CHAPTER TWENTY
I sat on the sofa and continued crying while drinking wine. Fuck Blaze, he should be on my side because we’re friends and then he shooing me? Instead of telling Margot to come with me and negotiate, he agreed that Margot will stay with them.
Then what is he doing in Margot’s room? Why did he hang out there when Margot came out? Is there any secret between —- impossible, even if he was stupid, I knew he couldn’t cheat on Maggie. But still, fuck him. The door opened so I looked up. Zeus carrying a plastic bag.
“What are you doing here?” I asked then adjusted myself.
“I sympathize with you because we’re both single.”
“Silly.” He took out the wine and food.
“Blaze said you came from them and didn’t get anything. The two can’t help you because they have already families so I’m the only one who came.”
“I don’t need sympathy.”
“Tell that to the turtle.” He gives me a glass of wine. “Don’t be ashamed of me, Jace.”
“Tss!”
“You go in Blaze house, right? Did you notice anything strange there?”
“What’s strange?” I ask.
“‘Fuck.”
“Strange about what?”
“Around, in the gesture of people!” He said with a bit of force and the idiot was obviously hiding something.
“I didn’t notice anything, other than Blaze wasting money for Joker on two cribs and two strollers then two more babysitters.”
“‘Fuck, you are really slow.”
“What?”
“Nothing you motherfucker, I wish I was just bedded woman instead of talking to you,” he complained.
“Nobody told you to come here.”
“I don’t have any women to sex today so I just went to you.”
“Look for BCC because I don’t want to have sex with you.”
“You’re crazy, if it’s just your asshole, I’ll just cut my cocky.” Fuck this. If maybe in another situation I might have laughed because of what he called to his pet.
“Margot doesn’t want me anymore.” It’s really silly but I’m crying again.
“You don’t like her either, do you? You said you were forced to just because you got her pregnant and you also plan to divorce her when she gives birth.”
“You’re talking nonsense, get out of here.”
“Why, you really said that.”
“Yeah, but I just want to annoy Maggie.” I leaned back on the sofa. “I didn’t really intend to say that, I was just picking on Maggie.”
“What do you mean?”
“Margot has been special to me ever since. It’s just a coincidence that Brianna came and my conscience came back to me for what I did so I took her again to cheer her up. I thought I could at least make up for what I did to her.” He laughed out loud because of what I said. “Stupid what’s funny?”
“Finally, you’ve realized that too.”
“What?” I frowned because he was talking stupidly.
“It’s stupid to fall in love, isn’t it? Phoenix, Blaze, and You? You don’t become aware of your actions while the people around you already know how you really feel. They say actions speak louder than words.”
“When you fall in love you’re stupid, I’ll laugh at you too.”
“You said so.” He nodded again and handed me a wine. “You know, Jace, we know that Margot is important to you. Brother’s Code, won’t gamble with the woman if we’re not sure. That’s why when you said that annulment, we don’t believe in that. Because you yourself are not sure especially if one doesn’t want to.”
“But she filed the annulment today.”
“Will you sign?”
“No, am I stupid?”
“You just have to, you’ll lose your family when you do that.”
“I was also restricted to 20meters away. l am banned from her company.”
“Don’t tell me that now you are afraid to break the law?” I stared at him because of what he said.
“Are you saying I’m a lawbreaker?”
“Isn’t it? Since elementary you’ve been the most stubborn, disobedient, and ass of us. Now that love you’re going to fight for, you’re afraid to break the law? Funny.” Oh well, he’s right. What law is that and I don’t know that?
“You know, you’re right sometimes too, Zeus.”
“Often, sucker.”
“Apply that when you fall in love, huh?”
“In your wet dreams. It will never happen.”
“Really? Let’s see then.”
It was early in the morning when we finished drinking. He didn’t go home either and here he spent the morning. When I woke up he was still sound asleep on the sofa so I just let. I won’t wake him up and I don’t care if he can’t go for work.
I just took a shower and when I came out Zeus was still sound asleep. I left him lying on the sofa. I took his car key and replaced mine. I returned the one I used yesterday to my cousin. I’m not going to go to work because I have no plans to go. I’m going to take Margot to their house because Blaze isn’t there right now. If it is necessary for me to pick her up and bring her home forcibly I will.
I was at the gate of the subdivision when the car I was carrying was blocked. I was forced to stop and lower the window.

“Ah, sir, just checking.”
“I’m in a hurry.” But the guard did not answer and someone looked at the cell phone and then looked at me.
“Sir, can I ask for an ID?”
“What nonsense is this?” They didn’t ask for ID before.
“We need to check for something.” I handed my license to him. “Ah sir, you can’t come in. You’re banned here.”
“What?”
“Mr. Gonzales is banning you. You are not allowed here in the subdivision.” What the fuck is Blaze thinking?
“And who said I’m going to their house? I have a client here and our meeting is important. Are they the only ones from here? My meeting is important and I’m late so let me pass.” I hope I can get through.
“Ah, what’s the name of your meeting, sir? So we can confirm.” Son of a—-
“Are you gossiping? If I don’t get the deal now, you’ll pay.”
“Mr. Gonzales said, he will take care of the damage just in case.”
“Get out there and I’ll backing up. Your subdivision is ugly. And you —- I’m going to sue you for harassment.”
“I’m sorry, sir.”
“I’m sorry your face.” You’re really are an animal.
I have no plans to go to work. But because of what Blaze did I ended up in the office. His secretary said he was in Phoenix’s office so I went straight there. I slammed the door to shut when I entered.
“You idiot, Blaze, why did you ban me from your subdivision?”
“You’re annoying.”
“Hey, easy, dumbass.”
“What’s easy, Phoenix? That idiot banned me.”
“I told you, don’t bother Margot first. Then all of a sudden you’ll show up. You’ve already seen that she’s not ok, you’re going to consume more?”
“That is why I want to take it so I can take care of her. Then you banned me?”
“There’s nothing you can do. I’ve banned you.”
“Jace, let Margot heal.”
“Coming from you who was afraid of losing Hailey so when she went to the hacienda and filed an annulment. You’re too, you must have understood me too.”
“I understand you, been there and done that. But in our case, no one was physically hurt while yours was —-”
“Stop and I’m just crying to think that my two umami are gone because of my stupidity.” Then I turned away and went out.
“Jace?” I ignored Dane but she blocked me. “Hey, are you ok?” I wiped my tears before looking at her.
“Yes, Dane, I’m fine. I’m fine that my child is gone and my wife will be gone as well. I’m fine that my life is ruined, my family is ruined and you, my friends are gone instead. I’m fine, Dane, and I accept that I’m guilty of everything, and I’m all wrong. It’s okay for me to be alone now.”
“Jace, I’m sorry.”
“It’s my karma, Dane and I’m not asking you to symphatised with me. But I hope you don’t make my pain worse. I made a mistake and I deserve it but I am also a person who even slow, easy go lucky, selfish, and immature but also hurt. Especially since you always make me face my mistakes. I lost a child because of my stupidity and I have the right to be hurt.” I handed her the key to Zeus’ car. “Please give it to Zeus.” Then I walked away.
“Jace.”
“Don’t follow me.”
“Jace!”
Fuck this life.
