“Why? You won’t do that?” Robert smirked. He raised his hand and trailed his fingertips on her cheek.
“Then, do you want me to do it the normal way?” He asked.
“Since my wife is depriving me of my food, why don’t I do it in the usual way?” His hand trailed to her chest.
“No, Roberto, next time please” Cecilia begged.
Roberto smiled and moved away from her.
“Good. It wouldn’t be nice for a husband to be raping his wife all the time, right?”
“So, don’t ever think of going back if you don’t want me to R@PE you to death” he said as his face turned to a deadly one.
“Come down for lunch” he said and went out of the room.
Cecelia fell to the floor as a tear rolled down her cheek. Here, she was stuck with a monster, a monster that makes life miserable for her every minute.
It was all her fault, if only she had spoken out to her husband, if only she hadn’t let her fear control her, this wouldn’t have happened.
She would be with her husband and children now, her Charles and Lilian.

WASHINGTON METROPOLITAN HIGH SCHOOL***
Jaime stood still as Layla continued crying against his chest. The words she was mumbling in her sleep got him wondering if something was wrong with her Dad.
“Layla…” He tried to push her away so he could see her face but she refused and held him tighter.
“Don’t push me away please” she cries.
He sighed and wrapped his arms around her as he allowed her to cry her heart out.
Lilian was about to enter the class but stopped when she saw the scene in front of her. She bit her lips and turned her back to them, she glanced at them again before leaving there.
Maybe it’s best to give up on him, since she can’t have him as a lover, then a friend will be okay. She wouldn’t wanna lose him on both sides.

Jaime made Layla sit on a chair and he sat on the desk, facing her. Her face was still wet with tears.
“Can you tell me what’s wrong?” He asked softly.
Layla shook her head and looked away.
Jane stretched his hand and held her cheek so she could meet his gaze.
“You’re in pain, Layla. Please share it with me” he muttered.
“Did something happen to your Dad?” He asked.
“He’s gone,” she mumbled.
Jaime was over shocked to hear that.
“He left me when I needed him the most. I was only fourteen then, I was sick and he left to buy me drugs,,, he never returned after that night” her tears came falling like a river.
“My mom blames me for his death every single day, no day goes without her showing her hatred towards me. After the day I got discharged from the hospital, her attitude towards me changed drastically. She doesn’t treat me like her daughter again, she h@tës me more than anything in the world” she sniffs.
“She became a drunkard who drinks anytime in the day, she beats me up at any slight chance she has. She….” Her tears couldn’t allow her to finish her words.
Jaime got down from the desk and pulled her head to his chest, his hand soothing her hair slowly.
“Was she the one who made you have those bruises?” He asked, trying to hide the pain laced in his voice
Layla nodded her head against his chest and a tear dropped down his cheek. He quickly used his hand to wipe it away.
“I killed my Dad, if only I wasn’t sick that day, if only he hadn’t gone out to buy me the drugs, he would still be alive by now” she cried.
“No, don’t say that. It wasn’t your fault, no father would watch his child dying in front of him without doing a thing. It’s not your fault, Layla” he muttered.
Layla wrapped her hands around his waist as she closed her eyes tightly. She had never told this to anyone, not even Wyatt. She had never shown her weakness to anyone, but he saw it all.
Strangely, she could feel a burden being lifted off her chest now that she shared it with someone else.
“Your mom is probably depressed that’s why she thinks that way, it ain’t your fault, Layla” Jaime said.

MONTERIO’S INVESTMENT***
There was a knock on Charles’ door and Lewis entered. He bowed his head.
“The car is ready sir” he said.
Charles nodded.
“And the driver?” He asked.
“I already told him what you said. He’ll be returning to work tomorrow” Lewis answered.
“Good. And I have a job for you” Charles said. He signaled Lewis to come closer which he did.
“I want you to guard Hailey in secret, I feel like Monterio won’t just sit still” he said, referring to his Dad.
“Report her every movement to me, make sure she’s in no danger. If you see any strange person around her, don’t hesitate to inform me. Lastly, don’t allow her to be aware of your presence”
“You mean I should protect her in secret?” Lewis asked.
“Yes. I trust you the most out of my men that’s why I’m assigning this job to you”
“Don’t worry Boss, I’ll never disappoint you. I’ll make sure your girlfriend will be in no danger” Lewis said.
Charles raised his brow.
“I know everything, you’ve never treated a lady the way you do to her. It’s very obvious that you both are in love with each other” Lewis smiled.
Charles placed his elbow on the table as he joined his palms together.
“I’ve been lenient on you, right? I’ve been too easy on you till the extent that you now have the time to pry into my private life, isn’t it?” He asked.
Lewis’s eyes widened.
“No, Boss. Not at all, pardon me if I’m being too nosy” he quickly bowed his head.
“Leave” Charles said.
Lewis bowed his head again and quickly left the office.
Charles grinned. He wasn’t wrong after all, he has never treated any lady the way he does to Hailey.
“Cara Mia” he mumbled to himself.
He stood up and picked up his phone, after making sure he forgot nothing, he left the office.
He saw Hailey sitting on her chair, rolling a pen in between her hands. In as much as that act of hers looks so innocent and cute, to him, it was the most beautiful scene he has ever seen.
“Is the work too much for you?” He asked as he approached her.
Hailey snapped her head towards his direction and smiled when he got to her.
“No,” she said.
“Huhuh, I don’t believe you”
“Then don’t” she mumbled.
Charles poked her forehead with his finger.
“You don’t talk to your baby that way” he reprimanded.
“Tch!” Hailey grinned.
“Are you ready? It’s time for us to leave” he said.
“Well yeah, let me just round this up” she muttered.
She quickly did a few things on her computer before shutting it down.
“All done,” she smiled.
“Why are you looking so beautiful right now? Making me wanna do some naughty things to you” Charles suddenly said.
Hailey gasped.
“Don’t you think you’re being a pervert now?” She asked, clearing her throat.
“I wouldn’t mind if it’s just for you” he winked.
Hailey shook her head while laughing. She picked her handbag and they both went to take the lift.
They both came out of the elevator and Hailey walked ahead of Charles till they got outside.
“Did you really have to act that way?” Charles scoffed when they got to the car.
Lewis opened the car door for them and they both entered the car.
Just as they settled in the car, Charles’ phone rang. Charles brought out his phone and on seeing his Dad’s name on his screen, he dropped the phone.
“Why aren’t you picking his call?” Hailey asked.
“Nothing” the call ended and almost immediately, it started ringing again.
“Pick the call, it might be important,” Hailey said.
“I don’t want any disturbance whenever I’m with you” Charles smiled. He asked knew why his Dad was calling and he’s never gonna pick the call.
“But….”
“No buts, Cara Mia” he said.
“You’re so stubborn,” she mumbled.
Charles pretended like he didn’t hear her.
“Come here” he pulled her to his laps.
“Where do you want us to go?” He asked as he played with her hair, placing his arms around her waist.
“Where do you think?” She asked.
“How about lunch first?”
“That’s not a bad idea,” she smiled.
