MAYAIt felt like cold water had been dumped in my head as I wrenched myself off him with so much speed I am not sure how I am standing.Yet it was too late as Alicia already took a picture of us as evidence. “I knew you were a whore from the onset.” Julia’s words slice through me as she tugs at my hair. I scream, earning a hard slap from her. My palms went to my face as I held it with care, tears running freely down my eyes. What is happening? I don't even understand one minute I was fine, then the next was so horny I couldn't control myself. “Whore!!!” They chanted as they threw disgusting things at me. An iron spoon hits my forehead, the flesh splits open as blood begins to pump out. “You slut!!!! Just because they looked alike doesn't mean he is interested in your worn out core. Some men actually have standards” “No, you all are getting it mixed up. She was drunk, she probably thought it was Donovan and not me.” Davis tried to explain. “Oh shut up, you barely know her lik
MAYADonovan stared at me with total disbelief. He didn’t know what I had to go through with this family.He didn’t know the pains that came with staying by his side yet he casted me away when all the evidence seemed too much for a mistake.So I can’t stay here anymore, not with his lack of trust, and not with any of the cruel pack members.I rise off the floor running away to pack my things.One thing I know for sure is that I shall have my vengeance. I will find out who is behind this, and make them pay.I knew Julia, and Alicia was aware of this. Hell they planned it, and I stupidly thought they had changed.I am so gullible, I let people step on me, and treat me like trash.I didn’t deserve any of this evil. I stuffed my bag, and walked out of the r
MAYA“Hello Donovan.” I said with my lips curved in a crooked smile.“Hi, can I come in?” he asked, his fingers itching the back of his neck.I spread the door open, and moved to the side granting him entrance.He steps in, his eyes darting around the place quickly before landing back on me.“Nice place.” he murmured, biting his lips.I snorted.I step around him, and sit on my only couch, “You may sit on the floor.”I gestured towards the tiled floor.He looked horrified, but he didn't say a word as he settled on the floor.Desperate.“So, why are you here?” I questioned, a bit irritated by his large body in my small room.He made the pla
MAYAI woke up feeling extremely great, revenge has never felt better. He deserved it, they all deserve what’s coming for them. I went about my business, finalizing the house I rented in the countryside as immediately I was done with Cheryl. I am moving there for a fresh start. A new place where no one knows me or will find me. A place away from Donovan. I couldn't bring myself to plot his downfall because seeing his heart broken face will break me even further. Maybe someday when I am all healed I can, but not yet. Today is the most difficult of all my plans. I checked my outfit one last time, black jeans paired with black top. The phone is safely tucked beneath my blouse. Glancing at my watch. 6:30pm.I decided to let her arrive first so I can bask in the shock on her face. Donovan hadn’t tried to contact or come find me again since then. Something I am really grateful for, I didn’t have energy to chase him off every time. I push open the door to Origins cafe, the bell abo
DONOVAN My heart beats faster as I listen to their conversation. Each sentence tore my heart to shreds. So, this was what she went through in the hands of my people, my mother, that godforsaken Julia. I can't believe I never noticed. I'm so horrible. And even after everything they did she still stayed. She never complained nor did she show the sign of how she was being treated. She took it all, and stayed with me yet I went ahead, and believed them over her. I regret letting her go, I have since the moment she walked out, but I was just so consumed in my anger. Now that I am knowing the truth, my heart squeezes tighter in pain. I can't believe this.. My eyes darken as Cheryl refused to answer who the father of the child was. Lord help me if I am not the father of that child I will squeeze life out of her. She caused so much havoc in our relationship even though we tried not to show it, it was always there. Alicia, over there, knew I wasn't the father yet she couldn't treat my
MAYA My eyes flutter open. It's yet another day without him, another of thinking about how he looked for the last time before I disappeared. Didn't you think of how this would affect me. I wanted that child too. Those words stuck with me since that day, it's been a month now, and yet I remember them clearly. The one thing that shows that our relationship was doomed from the start. He wanted children, I couldn't have them. That's the power your mind has over you. When you let a thought fester it grows so much that you begin to believe it, and see it as a reality even if it isn't true. Now I can't even bring myself to find out. What is the use anyway? It's not like I am ever going to get married or fall in love again. I left Vermont, and no one knows me here, there is slim to no chance that we would meet again. Even if we did meet, I am not willing to give my heart to him again. Relationships are full of obstacles, and if he could easily believe them over me what makes me belie
MAYA I stare in absolute amazement at the sight in front of me. Donovan stands in all his gorgeous glory, his hair falling over his left eyes. Be is dressed in formal wear. His white suit shone in the midst of everything, his left arm carried a gold wristwatch, adorned with a silver necklace. He looks breathtaking, mouthwatering and delicious. Stop right there…. You have to move on from him. You can’t bear him as a child. It’s like a bucket of cold water is poured over me as all the attraction front earlier goes with the wind. Regaining my composure I asked, “How did you find me?” His fingers itched behind his ear awkwardly. “I kicked my sister away from the palace with all the maids. They live here now. Every single person that bullied you was dealt with, I scolded my mom and warned her to leave you. Alicia is serving her time in the dungeon.” he said, his fist clenching at the mention of Alicia.“But isn’t she with a child? Don’t you think throwing her in the dungeon is too
MAYAFEW HOURS LATER “Oi!!! That makes no sense, you looked like an elephant, and a fish at once.” I scream, laughing like a maniac as I bounce in my seat happily. I had taken just three shots of tequila, and I was already dazed. I knew what I was doing but I couldn't control it. We were playing a game called guess the animal. “You are failing miserably my love.” Donovan said. I wasn’t his love, but it felt nice to hear so I let it slide. “That was a bird, Maya, you suck at this game. I am heading home, bye guys.” Davis presses his arms on the couch, using it to push himself up. "!!!!” I scream, waving happily as I giggled. "Oh boy, you are so drunk.” Donovan said, pulling me up. He wraps one arm around my back, and the other around my leg as he lifts me up in a bridal style. His perfume smells amazing. I don't know where the boldness comes from. I don't know if it’s the perfume or the alcohol or the fact that I just miss him so much. “Let's have sex Donovan.” I said, my
MAYA I sat in my hospital bed, feeling a mix of emotions swirling inside me. Cheryl stood beside me, her expression stern but concerned."Maya, you need to apologize to him," she said, her voice firm but gentle. "You were really harsh on him, and he didn't deserve that."I shook my head, feeling a surge of defiance. "No, I won't apologize," I said, my voice firm. "He cheated on me, Cheryl. He broke my trust, and I'll never forgive him for that."Cheryl's expression softened, and she placed a hand on my arm. "Maya, maybe he didn't cheat on you," she said, her voice hesitant. "Maybe there's more to the story than you think. You need to talk to him, confront him about what happened."I felt a pang of uncertainty, but I pushed it aside. I was hurt, and I wasn't ready to listen to his excuses. "No, Cheryl," I said, my voice firm. "I don't want to talk to him. I don't want to see him. He's dead to me."Cheryl sighed, her expression worried. "Maya, please reconsider," she said. "You're not t
DONOVAN I stood there, my mind reeling with confusion and anger. What was Maya's problem? Why was she attacking me like this? I thought we had been making progress, that we were finally starting to understand each other. But now, it seemed like she was determined to tear me down.I felt a surge of anger rise up inside me, but I pushed it down, trying to keep my cool. I didn't want to escalate the situation, didn't want to make things worse. But it was hard, so hard, when Maya was being like this.I looked at her, trying to understand what was going on behind those beautiful, angry eyes. But all I saw was a deep-seated hurt and anger, a sense of betrayal that I didn't understand.I felt a pang of sadness, knowing that I had somehow let her down. But I had no idea what I had done, or how to fix it. All I knew was that I wanted to help her, to make things right between us.But as I looked at Maya, I realized that I was at a loss. I didn't know how to reach her, how to get through to her
MAYAAs I lay in the hospital bed, I could see the concern etched on Cheryl's face. She had been sitting with me for a while, trying to lift my spirits, but I could tell that she was feeling sad. I didn't know what was wrong, but I could sense that something was bothering her.Just then, Donovan walked up to us, a look of concern on his face. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked Cheryl, noticing that she looked upset.Cheryl hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I think I need to give you two some space," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.I felt a pang of anxiety at her words. I didn't want her to leave. "No, stay," I said, trying to sound calm.But Cheryl just shook her head. "I think it's for the best," she said, standing up to leave.Donovan looked confused, unsure of what was going on. "Maya, what's wrong?" he asked, turning to me.But I just shook my head, unable to explain. I didn't know why I was acting this way, but I just felt like I needed to push everyone away. It was
DONOVAN "Mr. Donovan, the test results are in," he said, his voice serious. "Maya is running a very high fever, which is causing her a lot of discomfort. Additionally, the cut on her forehead is quite deep, which is contributing to the severe migraine she's experiencing."I felt a wave of concern wash over me. A high fever and a deep cut? It sounded serious. "What does this mean for her recovery?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.The doctor hesitated before responding. "We'll need to keep a close eye on her fever and make sure it doesn't spike again. We'll also need to monitor the cut and make sure it doesn't become infected. But overall, with proper care and treatment, Maya should be able to make a full recovery."I nodded, feeling a mix of relief and worry. I was glad to hear that Maya would be okay, but I was also concerned about the road to recovery ahead of her. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I was determined to be there for her every step of the way."Can I see her now
MAYA I lay in the hospital bed, feeling weak and drained. Cheryl sat beside me, her face etched with concern. "Hey, sweetie, how are you feeling?" she asked, taking my hand in hers.I tried to smile, but it felt more like a grimace. "I've been better," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.Cheryl nodded sympathetically. "You're going to be okay, Maya. You just need to rest and get your strength back."I glanced down at the drip in my arm, feeling a slight sting as the medication flowed into my veins. "I guess so," I said, feeling a bit helpless.Cheryl smiled and squeezed my hand. "I'm going to get you something to eat, okay? What would you like?"I thought for a moment, my stomach growling with hunger. "Just a cup of tea, please," I said, my voice a bit stronger now.Cheryl nodded and stood up. "I'll go get that for you. And maybe some toast or crackers, okay?"I nodded, feeling a bit more hopeful. Maybe, just maybe, I was going to be okay after all.As Cheryl handed me the c
DONOVAN As I sat by Maya's bedside, I couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and relief wash over me. She had finally woken up, and I was grateful to be by her side.I had been visiting her every day since she was admitted, bringing her favorite flowers each time. The hospital room was now filled with a colorful collection of blooms, and I had taken to arranging them in a vase by her bedside table. It was a small gesture, but it made me feel like I was doing something to help her feel more comfortable.As I gazed at Maya's face, I couldn't help but think about how much I loved her. I knew I had made mistakes in the past, but I was determined to make things right between us.I reached out and took Maya's hand in mine, feeling a sense of warmth and connection. I had been so scared of losing her, and now that she was awake, I felt like I had been given a second chance."Maya, I'm so glad you're awake," I said, my voice filled with emotion. "I've been so worried about you. I love you, and
MAYA I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. I was met with a blur of white coats and scrubs, and the faint smell of antiseptic. As my vision cleared, I saw that I was surrounded by three personnel - two nurses and a doctor, I assumed. They were all staring at me with concerned expressions, their eyes scanning my face as if searching for something.I tried to speak, but my voice came out hoarse and barely audible. I cleared my throat, trying again. "Where… where am I?" I managed to croak.The doctor, a kind-looking woman with a gentle smile, stepped forward. "You're in the hospital, Maya," she said softly.I frowned, trying to recall. But my memories were hazy, fragmented. I remembered arguing with Donovan, feeling angry and hurt. And then… nothing.I shook my head, feeling a wave of fear wash over me. What had happened to me? How had I ended up here?The doctor's expression turned reassuring. "Don't worry, Maya. You're safe now. We're going to take good care of
DONOVAN As I sat there, trying to catch my breath and calm my emotions, I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt that was suffocating me. I kept replaying the events of the past few days in my head, wondering what I could have done differently to prevent this from happening.Why had I been so distant and cold towards Maya? Why had I let our relationship deteriorate to the point where she felt like she was walking on eggshells around me? Why had I not been more supportive, more understanding, more loving?The more I thought about it, the more I blamed myself for what had happened to Maya. If only I had been a better husband, a better partner, maybe she wouldn't be lying in that hospital bed right now.I felt like I was drowning in a sea of regret and self-doubt. I couldn't forgive myself for my mistakes, for my shortcomings. I felt like I had failed Maya, like I had let her down when she needed me most.As I sat there, consumed by my guilt and regret, I knew that I had to find a way
DONOVAN I paced back and forth in the hospital waiting room, my mind racing with thoughts of Maya's condition. I couldn't shake the image of her lying on the floor, her hair matted with blood.Finally, after what felt like an eternity, a doctor emerged from the treatment room. I rushed over to him, my heart pounding with anticipation."Doctor, what's going on?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. "What's wrong with Maya?"The doctor's expression was sympathetic, but his words were guarded. "I'm afraid we can't say for certain yet," he said. "We're running some tests, and we'll need to wait for the results before we can determine the extent of her injuries."I felt like I was losing my mind. "What do you mean you can't say for certain?" I pressed. "Can't you tell me anything?"The doctor shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr...?" He paused, looking at me expectantly."Donovan," I supplied."Mr. Donovan, I understand your concern, but we need to wait for the test results before we can gi
