Chapter 1237
Maja’s life hadn’t exactly been a walk in the park. She’d often found herself in dire straits, but rarely did she ever
utter these words of plea
The man’s eyes twitched slightly, but he remained otherwise unfazed, his expression a mix of curiosity and scrutiny
“So do you want to meet him, watch him sign the share transfer agreement, and see him fall from grace? You love
him, yet you’re willing to bring about his downfall?”
Maja fell silent, the man’s words hitting her where it hurt the most
The man reached out, steadying her by the arm
“Let me take you home. Maja With your vision impaired as it is, it’s not safe for you to wander around”
But Maja pulled away tears streaming down her face
Strangely enough, she didn’t want to cry, but the thought of fan with broken fingers left her heartbroken. She knew
him all too well. Even in this state, he would never seek medical attention
He rarely ever took care of himself
Before she entered his life, his demeanor towards everyone, including himself, had always been indifferent.
The man stood beside her watching as she seemed to lose her bearings, like an animal trapped in a cage, uncertain

She slid down the wall, landing in a slump on the ground
Her eyes were fixed on the space ahead, but her vision was shrouded in darkness, a fitting reflection of the path
that lay ahead of her
Unhurried the man asked. “Are you thirsty? Do you need some water?”
Maja did not respond
Her lips were dry and cracked, revealing lines of blood. Speaking was painful, but in a self–destructive manner, she
refused to drink.
The man knelt down beside her, quietly observing her
Maja could feel his presence. The next moment, her chin was lifted, and a glass of water was brought to her lips
She tried to turn away but his grip on her was firm, leaving a red mark on her chin.
Finally, after finishing half the glass, her lips were no longer parched
The man set the glass aside.
“So, you can’t accept that you and lan are from different worlds, and is it because of you that he’s in such a terrible
state? If you want to see him, you can. I can help you, but I’ll have to take you to Enc first. I’m no saint, Maja”
Maja froze, but did not speak
The man helped her to her feet, his tone softening
“You do have another option, you know You’re just not willing to take it, Maja. You’re a smart woman.”
She did have another option, one that she had been avoiding
That was to sever all ties with fan. Let him give up, and even hurt him in the process, to show him that Maja was not
worth his efforts. His love for her would be nothing but a joke
If she did that, lan would stop hoping for her to return.
His remaining pride would not allow him to beg her to stay
She was led back to her room. The moment she caught a whiff of the incense, her mind started to cloud over, and
she was overwhelmed by self–loathing
The man didn’t push her. He knew she had to choose her path willingly if she were to stay the course
After a long silence. Maja finally asked in a hoarse voice, ‘How do I know you’re not lying to me?”
The man chuckled.
I can take you to see him if that’s what you want

would want her
“Women like ber are so naive. They believe any kind of promise But I heard her family background isn’t great so it’s
no surprise she trusts men easily ”
Someone else chimed in “You guys am so fickle Be careful, your actions might come back to haunt you one day
“What? With the kind of family wealth we have, what’s wrong with a few women having abortions for us? Isn’t that
how most men are? Not everyone is a fool for love
