CHAPTER THIRTEEN
I looked at the wall clock and it was almost 3 AM and Brianna wasn’t at my side. I got up to look for her.
“Bree?” But no one answered. “Bree?” I went out of the room to look for her and I almost went around the whole house but Brianna was not there. I went back inside to pick up the cellphone when I saw the letter under the cellphone. I picked it up and immediately read.
‘Jace, I love you so much but we’re not doing it right. I don’t want to ruin your family so I’ll go away. Too far away for you to follow me. As long as you’re just around, I can’t afford to lose you. We just sin together. I’m sorry but I don’t want to. I also sold this house so that I don’t have reason to come back.’
FUCK!
Why did she decide like this? Why did she leave me? Did Maggie have anything to do with this? I called Brianna’s number but it can’t be reached. I took the key to go home because I had nothing to gain from it.
I caught Margot in the living room sleeping but I ignored her. I just grabbed a blanket and put it on her but she woke up.
“Jace, you’re here? Do you want to eat?”
“You’ve moved into the bedroom.”
“Do you have a problem?” she asked. Is it obvious in my appearance that I’m disgusted?
“Nothing.”
“Jace —”
“I don’t have a problem. Go inside the room.” I didn’t wait for her to answer and I went in first.
I’m disgusted. Brianna left me. Did she just send me there to leave afterward? I thought we were ok. I thought she understood. Margot was about to give birth and we talked I would file an annulment. But can I really file an annulment?
Margot came in and lay down next to me. She took my hand and placed it on her stomach. I admit I calmed down somehow so I kissed her belly.
“Goodnight, Umami, no twinkle twinkle now because daddy is tired.” I kissed it again and I leaned over.
“Goodnight, Jace,”
“Goodnight, Margot.” I just slept with my resentment. Even if I go crazy I won’t be able to find Brianna and even more so she won’t show up for me. I can really kill Maggie.
I DIDN’T want to go in, I didn’t even wait for Margot to wake up so I couldn’t say goodbye to Umami and I haven’t sung good morning to him yet because I’m really badtrip at the loss of Brianna. Almost all of Brianna’s acquaintances I have asked but they only answer that they don’t know where she is.
“Why do you look like that, Jace?”
“It’s your wife’s fault, Blaze.”
“Wait, what did Maggie do?”
“Why don’t you ask your wife?”
“Jace, you can tell us.”
“Brianna’s gone, Dane, and I don’t know where she is.”
“Ow, come to your senses, sucker. Good thing.”
“What good thing are you saying, Zeus? she left, a good thing?”
“So you can focus on your family.”
“You don’t know, Phoenix.” Why are they working with me?
“Come on, Jace, Brianna is gone. She doesn’t want to stay in your relationship so set her free. She has a life of her own and she has the right to be happy. She doesn’t deserve to be just your mistress.”
“You know, Dane, let’s just have a meeting, shall we?” Why are they so negative?
None of them opened the conversation so we continued with the meeting. We were halfway there when Maggie arrived.
“Hello, oh hi, Jace.” She handed Blaze her son Joker and sat down next to her husband.
“What did you say to Brianna yesterday, Maggie?” I asked as she sat down. I would have twisted her around the neck if only Blaze wasn’t here.
“Jace, did you read the files I gave you?” Phoenix asked but I frowned.
“You did not give me anything?” Then I looked at Maggie. “What, Maggie? What did you say to Brianna?”
“Jace, where is the document I gave you?”
“You give nothing, Zeus.”
“Brianna, your mistress?” Maggie asked laughingly.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Yes, my dear mistress, what did you tell her?” I tease him. She wants to make fun ha, then I will ride on her.
“Fool,” Zeus.
“Slow,” Phoenix said.
“No brain, ever,” Blaze.
“Stop it, you idiot!” Then I confronted Maggie. “It’s your fault, Maggie, so Brianna left. You talked to her so she left me.”
“Why? I am doing what I think is right. Because of your wrong relationship. It’s effective.”
“And who are you to say if our relationship is right or wrong?”
“Jace, stop.” Dane’s eyes widened at me.
“Leave her alone, Dane. It’s good that he says everything he wants to say,” Maggie said then smiled. “Remember what I told you? I will take one of them away from you. Well, Brianna made the right choice. Your relationship is wrong because you’re already committed to my sister.”
“There’s nothing wrong with our relationship. It just went wrong because I was married to Margot.” I didn’t mean it, honestly. I am just teasing Maggie.
“Super-duper noob.”
“Super-duper slow.”
“Poor brain slightly used.” Three said at once.
“Really? So, it’s not right to marry my sister?”
“Don’t answer, sucker.”
“Don’t answer, you’re stupid, Jace,”
“Answer it and you’ll really repent.”
“Don’t act like you don’t know anything, guys. From the beginning, you know that I was only forced to marry Margot because I got her pregnant. I’m sorry why I was sent this way. She just assumed that I liked her. She just claimed that I was his bf. I just felt sorry for her. I’m just a fool because I was carried away by Maggie’s threat so I agreed to get married. ”
There is nothing wrong with me marrying Margot because that is for Umami. I just really wanted to annoy Maggie so I said it. I understand that Margot is her sister but she’s always interferring. She is not in a position.
“Ow, so, until now you haven’t been able to love my sister completely.”
“I admit she has a space in my heart because of her kindness. But it doesn’t mean she’s the one I want to be with forever.” There’s nothing wrong with her being forever.
“Why did you marry my sister?”
“Because of Umami, besides, I have a plan to file an annulment after Umami will deliver. So Brianna and I have the chance.” Annulment my ass. She will my wife as long as Umami is our son.
“One more question, Brianna told me that you offered to get her pregnant when Margot wasn’t pregnant so you could escape Margot, do you mean it?”
“Of course, if I want to be the mother of my child, Brianna is what I want. But I shouldn’t pull Umami and let Brianna in.”
“Oh, so you regret that Margot is the mother of your first child?” I have no regrets because Umami came from the umami of my life.
“Do I have a choice?”
“No, because Umami is already in Margot’s stomach, right Margot?” She asked with a smile then looked behind me. “I’m done.” My World seemed to stop because of what Maggie was doing. I wanted her to say it’s a prank but —– I turned around and quickly stood up when I saw Margot standing in the doorway. She was holding a tumbler while crying.
“Margot.” Was she there before? Is that why Maggie is provoking me and the three of them are trying to stop me because Margot is here. “Margot, let me explain, I just wanted to annoy Maggie but what I said was not true.” I have a quick explanation.
“I thought I had done everything. It’s still lacking. No matter what I do, you can’t love me because you don’t really like me from the start. Because I’m the only one who assumed everything.”
“Margot, let’s talk about this. I’m just teasing, Maggie. I want to annoy her. Let’s talk.”
“What for? She’s already heard everything in your own mouth what she wants to hear.”
“Shut up, Maggie.”
“I told you, I’ll take one away but it looks like there’s nothing left for you.” Doesn’t really have anything to talk about.
“Margot, please.” Margot remove the ring and threw it at me. “Margot.”
“I wish I had just listened to Maggie. It’s not better for my son to be a bastard than I will be hurt like this. I trusted you, Jace.”
“Margot, let’s talk.” I saw her squeezed as if in pain. “Margot.”
“You should have no one with you.” She turned and go out but I followed her.
“Margot,”
“Do not touch me!”
“Margot, calm down, your baby might get hurt,” Dane approached her but she avoided. We are all out here and the employees are upset.
“Don’t come any closer, don’t touch me o else I will jump down the stairs.”
“Maggie, help us,” Phoenix called.
“What do you want me to do, Phoenix? You don’t know her, she’s worse than me when she become crazy. We’re really in the race to be crazy, it’s just worse for her because she rarely comes out.”
“Love, she’s pregnant,” Blaze called.
“Tsk, she knows she’s doing it and I can’t do anything even if I tame her. When she go crazy no one of us can’t do anything.”
“If someone of you follows me, we will be all in hell. You will see what will happen.” She turned around and took the elevator.
“Follow her,” Dane said.
“Is this what you want to happen, Maggie?” But instead of following I confronted Maggie.
“Hey, Jace, don’t blame me. You’re the one who did this so don’t blame me for your mistakes. What? Just to ease your conscience will you blame others for your sin? Because it’s easier to blame than to admit wrong. You are the culprit and out of your mouth came the words that hurt my sister.”
“Kill yourself both, you’re arguing instead of following her.” Dane left first.
“Asshole.” Zeus followed Dane.
“Courage to have a mistress, but slow,” Phoenix said and followed as well.
“Let’s go, Jace. Love, stay here with Joker.”
“Ok. Love.”
Fuck, if something might happened to my wife and sone. I can never forgive myself.
