New Life

Mysteriously

In the back seat of a black BMW, Maxilian sat quietly with no one to speak. The car drove through the streets of Las Vgas this afternoon just after his office hours. Tomas who was driving seemed silent after seeing the cold face of his young master. The quiet and cold atmosphere created around made Tomas a little depressed.

"This afternoon, the lady did a body treatment that was delayed two weeks ago, sir." The opening story of Tomas serves to melt the atmosphere. He glanced at his young master's flat expression from behind the glass above his head.

Maxilian looked unperturbed. As if the news Tomas gave him wasn't important to him. But even so, her tightly clenched lips finally opened and let out a voice, "This morning,"

"Miss went to the police station to see her cousin in connection with the stabbing case that dragged her name."

Maxilian's gaze shifted. His memory revolves around the events of a few days ago. Where he saw a pretty handsome man defending Julia desperately. "That guy,"

"His name is Benjamin Casson. The only son of a doctor named Samuel Casson. They're the sisters of Miss Julia's late mother."

"What are they talking about?" Maxilian asked inquisitive."

"Miss just told me that miss won't help Mr. Benjamin."

"Is he not thinking of getting his brother out of prison?"

"I saw a talented young lawyer from the William family many times trying to meet Miss Julia."

Maxilian's memory is drawn to a handsome man inside the bar who defends Julia desperately, and the man meets Julia in the hospital. That guy, does he realize he's offering his wife some help? Or do they have other business? Given how he cared so much about his wife, somehow his heart cooled down.

"Master," call Tomas softly for seeing Maxilian silent. "Will master help miss to release her cousin?"

Hearing a question from Tomas, Maxilian's interest suddenly dropped. "No, why should I take her cousin out?" his eyes fell in indifference. Take out Julia's cousin? What'd he do it for? Why should he interfere if someone else would always care about his wife? At least he wants to be safe for the next three months in the period of their contract marriage.

Tomas did not answer and chose to hand over some papers. "Sir, I saw Miss throwing this paper in the trash."

Maxilian received the crumpled paper from Tomas' hand. Open it and just look at a few hand pictures with different names. "What's this?"

Though unsure, Tomas tries to explain. "All the names written there are people who have come into contact with the miss of recent years. But it's a little weird."

Maxilian looked up, looked straight at Tomas back and looked back at the paper in his hand. Sely, Janet, Jordan, Hendri. This name is written on the picture on the left. Then the right side, there are only pictures of some people without names.

"What happened to Sely?" maxilian asked, beginning to suspect.

"That" said Tomas hesitantly. He glanced at his young master and looked back straight at the road ahead. "He's nuts. Miss sees him every day. At least twenty-five minutes or so."

"What was he doing there that long?"

"Miss just kept silent to see Miss Sely who kept shouting and thrashing."

"Is his condition improving?"

Tomas frowned. As long as she escorts Julia to visit Sely, she can also see that Sely's condition continues to get worse with each passing day. She is convinced that she has done her best for Sely's recovery because Julia asked for it. But strangely Sely's condition is not improving, but getting worse.

"Miss Sely, things are getting worse with each passing day."

Maxilian's hands did not move from his place when he heard Tomas' words. But he saw clearly the picture that Tomas gave, the cartoon face image with the name Sely had he scribbled. Does that mean his contract wife has something she doesn't know? The more he thinks the more he wants to know.

"Miss looks calm as always. He didn't do much other than see Miss Sely who was hysterical."

"Examine this further. Get anything and report it to me."

"I understand sir."

What about our stake in Brasco?"

"Miss asks that he handle this himself. Ms Janet's prosecution was also delayed and ultimately failed. That's because the evidence that Miss Julia has is less robust. Then the lady also holds a wedding invitation from Miss Janet."

"What is he planning?" maxilian muttered softly.

"I think you should be there too. The state of Brasco's company is deteriorating because Miss is withdrawing our entire investment there. Several times Mr. Hendri came to the main house to try to meet with the lady. Even so the lady still did not come out and let her uncle kneel for an hour. At that time the master and the great madam were there. But they also let Mr. Hendri kneel."

"Oh, really? What reason did Julia tell grandparents until they let a guest kneel?"

Hearing that Tomas laughed. "Miss says that Mr. Hendri is a bad uncle. Who does not want the lady to marry the master. Miss made up the story that the marriage of master and miss did not get blessing because the uncle lady does not know who the master is."

Maxilian silence. She measures how important Julia is in the eyes of her grandparents and connects them all. Although it sounded exaggerated but he did not expect that his wife was using his name many times as an excuse. Of course, his grandparents would be angry if they found out that they had no blessing. And what will happen next he already knows.

Maxilian pulled one corner of his lips involuntarily. He did not expect that Julia was very smart in stepping. The girl looked innocent, yet the real one did not look right. There are many mysteries about him. A lot of things are stored inside him. And he has to be more vigilant or he'll end up being taken advantage of to create the situation that Julia wants.

"Sir, we've arrived." said Tomas, turning off his car.

maxilian came down and saw the body outside the building. He approached and Tomas followed behind. Seeing Maxilian's sudden arrival, Jeni looked down respectfully.

"Sir." said Jeni politely.

"Where is your young lady?"

Jeni stared at the closed building door and lowered her head again. "Miss is still doing treatment."

"Tell him, I'm waiting for him."

Jeni obediently lowered her head for a moment and stepped up but then Maxilian's voice sounded again.

I'll find him myself. You can go with Tomas now."

Maxilian's steps looked steady as he entered the building's door. He was welcomed and delivered to the room where Julia was. Opening the door, Maxilian's sense of smell was greeted with a soothing, gentle scent. He stepped carefully and saw Julia's body being face down with the body wrapped in a mask. His golden brown hair looks high bound and features a white and smooth neck skin.

Maxilian walked very slowly.His eyes locked onto Julia's closed face. The room has two benches for relaxing and one treatment area. Decorated flowers that have not bloomed with cool and fresh air that makes the mind calm. He chose to sit on one of the benches and crossed his legs and leaned back slowly.

His handsome and calm figure was able to anesthetize every ornament in the room. From behind her cold brown eyes, she had a million atrocities that were never revealed. Her lentic fingers fell against her head, with her lips tightly clenched. Maxilian, waiting for the sleeping girl to wake up.

There are many things he thinks. Especially about the memories of her and Julia. Unknowingly groped his chest slowly. She doesn't understand why she can get out of control just because of the one light touch Julia puts on her. Is it because he hasn't touched a woman for too long? Or because Julia had managed to tease him?

The thinking that kept spinning could not find the answer. Since the light touch in the hospital back then, she had to try desperately to avoid touching Julia again. His hands sometimes involuntarily clasped the woman's body into his arms. Or when he sees Julia's lips slightly open when she sleeps. He wants to suck it. Even today, when he saw Julia's white and smooth neckline, he was eager to bite her to leave a trace of her possession. From all that, he realized that sometimes he could not control himself. His passions, his desires, and his satisfaction.
