Maxwell couldn’t believe everything that was happening, he never expected Charles to have so much power to jailbreak secretary because he can’t even remember how he got there. The last thing he remembeswas sitting alone, and waking up there.
“I must’ve blanked out somehow,” he thought.
“Are you done reflecting on yourself?” Charles teased, and Maxwell looked at him.
“How… ho—“
“No, no. Wrong question. The question should be what do you want from me?”
“What do you want from me?” he trembled.
“Good boy,” Charles applauded. “I would’ve think of harvesting all your organs, but I’ve enough money and more money so why would I do that?” he said, and Maxwell started trembling in fear.
“What do you think I want?”
“I don’t know. Please let me go,” he cried.
“Where will you go? To your partner who abandoned you after getting all she wants from you, or back to prison? I can gladly help you execute your choice,”
“What..”
“Don’t shudder words, say it bluntly. Your partner, Ella, put you behind bars and you will suffer for her crimes. You’re also aware of that, so just chose your choice,”
“How do you know all these?”
“How did I know that she pinned her crimes on you, or how did I know that she is the real criminal? Which one do you want me to answer? We’ve all day,” Charles winked.
“What’s your deal? What do you want from me?”
“We want the same thing. You’re angry at Ella because she betrayed you, she collected your shares and made her puppy dog the CEO. They both plot together to make you the scapegoat and leaving you to carry all the blames won’t be good for the both of us because I want both of you behind bars accountably, not just one. Why get one when you can get them both?”
“Why’re interested in this?”
“Well, with that being said I assume that we’re on same page trying to get to know each other’s motive, which simply mean that you agree with me that Ella framed everything on you,”
“Why’re you interested in this?! Answer me!”
“Because Violet is very important to me,”
“How do know her? I know all of her friends but I don’t know you,”
“She also thought you knew everything about you, but turns out she doesn’t. That’s the scope of life. We all never know everything even when we think we do,”
“Why’re you doing this? Violet is already dead,”
“To you, not to me. Not until I get you and Ella behind bars, not until you both pay for your crimes,”
“Was Violet having an affair with you?!” Maxwell lashed, and Charles face twist in furry.
He wanted to hit Maxwell but Jayden held his hand.
“No, Charles. You don’t need that,” Jayden said, and Charles made a fist trying to control himself.
“How dare you think so lowly of her? You think that Violet will sloop so low like you?”
“Then you like her,” Maxwell said.
“What if I do?”
“Did? She is gone. I’m sure she never look at her, and you’re the delusional person who can’t move on from unrequited feelings,” Maxwell said, and Charles started ranging in anger.
“Don’t let him get you, Charles. You shouldn’t fight him, this is the only chance to get Ella and help Vee with her revenge,” Jayden said.
Charles clenched his fist unable to control himself and hit Maxwell hard, making him fall to his knees.
“Charles!” Jayden called.
“That’s for talking down on me. I believe we are in same boat here since we both want the same thing so I’ll give you time to think about it. You’ve just tonight. You pissed me off, so I won’t send any food to you,” with that, Charles left.

Maxwell touched his bruised lips after Charles left and exhaled heavily, he didn’t know what get over him to make him say those words that he said earlier.
Just as Charles said, he is equally angry at Ella because she fo0led him. She lied to him about the driver’s motive for pinning the crime of him. Turn out the driver is no body and he already transferred his shares to Ella before he saw the driver. Ella never paid him a visit again after then, neither did Mr. Josh, after they already aligned all the evidence to point against him.
“I can’t let them get away with this, but I don’t trust that guy either. Why is he doing all these?” he thought.

Charles stood by the poolside to relax and Violet appeared next to him.
“Where were you?” he muttered.
“Somewhere around. I don’t know how to look at the good for nothing man,”
“Are you that angry at him?”
“Is that even a question?”
“He knows you so well, I wonder how he managed to cheat on you. You guys seem close,”
“We were, but I was the gullible one to think I found the perfect man,”
“Was he your first love?”
“Gosh. Do people really have a first love like movies? Do you have one?”
“I mean your first boyfriend. Not really the creepy first love gibberish,” he said, and she chuckled.
“No. I’m not a saint. I have a long list from middle school,”
“I can smell a lie when I hear one. But what reason would you’ve to lie about this?” he winked.
“You used the same words with Carolyn, do you think she lied about not seeing your future?”
“That means you just lied,”
“Gosh, was that your trick?”
“Admitting that Maxwell was your first won’t make you a fo0l. He is the c0ward for cheating on you,”
“I think I was the fo0l, I allowed myself get played by two people that I thought were close to me,”
“Jayden told me you already remembered everything,”
“What?”
“The real incident, how you signed everything to them,”
“Oh,”
“Why’d you kept it from me?”
“Because it won’t make a difference,”
“But you should have still say it regardless,”
“It’s embarrassing,” she admits, and he looked at her.
“What is?”
“Everything,” she muttered.
“It must’ve been really bad,”
“It was,” she muttered, and remembering the event again.

FLASHBACK***
*
Violet sluggishly opened her eyes, ignoring the pain she felt. She tried to move and realized that she was tied to a chair. The last thing she remembered was Ella hitting her with a bottle, so which only means that they tied her down there.
“Let me go! Help me! Somebody help me!” she wailed.
“Cinderella is finally awake,” she heard Ella mockery voice.
Her eyes were too blurry to see vividly, but she can never mistake someone else as Ella.
“What do you think you’re doing, Ella?”
“What’s best for me, but not for you,”
“You’re going to pay for this!”
“Who will make me pay? You?”
“Ella, what do you really want from me?”
“Yes. Now we’re communicating,”
Maxwell joined them later, and Violet clenched her fist looking at him.
“How could you Max? I should’ve known, I should’ve listened to my parents who knew you better,”
“Too bad you didn’t. You were a disobedient child, not just once, but twice. Now, see where it led you. Good thing I always listen to my parents,”
Ella teased.
“Meeting the both of you was the biggest mistake of my life!”
“We know so make a better choice in your next life. Enough of the chitchat. Get it done, Maxwell,” Ella said, and Maxwell hesitated for a moment before walking closer to Violet.
“Trust me, Violet. I never wanted it to lead to this, so don’t let us use any more violence. Just sigh this,” Maxwell said, and she spat at his face.
“You’ll have to klll me to get me to sign that, but you can’t, because if you do Ivy will be the one getting everything. I rather dle than sign all my assets to you!” she lashed.
“Oh, then how many people have do dle? You, Ivy…” Ella said.
“Don’t you dare hurt my sister!”
“I pull the shot baby, and you’re making this difficult, leaving us with little choice. Ivy is also a cute lil sis to me, I watched her grow up, we literally grew up together so I don’t want to hurt her either but you aren’t helping,”
“You can never hurt my sister,”
“You think I can’t?” Ella said and dialed a number putting the phone on speaker.
^
📞*hello, Ivy.*
📲*hey, sis,*
📞*did you get the package I sent?*
📲*what package?*
📞*you complained about your stomach the last time so I personally prepared porridge for you to help ease your pain,*
“No, Ivy, do—“ Violet shout but Maxwell covered her mouth before she could complete her sentence.
📲*Sis, is that Violet?*
📞*No, I’m not with Violet. She is on a trip with her hubby,*
📲*Yeah, you said so,*
📞*Enjoy your porridge when it arrives, love you,*
📲*love you too,* with that, Ella dropped the call and smirk.
*
“Poor Ivy doesn’t know what’s in the porridge for her,” Ella sneered.
“Don’t you dare hurt my sister!” Violet cried.
“That depends on you. I can call the dispatch company to return the goods or send it. It all depends on you, Violet. And you’ve just 2 minutes to decide that,”
“Violet, Ivy don’t have to get hurt too,”
“Max… how could you do this to me? I loved you, Ivy does too, she looked up to you,”
“That’s why I don’t want her to get hurt. She is only good in piano, she don’t have to get mixed up in these,”
“Time up!” Ella shouted.
“I’ll sign it, don’t hurt my sister, please… request for the return, I’ll do whatever you want, don’t hurt my sister,” she cried.
“Awwwww… this is so sad, I’m about to tear up,” Ella teased.
“Ella, call the dispatch company right away,” Maxwell said.
“I will, relax,” she said, and send a mail to them.
She showed Violet the mail, and Violet let out a sigh of relief.
“I already played my part, now it’s time for yours,”
“How sure am I that you won’t hurt Ivy afterwards?” Violet inquired.
“Because she won’t be a problem to me after you sign this. It will be bothersome if I hurt her anyways, so let’s all settle this the easy way,”
Violet sob quietly before signing the papers and Ella clapped.
“Gosh, this almost took forever. Finally, Maxwell, finally,” exclaimedsaid, and embraced him.
“It’s not over yet!” Violet threatened.
“Sorry to say that it’s over for you,” Ella teased, and kissed Maxwell.
“Not here, Ella,” Maxwell said, pulling away.
“Why? She is tied up to a chair and we just got everything we want. It almost took forever,”
“That’s why we shouldn’t do it here, somewhere more beautiful will do,”
“Sllly boy,” she giggled hitting him playfully, disgusting Violet.
*
Violet stayed tied up for days with only Maxwell checking on her and feeding; Ella never showed her face again.
She started thinking of a way to escape and an idea came to her mind.
Maxwell went to feed her dinner as usual but refused to open her mouth.
“Stop making this hard. I don’t want you to starve,”
“Why aren’t you kllling me?”
“According to Ella, everything will happen too fast so as at least eat while you can,”
“Then untie me to eat properly,”
“I’m not that stupld,”
“I have been tied down for days, don’t tell me you’re scared that I might escape when I don’t even know where we are? I know that you will hurt Ivy even if I get lucky to escape, so I know better escaping. I just want to eat properly,” she muttered, sniffing in.
Maxwell think about it for a while before he untied her hands.
“You’ve to eat fast before Ella comes. She is coming today,” he said, and she nodded.
“Can I go somewhere else, like a dinning. I’m not comfortable this way,”
“Not that too,”
“Please, Max, I’m begging you,” she said, and he untied all the rope.
She got up weakly while he led the way, and she picked the rope and strangled him from behind.
“Arggh. . Violet, he cried, struggling with the rope.
She released the rope and hit the chair on him before running off with his phone.
“This is a really bad idea, Violet. You said it yourself, your legs are weak,” he shouted as he ran after her.
She became too weak to run so hide somewhere to call Mr. Josh who was the only person she could think of but he didn’t pick up so she sent him a message and continue running when she heard footsteps Maxwell approaching.
She pick up a heavy wood and hide to hit him unaware but he appeared behind her instead, she struggling to hit him with the wood, but he end up collecting it, and hit her with it instead making her pass out.
“Violet, Violet,” he shouted, trying to feel her heartbeat.
“Maxwell, what’s going on here?” Ella who just arrived asked.
“She is d£ad, I kllled her,” he said, and tears flowed freely from him eyes.
“So? We were going to get rid of her anyways, you just hastened it up,” Ella said, but Maxwell was unable to hold back his tears.

FLASHBACK ENDS***
*
Violet broke down in tears and Charles embraced her.
“I’ll help you get back at them, Violet, I’ll help you get back at everyone of them,”
“Thank you for doing all these Charles, I wish I could give you something in return because this is beyond anything that I can ever do for you,”
“I know you can’t give me anything in return because you know what I want. How can a human and a ghost be in a relationship? It sounds ridiculous but I won’t stop my feelings because this is the first time I ever felt this way, and I like it,”
“Charles….”
“I have never said this out loud before but I won’t hold it in anymore,”
“Don’t say it,” Violet said, shaking her head.
“I love you, Vee,” he said, and she didn’t stop shaking her head.
