Maria was in her office unsure if she should clear the air about the rumors going around claiming she's Olivia Roy James or not.
' if I refuse the claims I have to live with this mask on for the rest of my life but if I accept then Edward James will face the law regarding Cent Clark claims' she murmured to herself while pacing around her office
"Ma'am it's getting late" Lila said as she came into the office.
"What time is it?" Asked Maria
"10:40 p.m ma'am" said Lilia and Maria gaps unaware the time had been far spent; taking her phone and work bag she stepped out of the office while Lila tagged along.
"To the James mansion" Maria told her chauffeur and Lilia was a bit stunned.
"Don't you think it's risky going over there ma'am" asked Lila.
"I can't bare spending another night in two weeks without seeing my girl" said Maria.
" But the_" Lila was saying
"No but Lila" Maria said in a stern voice but little did she know she'll regret not listening to her assistant.
About ten minutes later they arrived at the James residential area but stopped at an exclusive spot.
Maria got out of the car and went towards the mansion just as she had previously been doing and she was luck to get in once again. But she felt it a little bit odd as none of the securitys slacked off from their duty post.
Unknown to Maria Edward James made it so, he had increased the security system and reinstalled the new model CCTV cameras in the mansion that could detect an intruder ten fifteen feet's away from the mansion. So, in other words the securitys are aware of her sneaking around.
Edward James found it suspicious on how she revisited the James mansion after their first encounter; to say he was shocked to find out the reason she visits was understatement_ that made him set the loop holes for her to buy time in investigating.
Maria stayed her usual time five minutes with her daughter before getting out but luck wasn't on her side.
As she made attempt to get over the fence a figure stopped her.
She struggled to be free as the person who held her was covering her mouth so she won't scream.
"Ouch!" He cried out releasing his grip on her.
"How dare you" Maria questioned but the later was stunned to see she was the one.
"Mrs Olivia Roy James what brings you to the James mansion and why are you flying over boundaries" he asked Maria then knew who it was but she scoffed she wasn't in her best mood; all she wants is to be close to her child at that moment and if possible her husband as well.
"What I do is none of your business" said Maria.
"Of course it is_ since the day you stepped into my company and discreetly took over it; don't you think I need to know you for who are" he asked but Maria shrugged and was about walking away but was stopped.
"You owe me an explanation Mrs Olivia, what business do you have with the James family?" He asked holding Maria firmly on her shoulders but Maria slapped his hands away glaring daggers at him.
"Keep your hands to yourself, not everyone is filthy" said Maria
"I can do you better than your husband you know" said Cent Clark smirking at her but Maria sneered
"You wish" Maria said rolling her eyes as she tried to Walk away but Cent Clark pulled her back and pinned her to the wall about to kiss her but Maria felt like her disgusted as she threw punches on his face breaking his nose.
Cent Clark crushed his nose that was now bleeding profusely but Maria was wasn't done with him as she stepped on the spot light doesn't shine on.
"You witch_ ohuu ohu ahuahu!" Cent Clark cried out in pain as Maria gave him a last kick on his stomach.
His screaming alerted Edward James who was taken a walk round the mansion_ he stood in the shadows not to be noticed by Maria.
