EPISODE THIRTY

” Ma…, You mean, Mateo? “I stuttered, trying not to believe whatever he’s saying and he nodded.

” He’s Brea younger sister, And I’m sure he knew everything about what we are saying here, Its better for you to talk to him, Maybe he can help ”

” Help?, He concealed his identity from me?, What if he’s sent to ki*ll me?, Why should I trust him? “I asked, My muscle tensed up, One thing I ha*te most is dishonesty, And Mateo has proved to me that he’s someone with that attitude.

Why can’t he tell me?

” Mateo is a very soft man, But he’s smart as well, I’ve been watching him for the past two months I came back here and he’s honest, He doesn’t involve himself in any shady deals, Trust me, He will be the best to use for what he want to do ”

” Why should I believe you? “I asked out of the blues and he squinted before walking closer to me.

Royce had been the closest person to my Dad, But after Brea broke the news of his dea*th, He became forgotten, I still did my best in taking care of his mother for the past six years, Even if he’s to take revenge, He should be on Brea side because My Dad didn’t trust him up till the last minutes of his death, Brea convinced them enough that he’s a bad man and he shouldn’t be associated with.

” You grew up in my hands, I’ve watched you become this great man you are today, I was with your Dad after he had his first child which is you, You will be twenty five this year, Did you think I’m not desperate to win your Dad’s trust back?, You think I’m ready to let your Dad slip away from my hands, Just like that?, Never, I will never quit, By myself, I will ki*ll Brea with my own hands “He swore, trying not to show the pains which is already visible in his eyes.

I patted him and hugged him again.

” I’ve missed you, Royce, Please, don’t leave anymore ”

” I won’t, if you let me stay and rectify all these ”

” Of course, You should stay, I will be ready to help ”

” The first thing we should do is to talk to Mateo, And gain his Trust, Then locate your mom, She will definitely know what we should do in this ”

” If you say so ”

MAGNOLIA POV

*LATE AT NIGHT*

It’s been two days I left home and life has been lonely to me, Maynard left, I stopped picking my mom calls, There’s no one to talk to anymore, My life has been void and I don’t wish to fill it up again, Not to quick, Unless, Maynard will come to me himself.

After our love making this morning, It was as if I relieved him off the stress and burden he has been carrying on his shoulders, Even tho, It lasted for fifteen minutes only, I couldn’t take it off my head, Still.

I missed Maynard so much.

Swimming in my ocean of thoughts, My phone started ringing, I checked it and realized it’s mom calling.

I don’t want to pick it according to Maynard instructions but I can’t help it, I’m her first daughter after all, She must have missed me a lot.

” Mom….”I breathed and I heard her took a deep breath of relief.

” Where have you been?, I was worried “She scolded.

” I was scared because of Mr. Hampson, Scott was his favorite son, I hurt him “I sniffed before hugging my legs to my chest.

” It’s not what you think, Mr. Hampson was angry at his son because he tried forcing you to sleep with him, And he was worried about your whereabouts, He sent Scotts back to school already, And he’s not coming home anytime soon, Now, tell me, Where have you been and how have you been coping? ”

” I called my mom after the incident happened, He gave me one of the company houses, I’m staying here now, Don’t worry about me, I will be fine, You should take care of yourself as well ”

” Are you sure?, You can still come back here ”

” No, I don’t know how to face Mr. Hampson, Don’t worry, I will be fine Mom ”

” Alright, Magnolia, take care of yourself “She mumbled before dropping the call.

I dropped the phone on the table before going to bed to sleep.

MATEO POV

After disentangling myself from her naked body, I stepped down the bed to take my bath, It’s morning already and the time isn’t by my side anymore.

After taking my bath, I dropped one of my black cards on the table, I kissed her breathlessly but she only stirred in her sleep.

We had a long night , She’s not going to wake up anytime soon.

Few minutes later, I entered the company, The junior staff bowed at me, I made sure I reply to each of their greetings before taking the elevator.

Getting to Maynard’s office, He was pacing to and fro in the room, My heart skipped a bit.

Did something happened?

” Good Morning Sir “I greeted and he turned to me.

He had this cold expression which I can’t explain.

He’s really vexed.

” Why did you lie to me, Mateo? “He asked walking up to me, I dropped my briefcase on the chair and furrowed my brows.

What is he talking about?

” I don’t understand you sir ”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

” Why did you lie to me?, Why did you refused to show your identity to me?, Why?, I want to know “He thundered making the whole office shook terribly.

I bowed my head knowing it’s bursted already.

” I’m sorry ”

MAYNARD POV

” I’m sorry “he apologized softly, I pushed my hair back before lifting his face up.

” You should know you’ve caused more harm to me already, And I don’t want this to continue any longer”

” I can still rectify this, I cut ties with Brea already, She’s my biological sister but I decided to separate myself away from her before she cause me more harm, I only want to get closer to you so I can protect you ”

” How did you want to protect me?, You knew Brea kil*led my Dad’s trusted agent ”

” He’s not dead, I saved him myself and took him far away from the country because I don’t want him to endager himself again, Brea thought I wanted to work for her because you picked an interest in me but I will never do that, I want to help you, And that’s all “He said truthfully and I realized he’s saying the truth, Nothing but the truth.

Mateo is a very good man and I see no reasons why he would hurt me.

” How did you intend to help?” I mellowed and he sighed.

” I can help you take down Brea, I knew everything about how she wants to hurt you, All her plans, I knew them all, I will help you ”

” How? “I asked again, I really need to take down this woman called Brea, She has caused more havoc to the family.

” Through the help of your mom “
