” I wished I can help him, I will try my possible best as well ”

Getting to the small town, Royce drove through the rough road and after an hour, He stopped in front of a small shabby house.
It looked clean and well organized but old.
” Is this where she’s living? “I asked Royce and he nodded before turning off the ignition.
” Yes, She’s used to it already because she came from a poor background, Just that your sister isn’t used to it, But your younger brother is a little bit submissive “He said with a chuckle and I scoffed.
” I don’t have a brother, Just I and Ava”I said trying to assimilate his words.
” You have one, And he’s in elementary school already, Your mother took in before she left the house ”
” Wow ”
” I think we should go in, Or are you observing something? “Mateo asked and Royce shrugged.
” Did you bring any of my credit cards here?, I forgot ”
” Yes, I took five, I made sure I transfer enough money to each of them ”
” Good, we can go now ”
We walked into the compound and Royce urged me to knock, After two knocks, I could hear her normal soft voice, I missed her so much.
I think about her everyday.
Mom.
She opened the door and gasped at shock.
She look more pretty and radiant, You could hardly notice any sad trace of her face but I knew she’s hurting.
” Mom “I called and touched her.
” You’re here “She said simply before letting us in.
Mateo was about to walk in when she stopped him.
” You’re here to cause more damages?, Much more than the one your sister caused? “She asked in a hard tone and I sighed.
” He’s not what you think he is, He’s different “I said trying to clarify it and she only nodded.
After taking our seat, A young boy rushed into the room and ran up his mom, I stared at him keenly and he’s the exact replica of me.
He’s so cute and our hair are styled in the same manner.
” That’s your brother, He will be six soon, After I left the house, I realized I took in already, Knowing that Alvarez won’t listen to me or give me audience, I decided not to tell anyone about it, I took care of him myself ”
” It must have been hard “Mateo said in a whisper and she smiled.
” I’ve been used to it, Although it took me sometime before I was able to blend into it again, But I came from a poor background so all these aren’t new to me, We have been taught how to survive on our own ”
” How about Ava? ”
” She work at the textile factory, She should be here soon ”
” She’s doing well, Don’t worry ”
” How were you able to survive, Royce “Mom asked referring to Royce and he smiled.
” I’ve been a survivor, Although it was hard for me, It took me months for my wounds to heal but I’m better now ”
” You guys should start leaving soon, I don’t want you to be exposed to danger because of me “She said standing up to Gabriel and the latter wriggled himself from her grip.
He rushed to me, I picked him up and kiss his hair.
He’s so cute.
” Mom, why should we leave?, I’m here to make things right and take you back to dad, Alvarez corporations could not have been successful without you ”
” Don’t think you will convince me to leave here and exposed my kids to danger, We are doing fine here ”
” Did you think I was happy when you left six years ago?, It was hard for me as well, I can’t leave without you guys, And we need to take Brea down together ”
” I don’t want you to be in this, I can’t afford to lose any of you, Please ”
” It’s fine, I will be fine, Don’t worry about us “I convinced her and she sit down back.
I hope she will be able to let us do this together, Mom is soft, She doesn’t want any problem for us.

THE NEXT DAY
MAGNOLIA POV
Getting to the office, I met some of the workers standing beside the receptionist table, And new faces were being led to the office, They look sad and angry.
What’s happening?Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
” What happened?, Why are you guys like this? “I asked a guy and he grabbed my hand.
” Brea took over the office, And Zoe will be the new secretary as from now on, Brea changed all the workers as well ”
” Why’s she doing this?, Without Maynard consent? “I asked and he shrugged
“I don’t know, Our salaries will be cut down as well, Most of us couldn’t resign because of the contract we signed with Maynard so we have to work here in misery, But I hope you will be fine?, You’re Maynard woman”
” We never dated”I said sharply and he shrugged before walking out of my sight.
What’s happening?
Why’s Brea doing this?
Shortly, She came back with Zoe and wiped the sweat on her face.
She look hot as usual and beside her, Looking ravishing as ever.
She glared at me and I took my eyes away.
” I’m sorry for the rush and not informing you guys for changing office with some of you, The secretary has been changed, She will be in charge of packing the files and cleaning the CEO office including the new Secretary office, Other jobs will be assigned to her soon “She announced staring at me directly, I smiled and the workers turned to me, Staring at me pitifully.
I expected this anyway, Just like what Fleur told me, Brea is a witch, She will change her attitudes towards me.
” Your salary will be reduced to $500 monthly as well, The secretary will be the one to assign the rest of the jobs for you, I’m sure the rest of you know your place of work already, you can leave “She said clapping her hands and I nodded before walking towards the stairs leaving everyone behind
I guessed she still have lots of things to talk to her.
I called Fleur immediately and she picked it up.
” What happened? ”
” Brea changed my office already ”
” What?!, Why will she do that? ”
” I won’t have access to the company files again, I won’t be able to do anything “I said in fear and she sighed.
” Let’s use the last minute in your office judiciously, I will text you what you will do now, You need to be fast about it ”
” Sure,. Please do that as fast as possible ”
