Do You Think it's Fair enough ? .. CHAPTER 28 +25 BONUS MAYA " I can't believe that asshole had the nerve to go around accusing you . He should be jailed for what he's done , in fact I think it's better to sue him or something . " Marvin was pissed . And I couldn't blame him . Even I was fuming with anger and was not surprised that she had to go this low to make me look bad in front of him . She's always been a snake . " Don't you think you're taking this thing a little too far ? " I intervened . " She accused me , but I was able to prove my innocence . Isn't that what matters ? " He glared at me , like I had just said the dumbest thing . " They didn't just accuse you . They did a whole lot worse . That's defamation if you think about it and I'm sure Larry wouldn't have let this go easily , so why should we ? " He had a point . But I don't know why , I just didn't want this to prolong . I didn't want to have to deal with this matter and I was hell bent on trying to convince him to let it go . " Please , let's just forget about it , " I pleaded with him . " Dammit Maya ! I said no , " he slammed his fist against the steering wheel . I flinched , shocked to see him like this . To say he was angry was an understatement- He was beyond furious . I've never seen him thud mad before and it got to a point it scared me . He took a deep breath , calming himself down after a while . " I'm sorry , Maya , " he apologized . " I shouldn't have lashed out like that . I just don't want to marry thinking he can get away with anything . It's not fair . " I patted his shoulder . " Dont worry about it . I'm strong and I wouldn't let Larry think otherwise , okay ? I appreciate your help but I got this . " He suddenly turned to look at me , his brows furrowed and he squinted his eyes , like he was trying to study me . " Do you maybe still have feelings for Larry ? " He asked right out of the blue . I was shocked to the core and felt some kind of strange feeling swept through me . I covered it up with an awkward laugh . " W - What are you saying ? " I laughed . " Ofcourse , I don't love him . I hate him to the core for everything he did to me and I don't even understand how you can even think that . Like , it's disgusting . " His eyes softened a little . " You're right . I don't even know why I asked that stupid question . It's ridiculous to think you still have something for him after everything he did to you . " Marvin didn't say anything for the rest of the ride . He just kept gripping the steering wheel tight , his jaw clenched the whole time . I could tell he was still angry . Like , really angry . I wanted to calm him down , but I also didn't want to say something wrong again . When we got to his house , he parked the car and stepped out without waiting for me . I followed behind him slowly , still thinking about what he said earlier . The way he looked at me . The question about Larry . It was still stuck in my head . He walked straight into the house and dropped his keys on the table with a loud thud . Then , without even taking off his shoes , he pulled out his phone and started dialing someone . " Who are you calling ? " I asked , still standing near the door . 1/2 Do You Think it's fair enough ?. +25 BONUS He raised a finger like he was telling me to wait , and then he turned his back to me . " Hello , Sir , " he said over the phone . " Yes , I need to speak with Mr. Benson , the lawyer . It's urgent . " I blinked . Wait - he was really calling his attorney ? My heart skipped a beat . " Yes . Tell him it's about a case . Someone tried to ruin my friend's name publicly and I want to know what steps we can take legally , " Marvin continued , pacing the floor now . " No , this isn't just gossip . There's actual video proof . And she was embarrassed in public . It was a scene . ' I sat down slowly on the couch , watching him as he kept talking . " Alright . I'll send the video . Yes , I have it . Got it from someone who recorded everything at the mall . She gave it to me , " he added . I gasped . " Wait - what video ? Someone recorded it ? " He turned to look at me briefly and nodded . " Yeah . A lady was there . She sent it to me through W ****** p . " I didn't even know someone had recorded the whole drama at the shopping mall . My face turned red just thinking about it . video o Marvin ended the call and dropped his phone beside him on the couch . He opened the video on his screen and played it again . The sound echoed through the living room - Brandy shouting , pointing fingers , people whispering and staring . I couldn't even bring myself to look . " Why do you still have that video ? " I asked in a small voice . " I'm going to post it , " he said plainly . " I'll upload it online . Everywhere . " I looked at him , shocked . " Marvin , you can't do that . " He frowned . " Why not ? " " Because it'll just make everything worse . People will start talking again . What if it affects your work ? What if they come after you too ? " " I don't care , " he said , folding his arms . " Let them talk . At least the truth will be out . You don't deserve what happened to you . That girl - Brandy - needs to learn that she can't go around lying about people just because she's jealous . " I rubbed my hands together , nervous . " But what about Larry ? " " What about him ?" Marvin snapped . " He stood there and let it happen . He didn't even defend you . If anything , he believed her . So why should I care what happens to him ? " I didn't know what to say . I just looked away . Marvin sighed and picked up his phone again . " I'll start with F ****** k , " he mumbled to himself . " Then I ******* m . And I'll ask people to share it . Once it gets attention , we'll take legal steps . " I stood up and walked to him slowly . " Marvin ... please . Can we not do this ? " He looked up at me , his eyes hard . " You can ask me anything , Maya . But not this . I already made up my mind . " And with that , he pressed the upload button . The video was now online . There was no going back . 2/2 SOLUTION
