Maya stood just outside Jack's door, waiting for Cindy to arrive. Cindy ignored Maya the moment she saw her and wanted to proceed further but Maya stretched her arms wide and blocked Cindy's way.Cindy stared at her haggard look and shook her head before pushing her arm out of the way. However, as she took another step, Maya stretched out her leg and blocked Cindy, causing her to lose her balance and almost fall.She lightly hit her head on the wall as well as her palms which she used to lessen the impact. She turned angrily and stared at Maya while Maya smiled evily at her.Cindy slapped Maya so hard that she fell on the floor while Maya cried and said, "I'm sorry but it wasn't Jack's fault." Before Cindy could comprehend what Maya was saying, she was held by the shoulders and her body was shaken violently.Jack was in his office wondering about what Maya wanted to tell Cindy when he heard someone slap the wall fiercely with their palm. He stood up from his chair and went out to see

Jack drove back to his office defeatedly. He thought about what Cindy had said about the bump on her forehead. Could Maya have really done that? Cindy wouldn't be so upset if she was lying to him. He had clearly heard the sound of her palms on the wall and Maya had said she deliberately did that. But just like she said, Cindy wasn't deranged. There was no way she would hurt herself just to discredit Maya. He suddenly recalled the recording Maya had played for him and realized that he couldn't really predict what Cindy was capable of.He couldn't help but agree though that his problems with Cindy all began when Maya came back into his life. If he could send Maya away from his side, his relationship with Cindy would blossom beautiful but that would be utterly selfish of him.He wanted to do the honourable thing and stand by Maya at a time like this but why did his relationship with Cindy have to suffer due to that?He decided to bury himself into his work to ease the tightness he was

Cindy decided to knock on the door and find out the truth. She realized the door was open just before she knocked. Jack had actually closed the door when he entered the house but Maya had quickly opened it when he went to the kitchen to get the cup for her.Cindy pushed open the door and went inside. The first thing that caught her eyes was the rope that hung from the ceiling. She ignored it and looked at the couple in each other's arms.She opened her eyes in shock when she saw that it was Jack and Maya. Jack raised his head almost immediately and saw Cindy standing by the door with tears falling from her eyes. He jumped up immediately and tried to reach her but Cindy closed the door and walked away.When Cindy had closed the door, Maya exclaimed, "oh my God! Was that Cindy? But how did she know you were here? Was she following you around. I'm afraid now she will draw the wrong conclusions.Jack ignored Maya completely. He looked around for his phone and picked it up, ran to the mac

Cindy sat back sadly on the bed when she recalled what happened in the morning. Even though Jack was being set up just now, it didn't change the fact that he had disrespected her and broken his promise to her.Seeing that Cindy was still silent, Jack continued to beg, "please baby. I am on my knees and I will spend the whole night here begging you, if I have to. Please open the door Cindy."Cindy thought about Maya. She must be jubilating right now because her plans finally became successful. Jack kept pleading for her to open the door and when she heard him say he was on his knees, Cindy's heart broke even more.Jack went on his knees and leaned his head on the door. He felt really exhausted especially due to the wet underwear he still had on. He already knew that Cindy was a very stubborn girl yet he went ahead and fell in love with her. This was the price he was paying for that decision.Jack was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't hear Cindy unlock the door. She pulled the

Cindy took one of the pillows and threw it at Jack. I'm not ready for that yet so you had better not try it besides, I don't subscribe to having children outside wedlock.Jack enveloped Cindy in a hug, "of course my love, everything will take place at the right time. Don't be too serious, I'm just messing with you."Jack noticed that Cindy was now staring at her books on the floor and stood up immediately to pick them up but Cindy stopped him. "It's fine Jack, leave it to me."Cindy bent down and began picking up the books while Jack's stomach made a grumbling sound. Cindy turned to look at him and he kept a pitiful face.She smiled and said, "okay, I will whip up dinner for us right away because I'm also hungry.They both went to the kitchen together and Jack leaned on one side of the counter as he watched Cindy make their dinner. As he stared at her, he felt really happy. He couldn't believe he had almost lost her because of his foolishness.Even while he was consoling Maya, he had
