Chapter 2: Unexpected Action

Morris groaned in pain and held onto his waist. He didn't expect Kevin to make such a move.

He had never made such an intelligent move. How was he able to do it? Kevin has always been the dumb husband of Mia and he has enjoyed treating him badly for a year now.

The men rushed closer to him and assisted him up. But he pushed them away angrily and turned to look at the maids who had been watching the whole drama unfold. He felt embarrassed.

"What are you still doing there!"

He thundered. "Get lost!"

The maids scampered away.

Morris yelled several times before he turned to Kevin again. He was very upset. How could Kevin have made such a move and the men couldn't even stop it?

"You are making a big mistake!" he yelled. "I'm telling you! You are!"

Kevin didn't respond. A dark frown was on his face as he stood up slowly. More images flashed across his eyes. The dizziness increased but the headache was gone now. The images became clearer now but it seemed like his heart was racing as he went through them.

"I...I'm Kevin, Kevin Di Lorenzo..."

He muttered to himself, "Could I have sunk so low?"

At that moment, the door of the Perry family's villa suddenly opened. A man and a woman walked in. The woman frowned upon seeing the disarray in the hall.

She said discontentedly, "What are you doing again? You've made a mess in the house!"

"Mia!" Morris called suddenly, pulling Kevin out of his trance. "Did you see how your husband was going to kill me?"

Kevin looked at Mia. There was a young, handsome guy beside him. He was dressed in an expensive Italian suit.

He looked at Mia, but wasn't as excited as he used to be. Not now that he knew who he truly was. He smiled calmly instead.

"Welcome home, Mia," he said calmly.

The man beside Mia held her by the waist and moved her slightly away from where she was initially.

"Be careful, you could have stepped on glasses," he said, trying to show Mia he was very caring.

Mia regarded the whole mess for a moment and she felt disappointed and unhappy. A dark frown played on her face. She looked at Kelvin. "You should all stop this children's play."

Kevin frowned, he knew that Mia didn't care about him in the past years, but he was bleeding now! How could he be bleeding and Mia thinks it's child play?

He was disappointed. Mia has always ignored his maltreatment and pretended she didn't see how her mother treated him. But he didn't expect her to take such a matter currently with such levity.

He didn't let it bother him. Instead, he looked at the man standing too close to Mia.

Mia doesn't like to bring business home. So, he wondered who the man was.

"Who is he?" he asked instead.

Mia frowned, she didn't expect him to ask her such a question because Kevin never cared about her business before. He was just a person who lost memory.

At first, she thought she was only going to worry about his lost memory but now, Kevin had added dumbness to the list. How could he be interfering in her business?

Mendy eyed Kevin levelly and looked at Mia. "I think you may introduce us to each other first?"

He asked with a smile.

Mia felt ashamed suddenly. She felt reluctant to introduce Kevin to Mendy, not with the mess that she met Kevin in. He was disgracing and she wasn't even moved to introduce him.

Kevin saw the sour look on Mia's face and knew he was reluctant to tell Mendy who he really was to her. This made him sad.

"Well, Mr Mendy," Mia cleared her throat meaningfully. "He's my husband," she said softly as if she was forced.

"And this is Mr. Karim Mendy, a very important business partner of our family."

Mendy smiled and added, "And also a good friend of Mia."

He grinned slyly. "This must be that famous husband of yours?" He said in an offensive tone, while still sounding like he had an intimate relationship with Mia.

Kevin looked at him, smiled. "I'm pretty famous, no?"

He replied calmly.

His reply made Mendy laugh.

Mia cleared her throat meaningfully and looked at Kevin. "You should get clean out of this mess." She looked at the Mendy. "Mr Mendy, please, let's go to the meeting room."

Mendy's hand was still resting on Mia's waist. Kevin looked at them and frowned.

Mendy saw Kevin's expression and faked a gentle smile.

"Actually, I think it will be nicer to talk in your room, won't it?" He said provokingly and looked at Mia with lust in his eyes. "Your room has better privacy and what we are about to discuss is equally very important."

Mia felt awkward especially because of Mendy's hand that was still around her waist. She needed Mendy's help and didn't want to upset him.

"Ok then. Let's go."

Wendy smiled softly, feeling satisfied in himself.

"Wait,

I don't think it's good for you two to be alone in the room together, right?" Kevin asked with a smile, but it was clear that there was more hidden in his smile.

"What do you mean?" Mia frowned and looked at Kevin, who was completely different from

usual.

"I mean, I can go in with you, so no one will spread rumors. This is also for your own good, right?" Kevin's voice was still calm, but there was an unmistakable note of certainty.
