The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf novel Chapter 29

Maeve heard the horn of a car and she rushed to the window to look outside the house. She saw Wright’s car pull up and instead of Wright coming out from the car, someone else did. Seeing that it was not Wright that had driven the car, she rushed to open the door.

“What happened to my husband, why are you the one with his car?” Maeve asked the young man that had brought back the car.

“Boss called to ask that I bring his car home” the young man replied.

“From where, where is he?” Maeve was already getting more anxious.

“He went out to have lunch at the restaurant with Riona and Cindy, so some cars obstructed his exit and he left in Cindy’s car so he instructed me to bring his car home” the young man explained.

“I see. Give me the car keys, you can go back” Maeve said.

The young man handed over the keys to her and left.

She walked back into the house feeling deserted.

Riley rushed down the staircase “I heard a car pull up mum, is that dad?”

“No it is not him but his car” Maeve responded.

“His car, what happened to him?” Riley asked.

“Nothing happened to him, darling. It is just like I suspected. He went to have a nice time with Cindy” Maeve responded.

Riley was taken aback “Cindy?”

“Yes Cindy” She replied. “And of course Riona. He asked one of the workers to bring back the car”

“Oh, I see. Did the person say why he has not been picking his call?” Riley looked worried.

“No. No, I did not ask him” Maeve said.

“Don’t worry dear, you can go back inside, everything is fine” Maeve said.

“Okay, mum. You have to remain calm and ask dad for explanations when he returns. I am sure there must be a reason for that” Riley said.

“Thanks, darling, I will” Maeve tried to put up some smile.

Riley went back upstairs while Maeve continued in her thought.

Maeve heard a car pull up at the front of the house. She looked at the time on her phone and it was 7:48 pm. She did not bother to go check who the owner of the car is as she was sure that it was Cindy that had brought back Wright and Riona.

There was a knock at the door but Maeve did not respond when the knock came again, she said “The door is open for whoever that is”

She watched as the doorknob turned and Riona entered followed by Cindy and then Wright.

Maeve noticed that Cindy was holding Wright’s hand and this act infuriated Maeve even more. However, she hid her displeasure and went to take away Wright’s hand from Cindy.

“Hey Maeve, it’s been a very long time. How are you doing?” Cindy greeted.

“Cindy, I am good. And thanks for bringing my family home safely” Maeve responded.

Maeve said to Wright as she took his hand “Wright”

“Hey Maeve, it’s been a long day” Wright responded.

Maeve could tell that Wright had been drinking and he was already a little tipsy “Did you go out for a drink?”

“I went out with Riona, Maeve and it doesn’t matter what I went out for,” Wright said.

“What?” Maeve could barely speak.

“We were supposed to go out together today. Have you forgotten?” Maeve asked.

“Come on love, it is no big deal. I went out with Rio today, I can go out with you some other day” Wright replied.

“But you did not deem it fit to put me in on that, and you did not pick my calls. I have been calling you all day long” Maeve said.

Wright was surprised to hear Maeve saying that she has been calling him all day when his phone never rang even for once. “You did what?”

Maeve turned to Cindy. “Can you excuse us, Cindy? I appreciate your being there for them when they needed it, thank you”

Riona flared “She is not going anywhere Maeve, she is my guest”

“Riona?” Maeve called out.

“Yes. She brought us back, and you cannot just treat her like shit” Riona replied.

“Don’t worry Rio, I would leave already” Cindy said.

Cindy does not like the fact that the atmosphere was getting heated up all because of her. However, no matter how much she tried, she does not seem to understand the reason for Maeve’s insecurity around her.

“No Cindy, you will not leave until I say so” Riona objected.
