“What do you mean?” I was already on my feet, facing Terzo.

His head snapped in my direction, eyes hardening, jaw ticking. “Your wife, Maverick, is my baby sister.”

There was a moment of eerily silence upon his revelation.

I, myself, found my jaw on the floor.

What the fuck?

Okay, I was not entirely prepared to hear this but fuck me.

“Does your father know?” Uncle asked Terzo.

“Yes.” He turned to my uncle. “Just the two of us, even my late mother, never knew. My sister doesn’t know. I only knew about this when he prepared me to be his next in line when I turned eighteen. He feared I might bump into her and accidentally sleep with my sister. Jesus.” Then he looked at me and to Linden.

“Shit.” Linden breathed harshly.

“You shouldn’t have stuck your noses and dug into this matter. This could lead to a serious dilemma. My father has kept this secret from her for her own good. Our family has so many enemies, and she’s here with no protection and knowledge of her father’s existence. W

    MAVERICK“Hey, Nana.” I kissed her on the cheek even if she wasn’t too excited to see me. “Did you take your medicine?”She went back to the kitchen, continued working on her pecan pie, and slid it into the oven.“Are you okay?” I dropped the grocery bags on the floor and grabbed a clean towel as she removed dirty utensils and brought them to the sink. I cleaned the table, waiting for her reply. “Nana, what’s going on?”“You lied to me,” she said sharply, her hand on her hip. Her face hardened, eyes filling with anger.“About what, exactly? You know I never lied to you.” My stomach lurched instantly.“Do you think I’m stupid? I raised you, Ricky. I know you very well when you hide something from me. I taught you better than that. You disappoint me, young lady.”“Nana, please. What are you talking about?”She gave me her back and went on cleaning the sink. “Go home.”“Nana, just tell me, please?” It broke my heart, hurting her.She was more than just my grandmother.

    MAVERICK“So who’s the lucky guy? That’s one big rock.” Terzo was a handsome man. He wasn’t wearing a wedding ring, so I guessed he was single, but the way he said it, he was more curious than flirting with me.“I’m lucky, too. His name is Lake.” I sipped my coffee while he had an espresso.“He must be rolling in it.” A smile nudged at his lips.“I guess you could say that. He came from both wealthy families, but he works hard.”“That’s good, and he should treat you well. You deserve a good man who treats you like a queen.” His words seemed genuine.I couldn’t help but smile. Despite that dark and mysterious persona and the intense look in his eyes, he seemed to be a good person.“Enough of me. What about you? You’re not married. Is there someone special?”“Nah. In my line of work, relationships can be complicated.”“That seems sounds sad. What do you do for a living? If you don’t mind me asking.”“You don’t wanna know.”“Whooo.” I tried to play cool as I eyed him. He intrigued me on

    MAVERICK“It hurt so much. I couldn’t forget the look on her face.” I sat on his lap, my arms around him. “She hates me. I’ve never seen her so angry at me until today. I failed her, Lake.”“Hey. It’s okay. It’s gonna be okay. I promise I will fix this. We will fix this. Your Nana doesn’t hate you. She is maybe angry right now, but let it cool down for a few days.”“You don’t know her. I’ve made mistakes in my life, but she always understood. She never got mad. She always told me that it’s part of growing up, that life is a never-ending process of growth, and we should learn from our mistakes. But today, she said she never wanted to see me again. She kicked me out of the house.”“You should have called me. I would have come here instantly, and you didn’t have to cry alone.” He kept rubbing my back to soothe me, but some things could not heal with words or comfort, and that was what I felt right now.“I couldn’t afford to lose Nana, Lake. She’s the only family I have left.” I still con

I couldn’t do anything right, and now she walked out of the room.I exhaled a long breath as I typed a text message.LAKE: I can’t tell her. Her Nana found out about us and was mad at her. She’s so broke right now.I saw the message bubbling.LINDEN: Maybe that’s a good thing.LAKE: How is it a good thing? What if she finds it out from someone else and confronts me? She will think I keep the truth about her father on purpose.LINDEN: Telling her the truth about her father won’t do any good to her. Trust me.

    LAKE“No way.” She snorted, grabbed her bowl, and left.“Maverick.” I held her wrist. “This is not a joke.”She napped her head and glared at me. “What could he possibly offer that made me want to take it? Is that really how you look at me? Wearing a dollar sign all over my face that I’m greedy and all I want is money?”“Baby—”“I get it, Lake.” She looked down at her wrist in my grip.I loosened it and let her go. “No, you don’t. I didn’t mean like that.”“You’re not telling me the truth.” There was so much pain in her eyes that I couldn’t even look at them longer without feeling stabs in my chest. “Stop lying to me. I just lost my only family. Don’t make me lose you too.”“Maverick, please?”She stared at her food momentarily before shoving the bowl into my chest. “On the other thought, I’m not hungry anymore.”I caught it and watched her walk away.“Fuck.”***I couldn’t work. I couldn’t concentrate on anything. I was still shaken up. My mind was shambled. All I could think about w

    MAVERICKI left my robe on the chair, unhooked my bra, and pulled down my panties on the floor while Lake’s stare seared me. He was naked in bed, his cock growing in his grip.Lake was hard everywhere, with pure muscles and perfect limbs as I came on top of him. His big arms wrapped around me, and he rolled us over so he could be on top. I was pressed by a heavy mass, but not enough to crush me.He dipped in, his lips finding mine, and kissed me softly, slowly at first, while his hand slid into my hair, stroking my scalp. The kiss was gentle as if we had the time in the world.When a moan slipped past my throat, he felt my anticipation; he deepened the kiss and delved his tongue into my mouth, making it aggressive and demanding— how exactly did I want right now with the growing pain in my lower belly and the throbbing pulse between my thighs.I grabbed his thick cock, stroked it slowly, and dampened its head with my wetness before I positioned it into my entrance.

    MAVERICK“What did he see in you? You’re nothing special.” Leah Fox, the bitch whom Heath cheated on me, just came to the bar and ordered Cosmo from Genesis because I’d been trying to ignore her and also avoided any conversation with her. “You must be a witch.”Customers were always right, but I felt it wouldn’t be longer if she kept insulting me.“What do you want, Leah? You got Heath. I got my new man. It’s a win-win unless you’re unhappy with him anymore and want someone with a fatter bank account.”“You mean like you? You’re nothing like me. I have millions of followers, and you?” She rolled her eyes with a disgusted look.I shook my head in annoyance as I took an order from a lady in a black dress.“Ma’am, you’re making her uncomfortable. I suggest you take your drink and let her do her work in peace.”“And who are you?” She turned to Homer and inspected him from head to toe. Homer was a catch and always put on an expensive suit like Owen. “Woooo. Hi, I’m Leah, and you?” She off

Take a day off or two,” I dismissed Owen and Homer as I took off my jacket and placed it on the armrest.“I’ll be right back.” She looked tired as she went upstairs.Once the main door shut, I followed Maverick to her bedroom. “Baby?”“Yeah.” She didn’t look at me as she walked into the bathroom.My cock grew instantly hard the second she stripped off her clothes one by one until nothing left, leaving me drooling.I did the same. I’d been meaning to join her in the shower, and maybe if I were lucky, I’d fuck her over there.“Not a chance. Go to your bathroom.”“No fucking way. I’m not going to walk in the hallway naked.” I stepped inside the shower room, following her.“There are clean towels if you’re too lazy to put your pants back on, Lake.” She turned on the shower, and the water rained on us.I sucked in a breath. “Fuck. It’s freezing cold. Can you adjust the temp?”“No.” She stared at me blankly, determined to kick me out of her shower.“Fine.” I wrapped m

    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
