"Fuck!" Maya heard Jason yell from downstairs.

She rushed out of bed and ran downstairs.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" She asked, panicked.

"He ate my Mega Crunch," Jason complained.

Maya rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"I thought something serious happened."

"Maya, he ate the whole thing!" Jason argued.

Maya shook her head and walked away. She wasn't in the mood to deal with Jason.

"There was three bowl worth of cereal left!" He yelled as Maya walked away.

Maya got back into bed and covered her head with the blanket. She felt Jason climb into bed a few minutes later. Maya turned to face him when she heard him eating.

"What are you eating?" Maya asked.

"My Mega Crunch."

Maya sat up and knotted her eyebrows.

"I thought you said my dad ate them."

"I took a new box out."

Maya sighed in annoyance. She planned to get Jason another box of cereal, but he clearly didn't need one.

"Is my dad still here?"

"I think he left for work," Jason answered. "His bags are still here,

    "You look absolutely breathtaking," Maya said, and looked at Skyler in awe.Skyler wore an off-the-shoulder wedding dress with long white gloves. Maya had never seen anyone as beautiful as Skyler. She teared up but quickly blinked the tears away. Skyler turned to face Maya and noticed her tears. "Oh, you silly goose, you'll ruin your makeup." Skyler smiled and softly blew on Maya's eyes. "I'm sorry, I can't help it," Maya whispered. "You just look so beautiful." She added.Skyler took Maya's hand and led her to the full-length mirror. She stood behind Maya and wrapped her arms around her. "You look just as beautiful," Skyler told Maya. The two stood in front of the mirror for a moment, before they were interrupted. Skyler's mother walked in with the bridesmaids. They all stood in silence and admired Skyler. "Oh, my baby girl, you are so beautiful." Skyler's mother mentioned. She walked closer to Skyler and began to cry. "I know it may seem like I'm sad, but these are tears of

    Jason and Maya decided to stay in Italy for a few more days. He wanted to let Maya explore without the fear of being hunted down. Jason loved Maya's reaction when she explored the city. He planned to show Maya the world. It was the least he could do after she helped him out of his depressive state. Jason sat on the bed and stared at Maya as she looked out the window of their hotel room. "It's beautiful," Maya said as she looked at the city. "Don't you want to see?" She questioned. Jason was more than satisfied with the view he had from his bed. "I have a perfect view from here.""No, you don't. You can't see the city from there." Maya complained. Jason looked up at Maya and smiled. "Who said I was talking about the city?" Maya turned to the window with a grin on her face. Jason got off the bed and walked towards Maya. He wrapped his arms around her waist from the back and kissed her neck. "You have to admit the city really is beautiful." Jason rested his chin on Maya's shoul

    "I wish we didn't have to leave so soon," Maya whined. "We could always come back, you know?" Jason chuckled. Maya sighed. "I know. I just don't want to leave." Maya had enjoyed her alone time with her husband. She didn't have to worry about anyone targeting her or bumping into his secretary. "Is there any specific reason you don't want to leave?" Jason asked with a worried look. "It's just- no it's stupid. Never mind." Maya walked away from her husband and packed the rest of her clothes into her suitcase. Jason followed behind her. "Maya, what's bothering you?" Maya turned around and took a deep breath in. As much as she didn't want to talk about it, she had to. "I just enjoyed spending time with you. I know you try to spend time with me at home, but it isn't the same. I just want you all to myself. I know it sounds selfish, but it's true." Maya turned away once again and carried on packing. Jason wasn't sure what he should say to lighten up the mood. "We could stay anoth

    "Where's Jason?" Anthony whispered when Maya stepped closer. "In a meeting. He isn't answering my calls." Maya moved closer to Blake and gently placed her hand on his cheek. Blake responded with a weak smile. "How are you feeling, buddy?" Maya choked at the end of her sentence. Her nose began to burn as she held her tears in. She couldn't pretend anymore. She knew that it was the end. "I feel great," Blake whispered, and looked up at his sister. "Can you lay down next to me?" He asked. Maya nodded and softly got onto the bed. She was too afraid to touch Blake because she knew he was in excruciating pain. "Hold me." Blake began to cry. Anthony got up from his chair and helped put Blake in Maya's arms. Blake felt fragile in Maya's grip. The two laid in silence while Maya softly rocked him back and forth. Maya's parents left the room for a few minutes to compose themselves. Maya had given up on trying to get hold of her husband. Her only focus in that moment was Blake. "Thank

    Maya woke up a few minutes before Jason and decided to go downstairs. The reality of Blake being gone still hadn't hit her. It still felt like he was with her. Maya made herself a slice of avocado toast and a cup of coffee. A few minutes later, Jason walked downstairs and kissed her head. "How are you feeling?" He asked and sat next to her. "Fine." She responded coldly and finished up her toast. Jason stared at Maya and wondered what he should say next. He didn't want to upset her any further. "About last night." He said awkwardly. "Why do you do this to me, Jason?" She finally confronted him. "Just the other night, you made me believe you actually cared about me." "I do care about you, Maya." He defended. Maya didn't believe a single word he said. She was an idiot to believe he could love her. "Why do you even speak to her? Why do you give her money?" "It's complicated." Maya had finally had enough. She was tired of being treated like a second option. "Jason, I can't do t

    "How are you feeling?" Skyler hugged Maya at the door. Maya stepped aside and let Skyler walk into her hotel room. "I feel like dying." Maya sat in the center of the bed and sipped her red wine. "Would you like some?" She offered. "No, thank you," Skyler responded politely Maya shrugged and refilled her glass with the bottle on her nightstand. "What happened, Maya?" Skyler asked. Maya had called her crying hysterically and begged her to come over. By the time Skyler got there, Maya wasn't crying. Her eyes were red, and she was drinking."Something awful happened." Maya put her glass down and began to sob. "Is it Jason?" Maya nodded and covered her face with her hands. "Not just Jason," Maya said through her hands. "Blake passed away." Skyler stared at Maya in disbelief. "He died yesterday," Maya added. Skyler, still unable to speak, sat next to Maya. She held her in her arms and felt tears run down her face."I think Jason wanted it to happen." Skyler pulled away and ra

    Jason went to bed in the early hours of the morning. He couldn't sleep, so he tossed and turned. He found it hard to keep Maya in the dark when it came to his situation with Celia. The letter didn't make things any easier. He had to confront Celia about the letter when he went back to work. Jason got up early and made breakfast. Well, he ordered everything online and plated it before Maya woke up. "Morning, Maya." He greeted with a smile. "Jason, I'm not in the mood for this." "I know, but I need to discuss something important with you." Maya sat down across the table and stared at Jason."It's about why I keep seeing Celia." Jason caught Maya's attention with that sentence. She had always wondered why Jason wouldn't let her go. "She's pregnant." "How the hell does that concern you?" Maya didn't for a second think it would be his child. Mostly because she knew how much he didn't want children. Maya bit on a slice of avocado toast while she waited for Jason to respond."It's

    "In my office, now!" Jason yelled and walked past Celia. Celia got up and walked behind Jason. She wasn't sure what Jason was upset about, but she knew it wasn't her. "Sit." He instructed. Celia sat down and crossed her ankles. Jason pulled the letter out of his bag and slid it towards Celia."What the hell is that?" He asked. "An envelope?" She responded sarcastically. "I'm not in the mood for your damn jokes, Celia." Celia opened the letter and read everything. As she read, she grew anxious. "I don't know what this is." She closed the letter and slid it back to Jason. "Then why does the woman mention you?" Celia wasn't sure how she would lie out of this situation. "Answer me, Celia." "I don't know what you want me to say, Jason. I don't know anything about this letter, I swear." Jason didn't believe her, but he nodded. He didn't want to stress her out because she was carrying his child. "You can leave," Jason said and sat down. Celia remained seated after Jason instruc

    "I'll be back before dinner, alright?" Jason said, grabbing his keys."Why so late?" Maya questioned."I have a few things I need to sort out after work. It won't take too long, okay?" Jason told her. Maya nodded and turned the TV on to watch a movie.Jason stopped and got coffee for both himself and Liam before driving to work. He had made up his mind about who his new receptionist would be, so he had to give her a call first thing when he got to the office. Right after work, Jason had to meet up with someone to discuss a few things, then he would be able to go home."Coffee?" Jason offered to Liam and sat down. Liam took the coffee and thanked him."I was looking into your idea for a new school, and I'm all for it," Liam began. "It's going to cost us quite a bit, but not enough to hurt us. I checked out the building, and it's actually decent. We just need to fix it up here and there," Liam finished. Jason nodded, and they continued to discuss everything in detail. An hour later, Jas

    "Maya!" Skyler screamed, pulling Maya in for a hug. "You look amazing," she added, pulling back to admire Maya."Thank you, Sky. You look gorgeous," Maya complimented back. Once everyone greeted each other, they made their way to the table and took a seat."Maya, Liam was telling me that you're due in about a week or two?" Skyler asked."Yeah, the twins seem ready to come, even though it's a bit early," Maya chuckled. She grew nervous at the thought of giving birth. At first, she was more than ready, but she began to freak out as the days got closer."So, it's just a while before me," Skyler said, even more excited than before."Pretty much," Maya laughed nervously. Jason noticed and changed the subject to calm her nerves."Liam, listen. There's a new project I want to run by you," Jason began. "There's a four-story building that I drove past a while ago. It's up for sale. I was thinking we buy it and turn it into a school. Not just any school, though. A business school. It will focus

    "Have you found anyone to fill in the receptionist position yet?" Liam asked Jason, handing him a coffee. Jason wanted to get as much done at work as possible before Maya had their twins."I have two women coming in for an interview later on. So hopefully, by the end of the day, I'll have someone," Jason answered and sipped his coffee."How's Maya?" Liam asked, making himself comfortable. He had finished up most of his work, so he thought this would be the perfect time to pester Jason to allow some time to pass."She's doing really well. We had a doctor's appointment yesterday. He told us that the twins might be born earlier than we expected," Jason mentioned. "It could happen in a week or two," he added."Oh shit, that's really cool. Sky is due in about three weeks," Liam said excitedly. "We should all go out for dinner one more time before we get too busy," Liam suggested. Jason nodded at the idea. It would be great for them to go out to dinner one more time."Alright, I'll talk to

    Maya stayed a lot longer at the fundraiser because she enjoyed it. The two got home later than planned, but Maya didn't mind. The following morning, Maya and Jason got ready for Maya's checkup. It would be Jason's first time attending one of Maya's appointments, and he was more than excited about it."Which suit do you think I should wear?" Jason asked, holding two suits in his hands. Maya laughed as she ate ice cream in bed."Just wear sweatpants and a shirt, Jason," she responded.Jason shook his head and stepped closer to her. "Maya, I need to look professional," he argued.Maya shrugged and pointed at the navy blue suit with her spoon. "That one," she told him and had a spoonful of ice cream.Jason nodded and began changing into his suit. "How come you're not dressed yet?" he asked Maya while buttoning his shirt. "You showered two hours ago," he added."I know, but then I got tired," she defended. "And then I got hungry and made something to eat, and then I was craving ice cream,

    "Why are you up so early?" Maya asked as she walked into Jason's home office. Jason had been up since 4 AM, planning a surprise for Maya. It would take a long time before it was done, but he wanted to finish as soon as possible. "There's a work function happening today. We're raising money for the Blake Foundation." He said and got out of his seat to hug and kiss Maya. "The Blake Foundation?" She asked curiously. "It's a foundation I started after your brother passed away. It's to help children with cancer. There's an auction today, and all the money goes to that foundation." Jason explained. "I was wondering if you would like to come with me to tonight's event," Jason said. "Oh, I'd love to, but I don't look my best. I'm huge, and nothing looks good on me any-" Jason cut Maya off before she continued. "Don't say stuff like that, Maya. You're beautiful, and you'll look amazing in anything you put on. I'll have my team come in to do your hair and makeup. Then you'll pick out a dress

    Maya was woken up by a knock on her front door. The last time she checked, she wasn't expecting any guests. She got up and walked towards the front door while rubbing her eyes. Maya peeped through the hole to see who it was. A smile grew on her face as she noticed Jason standing there with flowers. She opened the door and flew into his arms. Jason wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck. He pulled back and handed Maya her flowers. "Do you think I could come inside?" Jason asked and smiled. "Oh, yeah. Sorry, come on in." Maya said and stepped aside. Jason walked in and went straight to the living room. "To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?" Maya asked as she sat on the couch. "I just missed you, that's all," Jason answered. Maya blushed and placed her hand on Jason's cheek. "I missed you too." Jason tried to pull Maya in for a kiss, but she blocked it. "Absolutely not." She said with her hand on his mouth. "I haven't brushed my teeth yet." She said and got up. "I don'

    As soon as Jason got up, he got a hold of one of his whiskey bottles. He poured himself a few shots before sitting on his couch. As much as Jason was excited to bring Maya home, he still had some sort of pain. Pain he didn't often feel. Instead of spending the rest of his morning sulking, Jason decided to head out and buy supplies for the twin's bedroom. On his way to the store, his phone rang. A smile crept across his face when he saw Maya's name pop up. "Hey, stranger." She greeted. "Hey, Maya." He answered back with a smile. "What you got going on today?" Maya asked. "I'm heading to the store right now. My dad's coming over later to help with a few things around the house. What about you, love?" "I'm just going to spend the day indoors. I was thinking, maybe I'll have a little spa day, you know?" Maya told Jason. "Oh yeah? Maybe I'll stop by sometime, and we could have our own spa day." "I'd like that." Maya chuckles through the phone. "Anyways, I was just checking up on you and

    Jason had finally gotten home. As soon as he entered, he could hear Celia yelling from across the house. He was sick of hearing her yap about everything. "Where the fuck were you, and why weren't you answering your phone!?" She yelled. Jason took his shoes off at the door and walked into the kitchen. Celia followed behind him, yelling, but he couldn't make out what she was saying. All he could think about was Maya. "Answer me when I'm talking to you!" Celia shouted and pushed him. Jason turned around to face her before he spoke. "I was with Maya." He answered, staring into her eyes. Celia crossed her eyebrows and let out a loud breath. "So you're cheating on me then?" She asked. Jason shook his head no and drank his water. "We're not together, Celia.""What do you mean, JJ?" She asked in shock. "You're just carrying my child. That's the only reason you're still around. Which reminds me, you need to move back into your old apartment. I can't take your constant bitching and moaning.

    "When am I going to see you again?" Maya asked with her arms wrapped around Jason. She didn't want him to leave, but knew he had work to do."I'll pop in tonight and spend one more night." He said and kissed her temple. "I'll have to leave tomorrow, though." "Jason, please don't kill Giovanni. What's going to happen to Gabriela?" Maya asked and let go of Jason. Instead of responding, Jason kissed Maya on her lips and walked out. Maya went to Gabriela's room to wake her up for breakfast. She didn't know what would happen to Gabby if Jason did anything to her father. "Wake up, sleepy head," Maya whispered and shook Gabby. She slowly opened her eyes and tried to adjust them to the brightness. "Where's daddy?" She mumbled and sat up. "He had to get some work done. I'm not sure when he will be back." She lied. How else was she supposed to tell a four-year-old her father was probably being tortured to death?"Okay." She yawned. Gabriela got out of bed and followed Maya to the bathroom,
