Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 64
By the time Mikayla drove back home after work, all her anger and fury had melted away and in it's place was heart wrenching guilt at the way she'd spoken to her mum. She'd snapped and just blindly spat words out without thinking.It was true that she tried to hide her relation with her mum as much as possible, but she wouldn't have chosen to say it in that way. For all her faults, Michelle had been a good mum to her.She took care of her growing up, made her food, cared for her, played with her. Up until her classmates caught wind of her mum's affairs and started making fun of her, she hadn't even known there was anything strange about having a different man around every couple of years.She'd learnt to stay out of her mother's way whenever one of her 'friends' were around and they never bothered her too. Some of them would even bring her expensive gifts. She lived in a big, nice house and went to a nice school.Michelle didn't deserve the things she'd said to her today. She wou
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 65
"Mikayla! Mikayla!"Mikayla came around slowly. The first thing that hit was the sound of loud wailing. She instinctively scrunched up her nose. Who was making that much fuss? It wounded like a baby. But why would there be a baby in her house? She instinctively knew she was at home and in her own bed.She opened her eyes a crack but everything was fuzzy. She forced her eyes open a little wider and Cael's face swam into focus. He carried a little boy in his arms who was screaming at the top of his lungs, his tiny face scrunched up in fury. Abe, she identified. That was her brother, Abe."What's going on?" She managed to ask. It barely came out as a whisper.Relief flooded Cael's face. "You're finally back. Good! I was getting worried there for a second. Can you see me? How many fingers am I holding up?" He held up two fingers on his free hand."Two," she whispered. "That's alright," another voice cut in. "Let's give her some time to stabilize." Anna? Anna was here too? She'd r
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 66
Mikayla was being shaken awake. She woke confused but immediately realized that it was Abe. A quick look at the clock showed that it was 6:30m. He'd fallen asleep early in the evening yesterday after which she carried him to her bedroom; her real bedroom, not the guest room. Now that Michelle was gone, it was hers again. She'd placed him in her bed because she wasn't sure three year olds could sleep alone yet. She was on one side and she blocked his other side with pillows so he wouldn't roll off the bed. She'd woken up about fifty times during the night checking that he was still asleep, that he hadn't rolled off the bed, that he was still breathing... it had been a very difficult night for her. Damn Michelle for thrusting her into this situation.But now, Abe was up and he wanted her up as well. "Okay, okay, I'm awake." Mikayla sat up. She ruffled his hair. "Good morning, Abe."He didn't respond. His attention was fully on trying to climb over the pillows she'd stacked in his
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 67
Cael ignored the shocked stares that trailed him as he walked to his office. It was inevitable. He'd been expecting it. It wasn't everyday your boss came into work carrying a toddler. Much less a boss like him.Abe was looking around in wonder. Everything about the office and the people watching him so curiously fascinated him. Cael watched him from the corner of his eyes and smiled. He heard a gasp from one of his workers and almost rolled his eyes. Again, he couldn't blame them. He didn't exactly make it a habit to smile, especially at work. "K?" Abe called, his tiny voice ricocheting around the small hallway space."Yes, Abe?" He answered more quietly than his little companion. "Food?" Cael laughed. "Everything leads to food, doesn't it? Here I thought you were appreciating the aesthetical beauty of my office." Abe gave him a confused look. He sighed. "Food soon," he said.Abe nodded happily. He got to his office and walked in. Matt sprung up when he saw Cael walk in. His m
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 68
Mikayla whistled into the hospital that morning. She was in a good mood. Better than good, in fact. She was in a great mood. She'd just dropped Abe off into the hands of his friendly teacher, a wiry little lady named Dara.He'd gone with her happily when he saw the other kids and toys in the classroom. He barely remembered to wave goodbye to her. She'd also gotten a great night's sleep and that was thanks to Cael's thoughtfulness.After visiting the school yesterday, he'd driven her back home to meet a package on her doorstep."What is this? I can't remember ordering any packages." And it was a big one too so she was doubly sure it couldn't be hers. But it was her name on it. "Oh, I ordered that," he'd said casually."You did? What is it?""It's a crib," he'd answered. "Since you couldn't sleep all night because you were scared he'd roll off the bed, I thought it'd be a great idea to buy him his own bed that he won't roll out of."Tears sprung up in Mikayla's eyes. "Don't worry, I
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 69
Cael was deep into work when his door opened. He looked up with a frown. "Matt, I told you not to bother--" But it wasn't Matt standing at the foor. It was Armani, who was frowning at him. Cael sighed.He should have seen this coming. He'd been ignoring her calls and messages for days. He was also hardly ever home because he spent most of his free time at Mikayla's now, helping with Abe.So he and Armnai hadn't seen each other or spoken in days and he knew she had a million questions. She'd heard about him coming into work with a kid in tow. Of course, she had a million questions. Who didn't? He wasn't impervious to the looks that his workers gave him everytime he walked though he door. He just ignored it.The only person who didn't seem to care was Matt. But then he had more answer than the rest of them did so his curiousity was abated. Cael didn't know how he would be able to stand Matt otherwise. A curious Matt was a scary thing. But he'd have to talk to the secretary about b

"Come here, Abe. Let me tie your shoe," Mikayla called to the boy that was running at an alarming speed around her living room. A few weeks ago, she'd had to baby proof her apartment to keep Abe from hurting himself.It felt like he'd taken on a new burst of energy suddenly. He was always running or wanting to play or something or the other. It left her exhausted. Happy, but exhausted. It meant he was acclimatizing well to his new life with her.Abe was also doing well at school. He'd made tons of friends. In fact, one of those friends had invited him to a birthday party and that was where they were going. He came whooshing over, flying his arms like an airplane.Mikayla ducked her head just in time to avoid him hitting her in the face. "Careful, Abe. You almost hit me.""Sorry, Mik!" He said and stood still. Mikayla moved quickly, putting on his shoes and tying them up as quickly as she could. There was no telling how long he'd stand still for. "Done," she declared, dusting her

Mikayla ran her hand over her eyes. She was extremely tired. She hadn't slept all night, recalling the events of the previous day.When she'd broken through and seen that broken leg, her heart had flown into her throat. For a few seconds, she'd been frozen which was crazy because she'd seen worse injuries over her career.But thankfully, it had only lasted a few seconds before she sprung into action, muscle memory kicking in. She'd ordered everyone to stand back and had tended to the leg as best as she could there while they'd waited for the ambulance."Abe, honey. Come here! It's time to go," she yelled. Abe came running from wherever he'd been playing. He flung his arms around her legs. She smiled and picked him up, tucking him into her side.It felt like she'd gained a new appreciation for him since yesterday. When she'd heard the yell and seen the kids gathered, she'd been filled with a crippling fear that it was Abe that something had happened to.She'd practically become a

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
