” My mom?, How come? “I asked in shock staring at him.

Just the , Royce came out of the room where I told him to hid himself and Mateo gasped immediately he set his eyes on him.

” Royce…, how have you been?” He asked and they hugged immediately.

” I’m fine, Thanks for the last time, I really appreciate ”

” You’re welcome, I’m sorry this came from my sister, She’s just blinded by greed ”

” It’s fine “He mumbled and Mateo nodded.

” Aren’t you curious as well, Royce, He said my mom will help “I yelled feeling desperate already and the turned to me.

” Chillax, I know whatever is going on your mind now, Trust me, Your mom has nothing to do in Brea’s plan “Royce replied.

I took a deep breath before taking my seat.

” What I meant is that, Your mom was with your Dad all through his life, And I’ve been away from California for studies, When I came back, I learnt Brea hided Dad, According to their plans, They faked his dea*th, The initial plan was too take all the money they made in the business then, But after Brea fell in love with your Dad, They made your mom sign a document, Unknown to her, It was a marriage contract to seal the deal, Since your mom came from a poor background and Your Dad was hiding her, Brea threatened to expose your father so all his investors and business partners will not have anything to do with him again, That’s who your mom left, With Ava, Apart from that, They framed your dad again, The marriage used to seal the deal, Brea made everyone believe that your Dad took the largest share which caused stroke for my Dad, Leading to his death ”

” So, Your Dad isn’t dead?, And My come came from a poor background?, She left because she didn’t fit into my Dad’s standard?, Really?? “I asked in shock and Mateo nodded.

This is too much to believe, It seems he’s saying the truth.

” I suspected something fishy then, And Brea decided to take me out of the picture, She suceeded, But I’m back now, To correct everything ”

” What did you think I should do? “I asked faintly.

” We will have to come up with a plan, You had a marriage deal with Zoe’s family, For now, The marriage will have to be on hold, But don’t tell anyone yet because I haven’t come up with a plan ”

” Will this work out?, I don’t want Brea to go Scot free ”

” She won’t, I don’t care if she’s my biological sister, I will help you”Mateo, promised, I nodded softly.

GAEL POV

I knocked on the door for the fifth time and winced, The door is so hard, I’ve been banging my hands on it for the past five Minutes but no one is answering.

Turning to go, I heard a creak, I turned back and thankfully, It was Fleur.

” Hey”I whispered and she look up at me, She seems shocked and angry at the same time.

Geez!, This is going to be hard!

” What are you doing here? “She snapped closing the door behind her and I sighed.

” I need your help, I want us to talk, I.. ”

” I don’t think I have anything to say to or listen to you, We aren’t friends by the way, Why will you want to talk to me? “She yelled.

Fleur is the most stubborn person I’ve ever meet, She’s the exact opposite of Magnolia, I wonder how she cope with her.

” I want you to help me with Something, I want to meet with Magnolia, I don’t know maybe you can help me ”

” Really?, You want to meet the girl you treated like a trash in front of your girlfriend, A childhood friend of yours?, Have you no shame?, Did you think she will want to talk to you or see your dirty face?, You’re such a joker “She said with distaste and anger written all over her.

” If you think she’s not going to talk to me, Then, let me do it myself, Just give me her house address, And I will do the job myself ”

” It’s not going to help, Magnolia cut you off already, And I’m glad she did that ”

” Did you think me dating Alena was my own will?, Alena was a mistake “I yelled feeling frustrated already.

Why’s no one trying to understand me.

This is too annoying.

” Then, why didn’t you carry us along? ”

” I’m in love with her, There’s no way I can tell her without me hurting her, I respected her for it, I thought she will be able to hold on for me, Not knowing she’s going to move on so quickly ”

” I hope you will be able to amend things between you guys, I don’t know maybe I’m going to help “She muttered, Her eyes softening a little bit.

” You can help me, You should be able to help me “I muttered and she nodded slowly before paving way for me so I can enter.

” Thank Goodness”I muttered slowly.

” Have you been able to convince her? “Zoe asked immediately I entered the house and I nodded.

” Yes, I was able to convince Fleur, And I’m sure she will be able to help “I muttered coldly and watch her filing her nails.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Zoe has been helping me a lot lately and I couldn’t help but be grateful to her, Even though, I don’t want to appreciate her so quickly since I’ve not been able to win her heart yet.

” How has things been going between you and Maynard? “I asked softly and she nodded.

” He’s loosening up with me already, I hope I will be able to win his heart ”

” Alright then ”

THE NEXT DAY.

MAGNOLIA POV

I walked into the hall immediately, Maynard was sitting on the CEO seat with Mateo beside him.

I just entered the office and they announced there’s an urgent meeting in the conference room.

Only God knows what’s happening.

After we all assembled, Maynard stood up and the atmosphere was tensed .

” Good Morning Everyone, I’m sorry I called an urgent meeting this early morning, This will come as a shock to everyone but I’m sorry to inform you that I will drop this position temporarily for my Dad’s wife, Brea for the meantime so I can treat the illness I was diagnosed of months ago, Leukemia… ”
