BREA POV
I parked my car in front of the penthouse, I wondered how may house he built, Geez!, I’m here to take my husband away, He needs to sign the documents , I need to act fast.
The gateman opened the door immediately and I tried entering but he stopped me.
“You’re not allowed to enter ma’am, We don’t accomodate visitors here “He said politely and I scoffed.
” I’m not a stranger “I yelled and he nodded.
” I know, But you have to call Maynard first before you enter, Have a nice day “He replied humbly and I seethed in anger.
I watched Mrs. Cora through the window and she was watching the drama all along.
That old wit*ch!
I will make sure I wiped everyone away before I leave.
10PM, California.
MAYNARD POV
I stopped the car right in front of her house and she pressed her lips together.
” Thanks for the ride “She mumbled and tried getting down from the car, I held her back and she winced.
” You good? ”
” Yes, I’m just a little bit tired ”
” Why did you stopped me? “She asked after some minutes of silence and I kissed her passionately, She reciprocated immediately and I smiled.
” About what happened last night, I didn’t take advantage of you because I was ho*rny, Or maybe I don’t want you to talk to other men, I did it because I want to do it, I’ve never been in love before, I don’t know how this feels but I hope it won’t be ephemeral, I love the way I’m feeling now, I want you to be rest assured that you’re mine ”
” Maynard “She called softly and kissed me again.
I pulled away after a while and she laughed.
” I will be leaving now ”
” Goodnight, Don’t forget to use the drugs again, I don’t want everyone to know I damaged your legs ”
” Thank God you know you did that “She snapped jokingly and I chuckled.

” I’m good mom, thanks “I replied softly and dropped the bag beside my bed.
I bring out the new iphone Maynard got for me and smiled.
” Seems like you just got a new phone? ”
” No, Not really, I….. ”
” Your boss got it for you? “She interpolated and I nodded because there’s no use of me lying to her.
” Why?, If I may ask ”
” Mom, can we talk about this tomorrow?, I’m so tired and sore right….. ”
Wait…., I just said sore?
Gosh!, She will find out.
” Sore?, Did something happened between you and your boss? “She asked immediately walking up to me.
Mom helped me to the bed and I nodded, A tear slipped down my eyes and she hugged me gently.
” Hey, it’s okay, I’m sure you don’t want to complicate things, But why are you sore?, I’m sure this is not your first time “She said staring at me and I scoffed.
” I’ve never had se*x with any man, I don’t have a boyfriend, Maynard is the first person “I replied emphatically and she nodded immediately.
” It’s fine, I didn’t argue with you, I was surprised because you’re an adult, And it’s rare to find a virgin out there, But why did you give it to him? ”
” I got him angry mom, He couldn’t control himself but we did it in love, It was fun for me as well, Mom, I didn’t regret this, Please, don’t make me feel guilty “I begged holding her hand.
She cleaned my tears and sniffed.
” I will never blame you for any decisions you will make, This is your own life, Live it to the fullest, Don’t regret anything you’ve done, I promise you that I’m going to support you in everything you do “She assured and I chuckled before hugging her.

” He told me not to use contraceptives, He didn’t use protection as well, I begged him but he refused, I hope nothing will happen mom? ”
” Calm down, I’m sure he doesn’t want to hurt you, Contraceptives can be deceiving at times as well, And if you take in, It’s my happiness, I don’t care if he accepts it or not ”
” Mom…. ”
” You need to sleep, Magnolia”
