*Heart break/Rage WARNING*

Jayden POV

I woke up in the hotel room with my head throbbing and felt nauseous. I slowly sat up and saw everyone had gone home but the door connecting mine to the one next door was cracked open.

I flopped back down and ġrȯȧnėd. "Cora!" I hollered and felt my head rattle.

"Yeah?" Cora asked as she walked into my room. She looked around and sighed deeply, "seems like you had a lot of fun at the bachelor\'s party."

"The guys got a bit crazy," I mumbled and placed the pillow beside me on my eyes. "How was the company event last night?"

"Boring as always. Luckily Jenny kept it entertaining."

I grunted in response before slowly getting up and going towards the bathroom, "I\'m gonna shower. Call Jenny and see if she can meet us for lunch."

"Got it."I went into the bathroom and took a long shower to try to sober up. God, I\'m never gonna drink again.

I came out of the bathroom and heard Cora talking on the phone next door. After I got dressed, she came back into the room.

"Jenny said you can meet us in 30 minutes at the restaurant down the street."

I glanced at Cora and noticed she was staring me down. "Say whatever you want to say."

Cora huffed, "are you going to contact Will and the kids? They\'re probably worried."

I sat on my bed with a pair of socks, "I can\'t talk to them and stay here."

Cora slammed her hand down on the small table in the room, "then go to them!" I looked to her in shock. She wants me to leave? "Stop dragging them and Jenny around! Be a man and make a choice!"

I looked away from her with a frown, "I can\'t choose Will and the kids, my dad made that clear. When Adeline opened her big mouth and told them about Will, he said I would lose everything if I married him."

"And?!"

I glared at her, "do you seriously want me to be with them over your best friend?!"

Her eyes began to well with tears, "they are the best people I have ever met! They love you, not just for money! I love Jenny, but I know she\'s only with you for her career and your wealth!"

I scoffed, "you seriously think Will doesn\'t want my money? He uses it freely."

"As you told him to! And he only uses it on important stuff or things for the kids! He has never used it frivilously!" She sniffled and seemed to fight not to cry, "do you even love him?"

I sighed and scratched my head, "I do, but what am I supposed to do? I have to marry Jenny at this point."

"I can\'t keep this up anymore, Jayden! I can\'t lie to Will anymore! He doesn\'t deserve it!"

"He is strong, he\'ll be fine. He\'ll have anything he needs, so what\'s the big deal?"

"All he wants is you!" She hissed and finally began crying. My heart squeezed; Cora had never cried in front of me other than the first time she met Addie after she was born. "He deserves better than you, honestly!"

Before I could yell back, Cora went back to her room and shut the adjoining door. I sighed deeply before laying back on the bed. He will wait for me, just like always. We will find a way to make it work. Jenny won\'t care if I\'m rarely home so I can spend more time than recently with the kids.

I need to find a replacement for Cora. I can\'t have someone blabbing to Will and screwing up my life.

I was startled when Cora suddenly opened the door again and had her purse and shoes with her. "Come on. We\'re gonna be late."

I followed her down to the lobby and wen walked down the street to the restaurant. When we got there, we got a table and Cora sat across from me. She refused to even look in my direction and had a permanent scowl on her face. "Does she know about them?"

"No."

"Do you plan to tell her?"

"No."

"Are you planning to have kids with her too?"

"Of course," I whispered before standing and lightly kissing Jenny when she walked up. Her perfume was plastered on like usual, just like her makeup.

She sat beside Cora with a smile toward me, "you look worn out. Must\'ve had a fun night last night."

I nodded but, before I could respond, a waitress came to the table. The girls ordered our food, but I just got coffee. Everything else sounded horrible with how dreadful I felt. After the drinks were brought over, Jenny glanced at me frequently as I listened to her chatting with Cora. I was startled out of a daze when Jenny spoke toward me.

"Jayden, the florist called my ȧssistant this morning and said the flowers I want have to be shipped in. They\'re adding $2K to the bill. I told then it was okay."

I nodded and looked to my coffee, "whatever will make you happy. It\'s your big day."

"OUR big day."

I nodded and smiled slightly, "right, sorry. It\'s out big day. I\'m just really out of it."

We all paused as the girl\'s food was placed on the table. "Oh!" Jenny gasped after the waitress left. "Cora, I forgot to tell you! Your phone went off last night at the party and I answered it, thinking it was mine at first."

"Who was it?" Cora asked and she glanced at me from the corner of her eye.

"They didn\'t say. He had a great voice! And... um... he said he RSVP\'d for the wedding but lost the invitation and forgot the location and date. I just told it to him to make one less thing for you to do. I know you\'re worn out!" She smiled at Cora like she wanted praise.

"Did he say if he works for my company?"

She thought for a moment and shook her head while looking back to Cora, "no. He just said he would call Jayden today."

Cora rushed to open her phone and smiled up to Jenny. "Don\'t worry, it wasn\'t someone super important. But, Jayden," she slightly growled my name. "You probably should call him just to make sure he can make it."

I leaned over and took her phone. My heart stopped as Will Maurer came up as the last call she had before calling Jenny this morning. I handed the phone back to her and stood up. "I\'ll go call him. You two take your time and just put it on my card, Cora."

I walked calmly out of the restaurant even though my heart was racing and I held my breath. The moment I was out of sight of the restaurant, I began in full sprint towards the hotel.

My mind was racing and I tried to keep my breathing from becoming erratic. I rushed upstairs and went into the room. I took out my phone and called Will. When it went straight to voicemail, I felt like I was drowning. This can\'t be happening. He\'s probably freaking out and upset. I need to get ahold of him.

I called again and it went straight to voicemail again. He probably blocked my number, but that isn\'t going to stop me. I have to go to him and convince him it was a misunderstanding. I can\'t lose him just because of that dumb woman.

I pulled out my ŀȧptop and booked the earliest flight I could to get to them. I wouldn\'t get there until 3 a.m. tomorrow, but it would have to work. Justin\'s plane is out of service, so I have to go domestic.

I got my things together as I needed to get to the airport within a few hours. Even on a weekday, the traffic to O\'Hare would be horrible. So I ordered a car and rushed to get everything together. Once the car was there, I quickly went down to it and kept trying to call him. I texted him numerous times, but it didn\'t matter; he didn\'t answer. When I finally got on the flight, I sat nervously the entire time.

How am I going to explain this to him? How do I get him to stay? Has he told the kids? He promised not to bolt anymore, so they still had to be there. He won\'t leave me.. He\'s my Omega, my destined partner.
