Chapter Nine Mael walked into the hall holding the event, glancing around for an empty seat before locating one close to the left corner of the hall. “That’s a perfect place to seat.” He pointed at the vacant table, voicing out to Lena as he gestured towards the seat. “Yeah that’s cool.” Lena concurred, following as he led them through the decorated path that leads to the seat. They arrived, and like a gentleman Mael pulled out a chair for her to sit, which she took after flashing him a smile. He went around, occupying his own space before flagging down one of the serving waitresses, instructing her to assort their table with the necessaries. Food were brought in and served on their table, as well as drinks; different types of meals and drinks, wines inclusive. Mael could feel his stomach grumbling at the savory sight of meals. He waited for them to finish setting up before grabbing a cutlery, spreading a napkin over his lap, another on his neck, before dishing out a meal to di
Chapter TenWhile deeply mortified, Neil turned around with head lowered in shame as he stalked out of the scene. He walked past Blair and her boyfriend’s table. Both who seemed stunned by the situation, they weren’t expecting the outcome. Blair especially had her eyes scrutinizing her ex husband, there was something weird and strange about him. It was as if their separation hit a switch in his personality. He stopped worshipping her feet, and wasn’t dense like he usually is. And the change in his personality messed with his appearance, even while claded in cheap clothes, his face card wasn’t denying and actually standing out. His well contoured face, defined jawline and a sharp looking eyes from afar. His hair remained messy, not too long but full and matted his head with the right amount. He has always been an handsome man, she just wasn’t into look and wanted money. Blair couldn’t help the attraction seeding into her just by looking at him, for a split minute she actually was
Chapter Eleven Mael woke up the next day, dressing up and setting his path straight for the company. He arrived quite early, seeing as employees resumed to their working post for the day. He strolled through the hallway, racing with his steps, totally unaware of his surroundings until he bumped into a feminine figure. “Oh mine, sorry, sorry. I’m really sorry, I wasn’t looking and-“ He stopped his statement mid sentence, seeing who he bumped into, the familiar scent of her murky vanilla scent wafting down his nostrils. Her glowering gaze matched his, filled with both rage and hatred as she also realized who bumped into her. “Were you blind?” She grilled in a spiteful tone, index pointing at her visionary orbs in reference to her sentence. Mael stared at her, remaining calm and silent, regretting he ever apologized. “You think an apology would cut the bottom of you hitting your poverty ridden self with me?” Her lips remain parted, wearing a flabbergasted expression. She heaved a v
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 Thirteen Mael came in terms with the news, feeling as the sadness draped over him, pulling him into a reserved state as he stared blankly into the silence. Victoria and Sybil purposely left the scene, wanting him to reminisce alone before going back to him. Minutes went by, and Mael remained silent, seated in the same position with his face stoic and unhinged to the chaos going on inside of him. He was bawling inside, his family of many years. Pain shot through him, emotional pain filled him up at the thought of their demises. He wanted to cry, but there weren’t any tears coming out. He could feel as the sadness torn him up from the inside. His father was no more, also his mother, and the people he referred to as closed loved ones. He couldn’t protect them, he lost them to his enemies. For no reason, they murdered his entire family line. He has nobody but his sister left, the only humans on earth bearing the last name Ze’Ev. That surged within him a different emotion,
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 Fifteen Snow gasped, words of Mael sinking deep into his hearing through his whispers right into his ears. He pulled away, a devilish smirk painting his lips as he anticipated his agreement to his plans. “If I may Sir, that’s cruel.” He commented softly, pity shunning through his gaze.Mael remained unfazed, “It’s only fair she gets a taste of her specialty.” He shrugged, walking away from his side with his hands crossed behind him. “You are going to do by my order, and your negotiation for my forgiveness will be considered. Goodbye Snow!” He let him know, walking out of the office afterwards. He hadn’t taken far strides when he bumped into his friend, Steve. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m really really sorry. I have no idea, please forgive me.” Mael was a bit taken aback by his shaky reaction, he was frightened as if he committed the mistake. It was Mael who bumped into him, not the other way around.“Are you okay?” Mael had to put a hand on his shoulder, and spoke out befo
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
