139: Denial

Denial

"If I didn't know women like you, I would have thought you were telling the truth. But don't worry. This grave you dug by yourself, you must enter it." 2

"Brother Rex, I'm innocent. Mav raped me, just like the last time!" She raised her voice before pouting, looking aggrieved. Her lips shook as she tried to suppress her wail. 

Rex froze. She regained her memory? Vera used to call him Brother Rex and Maverick, Mav those days. The first time Maverick had his way with her, it wasn't clear what happened but Vera claimed to have been raped. Ever since, Rex had hated her with passion. Now she's repeating it again. "What do you mean my brother raped you the last time? If you dare sully my brother's integrity one more time, I'll chop you into pieces before he wakes you. You are mad!" 

"I– I'm sorry, I was desperate to prove my innocence." She lowered her head and started to drag the cover to her chest. 

"The last time, what happened between you two is still unclear. The reason he mistook you for Rossa eight years ago, is still a misery and now, he did it again. Vera, if you aren't applying underhanded means, what else would explain what is going on? My brother had mistaken you for Rossa, TWICE! What did you do to him those two times?" 

"I– I didn't do anything, I swear with Valen's life."

"How dare you bring Valen into this?! Just wait. After Matt gets here and finds anything wrong with my brother, you shall burn from earth to hell!" Rex declared.

He pulled out his phone and called Matt. A while later, Matt arrived to meet only Rex in the room. After checking the sleeping Maverick, he sighed. 

"Mav is too stubborn. Don't worry, nothing serious is wrong with him." 

"Tell me what exactly it is."

"He had been depriving himself of sleep for years now. I told him before that there would be consequences to his actions. He doesn't even take the sleeping pills I leave for him. The stubborn bull trash them. I told him that his chronic insomnia will result in severe hallucination; his mind will start to form an illusion of what he desires the most and he might not be able to control it when it kicks in at his worst state but he didn't listen." 

"So, you mean there's nothing wrong with him?" 

Matt shook his head, "nothing is wrong but that doesn't mean I won't take a sample of his blood for a test. However, the result will take some time because there's a lot going on regarding the experiment right now that I can't risk being away from it. We are at the most crucial state and I already sent Mav the recent discovery. If you hadn't sounded like Mav was dying, I wouldn't have come." 

"That's okay. Ehm… Matt, I heard doctors can't tell if one had s3x. However, you are on a higher level than them… can you tell?" 

"What? You don't know if you had s3x with a lady? Rex? If you get a transmitted disease, I won't bail you out." 

"Hai, stop underrating me bro. I haven't slept with any girl in the past five years….but I touch them," he beamed. 

Matt shook his head, "stupid… then…" he shifted his gaze between Maverick and Rex. 

Rex nodded without saying anything. 

"Don't tell me…" 

Rex nodded again.

"What the! Maverick! How could he?!" 

"That's not the point. Can you confirm?" 

"I can't confirm from Mav if his body has been cleaned. However, I can find out by testing her." 

"Why don't you check if he has been clean?" Rex asked. 

"You are his brother, why can't you?" 

"Matt, you are being weird. A doctor and a brother, who is more ideal to check his manhood? I'll be seen as a pervert if I do and besides… how can you expect me to check my brother's manhood?!" Rex's sudden change startled Matt. 

"Chill out, you look like a freak right now." Matt went to check and shook his head. "He has been cleaned."

"That Vixen!" 

"Send her to the lab. Her case is easy. I'll have my assistant check her out…" 

"Hey, you can't let a man check her out. She's still Valen's mother, don't forget that." 

"As if I need you to remind me." Matt sneered. 

Just as he was about to leave, Rex pointed at Maverick. "Why is he still sleeping?" 

"He had a good time. He's tired… can't you tell?"

"Ti– tired?! That's not right. Matt, are you being stupid or unreliable? How can my brother sleep so deeply even when there's so much noise and you say 'he had a good time and he's tired?'"

"Until his blood test is out, you can only say positive things when it's obviously so. A man had s3x with his ex, the mother of his child whom he once showed interest in. The s3x was so good that he went into a deep sleep. Rex, what is odd about that? Not to forget he has chronic insomnia. Oversleeping when he finally finds sleep is not excluded in the symptoms." 

"I'm just worried." 

Matt patted his shoulder. "You are not more worried than all of us when it concerns Mav. So be rest assured that medically, nothing will go wrong when I'm in charge."

….

Maverick opened his heavy eyes that afternoon to see Rex narrowing his eyes at him. He frowned when his body felt lighter than usual. Sitting up, he saw the peach blanket covering him. His brows knitted even more when he realized he was taken under the blanket. 

He threw the cover off and got down from the bed. However, before he could fully expose his nakedness, Rex threw him a garment. 

He caught the garment in the air, wore it in one swift style before he secured the belt and started to walk out of the room.

"Brother, congratulations, you have shattered Jeslyn's heart." 

Maverick froze and his brows creased. "Did I?" 

"Are you asking me? Look at where you are and think of what you did last night. Jeslyn found out and she's hating you already. I believe her hatred for you right now is as massive as your mansion." 

"Nothing happened." He said and walked out.
