Chapter 80 [2]
1st scenario
Maria’s mother is constantly calling her husband. Mrs. Elise mumbled, “Where are you, James? Please pick up the phone.”
Maria was sitting like a corpse on the bed. Mrs. Elise cast a sidelong glance at Maria. She was a little frightened to see her in this state.
Suddenly, he picked up the phone. “I’m at work, Elise.” “Please don’t call me so much,” James urged over the phone.
“Do you think I’m calling you to chat to you, James?” “It’s all about Maria,” Mrs. Elise said.
“Maria,” James murmured, his voice troubled. “What’s the matter with my baby?” “Is she all right?” he asked.
“I don’t think so, James.” “She isn’t talking to me or telling me anything,” Elise said.
“Why?” “Did you do something?” James demanded angrily.
“No, why do you do it?” “Please speak with her,” Elise requested.
Elise put the phone on speaker and held it close to Maria, as she had said.
“It’s dad, baby,” Elise said.
“Baby, it’s me, your father,” James said on the other end of the line.Honey, talk to me. Why don’t you tell me what’s wrong? “Who is hurting my child?”
Maria remained silent, simply listening to her dad. “Talk to your father, baby.” Elise stroked Maria’s hair and added, “Tell him he’ll solve everything.”
“Won’t you talk to your daddy, Maria?” James said.
Maria abruptly spoke out.
Maria: Dad, I’m in pain.
“Who hurts my baby?” James inquired, concerned.
Maria: …….
Maria remained silent.
James: baby.
Maria: Mom, would you mind going out for a minute? I need to have a personal talk with my dad.
Elise’s brows furrowed. She didn’t want to go, but James was on the other end of the phone and had overheard everything. If she doesn’t go out, James will be furious. He isn’t going to let her leave without a fight. After all, his daughter is his heart.
Elise stepped out the door after listening to Maria.
‘Clank’
Maria shut the door behind her.
Elise’s Remarks
I already know what she’ll say to him. I think that I am a failure. I am a mother who has failed miserably. I was unable to educate Maria. She has a striking resemblance to her father. She is unconcerned about others.
She doesn’t hesitate to take what she wants, even if it doesn’t belong to her.
Elise sighed and closed her eyes.
Her father used to make my life a living misery, and now this daughter is doing the same. For them, I’m simply a puppet. Do I have the right to express myself? No, I’m afraid I won’t be able to. I’m merely his housekeeper and the mother of his daughter. My work is only taking care of Maria. James, I’m only your wife by name, but I’m really your puppet. Just a puppet.
Elise sighed as she returned her gaze to the door. She is well aware that she is holding nothing in her hands. She was attempting to stop Maria by claiming that she had spoken with James, which was a lie. She didn’t actually speak with James.
Elise moved away and into her room.
Inside the room.
“Dad, please come here,” Maria cried and implored her dad. “You know, Daniel now doesn’t want me.” He’s attracted to someone else. “
“What?” said James.
“He has the audacity to hurt my child.” “How could he?” James shouted.
“It’s not his fault, dad. “That girl!” Maria cried as she said. “Do you know who that girl is?” James asked, his voice deep. “Tell me her name.”
“Sheetal. “She goes to the same college as him,” Maria said.
“Don’t be concerned, sweetheart. I’ll take care of everything. “I’ll also speak with Alex,” James said.
Maria: No, Dad. Not right now. Actually, I would prefer that you speak with him in person rather than over the phone.
James: Like you say, my dear. But I can give him a hint.

“Hello, Mr. Musa, I am Jolene,” Jolene said. “It’s lovely to meet you, Jolene,” Musa remarked with a gentle smile. “Also, thank you for saving my life.”
