FLEUR POV

Immediately I got to the address she gave to me, I called her on the phone.

” Hey, where are you?, I’m there already “I breathed.

” I will join you shortly ”

After a while, Magnolia walked up to me looking so pretty, But I could see sadness in her glowing eyes.

” Hey, how are you? “I asked, feeling concerned.

Magnolia is a strong lady, And she loves keeping things to herself.

Me seeing her in this situation made me so sad, I can’t help but sob.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

” I don’t know, I’m tired, Magnolia, I did every possible thing I could do, Just to keep him, To the extent of giving him my virginity, I’m sorry “She sobbed, I pulled her into a hug.

This is the first time in seeing her like this.

” Don’t worry, I will sort everything out, you didn’t lose him yet, I’m sure he will come back to you ”

” Come back to do what?, He’s so cruel, he won’t look at my direction anymore, There are so many ladies at his beck and call, I didn’t worth him ”

” Just gather yourself together and act like it’s nothing serious once you get to the office tomorrow, Don’t try to do anything crazy ”

” I won’t “She said softly before leading me into the house.

I sighed softly, I hope he will come back to you Magnolia.

MRS. ALVAREZ POV

I ushered him into the small house, He looked around and sighed.

” Welcome to my humble abode, Brother “I said softly but he didn’t look at me.

” For how long are you going to continue with this, Layla?, Are you out of your mind?, First of all, Why will you leave your husband’s house because of Brea?, Does that make any sense to you?, This lady was ready to hurt you, And she ruined your house already! “He yelled at me, I only smiled, Not moved by his yells.

” I didn’t let this happen, It wasn’t my fault, My husband allowed it “I replied softly before drinking the last drop of juice inside the can before dropping it on the table.

” If you stayed in that house, Your husband will be convinced that you didn’t do it, You should have waited a a little bit ”

” Brother, Gabriel will be six this month, I left my husband’s house when I was four weeks pregnant, Making it almost six years I left, Yet, No one cared about me, No one looked for me or asked about my whereabouts, What did you expect me to do?, It’s clear that no one needed me ”

” Everyone needs you, Gabriel is still young, And Maynard is pushing everything all by himself alone, Your husband is sick, And he’s at the point of death, All because of Brea problems, you left your husband with a devil incarnate, She didn’t give him peace of mind! “He Screamed at me, Tears stung in my eyes but I wiped it away with the back of my hand.

There’s no way I’m going to break down in front of him, Never, Once I start crying, I will submit to whatever he wants to say or any commands he give me, I don’t have any choice.

That’s my weakness.

” He told me to leave, He said I don’t give him the peace he craves for, He called me s lut because of Brea, I think he’s happy ”

” Layla, Do not forget the times, When our parents disowned you because of this man, They refused to give you blessings in your marriage because they don’t like him, Yet, you chosed him, You toiled day and night because of him when he lost his job, Now, Your first child, Maynard is the youngest and richest entrepreneur here in California, All because of your hard work, There won’t be Alvarez without you!, But here you are, sitting like a coward, This is not the Layla I know! ”

” What do you want me to do?, I’m tired? “I sobbed, His words stung me deeply in my chest.

I don’t have any choice than to give in to what he says.

” I want you to meet someone, Who will help you, Help us and Maynard as well ”

” And who’s that person? “I asked, curiously.

” Mateo ”

FLEUR POV

Immediately I returned to the house, I barged into Mateo’s room and met him counting bundles of money inside the briefcase.

I gulped down nothing, This is a whole lot of money, A bundle will go a long way in settling my debts.

He looked up to me and smiled, That alluring smile.

I closed my eyes sharply before walking up to him.

” You didn’t tell me that you’re working in Alvarez corporations ”

” Why should I?, You didn’t ask”He said with a shrug, It took me lots of energy to gather courage.

He’s so handsome in his blue cardigan, He sat on the table, Staring at me deeply.

” Why did you went there?, Don’t you know it’s dangerous? ”

” He hurt Magnolia, I don’t have any choice than to go there to fight for her ”

” Is that how to fight for your friend?, stop behaving childishly, Magnolia could have lose her job if Maynard isn’t in love with her ”

“If he’s in love with her, Why did he break up with her? ”

” Do you want to know?, Are you sure you will be able to handle the truth? “He asked, His eyes, gleaming, I knew it’s something confidential or he doesn’t want to hurt Magnolia, Maynard can’t break up with her juts like that.

Anyways, I didn’t need to know.

” No, I don’t want to know”

MAGNOLIA POV

I woke up the next morning feeling light headed, My mouth bitter, I was feeling nauseous.

Getting down the bed, I rushed to the bathroom to take my bath.

After taking my bath, I wore one of the new shirts I found inside the wardrobe with a matching skirt, Hanging my cross bag across my chest, I walked out of the house for my place of work.

Mom called me countless times the previous day but I didn’t pick it up, Who knows maybe the Hampson family is looking for me already?

What I did was really bad but I didn’t regret it.

Mr. Hampson doesn’t joke with his son, even though, he’s a very disciplined man, He won’t let me slide away from his hand.

I will be punished for what I did.

Getting to the office, Maynard was there already.

I took a deep breath before walking into his office.

” Good morning sir “I greeted bowing slightly and he nodded without looking up at me.

” Get me my coffee, And be prepared to attend to Miss. Zoe, She’s coming here today “He ordered, Tears stung into my eyes.

Did he have to hurt me like this?, I did nothing wrong to him. I don’t want to break down in his presence so I just nodded before leaving the office.
