"I’m so happy for you. Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!" Jeslyn was so mad that her laughter sent a chill down Vera’s spine.
"Th– thank you," she stuttered. "Are you ok?"
"Oh, don’t mind . I hit my toe."
"Oh? Ok. Hope it–"
"He must be sleeping beside you right now, isn’t he?"
"You an Mav? Y– yes, he is." Vera switched it to a video call.
Jeslyn Hates that tone when she calls him ’Mav’. Why would she call him such a childish na?!
Well, it was obvious she was jealous and was mad about Vera calling him Mav when she was settling for that as his pet na.
looking at the image on her phone, she could see her husband sleeping peacefully on Vera’s bed... NAKED! His handso face was filled with tranquility. She smiled at the cara. "You both are lovely. Don’t tell him we spoke. I don’t want to get involved with your reunion."
"Rossa, th– that’s not it. I’m sure Mav won’t want anymore if he wakes up." A teardrop fell from her eyes and she wiped it.
"Why won’t he? You should do what you know how to do best to keep him." Jeslyn smiled creepily.
"Ex– excuse ," Vera looked lost.
"It’s simple. You are a woman, you know what you’ve been doing that made him co to you last night. Continue doing it"
Vera smiled, still not understanding Jeslyn’s underlining words.
"Thank you so much, Rossa. You are such a nice soul... wuaaah... I was thinking of how to tell you this before I saw your call. You are his legally married wife, yet he had a night with his baby mama. I’m so sorry, Rossa..."
’Yet you dared to have a night with him!’
"You don’t have to. When the desirable is unavailable, the available becos desirable." Jeslyn said with a sweet smile on her face while her heart was raging.
The smile had been there since the call was switched to Video. One would wonder if the muscles on her face won’t get paralyzed.
"Yes, to be honest. We were about to get married before I was kidnapped out of the hospital. Now–" Vera clearly heard what Jeslyn said.
Maybe she just decided to ignore it or maybe that was why she felt the need to say what she just said. Whatever her driving force was, she made her point.
"Don’t worry about it. I’ll make things right. I’m a woman too and I perfectly understand."
"Rossa, how can I repay you for this? I won’t forget this favor. I’m..."
"Yeah, I won’t forget it too..." Jeslyn cut her off.
"You an?"
"Oh, haha... I an, it’s an unforgettable experience, dear Vera. We can’t forget things like this happened... can we?"
"You are right. I’m so–"
"We’ll catch up later. I’ve got an important call." Jeslyn ended the call and her smile slowly faded.
"Wh– what was that about? Did she say Mav? They slept together? Why would she find a doppelganger to fool ? What is Vera up to?.... No, I don’t understand." She shook her head in denial.
"Did Maverick really do that? He slept with her?! He cheated on ?! That’s not possible. I’m his Rossa... right? He wouldn’t do that to , right?... I need answers. I need damned answers!"
Jeslyn was panicking and just couldn’t believe the authenticity of Vera’s words. What if Mav probably had an episode of whatever and fell asleep in Vera’s room? The room wasn’t Maverick’s, so it was clearly Vera’s.
Or sothing happened to his health and he saw Vera as , then slept with her?... Illusion...right! That must be it. Maverick cannot hurt like this. He can’t!
Jeslyn dialed Rex’s number while bitting her nails and pacing the room.
"Yo, sister-in-law–"
"What happened? Your phone wasn’t going through." Jeslyn said.
"Sorry, I was too busy."
"Are you still in Country M?" She asked.
"Yes, but getting ready to travel out. Why?"
"Can you help drop by your brother’s? I think sothing is wrong with him. Check out what is going on, please, hurry!"
"Relax and take a deep breath. My brother is fine. He isn’t sick and–"
"Stop talking crap and hurry to your brother imdiately! He was talking to on the phone when I heard him groan and ever since I couldn’t reach him anymore." Jeslyn lied just to get Rex active.
"You lie a lot Jeslyn. If I find out it’s another of your tricks to get to do your bidding, I’ll –"
"... Help you get a wife. Hurry!" Jeslyn interrupted him.
Rex sighed in resignation before leaving. He knew she lied but still had to go anyway.
On getting to Maverick’s house, he asked the butler for his whereabouts and he responded that Maverick hadn’t left his room since and it was already 10 AM... weird.
Getting to his door, Rex sounded the bell but no answer. He did it a few tis before he unlocked the door using the ergency keys he has with him.
Entering the dark sitting room, Rex waited for his eyes to get adjusted to the darkness before heading to Maverick’s room. "I wonder why you like darkness so much. I read that only vampires like darkness."
Getting into the dark room, he switched on the lights. Much to his shock, Maverick and Vera were under the blanket.
Rex’s face drained color before it alternated between red and blue. Fury!
Rex’s cheerful personality disappeared and the coldness he was exuding would rival Maverick’s.
He took large strides to the bed and yanked the cover off their bodies.
Vera, who was sleeping, yelped and instinctively covered her chest with her hands.
Rex glared at her. If only eyes could kill.
He looked at his sleeping brother and tapped him but Maverick didn’t wake up.
His brows furrowed and looked at Vera. She looked pitiful and aggrieved. "You scheming bitch! What did you do to my brother?!"
"I– I did nothing to him. H– he ca upon last night looking weird. He forced himself on while calling Rossa. I– I tried to push him away but... I couldn’t. I’m a victim!" Tears started to run down her cheeks as she bemoaned her predicant.
