CHAPTER 130 BABY FIRST

Liza's POV “He wouldn't stop crying.”“The mother wouldn't attend to him. I have no b*****m*** to feed him.”“If he's mine? It would be a different story. I probably would be beaten to death for neglecting my child. But does a maid even have a say in this matter?”The maid ranted on, and I was perplexed at the lack of fear.She wasn't concerned I would go say all she's saying about Zoe to her.I mean, I visit here often and act like we're good friends.“Are you talking to me?” I asked so she could be cleared.It's me with her here and not her gossiping friends.“No ma… I didn't say anything.” She denied.Funny how people always want to escape from a snare that already caught them.I heard her say all of that and she dared say to my face that she wasn't talking to me.How unprofessional of a gossiper. Well, what do I expect from those who serve morally bankrupt leaders?I pretended like she didn't just get me mad. I wasn't going to be mean like her boss.For a split minute, I thought

CHAPTER 131 END HIS LIFE

Leo's POV “This is no place for the living!” I bawled “But you've kept him here for days!” Lucil shouted back.“I wouldn't have done this if he didn't deserve it. Would I?”But he went stack silent like a scared cat.I motioned to the guard who followed behind. He was quick to action as he emptied a bucket of water on him.“S***! What-” he choked on his words the moment he realised he wasn't alone.Like a child who just woke up from a deep sleep, he ran his chained hands over his face.“Sir… please, you've got the wrong person. I don't know why I'm here. I swear!”I hate it! Don't swear. It reeks of disloyalty.I snapped my fingers and Derek took action. Plugged the wire into electricity and pinched his body with it.He screamed in agony and shivered as a result of the exercise.“I don't have time, I would have loved to play with you. Do you understand?”“Yes… yes… yes… I… I… understand… Sir.”That's what I'm talking about. “If you don't comply? This exercise is going to keep happe

CHAPTER 132 BEGINNING TO DOUBT

Liza's POV “Amma, what was that?” I couldn't believe I could read minds now.“Seems your mother is more benevolent than you thought. She keeps showering you with wonderful gifts.”Wonderful gifts, my foot! I scoffed at the thought of that.The first gift has caused Zoe to be more wary of me. Putting out people to watch and hear every conversation I have with those who seek my audience.“But now, you can hear their thoughts and act before they do.” Amma chipped in.“Ohhhh… I didn't realize it's such a piece of cake!” I can't believe she's making it seem so easy.I've avoided the clinic for days. It's been hard controlling how this thing works.I just keep hearing thoughts that don't interest me. Now, I know how dirty-minded people are. You smile widely at someone and your thoughts are strangling them?What a pity. That is what Amma calls a gift.“Are you sure she'll show up?” For the first time today, Amma is showing a valid concern by asking this question.What makes me think she'd

CHAPTER 133 MY IDENTITY

Derek's POV “When are you going to tell her?” A wrinkle appeared on my clean-shaven face the instant Leo's words hit the earth.“Tell who what?” I asked, still looking confused.I hadn't said anything to Leo about anyone. So, you can imagine the dilemma his question had thrown me into.“I don't know who… I can only guess. But one thing for sure is- there's a ‘she’ in the picture.”He was so certain he wasn't missing out on the core point here.Sometimes, his audacious feeling and the way he never ceases to make it known can be creepy.The intensity of his gaze didn't falter. “Is that written all over me? Or can you smell it?” With my gaze meeting his. I asked in the most pure tone.He smiled like an elder who knows where the sun will settle.“I don't have to smell you. But I can feel it. There's a second chance mate?” How Leo gets to find out about this is not surprising, or maybe it is…“You think so?” I inquired amusedly, trying to beg the question and laugh off the conversation.

CHAPTER 134 TASTED AS SWEET

Leo's POV “You think he'll be fine all alone?” Lucil's concern for Derek made me smile.“Who do you take him for? Of course, he'll be fine. You just wait and see.”I'm more than certain Derek's going to make the right and best decision even though he's in a state of dilemma right now.It's okay to be confused once in a while. It helps to re-assess what really matters to us.“You're not bringing him?” Now, I wish Lucil would just keep shut without bombarding me with questions.“Yes… I'm not. He needs some alone time to figure things out and be refreshed. Why do you care though?”I couldn't help but be curious as to why he wanted to know if Derek was going on this voyage with us or not.“I care because I pity myself.”Pity himself? Lucil won't stop getting on my nerves. Sometimes, I wish I could see him physically, so I could knock on his head.“I heard that!” He growled.Do I care? No! I don't. Why do I have to go everywhere with him?The Moon Goddess should probably make it possible
