Chapter 516 The fire of passion flamed in Maeveâs face. She bit her lip and exclaimed, âBastard!
Their bodies entwined with fervor. After Zion stripped away Maeveâs final piece of clothing, their breaths mingled as they tangled on the bed for hours. It wasnât until mid- morning that Zion finally relented.
He then carried Maeve to the bathroom to clean up. This time, Maeve was firm. She insisted Zion lewe so she could wash herself alone as she was wary of him forcing himself on her again Outside the bathroom, Zion felt a pang of disappointment but knew better than to argue Later, he drove Maeve to the prison where Richard awaited them Richard personally escorted Marve and Zion inside, saying, âAll personal items are kept together here Ms. Scott, since you mentioned wanting to see your familyâs belongings, we had them brought over immediately.â
With that, Richard motioned for the items to be broughtin.
On the table lay everything Philip had on him when he entered prison: a set of clothes, a wallet, and a car key Maeve frowned. âIs this all?â she asked.
Richard nodded. âYes, thatâs it. Nothing more.â
Marve fell silent. She reached out to touch the clothes Philip wore before entering prison. Her hand brushed against something hard, and she discovered a neatly sewn patch. She tore it open, revealing an old key.
âYes, this is it.â Maeve confined as it matched with the keyhole shape she remembered.
×× âThatâs good news,â Richard said. âMs. Scott, would you Eke to meet Mr. Scott?â
âHeâs not âMr. Scott anymore, Mr. Carter. Please arrange for us to meet,â Maeve replied.
âSure! Alright! Iâll have someone bring Philip over,â Richard said and signaled to a nearby guard Maeve headed to the visitation roomâa private cubicle where their conversation wouldnât be overheard.
Zion followed Maeve inside. When Philip saw Marve, hope flickered in his eyes briefly before fading at the sight of Zion His cheek twitched, and it seemed like he didnât have the courage to look at either of them.
Richard set up chairs for Zion and Marve and said, âTake your time. Iâll be outside if you need anything.â
âOkay. Thank you, Mr. Carter, Marve said.
As Richard left, Maeve flashed a smile at Philip. âUncle Phil, itâs only been a month, and you donât recognize me already?â
Philipâs face darkened at the memory of Maeveâs betrayal. His time in prison had been brutal. âIâm already in prison, Ms. Scott What could possibly bring you to this place?â
âOf course, thereâs something important,â Maeve said cryptically. With a nonchalant attitude, she lifted the key hidden in Philipâs clothes Philipâs expression fell instantly at the sight of the key.
Mare raised an eyebrow and asked, âDo you remember this, Uncle Phil?
