Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 46
The loud crash on the TV snapped Cael and Mikayla out of the trance-like state they were in.They sprung apart. Mikayla chuckled nervously. Her body still hummed in anticipation, failing to get the message that the mood was broken."I got you a beer too," Cael said causally, nodding towards the centre table which had an identical can sitting on top of it. He took a long gulp of his own beer too and she knew that he felt as uncomfortable as she did. It gave her some relief."Thank you." She leaned forward and grabbed the beer. "Why are watching this anyway?" Blasted decoration show, she thought. Way to ruin the mood."You said my house looked boring," he said simply, flatly. There was no antagonism in his voice. He was simply stating a fact.Still, Mikayla felt bad. "I didn't exactly say that. I-- okay, yeah, I said that," she laughed nervously.He smiled back reassuringly to show that he didn't take offence to it. "I stumbled on this channel and thought I'd give it a watch, see if
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 47
Mikayla walked the halls of hospital with her hands in the pockets of her dress. The dress was a cool shade of yellow, almost golden, clinched at the waist by a matching belt and had pockets in the front. She wore gold heels with a matching gold purse and finished off the look with some chic shades. She'd thought of putting a scarf around her neck for added effect but after the incidents of the previous day, she didn't want to give anyone any wrong ideas.Her hair was pulled up in a simple ponytail as usual but her auburn hair looked wonderful against the yellow of the dress. She knew because she spent an inordinate amount of time in front of the mirror that morning.It had felt so strange waking up in Cael's house, even if it was in the guest room. After Armani left, they'd gone back to catch the end of the movie while eating their pizza and then had an extra can of beer eachAfter that, Cael had declared that it was late and that they should go to bed to her utter disappointmen

Cael Lautner was having a very busy day. After drooping Mikayla at work, he'd immediately headed into this first meeting of the day and by two 'o clock, he'd had three more.It seemed like a lot of work but he didn't mind working like that. It came naturally to him. The only thing that bothered him was the very important task he was going to take care of right now. Mikayla had stayed with him the night before and it was wonderful. He'd loved every moment of having her here.Usually he kept people as far away from his house as possible. It was his personal sanctum; a place to get away from people. Only Armani frequented his house like it was hers and because it was her, he didn't mind too much.But he loved Mikayla being there. Seeing her walk his hallways, sit on his couch, watch TV in her pajamas just felt right in a way he couldn't even begin to understand. He wanted her around more often. For the first time in his life, he actually wanted someone else in his space.Then there w
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 49
Mikayla was racing against time. She needed to be at the reunion thirty minutes ago! But she'd had several appointments that day and had closed late from work. Anna had left work earlier which meant she was now ready but Mikayla wasn't. And for someone who was perpetually late, she was really giving Mikayla a lot of flack. She'd already called her twice and the phone was ringing again.Mikayla had just stepped out of the shower. She still needed to take care of her skin, dress up and put on some makeup. Anna would either have to be very, very patient or go ahead without her.She went to grab her phone, reaching out just as it stopped ringing. She sighed and dialled back. "Hi," she said."Mikayla, where are youuuu? Are you ready now?""Anna, how do you expect me to have gotten ready in the..." she checked her phone "...past five minutes since you called me. I basically just had a speed shower. I'm just stepping out of the bathroom.""So you're not dressed yet? Oh no!" She cried. "
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 50
Cael dropped Mikayla off at the reunion and left. Meanwhile, Mikayla stood in front of the building where the event was taking place and sighed. The last thing she wanted was to be here. She would rather be curled up on the couch at home, watching a movie with Cael.She smiled. How funny was it that she now thought of Cael's house as home? She'd only been there a week yet she felt so at home. She'd be leaving soon and by the time she returned, it would be as Cael's official woman.She could feel it. She knew it. He was planning something extravagant to ask her out and she was absolutely here for it!She'd never thought herself to be much of a romantic but she loved every bit of it with Cael.What she loved even more right now was knowing how much she affected him. It'd felt very one sided, the pain of not being able to touch him the way she wanted and do the things she wanted to do to him.But now that she realized that she was the one who'd been oblivious to his distress. Now tha

"Now how's my favourite ex-girlfriend doing?" The handsome newcomer asked cheerfully."Bernie!" Mikayla exclaimed breathily. "You're here!""In the flesh," he said, winking. He casually placed his hand across the back of her chair and stretched out his long legs under the table.He sighed. "Nice!""I didn't know you were back home. When did you fly in from Africa?" Mikayla asked."Just two days ago. I didn't tell anyone so I could surprise you all. I was hoping you'd be here at the reunion so we'd get to see." "I nearly wasn't going to come," she informed him. "Anna forced me into it."He grinned. A dimple appeared in his cheek, mesmerizing Mikayla as it always had. "I figured that would be the case so I planned to pay you a visit at the hospital if you didn't come.""Are you back for good or just for a little while?" She asked.He shook his head. "Just for a little while. I'll be going back in a week. I'm still much needed over there."Mikayla nodded. That was one thing she'd alway

"Did you get everything?" Cael asked, lugging her bags easily into the car. She'd had to carry the exact same bags out of her room into the corridor and she knew how much she'd strained. But Cael carried the bags like they were nothing. She stood back, admiring his muscles with a small smile playing on her lips.In the few days that she stayed at his house, she'd learnt that he took his gyming seriously. Mikayladidn't care much for working out. Thank God she'd been blessed with her mother's good genes. It was both a blessing and a curse."I said did we get everything?" he repeated.Mikayla blushed. "I think so but even if I didn't, I can just get it later. You can bring it to me or I'll come pick it up.""Alright," he said and slammed the boot closed.Mikayla leaned against the car, looking up at the house, at the grey walls that had become so familiar.It felt like she'd been living here for more than just a few weeks. She sighed. "I'm actually going to miss this place.""I'm goi

Mikayla woke curled in Cael's arms in her bed. She could tell she'd woken before him because of the deep breaths that moved in his chest rhythmically against her ears. Her face stretched into a smile.She was careful not to move around or alter her breathing too much so she wouldn't wake him. For now, she just wanted to enjoy being in bed with him like this. Plus, she imagined he'd have a few words to say to her after her actions yesterday. And she wasn't ready to answer them just yet.When she'd asked him what she had to do to make his resolve break down in the car earlier yesterday, she honestly hadn't been planning to do anything with the information. Even when she'd invited him in, she'd simply thought they would hang out for a bit and he would go back home.But watching him walk around in her house suddenly ignited such fierce feelings in her that instantly fried her brain. The only thought she could process was how much she wanted him and had to have him.When he carried 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's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 78
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
