157 Plans Changed
The next morning, Jeslyn woke up feeling somewhat. Throughout their preparation to return to the city, she didn’t say much. However, before taking the yacht to leave the island, she said;
“Maverick, I want to return to Country Y. I’ll join you in Country M in three days.”
She was supposed to go with Maverick to see Valen, but now she was changing her mind. It was weird, so Maverick asked.
“Why?”
“I’m not healthy,” she replied.
“What’s wrong?” He placed a palm on her forehead. She wasn’t burning up.
Jeslyn brushed his hand off. “My period will be here probably tomorrow,” she replied, a little irritated. “Oh,” Maverick nodded slowly. That must have been the reason she didn’t want him to come inside her last night.
“Does it hurt?”
Jeslyn shook her head. “It has gotten better over the years. Just some discomfort,” she replied.
It hurts though. The cramps are over the top on the first day. But after taking warm water and paracetamol, it gets better and she falls asleep, so she no longer considers it a thing to worry about.
Just the thought of always getting wet and having to see that red liquid while changing pads or whatever products she decides to use gets her really annoyed.
That’s the side of her she doesn’t want Maverick to see. Her period makes her super sensitive, angry, moody, irritated, just name all the emotions…also, she tends to eat a lot too.
Maverick gave a slight nod to indicate he understood.
But does he?
Getting to the shore in Country Y, a black car was already waiting for them. Maverick helped Jeslyn out of the Yacht and they headed to the car.
On their way, Jeslyn fell asleep with her head on Maverick’s thigh.
Maverick looked at her dotingly and slowly brushed her hair to the back of her ear. Her face looked peaceful. For a long time, he stayed that way with no one knowing what he was thinking.
A moment later, Jeslyn’s phone rang. Maverick didn’t want to pick it up but the phone kept ringing. He picked up the phone, intending on switching it off but seeing the ID, he got curious and answered
the call.
“Rossa, thank God you finally picked up. I have been trying to reach you for days but your number wasn’t going through. I’m sorry for always bothering you, but I really need you to help me talk to Mav. He wants to get rid of our baby… hello, are you there?”
“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

Maverick disconnected the call and stared a little longer at the caller ID ‘drop dead‘ before he glanced at Jeslyn.
“Do you hate her so much? Should I make her drop dead?”
Maverick deleted the call history and erased Vera’s information from the phone. Then he called Rex once he was done.
“What happened?” he asked.
“I’m sorry bro, she escaped,” Rex said slowly, afraid that his brother would blow up.
“Leave her.”
“Why?” Rex asked.
“She’s not simple.” Maverick disconnected the call after that.
Rex on the other hand was surprised when he heard that. His memory flashed to how Vera escaped from him.
After Rex received the message from Maverick, asking him to get rid of her pregnancy, Rex sent her juice but Vera didn’t take it. He sent her milk and even stayed with her but Vera suddenly got a stomach cramp which made Rex call Matt but because Matt was busy with the last stage of the antidote, he refused to answer the call.
Rex had no choice but to take Vera to the nearest hospital but who would have known that Vera would leave the hospital? It didn’t occur to Rex that she would suspect a thing, so he only had three guards stationed outside the VIP ward.
From the report Rex got from the guards, Vera escaped by knocking the nurse out and switching places with her. Smart!
“She’s indeed suspicious. I never liked that Vixen and it’s obvious I didn’t make a mistake. So, where the hell did she go?” Rex asked thoughtfully.
Vera on the other hand was living with Maverick’s mother. At the moment, she was pacing back and forth in front of the woman who was staring at her.
“How about you have a seat, daughter–in–law?”
“No, mother, I’m scared. I can’t reach Rossa anymore. Is she angry at me?” She asked in a panicking
voice.
“Even if she’s angry, what can she do? You are carrying my son’s second child and she has none. She might be important to my son, but you own the house. With this pregnancy, she will have no choice but to leave my son alone.”
“Mother–in–law, that’s not too good, is it?” Vera asked with a frown.
“Don’t be stupid. That house belongs to you and no woman must enter. I’ll make sure of that.”
“But mother, Mav hates me. He even asked for my child to be aborted. He only has eyes for Rossa.” She sniffed back her tears.
“Leave Maverick to me. I still have a few moves that will make him surrender. He’s only having his way
because I allowed him.”

“Mother, please, don’t hurt him. I love him so much.”
“I won’t hurt my son… if he doesn’t push me too much. Her face turned sinister after saying that.
Jeslyn woke up to see that it was nighttime. She got down from the bed and went towards the balcony. The floor–to–ceiling glass door was left open, causing the cold wind to slap her exposed
skin.
She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms before looking down to see that she was wearing a transparent nightgown.White panties and no bra under the thin garment.
That was when it occurred to her that she was supposed to have changed by now. Jeslyn changed directions and headed to the bathroom, However, she was clean.
“That’s right, my period should be coming tomorrow.” She reminded herself and walked back to the
room.
Then, she saw him, coming from the balcony.
“You? What are you doing here?” She frowned.
“You don’t want to see me?” He asked.
“Not that,” Jeslyn started to walk towards him. “I thought you would return to Country M after dropping me off.”
“You fainted, I couldn’t leave you behind.”
Jeslyn froze. Then, does that mean…
“What day is it?”
“Today is Sunday… eight days.” He said.
“What? That’s ridiculous! When is this bullshit going to stop for crying out loud!” She angrily sat on the bed and threw the pillow aside.
