Chapter 17


    Maya finished to fold herst clothe in the bag. It was theirst day in their ''honeymoon'' and she


    couldn''t be any happier than she was at that time. How ironic was that? Real couples who go for real


    honeymoon they always don''t want their love days toe to an end.


    They even go to an extent of adding few more weeks even a month. But there she was, happy. Happy


    that her mystery of an honeymoon wasing to an end. She closed her bag and slid it on the floor.


    Maya walked towards the kitchen to take a ss of water. She was thirsty from all the work she had


    done all afternoon. Yes, they had to stay till afternoon since ording to their flight, they had tond at


    6:30pm and it was 4:49pm, which left her with nothing to do.


    Maya walked back to the sitting room and sat on the couch. The couch that had be her bed for


    the past one week. She was going to miss it. Miss it since back at the mansion, it was the cold floor


    that she had to sleep on. She let out a breath that she had no idea she was holding when she began to


    think of that cold floor.


    Maya shook her head to try and convince herself to try and see the good side of it. The cold floor made


    her not to need rm since it turned to be day time, the more it became cold. This made her to never


    bete at work something that she thought would happen once she ever got married.2


    To her, getting married before was taking yours and your husband''s responsibility. But with Chris, it was


    different. All you had to do was pay for everything bad that happened in his life. That was the only


    responsibility that you had to take care of.


    Thinking of paying, her mind couldn''t help but think of three days ago. The day she slept at Leone''s


    ce and came backte. Her husband made her pay. He made her sleep on the cold floor for the


    remaining hours of the night but not in the living room.


    Chris said he didn''t trust her to be alone because she could sleep on the couch, so, he asked her to


    move to the bedroom. The following day, he woke up with an hungover, and still med her. He asked


    her to make sure that it was gone and he didn''t care how she did it and he, he didn''t need any kinda


    medication.


    So Maya did what she knew the best. She pped on the bed, which Chris protest asking her what she


    was doing. Then she moved behind his back while he sat on his sitting position. She massaged his


    head for three hours none stop.


    All Chris did was protest when she tried to stop. He wouldin that his head still hurt like hell. So,


    she continued till he fell back asleep again. Her fingers hurt since she wasn''t a masseuse. When she


    thought she was done with the problem for a while, she found arge list of the work she had to do that


    day.


    Her eyes almost pooped out of her socket with all the things that were written on it. Her dad hated her


    but he never made her do the house chores. She had maids for that job. So, how was she even going


    to do it. Clean the whole penthouse without making any noise to wake him up.4


    If there was one weakness about Maya and she knew about, it was that she was clumsy. Then how


    was she going to work around the penthouse without making any noise. It''s not like she hadn''t tried to


    do this so many times, she did but her nanny had to tell her to stop.1


    To stop since she was worse. She would only tell her to stick to her books that contained allot of


    Chemistry and Biology since that''s what she was good at. And now, here she was, if only she insisted


    more than before. Maybe she would have more than making coffee and preparing a ss of juice.


    Maya did the cleaning as she was asked but it was harder than she thought. By the time she was done,


    she thought Chris will be awakeining but it seemed her hands had a magic since he slept all


    through it despite all the mess she made while doing her chores


    Once she was done, she looked at thest thing that was on the list. It was about her making all the


    food that he had mentioned in the paper. ''And to make sure you don''t find any excuse to go and meet


    up with that kid, all the ingredients are on the upper cabin.'' Maya felt like walking inside that room and


    shouting I aren''t your mama, like Jennifer Lopez, but she calmed herself done. It was for the better, she


    tried to tell herself as she breathed in and out.2


    Thanks to technology, she prepared everything as she watched it in the You Tube. The food was done


    also and she wondered what all the different types of meals were for since it was only the three of


    them. I mean, plus Kimberly whom she hadn''t seen the whole day which was something new that day.


    Once Maya was done, she walked to the bathroom and took a cold shower. Her body needed to rx


    but not that long. As she was about to sit on the couch now dressed in jeans and a ck top, Chris


    walked to the living room.


    He asked her, no, hemanded her to pack the cooked food and take it to Kimberly''s room. Of


    course, it did shock her but she had to follow orders. Orders are orders. So, she got up and did as she


    was asked. They got to Kimberly''s floor and door number which Chris opened with his spare key.


    It didn''t surprise Maya at all, after all they''re a couple. Maya ced the food on the coffee table and


    turned to walk away. She needed to give the two love Birds Space to talk. Just as she was about to


    walk past the door, Chris asked her.


    "Don''t you have something to say, Jezebel?"1


    That made her turn to the couple. Chris was pecking Kimberly''s face while Kimberly looked up at her.


    Maya cleared her throat and apologized for ruining their evening. But Kimberly added ''and'' making her


    apologize for kissing her husband.1


    Whoever does that? Apologize for kissing your own husband? Apparently, Maya does it. So after she


    was done with the apology, Kimberly gave her the permission to leave but Chris asked her to stay.


    ording to him, he didn''t want her to meet up with that kid. It didn''t make any of thedies happy but


    Chris had spoken up.9


    Speaking of the kid, Leonel hadn''te back to look for Maya since that day. It had been three days


    and he hadn''t shown himself to her. She even wondered if that''s how much he was afraid of Chris.


    But with the way he was threaten, Maya knew better. She knew that Leonel would choose his work


    over her. They had just met four days ago and his work was always there. What would make him


    choose her over his work? Nothing. The only regret she had was that she didn''t take his number as he


    had suggested. But meeting with him, it was a blessing and all she could do is hope that one day, their


    path would cross again.


    Maya looked up when she heard the front door open. In walked her dear faithful husband with Kimberly


    in his arms. She thought he had gone to say goodbye to her when he left but here they were, the two of


    them.


    From what she had gathered, Kimberly was staying behind for another one week to take care of some


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    business. Business that Maya had no idea that models deal with, she held her tongue not to ask telling


    herself to stick to what she knew the best. And that is to operate on people.


    "I''m going to miss you, darling," Kimberly said pecking Chris'' lips.


    Maya watched Chris pull her into a passionate kiss which was something that she had gotten used to.


    The funny thing was that, it didn''t bother her one bit. To her, he could kiss whoever he wanted and she,


    she was there to act like a perfect wife without feeling any kinda jealous.


    When he was done, he looked at Maya and she stared back at him. His hazel eyes turned to blue and


    she knew what wasing next. So, before he uttered a word, Maya got on her feet and took her bag


    that sat next beside her. It was 5:30 and from the hotel to the mansion, it was a one hour drive without


    any traffic jam. Which we all know it''s impossible.


    "Lemme take my suitcase," Chris said as heard the door being knocked.


    Maya opened the door and she was greeted by the chauffeur. He took her bag as she asked him to


    wait for Chris. When he returned with his bag, he handed it over and Maya was about to walk away


    with the chauffeur.


    "Where are you going?" Chris asked staring at her.


    Maya turned to him and answered in a daah voice, "I''m going to wait in the car?"


    Chris turned to Kimberly who was texting on her phone. Maya couldn''t see argue sh on his face as


    he called for her attention.


    "You''ll stay here for the one week and the bill will be on me. I''ll tell the receptionist that someone is


    staying here."


    "Thank you darling," she said as she finished to type.


    "Okay, I''ve to go but be a good girl for me, will you?"


    "Always," Kimberly kissed him before they walked to the elevator with Maya.1


    Once Chris finished talking to the receptionist, they walked out of the hotel and to the waiting car which


    they slid inside. To Maya, she was going back to the cold floor and to the old mood swing husband


    since Kimberly wasn''t around for him. But the good side of it, she was going to be with Alma and


    Bernice her mother inw if she was going to stay any longer. But something that will never leave her


    always, her patients. She missed her work and she was happy that was going back to it.
