Chapter 11: The Hidden Truth

To some extent, Lucas had expected, but Clovis was too direct. He thought that, given Clovis’s nature, he would subtly ask for his departure, who would say that he would simply be so direct? Maybe Lucas wasi a little wrong judging him, at least he knows how to be straightforward when he needs to be. When Lucas planned to respond, May intervened.

“Aren’t you being too impatient? Can’t you wait a while? I wanted to entertain Lucas a little more.”

“No problem, May, I know you need to talk something serious, I won’t get in the way. It was nice to meet you. You too, Jonas, Clovis.”

Lucas then said goodbye and left the apartment.

‘Master, why didn’t you push a little? Maybe you could have stayed. ‘

‘No, if I stayed too much, it would be May who would send me out. They seem to want to discuss something important, and obviously they don’t want me to know what it’s about. ‘

‘But and now? Thus the mission will fail.’

‘It will not fail, the mission specified dinner, right? Dinner is already over. It can also be said that I helped May, since judging by the situation, they would have talked during the meal, and probably would not be beneficial to May.’

‘ Why?’

‘Didn’t you see Clovis’s casual attitude? His plan was to argue while he ate, always speaking in a casual tone, as if it were not so important, as if he were not so interested. Dinner was just an excuse, something for him to do while discussing with May. If it wasn’t for dinner, he’d go to her house just to discuss, and it would be kind of obvious he’s interested in discussing with her. ‘

‘I don’t know what the discussion is, what the subject is, but from what I’ve observed, the two plan to discuss something important, and Clovis is in an advantageous position in that discussion. May had to call her brother to feel safe around him, which shows that Clovis is dangerous. ‘

‘So you can tell he is in full advantage, and he plans to use this apparent indifference to show that he is not so interested in the discussion, while waiting for her to play some better card to capture his attention, he wants to profit from the situation. Fortunately, I was there. With me there, Clovis couldn’t use this strategy, and not only that, May was still talking to me all the time, ignoring Clovis completely, that was her attack on Clovis’s indifference, she was expecting him to get impatient, and that’s what It happened when he told me to leave.’

‘She’s very smart, and seems to understand a lot about psychological warfare. Master, she is a great choice to become your wife. You need to think of a way to approach her.’

‘I got something today, she offered me work at her firm. If I really get this job, I’ll have three months of interaction with her at the firm. Plus the fact that we live next to each other, I’m sure I’ll be able to get closer. The problem is how to make her see me as a man. It became very obvious today that she sees me as a child. I can’t leave things like this for long.’

‘Master, how about listening to the conversation between the three? Seems like an important discussion, may end up revealing more information about Maylin. Because of the importance they gave to the discussion, it may end up becoming the key to conquering her. ‘

‘Truth.’

Quickly entering his apartment, Lucas opened the balcony door and looked into the dark sky. While feeling the cool breeze, he began to walk toward the other side of the balcony, where there was a wall that separated the balcony of his apartment from the balcony of May’s.

He first looked to see if no one was looking around, and finally, holding the iron bar, hung himself on the balcony. Using a few movements, he gripped May’s balcony railing and finally entered her apartment.

Taking care not to be noticed, he used his recent memory of the apartment to be careful not to be noticed and entered the apartment. Going through a door, he was in May’s room.

It was a normal and simple room, not many things. The only thing noteworthy were the panties and bras that were strewn about the room. Lucas didn’t pay much attention to it, and simply considered leaving the room. Unfortunately, the room was locked.

‘Of course she would lock the door, she invited a wolf to her house, must have been afraid of him going into her room and doing something. Not that it was enough to protect her, but it’s not a bad thought either, she’s cautious.’

‘Master, you find more and more good points about her. Did you know that you are in the early stages of love?’

‘Love in the early stages?’

‘No, it’s just a way of speaking. Basically, you are analyzing the person, and finding good points. It is your reasoning looking for things to love in the person. The fact that you are the future God of Love seems to be making you think very logically. Remember, love is also about emotions. ‘

‘I know, and I don’t have to think much about it. Did you see that woman? My God, I swear I didn’t see any hotter women. She is tall, has an erotic body, is beautiful, intelligent, graceful, virtuous ... What a woman. ‘

‘I know, I’m also surprised you found someone like that right away. The Touch of Fate did a great job. ‘

‘If this ability keeps sending me women like that, I don’t know what to do. One May is enough to keep me busy. Is this skill powerful at this point? If so, I’m screwed. ‘

‘Master, you’re still inexperienced in the game of love, you don’t have to be impatient. You have many opportunities with May, will happen eventually. Whether this will keep happening, I don’t think so. Hope not. I also prefer that you focus on one or two women at most. Your greatest luck, of course, was the marriage contract with Rose. If it weren’t for that, you would have to split your attention between May and Rose, it would be problematic.’

‘Let’s do things slowly.’

‘I’m glad you have that mindset, Master, let’s not hurry.’

Lucas took his pocketknife and began to use it to open the door. For the first time, this switchblade is showing its usefulness. It is a swiss army knife, has several functions. From opening beer and wine bottles, to opening doors, it’s very useful.

Lucas opened the door in a matter of seconds, and left the room, finding himself in a short hallway. Exiting the hallway, he faced the kitchen, and hid right there. From the kitchen, its possible to easily hear the dining table in the living room.

“Amy was born with a special ability, she’s just a burden to someone like you. Why do you insist on being with her so much? She is not even your daughter. You must have done the DNA test, right?”

“Though not my daughter, she is still the daughter of my younger brother, my niece. I can’t just give her up like that.”

“But I’m her mother, that’s all that matters.”

“You’re a paper mom, do you really think i don’t know the secret of both of you?”

May seemed to be having a hard time, as she simply fell silent on hearing these words.

“Maylin, do you think I don’t know? I know everything. You ... are infertile, right?”

“...”

May didn’t seem to know how to respond, and for seconds it was possible to “hear” the smug smile on Clovis’s face. Lucas had no vision of the room as it was very risky, but that was what he felt; Clovis had the situation under control.

“Maylin, I’m really surprised that you let your reputation be tarnished to hide it all. At first, I didn’t notice anything strange, but it was your little brother here, Jonas, who gave me the hint.”

“The overflowing hatred I felt whenever he saw me ... It made me suspicious, and after making an investigation, I discovered your infertility, and over time, a fact unknown to me: Amy is actually the daughter of Sofia, right?”

May was silent, she wanted to know how much Clovis knows. By this point in the explanation, she was scared, since he knows a lot.

“When I found this out, some things came together, and with a little more investigation, I found out the whole story.”

“That night, it wasn’t you I fucked, it was Sofia, right? I always thought it was you. After that, Sofia went into depression, then my brother Brandon went into the equation and appeased her. The two started dating not long after, and then moved quickly.”

“According to the information I got, Sofia was pregnant with Amy, but in the end she died after giving birth. That’s when you showed up. For your niece’s sake, you decided to take care of her with Brandon. Because of that, I thought you two had a child, I even thought it might be mine, since the dates coincided too much. In the end, Amy was born with a special ability.”

“In the midst of all this, Brandon mysteriously died...”

“Mysteriously?”

Maylin answered coldly, but said nothing more.

“I’m really surprised, you accepted the burden not only of the child, but also of the weight of being an adulteress. After all, it looks like you had a son with Brandon around the same time he was dating your sister.”

“And yet, you accepted everything. Your relatives, who didn’t know about the situation since Sofia kept you from telling about that night, called you an adulteress, profaned you with countless ugly words, and yet you held your ground. I am honestly impressed.”

While listening to everything, May was clenching her fists tightly. Hearing all this from this man’s mouth was really repulsive.

Two years ago she met Clovis at a party. She was a novice lawyer, and he the heir to a real estate business. Normally, although there was a connection, she would have no reason to approach him, and Clovis would have no reason to approach her either.
