S3-Chapter 51

Author: Maria Anita
Manuela’s POV

I was very upset with Flavian for the way he spoke to Sam, but in the end, I understood his concern for my safety. I couldn't stay mad at him for long anyway. I missed him; I'd spent just one night away from him and was already longing for his presence.

I opened the apartment door determined to resolve this situation - I wouldn't stay mad at him. He had already apologized to Sam. When I looked around, the apartment was completely dark, which I found strange since Flavian should have been home. I glanced around but saw nothing, went to the kitchen, and it was all dark. I went to the bedroom, but Flavian wasn't there.

"How strange! I wonder if he hasn't arrived yet?" I asked myself.

I left my purse in the closet and took off my shoes, leaving them there. I went to the bathroom, took a shower, and put on one of his shirts. I missed him so much that I wanted to smell his scent, so I wore his shirt. It was past his usual arrival time. I was going to call him. I grabbed my phon

    Rita’s POVThe day was scorching hot and I returned from church exhausted, desperately needing a shower and a cold drink. It was tiring to play the role of an abandoned wife and having to accept all the advice and laments about my ungrateful husband who had left home. Truth be told, when I arrived and realized Orlando had moved out, I was quite pleased - I was already tired of him, but I needed to maintain my role as the loving abandoned wife."Cida! Cida!" I called for the maid, but she was such a dimwit, always taking forever to show up."Yes, ma'am?" Cida appeared, drying her hands on her apron."Where's Julian?""Sleeping, ma'am.""Bring me something cold to drink, I'm burning up." The maid left the room and returned with a tray holding the refreshment. She was looking at me suspiciously. "What is it, Cida?""Ma'am, Cam was here earlier.""What did that good-for-nothing come to do at my house? Did you let him in, you useless thing?" I had already forbidden that insufferable man fro

    Cam’s POVAfter visiting my sister, I kept thinking about how to get Rita's sample for the DNA test. Flavian had explained the ways to get it, either through a strand of hair or a glass she had used. So I kept wondering how to obtain it.I came to the conclusion that the best approach would be to enter the lion's den. I woke up early and went to Rita's house at the time I knew she would be at church. I never understood why she spent so much time at church when she was such a terrible person. Perhaps she just wanted to maintain her facade of being a good person for the rest of the town."Cam, good morning." The maid received me and found my presence strange. After I left this house, the few times I came back were because of Manu, who thankfully wasn't here anymore."Hi, Cida, is your boss home? I need to talk to her.""She went to church. And young Julian is sleeping.""Of course he is, that good-for-nothing. I'll wait for Rita, I need to speak with her." I said as I walked in and sat d

    Manuela’s POVI left college with PH by my side - he really hadn't left me alone for a moment. When we got outside, Flavian was already waiting for me beside his car."Hey, little one! I missed you." He pulled me into a hug. "Good evening, Peter Hank.""Good evening, detective." PH replied somewhat awkwardly."Man, just call me Flavian. Sorry about that day, but I think you can understand why." Flavian was apologizing to my friend for how rudely he had treated him when they first met, and I found that sweet."Don't worry about it, Flavian, I understand. And you're right to be jealous - Manu is truly beautiful and very special." PH smiled at me. "Manu, I'll wait for you here at the entrance tomorrow." We said goodbye to my friend and got in the car."Little one, what happened?" Flavian asked as soon as he started the car."Calvin showed up here." I said, still processing that visit."Who?" Flavian looked confused."Calvin, the father of the fiancé my mother arranged for me." I explained

    Manuela’s POVBut here was the news: Flavian showed up in front of me with a woman hanging on his arm, but instead of introducing her right away and explaining she was his sister, he just stood there with that mocking little smile. I was ready to chase the girl away, but fortunately, she stepped forward and introduced herself.Lexie was beautiful, tall, slim, with a narrow waist, long straight black hair, and dark eyes like Flavian's. She had doll-like eyelashes that enhanced her features. She had full lips and fair skin. She was also very friendly and only lost her smile when Flavian mentioned Patrick, which made me think they probably didn't get along very well."Where are the big shots, Rick?" Flavian asked, referring to Patrick and Alexander."Patrick's already gone. He came in really early today and left even earlier. But Alexander..." Rick looked ahead, and I saw Alexander coming out through the door."I'm here! How are you, Flavian? Catherine's been complaining that you two have

    Flavian’s POVMy mother stared at me, not even glancing at Lexie when she delivered her ultimatum. Lexie stood frozen halfway up the stairs to the second floor, her expression shocked."Lexie, go pack your things. We'll sort this out with our mother when she's calmer," I said, keeping my eyes fixed on my mother.An hour later, I left my parents' house with my siblings. My mother didn't even say goodbye to her daughter, but I knew she was just trying to pressure my sister. My mother was an expert at emotional blackmail and always managed to manipulate my sister."Flavian, now she hates me! What am I going to do?" Lexie was tearful in the car as we headed to the airport."Lexie, Mom doesn't hate you. It's like you don't know her at all. She's like a stubborn child who says these things to make everyone do what she wants. Haven't you seen how she acts with Dad?" I tried to console my sister."I don't understand why she wants me to marry that worthless guy," Lexie said, frustrated."About

    Flavian’s POVI arrived in Bellwood and went straight to my father's company, where my brother was already waiting for me."Explain to me, Flavian, what are you doing here today?" Raul asked curiously, as I had not told him the reason for my visit."Our father was at my house on Saturday. He went to talk to Manuela." Raul looked at me as if he couldn't believe it."But Mom said he had gone to the neighboring town to visit a friend," Raul kept an eye on what our parents were up to and always warned me when he found something important."Well, he didn't. He caught Manu alone while I was on call," I explained. The fact that my mother had lied only raised another red flag for me. "But from what she said, he just tried to convince her to help bring me back, as he likes to say. Apparently, he was quite polite with her.""That's somewhat better. But is that why you're here?""I came to make it clear to him not to mess with her. And I also came to check on Lexie's situation. Is Mom still going

    Manuela’s POV"Do you really have to go?" I asked my brother who had just put his suitcase in the car."We do, Manu, but we'll come visit you more often." My brother hugged me very tight."Tell Dad I'm fine, so he won't worry." I said goodbye to my brother and sister-in-law and watched their car drive away."Little one, I'm worried. That woman won't give up. She can't get into the building, but there's no way to keep her out of college," Flavian said with his arm around my waist. He had been repeating the same thing since Saturday, and I knew he was right, but I did not see how to avoid it."I know she won't give up, but I don't know what to do," I said as we walked to the car. We were back to the routine of him driving me everywhere."You should file a complaint against her and Julian," Flavian was insisting that I should go to the police station and report the assaults."Flavian, she's my mother. It's not even about Julian - he's my brother, though we'll never be like real siblings.

    Rita’s POVAfter I got rid of Julian, I looked at the man who wanted to talk to me. He was very handsome, and it was obvious he was wealthy, which surprised me since Manuela's boyfriend said he was just a detective. I followed him to the hotel bar, and we sat at a table in the back."So, Mr. Cesar, what do you want?" I asked straightforwardly. If he thought he could intimidate me, he was very wrong."Uh..." He looked at me, and then I realized I hadn't told him my name."My name is Rita," I said and waited for what he had to say."Rita, I have plans for my son, and I believe you also have plans for your daughter. That's why I need to take my son home, but while he's dating your daughter, he won't go. I believe together we can resolve this," he explained, and I understood - he did not want his son with Manuela, just as I was not happy with this relationship."This relationship is causing me many problems too," I lamented. "Do you think together we can make these two drift apart?""I thi

    Flavian’s POVAs soon as Manu fell asleep, I went back to the living room. I had a pending conversation with Manu's brother."Look, I've seen a lot of bad things, but what this woman does to Manu is too much even for me," I commented as I sat down."It used to be worse. Manu would get horrible beatings for anything. One day Rita beat her with a belt, leaving Manu's body covered in buckle marks, all because she ran into the house and knocked over some ornament that broke. Manu was only ten years old. Rita always threatened that if she told our father about the beatings, she would get beaten more. I had already moved out by then, only found out because I got suspicious when Manu was wearing warm clothes in summer, and I asked her to tell me. Man, I almost hit Rita, but my father arrived, and we fought. Manu begged me not to tell him." Cam's eyes welled up with tears."And that wasn't the first time, wasn't the last, and wasn't even the worst," Olivia added. "I'm amazed that Manu doesn't
