Chapter 73

I leave the station with a more heavy chest and burden than I went in with. I have no Idea what detective

Ben meant when he spoke about my mother. I would ask him next time at a more private setting to be sure

but I couldn't afford to trust anyone else and for I all I know this could be one of Bianca's sick game to

taunt me.

I sit in the car waiting for Ryan to come get me out of here glumly looking like that was a crowd above

me waiting to rain when my mind flashes back to Maxwell's eyes.

I knew I was almost the splitting image of the devil in his eyes and I probably might not deserve it but I

couldn't help but feel terribly hurt and in pain that he did not bother about me this entire past weeks. I was

assaulted in his home, at his engagement dinner by his future wife, yet he would turn such a blind eye to

my plight.

My subconsciousness argues with me in my own thoughts. He thinks I abandoned him at the hospital for

months, of course he would do the same now the tables are turned.

    “And then you thought to bring me food?” Ryan asks still in confusion and mild suspicion flashes through his eyes.“I also wanted to apologize for this afternoon.” I tell him very softly.Ryan's eyes flow through my attire and I see the look in his eyes change as he watches me like his prey.I pass him to set the tray of food on the bed. “Here's your dinner.” I tell him nervously scrubbing my sweaty palm on my nighties.“Why are you suddenly being so nice to me?” Ryan asks in doubt and I realize that I would need to take an alternative before this blows off in my face.I pull Ryan down to the bed in other to distract him, I sit very closely beside him.“I told you already, I just wanted to apologize for earlier.” I tell him, holding back my cringe at the shrill in my own voice.Ryan's seems a little pleased at my sudden submissiveness but his eyes still looks like his try to gauge the reason for my sudden need to approach him first for the first time.“Go on.” I gesture with my eyes g

    I search through Ryan's room to find the contract documents. My eyes suddenly zoom in on a separatebox in the room. I hurry through the room to reach the box.I try the different bundle in my keys but none was able to open the small box in my arms.I huff frustrated at my situation, I leave the box to check Ryan's other drawers to find a single key in itand a smile applies on my face.I happily take the key out. “This must be it.” I whisper out.I fix the key into the box and watch breathlessly as I finally hear the soft click I having been hoping tohear.I quickly pull the lid of the box open to find only a few papers in it, unlike the other drawers, this wasmore organized and kept neatly. By just staring at it, you would know this has to be something veryimportant.I take the papers out and I try to go through it's content but nothing was making that much sense to meanymore.I try to understand what exactly I'm looking at in confusion.It clearly states here that Bianca and Ja

    I turn to look at Ryan properly. It wasn't what he said, it was the way he said it. I really look at him, Ryanhad a dull look in his eyes. If I didn't think we were in the same house and I would have surely not if hesmoked, even occasionally, I would doubt his present level sanity was surely not from the result of anexternal substance.I have always known that Ryan was a lot of things, an arrogant, proud and entitled piece of shit, he was anabuser, physically, mentally and emotionally but he was also a victim at some point in his life before hebecame the exact monster that probably scared him at night. He probably doesn't even recognize what hehas become, he must have embraced it to be a part of himself.Ryan was also possessive and jealous but lately there has been a difference to him. He would mostlyignore my presence but whenever his focus was on me, whenever his spoke to me, his voice was highpitched, his fingers wringled beside him and they was a slight slur to his speech

    I search through the numerous worth of a months replies for the one that belongs to Dominic Garcia’s personal assistant. I find it and gasp loudly, I was looking forward to a reply but I was not so sure it was going, especially with how out of reach the man and his assistant tended to be when I made a research of him. When I look into it properly, I see that a reminder email had also been sent and the surprise on my face expands. I could barely concentrate on Jersey's day dreaming. “And I left the juicy part for the last.” Jersey screeches as my eyes scan through the content of the email. “Guess what?” Jersey teasing sounding more excited by the increasing second. “I got a tip that Dominic Garcia is the country.” Jersey says and my head snaps up to stare at Jersey. “What?” I ask her. “It is unheard of and very unusual but he's barely ever in the country, he always prefers to remain in Italy or so I heard-” “Jersey,” I yell and it startles a carried away Jersey. “Before th

    I watch in surprise as Milly walks into my office nervously, she observes my entire office, taking her time before her eyes land on me. “Milly.” I call standing from my chair. “What brings you here?” I ask her carefully knowing she was a very troubled and difficult teenager. “Are you here to get some jewelry?” I ask her and she quietly watches, from what little I know about her, Milly was no shy teenager but she tended to close off and go quiet whenever she was triggered. “No.” Milly tells me shaking her head slightly. I make eye contact with Jersey who was still standing at the door, watching our interaction. Jersey shrugs in a that's your problem, handle it yourself way and she goes out the door before I can suggest she intervenes. “Are you okay?” I ask the young girl in front of me. She looked like she has been forced to grow up so much faster than her eyes. Milly nods, she has been avoiding making eye contact with me more than necessary. “I uhh, wanted to ask if you w

    It was becoming to get late by the head of shopping, when the dress part was settled and done, we opted to get other things just to extend the fun time we were having. I offer for Milly to come with me back to my store because I had just the perfect accessory that will go just right with her dress. I think of it as her going to prom instead of the marriage of the man that I am in love with. Milly blurted out by mistake that the theme of the wedding Scarlett choose was to be like an elegant ball like in the 70s and that is just another word for extravagant. We head to my store and I do not take too long to find the box containing the matching pair of accessory I was looking for. I hand it over to Milly and watch her pull it open. Milly gasps at the shine of the diamond hidden in the box and the she looks to me unsure. “Oh my gosh, are you sure?” Milly asks me still surprised. “This must cost a lot, I cannot possibly take it.” The tells me and I huff at her words. “Consider

    The confusion on Ryan's face doesn't disappear even after Milly's explanation. The look on his face tells me that Milly is rarely ever really excited like this and that she has no friends often. Isabella watches on with annoyance written all over her face. Her child was happy, should that not be the conclusion of the matter, what she care if her child smiled at the very woman she probably hated the most, what should matter should be that her child was happily and freely smiling without anything holding her back. Isabella walks up to Milly, dragging her away from me like I was virus she needed to get her child away from. I refrain from openly rolling my eyes at her ridiculousness. “Goodnight Milly.” I smile at her turning to glance at Ryan, giving him enough hint to let go of my waist. I was busy having an entire eye contact conversation with Ryan, an aggressive one at that when the last voice I wanted to hear for today screeches at me. “Ana?” Bianca screeches, I heard her b

    “I'm leaving.” I announce standing up to go, Scarlett races towards me in seconds and I watch her in scrutiny trying to figure out. I had expected her to drop the act by now but she was still desperately holding on to it. She has shown and said everything she needed me to know in this last hour I have listening to her speak on mute. If I didn't fully listen, atleast I heard the summary of it all. “The best part is yet to come Ana, it's your brothers wedding tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry.” Scarlett says sweetly, way too sweetly, that was the indication to know that she was definitely up to no good together with this much act she has put into getting under my skin. Unfortunately for her, I was too used to all of this to be affected by their games anymore. I was trying to save her marriage here. Even if Maxwell was no longer in love with me. Finding me pregnant with the same child I had told him I aborted would either out her wedding or hold or cause chaos through the

Panic suddenly filled my every pore. I felt more fear than I did the overwhelmingpain in my very gut.I needed help and fast, the baby was coming. I groan out loud and try to push myself up when another bultof pain decided to rack through my body.“Ana? Ana!!” I hear screams of my name coming from outside of the house, my already pulsing heartnearly stopped the moment I recognized who the voice belonged to.“Maxwell.” I whisper to myself, too weak to speak any louder.“Ana.” Loud footsteps march past the open wide doors and a disheveled looking Maxwell stands directlyin front of me.Confusion takes over his features first and then shock as his eyes access the situation and mess in theroom and then fear as he watches me bleeding out on the floor.“Ana?” He calls running towards me. “What happen

    “You fucking bitch, you really are out of your mind.” Ryan shouts at the top of his voice.“Do you have any idea what you have done, my entire life and family is in jeopardy, you will fix thischaos as soon as possible.” Ryan yells. “Your parents have been arrested, what kind of daughter are you?”Ryan asks staring at me in disbelieve and I scoff out loud.“You must have some sort of fucked up audacity to that to me Ryan.” I hiss at him. “You all used me tothe very last drop and then you framed me up to leave me to rot away and you thought I was going to sitby and watch it all happen, you fucking bastard.” I calmly tell Ryan.“Did you fuck him?

    "That's good," I mutter tiredly. Seeing everything fall apart was all I wanted for so long, but now that it's actually happening, I find myself less interested than I expected.Jersey, standing across from me, studies my face carefully. "I think a warrant should be going out for both your mother and stepfather any moment now," she says quietly, her voice carrying a seriousness that matches the situation. "This is big, Ana. Are you okay?"I shrug, unsure how to answer. The truth is, I don't know what I’m feeling anymore. "Yeah, I guess," I say after a moment, trying to convince myself as much as her.Jersey doesn't seem to buy it. She watches me with concern, her brow furrowed. “You sure? It’s okay if you’re not, you know. This is... it’s a lot.”"Yeah," I repeat, softer this time. “I’m fine.”There’s a pause, thick and uncomfortable. Jersey looks like she wants to say something more, but instead, she rubs the back of her neck awkwardly. "I'm going to bed," she announces, and I know sh

    “I would love to come along with you Ana, I don't think I've told you this before but I love to explore, I'vealways wanted to leave the country, relocate somewhere else, besides it's not like I have anything backhere or a family I'll miss. My job is the only thing I have and my job lies with you.” Jersey says chucklingand I let out a sad chuckles of my own.“But what about the business?” Jersey asks and I shrug in answer.“I have no idea but each step at a time, if I do decide to leave, we'll figure it out, together.” I say holdingJersey's hand closely to mine. I cannot possibly explain the relieve and joy that came at her answer, I feltwarm all over. I just needed Beatrice to also agree to come with me, I was not sure I was comfortable withleaving her behind with Ryan. She had motherly affection for Ryan so I would respect whatever decisionshe would make.Another thought immediately crosses my mind and I turn to Jersey with a mischievous smile on my face.“You know, I was also

    Another thought immediately crosses my mind, and I can’t help the mischievous smile that spreads across my face. Jersey notices, raising an eyebrow slightly as I turn toward her. "You know," I begin, "I've been thinking." My voice has a playful lilt to it, though what I’m about to say is anything but a joke. "You’re really good at what you do in the jewelry business. Like, really good. You’ve been doing this longer than I have, and you know more about the inner workings than I ever could."Jersey's expression remains calm, though I can tell she’s wondering where this conversation is heading. She nods, a quiet acknowledgment of the compliment, but it’s clear she’s holding back a response, waiting for me to get to the point."You've taken care of the store long before I ever set foot in it," I continue, "and on top of that, you’ve always been the one looking out for everyone. You care so much about this place and the people in it." I pause, letting the words settle for a moment. “With
