Chapter 57: Housewarming party 5
The atmosphere became heavy but soon afterwards, Liyah wiped her tears and took the glass of water and gulped it all down and put on a smile saying 'I feel refreshed'.
'Me too' Mai added. The men looked at them and smiled and they all ended up laughing. They decided to postpone the game for another night and spent the entire night chatting and teasing each other till the fell asleep in the hall.
In the middle of the chaos, the five people found friendship, a friendship that would last their entire lives as they each tried to live the best they got and not allow anything to stop them from shining.
TWO DAYS LATER.
SAINT GROUP.
PRESIDENT'S OFFICE.
Morris knocked and went into the office and Aaron looked up closing the document and handing it over to him saying 'Morris, I need you to find out something for me'.
'What is it, boss? Just say it'. Morris replied.
'I want you to find out about a car accident that happened 15 years ago. Liyah's parents' accident'.
'Boss, do you think it wasn't really an accident?' Morris asked suspiciously.
'Yes, now that I am connecting everything together, I don't want to leave any stone unturned. I suspect Mandy Myers might have a hand in it'.
'Yes, boss. But, boss, what are you going to do about Mandy Myers. I already found out where she is hiding. Just as you suspected, she is staying at the villa of Josh's deceased parents. The house has been vacant since they passed away so he took the old lady there.
Your brother is also looking for Miss Rowena Myers. From my investigation, he had already contacted Lorca and his men. Soon they will start searching the whole of D-City'.
'She is playing hide and seek with me, let's let her have a little fun before we bring her out. As for Miss Myers they won't find her that easily. Is not anyone who sent her away. Is Maijune we are talking about. That girl is craftier than anyone can imagine'.
'Yes, boss. Then, I will excuse myself'. Morris said and went out. Aaron sat back relaxed on his desk and smiled as he thought about August Maijune.
JIAYA HOUSE.
CLOTHING MATERIALS LANE.
Mai sneezed and Liyah turned and looked at her saying 'someone must be talking about you?'
Mai felt goosebumps and shivered saying 'wow, that didn't feel right at all. Someone must be finding me annoying'.
'You're right, you can be annoying'. Liyah said as she walked to the satins and touched them to feel them in her hands.
Mai walked to her saying 'you shouldn't be telling me that. Who is a queen when it comes to annoying people? I was busy at home preparing a cathartic that can make one go to toilet nonstop and you pulled me out. Do you know how much time we have wasted here? I could have been done by now'.
Liyah turned and looked at Mai saying 'wow, who rubbed you the wrong way? What are you going to use a laxative for?'
'Someone very annoying. More annoying than you, you see. I didn't know annoyance had levels until I met you and him'. Mai said as she picked a blue satin looking at it.
'I am happy I am not that person right now. Whoever gets into your bad books is in for a ride'. Liyah looked at the material in Mai's hand 'this colour used to be my mom's favourite. She made a lot of her clothes with blue. Now that I remember, all her clothes were mostly blue. Even their bedroom was painted blue'.
'Really? Blue is not bad. What about you? What is your favourite colour?' Mai asked walking to another stand.
'I love yellow. Is bright'. Mai chuckled and turned to face Liyah.
'Yellow? You're such a girly girl'.
'What about you, Mai? What colour do you like?'
'Purple. Me and August love purple, but Maijune loves black. All her clothes are black you see'.
'You're right. She always wore black. I missed that girl.
Liyah said absentmindedly and Mai's face turned gloomy as she asked 'what about me? Will you miss me when I'm gone?' Liyah realised what she said and quickly smiled trying to change the subject.
'Look at that material, let's go and take a look'. Liyah pulled Mai along as she walked hurriedly towards some other materials.
Mai pushed her hand away startling Liyah. Liyah turned and looked at Mai. Mai looked at Liyah coldly with a darkened gaze contrasting to her usually meekness as she spoke.
'You didn't answer my question. I asked if you would miss me if I were gone too?' Liyah noticed the change in her and spoke cautiously.
There was a sudden chilliness to Mai's voice and her aura at that moment made Liyah gulped in fear as she tried to act cautious.
'Off course, I would miss you. You're the coolest of all your sisters'. Liyah said as she looked at Mai.
Mai chuckled sarcastically saying 'lair. You're lying to me, Liyah Myers. Your pupils are dilating, your hands are clasped' Mai studied Liyah as she spoke 'you are afraid of me, right? You're been careful with me right now. You don't want to anger me because I am the most dangerous one among my sisters'.
Mai chuckled dryly but her gaze on Liyah became more apparent and darkened.
You're right. I am dangerous. In fact, knowing that you love my sisters more than me makes me angry. Is annoying and I feel like getting rid of them right now. It will stop the competition between us. I just have to make a formula that will erase them from this world. Excuse me'.
Mai gave Liyah a dubious smile before turning to go.
Liyah's bag fell to the floor and she quickly picked it up and removed her phone dialling Aaron's number.
'Pick up, Aaron please'. The line connected and Liyah spoke as fast as she could 'Aaron, listen to me and don't interrupt me' Liyah narrated everything that happened and hung up leaving the shop in a haste.
Aaron got up and made a phone call to Leo before leaving the office. He also called Dr. Kash and informed Leo to let his men look for Mai sharing her location with them.
Previously, he had put a tracker in August Maijune's phone so that he would know wherever she was at any moment. Aaron got into his car and drove towards the location of the tracker little did he know that he and everyone else was going to see a darker and dangerous version of Mai that night.
The Mai who was incapable of feeling pain.
