280 RIGHT TO ME
What happened? I asked the maid who had told me a little shit about my great–aunt, arid now I wanted to know the whole crap.
Well…:
“Well, what?” This harsh tone echoed in the mansion, and I turned around. My great–aunt
was walking towards the stairs.
I glanced at one of the maids. “I thought you said she was asleep,” I vocalized, referring to
my great–aunt right here.
“That was what I thought.”
“Gossiping about me, huh?” My great–aunt smirked, walking closer.
“Oh, please, save your crap for later,” I fired back.
She glared at the two maids. “These two of you, get out of my sight right now!”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Don’t tell me that; just get out!”
They wanted to leave, but I halted them and said, “Hold on. Take her along with you.” I was referring to Catherine.
“Okay, sir,” one of them says, moving closer and taking hold of Catherine’s hand.
“Find her a comfortable room, okay?”
“Okay, sir. Come on, let’s go.” They all walked away after that.
My great–aunt took her eyes off them and turned to me. “Who’s that girl now, huh?”
“How is that your concern?”
“Don’t you dare do shit with me, Luke?”
“I wouldn’t even waste my time.”
“You entered this residence with a prostitute who claimed to be your spouse. How disgusting is that?”
“Ariel is my wife. Show some respect,” I told her coldly and walked away.
am not done with you. Where are you going? She asked loudly, but I decided to ignore he
saw the maids coming out of one of the rooms in the mansion. It was obviously where they had taken Catherine.
“She’s in there, right?” I pointed towards the room, and they both nodded. “Okay, thank you.”
They walked away while I made my way inside the room. It was dark, but I turned the lights on. Catherine was sitting on her bed in deep thought, and I could just guess what she was thinking about. But I didn’t know the reason why she was so infuriated with her mother. My mother took it, but come on, let’s put it in a simpler way.
I walked closer and sat next to her on the edge of the bed. She didn’t say anything, and she
didn’t look at me; there was total silence around here.
So I waited for a minute, or something close to that, before I finally spoke. “What are you
thinking?”
Catherine looked at me with an expression that was somehow not nice, kind of bitter, but she turned her face away. “Can you please leave? I just want to be alone.”
I let out a sigh. “Why are you so troubled? What did she do to you? I’ve got millions of questions right now, but you’re not ready to say anything. I even need to know why that man was chasing you earlier.
“Please leave. We’ll discuss this some other time.”
“Are you sure about that?”
She nodded. I exhaled deeply, and then I stood up. “Okay, then. If you don’t want to talk, it’s fine. I’m not going to force you. But please, don’t be a depressed soul. You’re too little for
that.”
“I know,” she whispered and looked at me. “Thank you.”
“If you ever need anything or someone to talk to, I’m here,” I said, placing my hand around my chest.
“I’ve heard you,” she told me inaudibly, nodding.
“Take care.” I walked to the door and turned the lights off. After that, I left. Man, I felt sorry for that little girl. What the hell did my mother do anyway? Technically, it wasn’t just that she burned the house, it was something else. Something she did intentionally, and I
needed to find out what it was.

I wanted to walk to her room, but then Ariel started calling me. Ariel, shit! I forgot that we were having a conversation before that happened.
I answered the call. “Ariel, I’m so sorry.”
“Sorry for what?”
“I ended the call and forgot to call you
back.
“I’m not mad. I’m just standing at the front of your house right now.”
“Really? Are you being serious?” I asked.
“You can come outside to see for yourself.”
“Okay, just hold on. I’ll be…”
She ended the call before I could finish my sentence. I had a feeling she was upset.
I quickly walked downstairs and left the mansion. I went through the gate, and Ariel was looking beautiful in a black dress. She was leaning against her car, and she chuckled the
moment she saw me.
“Luke Reynold, it’s nice to see you,” she said, walking closer to me.
And when she had gotten close, she wrapped her hands around my neck, grinning at me.
