Worst Fear 31

I held back my laugh I know she wasn’t unact, but I didn’t expect her to believe such nonsense 

No restaurant determines a person’s life. 

“Oh really?” I tried to sound interested. She was, after all, the 

all, the key to me getting the contract 

The smell of different delicacies hit us as we stepped in. 

A man wearing black trousers and a white shirt walked towards us. The interior screamed luxury: 

We were taken to be second floor, which was for the Will customers. 

However, immediately after we got there, a man who seemed to be superior to thei 

“I’m sorry but this place is no longer available for others.” He said. 

I raised an eyebrow. “What?” 

He bowed slightly to me, “I’m sorry for the inconvenience.” He said again. 

an beside us stopped us 

“That’s bullshit, I made a reservation.” I said, already on the brink of losing my patience 

“That is why we are especially sorry, Mr. Woods.” He bowed slightly. 

“We promise to give you the same service on the lower floor.” He said. “The reservation for everyone has been canceled.” 

It would have made more sense if they were doing maintenance or something. But now, this was a newly contracted building. 

“Someone very important is coming” he began to explain. 

“What do you mean? Do you not know who Mason Woods is” Julia spoke in a harsh tone. She pushed her hair back. 

“Our guests will be here any moment, so please, I suggest you move to the VIP section,” 

“I won’t leave until I meet your guess” At this time there were some spectators around. It was already getting really embarrassing 

I kicked myself internally, I shouldn’t have come here. 

“Come on, Julia, let’s just leave.” 

“No, this is unfair, I won’t leave without seeing who this important person worth getting in the bad side of Mason Woods is,” 

“You want to meet me?” A voice spoke from behind. 

The man in front of us bowed, “Madam, Sr. “Wetured around. 

And she came into view. But she wasn’t alone. By her 

er side was a tall man. He had his hand entwined in hers. 

“Miss Alisa Brooks?”

Chapter 31 

Lydia’s point of view 

Three Days eater. 

You are Lydia,” he breathed, “I knew it.” He looked relieved. “I thought you died.” 

He drew his brows together, a worried expression claiming his face. I looked around 

He took one step. “Why didn’t you reach out? All these years, I was in pain, it was torture for me. How could you do this to me? I thought forever.” 

“Mr. Woods, what are you on about? How did you find me?” That was a moi important question if he was here, then the chances and that he has found the twins. 

I pushed that thought away from my head and focused on the man in front of me. There’s no way he would have found them, 

He kept walking closer and closer and I didn’t move. “Was my threat of filing a restraining order a joke to you?” I asked. He shook his head, 

“Just answer this one question and I promise, I’ll get out of your sight. He seemed to have regained his composure now 

flam not interested in answering your question. Take one more step and I promise, I’m reporting you for stalking” My voice was cold. His eyes twitched a look of surprise flashed through his eyes. 

I have never used such a tone on him. 

Then, I had been so in love with him that I was practically pushed around. I was that girl who would never speak out loud. 

It was partly because I was grateful to him for loving someone like me. An orphan who had nothing. He had everything and he chose me 

So I thought the only thing I owed was to be the best wife. A wife who won’t cry even though she was beaten. 

But that girl had died in the fire. 

“I hope you enjoyed the rest of your day” I said, and turned to walk away. I felt a hand pull me back, and immediately I turned, my hand collided with the 

side of his face. 

I opened my purse and fetched out my phone 

“Don’t you dare touch me with your filthy hands?” I said, “And I’m calling the cops. 

He pulled my phone away from my hold. “No, no, please don’t.” 

itted my 

head to the side and extended my hands, “My phone, now” 

He placed it on my hand, then raised both of his hands above his head and took two steps back. 

“See, I’m stepping back. I won’t step forward. You are Lydia, right?” 

I placed my phone in my bag and held the bag close to myself. 

The sun cast a shadow on the building behind me. I pushed my l hair back. 

“I told you before. Lydia is dead. I am Alissa Brooks. Not Lydia. Why is that so hard to understand.” 

He snickered, “So you finally admitted to bring Lydia. You, my wife.” 

“Ex!” I conected.

Heh heh. He can’t even handle a rival. “We are both into the business world. Let’s not do that.” 

“I’d appreciate it if you don’t try to step on me on my way and try to speak to me if you keep hovering around me, I’ll report you for taking a fals and walked away 

“Have you been well? His voice stopped me on my track. Something stirred inside of me.

He didn’t speak in anger, nor did he sound frustrated. If anything, he sounded like the man I married. The man I fell in love with years back. 

I clutched my purse; I didn’t turn around nor respond to his question1 just walked into the building 

I was glad the twins were not in the sitting room when I got inside. They would have sensed something 

I rushed to my room and stood in front of the window, he was still there standing, “Mason, I have not even started else it will get boring” 

you yet. Don’t get weary easily, 

I stepped away from the window. I don’t know how long he spent standing there. When I went back there to check, he was already gone. 

I walked into the restaurant with Marcus, hand in hand. The restaurant was one of his many investments. 

He had promised to take me to it. I chose today, knowing that Mason and his fiance would be present. I also asked for the VIP session to be cleared. 

He needed to know that he couldn’t have his way as he had always had it. 

Julia seemed to be so interested in the person that they booked the entire place thereby leaving them standing outside.

. One minute later, I’d have missed the entire drama. 

“Lydia.” Mason called, and isquinted my eyes, “I mean, Miss Brooks,” he quickly corrected himself. His eyes moved all over my body, stopping on my cleavages, and he swallowed. 

I wore a black dress which exposed my cleavages. It had tiny hands and ran all the way to my ankle. It had a slit which ended on my upper thigh 

“Mr. Woods. I didn’t think I’d meet you here.” I said softly, Marcus as though on clue, linked our hands together, bringing me close to himself 

Mason grinds his teeth, his eyes following our very movement. When Julia saw me, she smiled and stepped closer towards me 

She placed one hand over her lips. “I didn’t know you would be here today. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” 

“Julia,” Mason called softly.

Marcus kept his knife and fork to the side and wiped his lips with a napkin.
