2023-07-09 03:04:43"Maya, darling!" Celia called out as she pulled Maya in for a hug. "You are absolutely gorgeous, what are you doing with a grumpy man like Jason?" She continued.
A very familiar, nauseating scent hit Maya's nostriles as Celia embrased her in her arms. Surely Celia just used the same perfumeas the woman Jason was seeing. Maya tried to convince herself that Celia wasn't the woman Jason was seeing.
"You're Jason's secretary?"
"Yes honey, just call me Ms Clark."
She grabbed Maya's hand and got into one of Jason's cars. Maya would have much rather went alone.
"So tell me sweetie, how long have you known Jason?" Celia asked.
" Nearly five years."
Celia gave her an awkward smile and placed her hand on Maya's thigh.
"I'm so happy Jason found such a beautiful lady."
Maya smiled and removed Celia's hand from her thigh before shifting away from her.
"Thank you."
"Why are you going to cut your hair? Jason doesn't even like short hair?"
Maya suddenly felt uneasy around Celia. She hated all the questions she kept asking but she just sat through it, hoping the questions would end soon.
"I'm not doing it for Jason, I'm doing it for myself." Maya responded then realised what Celia just said. "Wait, how do you know Jason doesn't like short hair?" She asked in a cocky tone.
Celia smirks at Maya's first response but decided to ignore the question.
"I see JJ found a feisty little girl."
Maya narrowed her eyes at Celia. She heard the nickname Celia just used for her husband and it infuriated her.
"JJ?"
Celia's face filled with panic. She remained quiet and avoided eye contact.
"Could you explain why you just called my husband JJ?" Maya shot angrily.
"It was an honest mistake." Celia grinned.
Maya rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat. She knew Celia was hiding something from her but she was afraid to figure out exactly what it was. The ladies exit the car and got their hair done. Maya ignored every question Celia asked about her and Jason. She could swear Celia was in love with her husband.
"I love how your hair turned out. I mean it's not as pretty as mine but it's great."
Maya turned to Celia after she had enough of Celia's insults. With every step she took towards Celia, Celia took one back till her back was against the car.
"Listen here, I understand you're trying to be friendly but I would appreciate it if you stayed the hell away from me and stop speaking about my husband as though he belongs to you."
Celia chuckled. She loved playing with Maya's feelings. Jason indeed belonged to Celia and she was fighting the urge to tell Maya all about her relationship with Jason.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
She found it hilarious how Maya defended Jason. Poor thing had no idea what her husband got up to every other night.
"Don't test me."
Maya got into the car with Celia and the driver dropped them off at Jason's penthouse. Maya went inside and Celia got into her car and drove back to the office.
As soon as Jason got home he grabbed Maya off the couch and slammed her against the wall.
"What the hell were you thinking?" He snapped.
Maya looked at him in complete confusion. Surely this wasn't because of what happened between her and his secretary.
"What are you talking about?"
Jason let go of her and stepped back. Maya didn't dare move.
"I'm talking about the shit show you caused this afternoon! Have you no shame Maya?"
She feels her body tense up as soon as Jason grabbed her arm. She was still confused as to why he was mad.
"I'm sorry." She mumbled.
She didn't mean it though, she just knew he would let her go if she apologized but he didn't. She looked down at her feet while Jason blew a gasket because she knew if she defended herself he was surely going to hurt her.
"If you never in your life even try to disrespect Celia again believe me when I say we are going to have problems!"
That's when it hit Maya. The nicknames, the scent, the comments on what kind of hair Jason liked. It was as clear as day but Maya didn't want to believe it. She looked up at him. Her sadness quickly replaced with anger. She knew he was cheating but the thought of it being with Celia was sickening. The one woman Maya hated with every fibre of her being was the one her husband felt the need to spend his nights with.
"Celia?"
Jason didn't know what she was talking about so he continued to scold her.
"So she's the woman you've been seeing behind my back?"
"What did you just say?" He snorted.
Jason stepped closer to Maya but she didn't care.
"You heard me Jason. To think I defended our marriage against that two faced bitch! Everything she said and I still defended us! Only to find out she's the woman you've been screwing every single night!"

Jason punched the wall causing Maya to flinch. "Don't you ever talk about her like that or else-""Or else what Jason? Are you going to put your hands on me? Or throw me on the fucking floor again?" Maya fired back. "What exactly are you going to do this time?"Jason stepped back and stared at Maya. He knew if Maya ever said anything about this his reputation would be destroyed so he let her go.Maya went up to her room and shut the door. A few minutes later she heard Jason leave the house. She grabbed a towel and took a long bath.Maya contemplated telling somebody about what Jason had done but she knew it would ruin so many lives, including Blake's. She wasn't willing to take that risk no matter how many times Jason cheated on her.After getting dressed she heard Jason groan downstairs. She went downstairs to see what Jason was complaining about this time. As soon as she got downstairs she saw Jason covered in cuts and bruises."Jason, what the hell happened to your face?""I got

When Jason got home, he went straight to Maya's bedroom and decided to knock on the door, which surprised Maya. "Come in." He heard Maya say softly. When he opened the door, she quickly wiped away her tears and turned to look at him. "You're home early." She said calmly, while trying to sniff away the snot that was aggressively gushing out her nose. "Yeah, I wanted to talk to you about something." Jason knew he should ask her what was wrong, but he hated when people got emotional because he had no idea how to deal with it, and there was no way she would allow him close to her after all the harm he had already caused. "Okay, I'll come down in a minute." Maya got off the bed and walked to her bathroom to freshen up. She had been crying all morning at the thought of Jason cheating. What hurt Maya the most was that she couldn't tell anybody about it. All she could do was pretend to be in a happy and stable marriage. " I just need us to take about last night." He started, which ca

The question caught Jason off guard. He remained silent, trying to figure out how to respond to Maya's question. He had no reason for treating her foul, and it bothered him. The realization had just hit him. Even if he tried to love her, it wouldn't last long. He was used to getting his way everytime, but he couldn't with Maya. Maya was her own person. She had her own opinions. She would always call Jason out when he was wrong. It would infuriate him. Nobody dared talk back to him. It took him aback when Maya would talk back, so he thought being violent was the only way to assert dominance. "It's okay. You don't have to answer. Let's go." Maya sighed. She sat back in her seat and put her seat belt on. The couple completely forgot about the paparazzi, and they knew that; there were a few good shots the paparazzi took of them that would be plastered all over the internet. Once again, the car ride was silent. Jason didn't mind it this time. He knew she wasn't mad at him for what he ha

"I don't see the big deal about this store." Blake groaned as they got out of the car.Maya rolled her eyes and went inside. She decided to browse before she asked them about any vacancies. Jason had other plans. While Maya dragged Blake around, Jason walked over to the front desk. "Good afternoon Sir. How may I help you today." A young woman asked while typing on a computer. She looked up from the computer and saw Jason in front of her."Oh? Mr King, What are you doing here? And can I say? I love what you're doing with the shelters."She struggled to contain her excitement. Jason looked behind him to make sure Maya wasn't nearby before he carried on. "Thank you so much. I'm here with my wife. She wants a job here, and I'm here to ensure that happens." The woman's face lit up even more. Jason didn't even think it was possible. She looked around the store, hoping to see his wife. "Mrs. King is here too?" "Yes." He answered firmly. Just then, she spotted Maya walking with her littl

Jason and Maya took Blake back to Maya's parent's house after he spent a few days with them. Jason still treated Maya well, but Maya feared it wouldn't last long. Jason was trying his best to be a good husband, but it just wasn't who he was. He thought Maya would change him, but all she did was argue. Even he knew he wouldn't be able to pretend for too long. The following Monday, Jason returned to work and filled in the rest of the paperwork for the new bookstore. He planned on changing the name and renovating everything before showing it to Maya. "So you just decided to buy the entire store?" Liam asked to clarify. Just then, Celia entered the office with their coffee and placed it on Jason's desk. "Thanks, darling," Liam said as he took his coffee. "When are you going to tell Maya about it?" Celia heard Liam and decided to eavesdrop on them after she walked out."As soon as all the renovations are done," Jason responded. "I need to get in touch with Best-Builds." "Are you sure

Jason and Maya were getting ready to have dinner with Liam and Skyler. Liam thought it would be good for the ladies to get to know one another. "Maya?" Jason called out from the other side of the door. "Are you nearly done?" He asked while adjusting his tie.Maya opened the door and let Jason in."I just need help with my dress and necklace." She said.She turned around and moved her hair so Jason could zip her dress. He purposefully zipped it up slowly. Maya handed him her necklace and turned around once again. He never used to do this with his ex-wife. "Thanks," Maya said softly.She walked over to the mirror to look at her outfit before they left."Jason, I'm not getting into that car," Maya argued. Jason wanted to take one of his sports cars, but Maya wouldn't have it. She squinted her eyes and crossed her arms. "Why not?" "Because it's small, and you're going to race it downtown to show it off. I refuse to be a part of that." Maya was right. Jason was going to race his car

The following morning, Jason got a disturbing call from the hospital. He decided to wait for Maya rather than him waking her up. He paced up and down his kitchen floor while he waited for her to wake up. "Jason, Why aren't you at work?" "Maya, we need to talk." He said firmly.Maya walked past him and made herself a cup of coffee. Jason sat in the living room and waited for her to finish up. She sat next to him with her mug in her hands. "It's about Blake." Maya's heart dropped, and she began to panic. Jason took the mug out of her hands and held them in his. He waited for her to calm down before he continued. "He's back in the hospital." Maya felt better. She thought the worst. As long as Blake was still with her, Maya felt better. She knew he would be out of the hospital soon. It was their routine. "Damn it, Jason, don't scare me like that. I thought he died or something." She wiped her eyes and let out a laugh. Jason didn't have the heart to tell Maya that her little brothe

"Are you going to be gone all day?" Maya asked Jason."No, I just have a meeting I need to attend, then I need to sort out a few things. I'll be back in about four hours." He answered. Jason took the last sip of his coffee and left. He knew he had to try his best to avoid Celia till he figured out what would do. When Jason got to the office, Celia wasn't there. He let out a breath of relief and sat down.Twenty minutes later, Liam walked into Jason's office. "Liam, I'm so glad you're here." Jason began. "I messed up, mate. I need your help." He added. Liam sat across from Jason and crossed his legs. Jason never asked Liam for help unless it was something awful. Liam hoped it had nothing to do with Maya because Jason had hurt her too much. "It's about Maya." "What did you do?" Liam questioned. Jason scratched the bridge of his nose and shook his head. He hated asking for help, but he needed someone with a clear mind to guide him."I cheated on her." Liam stared at him in disbeli

"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,
