Most people even commented on it, some good while others bad. Most of the comments were just on how surprised they were and how disappointed they were because Jaden chose me, a random girl with zero personality or background. Those comments consisted mostly, "Who even is she?" "She doesn't even belong to the same class as Jaden Carter." "I bet she's only here for the money."

I realized that Shay replied to almost all of the hate comments tormenting them and politely cussing them out. It was funny to say the least.

I guess most of the comments were pretty reasonable but me being a gold digger wasn't one of them. The guys in the comments were a different breed to be honest, half of them being middle aged man trying to degrade Jaden saying how I deserve better. To be honest, I deserve Jaden. Jaden is the best I can ever have.

I guess people in our office building also found out through this article because every time I walked inside they'd start bombing me with questions. They knew they couldn't ask Jaden anything about it so they targeted me. I think no one would've guessed that I could be a possible girlfriend of their boss. Everyone was shocked but there were two people that were stunned the most.

Lee and Jenifer.

While Lee continued to ignore me around the building but remembering to send me a glare every time he walked by, Jenifer was a little more transparent. She one day just randomly walked inside of my office room and took a seat in front of my desk asking if we could talk. Her usual attitude like grin was put to a genuine smile as she talked to me explaining her motives behind all of her actions. She talked about how possessive she is of her little brother. I obviously understood her point of view and I asked her on a coffee hangout so we could talk more.

These days I felt like everything was finally going well. It was getting cold outside, October was really hitting it off hard. Just a couple days ago it was sunny and the weather was clear, recently it's been a little windy and the clouds would stay above our heads all the time. Leaves were turning from green to yellow and from yellow to red.

My daily routine changed too, it went from me going to work and coming back home to me going to work, kissing Jaden good morning and then me going back home kissing Jaden goodbye. I haven't seen him today, he wasn't at work. I called him a couple times but to no avail. I even contacted Chase for some inquiry but he just told me not to worry about it. I know it's kind of suspicious but Jaden does go to meetings that lasts like the whole day, maybe it's one of those days.

I was thinking maybe he's going to surprise me with something since today was October tenth. It is the day Jaden and I first met back in LA in my house. I could still remember that day like it was yesterday. If he doesn't surprise, then I will.

I was now going back home after my short workday. I park my car in the garage and quickly get out shutting the door after me. I walk over to the front porch and I notice that today there was something a little different about the atmosphere.

Not just the weather but the surrounding environment as well. The usual all lights on in the house were all turned off, it was less quieter than normal even though both of my parents were home today. I couldn't hear my mom smacking dishes around the kitchen or even smell any afternoon snacks cooking. I couldn't even hear my dad's voice
booming from the living room like he does when watching the news.
