Chapter 0025

I couldn’t deny that Jason Davies deserved a proper punishment, but it was also painful to see him lose everything to that woman.

“He was too stupid not to be smart,” I condemned.

“Yeah, it was like Kendall put a spell on him. What a hell of a situation.

“Spell or not, he remains the one to blame for all of this.” I sighed and thought about Jason.

I understood that Jason was facing a worrying financial situation now, but how far apart was that situation from my case for him to truly know that he loved me now? It could all just be regret on his part for being so stupid to the point of stealing like that, and he could be remorseful and think that it was better to get back with me, but how true would that feeling be?

“This is very complicated. Why does Jason Davies have to be so complicated like this?” I was exasperated, looking at the ceiling of my living room.

“You know him, Laura. You know him better than all of us, you alone can tell when he’s telling the truth or not,” Terence said, leaving me with more conflicting thoughts.

That afternoon, work went normally and to my delight, I didn’t see Jason again for almost the entire day, until the moment in the elevator. It was already departure time, and I missed my daughter so much that I called her while I was packing my bag so I could go to the flat where I was staying.

“Hello, Mommy?” I heard my princess’s voice on the other end of the

line, and I almost cried with emotion.

“Hi, my sweetheart? Are you okay?”

“Anne misses Mommy,” she said, making me smile.

“Mommy misses Annie too.” It was so good to hear her cute giggle on

the other end of the line. “Are you already home?”

“Yes, Mommy, Ricky went to take me to daycare, and now he’s making dinner,” she said.

“Today we’re having tacos with buttered chicken filling, if you must know.” I heard Richard’s amused voice on the other end of the line, and I ended up laughing.

“Yummy, that sounds delicious. I want it too,” I said, and my daughter laughed.

“Mommy said she wants it too.”

“Oh, what a shame, the two foodies here are going to eat everyt Richard replied, making Anne and I laugh. At that moment, I was entering the elevator.

“I’m sorry, Mommy, but Ricky has the monster in his belly. He’s go to eat everything, but I’m going to save some for you, okay, Momm Don’t worry,” she said, all caring. “My daughter was a little angel.

“How thoughtful of you, sweetie.” Before I closed the elevator door, Jason entered the elevator, closing it, and the elevator began to descend with just me and him inside. My eyes widened in fright when I realized that Jason was there while my daughter was talking to me on the cell phone.

“Did you call Terence?” Jason asked, approaching me as he panted from running to catch me in the elevator.
