MAESin's eyes light up with surprise and delight as I kiss him. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me close as he deepens the kiss. I feel a rush of happiness and excitement as he places his hand over my waist pulling me to sit on his lap. As we pull away from the kiss, Sin smiles at me, his eyes shining with love and adoration. "I'm so glad you're mine, Mae," he says, his voice low and husky."I'm glad I'm yours too," I reply, my heart full of joy and gratitude. I can only imagine the lengths he must have gone to, to help me get all of these. Sin stares at me with a mischievous grin. He places his hand on my stomach, "So, what have you decided on?" he asks, his eyes sparkling with excitement.I raise an eyebrow, curious. "It's been barely an hour, I thought I had a day or two to think about it?" I ask smiling. "I have a feeling you have decided already.""Maybe, maybe not," I smile. "So, what is it?" He asks, anxious to know my reply. I remain silent, pretending to think abou
TWO YEAR LATERAs the sun peeked through the stained glass windows of the quaint church, casting a warm glow on the pews and aisle, an air of excitement and anticipation filled the atmosphere.Today was a special day for Sin and Mae, as they were about to embark on a journey of love and commitment in front of family and friends.The delicate scent of flowers wafted through the air, adorning every corner of the church with their vibrant colors.Soft music played gently in the background, setting the perfect mood for the upcoming union.As the guests started to fill the pews, their eyes filled with joy and enthusiasm at the sight of loved ones coming together to celebrate the union of Sin and Mae.On the groom's side, Ethan and some other extended family sat down while, Mr. Hayes and Mrs. Hayes soon came around when they heard of Mae's delivery, for the sake of their first grandchild Arthur Hayes they had decided to attend the ceremony.

SEQUEL BOOK TITLE: MR. CEO'S NAUGHTY BRIDE.BLURB :Aria Hayes works as an event planner for top clients in the city, her life is about to change when one of her clients offers her a deal to get pregnant for her son in exchange for a monthly allowance of one million.ARIA"Hi, you must be Miss Aria Hayes," the elderly woman smiles at me joining me at my table in the restaurant with a man behind her who I assume is her bodyguard from his outfit. She extends her hand for a handshake. I smile, nodding my head, and I stand up immediately taking her handshake. "It's so nice to meet you, Mrs. Wright, I was expecting you to send in your assistant."She smiles and takes her seat, not responding to my statement. I guess she must be in a hurry, I decide to go straight to the point and not waste her time, "So, what theme would you love for your 50th birthday? I am thinking we should go for a more neutral color," I say reaching for my notebook and file in my bag to show her my draft."Actually
ARIA"Really?" I ask, also trying to figure out if I know her as well. "Do you perhaps have any other details about her?" My mother questions still looking lost in thought."Yes, I do," I mutter, grabbing my bag to bring out the file on Mrs. Wright. I hand it over to my mother."Aria," My mother calls out my name looking at the file in her hand and going through it. The file contains a picture of Mrs. Wright and a little detail about the house she had asked to be decorated. "This is the mother of Noah Wright, the CEO of Wright Industries," my mother says, she looks at me waiting for me to say something but I can't seem to figure out what that means."Wright Industries? Doesn't that ring a bell," my mother asks, but I am still unable to figure out what she is driving at. She exhales seeing the puzzled look on my face, "Wright Industries had offered to buy out your father's company, have you forgotten so soon.""Ah, yes, yes," I remember now. My father's company, Hayes Tech, had been i
NOAHI open the file in front of me and open it for the third time just to be sure I am not making this up, I look up at the workers sitting patiently in the board meeting waiting for my review."Who made this draft and who approved this draft?" I question, leaning back into my seat and tossing the file forward unable to bring myself to go over it again. On the list of worst drafts, this would top my list for today. "Em, sir, I-I made the draft," one of the workers speaks up raising his trembling hands in the air briefly. "And um...I approved it, Sir," the marketing director speaks up. "I went over it, and believed it was good enough to." I raise an eyebrow, unimpressed by his words. "Good enough? This is a disaster. The numbers don't add up, the projections are unrealistic, and the marketing strategy is non-existent. This is not a draft, it's a joke." "Do you think I am a joke, Mr. John?" I ask the marketing director, my gaze locked on his. John swallows adjusting his glasses, "
NOAHThe next minute the door opens and Brian steps in with a beautiful young lady by his side, her long brown hair falling down her back like a waterfall, her green eyes fixed on mine and I can see determination, something I don't often see.It takes me a moment to stop staring at those eyes of hers, as the sound of her heels drags my attention to her outfit. A navy blue pant and a white blouse, her arm and her chest are exposed, but she looks professional and confident.She approaches me with a handshake, "Hi, you must be George Wright, I am Aria Hayes."George Wright? She is here to see George? Why? Brian moves forward about to speak, and properly introduce me to her but I throw him a warning glare. If she is here to see George then I might as well pretend to be George.I stand up and extend my hand taking hers, "Yes, I am George Wright," I reply. "To what do I owe this visit.""I came here to personally deliver the-""Please sit," I say gesturing her towards the chair next to mi
ARIAThe sound of my alarm nearly gives me a heart attack, I sit up on the bed immediately hitting the alarm clock and rubbing my eyes. 9 AM?I can't believe I overslept! I quickly get out of bed and start getting ready for the day. As I'm brushing my teeth, I can't help but think about the meeting with George Wright yesterday. I'm still trying to process everything that happened. The way he looked at me, the way he spoke to me, it was all so... intense. And that smirk at the end, made my heart race. I try to shake off the feeling, he is a married man for goodness sake Aria, what the hell are you thinking? I have a lot of work to do and I can't let yesterday's encounter distract me. I can't let my thoughts be clouded by images of a married man. I get dressed quickly and send a message to Stephanie that I am on my way and she should attend to whatever issue might arise before I get there. Hopefully, she doesn't get another intern to ruin my day like yesterday.The drive to the off
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,
NOAH"Can you make a reservation at the Haute Cuisine?" I ask, making a turn into the road leading to the cabin."Is it a business meeting, Sir?" Brian questions. "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
