LAKE

“Of course, there’s always a risk, and it could be dangerous, potentially used for malicious activities and act like us humans or potentially loss of jobs. Even smartphones are dangerous. AI is an advanced system that will make a greater impact on us and make it a lot easier if we only use it responsibly. I know people like us are scared of being replaced by a robot or AI will take over the world, like our finance and weapon systems. That’s why we need transparency and explore its limits. I am proposing this technology, to name a few— for efficiency, minimizing human error, digital assistance, and rapid, massive data analysis.”

My uncle looked at the boards, reading their reactions and decisions. I was taking this risk to the board, who were mostly against using AI, but if I didn’t try it, another company would present this proposal.

“We’ll analyze your proposal and give you the result as soon as possible, Lake, but we need to try your AI to see if it works better for our system.

    MAVERICKAfter my coffee time with Beatreigh, it was oddly eye-opening. Lake could have possibly lost everything he had worked hard for years because of his decision and what he gave up. So, I followed his mother’s advice.I parked before his company building to surprise him at his office. Never had I thought of being the one getting the surprise.Anger slammed right into my chest the moment I recognized the woman who was holding his hand and kissing him on the cheek.That bitch.The unfamiliar ache in my chest settled and made me want to lash out and wring her neck until she turned blue.I fisted my hands as I turned back to my car and almost bumped into someone towering over me.“You’re not getting in there?”I met Owen’s gaze. “I changed my mind. My husband got a date, but he’ll probably be free next week.”“Don’t be ridiculous. That woman just came to him, and they barely talked for one minute outside the building. Do you trust me?”“Is there a reason not to trust you?”“No. Trust

    LAKE“Why the fuck aren’t we moving, OB?”“Boss, it’s traffic at this hour.”I could see that and knew it, but why did I have to ask the obvious? Now Owen and Homer were making fun of me.“Have a little patience, sir. We’re almost there,” Homer said from the passenger seat.“We can avail a chopper if you’ll be in a hurry next time, boss.”I glared at Owen before I looked outside the window. The anticipation of seeing Maverick was killing me. I wanted to see her the Bazz, but Owen said she had changed her schedule, and Rocco didn’t want to give it to him without her permission.After thirty minutes, we finally arrived at my penthouse. It was quiet; only the lights in the living room were open. I noticed two racks of clothes and two boxes in the corner.“Boss, let us know if you need something. We’ll be at the quarter.”“Thank you.” I nodded at Homer.Once the door was closed, I checked the living room for Maverick. I didn’t expect to see her asleep on the couch with her book opened and

    MAVERICKI was both shocked and terrified. I was shaking, and my emotions flipped my stomach to the point I wanted to throw up. The pain was horrendous. I ran towards the nearest bathroom, emptying my stomach into the toilet bowl.“Maverick?” He followed me.“I’m fine. Give me a second.” I got up and washed my mouth thoroughly.When I went to him, I was shocked to see that he was calm. I saw nothing but the worries deep in his eyes.“Are you okay?”I nodded and found myself lunging at him, hugging him tight. He needed that, and I needed it, and I instantly felt him wrapping his arms around me, hugging me back.“I’m so sorry, Lake. This happened because of me.”He chuckled, but I felt the heaviness in his chest. “I was about to say the same thing.”I pulled away and studied him. “He’s that hardass, huh?”“Pretty much, blaming everyone but himself.” He looked back at me, and then I read something.I shook my head. “I’m not pregnant. If that’s what you’ve been trying to ask.”“I’m not wo

    MAVERICKI stepped back and opened the door wide as my invitation. He followed in, instantly cupping my head, and then his mouth was on mine. He leaned forward, gripped my hips, and kissed me hard.God, I hoped I wouldn’t regret this. We both needed this. Tonight, it’s just him and me having a good time. He tugged my hair and kissed me hard as he started walking me backward towards my bed.As if we couldn’t wait any longer, I pulled his shirt over his head, and he took off mine. Then I helped myself get off my pajama bottom and my panties, and he quickly took off his jeans and boxers.His naked body was perfection, and his thick cock was erect and proud. “Get in bed. Spread your legs apart.”“Bossy.” I groaned as I followed his order like a good wife. I lay in bed and watched him crawl and growl as I began to touch myself. I bit my bottom lip as I felt my arousal coating my finger.Before I could pleasure myself more, my hand was gone, and he took it to his mouth and sucked it.I suck

    LAKEFor once in my life, I did something right, leaving Winston Global to be with my wife and what I valued the most. What I shared with Maverick was more than just a contract marriage anymore, or lust, or sex. It was special.I looked at my sleeping woman. Despite what my father put her through, she chose her peace, and I admired her for that. I grabbed my phone from my jeans. I was about to text Linden when I saw a message from Cooper.Yes, Cooper and I exchanged messages. I wanted to make sure Maverick was okay.COOPER: What is your plan for tomorrow?LAKE: Why?COOPER: It’s past midnight, dude. It’s Mave’s birthday today.Fuck.LAKE: For real?Then I remembered her file. Shit.COOPER: Throw her a party?LAKE: Yeah, I’ll make it possible.COOPER: Do you know she doesn’t like celebrating her birthday? No extravagant.

    MAVERICKShock was an understatement. And here I thought maybe he genuinely didn’t know my birthday. Then here we were, my friends were having fun, and even my grandmother was with me on my special day.When Nana got sick, I stopped celebrating my birthday. I thought, what’s the point? I only have a few people who are constants in my life. I was always grateful for another year, but that was it—no celebration.I watched my friends sing on the Karaoke with amusement. Genesis, though, had a golden voice. There was supposed to be a live band today, but somehow, Lake managed to book the entire bar for the night.“So nice to finally meet you, Mrs. Winston.”I looked at my side. An African-American woman in her dress was reaching out her hand.“Hi. Yeah. We haven’t formally introduced. Just Maverick.” I shook her hand. “Pleasure to meet you.”“I’m Venus. I worked for your husband for three years as his assistant.”“I never saw you come to the penthouse.”“Ow, he never asked me for a persona

    LAKEFuck. This time, we slept in my bed. I didn’t mind waking like this every morning with her in my arms, my dick hard as steel inside her.Our relationship was different now, better. And I liked it. If we only started as hookups, we could have labeled by now. Maverick would make a great girlfriend, which she was, and she was also good in bed, so fucking good.With our lips sealed together, she slid her hand over my chest, grazing her fingers against my skin down my abdomen. I slammed into her, and she shuddered, letting out a moan.I pulled her knee up. She would be more tight at this angle, and I could go deeper as I could. Then I quickened my pace, fucking her hard and fast. Her pussy felt so good, tight, and warm. And she also smelled good, like roses and wild orchids, maybe her body wash or her shampoo.When her lithe body tightened, I knew she was close. I pressed my thumb on her clit, and she broke the kiss and screamed my name.“That’s it, beautiful. Take me, all of me.” I g

We fuck every night, go separate ways and do our jobs during day time. Then, after eleven months, we bid goodbye. Is that what you want?”She didn’t say anything but look me in the eye, and her silence made me more uncomfortable.“I know I hurt you, and that’s why I’m trying hard to gain the trust I broke. And what we have here is special. I can feel it. We have something worth working out. Or am I the only one who feels this? Tell me, Maverick. Lay your cards on me. What do you want?”She turned away, leaving me confused and shattered.***“What are we waiting for?” I tapped my fingers on the armrest impatiently, facing Linden. He decided that we meet at the Osmium so no one could know about this meeting, so discreet that I’d been dying to know the information he found about Maverick’s possible father.“Ju

    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

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.

    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
