Stay with your wife,son.
Madelyn looked in the direction that Maya left in tears and scoffed. The young lady sure knew how to put on an act. She looked at her son who was about to go after her and shook her head.
“Your wife is here and you want to go after Maya? What kind of atrocious behavior is that?” Madeline shouted at Jude and he stopped himself from going.
“But it doesn't make sense Mum. How can Liya say that Maya tried to kill herself and then frame her for it? What kind of crazy person does that?” Jude defended Maya.
“That's why we have to find out about the truth. You can’t just support Maya. Liya is your wife!”
“A wife that I was forced to have!” Jude snapped and Liya gasped.
“Why are you talking in that manner, Jude? If you want to shout at me then fine but don't shout at mum. That's so disrespectful.” Liya spoke after observing for some time.
She was surprised at how Maya could act. She was not sure that it was Maya that did it. Her actions proved it. For someone who didn't do it, she was behaving so anxious and the crocodile tears that came out of her eyes were so absurd.
“What did I expect from her?” Liya thought to herself then looked at the man that was her husband.
He couldn't even pretend to hide the love and lust that he had for Maya. It was so evident on his face and he was just about to run after Maya.
“Keep quiet! You are the cause of all this. You are the one that did it.” Jude accused Liya.
“You can't say that. Do you have proof that Liya did it? If you don't then don't talk.” Madeline told her son.
“Then how is she so sure that Maya did it if she doesn't have any proof? You can't just spit out lies from your mouth because you are insecure about yourself.” Jude said bitterly to Liya.
“Jude!” Madeline scolded him.
Liya couldn't believe her ears. She was also forced into this marriage but she is trying to coexist in it but he isn't making it easy for her at all.
“If you want to go after her turn do it, just remember that she is your secretary and j am your wife! Do what pleases you.” Liya said and walked out.
“Mum, did you just see how she spoke to me? Maya would never do something like this and why is Liya acting so fierce all of a sudden?” Jude said.
“She is just standing up for herself son. Don't tell me that you are going after Maya.”
“I just want to make sure that she doesn't do anything stupid to herself. Liya just accused her of harming herself.” Jude said then ran off to where Maya went.
“Jude!”
Madeline shook her head with a deep frown on her face. She knows how a woman thinks and it sure is possible for Maya to do what Liya said although there is no proof for now.
Maya got to a safe distance and wiped the tears off her face in anger then smiled brightly. “It takes just a few tears to make Jude run to me in worry. There is no way that he is going to believe that girl now,” she said to herself and smiled.
“He will be here before I count to ten and that's a fact.”
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, t…”
“Maya!” Jude shouted from outside of the door and she smiled. “I knew it!”
She waited for a bit and forced herself to cry then went ahead to open the door with a look of anger on her face.
“What are you doing here? Go away and cuddle up with your wife!” she pushed his chest in anger and Jude wrapped his arm around her.
“You know that I trust you and I know that you are not capable of doing such a petty thing. I came here because I trust you more than that girl.” Jude said and she cried.
“I can't believe that she would lie about such a thing. How can I hurt myself just so that I can blame her for it? Do I look like a lunatic to her? I just love you. Is that a crime?” she cried and fell off his chest.
“I love you too baby. That's not a crime at all. We will prove that you are innocent okay? Don't cry. I am here with you.” he tapped her back and she suddenly pushed him away.
“You should have defended me when your mother was speaking bad about me. She was supporting Liya all the way and you just stood there saying nothing.”
“I did that. I just left them to come check up on you. Isn't that enough to prove that I trust you? You should know that I do by now.”
“Fine then. I don't know what that girl wants from me. She acts so innocent but you saw how she spoke just now. She just wanted to blame me for everything.”
“I was surprised too when she spoke so confidently,” Jude replied.
“That's what we call a wolf in sheep's clothing. Be careful around her. We don't know what she will try to do next.” Maya warned him and he nodded then pecked her forehead.
Liya stood in the hotel reception and paced around. She sighed repeatedly thinking of what she could do to prove her point. She was so sure that it was Maya that did it to herself.
“Is it because I don't talk? She thinks that she can trample all over me.” She said to herself.
“There should have been another CCTV installed there. They should check all over that place.”
She walked to the counter. “Hello. Please do you know if someone recently asked to check the CCTV camera of a room” She asked the receptionist and she shook her head.
