CHAPTER 38: MOTHER’S PLAN

ZANE

I miss Tayla every day as I go on with my life without her by my side. It has been months since the last time I saw her. I do not want to take a risk about her life. I know she will understand me and the situation we have right now. I gave her a letter before I lie low with our communications.

I know she is safe and in good hand. I did my best not to communicate with anyone because of some circumstances I am going to encounter.

I need everyone to be safe especially closer to my heart. Even Tayla's friends I told them not to communicate with her for a while.

They understand what I was going to do and they respect me for the sake of everyone's safety.

Arriving from business trips were exhausted. After the abduction of Tayla, I decided to stay at my father's mansion for a time being. It is better that way to feel that I am just near her. I know I can easily access to her while I was in the manor.

However, there is always a BUT because my mother has some people working in the mansion. I am aware of that. Single move it will destroy everything I plan for.

The gated mansion opened as soon as we entered. Brix parked the car in the driveway. I saw another car parked. Shaking my head because I know who that is.

"You can pick me tomorrow same time Brix and be careful especially Hazel." I reminded him. "We need to end this now that we have all we need to settle." He nodded.

"You too! You have a guest already when we arrive." Brix smiled.

I stepped out from the car and Brix waved goodbye to me. I proceeded to the main door.

I saw my mother with Rebecca by her side. They stood up as soon as I walked towards the living room.

"What's bring you here, mother? It has been a long time since the last time I saw the two of you together." I speak.

"Well, I was busy but now I am not because I have some good and bad news." The smile of her face was delighted with this news.

"Oh! And what is that?" I said calmly.

I sat across them as I listened. She walked towards me. Standing in front and handed me a photo. I looked at it and it was the one that she took from us that night.

"How did you get this?" I said in high tone.

"Well, for starter, someone send this to me before but I thought it was some prank." She lied. "But I asked Rebecca and she said it was not. They were asking money for the photo and I gave it. For the sake of Rebecca's reputation and to you too."

"Oh! So..."

"So?" My mother got irritated. "Is that your reaction after you sleep with her? She lost her virginity to you, son." She added.

I glanced at Rebecca. She was blushing and her eyes were not dare to look at me when I look at her. She knows inside her that my mother was lying.

But I will still ride on with this craziness my mother planted. Let's see where it leads to.

"I never recall that we had sex that night, Mother, if that's what you are implying to."

"But this photo is the evidence that you two slept together." She insists. "Besides, I want you to marry her. I like her for you."

"Now, you are talking nonsense here." I smirked. "I already have a girlfriend and she is the only one I want to marry."

"Girlfriend? That girl! Your maid… ha!" Raising her brow at me. "I will never accept her for you."

"Then I do not need you to because I am not a kid anymore. I have my own mind to decide who I will marry." I said firmly.

"You better not because Rebecca is pregnant with your baby." She smirked.

I stood up and calm myself. I looked at Rebecca again and she is biting her lips.

Shaking my head. "You two are free to leave. I do not have time for this." I left them in the living room.

"Zane!!! Zane!!!"

I heard my mother shouted as I walked towards the stairs. I went to my old room. I even locked the door so that no one can come as they pleased.

I took off all my clothes and went straight to the shower. I have been exhausted from work and my mother's craziness. Too much greedy will not make you happy it will worsen you more.

The next morning, I woke up with some news that circulating on the media. It was about me and Rebecca getting married because she is pregnant with my child.

These things became worst as I expected. My mother will not stop until I won't strike her back. I wanted to do it quietly but she made it publicly. I do not want to ruin her but she needs to stop.

I called my mother. "Mom, why did you do this?" I said angrily to her on the phone.

"Well, you never listen to me. I want everyone to know that you are getting married and that girlfriend of yours wherever she is right now will back off." She cut me off the line.

I was having a bad mood with all my mother's plan. She has done behind my back. Now, I will not sit back anymore. I want to taste her own medicine.

"Do we still have some people following Rebecca and my mother secretly?" I asked Brix when we were inside my office.

"Yes, since that time you told me to follow them secretly." He replies. "I saw the news about you."

"Yeah, I know and she is becoming more ridiculous every day." I sighed. "Prepare everything and those people in the manor will be eliminate from the manor as well. I do not want any more disloyalty people. Too much risky.

"Okay, I will do as you instructed."

"We will act as if I will agree to her so that she will not think any more trouble for us."
