Chapter 545 - Hide
Ava was their child, what did the Rivas family have anything to do with how they raised their child. Just by thinking of them, infuriated Shane more and more.
Maisie flashed an irritating look at her husband and kicked him, "Couldn\'t you save me? I am ashamed to call you my husband." She cursed him, even though she did nothing to save him.
"You-" Shane never raised his hand at his wife but today, he lifted it but threw it away as he breathed heavily. He thought to first solve the problem instead of raising another.
"Call them." He ordered.
Maisie was infuriated hearing him. "How dare you raise your voice at me? Were you dead when those bastards were hitting me and you? Now you have the nerve to speak."
Jose tried to speak but it was still painful for him to move his jaw and squirmed on the floor. He couldn\'t even imagine the force Zain used, thinking of it, sending a cold run down his spine.
Shane wasn\'t only on Rivas, he was also angry at Maisie but he gulped down everything she said and faked his plea folding his hands, "Could you call your brother to help us? Maisie… My wife... Please…"
He wanted to go to the hospital to confirm that the old man hadn\'t broken any bones. He didn\'t want to call any of his friends who would definitely laugh behind their back.
Once Maisie\'s brother would bring them out of the villa, he had no plans to go to the Burnette family but to the Kelly mansion. He was going to stay there even if his father would try to throw him out. He planned to threaten Hayden by taking the news channels and media\'s name mentioning family reputations.
Despite knowing Shane faked, Maisie wanted to get out of the small room so she called her brother, all the while helping Jose to soothe his pain.
As soon as the call got connected, Maisie cried, "Brother… Help us… Brother, only you could help us. Due to that dead jinx, we are locked in the home. Brother, they beat us a lot... " She continued to wail for a minute while the tears rolled down.
When she stopped, the other end grimly asked without melting to her words. "Maisie, tell me the truth, did you kill Ava?"
Maisie froze hearing the other end. Her brother doted on her more than anybody. He always ignored Ava hearing her and believing her lies. For a second she was clueless about what to speak.
"Brother, I agree I wanted her dead but why will I kill her and become a murderer. Brother, why are you asking me this?..." Suddenly she remembered about the video Jose was speaking about, "Oh, that video? Brother, I have met that girl. She is a foreigner. She doesn\'t know me."
The other end stayed silent before he spoke, "I think that girl is Ava, Maisie. You must have made a mistake in identifying her." The voice was very calm, it was like he was giving her an alarm to wake up from sleep.
Maisie felt like her brother was supporting Ava, instead of her so she cried out, "Brother, you haven\'t even met her. I have seen her all my life. I know."
Shane was annoyed they were talking about Ava instead of getting them out of the situation. He snatched the mobile and turned on the speaker to \'request\' the man. However, the other end spoke.
"Haven\'t I met her? Have YOU ever seen her in the eye? The torture she endured under you shows how strong she was. She was bearing it because you were her mother. She wanted your love. If she doesn\'t want that, she will destroy you, Maisie. Can\'t you understand that? Divorce your husband, Maisie. I will protect you, I will look after you." He sounded angered at her stupidity.
Shane erupted like lava. Hayden wouldn\'t save him if Maisie leaves, he will have to endure the torture alone as Ava always loved Jose. "You bastard, who asked for your opinion? I will never let that happen.
\'Crash.\' Shane broke her mobile, smashing it against the wall. And breathed heavily and irregularly.
Nevertheless, Maisie didn\'t get angry. Instead, she looked at her husband and started considering the possibility of leaving her husband. She also started to think about how she could get some of the Kelly assets.
The eerie silence filled the room for a long time.
Jose stayed very quiet to avoid their anger lashing out at him as he hid his mobile to avoid his father breaking it. When he was able to speak with less pain, he started his interrogation, "Mom, tell me the truth. Was my sister, my real biological sister? Why did you lie to me all the while?"
Shane growled, "Don\'t bring up her name and raise my blood pressure. Shut up and sit." He accurately knew Jose was saving his skin but digging the truth and informing Zain. If Shane wasn\'t able to go out, he wouldn\'t let his son leave either.
Then the battle started between the couples. One supporting Jose and another one against him.

Meanwhile, At Harmon mansion,
Leon was desperately trying to get some good sleep but the frequent calls consciously disturbed him. He thought to put it on silent mode after scolding the caller.
He answered the call that came from a string of unsaved numbers, [What the f**king hell is going on? How could she be alive?]
Leon frowned without understanding who \'she\' was in a groggy mood. He glanced at the screen that had a string of numbers and his annoyance reduced understanding who the caller was and pointing at whom.
He kept the phone back in his ear as he stifled a yawn, "Did she meet you?" He asked, lazily leaning on the headrest of the bed. He wanted to hear a spectacular story of Ava playing the caller like a toy.
Leon continued without waiting for a response, "Do you know what she did to Vance Hays and Grace Wells?" He chuckled, "And Billy Craft, those five officers." Leon laughed like he narrated an amazing joke.
"Now, it\'s the last four\'s turn. You, me, Dylan, and Dawson. But the interesting thing is who she will choose last. You or me? Hmmm... I guess it\'s Dawson next. Don\'t you think so?"
Leon again laughed jovially, finding his words funnier to him. But a part of him was boiling like lava for being played by a woman.
The other end had reached his control, "Did you become a senile old man in three years? Or are you f**king some there? I don\'t understand how that piece of shit is still working. Didn\'t you catch any STDs?"
Leon\'s face deadpanned. He didn\'t want to wait for Ava Kelly to act on that man anymore, he wanted to strangle that man to death especially for talking about his nonfunctioning manhood.
However, he thought to fear him, "Heh? Looks like you haven\'t met her yet? Hence you have the balls to raise your tone at me instead of crying for help. Well, I will wait and see how she will rip you inch by an inch."
Completely forgetting to ask why he actually called, Leon ended the call with, "Go… Go… Runoff to an island and hide."
