Chapter 43"I know I was too harsh on her, but why would she say that to me?" Miles ran his fingers through his hair frustratingly as he paced restlessly in his room."I mean..." He paused and slumped on his bed, his fingers sinking into his hair."I'm not that bad, am I? Is she just mad at me or am I really not her type?" Thinking about everything she had said to him earlier really hurt no matter how he tried to push it away. "But I already apologized to her that I was sorry for saying those words to her. Why would she be so harsh on me?" He muttered and breathed in and out.'You started it all, Miles. You shouldn't be complaining' His subconscious mind reminded him, and he groaned as he dragged himself up to his feet and dashed out of the room.A few minutes later, Miles was standing in front of the door, contemplating on whether or not to knock on the door. What if she was still mad at him for saying that? What if she really didn't want to see him?'She already paid you back. She
Chapter 44After a long ride, Lilly arrived at the hospital and pulled over at the parking lot."Ugh! Finally! I thought I was never going to get here," She breathed out tiredly as she removed her car keys, tossed it inside her handbag, grabbed the small plastic bag beside her, and stepped out of the car."Hey, Lily. You look good as always," Lily couldn't hide her excitement when he colleague complimented her as soon as she stepped into the hospital."Thank you," She smiled and proceeded to her office."Hey, Lily," One of the male nurses smiled at her as he walked toward her in the opposite direction."Hey, Donald,""Wow! You're looking beautiful as always. Is there any special occasion? You look different," Donald raised his eyebrows after he checked her out. Although she has always been a gorgeous young lady, but she looked really different. Unlike every other days she would go to work with no makeup on, it was different today. Her appearance was evident that she really took her ti
Chapter 45May POVLily's familiar car approached as I stood in front of the gate, waiting for her to show up and pick me up so we could leave already. She soon pulled over in front of me, then wined down the glass and crooked her neck out with a warm smile on her face."Have I been keeping you and my godchild waiting?""You bet," I rolled my eyes as I walked over to the other side of the car and hopped in the front seat with her."Be careful with that, please. You don't want to hurt my godchild," She gasped sharply and teased me as I struggled with the seatbelt."Thanks for your concern, but shut your mouth," I rolled my eyes at her and relaxed on the chair once I was able to fasten my seatbelt."So, tell me... What did you say you wanted to tell me? I came down here because of that, so don't keep me waiting," She turned her attention to me with an anxious look on her face like she was desperate to hear whatever gist I had for her, and of course, I knew she was desperate for it. Tha
Chapter 46 May POV "Aren't you coming inside? I should offer you juice to take," I bent over the car window once I alighted from the car. Lily had just come to drop me off at the front of the gate. "It's late already. Let's make it some other time. I need to head home early so I can wake up early for work tomorrow," She reminded me, and I nodded. "That's fine. When are we going to see eachother again?" "I don't know yet, but I'll find a way to see you during the week or by the weekend. Bye! And don't forget to make progress with my in-law. Stop being so guarded," I rolled my eyes as I straightened my back. "Bye," She chuckled as she wined up the glass. I turned and headed inside once she drove off. It was already 7:30pm, and everywhere was dark. I was just about to head to the entrance door when my phone started to ring, and I checked to see that the caller was Miles. This was the fifth time he was calling me in thirty minutes, asking where I was. Since I was alread
Maybelline Walter POV"Hi, babe. I'm ho...me..." My voice trailed off when I walked inside my room and found two naked people on my bed, having sex and moaning like their lives depended on. I had to go back outside to check to be sure I didn't enter the wrong room, but when I saw that it was my room, I walked back inside.My jaw dropped to the ground and my body trembled as I watched my boyfriend and soon-to-be husband, banging another woman right on our bed, the room I rented with my money."Harder please, Os...car..." The bitch my boyfriend was busy fucking, moaned and cried out as she kept asking for more. They were so engrossed in the damn sex that none of them knew that I was inside the room.My heart wrenched painfully and my lips quivered as I stared wordlessly. I opened my mouth to call his attention, but the only thing I could produce were tears that streamed down my cheeks freely."Oscar!" I finally managed to yell his name, and as expected, he quickly pulled away shamelessl
A few days laterMaybelline Walter POVMy heart hammered against my chest as I stood in front of the company, my fingers tightened firmly around the handle of my handbag. I wasn't sure if I was ready to face my boss after what happened a few days ago, but on second thought, I needed to resume work. This was my only source of income and I couldn't just give it up like that. Not when I have bills to pay.After what happened that night, I lied to Mr. Miles that I was sick and took one week off. "Just pretend nothing happened," Taking a deep breath, I proceeded into the compound and just the sight of my boss's car made my heart skip a beat, but thinking about how he would look at me later made it even worse.I braced myself up and proceeded toward the elevator which took me to the third floor where my office is located. I was relieved when I walked inside my office and didn't find Mr. Miles around, but my happiness was soon cut short the moment the door opened and he walked in.My breath
Maybelline Walter POVTwo week later"Are you going to keep living like this, May? You need to tell Mr. Miles what happened and find a solution to this," Lily suggested when she walked in on me again wallowing in thoughts. My life has been in a state of mess ever since I discovered that I was pregnant. "It's been two weeks already. You can't keep this a secret forever," Again, Lily uttered as she finally sat beside me on the bed and held my hand."I don't want to tell him...""Then what do you plan to do? You can't take care of yourself all alone. He needs to take responsibility for what happened. I mean...""How am I supposed to tell him? That we had a one nightstand at the club and I got pregnant for him? Does that even make any sense to you, Lily?" I cut her off, and she sighed briefly."All I'm saying is that...""I'm off, Lily. We'll talk when I get back," I stood up from the bed and picked up my phone from the center table."Where are you going?" She asked as I advanced toward
Two days laterMaybelline Walter POV"Did I do the right thing?" Again, I asked myself after I stepped out of the car that had just driven into Mr. Miles's mansion. I was finally moving in with him today after I signed the marriage contract yesterday, but I guess even if I wanted to change my mind, it would be too late. I mean, I already signed the contract so there was no going back for me now."This way, Miss," The driver's voice disrupted my thoughts and I turned to find him already carrying my suitcase."Oh, okay," He led the way while I trailed behind him. Again, I took my time to check the beautiful house out and I didn't expect less from him, anyway. It was my second time of being here yet I couldn't still get enough of the place."You are here, ma'am?" Mr. Miles's maid, a young lady in her late thirties walked up to me with a warm smile on her face."I will take it from here," She went to collect my suitcase from the driver, then turned to me and smiled again."Mr. Miles aske

Chapter 42May Walter POV'I'm resigning soon, and I need you to take over my companies as the new CEO' Mr. Williams's words played in my head as I stood at the side of the road, waiting for a cab to take me home. Many questions popped up in my head. Why me? Does he not have other kids? How could he trust me when we just met? Just because I'm his daughter doesn't mean that I'll be good to him, don't you think so?'I will have my driver go drop you off' He had offered earlier, but I declined immediately before I left his house. Maybe I should've agreed to it because it's really difficult to get a cab here since it was close to an estate.My phone beeped, and I hesitantly checked to see that it was a text from him.'Hoping to hear from you soon' I rolled my eyes and kept my phone away after I read through the text.My phone vibrated in my my pocket a few minutes later, and I cursed out silently as I reached for it, thinking it was Mr. Williams calling me yet again, but I quickly swiped
Chapter 41May Walter POV"Wife, I made breakfast. You should come to the dining let's eat together," Miles's voice sounded from outside a few minutes after I stepped out of the bathroom."Alright. I'll be there in a couple of minutes,""I'll be waiting," I heard his receding footsteps afterwards, and I presumed he must've gone back.It's been five days since we did the DNA test thing, and we were supposed to get the result today. For the umpteenth time, I picked up my phone and checked to see if my acclaimed Dad had sent me a text, but he didn't. I was grateful he didn't text me all this while just as I had demanded, but I was nervous since the result will be out today."Don't be nervous, May. You'll get over this," I assured myself and took a deep long breath before I walked out of my room and headed to the dining room to join Miles.My mouth salivated as the aroma of food welcomed me downstairs."You're here... Come have a seat," Miles didn't cease to be the sweet husband that alw
Chapter 40May Walter POVThe sound of the knock on my door from outside caught my attention, and I paused brushing my teeth. I heard the knock a few times before the sound of door opening and closing followed suit. I needed no one to tell me that the person was Miles since he was the only one living here aside from his brother who of course must be at the hospital as usual by this time."Coming..." I found Miles seated on the bed when I walked inside. He stood up and smiled at me."Good morning, wife,""Hmm... Good morning. You are ready for office already? I guess I woke up late," I muttered the last part."How are you feeling now?""I'm much better. Uhm... I'm not going to take much time in the...""You don't have to worry about coming with me to the office today. I got a secretary, and also an assistant, so you can just rest at home since you are not feeling too well," He tucked his hands inside his pockets, looking straight at me."Oh!" I only mouthed, many thoughts flashed throu
Chapter 39"Are you sure she'll be fine, Doc?" Miles asked the doctor for the umpteenth time over the phone."Yes, Mr. Miles. All she need is a good rest, and she'll come out strong,""What about the baby? Are you sure the baby is fine also?""You have nothing to worry about. I would've told you if the baby was not fine, so it's nothing to worry about," He breathed out in relief after the doctor assured him."Thank you so much,""Alright. I got to go now," He breathed out again after the call ended, and sank his fingers into his hair while sitting on the edge of the bed. "What happened to her? Was she assaulted by that bastard again?" Even though the doctor already told him earlier that it wasn't an assault, he still thought maybe it was something of such, especially as Oscar escaped and was no longer under his custody.The sound of his ringing phone disrupted his thoughts, and he quickly reached for it and swiped the answer button when he saw that it was Miguel."Shoot!""Man, I'm a
Chapter 38Maybelline Walter POV"How are you feeling? Are you ok?" Miles held my hand and patted my hair with worries written all over me, but I only nodded. I couldn't bring myself to tell him about what happened. I had no idea how to go about it."Do you want to eat anything?" He squeezed my hand gently."No, I'm fine," I slowly shook my head, and he nodded.An awkward silence assumed the atmosphere. I placed my hand on my stomach, worried about my child. I wished I could see the doctor and probably had a chance to ask him if my baby was fine, but I couldn't."I'll be back shortly. Get some rest," He stood up from the bed and left. A few minutes later, fortunately, the doctor walked inside and I was glad that it wasn't Miguel since it was their hospital I was brought to."How are you feeling now?" He came to stand beside the bed I was lying on, and examined me briefly."I'm fine. How is my baby, doc? Is he fine?" I asked worriedly as I sat up on the bed. He looked at me and smiled.
