MAE

Jason's eyes flicker with a hint of amusement as he leans back in his chair. "Ah, straight to the point I see," he says with a chuckle. "Well, Mae, let's just say that your aunt and I go way back."

My curiosity piques, and I lean forward slightly. "How far back?" I ask.

Jason's smile widens, and he steeples his fingers in front of him. "Your aunt is a friend to my mum," he replies, his gaze never leaving mine. "We have been family friends for quite some while."

A sense of unease washes over me as I try to piece together the puzzle. How is that possible? I mean it's possible but how did I not know this? "You said you had something to tell me about my aunt, was this it?" I press, my voice laced with frustration hoping I didn't waste my time coming here.

Jason's expression turns serious, and he leans forward, his elbows resting on the table. "Your aunt came to us when your parents died, she wanted to make a deal with us," he says, his voice low and intense.

    MAEI sniff in wiping away the tears streaming down my cheeks with my hand, "I am alright," I manage to say, my voice barely audible. "Are you sure?" Ryder asks staring at me, he reaches out to touch me but he places his hand to the side."Just take me home," I mutter heading towards the car. "Yes ma'am," he nods rushing to open the car door for me. I slide into the back seat as Ryder closes the door, he circles the car and gets into the driver's seat. "Are you sure you are okay Ma'am?" Ryder asks again looking at me through the rearview mirror with a worried look. "Did someone there say anything to you? All you have to do is point them out and I promise you I will handle the situation." As much as I would enjoy him beating Jason up, I don't think I need that sort of attention right now. They already think I am broke, to hear of me beating up my ex will be worse."No, it's fine, Ryder," I lie meeting his worried eyes in the rearview mirror. "Just take me home, please."He nods, hi

I am not in the mood for any of this right now."It depends, I could buy you a -""Get lost," Ryder interrupts him."Hey mister I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the young lady, and she-" The man suddenly stops talking as Ryder opens his suit slightly showing him a gun tucked in his pants. "I-I am sorry to interrupt," the man stutters walking away. I watch the man before staring back at Ryder and I don't know if I should laugh or be worried. Why does he have a gun?I take a sip from my drink staring at Ryder through my lashes, "You have a gun?" Ryder's eyes meet mine, the faintest hint of a smile playing on his lips. "I do," he admits. "It's just a precaution and as you can see it works."I nod slightly, understanding his reasoning. My father used to have a gun when he was alive, although he never used it.I take another sip of my drink, feeling the burn as it slides down my throat. "So," Ryd

    SINWhen Ryder messaged me to inform me that she insisted on going to the club, I assumed she just wanted to relax. No harm in that but as I make my way into my car to head home, he sends a picture of her dancing in the club CLEARLY drunk.What the hell is she up to I thought to myself as I made my way to the club quickly. She stumbles slightly, trying to find her balance as the alcohol starts to hit her harder. Her pupils are dilated and a crooked smile graces her lips "I...I was just dancing," she slurred out.My grip on her waist tightens, and anger consumes me at her words, "You think it's a good idea to get wasted and dance with random guys in a club?" I growl, my voice low and dangerous.She tries to pull away from him, but my hold on her is too strong. "I was just trying to have fun, Sin," she protested, a look of defiance crossing her face. My jaw clenches, and I lean closer to her. "You're mine, Mae. I don't want to see you behaving like this in public," I state firmly, her

    SINMy eyes flicker open at the sound of a knock on the door. I groan taking a glance at Mae, she is still sleeping soundly in my arms. Wait! Did I sleep off? I raise my hands to check the arm and realization hits me that it's past ten. I have never slept off this deep, never! And with a woman by my side. How did this happen? All I wanted to do was help her get some sleep. The knock falls on the door again louder this time. Not wanting to wake Mae up, I gently extract myself from the bed laying her head on the pillow, and approach the door.With a wary twist of the knob, I stare at Victoria as the door opens."Honestly Victoria it's too early to want to fire you," if there are any rules I have given her, it's that she should never disturb me. "I am sorry, Mr. Hayes, I didn't mean to disturb you," she says bowing her head. "Your brother is here. I tried to explain to him that you were busy and wouldn't want to be disturbed but he said it's urgent."I knew Ethan was bound to reach o

    SIN “For now I will appreciate it if you do not inform her of the current situation. I am sure you both might meet each other in the hospital,” I say. If there has been foul play, it will be best to play along until I am certain of who is behind all of this. If Mae finds out the truth, I doubt she will be able to keep it away from Lily. "What if it gets really bad? What if her presence is urgently needed and she isn't there." "Then call me, I will sort it out," I inform him. "I don't think this is a good idea, Mae deserves to know," he says shaking his head in a sign of no. "She will, but not now. I want to be -" A scream from inside suddenly fills the penthouse and takes the words out of my mouth as my eyes widen in fear, I stand on my feet knowing that it is Mae's voice. "Who is that?" Ethan panics also getting on his feet. "It's nothing, I have a guest. Just find out the information I need," I say to him as Victoria also races into the living room. "You can make the h

    MAEMy lips part, but I am unable to say anything.He leans forward grabs me by my hair and pulls me closer to him until our faces are inches apart. He looks into my eyes, a mischievous look evident on his face."But I won't touch you until you are sober up," he mutters. "I want you to feel every pain, every thrust, every touch, and remember it all over and over again with a clear head."I feel my body tremble underneath his hold as his words sink in. I try to push him away, but he tightens his grip on my hair, yanking me forward and making me wince in pain."You are hurting me," I groan."This is nothing compared to what I will do to you, and do you know the interesting part princess? You will love every bit of it," he chuckles looking at me intensely, his lips curling up into a sinister smile. I swallow as I try not to avoid his gaze, to look unfazed by his words but my eyes slowly drop from his eyes to his lips. My mind raced to the bathroom when we kissed and how his lips felt o

    MAEBut he doesn't respond. I shake my head in frustration, knowing there is no way I can get out of this.What have I gotten myself into? It's too early for this I sigh laying my head back in bed and placing my hand over my forehead. But deep down, a part of me can't help but feel a hint of excitement at the thought of being alone with him, wearing nothing but an apron.How would he react to me walking around his house naked?Despite the embarrassment and guilt of last night, there is a flutter of anticipation in my stomach at the thought of being so vulnerable in his presence.He didn't need to admit that he would enjoy this, I could see it in his eyes but, what is stopping me from also enjoying this? No. I can't be thinking this way, not after touching myself the other day in front of him and watching him walk out on me. But what if he didn't just walk out on me, what if he was turned on and unable to control himself?Maybe I can use this opportunity to find out what he thinks ab

    SIN"It won't be bad to have you clean more often," I tease taking a step closer to her. Her eyes widen in surprise at my words, unsure of how to respond. But I can see the hint of a smile tugging at the corner of her lips."Is that so, Mr. Hayes?" she replies, a playful glint in her eyes.I smirk, "Maybe if you do it well, I will have to fire Victoria and have you replace her full-time."She smiles and takes a step closer, places her hand on my chest, and leans in closer to my ear. her boldness surprises me but I find myself leaning into her touch, captivated by her presence. "And what would be my salary, Mr. Hayes?" she whispers, her breath warm against my ear.A smile tugs at the corner of my lips as she leans back biting her bottom lips playfully, staring at me for an answer to her question.I catch the playful look in her eyes, and something inside me stirs, is she trying to seduce me? The thought of her trying only makes me smile internally.My hand moves to the small of her bac

    NOAH"Noah, I know what happened. I remember everything. And I know you saved my life. But that doesn't give you the right to leave me without a word. To break our engagement and walk away. You need to understand, I thought we had something real. Something worth fighting for," she says, her voice cracking with emotion.I nod, feeling a pang of regret. Of course, what we had was real, I sent her 500 million without batting an eye, all I wanted at that moment was her and it still is, but I..."Aria, I know I made a mistake. I owe you an explanation. I just... I don't want you to get hurt because of me, I don't want your parents to..." Aria closes the distance between us placing her hand on my cheeks, I feel the warmth of her hand zapping away the frustration and anger building up inside of me from what had happened that day and how things could have turned out worse."So, what? You are going to be a coward by allowing Melissa to get into your head.""She killed two women I was involved

    NOAHI thought falling in love was complicated, no, it's loving them from a distance that is quite complicated, seeing them and being unable to hold them, touch them, or even talk to them.I've been away for two weeks, trying to clear my head and make sense of everything. The investigation, Melissa's arrest, Aria's coma... it's all been too much. I know I shouldn't have left without talking to Aria, but I couldn't bear the thought of hurting her more than I already have. I've been watching her from afar, making sure she's safe and recovering well. But now, as I'm back in town, I know I will need to face her soon. As I step towards my car at the airport, I'm bombarded by reporters. "Noah, how does it feel to be back?" "Noah, what's your response to the allegations?" "Noah, are you dating anyone new?" I ignore them and rush to my car, but one of their questions strikes a nerve in me, "Do you think Melissa will have the new person in your life killed?"I turn to stare at the reporter

    ARIA"Where is Noah? Is this a joke because I do not find it funny," it's been one month, one fucking month, and the first thing he decides to do instead of being right here with me, holding my hands and comforting me is to run away and give them some stupid rule over what? "What did I do? If anyone should be keeping any distance, it should be me, his psycho friend tried to kill me," I yell."A lot of Noah's flings have all suffered their fair share, Melissa has been secretly fucking up their life. The moment she finds out they are involved with Noah," Arthur explains. "The investigation found out that two of the girls died, they were able to trace it back to Melissa," he adds.I feel a chill run down my spine as I process this information. Noah's flings? How many girls has he been involved with? Two of them are dead? And all this happened while I was in a coma.My mind is racing with questions, but before I can ask any of them, Arthur drops another bombshell."Melissa had the inten

    ARIAThey say a near-death experience is different for everyone, I have read that some people wake up not remembering anything leading to their accident. The last thing I remember is seeing Noah's face before blacking out, but the memories are still sharp in my head.I wake up to the beeping of machines and the antiseptic smell of a hospital, which I hate. I try to sit up, but a sharp pain in my stomach makes me wince. I look down to see my stomach is bandaged, I look around, disoriented, and see my mother sitting in a chair beside my bed, her eyes red and puffy from lack of sleep.She gasps as she sees me awake and trying to sit up, "Aria, my child, you are awake, you are awake" she yells standing on her feet, relief washing over her face.I try to speak, but my voice is hoarse and barely audible. My mother rushes out of the room and I can hear her screaming at the top of her lungs for the doctors to come, she soon comes back in with not only the doctor but my dad and Arthur. "Ari,

"I can have it set for -""It's a date Brian, not a business meeting," I interrupt him, parking the car right in front of the cabin. For a second the phone goes silent on the other end, Brian probably wondering why I am having a date in an expensive restaurant downtown and canceling my schedule for the day."A d-date?" Brian finally says stuttering. "I mean yes Sir," he says and I am sure he is already scribbling away on his note. He has always had a thing with jotting every single word I say, well it has always been useful for him especially since I love my things done almost to perfection. "A date at Haute Cuisine tonight, what menu are we looking at?" "Do not place an order?" I am not sure what Aria would like, it will be best if she makes the order instead. Anything she orders is fine by me as long as I get to look at h

    ARIAMelissa stands in the doorway, a stern expression on her face. "Well, what do we have here?" she says, her voice firm but polite. What the hell is she doing here and how did she get in? Did Noah not close the door? I am sure he wouldn't have made that mistake, to keep the door open."What the hell are you doing here and how did you get in?" I ask, my voice getting loud with each word.Melissa chuckles and walks into the room, her eyes scanning the space as if searching for something. "I have a spare key, what? Did you think you are the only one Noah has brought to this cabin?"Rolling my eyes, I kiss my teeth not answering her question, it doesn't matter who has been here before. Although, I am jealous of the idea of him sharing this space with another woman, but he has made it clear that I am all he needs in his life and that is enough for me. "Anyways," she continues. "I wanted to see Noah, I have been trying to reach him since last night but he wasn't picking up my calls."O

    ARIA"This should fit just fine," Noah says handing me one of his T-shirts from the wardrobe, I don't know how he convinced me to spend the night in the cabin, if anything I should be heading home to be alone, and think about the proposal but I want to be here with him. Whenever I am with him, every other thing seems meaningless. Noah had suggested spending the night at his house first, but I was against it, at least for now. His mother would just have us married at sight, if anyone wants us paired together other than Noah, it's her.I put the towel on the hanger and wear the T-shirt over my head, the T-shirt fits like a dress, big and just above my knee. I check my face in the mirror, packing my hair into a ponytail before leaving the bathroom. I am not surprised when I find Noah in his pajamas standing by the door waiting patiently for me to come out. His eyes light up the moment I step out, his eyes falling from my face to his T-shirt on my body. "Noah, you're staring," I say, t

    NOAHDammit!I have placed her in a spot, look at her eyes, I can see the desire to say yes, but also the confusion at how soon this is all happening. I knew I should have waited a bit, but I don't think I can.The thought of someone else and not me being her life is going to completely wreck me. I always have this ring, it has been in the family for ages, all I had to do was ask my mother for it. She was stunned when I asked, "Are you sure Noah? I mean I am happy you are finally asking for the ring, but are you sure you want it?" She asked."Aria, you don't have to say anything right now," I say, not wanting to get rejected. Her rejection will hurt more than her silence. "How about you think about it? I don't want to pressure you into anything okay?" I say holding her hand and placing the ring in her hand. "Y-You want me to think about it, while I hold on to the ring?" She stutters. "That's a lot of pressure Noah, and... And this ring looks like a family heirloom."Of course, she d

    ARIA"So, what's it with you and this cabin?" I ask as he offers me a glass of wine before joining me on the couch. "Do you bring all your girlfriends here?" "Girlfriend?" He chuckles taking a sip from his wine glass. "I don't do girlfriends Aria, you are the first."First? I don't know if I should believe that or not. "The cabin is just a safe space for me, away from everyone," he continues."Well, the reason I wanted us to meet was because of my parents," I begin, taking a sip from my drink. He raises an eyebrow, " Your parents? Are they fine?""Yeah, they are but my dad suspects foul play, he thinks someone might be on to him and my mum. He said the accident was caused by the brake failure," I explain. "He wants his recovery with that of my mother hidden for now, he hopes this will hopefully lure out whoever is behind it."Noah takes a sip of his drink, nodding his head, "You want me to hide seeing him and your mother?""Yeah, for now of course," I say."You know, you could have
