Female NovelWaylen lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and then blew out smoke toward the night sky.
He said in a cold voice, “We had a deal, Mavis. I give you $20 million, and you help me gather evidence.”
“lknow.”
Pulling on Waylen’s pant leg, Mavis begged, “But I didn’t expect that Theo would make bail.
He will come for me now. Please, Mr. Fowler. This is the last time I will ask for your help. I won’t bother you or Mrs. Fowler again after this, I swear. Please.” ?
Resting one hand on her belly, she continued, “I just want to keep my baby.”
After a while, Waylen asked, “Who’s the father of your child?”
“I don’t know,” Mavis muttered after along pause. ?
She had been with too many men lately. She really had no idea who sired the baby in her belly.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Waylen looked at the vacant expression on Mavis’ face.
She really had the same likeness as Elvira’s. They were like two sides of the same coin.
Elvira was the light, flamboyant side while Mavis was the dark, mysterious side. Mavis was only in her early 20s, but her life already couldn’t be worse.
After he finished his cigarette, Waylen told Mavis, “Go to Heron. I’ll have someone arrange everything for you. Consider your housing and hospitalization needs when you have your baby taken care of. I only have one condition. Leave Duefron and never come back. I don’t want you crossing paths with me or my family ever again, especially Rena.”
With that, Waylen handed Mavis a business card and got back into his car.
The card he gave her was his trusted assistant’s.
Mavis said in a broken voice, “Okay. I promise I will disappear and never show up again.”
Waylen gunned his engine and slowly drove away.
Mavis held onto the business card tightly, as if she had just caught a life-saving straw.
Waylen didn’t go home. He drove to Bahraou, a well-known cemetery in Duefron. All the urns in there were unclaimed by family or loved ones.
Elvira’s ashes were there.
It was late at night. Waylen wasn’t supposed to get in, but he gave the gatekeeper two packs of fine cigarettes, and the gatekeeper gave him access.
It wasn’t the first time that he came here. He soon found the urn containing Elvira’s ashes.
