Chapter 71

Maria’s POV

Alex’s departure was strange and sudden but I did not have the time to dwell on it because Dr. Carter suddenly said “I will like to have a word with your mother Maria dearest, can you take me to her?”

I knew this confrontation was not one that could be avoided but still I had to try my best “ Is there a chance that you might be willing to let this go? I know my mother has wronged you and you are justified to be mad at her, to hate her even but please I am begging you, going into a battle with my mother will not benefit you” I said to her, this was more for Dr. Carter’s protection than it was for my mother, my mother was ruthless and showed no mercy to her enemies.

A smile crossed Dr. Carter’s face and then she said “Don’t worry about me Dear, I seek no benefit from all this neither do I have anything to lose, it is just something I need to do”

“Dr. Carter, please listen to me, my mother is not a person to have as an enemy, she will ruin you” I said to her.

Did you find it nice or even productive?” she asked.I wondered the word to use in describing my time with Dr. Carter, pondering on it for a second, I could only come up with one “I believe it was quite eye-opening in a way” I said to her.“I am glad you enjoyed it, I had thought it might be painful or something” she said.I chuckled and said “Did you think she was going to stick wires in my brain and electrocute me?” “Something like that” she said with a small smile.I caressed her face gently and said “I will be fine dear, don’t worry about me, I think she will be very effective in treating me” It was really how I felt, for some re

When he was done, I said “Thanks Sam, seems like everything is in place” “Yeah it’s all good for now but is there really no date on when we are supposed to return home?” Sam asked me.A sigh left my lips “None that I can see for now, everything here is such a mess and I can’t leave things this messed up, I want to leave once and for all and never have a reason to return, I just want to do everything to my best capabilities” I said.“Yeah I know but it is just that sometimes I miss it all, the bustle of the city life, the city lights twinkling at night, everything is much quieter in this place” Sam said with a small smile.I smiled, I understood what he meant, the city was a lot different from here, I loved it all, the sounds and vibes of the city, the vie

    Chapter 75Alexander’s POVThe drive with Ethan was the weirdest I had ever had in my entire life, I was so glad when we finally pulled up in front of Dr. Carter’s house, he seemed relived as well because he quickly opened the door and stepped out.We were used to hating one another so much that it was hard to try to be civil with another now, it seemed weird to even smile at him, I much preferred it when we were going for each others throats but if I was being honest with myself, this was not so bad after all.“You think she is home?” Ethan asked me.I shrugged my shoulders and said “Well we have only one way to find out” and then I gestured to the steps.He rolled his eyes and started toward the door, I followed behind him.He rang the door bell and we both stood by the door waiting for it to be opened.A few seconds later, we heard footsteps coming from inside the house and then the door swung open, Dr. Carter stood there, she seemed a little surprised to see us standing on her fro

There are a total of 50 guards and 30 maids in this house and you are all telling me no one saw my husband leave this house, does that make sense to anyone of you?” I asked my staffs as they stood lined up before me.“I am really sorry ma’am but we had no idea when he left the house” My head of security said to me.“Can you hear yourself right now? You are supposed to look after him at all times and right now, you have no idea where he is” I snapped at him.He bent his head and said “I am sorry ma’am, I have men looki

She is your wife, you are expected to know everything about her” she said with a smile.“I know that, it is just that I am a bit scared to hurt her since all this started, the last time, I had barely held on to my senses to stop myself from hurting he

I wondered if perhaps I was a curse or something like that.I had no right to care for both of them as I did now, I just brought pain and darkness into their lives.I heard footsteps approaching my room and I recognized them as that of my mother.She walked in and gave me a look that told me she was not pleased with my current state.“Why on earth are you sitting on the floor like that? Get up right now and put on some clothes for heaven’s sake” she snapped at me.“Leave me alone mother” I said weakly.“Stop bei
