Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Maria felt her blood boil at the sound of her name. She wasn't expecting to ever see her in her life again. The spark on her face was immediately replaced with pain and bitterness. Romeo knew that this visitor was up to no good. Without allowing Maria to utter a word, she knelt to her feet.
"I searched everywhere for you. I wanted to apologize for what I did to you but you always almost disappeared by the time I found out where you lived. Please I am sorry. Please forgive me. I betrayed your trust and I regret it each passing day. I realized that no one can take what belongs to you." She held Maria's feet but let go when Maria quickly shifted backward. Sensing that Maria wasn't moved to forgive her. She breaks into tears.

Maria's words kept echoing in Romeo's mind. This is the only thing he has ever wanted from her. Her love, and trust. Now that he has it, it seems like a dream. Relief washed over him like rain.

So it's true. He was alive and it's his voice he heard on the phone. He should be over the moon with joy but the fact that Maria was in FBI custody because of him made him angry. He wasted no time with pleasantries."Can you tell me what happened?" He growled when James was a few meters away."I had nothing to do with it," James says, innocently, raising his hand in surrender. "I was merely a victim too," he confirmed."Tell me about everything the happened and don't leave out even the slightest detail," Romeo warned."I will tell you, but you should sit," He said. Romeo sat directly opposite to James, whiles his dad sat adjacent to James. He knew his son was still angry with him so he didn't want to anger him any further by sitting close to him.

But not before I let you know, that I don't envy you anymore. I thought you had it all. Everyman at your beck and call." She snapped her fingers in unison. "But look at how my single little plan will send you to jail for a long time, if not for the rest of your pathetic life? Turn around, look yourself in the mirror. You look pathetic." Olivia laughed."Excuse me," Maria said walking out but was pulled back by Olivia. "I am not done with you." She said sternly. "You
