Back to the hotel

Back to hotel

In the hospital, Maya has been expecting Jude. She got mad about him coming late.

"He heard I was hospitalized, he should have rushed here" She shrugged.

Maya will be discharged today, she wanted Jude to come pick her up and hold her hands, and together, they will visit Liya at the police station.

She laughed.

Liya would be so angry and sad.

"But why isn't he here yet,?" She shouted.

There was a knock on the door, Maya smiled expecting Jude.

"Come in," She said.

Just in Jude's P.A., Jean came in, Maya was disappointed to see Jean instead of Jude.

"Where is he?" She frowned.

"Who?" Jean asked.

"You know who I'm talking about" Maya snapped at him.

"Jude won't be able to take you to the hotel, he sent me inside. I have already spoken to the doctor and the nurses signed some papers for your discharge. Come let's go 'Jean offered his hands to Maya.

"Where is Jude? I want him not you "Maya brushed off his hands.

"I'm afraid, that's not happening. The boss is at the police station. "

"What! " Maya stood up, she grabbed Jean by his collar.

"Repeat what you just said "

"Jude is at the police station trying to free Liya, he got angry and yelled at the policemen for arresting his wife, "Jean said freeing himself from Maya.

"His wife? he called her that? "

"Yes"

"Did you inform him I was stabbed? "

"He is aware "

"Yet he left me for that thing who stabbed me? "Maya fell to the ground in tears.

Jean petted her, patting her back" Don't cry, I'm sure he cares about you too "

"He does! "Maya screamed.

"If he does, he would have rushed to me first "Maya stood up, wiping her tears.

"Have you cleared the bills and signed the necessary papers for my discharge? "She asked him.

"Yes, should we go now? "

"Let's go, Jude should better have an excuse for treating me this way. " Maya stormed out of the room in annoyance.

Jean looks at her in pity" Why is she like that? She isn't his wife so what's her problem? Maya should better accept the fact that Jude belongs to another woman. Well I have no say, after all, Jude is the one allowing this ".

Jean went after her, and together they drove to the hotel.

Jean and Maya met Jude the receptionist yelling at the hotel manager, she saw some policemen too.

*Where is Liya? *She wondered, liya isn't here which means, she is still in her cell.

Maya ran to Jude, hugging him" I miss you "She said with a sad, low tone. She held onto him tightly" Why didn't you come to pick me up from the hospital huh? "She asked.

Jude paid little to no attention to Maya, he has serious business to handle right now. He gently pushes Maya away, ignoring her completely.

Maya felt heartbroken, Jude didn't ask about her health, and he didn't embrace her and and look at her wounded part.

*No, this can't be happening * She thought of a way to get Jude's attention.

She held onto him again placing his hands on her belly" Look here, I'm not really that injured. It was painful but not that serious, I know you would have been so worried about me "She said and pecked him.

Officer Rong felt disgusted at Maya's shameless attitude, why would she throw herself in a way that had no time for her?

*Total nonsense! *He rolled his eyes at her.

The other officers and hotel staff felt pity for Maya, she looked so desperate.

Jude pushed Maya the second time, and this time, she fell to the floor.

"Ah "She screams in pain.

Jude didn't even look her way not for once.

"Sh!t, ahh! "Maya screamed again louder.

Jude remained unmoved.

*wtf *She thought.

Tears dropped from her eyes, what's happening? this was the same man who used to run after her, this was her lover who used to prioritize her well-being.

She felt crushed, heartbroken.

An officer who pitied Maya helped her up" Are you okay? "He asked her.

"Yes, thank you "

"Why do you want us to drop the case, that's absurd "

"You should blame the hotel for their carelessness, why will there be a power cut in an expensive hotel that charges $500, 000 to $2,000,000,000? This can never be a mistake! "Jude shouted.

The hotel manager trembled upon hearing that" We are truly sorry, it was a mistake from our engineering team, who knows things will end this way "the manager said.

Jude laughed in mockery" Will you people admit your mistake and face the consequences? "Jude asked in a devilish tone.

"What... What consequences? "

"The mistake is from the hotel, there is no way there will be a cutout in this big hotel. There was a power cut, next thing, someone was stabbed. This can't be a coincidence "

"I don't get you, sir, Liya stabbed Maya, she took advantage of the darkness " The manager explained.

"Absolute lie. Liya is incapable of hurting people, it's all your plan, right? You police officers should arrest this manager and question him till he spits the truth "

The hotel manager went on his knees" We are sorry, please forgive us, we don't know about the incident " he pleaded.

The receptionists and other staff joined their manager begging.

"Ahem "Officer Rong cleared his throat.

"Mr. Sebastian, are you sure you want to drop the case, you can press charge against the hotel if you want, "Officer Rong said to him.

Jude smiled" Never mind, let's just settle things here, no need of taking things too far, don't you think so,? "Jude asked Yu Chi who answered immediately.

"Yes, we shouldn't go too far " Yu Chi supported Jude.

"What about Liya, our prime suspect, what if this happens again"

"It won't "Jude assured.

"I know she is your wife but you can judge people based on their cover, you can't say she is harmless just because she appears so. Remember the most dangerous killers are the quietest ones, they don't wear it on their head "
