My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 644

Chapter 0644 

“In the Palmer family, divorce was frowned upon, especially after my father abandoned my mother. I couldn’t do the same. But if it had been up to me, I would have left her the moment I found out she was cheating on me.” 

“She didn’t deserve the life you gave her. Now I understand why I treated Mary the way I did. Those beatings your gave her I saw them. I was just a child, but I remember them.” 

“She deserved every bit of it! That woman… I loved her!” 

“Love? What love? All you ever did was inistreat her.” 

“In the end, she was the woman I loved most. Besides, my father did the same to my mother, and no one said anything. It was normal in our lives. So why wouldn’t I do the same? And you know what? I’m tired of your insolence. Let me tell you a little secret, Maximus–you’re not my son!” 

“That’s not a secret, Leonardo. I already know.” 

“What? What the hell are you talking about?” 

“I’m talking about the fact that I know you’re not my father. I’m Magnus Evans’s son. He’s my father, isn’t he? The man whose hand you cut off.” 

“That scumbag! We trusted him, and he had the audacity to get into bed with your mother. That bastard mocked. me. But I outsmarted him. You’ve dedicated your life to this company, Maximus, and in the end, you have nothing. You don’t belong to this family. All your properties, even the mansion you’re living in right now- they’re mine. And as we speak, they’re evicting you. 

“What the hell are you saying?” 

“You heard me. Right this moment, the police and one of my lawyers are at your mansion, kicking you and your brood out. What? Did you think I’d just leave that property you? That house was mine. Catherine gave it to you, but since you’re not a Palmer, you have no right to it. Unless… 

“Unless what? What are you getting at?” 

“I might reconsider… but it’ll cost you something. You have two beautiful daughters, but the one that interests me most is Serenity. She’s stunning. I could easily- 

Maximus felt a wave of heat surge through his body. Alexia’s words came rushing back to him–how she had also been a victim of the man standing before him, abused by the monster he now faced. Leonardo’s veiled threat about his daughter snapped something inside him. 

“You’re sick, Leonardo! You’re a sick, twisted man! She’s my daughter, and I’ll defend her with everything I’ve got. And if that’s not enough, remember this: she’s also Marcus Bartz’s daughter. 

“Marcus? Oh, please. Marcus’s a little preoccupied right now. While you’re here, trying to act like you have everything under control…” 

“What the hell are you talking about?” 

“Marcus was just arrested.” 

“What?” “Wh 

“Yes, dear Maximus. He thought all his crimes would stay hidden, but guess what? Frank Levett Jr. found his father. And let me tell you, he’s in terrible condition. Apparently, Marcus had him imprisoned for years. Poor Frank Sr…. no ear, no finger, no eyes, no tongue. That poor man–he was once the honorable Judge Levett, a symbol of respect and justice.”
