Chapter 152

RATE AND REVIEW

" yes doctor, she'll be there tomorrow" Leonard said and hung up.

" What did he say?" Becks asked.

 " It'll be very risky and the chances are slim" he said and she rolled her eyes.

" It's not my first time have you forgotten? I have being doing this for years and I'm not willing to stop. I've gone a far way to give up" she said and got off the bed.

" I'm scared Becks" Leonard said worriedly.

She walked towards him, " if not for you, I'd not have been who I am today. Even God abandoned me when I needed him the most but you were there for me so why are you scared now? I'll do it no matter how risky it is" she said and released a sigh.

 Leonard shook his head, he knew nothing would change her mind.

" Best of luck" he said and left the room

Becks fell to the ground in tears. Life had been very unfair to her and now that it was finally been nice to her by making her who she was, it was going to take her away.

She got up, " you took everything I had away from me Lord but I won't let you win this time. I have everything I've ever wanted and I won't let you ruin my life. Years ago, it was you versus Ar......" Before she could complete her statement, Liv ran in.

" Mummy" she called.

" Yes Liv" Becks answered as she bent so she was Liv's height.

" I want to take a walk around the garden. Will you come with me? " Liv asked.

" Of course I will. Call Trish and we can go together" she said with a smile.

" Okay mummy, I love you" Liv said and scurried out of the room.

Becks rushed to her cupboard and took out a photo," you thought I couldn't live without you right but guess what? I'm living my best and without you. I guess I never needed you in this life" she said and tears streamed down her eyes.

" It is all because of you and Cassandra that I no longer believe in friendship. You all ruined my life and I got back up and today...... You're back in it, just that this time, you're just a business partner" she said and stared at the picture with hatred.

Just as she was about to put the picture back in the wardrobe, the wind blew it from her hand and just then, Leonard walked in and saw the picture on the floor so he picked it up and stared at the picture.

" Raymond?" He asked as he stared at Becks who already had her eyes welled up with tears. " What are you doing with a picture of him?" He asked.

Becks rushed to him and took the picture, " you don't need to worry about anything" she said

" Tell me, you still love him right? " He asked, pain evident in his voice.

" I don't love him anymore" she stated firmly.

" If you don't love him then tell me why you still have a picture of him with you" 

" I don't need to love a person to keep a picture of them. " She said, hatred evident in her voice.

" But be honest with me, you still love him right? " 

" I could never love someone who left me when I needed him the most. Raymond Styles left me when I needed him the most and you expect me to still be in love with him.... Never" she said and scoffed.

" If you're not in love with him, why is it that you didn't tell me he was your new business partner? " Leonard asked.

Maya stared at her wristwatch, it was already past ten and she wasn't supposed to be out that late. She felt tears stream down her cheeks as she thought of how scared and worried her mother would be about her.

" Mum could get a heart attack if I don't return early" she muttered to herself in tears. She'd been trapped in the restroom for hours and no one came to help. 

Infact who would be at the office at ten? It only meant one thing, she'd have to spend the night in the restroom. Tears streamed down her eyes.

" Help" she muttered one final time before falling to the ground, unconscious.

RAYMOND'S POV.

I sighed as I arranged my desk, it was past ten and I knew I'd stayed longer than I was supposed to and it was all because Maya wasn't there to help and that was when I realized how much helpQ Maya always provided whenever she was around.

I remembered Arnold and how he wasn't home so I decided to delay a little but what could I do? I decided to go through the staff book, the book in which staffs signed.

I went to the reception and took the book before going through it.

I was going through it when I realized something, Maya hadn't signed out which meant..... She was still in the office.

I quickly closed the book and rushed to her office and seeing the ketchup stained cheque on the table only made my blood boil so I threw it only to see her phone still on the table, it only Confirmed that she was still in the building. 

I scurried out of her office in search of her. It could be that she was stranded and had no one to help her. I searched round the building but couldn't find her when I suddenly remembered one place...... The women's bathroom. It was the only place I knew I had not checked.

I rushed there to open the door only to find out that it'd been locked from the inside. Maya wouldn't lock herself on the inside for almost eight hours so what was happening?

I tried pushing the door but it was not opening which only led me to one option..... Breaking the door.

I moved back before rushing and hitting the door, breaking it.

" Maya" I called as I ran into the bathroom.

I checked from bathroom to bathroom when I suddenly saw a bathroom which had been locked from the outside. Who'd lock a bathroom door from the outside and why?

I unlocked it only to see Maya on the floor, unconscious.

" Maya" I yelled before carrying her in my arms and taking her out of the bathroom.
