Maximus did not know what was happening with her little sister, but he chose to listen to her.
When Sarah gets really mad it means that someone is wrong, so he needs to listen to her.
Maximus stood up straight and fixed his clothes. He sat at his favorite chair and faced her sister. He is ready to listen. Shawn did the same, he sat on the couch and became serious.
“Brother, why are you avoiding her? Are you mad at her?” When Sarah started talking about Luna, Maximus clenched his fist.
A while ago before Sarah got inside his office, Shawn arrived first to confront him and told him that if he did not take care of Luna, he would take her from him. It made Maximus mad and started to talk about what he saw at the hospital.
“You want her? Take her then. I do not care” Maximus said without thinking properly.
“What did you say?!” Shawn got pissed because of what Maximus said. How can he say that? Instead of giving her away, he should fight for her, right?
When he is about to punch Maximus that is the time when Sarah arrived.
“What do you want?” He asked with his cold voice. He is turning to his old self again.
“Your wife needs you. If you did not save her you might lose both of them” Sarah said. Tears started to fall from her eyes.
“What are you talking about, Sarah?” Maximus asked, confused. He is about to lose his patience.
Sarah pulled out Luna’s phone and the pregnancy test result from her bag and put it above the table in front of him.
“She is pregnant and right now, someone is going to kill her,” Sarah said.
Maximus grabbed Luna’s phone and froze when he read Luna’s reply to the message.
“Please do not hurt him. I love him.”
The moment he read the last three words of Luna’s message, he felt like his world had stopped. The sounds from his surroundings were gone except his heartbeat.
What the hell are you doing, Maximus? He suddenly asked himself.
“Have you forgotten your promise to her? You promise to never make her cry, but you did not keep your promise, brother. She always cries at night before she goes to sleep, she always makes her pillow wet. She is thinking that it is her fault that you never went home. Are you a man? If you are then act like a man!” Sarah said knocking some sense to his brother.
Maximus did not move. Something made him remember everything he said to his wife before Luna entrusted her heart to him. He promised before that if Luna marries him, he will dote her for the rest of her life. She will never suffer nor make her feel that she is worthless. He realized that he broke his promise to her. He did not even listen to her explanation.
He ran away. After all, he thought that that is okay because he is the man. After that, when he goes home, everything will be back to normal but he is wrong. He was just running away from his responsibility and letting his wife suffer alone. He made her cry again. He is no different from Shawn.
Damn! I am such an idiot! Maximus thought as he stood up and his first landed on the wall. Making his knuckles bleed. Sarah walked towards her brother to look at his hands. She suddenly felt worried about his brother. Her brother is really crazy. She does not understand him at all.
“Sarah, I need to go,” Maximus said when he calmed down.
“But your hand is bleeding. Stop the bleeding first” She said as she followed her brother outside the office.
Shawn in deep thought was left inside the office. He was thinking about the whole situation. He thought that Liza was right. He is the main reason why Luna was suffering again. He forgot about her and said mean words to her. Luna begs him every day, asking him to come back to her. Now that the situation turned around, he is now the one who is running towards Luna. He is now the one begging for her love and attention while Luna kept on ignoring and pushing him away.
Shawn pulled his hair because of their situation. He realized that he should stop bothering Luna anymore or else she will suffer. Maybe if he stops bothering Luna, Liza will do the same. Luna might find the true happiness she was asking for him before, but he knows that he cannot give it to him anymore since she was already loving someone better than him. She successfully found the right man for her, but he was taking it away for her.
Will she forgive me if I ask for forgiveness? He thought.
After thinking for several minutes, he stood up from sitting on the couch and walked out of Maximus’s office. He has decided. He will help Maximus and Luna. He will bring the smile he took away from Luna and by doing that he needs to deal with Liza.
He saw Sarah and her brother running towards the black car that was parked beside his car. He runs towards them.
“Get inside my car,” Shawn said to them. The two stopped from coming inside the black car and turned their heads to him.
“No need,” Maximus said, ignoring his kind offer.
“My car is faster than your car,” He said.
Sarah rolled her eyes. Now is not the time to start a fight so she quickly grabs his brother’s hand and pulls him inside Shawn’s car.
“What are you doing?” Maximus asked his sister with a confused face.
“There is no time. We need to save Luna and your baby, so deal with your pride” Sarah said and went inside the car.
Shawn started the engine and drove the car like a professional racer. He is faster than Sarah. The siblings at the back were holding their breath because of Shawn.
“Hey, make sure that we will make it safely,” Sarah said. She felt nervous because of Shawn.
“Do not worry, I am good at driving sports cars in the street like this. By the way, I will deal with Liza and you two save Luna” he said.
“My men already tracked down the location of Liza. She used a different number just to lure my wife. I cannot believe that she really has the guts to go against me” Maximus said.
“I am sorry, it is my fault” Shawn suddenly said after what Maximus said.
