EPISODE TWENTY-FIVE
A tear slipped down my eyes but I wiped it away quickly.
He wants us to break up?
He’s tired of me already?
I nodded with tears dripping down my eyes, he tried to touch but i stopped him.
” Don’t move closer to me ”
” I’m sorry, I can’t protect you, there are lots of things going on in my life right now, I don’t want you to get involved, I’m so sorry ”
” It’s fine, Can I still pass the night here? ”
” Sure, you can pass the night here, No problem “He rushed his words.
Despite my head banging and my whole body in pains, I tried to act strong so he won’t notice his words moved me.
I walked to the room gently and locked the door immediately.
For the first time in years, I cried.
I cried bitterly, My first relationship went down the drain in weeks, Not even up to a month or a year.
I did nothing wrong, why will he dump me for no tangible reasons.
Maynard has the ten folds of Gael’s Family wealth, I don’t know why he signed the agreement.
I walked to the bed and lied down on it, After crying for a long time, I slept off.

MAYNARD POV
I lay my head back on the chair with my face on the ceiling.
It’s quite hard for me to break up with her but it’s for the best, Brea is very dangerous.
She won’t stop at any length just to hurt her.
I’m not ready to lose Magnolia yet, All these will soon be over.
It will.
I might travel out of the country soon because of my mom.
I need to bring her back so she can use all the concrete evidences against her. I closed my eyes and think about the sweet memories we had.
The love making, Her shy personality, Kisses, Her cries, Whinings and the way she talks to me.
” I hope I settle everything soon, Magnolia, so you can be mine, Forever ”

MAGNOLIA POV
I wore one of his big dresses which stops right at my knees.
Walking out of the room, I met him coming with a tray containing food and bottle water.
” Good morning sir “I greeted and he nodded.
” Here, This is for you “He stretched his hand out to me but I shook my head.
” Don’t worry, I will take care of myself ”
” And how will you do that?, Your credit card isn’t with you, And I’m sure you don’t have any money on you as well, I need to hide you because I’m sure you did something bad to Mr. Hampson son”
” Oh!, I will eat then “I mumbled shyly before collecting it from him.
I walked back to the dinning and dropped it on the table.
Just rice and beef stew, Which is one of my favorites.
” Did you prepare it yourself? “I asked and he nodded.
” Yes “He said softly and my eyes widened.
You can cook?
” Yes, and I don’t think it’s a big deal ”
” I don’t know you can cook ”
” Eat your food, Magnolia, Before it gets cold, I need to take you somewhere ”

After eating, he packed the plates and washed it, I tied my full hair into a messy bun before following him out of the house.
We entered the car and he drives away to inky God knows.
After a long drive, He stopped in front of a house, Not too big but it’s really quiet and seems peaceful.
” What are we doing here? ”
” Follow me “He ordered and stepped down the car, I followed him duly just like he said.
We entered the house and he locked the gate behind me.
” This should be the duty of the company, To take care of it staff and attend to their problems, Since they work hard for the progress of the company, We, Alvarez corporations pledged to satisfy our workers needs, I’m sorry I forgot to inform you, A secretary should be entitled to a house and a car as well ”
” Oh! “I mouthed and he nodded.
” So, here’s your house, the other rooms are occupied by other workers working in my cosmetic industry, The clothes, foodstuffs and provisions are there already since you’re not going back home for now, Take your time to prepare yourself for tomorrow’s work, Have a nice day “He said casually before handing me the keys and I nodded.
I collected it from him before walking into the house then I realized he’s not following me.
” You’re not going? ”
” No, I have lots of things to do, Don’t come out of the house for the rest of the day, If you need anything, Call Mateo ”
” Alright “I said with a small smile before walking into the house further.

Two hours later…
I’m done with the cleaning and cooking as well, It was so tiring, The house is so pretty and we’ll furnished.
Thank God, I finally have a house of my own.
Gosh!
My phone started ringing, I checked it and realized it’s Fleur.
” Hey, how are you? “She asked immediately I picked the call.
I sihejd before replying her.
” I’m fine”
” Huh??, You’re fine?, You seem off”She asked in a worried tone, I broke down immediately.
” He broke up with me, He had a marriage contract with Zoe, I don’t know what to do anymore ”
” Who broke up with…., Wait!!, Don’t tell me Maynard broke up with you?, Why?, Why did he have to do that?, Huh… “She asked in an angry tone and I sighed.
” I don’t know, He assured me lots of things, I don’t know why he did this to me ”
” Who’s Zoe?, I want to know the bit*ch he dumped you for ”
” Zoe, Gael sister, She’s the one ”
” Really?, I know what to do then “She mumbled under her breath and my heart skipped.
Fleur doesn’t take it easy when someone hurts me.
She is crazy.
” Don’t try to do…. ”
” Have a nice day, Magnolia, We will talk later “She dropped the call immediately.
Oh, God!
