The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf

CHAPTER 27 - MAEVE'S DISMAY 2

Maeve rushed and got her phone from the cushion and she dialed Wright’s number again. And just like Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

other times, it rang but he did not pick up.

“See, this is what I am talking about,” She said to the girls.

“Okay, maybe I should try it one more time so that you girls would see for yourselves,” She said.

She dialed the number again and just like the first time, her call was not answered. She was already

frustrated and in anger, she tried to smash the phone on the phone but fortunately, it landed on the

cushion.

“I would definitely not forgive him for this” She spats.

Davina could perfectly understand what Maeve was going through and she had compassion for her.

Even though she was sure that Wright is a good man and would not intentionally be so mean to his

family, she still believe that there was no excuse for him to stand his wife up for this long and never

deemed it fit to get across to her.

“What about you call his office? From there you can get to know about his whereabouts” Davina

suggested.

“That sounds like a great idea. Mum let’s call his office” Riley agreed.

Maeve looked at the two girls and she dialed Wright’s office. The phone rang and a male picked it.

Maeve was excited and tried to hide it.

“Hello Mrs. Wright” the receiver greeted.

“Hello. Please I am calling to find out if my husband is at the office” Maeve said.

“Is he not with you yet?” the receiver inquired.

Maeve was already getting irritated by the questions she was been asked “If he is here, why should I

be calling”

“Sorry ma, he went for a meeting with Riona. But he was supposed to come to get you at home as

soon as he was done with the meeting” the receiver replied.

“I see. Thanks” Maeve hung up.

“He went to see Riona and by extension Cindy” Maeve announced to the girls.

“Okay, if he had gone to see Rio, then that is not a big deal. But do you suspect he is having something

with Cindy?” Riley asked.

“I am no fool. Riona would have picked her over me”

“But you are married to dad now. And both he and Cindy don’t strike as such sort of people” Riley said.

“You know very little Riley, this is not the first time that Wright would be doing this. He got away with it

the first time but this time, if he tries to play down on me, I would show all of them that I am a fierce and

rigorous werewolf and I am not that weary thing that he used to know” Maeve smirked.

“It is okay mum, I still believe that you are taking this too far and this is not you” Riley tried to calm her

mum.

“Don’t dare me, Wright, don’t dare me” Maeve growled.

“Allow her Riley, humans can stretch one beyond his limit,” Davina told Riley.

“This is not you Davina. What the hell has come upon the both of you?” Riley asked.

She was surprised at how her mum and her friend are taking this. She believed they are taking it too

far.

“You are yet to understand Riley. When it comes to matters of the heart, you do everything to make

sure it is unhurt” Davina said.

“I have been hurt too, but that should not turn me into a beast,” Riley said.

Davina smirks “A beast?”

“Okay, I agree that people already see us as beasts. But that also does not mean that we should act as

one” Riley said.

“We are werewolves for a reason, Riley. A beast should not allow itself to be used as a push-around

pet” Davina said.

Riley exhaled “What do I even know about who I am”

………………………………………………..

Riona's phone began to ring. It was a call from Mary.

She picked it and said “Hello Mary”

“Rio, I called to inform you of your meeting by 5:30,” Mary said.

“I had almost forgotten. Thanks for calling to remind me. I will be in the office right away.

“Bye Rio” Mary said.

“Okay Mary, Bye,” Riona said and hung up.

“What is it, Rio?” Wright inquired.

“I forgot I am to have a meeting in less than twenty minutes from now. It's actually with some of the

representatives from the organization that is interested in continuing our ongoing project” Riona replied.

“I was not informed that the meeting is to be held today,” Cindy said.

“It must have been an oversight on the part of Mary. I was the one that shifted it to today. I will be

completely busy with school from next week” Riona replied.

“Shit” Wright exclaimed.

“What is the matter, Mr. Wright?” Cindy asked.

“I completely forgot about my agreement with Maeve” Wright replied.

“I think you would have to call mum, later on, to explain the situation to her,” Riona said.

“I will” Wright agreed.

“Right now, we would all head back to my office,” Riona said.

“Us? I have to go home right away” Wright objected.

“No, you will not dad. You said you have something important to discuss with me and you are yet to do

that. And moreover, the meeting that I am about to have is a very crucial one as a vital issue

concerning Rennet Aid, its ongoing project, the investment, and even the upcoming project would all be

discussed at the meeting” Riona said.

“Really” Wright never imagined that what Riona had just told him was the reason for the meeting.

“Of course, dad, and your presence would be well needed and appreciated. I wouldn’t want you saying

that I took steps without first informing you. Moreover, drastic decisions would be reached at this

meeting” Riona said.

Riona was not entirely saying the truth. But just so she could achieve her aim, she does not mind

chirping in a lie or two if that would get her dad to follow her and keep Maeve waiting.

“Since the meeting is this important, I see no reason why I should be absent from it,” Wright said.

Cindy could only stare at Riona in disbelief. She does not understand why Riona would resort to that

much lie just so as to make her dad sit in one boring meeting. However, she kept calm and watched the

drama between father and daughter.

“After the meeting, I can hear what you want to say to me,” Riona said.

“That would be great. So let us all leave now” Wright replied.

They came out to the parking lot of the restaurant and discovered that some cars were obstructing

Wright’s exit and it would take some time to get the owners to come to move their cars to give him the

right of passage.

“Maybe we should all use Cindy’s car. You can get someone to come to move the car later” Riona

suggested.

“That seems like the best idea now. We've got to hurry up if we don’t intend to be late for this meeting”

Wright agreed.

They all went into Cindy's car and she drove off.
