Chapter 7

"You fucking strangled her?"

"What? No. I just had my hand around her neck." Jason defended himself.

"So you strangled her?" 

Liam let out a sigh. He had never been this disappointed in Jason.

"Barely."

"She has bruises you fucking idiot!" Liam yelled.

Liam stared at Jason in disbelief. He knew Jason was a bad person but he never though Jason would ever put his hands on a woman. 

"That's low mate, even for you." Liam told Jason while they went over a new contract. 

"I fucking know that!, You think I don't know that?" 

"Did you at least apologize?" 

Jason bit his bottom lip and avoided eye contact. Liam immediately picked up on it. He knew Jason didn't apologize. 

"Jason put your damn pride aside, you dick. Go apologize."

Liam felt bad for Maya. He had only met her the day Jason married her but he genuinely felt like she deserved better than Jason. 

"I'll do it after work."

Jason never cared about anyone's feelings. As long as he was happy nothing else mattered.

"No, you'll do it now. Go home for the day. I can take care of things here." 

Jason got up and left the office to go home. 

While driving home Jason contemplated if apologizing was worth it or not. His ego would never allow him to do that. Jason pulled into the garage and went into his house. He still had no idea if he would do it or not. 

"Maya!" Jason yelled as he entered the house. 

Maya came running down the stairs as soon as she heard Jason call her. 

"Yes sir?" 

Jason struggled to find his words and just stood there for a few minutes.

"Listen, I'm sorry for what I did to you but you shouldn't have pushed me like that."

Maya crosses her arms and frowns.

"That's your apology?" She asks.

Jason began to get angry but tried to calm down. He couldn't stand it when Maya spoke back to him. 

"Excuse me?" 

"You're gaslighting me." 

He knew she was right, but this was his first time apologizing to someone so he wasn't exactly sure how it worked.

" And also, that's not how an apology works. You don't say 'I'm sorry but', but what? There shouldn't be a but. You hurt me. What's worse is you can't even apologize for it." 

Maya felt warm tears running down her cheeks but quickly wiped it away before Jason said something about it. She turned away from him and went back to her room. 

Jason sat in the living room and tried to figure out what his next step was. He pulled out his phone and scrolled through his contacts before clicking on one of them. He waited for the person to answer. 

"Celia, I'm glad you picked up. Are you still at work?" 

"I actually just got home why?" 

Jason gets up and grabs his keys before heading to the door.

"Where are you going?" Maya asked as she reached the bottom of the staircase. 

"Listen I'm going to call you back in a minute." He ended the call and turned to Maya. "I'm heading out." 

Maya knew where he was going. She didn't know who the woman was, she just knew there was a woman. 

"What time will you be home?" 

"When I want to be home." He said and left the house. 

Jason drove straight to Celia's house. He didn't bother thinking about if it was worth it or not. He just needed to see her. He drove through town like a maniac till he got to Celia's house. 

"Well if it isn't Mr King." Celia smirked as she opened the door. 

Jason just smashed his lips against hers. Surprised by this, Celia pulls back. 

"Are you okay?" 

She shut the door behind him and walked over to the kitchen. 

"I don't want to talk." 

"Then what do you want Jason?" 

Jason smiled and stepped closer to her. He gently grabbed her neck and pushed her against the wall. 

"You." 

Celia pushed her hand through his hair while staring into his eyes. 

"Oh yea?" 

"Yea." 

She slowly unbuttoned his shirt without breaking eye contact. Jason could never control himself whenever she looked at him with those big blue eyes of hers. 

"Stop staring at me like that." Jason said and cleared his throat.

"Why? Are you scared you won't be able to control yourself?" 

Celia smirked and slowly dropped her robe on the kitchen floor. Jason grabbed her and bent her over the kitchen counter. He dropped his pants. Jason entered her from behind making her moan at the sensation. His thrust became rougher and rougher till Celia put her hand behind her to slow him down. He just grabbed her hands and held them behind her back till he finished. 

"That was incredible." Celia said while Jason put his boxers on. 

She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and slowly kissed him. 

"I bet you don't have this much fun with her." Celia whispered into Jason's ear. 

He loosened out of her grip and raised an eyebrow at her.

"What?" 

"I said-"

Jason lifted one of his fingers and instructed Celia to keep quiet. He was confused as to why Celia would bring Maya into this. She doesn't even know her.

"Yea I heard what you fucking said. What I want to know is why the hell you even said it."

Celia realised her mistake but she was too far in to just stop so she might as well get everything off her chest right now. She traced her fingers up Jason's shirt but he grabbed her hand before she got to his neck.

"Come on JJ, you know I make you feel way better than that woman. I bet you don't even get excited around her." 

Jason wasn't even sure how he felt around Maya. He knew that he found her attractive but he hadn't thought of her in a sexual way. That is until now. 

"Celia I came here to see you not to talk about my marriage." 

Celia got upset at the thought of Jason and Maya in the same house. 

"Is she a better fuck than me though?" 

Jason pitched the bridge of his nose. He just needed to get out of there as soon as possible.

"We've never had sex Celia, now drop it." He demanded. "I'm going to call it an early night." 

Jason took his things and left. On the drive home Jason started fantasizing about Maya. Now that he thought about it, she really was gorgeous. He shook the thought out of his head when he got home. He saw Maya sitting on the couch and decided to sit on the bar chair a few feet away from her. 

"Oh you're home. I'm going to head upstairs now." She grabbed her blanket and walked back up to her room. On her way passed him, she could smell that scent she despised which caused her to freeze in her tracks for a few seconds before walking away. 

 Jason admired her body as she walked away. He decides to skip his dinner and just go straight to bed. He got up from the bar chair and could smell Celia's perfume on himself. It was at that moment he knew why Maya froze for a second in front of him....She knew about Celia.

"Fuck!" He yelled and smashed one of the vases in the living room. 

He went up to his room and left the mess in the living room. After changing into something comfortable he went back downstairs to get water and clean his mess but when he got there it was already clean. He knew Maya was the one who cleaned it because they were the only people in the house. He went back up to thank her but stopped right at her door and decided not to do it. Instead he went back to his room to do anything other than think of Maya. He got into bed and as soon as he closed his eyes Maya popped into his head.

"Shit." He sighed
