MAYA

ONE WEEK LATER

Hot crimson liquid trickled down my belly as my eyes brimmed with tears; I couldn't get my mouth to move, to beg.

“Seems like you are of no worth to him. We should have gone for the other lady,” one of the men in a dark black suit states.

“This is a waste of time; the boss wanted him,” another said, tucking his gun back in his holster as he puffed angrily.

“Let's go,” the one who seems to be the leader commands, causing everyone to follow the order.

I am left standing by an alley, hands pressed to my belly trying by all means to protect.

“Mama got you, baby, please don't leave.” I whisper to my belly.

I know he can hear me, “Don't leave Mama, please. You are the only reason Mama is alive.” I plead with my baby, tears rushing down my eyes.

Coming back from work, I was cornered by some gangsters, they were airing an aura of kidnapping me.

I knew they must be sent. They must be sent by Erica. She had returned to the palace after our romantic trip and wanted t

    MAYA“Your highness, here is the security camera footage from outside Miss Erica’s apartment where your princess was attacked,” he informs, handing the iPad over. Oh so he heard about this and still pretends as though nothing is wrong? The frown on Donovan increased by tenfold as he hastily ripped through it. “Alfredo!!” he grits out, his brown orbs turning so dark. He snapped his head towards me, “You knew! You knew who they were. Why didn't you tell me?” He growls, his fist clenching. “I didn't think it mattered; besides, you didn't even bother to ask me how I was.” I couldn't help but snap. He turned to me. “Oh well, I am sorry for being busy.” Then turning over to the men, he continued. “And thank you for putting Erica’s life at risk.” He snarls, scraping his chair on the tiled floor. Without wasting a moment, he barges out, heading towards his car. We work in the same office; he is the CEO, while I am a mere assistant. Despite working in the same office, he can't let me g

    MAYA This is the first time he has ever spoken to me this way, not that I am complaining; he is way older than I am. “But why?” I groan, frustration clawing at my throat. I had left the office immediately after he signed the papers that we've separated. I came straight to the house to pack my things and head to the airport. I will be heading back to my home pack. Called my brother and told him I am coming home. He screamed in so much joy it brought tears to my eyes. “I want to come with you,” he states, digging his foot into the ground with his right hand tightly hiding my box. “What!!” I lash out, my body shaking at his words. “Why would you want to do that? I promise you I am not going to be lonely or depressed.” I press on, trying to let it sink in his head that Donovan isn't just enough to push me into depression. “I know that, but I still want to come with you,” he adds, shaking his head. All my days in this palace, Gordon has become my most favourite staff. He is the o

    MAYA“Dad just let it be.” I groan for the hundredth time. “I really don't get it. He was like your dad when you were in Vermont. Now you are in your hometown with your real dad so let him buzz off.” he barks, eyeing Gordon with contempt. I told mom in the kitchen that Gordon was like a dad to me abroad unfortunately dad was right outside which is resulting to this. “I really couldn't stay back even though I know she has lovely parents like the both of you. I just couldn't find myself serving someone else.” Gordon says, his eyes softening when he stares at me. “And why would that be huh? Weren't you already serving her boyfriend before she came along. Now she comes for a holiday, and you tag along.” Dad attacks yet again. I'd told them I have a boyfriend but was yet to reveal his identity to them. “I am not here for a holiday.” I say, lowering my head. Left with no choice I tell them about what really happened in Vermont. About his mistreatment, and cheating up to the separation

    MAYA “Shut the hell up, you idiot.” I throw a chip at Nate’s face. His chest rumbles with laughter as he darts out his tongue in a mock attempt to catch the chip. Which he failed on as the hips fell to the grass. “That's what I call wasting food,” he growls, glaring at me hard. I roll my eyes in return, “Oh well, not my fault you can't catch simple chips.” I grin at him. It's been two good days since I came back, and I have gotten more peace than I ever had in Donovan's palace. Though I won't say I am completely over my miscarriage, I am doing much better. “Oi!! Take a look at that.” I scream, pointing at a shooting star.“Quickly make a wish.” I gesture with my fingers, hurriedly crossing my fingers as I wish to fall in love again. I realised that I fell out of love with Donovan a long while ago; it wasn't the feeling of losing him that hurt. It was the feeling of losing what I worked so hard for, what I gave up so much for, that really hurt the most, not that I was leaving

    MAYA This isn't good. “I swear I am never telling you anything again ever.” I growl, stomping hard on Nate’s foot before marching to my room. “I really don't get why he would do that to me.” I growl, stomping my foot hard. “You need to understand that it's for your own good. I mean, if he could threaten your life, that means he will do it. Donovan must be dangerous, Maya.” Nate says, taking a sip from his drink. I left the house in anger because they kept plotting and planning how to kill Donovan. “Yeah, it's true. I just feel a little weird, that's all.” I wave off the topic. We had our girls day and blatantly refused Darios from tagging along. “I had such a nice time,” she grins, pressing my body into hers in a tight hug as we part ways. I fell on my bed so tired I immediately fell asleep. A strange movement stirs me awake. The hairs on my neck stand as a pleasurable chill runs down my blood. It's him. The unknown who keeps texting me, I usually feel him when I sleep, but

    MAYA “What right do you have to throw me out?”“I am Davis, I own this damn building so I have every right.” Davis snaps. I blanch at his words, finally believing it. I fell for my ex-fiance's rival. Oh my goodness!!! Why would he keep such from me? I asked him why and he lied. All these while those calls are the abrupt leaving, the ridiculous amount of guards he has in his home. I was so stupid. The signs were there. I just refused to see them because I trusted him. My heart aches all over again, this time it feels worse. “I am not leaving without my wife.” Donovan growls, putting his foot down. His wife, did he just call me his wife.I push my body forward, moving out of Davis’ back. “I am not your wife. We already signed the papers, it's over.” I bark, pointing my forefinger at him. “I am sorry baby for everything. Let's just get back together, and fix things.” he pleads, taking a step forward. “Don't you dare. You had five years to fix things, your time is expired now.

    DAVISI march my way into Maya's home, a grim line appearing in my forehead. The door opens before I get there. Nate walks me into their father's study. He is perched behind his table, gesturing for me to take the seat in front of the table which I do. “Thank you for listening to us first.” he starts, closing his laptop. “Oh stop that. You will be my in law one day, I can't be angry.” I say, causing him to cough while Nate’s frown increases. I meant every word. I am going to marry Maya one day, she just doesn't know it yet, and neither do they. “As I was saying. We didn't intercept your shipments. Not this one, not the other ones before this one.” he explains, pressing his fingers to his jaw as he strokes his beards. I have been getting my shipments intercepted for the past one week, and my source tells me that it is coming all from the Connor mafia men. “There have been missing shipments for a week now. It's beginning to grate my nerves at the moment.” I grit out, clenching m

    DAVIS“Stop this car right now,” I ordered, wiggling in my seat to try, and get the ropes out. “No. I am sorry baby for all that I put you through with but I need you now, my office is falling apart. Your office, the one you worked hard for. Surely you can't just leave it to collapse.” he says, his eyes glazing over to me. Huff. “My office? So it's my office now? My office, and I am the darn potential Beta huh?” I scream, jabbing my foot out again. “Stop it. STOP IT!!! YOU WILL CRASH US!!!!” he screams, sending his fist to my knee. “Ahh!!!” I scream out as pain shoots through my knees. “You won't take me anywhere.” I growl, finally freeing my tied up fist. “Maya, get down!!!”I don't think my body automatically moves forward as a bullet flies past me going straight into Donovan's head. Oh my God!!! I scramble up on the seat only to see the bastard driving towards a cliff, and the car is still moving. “Help!!!!!” I scream, jabbing at the windows. A black car comes into view

    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
