“I’m really sorry.”
“Don’t believe others over me in the future,” he said.
“Mm, I promise.”
The two stayed like that for a while before Jeslyn the hug when she remembered something.
“That dead person…” She looked in his direction but the dead person was no longer there.
“His body has been taken care of.”
“When was that? I didn’t know about it.”
Maverick didn’t respond. The body was carried away when he tried to kiss her. He only did that to
distract her and she did turn her face away.
“Aren’t you going to get in trouble?”
“I will,” Maverick knew that killing Judge will get him in trouble with the Dark Age organization, still
he did it.
“Then why did you do it?”
“He disrespected your body and he ought to die.”
“Plum?” She looked at him sadly. If not because she allowed it, would that have happened?
“It’s ok. I can handle it.” He kissed the middle of her head.
“Alright… Vera and her baby, what will happen to them?”
“The decision is yours to make.” He replied.
“Ok. Let her give birth and then you can support the kids… No, I’ll take over the care of the kids. You
just stop seeing her.” She red at him.
He nodded with a smile.
“She said you wanted to get rid of her child, why?”
“I didn’t want it.”
“The child is innocent. He/she is also Valen’s sibling, so you must not touch it.”
“I understand.”
“Call her back to the house but you’ll have to stay in Country Y with me. You aren’t going back to the
house unless we are going together.”
Maverick smiled. What is better than that? “I agree.”
Jeslyn sighed. “I’m feeling dizzy, take me home.”
Maverick–swept her off her feet and carried her away. After they left, one of the female restroom doors
was opened and Ruben stepped out. He narrowed his eyes at the tall man striding away with Jeslyn in
his arms and balled his hands into tight fists.
12.40
At the underground car park…..
Jeslyn had just called Celestine and was about to keep her phone away when she spotted Maverick’s
bleeding hand on the steering. Her eyes widened in horror and she immediately grabbed his hand.
“What happened?”
Maverick nced down at his hand before looking at her. Seeing the worry on her face, his heart wast
excited.
“You caused it.”
“How?” Jeslyn wanted to remove the pieces of broken bottles that were stuck in his palm but was
scared he’d feel pain.
“You were dancing with other men.”
“Huh?” Jeslyn gazed at his face. “Did you break a bottle with your hand because I was dancing with
other men?”
“I did grab it tightly but I’m not sure my strength was enough to break it.”
“In other words?” Jeslyn raised a brow to hear more lies. Why does he not want to ept that he was
that strong enough to break a bottle?
“It must have been the ice,” Maverick said with his eyes smiling.
Jeslyn nodded. “You are good with lies anyway. Get down, let me drive.” She opened the car door and
walked to the other side.
Maverick had no choice but to get down and allow her to take the wheel. Even though she wasn’t
familiar with the roads, he had a fun time watching her drive around the city in search of a hospital.
A few dayster, Maverick got a call from Matt, asking him toe for a bone marrow test. Maverick
looked at Jeslyn who was dressing up for ss and said; (1)

“I’ll be leaving for Country M in a while.”
Jeslyn turned to look at him and essed him from head to toe. “That’s fine, but stay away from Vera.”
“Mn.”
“My one–month break will start next week. I’ll being to join you. Plum, don’t break my trust.”
“Mn,”
“Why don’t you open your mouth and talk? ‘Mn‘ is making me feel like you have bad intentions.”
“??”
“Maverick, ah!” She yelled in frustration.
“You are worrying yourself too much. You might grow some wrinkles.” He said while walking towards
her.
“I can’t help it. Vera is giving me a… Forgot it, she’s Valen’s mother.” She pouted.
Maverick stayed silent when he heard that. He took the brush from her and started to brush her hair
while thinking of the result of the investigation that Rex sent himst night.
The investigation they carried out on Vera from years back was wed. Vera is not who she said she
was. Her real name was indeed Vera but she isn’t an indigene of Country G, Country A, or Country Y
like she imed but was rather from a declined family in Country M.
Her family, the Wang family, was once among the Top families in Country M but one day, the family
suddenly experienced misfortune and the whole family was annihted by some unknown force. It was
said that everyone died but who would have known that their daughter survived? 2
That wasn’t Maverick’s problem though but what he didn’t understand was; why would Vera im to be
the woman he slept with that night and why would she im to be pregnant? Why would she appear at
Country G’s hospital and im that she gave birth to Valen? If that isn’t confusing enough, then why
would Vera suddenly disappear from the hospital and suddenly appear to be Rossa’s friend? Why
would she appear at that ce close to Rossa’s house in Country A, knowing that the area was
dangerous? Why would she call Rossa for help instead of calling the cops? Unless it was all staged! 7
Maverick’s eyes narrowed at his conclusion. If everything was staged, then it means Rossa or he was
the target. If the n was to ruin him, then why switch ces with Rossa and why snatch Valen from
Rossa? 1
And if it was to ruin Rossa, then it makes sense. But who would do that to an eighteen year old girl and
why?
Maverick’s hands paused when a name suddenly appeared in his mind.
‘Ms. Alice.
“Plum? What are you thinking?”
Jeslyn’s voice woke Maverick from his reverie and he smiled at her. “Nothing… What did your mom say
when you got pregnant… in your dream?” (1
