Francis ignored the looks he knew he was finished but if he is finished he will finish this girl too saying he looked at Rachel who was about to be taken out…
Francis pushed Myra to the side and said 'Don't waste more time if not on screen you have it in your phone show it'
Hearing it the mind which was blocked by the shock suddenly came back and she took out her phone and doing a few things she said 'Aunt you won't believe na see this'
Olivia said 'I don't want to see anymo….'
She was still saying it and Rachel placed the phone in front of her eyes and Olivia's eyes went wide seeing Maria intimate with another man which was none other than Matthew long.
Seeing Olivia stunned Rachel stopped the guards and seeing the boss shocked even when they stopped, Francis smiled and looked at Aaron who was standing back…
Aaron looked at Olivia whose expressions were changing…
He didn't even have Any contact with Arthur since that night he was afraid of what is gonna happen now…
Maria was looking at Olivia and as they were facing their backs to her she saw the pic too and her worst nightmare came back…
The picture that once almost ruined her but she was saved by him but today she has no hopes, the word SIN still going round and round in her mind….
Olivia was fuming in anger now she thought she was a good girl and always went against Rachel to protect her but this is what she is ?
Rachel looked at Olivia's anger and she knew she got her, she looked at Maria with a winning smile and went near her…
Rachel said ' Now you are free from hiding the filthy girl you are' she saw Maria was still calm not responding and her blood boiled she raised her hand and slapped her…
The marks of her fingers were printed on her face, and her lips bled a little…..
Seeing her in pain Rachel felt relieved. She waited so long for his moment…
Rachel looked at Olivia and others and said 'Aunt I have been saying you all since the first day she just acts like an angel but ain't one'
Everyone was confused as to what had happened…
Myra went to the stage and pushed Rachel and said ' how dare you touch her, don't you know who she is?'
Rachel laughed and said ' Who is she? A girl who had an Affair which is Sin'
Myra said ' And what proof do you have for it'
As soon as she ends Rachel showed her the picture and Myra said ' It can be fabricated '
Saying she looked at Olivia And said ' You have been living with this child for a long and you don't believe her?'
Olivia looked at Maria who was silent and said ' you can't even ignore everything that's happening right?'
Hearing it Myra was shocked, and people though didn't see the pic but now we're thinking that Maria is bad….
Myra says ' What are you saying, you believe them? One who doesn't care about a girl being a girl And one who already ate my daughter which you have seen just now you should know who the real filthy people are'
Aaron who has walked in front and said ' trusting them is like trusting a snake, which you know one day for sure will bite u you back'
Hearing it everyone was stunned and there were voices in the crowd 'it's the son of Francis Long, he himself is against His father…'
Olivia looked at him and said ' How do you know Maria?'
Aaron said ' I'm her friend'
Olivia had a sarcastic chuckle and said 'Ya a friend' and then she looked at Maria and went near her and said ' Wasn't Arthur enough for you that you made friends outside?'
Hearing it Maria was shocked to the core, she opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by Olivia ' My son Arthur doesn't deserve a girl like you, who has no character and before I do something bad to you in anger run from here as far as possible as if I caught you anywhere near my son I will end your life, from this moment we don't have anything To do with you!!!!'
The whole crowd was shocked, Rachel and Francis had winning smiles, Aaron looked at Maria who was standing alone, he felt so weak…
Myra went near Olivia and said ' What are you saying, you have no right. It will be decided by Arthur'
Olivia said ' it has already been decided by Arthur's mother…. Guards throw her out right away, I don't wanna see her even for a second'
As soon as she said 4 guards went towards Maria and Maria was just silent, she was grateful for Aaron and Myra but she knew when her own man Wasn't by her side, what she can expect from others, thinking she closed her eyes…
The guards were about to touch her…..
Rachel Francis was all smiling, Olivia was angry, Myra and Aaron felt bad and Aaron went forward to stop them but a cold voice made everyone shudder…
'"I WILL SEE WHO DARES TO TOUCH MY WIFE!!!!"'
Everyone was shocked and felt the terror it had in the voice…
Everyone turned to see Arthur walking towards them and the crowd was moving aside to give him the way….
Maria, hearing the voice suddenly opened her eyes and saw Arthur looking at her. Seeing him her eyes welled up with tears.
His words 'MY WIFE' were echoing in everyone's ears….
The guards immediately took several steps back….
Maria didn't hear anything, tears were rolling down her cheek and her nose was sour, finally, he was here….
Arthur walked all the way up and came and stood in front of her looking At her small red face both looking at each other….
Flashback…..
After Aaron heard the event from Francis' mouth, the next day when Francis was not in his room, Aaron secretly went into his room and searched his things but he didn't find anything and as he was leaving….
He saw Francis's laptop and he went and grabbed the laptop and opened it and he was going through the files and suddenly he saw a folder named Mathew's puppet.
He opened it and it had files and then he saw an image and when he opened it he was shocked to see the picture was the same that the detective showed him before he killed her…
He was shocked as to how he got it as he made sure the picture was discarded, indeed his father is evil…
He looked at the picture for some time and then nodded as if taking a decision and as he went out he took out his phone and called someone and he said to meet him….
After an hour….
Aaron was sitting in the shabby room. It was an old hotel which was bought by Arthur, in the memory of his first meeting with Maria…
After some time the door opened and Arthur came in and saw Aaron sitting a bit worried, he sat opposite to him and said ' What happened that you called me so urgently?'
Aaron looked at him and said 'Just wanted to tell you something which you should know'
Hearing his worried voice Arthur asked 'What is it?'
Aaron sighed and asked 'You once said you bought this place in memory of your first meeting with Maria right?'
Arthur nodded a smile appeared on his face, Aaron saw it and his heart calmed he said ' Just remember that'
Arthur was confused and Aaron said 'You must know that before you she had a lover '
Arthur still remembered the word Mathew from the bar and her cries…
Aaron looked at his thinking face and said 'It's regarding it something you should have or shouldn't I don't know but if not now it will be bad'
Arthur was angry due to all these theories he said ' just say it out'
Aaron then threw his phone at him and seeing the picture Arthur frowned…
Aaron said 'This is the thing My dad and Rachel were working to get against Maria'
Arthur didn't recognise Mathew and he said 'So what?'
Aaron said ' Its not the picture it's about the man'
Arthur looked at him, and Aarons said ' He is my uncle Mathew Long who is also Maria's father's friend …..' and Aaron told everything that happened between Maria and Mathew…
When Aaron ended the story and looked at Arthur who was all calm he couldn't get if he was okay or angry…
Aaron said 'She must have not got a chance to tell you or was afraid but she is a good girl you know it Arthur '
Arthur looked at him and asked in a calm voice ' When did you know ?'
Aaron then said about the detective…
Arthur nodded and stood up and was about to go Aaron said 'They going to release the picture on ur event night'
Arthur threw ' I don't care' 3 words and left the place
Aaron didn't know if what he did was correct or wrong but it was necessary…
Arthur as he left the room his blood boiled not on the point that she had a messy past but that even after his care she couldn't open up to him….
2 days passed and when he received the news of the fire in the plant he understood it was Francis and Rachel's plan to lure him out…
He left the office at home but didn't leave the city was living in a hotel, keeping an eye on everyone but didn't reply to Maria and anyone as he was a bit hurt due to her keeping it to herself and living in fear…
Flashback ends…….
Present….
Maria then bowed her head down…
Rachel on the side hearing the word wife was shocked she looked at Olivia and gestured to her…
Olivia looked at Arthur and said 'What did you mean by Wife Arthur? Are you still gonna marry her? You didn't see it I will show you'
Arthur said ' Not wanna marry mom, I have already married her, she is my lawful wife' saying Arthur's assistant gave the copy of his and Maria's marriage registration to her…
Maria who was bowing her head was shocked. She looked at Arthur who was looking at his mother. She once again fell for him. She lived in the shadows of the day when her past came out and never in her imagination did it went like this…
Looking at the registration Olivia Rachel and Francis were shocked…
Aaron laughed and said 'Smart son of a….'
Mary smiled and her hanging heart calmed. She was thankful that at least her 2nd daughter's home Wasn't destroyed…
Rachel stutters and said ' Hoo..ww th this possible, you caa can't do it'
Arthur smiled and suddenly he held Maria's waist pulling her close and bending down he kissed her softly…
Making everyone in the crowd scream in excitement, everyone was cheering for their boss and clapping…
Maria's eyes were wide in shock…
Olivia was shocked too seeing Arthur's aggressive affection…
He then broke the kiss Maria was all red from blushing and she didn't even lift her head making another uproar…
Arthur looked at Rachel and said ' like this, and Mom you I am a bit disappointed in you, you know how Maria is and you believed Rachels words don't you remember how she got a guy to seduce Maria and held her hostage and in the mall too?'
Everyone heard it and they started cursing Rachel and Francis for plotting against Maria. They all understood that everything they said and showed was fake, trying to rip Maria's character…
Then Arthur turned towards the staff, he held Maria's hand pulling her to stand beside him and said ' I apologize for the unfortunate incidents you have to see or endure and I wanna thank you all for being here for the Marcello group, Today I Marcello Arthur Introduce you all to my wife Maria Marcello'
As soon as he finished it everyone in the crowd screamed and all clapped they were all happy for them…
Investors and partners came forwards and were congratulating them but Maria's eyes were on her man she couldn't believe what was happening…
Tears once again came out of her eyes but this time it was of Happiness…
