Phoenix Sen

"I don't understand Mayan?"

"What don't you understand Betty" he replied coldly.

Betty looked at him before making her move to leave the house but Mayan held her back forcefully

"You aren't going anywhere till you tell me where you spent your night" he ordered. Ever since that night, he became restless to as what happened, every time he asked her about it she ignored him completely throughout without giving him any reasons. He had endured it enough and was bent on finding out the truth but one thing he prayed in his heart was that it wasn't what he thought about.

Betty didn't reply to him but fixed her gaze on him

"Answer me Betty" he shook her vigorously.

"Leave me"

"Io I won't... I called Ma sandy that night and she said she had no idea where you were she also said you had the twins with you and she had allowed you to take them home so where did you spend the night"

"I was with them" she replied bluntly

"That's not an answer....where did you stay!!!!"

Betty could already see thick lines forming on his forehead, he was furious right now.

"Why must I answer you?" she asked calmly still ignoring his question.

"Because you are in my house and your under me Betty" he let out in a deep voice that revealed his anger to a high extent.

"Then I guess it's time I leave then," she said trying to free herself from his grip. What happened next shocked her to her bones.

Mayan knelt and began to cry like a child. The voracious lion had turned into a meek lamb in splits of seconds

"Please don't leave, me Betty...I don't want to lose you again?"

"Lose me? to what?"

"To him....please Betty"

She raised a brow

"Was he talking of nix..... were these two monitoring each other's movements?" she thought

"I love you, Betty"

she froze.

"I'll do anything for you just don't leave me please I beg you....I can give you anything in this world just name it...i promise not to hurt youse did...I love you only and no one else.....just gives me a chance to prove that am the perfect one for you....I love you Betty" Mayan ranted on and on.

"I just need one thing from you Mayan"

He faced her still on his knees

"I need my freedom"

Mayan felt a wave of pain cloud his heart but he held himself.

"If that's what you want I'll let you go"

"Thank you" and she left.

She brought out her phone in a bid to begin to search for a new house to reside then she would take her belongings and leave Mayan. She knew that he still loved her very much after they had separated long ago in college but at this very point in her life, she never wanted to have anything to do with anyone including him. They were past lovers but now she had moved on and he should too.

Mayan felt his world come to a halt when Betty left. He had nothing in mind to do again since he had already confessed his love to her and she didn't even show a sign of acceptance rather she turned him down without looking back.

"Could it be she still loved that man?"

But how could she love someone who hurt her by getting another woman pregnant and deceiving her by telling her that he'll marry her only for her to find out? He felt a surge of anger fill his heart but he could only hate nix and nothing more. Betty would never want to have anything to do with him that he was sure of now....he regretted his past actions towards her...how he wished he never ignored her or had used his new girlfriend Linda to make her jealous which never even worked but even if that was so....he would hurt Nix for ever hurting a girl he loved and held so dearly to his heart. He had given up on getting Betty's heart but not on getting his revenge on nix

"Wait for me Phoenix Sen"
