AVA POV
I watched her leave the living room and scoffed.
” You’re not going to stop me this time around, Mom, I’m not destined to live in a place like this “I said after her and she stopped immediately.
” If you’re going to call your brother, Then, Call him to come take you guys alone because I’m going no where, Respect my decision, Ava, Then you will see how this will work for you “She warned gently and I fell on the couch slowly.
” But…, why??, Why did Brea had to do this to us?, We didn’t do anything to her, We didn’t… ”
” Don’t blame Brea, Blame your dad for not trusting me, Don’t blame anyone for what happened, I know we will scale through one day ”
” Whatever “I huffed before carring Gabriel in my arms to the room.
BREA POV
The Next Day..
Getting to the penthouse early in the morning, The man I met on the gate the other day opened the door but refused to let me enter.
” You should call Maynard, Then, he will give you the permission to enter “He said politely and I rolled my eyes.
This is the same thing he said three days ago, Why won’t he allow me see my husband?
Just then, Maynard came out of the house with Mr. Mateo, I yelled his and he turned to me.
” How may I help you? ”
” Is there a problem, Brea?, What are you looking for here! “He asked staring at me from head to toe and I faked some tears.
” I missed my husband, And that’s the reasons why I’m here to take him “I said softly and he scoffed.
” You’re here with your barbie character right?, Try harder next time, I’m going to my place of work as you can see ”
” Make sure you kick her out of this place if she try proving hard “He instructed the gateman and turned to leave but I stopped him, Fiercely.
” Then, I will do the unexpected, I will leak the vidoes and everything out to the press “I threatened and he stopped on his tracks immediately.
He turned to me and scoff.
” Did you think that will get to me?, You see, Brea, You’ve caused so many damages to this family more than I can ever imagine and it will be advisable for you to stay low for now because by the time I’m done fishing you and your accomplices out, I will never take it easy on you “He threatened and I moved back away from him immediately.
He look so fierce and determined.
Gosh!, I hope I will be done with all these very soon.
I’m tired already.
