Chapter Twelve “If you may, indulge me?” Mael quested, having a seat on one of the staged executive chairs.Snow gulped salivas through his throat, two-minded with letting his boss know of a personal secret or risk having to deal with his wrath. He had no right, no audacity to give back the job to whom he specially sacked. But he had to, and to explain that would means letting him in on a little secret. “She once aborted for me, meaning we once had an affair. And she threatened to let my wife know of the little secret if I chose not to give her back her post. I wouldn’t have if she knew I wasn’t in charge anymore, but I couldn’t risk getting that secret out also. So I kind of sorted it out on my own. I propose a sincere apology that I be forgiven.” He conceded, having no choice than to allot the secret. Mael gawked in silence, quite amazed by the truth shared with him. He was about responding when his phone began ringing, he held up an index; to indicate for him to be excused. He

Chapter Fourteen “Sybil befriended Joe to snoop out the information about you that he’s keeping from us. She began courting him so he’d trust her further, and thanks to the fake loyalty we were able to know The Sinners World had a plan in motion to attack your family. We went there, but we found out too late already, so massacre has been committed and only your sister was saved.” Victoria broke down to his understanding, shedding more light on what seems to trigger Mael into acting out. Truly the explanation had some rage cooling off of Mael’s system. But he wasn’t yet tamed, more fueled his anger than the idea of his lover courting his nemesis. He sheltered so much anger, so much pain, so much negative emotions, they almost burst him up from the inside. “I’m sorry Sybil.” He managed to voice the apology, throwing a soft glance in Sybil’s way before getting back on his feet, ready to exit their presence. “Is there anything else I should know or you need me to know?” He quizzed wh

Chapter Sixteen Mael gaze twitched at her words, looking around to see the mini crowd occupying the scene shifting their gaze towards them. He looked back to the staff in front of him, heavily offended. “Take your words back and attend to me.” He demanded stiffly, striving to keep his voice calm and unhinged. “You know it wouldn’t be too polite for me to go get some securities to throw you out of here. Instead of standing there looking like a densed dummy, respect yourself by moving your feet and scram the fuck out of this salon!” The female staff responded, taking a more aggressive stance on her approach with her arms crossing over her chest. That did it for Mael. He has had enough of the disrespect, he was about matching her energy when he heard the door opening from behind. He glanced back to see Blair walking into the salon, his ex wife looking beautiful as always. “What’s going on here?” She questioned the moment she noticed them. “Ms Blair. Good afternoon and how was your

Chapter Eighteen Mael exited the salon afterwards, refusing to amuse more of the gathered audience. He still had a whole dinner to get ready for in such a short time. He went straight to a clothing store, picked out a nicely tailored black suit, sparkling and with a rich fabrics. He got few more jewelries, before leaving the mall to go dress up for his dinner with the Mayor. Just as Mael was walking out of the mall, a figure crossed his path. Blair to be precise, blocking his way from walking off. “Your mother saw me today, warned me to stop chasing you around or following you guys.” He snorted, curving a little smirk. “Now the tides seems to be changing with you Blair, what do you want with me?” Mael asked, folding the clothes packaging he had with him into his arms that crossed over his chest, eyes peering out into Blair’s timid gaze.“We need to talk.”“About what? I’m kind of in a hurry.” He denounced, glancing down at his phone’s screen to check the time. He was now late for

Chapter Twenty.“Mael you need to sit down and stay out of the conversation, this is between me and this uncultured thing of a waiter. How dare him disrespect you, talking to you in such manner. I’m not going to let him get away with it.” She huffed loudly, throwing her gaze off Mael as she resumed criticizing the waiter. “Marlys!” Mayor called in a scolding tone, absolutely irked by his daughter’s outburst on something so casual. “Stop this act of nuisance!” He cautioned strictly, eyeing her with a cold glare that had her crossing her arms in surrender, leeching off the waiter finally. “Apologies on her behalf for her being uncouth, it’s unlike her and I had no idea what got into her to behave like that today.” The Mayor set his sight back on Mael, who doesn’t look anything warm or friendly. “Unlike her to harass an innocent man? Just because he’s beneath her?” He raised his brows, masking a look of disbelief. “No no my dear, I wasn’t harassing him, I was correcting him. He was s
