Naevia went through all her beautiful gifts before retiring to bed again. The drug in her system still had its effect going.Zane left her and went to see if the maids were done preparing the soup he asked them to. He wanted Naevia to take it before going to sleep again.On getting there, he met the maids in the kitchen, washing the dishes and juicing the pineapple for Naevia.His eyes landed on the stove and he saw a pot on it. Pleased, he walked in to check out the soup.The maids heard his footsteps and turned over to look. Their hearts skipped when they saw Zane. They didn't know he was already in the kitchen."For a second, I thought you two had abandoned what I sent you to do," Zane said, letting them know what's in his mind."We'll never do such sir. The soup is almost ready. We'll bring it to Mrs Ash, along with her juice," the maids said to him.Zane listened. He stepped away from the stove and headed out of the kitchen and back to the room to stay with Naevia.Once the soup
On hearing Naevia's demand for the record book, the fat store owner suddenly laughed out at Naevia."You're funny sweet cheeks. Quit it," he said, thinking Naevia was here to joke around.When Naevia saw this, she glared at this fatso and banged her right hand hard on the counter. Causing the fat man to stop laughing and gaze at her."Don't think I'm joking here. I want to see your record book," she demanded once again.The fat manager was getting fed up with Naevia's attitude. He narrowed his eyes on her and said, "Listen here young lady. I don't give my record book to anyone just like that. It's an important book, and I don't care how beautiful or who you are."Naevia's eyes shimmered at the far man's words. He scoffed at Naevia and told her to leave his store if she's just here for his record book.Naevia said nothing to him. She took two steps back and turned around. Heading for the entrance of the shop.The fat manager stared at her, licking his lips and calling her a feisty lady
Naevia demands answers from her husband, but he doesn't answer his wife at all. All Zane could do was stand and gaze at Naevia worriedly.He didn't have the strength to tell her the truth behind their marriage. He stayed quiet and said nothing to her.Naevia sees this and gets angry even more. "Why are you quiet? Tell me the reason behind your marriage to me Zane!" She raised her voice.The Mafia boss still stayed quiet. He knows what would happen if she gets to know the truth. He was afraid to lose her.Seeing how silent Zane was, Naevia gets upset with him. His action and behavior had hurt her even more."So you won't say anything? Alright then," she said, taking two steps back from Zane. Her heart was aching while looking right at him.Zane sees how she distanced herself from him. He felt hurt, knowing that he had made her upset."Naevia, please..." He tried to speak to her, but not to say the truth. Naevia could already see that her husband wasn't going to tell her the truth.She
"Father!" Naevia roared at Arnold, as he walked out of her sight. She's furious to see how cruel her father could be.Her eyes are still at the top of the stairs, reminiscing on the horrific truth about her father.She's lost in her rage that she forgot about the guards her father, Arnold, had ordered to take her captive.She only noticed their presence when she felt her arms being held. Naevia came to her senses, pulling her arms out from their grip."Stay the fuck away from me!" He yelled at them, facing them angrily. But the guards didn't stop trying.The guards tried to take Naevia, but she threatened to harm them if they got closer to her.She was speaking and shouting at the ones right in front of her, not knowing the guard coming from behind her.Naevia immediately spotted the other guard through a glass frame of a painting, which was the wall.She turned over and landed a punch on the guard. This gave the others the chance to grab her immediately."Let me go! Let...me...go!" H
The maids spent thirty minutes cleaning up Naevia's injury. Once they were done, they told Naevia they were going to get her dinner.Naevia hummed without responding with a word. The maids took everything they had brought and exited the room.Naevia stayed quiet on the bed, lost in her thoughts. Her mind wandering around on her shocking present and unforgettable past.She thought mostly of the past with her mother. All the beautiful memories she shared with her before she died. Naevia felt so lonely. It almost seemed like she was the only one left in this world."All my life has been a lie. I thought I had a lovely father and a wonderful husband. But all that was a lie," she said to herself, feeling hurt.Just as she was thinking of the betrayal, Naevia thought of her mother. When she was little, her mother had given her something to keep her close to her heart.It was an old locket. A silver old locket. Naevia's mother had given it to Naevia when she was still a little girl.One day
After her conversation with Kelvin, the loyal guard decides to let Naevia eat her dinner and rest. He leaves Naevia alone in the room and goes.Naevia takes her food in her hand and starts eating. She takes three spoons out of it, but stops halfway.She started losing her appetite, thinking about Zane. These past days, after their union as a married couple, Naevia has gotten used to eating with Zane.She felt full and pushed her food aside. She no longer wanted to eat. She drank a glass of water and faced the box belonging to her mother.Naevia gathered everything together in the box, including the locket and the two papers that fell from it. She placed them in the box and straight under the bed.Just as she was sitting back to get into bed, she noticed a strange movement at the door. She didn't know that Kelvin hadn't shut the door properly. "Who's there?" She inquired.But there was no response. Once again, she questioned who was there. Then one of the maids Zane hired to take care
Naevia gets into her car, placing both papers down where she can see it. She mostly played the paper with the address on the other, so she can find her way to her destination.About starting the car, Naevia looked up and saw her worried husband, standing at the entrance of the mansion, looking at her.She stared back at him, but soon took her eyes away from him. Starting the car and driving out of the premises.Zane watched her. He would have followed her, but what's the point of it? It's not like if he goes after Naevia she would forgive him.He has been watching her, secretly attending to things without him being around her. Whatever she has been doing, she has been doing it away from him.The young Mafia boss feels dejected. He goes back into the mansion, feeling frustrated with the situation of his marriage with Naevia..On the way, Naevia asks for directions from passers by she comes across. Some weren't familiar with the address she made mention of, while some, who had a hint,
"A safe? I never knew about it. The only safe I recur, is the one belonging to my father in his room. The time I saw the safe, my father had driven me out of his room and warned him never to be near there," Naevia said, recounting the past.Hearing this, Naevia's Aunt scoffed and asked, "Does that hypocrite possess such?" Naevia stared at her Aunt. The old woman smirked at Naevia and said, "Your father has nothing, not even a safe of his."From the way she spoke, Naevia suspected that her mother's junior sister knew a lot more about her father than she did. Curious, she asked, "Do tell me everything that happened. From the time my father and mother met, till the time she died. I want to know everything."Naevia's Aunt stared at her niece. She gave a curve to the lips and hummed. "With pleasure my dear. It's a really long story, but I'll still share it with you," she decided.Naevia felt her ears spring up. She couldn't wait to know how her parents met, and if really love brought them
