MAVERICK

“Why would I? I feel a little guilty, though. After what you’ve been through from what he did, you still cooked and baked for him, and that is something only a good heart could pull off without throwing the whole apple pie in his face. I gave my father a chance, not entirely, but you know what I mean. You should do it, too.”

“Wait. You baked apple pie?” Beatreigh asked in surprise.

“Yeah. She did, and that’s my breakfast this morning,” Lake said proudly to his mother.

“Now, I’m jealous.”

“Don’t be, Bea.”

“Well, we can have dinner, all four or five, if your father’s new girlfriend will join us.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea, mom.”

I gripped Lake’s thigh under the table. “It’s a good idea. I want to put all that negative energy behind me. I want to be on good terms with your father and his girlfriend now that I’m pregnant. I want to walk freely and eat ice cream in the park without thinking of threats or someone throwing tea on my face.”

Lake sighed and nodded.

“Really?” I a

    LAKE“I trust you will take good care of the company and our staff, Rusher.” I signed the document appointing him as the temporary CEO of IMI.“I don’t know if I should be offended or grateful.” He grabbed a pen, scribbled down his signature, and gave me back the document.I chuckled. “You can appoint a COO yourself. I highly suggest Finch.”“I was thinking the same person, mate.”“Good. I have to go.” I rose from my chair and buttoned my suit.“Sorry to hear about your father. I wish him a fast recovery, and I’m glad you two are on good terms now.”“We’re testing the water, but it still feels surreal, and we managed to end the day without punching each other’s face. A few weeks ago, I was shouting at him and accusing him of something horrible.”“Maybe I deserved that money, mate.” He grinned.“Work your ass off.”“My arse works hard than you, arsehole.”“Really?” I stared at him until he barked out laughing.“Okay. Fair enough. You work harder than me. Now go. Good luck, mate. See yo

    MAVERICKHe sunk inside me with a shuddering groan, stopping when it felt right, when it felt too much, tracing kisses on my exposed shoulder towards my neck and my hair, inhaling my scent.I inhaled a deep breath as I felt him. I felt so connected to him that I could feel his emotions like we were one soul, with no barriers between us, just our love and devotion. Then I reached out to him as I turned my head to kiss him.He granted me with a moan as our mouths sealed in a searing, vulnerable kiss. Then he rocked into me. I cracked my eyes open, and he looked at me as we made love. It was beautiful, and I watched him mesmerize.He pulled out, laid me on my back, and came on top of me. I moved my hand behind his neck, burying my fingers in his hair, and he dipped his head to kiss me and slid his length back inside me, thrusting into me with precise precision, no rush, not hard, just us taking our time, cherishing the moment.We moaned and sighed as it felt right and perfect.We moved t

    LAKE“What the fuck is going on, Dad?” I quickly fastened my seatbelt the moment the pilot made an announcement.“I have no idea. Turbulence?” He did the same, and Aurelia did too.“Are we turning?” she asked. I could hear the fear in her voice.“We’re going higher? I thought we were going to land right now.” Something was wrong. I instantly felt the chill in my body.My heart pumped harder as I closed my eyes to pray. If the jet had had an emergency landing, the pilot could have just told us, but that seemed not to be the case. The jet flew smoothly when we left New York.After ten minutes of silence, and the jet was high enough, Dad quickly pressed the button.“Are you okay, Dad?” I looked over my shoulder. Aurelia was pale. “Just take a deep breath.” I pulled up the window shield, quite the opposite of what was supposed to be done.“What are you doing, Lake?”“One way to find out what’s going on— what the fuck?” I stared in disbelief at the Hover fighter jet flying with us. “Is tha

    LAKEWe arrived at the hospital. After a few tests, the head of Oncology had my father’s file and took us to the conference room. They had the report of the Colonoscopy, some tests like PET scan, an MRI, and the biopsy done back home. They compared and explained to us in layman’s terms.“I want to be direct to you. There’s no need to sugarcoat it. You have stage IIB adenocarcinoma of the colon. The two doctors you went to for consultations are right. The cancer cell has grown to a small area of the wall of your colon and tissues, but it hasn’t metastasized to other organs. That’s why you’re experiencing some symptoms. The good thing is it can be treated through surgery and chemotherapy. There’s a huge chance you’ll be cancer-free within five years unless you will stay untreated.”“We will do the surgery and chemotherapy,” I answered quickly before my dad could reply. I didn’t know why he had to wait until it got worse.The doctor was patiently waiting for my father’s response.“Dad?”

    MAVERICK“Oh, my God.” I ran towards Lake, who just climbed down from the jet, and threw myself at him.“Maverick.” He caught and lifted me up, and I wrapped my arms and legs around him.“God, I can finally breathe,” I said and kissed him on the lips.“I should travel more often.” He kissed me back. “I missed you, baby.”“I missed you, too.” I slowly got my feet on the ground and then hugged him again.Wallace and Aurelia went in a different car while we were heading home.“So, where’s my Bannock?”He smiled, pressing his lips against mine. “I did not forget it.”“Good, or you will be sleeping in the other room.”“Really?” His brow raised humorously.“Yeah.”“How’s your day?” he asked as he kissed my hand.“Better than yours, I guess.”“How’s our baby?”“Good. What about your dad?”“He’ll have his surgery here. His doctor from Toronto will be here tomorrow morning, and he asked something from you.”“Of course, what is it?” I looked at him in the eye.“He wants forgiveness.”A genuine

    MAVERICKI didn’t care, though. I liked his wild side and soft side. As he nibbled on my earlobe, I shuddered and clung to him, riding him hard, squeezing my pussy around his cock.“Fuck. You need to come now, beautiful.” He growled into my ear, voice rough and raw, his hard breathing sending shivers down my spine. I rode him again and rolled my hips, sliding up and down until I started to clamp around him.“God!” I threw my head back and came so hard. My body jerked as it kept going on and on.We lay down for a while with me wrapped in his arms, my head resting on his chest as I listened to his frantic heartbeat.“Baby, I have something to tell you.” I felt the heaviness in his voice, and it sounded important.“Of course, what is it.”“I shot someone.”I lifted my head and stared at him. Guilt was so deep in his eyes. “When?”He exhaled heavily. “I did it because Giosue’s man was about to shoot your father’s man.”“Wait. It’s been months, Lake. This must have been hard for you, keepi

    LAKEAfter hours of convincing my father to do his surgery, it was finally a successful ordeal, but now he has changed his mind. He wanted to meet Gaetano first before his operation.Dad was the most stubborn man I’d ever met, and even I, his son, couldn’t stop him, so Gaetano traveled all the way here to meet him.We’d arranged a safe and neutral place at the country club luxury cigar lounge in case someone would crash the party and betray us. I believed Terzo, though, that his father needed a secret alliance with my father.“Dad, just don’t provoke him. He hates arrogance.”“I know, son. Don’t worry.” He patted my back as we reached the door. A man in a suit and tie opened the two-door wide.We entered the dark wood-decorated room, which featured a classic chandelier hanging low, rich leather seats, a shelf of top-rated Cuban cigars, a dark oak table with a cutter and ashtray, and a tray of ten-year-old whisky with glasses.Uncle Moses was already there with Gaetano and Terzo.

    LAKE“It doesn’t matter, Moses, as long as my son and his wife are safe.” He sighed heavily. “I shouldn’t have done what I did. I was so filled with anger that I couldn’t control my son.”I drew a deep breath and felt better with his admission. “What done is done, Dad.”“If I can’t pay off the father, I might have to do something you all might not like. I don’t want what happened days ago will happen again. I’ll make a deal with Francesco. I will tell you as soon as I have arranged a meeting with him.”“What can we do, papa?”“Nothing, son.” He looked at Terzo. “Do you know he has a beautiful daughter?”Terzo’s facial expression darkened. “What does it have to do with me?”“Maybe you should settle down, Terzo. Your sisters have gotten married.”“No way.” With a deep frown between his eyebrows, he shook his head harshly and put back the cigar into his lips. And then he said something in Italian.“Show some respect, Terzo. They may not understand what you said, but they are our guests.”

    TERZOThe thick wooden doubled-door swung open to my father’s office. It was one of the biggest rooms in the house where business was discussed and where the most secured safe and panic room were situated, where he kept his most valuables.I was assaulted by the scents of cedar wood and expensive cigars hung thick in the air.I let go of a shuddering breath as I stepped inside. Gaetano Siciliano, the patriarch of the family, the Don— one of the most powerful and feared heads of the mafias in Italian history— my father was sitting in his chair before his massive desk. His thick brows knitted together, hanging low over his dark caramel eyes and gray hair cut stylishly. In his sixties, he was still fit, strong, and could beat me in the ring if he desired to, but he always humbly said his prime was over.“Figlio.”“Come va, papa?”Papa nodded in acknowledgment. “Come in. How’s your sister?”Standing in the left corner that caught my eye was Celestina, my other beautiful sister who had bee

    MAVERICKI smiled as we finally had time for each other. Atlas just fell asleep.Lake cupped my face and traced my lips with his thumb. “Thank you for making me complete, the happiest man on this planet, and for being my wife.”My heart exploded with his words with so much joy. “Ditto. Now, no more talking. Just get rid of your clothes.”He held his laugh, shaking his head as we began taking our clothes off. There was nothing much to strip off. I was in my sexy red lingerie, and he was in his pants.To be honest, our only problem was our time for both of us— most of the time while we were naked in bed, Atlas began waking up and started to cry.“I love you, baby.”I parted my lips as I watched the desire flicker in his eyes. He then dipped down, tagging my bottom lip between his teeth. He groaned as he pressed his hard cock against my lower belly and then cupped my ass as he finally captured my mouth in a passionate kiss, gliding his tongue inside, dominating me.Moaning, I instantly w

    MAVERICKEight months later, Southampton I had a teary-eyed earlier as Cooper carried the precious angel I’d never thought I could love beyond anything in this world. He was five months old today and became the center of our universe. He was our ringbearer, and everyone, oh and ah, as he put on a cute little suit, while Nana and Beatreigh had been giggling since I walked down the aisle with my father, Gaetano.Like what he promised to my husband when Lake asked for the blessings he would be here, my friends and family, everyone I loved, including Terzo and Celestina. Lake did his luck inviting my mother. Surprisingly, she was here alone.“What’s in your head, baby?” the most handsome groom I’d ever seen smiled. He still took my breath away when he did that.After all these years of finding my perfect one, he came to me at the right time, even for the wrong reason.Then, our whole universe, Atlas Sawyer Bates Winston, came into our world, adding more colors to our lives. Sawyer was my

    LAKE“Oh, my God!” My mother was the first to react, seeing the golf ball pop into blue smoke as soon as my uncle executed a stroke.“I knew it. Look at her abdomen,” Augustine said to my mother.“I told you, remember?” Mom seemed to find a new good friend in Augustine. They went to coffee or shopping together and sometimes baked at home. I was glad they got along so well. They were going to be excellent guides in raising our child.When we held our gender reveal party, Maverick was already six months pregnant. It was worth the wait. Everyone was here— our families, close friends, her friends from the Bazz, and, of course, our extended family.“You should promote my baby products, Maverick.”Amused, I shook my head at Estelle. “Give my wife a break.”“You’re the one who’s not giving her a break,” London replied. “She’s going to wear LH maternity dress for the photoshoots.“Congratulations, cuz.” Striker came to me.“Thanks.” We hugged each other.“Are you ready to be a father?”“I don

    MAVERICK“Whoa. Why the long face?” I shoved a spoonful of butter pecan ice cream into my mouth as I watched Lake’s face seemingly in deep, miserable thoughts. “Babe?”“Yeah?” He looked at me, looking guilty.“Did you just cheat on me in that four hours?”“Baby, why do you always think like that?”“Lake, cheating doesn’t only mean you’re sleeping or kissing the other woman. Could be lying, keeping something important from me.”“I know.” He rose from the chair to join me on the couch. Then he pulled me close to him so he could hug me. “You like that?”“Yeah. You want some?” I scooped and offered, but he shook his head.“I want to tell you something.” I could feel the heaviness of guilt in his voice. Whatever he was about to say, I was sure he had reasons.“Shoot.”“I went to Nana.” It lightened up my chest when he called my grandmother Nana. One time, when he talked about my father, he called him Papa even though I still called Gaetano by his name.“And?” I met his gaze.“Your mother w

    LAKE“She did not ruin your life. You ruined your own life by sleeping with the most dangerous man,” Augustine spat her anger out.I felt her anger towards her daughter was decades long, and she just had time to let it out of her chest.“You were only eighteen,” she added. “I had high hopes for you, but you disappointed your father. You were reckless and stupid and slept with a married man. You didn’t even know what care and love meant, and after you were gone for months, you came to me five months pregnant. Don’t blame your miserable life and poor choices on the poor, innocent child. She’s been through enough and all of that because you caused her so much pain.”“What do you want from my wife, Florence?”She lifted her chin. “I just wanted to meet her.”“Why now? Why not before when she didn’t have a mother at her first school recital? On her first time having a period? I’m your last to get out of here without being dragged into a van. Terzo is still in town, Florence.”She blinked t

    LAKE“Are you okay?” I glanced down at Maverick working on her tan beside the pool.She looked pretty satisfied and comfortable in her yellow two-piece swimsuit and sunglasses, which shielded her eyes from the blazing sun.“Why do you keep asking me that?” She slightly lifted her chin.“Did you put enough sunscreen on?” I wanted to see her eyes but was disappointed that she kept her sunglasses on.“Don’t worry. I need more Vitamin D.” She strolled her gaze at me.“My Vitamin D isn’t enough for you?”When she saw me smirking, she slightly tipped her head down, glaring. “Not everything is about your dick, Lake. Going somewhere?”“Yeah. I’ll be back in a couple of hours.”“A date?”“Yes, Maverick. I have a date. You might as well put Airtag on me.”“Can you buy butter pecan ice cream for me?”“Of course. Anything else?”“Bring your cock back untouched.”I laughed, making her frown. “My cock is exclusively yours, baby.” I bent down to cup her face and kissed her on the lips. “I promise yo

    MAVERICK“Linden made fun of me. He sent me every copy of the books he read while Estelle had their first baby, Gabrielle. I’m done reading the first two books.”“Is that why you’re so calmer than me because of these books?”“You may be stubborn, but when it comes to our unborn child, you’re very responsible. Hence, we never argued about it. We most argued about money and my spending on you.”“I did not tell you that I love the ring.” I raised my hand. It was a Marquise cut, the same size as my first engagement ring.“Thank you, baby. I have good taste, you know.” I found some meaning in his words.“I bet.”Once he was done eating, he went to a small fridge and brought two bottled water. He opened one and gave it to me.“Thank you.” I drank it.“Can you stay a little longer?”“Why? Isn’t a chairman and CEO has a lot of work to do?”“That can wait.” He stood before me, cupped my head, and kissed me hard.My hands came to his arms, gripping them as he deepened the kiss and shoved his to

    MAVERICKWe finally found out the gender of our baby this morning. I could see the joy in Lake’s eyes as the doctor told us. He was excited and couldn’t wait to meet our baby. He was even teary-eyed as he kissed my tummy.One thing he assured me was that he didn’t care about either a boy or a girl as long as our child was healthy, and I couldn’t agree more.On the other hand, I was a little bit scared of a lot of things, including labor and the pressure of being a first-time mother.I was still astounded at how lucky I was to be his wife. Aside from being overprotective and bossy, he was also thoughtful and loving.After Beatreigh, Nana, and I visited a bridal boutique, we had a late lunch, and then I decided to pay a visit to my husband, who was never invited to the Chairman and CEO’s office. The last time I planned on walking into this building was my confrontation with Wallace, but it didn’t happen.So, I thought I would surprise Lake.I knocked on his office door when Venus told m
