His mum

"She is my wife and the other lady is my secretary, I do as I please with both. Drop the case officer."

Officer Rong looked at his chief and colleagues about what they thought. Chief Yu Chi nodded his head in approval of course he wants no problem with the Sebastian family.

"Okay if you insist but in case you found something, anything strange, call us." He said handing his business card over to the hotel manager.

The hotel manager collected the card with shaky hands, he quickly put it in his pocket.

"Take care, Mr. Sebastian." Officer Rong waved his hands and left, followed bewwwww FCy his colleagues.

After the policemen left, Sebastian slapped the hotel manager and everyone was shocked.

"I left just for a day and you couldn't put the hotel in order?, dimnit, I pay $500,000 for each room yet you allow this to happen? You moron!" He yelled at him pulling him by his collar.

The hotel manager went on his knees pleading, he faced the ground scared. "Please, forgive me. It won't repeat itself again."

"It better not," Jude said and made his way to his room leaving Maya behind he seemed to have forgotten about her.

"Jude," Maya called out running after him, Together they went into the elevator. Jude had a straight face throughout, he neither spoke to her nor looked at her. Maya felt unhappy, she wrapped her hands around him "Jude what's wrong?" She asked him looking at his face.

Jude's gaze was on the buttons in the elevator, he completely ignored her. Maya hugged him tightly, she suspected Jude was annoyed with her but she did nothing wrong.

Well, now it's not the time to be just, she has to apologize or Jude won't talk to her for the rest of their stay in Tokyo.

"I'm sorry." She told him, expecting him to say something but he remained quiet.

Ugh, what's wrong with this man? She thought.

"Okay, baby I didn't mean it, I'm sorry. I was stabbed and I... I..." She said shedding crocodile tears.

Jude was a bit moved by her tears, he looked at her in pity and cleaned her tears with his hand.

"I didn't know what I was thinking, I... Was hurt..." She stammered still crying and Jude shut her up with a kiss...

'Seems my acting is working 'She smiled inwardly.

"It's alright baby, but why? Why do you have to say that Liya stabbed you?" He asked with a frown. Maya fell to the ground holding the injured part. "I was hurt and the only person I could think of was Liya, beside, She said she was going to kill me before the light out."

Jude bend down to her "She said that?"

"Yes. Ask the waiter he was there, I'm pretty sure she was the one."

"You know we could have solved this at home while involving the authorities?"

"I didn't call them, they came to me and asked me some questions. That's all."

"Mmm"

Jude helped Maya up "How is your wound?" He asked worried.

Maya was skeptical. 'Why is he asking now like he really cared? now he remembered me? 'Her thoughts.

As if to read her mind, Jude whispered in her ear "I care about you, babe. I do, so how are you ?"

"I never knew you cared? you were on Liya...Liya... that you abandoned me in the hospital to free her. You treated me like a nobody even though I was the one stabbed. So outrageous!" She blurted out at him.

He sighed.

Pulled her close to him, looked deep into her eyes, and spoke with a soft voice "Baby I'm sorry. She is my wife. I have to save her reputation and my family's reputation. Remember, we have maintained a clean image to the public and I don't want anything staining that..."

"Or your mum will scold you?" Maya interrupted him upset.

"Because you are scared of your mum right?"

"No, listen, Imagine the press releasing news of Sebastian's new wife being arrested because she stabbed her husband's side chick. My good reputation will be done, I will be seen as a cheating, irresponsible husband. Society will hate and blame you for breaking a home while Liya will be tagged a criminal. Can you withstand all this?"

Maya took a step backward, hurt by the reality of what he said "But she is the intruder, she came in and broke our love. I was here all along before you decided to get married to her because of your mum!" She yelled at him with tears dropping.

"Now I have to live as a side chick? Huh, We loved each other before that woman came in."

Jude moved towards her pleading. "I'm sorry, I had no choice but to marry her, my mum..." Maya slapped him.

"You are unbelievable!" She said hitting his chest in pain, tears, and anger.

Just in the elevator beeped and opened.

"Give me time, I will fix it. I will divorce her and marry you." He held her hand.

Maya jerked her hand from his grip "Go meet your wife Mr. Sebastian." She said and left.

Jude wanted to go after her but he saw his wife, Liya waiting in front of her room door watching them. Maya paused. She wondered what stopped him from chasing after her like he normally does, she turned back and found him staring at his wife confused.

"So, she was what stopped him?" She smiled at him in pain and went into her room locking the door behind her to prevent him from coming back to beg.

Jude was confused as hell. To follow Maya or Liya?

Maya is so mad at him that she won't give him a chance to explain himself unlike Liya, the good girl who would tolerate anything.

He went to Liya "Hi" He said to her in a cold low tone.

"Get in." Liya rolled her eyes at him and went inside the hotel room.

"Hi? Hi is all you can say?" Liya shouted at him immediately after he came in.

"What were you expecting? Baby? darling or what?"

"You don't even bother about asking how I am or what really happened."

Jude laughed watching his wife as she paced the room in annoyance. "Funny you. Ask what? after what you made me do? After all, I had to go through to set you free? After the money I spent in bribing and that. You are so ungrateful." He took an apple fruit from the fruit bowl on the center table and sat on the sofa chewing the apple.

"I didn't do it," Liya said with all sincerity.

"Of course you didn't." Jude mocked her, speaking in her usually light voice shaking his head.

"Believe me."

"Listen, I didn't ask you to stab anybody. I know jealousy is uncontrollable but damn you stab someone! who does that?."

"This is all your fault," Liya responded pointing fingers at him. "If you didn't cheat, we wouldn't have fought and none of this would have happened."

Jude looked at her in an irritated way, he wanted to blast her and insult her but he remained calm.

"I know who did it," She said moving closer to him which brought his attention.

"You do?" He asked her.

"Yes. I didn't and I know who did."

"Hope you aren't blaming or framing someone else for your mistake?"

"Hell no. I wouldn't do that."

"Okay, tell me, who stabbed Maya?" Jude asked with complete interest.

"This will sound strange but I need you to trust me."

"Okay, so who?"

"Jude. I'm not lying okay, I'm really serious."

"Liya just say the person already." He said growing impatient.

"It's..." Liya said and paused watching his reaction.

"Is?"

"Hope you won't get mad."

"Just talk already!" Jude shouted at her annoyed which caused Liya to be shaken.

"It's your mum." She broke the ice.

Jude stood up immediately "What?"

"Your mum stabbed Maya." She said.
