MAE

"Where have you been? Your roommate's been feeding me stories for the past one week now." Liam said, as he bent to pick the bag containing my tampons up. "I'm just coming back from your apartment not too long ago."

I gently took the bag from him. "It's not stories, Liam. I'm currently at my grandparents." I lied. I have no idea who they are, never met them before.

"Ohh, I hope there's no problem." We walked to the counter.

"It's nothing, Liam. Atleast nothing you should be worried about." I dropped the bag on the counter for the young lady there to calculate.

"The total is twenty dollars, ma'am." The lady read from her computer screen.

"Allow me pay for them." Liam offered.

"Oh no, Liam. Thank you though. It's oy twenty dollars." I gave my card to the lady. "It won't break my bank." I said in weak laugh.

"So, any reason why you're here?" Liam asked.

"Here ma'am." The lady handed my card back to me. "Have a nice day."

Liam and I went outside. We stood close to his car.

    OWENThe fight I had with Mae on my way here dealt with my mood terribly. I wasn't my usual self presently. I hated the feeling I had now."Hello, Mr Powers. We are here already." My chauffeur announced, as he opened the door of my limousine.I said nothing in response. I simply picked up my bag, made a long walk to the door and came down from the vehicle."Hey Mr Powers. It's nice seeing you again." One of the junior butlers greeted me with a smile on his face.I didn't look at whoever spoke to me, I stretched my hand to give him my suitcase. "Handle with care." I said.I marched forward with a frown on my face as I walked to the entrance. The first face I saw as the main entrance was opened was my elder brother, Vincent."Owen.""Vincent." I started strolling forward."Is that how you greet your elder brother you haven't seen in ages?" Vincent's question stopped me."I'm not in a good mood.""Have I ever seen you in a good mood?" Vincent asked. "Problems with your cartel?""Yeah." I

    OWENI wasn't expecting myself to sleep so peacefully last night. My younger brother, Simon has done his soothing magic again. I've always told him to enrol in a psychological school, that he's just wasting his talent away. Our heartfelt conversation about my relationship issues with Mae was stuck on my mind as I woke up.I was contemplating on whether I should call Mae and apologize for being an ass or I should probably leave it till I get back and meet her physically. Giving up, I made a grab for my phone. I quickly dialed her number.Her line wasn't going through. I tried for a few times and still the same response.'What were your expecting though? After you called her a whore.' I should have it at the back of my mind that pacifying Mae to forgive me would be like a hard nut to crack.I decided it was best to meet her physically once I get back.I stretched my hands and legs, yawning a bit. My eyes landed on Mae's picture Simon must have deliberately kept on the table beside my be

    MAE"How did it happen?" Eli questioned. We were both on the bed. He brought the tissue to me."Liam took me out for lunch. You remember this morning what I told you about his plan to track the illegal dealings of Mafia dons and made men. Since I agreed to be part of his undercover plans, he wanted us to discuss on what we have discovered so far." I explained.Eli nodded in response.I blew my nose into a tissue wrap. "We were already discussing about Joan being missing for days now when Owen called me.""Bad timing." Eli mumbled."Exactly. I picked after he called me five times. I wasn't aware that he heard Liam's voice, then all of a sudden, Liam is my lover. I have been fucking him and I'm a whore." I was getting all teary again."Look at me, Mae." Eli brought my face to his. He dabbed tissue around the corners of my wet eyes."You're not a whore. You know it. I know it. You shouldn't be affected because Owen called you that. You told me that there's nothing going on between you tw

    OWEN"Better don't run before your wedding, because I must surely find you." Those were my mother's departing words to me.I was getting ready to go back to my house."I won't run, Mom. You're scared for nothing." I handed my suitcase to a butler who offered to help."You should be the one scared. Drive safe." She patted my back, then went back inside."Brother." Simon called. "Were you seriously going to leave without saying goodbyes?""I thought you were sleeping."It was barely six am. I could not wait to leave this place."I'm going to miss you.""Thank you." I ruffled his hair. "I will miss you too.""Remember what we discussed though." He winked."It's here." I touched my chest where my heart is supposed to be."Drive safe, brother."The only thing on my mind throughout my journey home was how to meet Mae. She hasn't responded to my text last night. What if she did not see it? I tried calling her again and it wasn't going through.I instructed my chauffeur to take me to Casa Ele

    MAE"About Joan, what is the latest on him?" The last time Owen and I spoke about Joan. He did not tell me the details of his plans."Owen wants to go for Javier and Don Paulo. And Eve too." Scar said."Eve? I haven't heard that name around here?""She is an insider. She was the one who told me about Joan's schedule on the day we were meant to capture him. Owen suspects her.... Wait, why am I even telling you this? You are no longer with Owen. You have no business knowing about his affairs.""I'm already involved in this. There's no way I would be left out.""I'm sorry, Rivera. I can't say past that." Scar stood up from her seat.I feel that she was keeping her loyalty to Owen. She was right. I'm no longer with Owen and Owen is no longer my boss. So, I'm invariably an opposition or enemy.I went back to my apartment. Atleast, she told me a vital part of what I wanted to hear. I needed to eat pizza so I made an order for two boxes."Did you go to see Owen?" Eli questioned."No, why wil

    OWENI was so prepared for this moment. I had two things on my mind. It was either Mae was lying or she was back from her grandparents' and her roommate has refused to tell me when she returned.At this point, nothing else mattered. I only wanted to see Mae. That was the main problem I was facing now.I walked stealthily to her room, having a rethink of what I would say to her. I got to her door front and knocked.No response as usual.I knocked again.Eli answered.I wasn't supposed to see Eli. Mae should have been the one here. It meant one thing that he must have seen me coming here and decided to alert her."I'm here to see Mae." I stated."Mae is not around. You were here this morning." He said. "She's in the hospital with her grandfather."I gave a weak laughter. It had been a lie all along."She is. Let me in." I said simply."She isn't."I looked him dead in the eye before I shoved him and forced myself inside. In a split second, I had my elbow over his neck. He chose the hard

    OWEN"Where does she live?" I asked. It was two minutes past six am in the morning of the next day.Last night I was supposed to sleep like a baby because my woman has forgiven me, Scar turned it upside down by telling me news about Eve's death. I was happy, no doubt but a part of me was on high alert. I had some thoughts. It's possible that Joan's kidnapper could also be Eve's killer. And whoever did this wants to keep me to my toes.I decided that I would meet with Scar, Eric and Marco tomorrow morning, very early."Not that far from Joan's. Sometimes she sleeps at her house, sometimes Joan's." Scar replied. We were sitting on a round table.I had want to set this meeting only with Scar because I put her in charge of Eve, but then I did some thinking, it's best if Eric and Marco were aware of this as well. This was a clear sign that someone has their eyes on us."Did you ever speak to her?""Yeah, I did, just two times. The first time I met her at a pharmacy store, we didn't really

But he did show up at my door, went as far as bringing me out of my hiding spot by threatening to kill Eli. This man brought weakeness to my knees by saying that the words he went to me last week. I was now convinced that he was the one who wrote them. He had a way of softening me up. I even agreed to go out to dinner with him. When he left, Eli came out of the bathroom. "I'm sorry." I could not control my laughter. "It's not funny, Mae. I nearly peed on myself." "I'm so sorry." I said again, going to him to rub his back. "So, you guys are back together?" Eli asked me. "Yeah, somehow." I shrugged. "I heard liplocking sounds and you agreed to go on a date with him. That's not a somehow. You like him, don't you?" "I don't know, Eli.

    MAE"Thank you very much, you have fed me properly today." I took a large gulp of yoghurt. My stomach was really full."That's one of my responsibilities to you." He wiped the corner of my mouth with tissue."What's today?" Suddenly I remembered about my medical checkup."Today is Friday. The end of the month.""Damn! I have my antenatal checkup today.""Really? There's still time. Tell me the schedule the doctor told you." He brought out his diary, waiting for my response."Every four weeks for the next seven months, and every two weeks till the ninth month.""Fine. I will have to be reminding you from henceforth." He closed his diary after taking note of it.Owen took me to the hospital, the exact one where I was told I was pregnant.It was same doctor that told me I was pregnant. She recognized my face."Hey Rivera. Hello." She greeted Owen and I."Hello Doctor.""Please, take your seats." She gestured with her hands. "How are you both doing?""We're doing very fine.

    MAE"O... Owen, you're here?" I stuttered. Why was he here? Is today not supposed to be his wedding? He wasn't supposed to find out this way. The look on his face made me swallow hard. He was mad angry."You're not answering my question, Mae. Are you pregnant?" His face has no expression.Scar quietly excused herself, leaving me to deal with my problems alone. So much for female solidarity."Yes Owen. I am." There was no need lying now. He must have heard everything by the door. Lying would escalate to more problems that I wasn't ready for.I could see a flicker of happiness in his eyes for a moment before the annoyance took over. "How long are you gone?" His eyes went to my stomach. I had no bump yet."A month. I found out about it early last week." I said quietly, my eyes avoiding his."For that long, and I'm just knowing of it now! Mae, what other things are you hiding from me?" He folded his arms. " I have finally figured out the reason you have been avoiding me. You think I won't

    OWENAfter I agreed to let Mae go to Joan's house as an insider again, I instructed Marco to find someone that will have an eye on her, some sort of a bodyguard. Since it was only two times a week, I would only be worried for those two days only, unlike before where worry was my best friend.We made love again bringing those sweet feelings to my heart. After I had dropped her off at Casa Eleganza. I went back to my club. I wasn't done going through those footages. The pictures I have so far were mostly those working as servers in the club.Eric would have a lot of work to do.I went through the last parts of the footages, new faces were that of the security men, Marco and a woman.I zoomed the video of Marco and the woman. It was same woman I had seen him with when I had my first meeting as regards to Joan's disappearance. He was holding hands with her and saying things that are barely inaudible.It felt strange though. Marco had never shown interest in woman. I wonder what this woman

    MAECongratulations, Ms Rivera. You're three weeks pregnant."The doctor's words kept ringing in my ears on my way to my apartment. I couldn't describe what I was feeling.While in her office some time ago, I even had to tell her to check the name well."Mae Rivera." The doctor read from the piece of paper in her hands. "Is that not your name?""It... It is." I stammered."Why are you... Wait, you are not ready yet?" She read my face."Yeah, kind of." I said."That's okay, Mae." She smiled again. "Since you're not ready and we discovered it early enough, you can take it out."I'm keeping it, Doctor." I said firmly. The last thing on my mind at this time was getting pregnant, but since it has happened, I can't kill my baby. I have to beat the consequences of my actions."Your husband would be happy.""I'm not married." Do I looked married? I'm not even wearing a ring."Ohh, I'm sorry for the assumption." She apologized. "I hope its father would be happy.""He would. He was even the on

He would have been waiting for me to come back."Go back to sleep, Mae." He pulled me closer."It's nine thirty." I complained."I know." His eyes were still closed.He knew. He must have woken up before me.I succeeded in removing his hands."Mae, come back." He tried reaching out for me."Owen, wake up. We can't stay here all day." I put on my denim gown back."Staying with you makes me want to do nothing." He was fully awake now."That's sad, but I want to do something.""Ouch." He stood up from the bed.He had actually woken up, because he had his boxers on. He put on his shirt and trousers."I will be going over to Joan's today." I stated. I didn't want to waste time at all. My last meeting is with Joan was when he told me I had a bigger job to do for him."Really? Wait awhile. We just agreed yesterday.""I d
