Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 16
Cael Lautner strode casually into the boardroom like a panther on the prowl. His eyes immediately went to Mikayla who was looking at him slack-jawed. He pinned her with his glittering black eyes.He saw her mouth open in a gasp when he stepped out of the elevator but it was drowned out by the gasps of everyone else in the room. "Young Lautner!" A voice called in exclamation. He turned around to see Mr Rogers walking up to shake his hand. "What a surprise to see you here. So you will be investing in the hospital?" "That's right, sir," he answered. Mr Rogers was another acquaintance of his Father. He'd never known them to be especially close but their paths had crossed a few times for business-related reasons.Mr Rogers was a shrewd and sharp businessman with a wide portfolio but he majored in business acquidition unlike the Lautners. His nickname in the business world was "the shark" because of how he'd sink his teeth into a business and shake loose every possible thing it had to of
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 17
Mikayla was trapped under Cael's massive body. She couldn't trust herself in this position. Looking up at him, it was all she could do to not reach up and pull his face down to hers.She looked around wildly, hoping that someone would appear to rescue her. She tried to escape from between his arms but his grip was firm. There was no chance for escape. She swallowed."How did you find me?" She muttered."How indeed," he said. "It didn't take much to find you. First off, you were at Armani's event. There was a list of attendees. Also, I have the resources to trace you to any corner of the earth if I want to. But most importantly, just like Cinderella, you left me a very nice glass slipper."Mikayla frowned. What was that supposed to mean? What glass slipper did he leave him?Cael reached into his pocket and pulled out something. Because of her blasted curiosity, she didn't immediately make a run for it the moment his hand came down. Plus, where would she go anyway?.The elevator would t
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 18
Mikayla stood stunned in front of the closed elevator door. She was now alone on the boardroom floor. In the silence of emptiness, she could pause to think about everything that had just happened.Too many thoughts warred for space in her head at the same time so she couldn't make sense of anything. "Okay, okay, let's take this one at a time. Let's start at the beginning," she said out loud.One, Armani was no longer an investor because she sold her shares to someone. Two, that someone was no other than Cael Lautner, the very man she hoped to never see again. Three, Cael Lautner had no intentions of leaving her alone, spending millions of dollars just to be close to her was a good enough indication. Four, she couldn't resist Cael Lautner any more now than she could the night of the event.In simple terms, she was screwed. Actually, she'd been screwed ever since that day she met him.She'd known it deep inside that once you meet a person who affected you so much on such a deep leve

Mikayla was not in a good mood. She was grumpy, she was irritated and she was angry. She leaned heavily on her horn. "Get out of the darn way!" She yelled.The man in the car in front of her flipped her the finger but sped up a little. Mikayla chucked at her own outburst. She was hardly a confrontational person. She never got got into arguments or screaming matches on the road with strangers.But she was already so tightly strung that any little thing was ticking her off. The man driving slowly in front of her. The light that turned red just one car before her.The teenagers who had their song on too loud, blasting from their speakers. How they hadn't gone deaf yet, she didn't know.Why was Mikayla in a mood? Because she was on her way to join Anna at the spa. That night, she'd called to Anna, stopping her before she got to the door with the intention to come clean. She'd opened her mouth to tell Anna what was really going on but no sound issued from her between her lips."What is
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 20
The group of six hospital staff stood outside the front door with hands clasped in front of them for the arrival of their best and most major investor.The six consisted of Mikayla, Anna, two other doctors and two nurses including Nurse Kim.It was Monday morning, the day they were expecting Cael to begin his inspection of their hospital. Everyone was dressed to the nines. The nurse's uniform were even neater than usual, if that even possible.Even the doctors were dressed in glistering, white coats. From the look of it, they appeared to be new even. Mikayla hadn't gotten the memo so she was dressed in one of her usual coats. Anna was a different story. Apart from wearing an unmistakably new coat, the dress she wore underneath the coat was unlike anything Mikayla had ever seen her wear to work. She must have gotten a new dress as well.When her hair looked freshly made. When did she even get the time to get her hair done? Mikayla's hair was simply pulled up into a ponytail. She pro

Mila sprung to her feet at the sight of Cael in her doorway.He chuckled and waved her back into her chair. "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to you... today." To buttress his point, he stalked over to one of the chairs and took a seat, facing her.Once she ascertained that he had no plans to come for her, she sat slowly. "What are you doing here? Is the tour over?""Yes, I've seen enough for today," he said dismissively. "Yeah? Can you tell me about what you saw today then?" She asked.He smiled. "Are you testing me now?""I just want to make sure that we're not wasting our time holding a tour for someone who isn't interested in the hospital," she shrugged."I'm already invested in the hospital. If not for anything else, I care about the hospital because I care about my money," he pointed out."Well, I prefer investors who are actually mentally invested in the hospital's cause instead," she countered."I am mentally invested in you, and that translates to being mentally in
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 22
Mikayla still hadn't come to a decision on what to do as she stood outside the hospital with the rest of the welcome team to receive Cael Lautner for the second day.Cael wanted her there during the tour but Anna wanted her to leave so she could spend time with Cael.She'd evaded Anna's question the day before and had tossed and turned all night worrying over what to do. He would be arriving any minute now and she still didn't know what to do.Anna came to stand beside her and hit her shoulder lightly with hers. "How you doing?""I'm okay," Mikayla answered."We're still on for today, right?"Mikayla sighed. She still hadn't made a decision but she couldn't evade the question a second time without tripping off Anna's brain alarms. She didn't have a choice. "Yes, we're still on. I'll find a way to leave. I have work to do anyways.""Oh, you're the best!" She squealed and pulled Mikayla into a tight hug. "I love you.""I love you too," she answered.Cael's car pulled up a few minutes l

Mikayla cleared her throat and smiled at the patient before her again. The elderly woman smiled back at her again. "I'll like to thank you once again, Mrs Durall for volunteering to be a part of today's activities.""Oh you know I just love being active." She lowered her voice but kept it loud enough for everyone in the room to hear."Plus, it's not so bad since that one is an eye candy." She winked surreptitiously in Cael's direction.Mrs Durall 's declaration drew Mikayla's attention to the elephant in the room again, Cael Lautner.Today was the final day of his hospital visit and he was sitting in on her consultations that morning.Since she'd canceled her schedule for the three days he was going to be here, there were no "real" patients. Instead, they'd invited some of the regulars who didn't mind taking part in the exercise. Cael was sitting in the spot Nurse Rachel usually stood, observing. Nurse Kim was also in the room but stood behind the patient, close to the door.Anna h

Mikayla watched as the maid diligently turned the pot of soup. "I think you should add some more water," she directed."Yes, ma'am," the girl said and went to grab a cup of water from the tap."Mummy! Mummy!" Mikayla looked down at the kid pulling frantically on her cloth. "What is it, Abe?" She asked."Can I turn the soup too?" He asked, giving her a big smile. His adorable face made her smile. She shook her head. He knew exactly what he was doing! The boy was too aware of his own good looks. He thought it could help him get away with anything and get anything he wanted."No, Abe. You can't and you know it," she said."But mummm! I'm a big boy now. I'm seven years old," he argued.He'd only turned seven three days ago and already they'd heard that fact at least a million times. It came up in every argument including when it was his bedtime, when he needed to eat his vegetables and just any other time he could squeeze the argument into."Seven is too young to play around the sto

Mikayla looked at herself in the full length mirror and smiled. 'You look very beautiful,' she thought to herself. 'And I'm so proud of you.'She'd come a very long way from the scared little girl who lived everyday in fear of people finding out her true identity.Now, she was a strong, beautiful woman with a thriving career and an amazing boyfriend.And today, she would be celebrating another incredible milestone in her career at a beautiful ball.What more could a person ask for? Mikayla's heart was filled with gratitude."What's up? Are you ready," Anna asked from behind her, coming to stand with her.Mikayla looked at her friend in the mirror. "Yes, I'm ready. You look incredible." Anna wore a long velvet dress with dramatically big sleeves. "Thank you! You look wonderful too," she answered.Mikayla nodded, turning back and forth as she looked at herself in the mirror. "Yes, I do," she said."Oh," Anna's eyes widened. "That is the first time I've ever heard you acknowledge that

"Hello?" Mikayla said tiredly into the phone. "What's up?" "Hi, love," Cael's voice said over the speaker."Oh, hi, Cael! Sorry, I didn't look at the screen when I picked the call!" She was barely keeping her eyes open so she'd simply swiped without looking.Cael chuckled. "That tired, Hun? Well, you're about to come wide awake. I have good news."Mikayla perked up immediately. "Really?" She said, sitting up. "What is it?""Remember that call I got at your house?" He asked."Yes," Mikayla answered. How could she forget? She'd found herself thinking about it from time to time. He'd managed to distract her that night but she'd been wondering about it since then. Especially because Cael seemed to be in a perpetual good mood since the call. He walked around the house whistling. She'd even caught him smiling to himself a few times. The horror!"Well, you remember that meeting we had withr Marcus a while back about expanding the hospital?""How could I forget?" she said."Well, I got

Mikayla stood in front of the door to her beloved home. It'd been two weeks since she last stepped here. During those two weeks, she was staying with Cael at his mansion. She'd finally summoned the courage to come back and pack up Abe's stuff.She took a deep breath and turned the key. Suddenly there was a revving sound behind her. Mikayla turned around to see Cael's cars pulling into her driveway. "What are you doing here?" She asked in surprise."I couldn't let you face this alone. I'm here to help," he answered, walking up to her.She smiled. "But you didn't tell me you were coming! We spoke about me coming here this morning."He smiled back. "I wanted to surprise you," he said. "Are you ready to go in?"Mikayla nodded. "I was just psyching myself up to go in when I heard your car pull in. I guess I just have to rip the band-aid off and get it over with."He nodded. "I'll help you." He opened the door and entered first. Mikayla followed behind him.She looked around her house.

"Good morning, boss," Nurse Rachel called cheerfully to Mikayla as she came into work that morning."Morning," Mikayla answered quietly and headed into her office.Rachel caught Kim's eyes and raised a brow in a silent question. "What now?"Nurse Kim shook her head and nodded towards the office. "Go do your job," she said.Rachel sighed and went after Mikayla. She met her putting on her coat. "Dr Wall, is everything okay?"Mikayla gave her a tight smile. "Everything is fine, thank you."Rachel raised a brow. Obliviously everything was not fine. But she didn't press the issue. She decided to ask a different question."And how is Abe doing this morning? We've missed him a lot! The night shift nurses were shocked to hear that he'd been discharged. They made me swear to ask you to bring him in one of these days do they can say hello."A lump developed in Mikayla's throat. She swallowed thickly. Her eyes watered. She turned away from Rachel so she wouldn't see. "Abe is no longer with me

After Cael handed Abe over to Michelle, Mikayla fell into a pool of grief. She sat listlessly on the floor for what could have been minutes, hours or seconds. She was completely unaware of Armani's gentle presence, rocking her gently. At some point, Armani left to go home and still she didn't notice.When Cael decided that she'd been on the floor long enough, he picked her up to take her to the bedroom. At that moment, something inside of her snapped. With a snarl, Mikayla launched herself at Cael and began pounding at him.He fell on his butt in surprise. She pounded him with every ounce of strength in her body. She hit every inch of skin she could reach, growling like a wounded animal with each punch. There was so much pent up fury in her head with no exit route. So she pounded it out.Cael took the beating like a champ. He sat rock still and waited for her to finish, pinning her with those black, glittering hawk-like eyes. "How could you! How could you!" Mikayla snarled in

Michelle stood in Cael's doorway, clad in an expensive designer coat that barely reached halfway to her thighs.She also spotted glittering silver shoes that probably cost more than Mikayla's phone!"What the hell are you doing here?" Mikayla exclaimed.Cael heard the sound of her voice and came running to the door, Abe in his arms. "Mum!" Abe squealed as soon as he saw her and reached for her."My sweet boy!" She cooed, taking him from Cael. "Did you miss me? I missed you a lot.""I asked you a question," Mikayla repeated through clenched teeth. "What the hell are you doing here?""Is that any way to talk to your mother?" Michelle chastened and walked into the house, almost shouldering past them. She headed straight to the living room as if the place belonged to her."Do you know how difficult it was to find you?" She demanded, oblivious to the shock and discomfort of the rest of them. She sat comfortably. "I went by your house and there was no one there. It didn't seem like anyo

Armani pressed the doorbell again. The sound caused Mikayla to jump. She self-consciously ran her hand over her hair and body, making sure everything was in place. Armani often had that effect on her. She was always so beautiful, well put together and chic. She made Mikayla feel like a slob.She opened the door and smiled nervously at Armani. "Hi.""Hello," Armani said. "Can I come in?"It strick Mikayla as odd that she was asking her if she could come in. From what she knew, Armnai frequented Cael's house as often as she wanted. They were that close. So why did she feel the need to ask her?"Yes, of course," she answered and stepped back for her.Armani walked in and stood waiting. Mikayla blinked. "Erm...this way." She shut the door and led Armani to the living room. "Cael is asleep right now but I can wake him up if you want..." Armani smiled and shook her head. She sat down. "Don't bother. I didn't come to see him anyway. I came to see you."Mikayla sat down slowly. "To see

Mikayla was embarrassed!She was in the middle of a small crowd that had gathered in front of the hospital to see Abe off. In three days, he'd managed to become the hospital sweetheart. Every time she went to see him in his room, she met at least three hospital staff at a time fawning over him.Meanwhile, Abe basked in the attention he was getting in the hospital. The little celebrity had been showered with so many gifts that there was hardly space left in his room. So much so that he kicked off a fuss when she told him he would be going home today. At least his new friends had come out to bid him goodbye!Right now, he was in the arms of one of the nurses while the other crowded around him. They were waiting for Cael to pull the car around. Sweet Cael! He's been on ground these past three days, taking care of Mikayla and Abe simultaneously.It was Cael who'd brought her change of clothes each day. It was Cael who'd ordered food for her and made sure everything was fine while
