" Won't you come to the company today?" Edward James asked Maria who was not yet dressed. It's been two days after he took her to the company's factory and she was to resume work today but she wasn't dressed.
"I'd prefer working from home" Maria told him but he felt unexpectedly pleased with the word 'Home' in his heart. "Hmm_ if you get bord ask one of the security to bring you to the company or somewhere else" Edward James told her as he picks up his work bag before stepping out.
An hour later Maria Moore got dressed and was about walking out of the James Mansion when a security stopped her.
"Ma'am the car is ready, am your chauffeur" said the security.
"Alright then give me the keys" Maria Moore told him but he refused.
"Why?_ would you be releaved of your duties if I don't let you come with me" Maria Moore asked but the security neither agreed nor denied, Maria Moore smiled inwardly but got in the car.
Main while Edward James who has been busy all morning received a call
"Yes, speak" he said into the phone.
"Ms Maria went to visit her daughter's grave, she spent two hours there before heading to the station" the caller said but Edward James stood up from his seat wondering why Maria Moore went to the station.
"What else?" Edward James asked
"She went to see Cent Clark and she's yet to come out" at the mention of Cent Clark, his mood took a 360 degree turn becoming a dark furnace.
"How long has she been there" Edward James asked.
"Thirty minutes boss"
"What are you all still waiting for to get her out?" Edward James asked in a more cold voice.
Back in the station Cent Clark wh has now become a shadow of himself was thunder struck by the person he never imagined to see again but here she was seated before him in flesh and blood.
"Please tell me it's really you my love please_ you're alive, you're truly alive" Cent Clark said filled with hopes that Maria Moore has come to visit him and also to bail him out of the hell he was in.
"Yes am alive and well Cent Clark_ how have you been?" She asked
"Am miserable my love please take me out already_ did you bring food? I've missed your cooking truly, please I need to get out of here" Cent Clark told her but Maria Moore chuckled at him too which surprised him.
"You seem to have forgotten the reason you're here Cent Clark; it's no trouble anyway I can refresh your mind" she paused then continued " you Cent Clark abused my children and one was unfortunate to see the light of the world before you killed him, and the one who made it you, abused her by flogging her till she lost her strength and died. Cent Clark I'll be an imported premature fool to let you out of jail". She told him locking eyes with him but Cent Clark wasn't ready to give up yet.
"We love each other Maria, you can't turn your back on me now please get me out of here" he acted like he was loosing his mind or rather going crazy but Maria saw through his schemes.
