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.

"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 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

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's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire PROLOGUE
"You absolutely have to go!" exclaimed the pretty black-haired girl in a doctor's coat. One hand was tucked in the wide pocket at the front of the coat while the other danced around the air with each word she spoke.Mikayla ran a hand over her face wearily. Her partner, Anna, was at it again. Anna was her closest friend and confidant, and beyond that, she was her business partner.Anna was a gorgeous woman and brilliant doctor who stood out everywhere she went. People often joked that if she ever got tired of being a doctor, she could easily make a career switch and go into modelling.She always laughed it off as ridiculous, but it was true for anyone who had eyes to see. With her long legs and arms and slim, fit body, she would look amazing on some runway or on the cover of some magazine.Even now, with her lustrous black hair tied up in a ponytail and her body cocooned inside the lab coat, anyone could see that she was gorgeous.They met in medical school and became good friends dur

By the time Mikayla walked in, the party was in full swing. She stood close to the entrance, mentally preparing herself to enter into the throng she was looking at. She briefly considered tucking tail and running but she'd promised Anna she'd be here so she couldn't leave.Speaking of Anna, she stretched her neck discreetly, looking for her friend in the crowd but there were so many people that she couldn't possibly spot her like this. She would have to wade into the waters."Suck it up and just go," she chided herself and with a deep breath, she walked further into the room. She kept up a running commentary in her mind at every second. It served the dual purpose of distracting her and reminding her to observe all the expected social observances.Remember to smile. Smile at him. Nod at her. Ugh, don't stop or he'll start talking to you. Yup, best avoid that one too. On and on, it went as she navigated her way around the room. Thanks to attending such events time and time again, almost
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 2
Cael didn't like attending the social events that members of his class kept springing up. They were monotonous, had the exact same faces and always ended with him parting with an outrageous sum of money for one outrageous cause after the other.But when you belonged to the economic class that Cael belonged to, attendance was almost mandatory. Tonight it was a fundraiser for patients with cancer, at least it was a worthy cause. Now, Cael didn't care much for social rules and cues and whatnot so he hardly ever attended no matter how many invitations he got. None of it appealed to him. It never had. Not the peacocking, not the mindless conversations and not even the attention he could never really avoid.Even now, the birds were swarming. Cael kept his face straight and his eyes constantly moving so that an errant glance wouldn't be taken by the roosts as a signal to approach. His disinterest wouldn't keep them away for long though, he could tell.Already the excitement was mountain. Th
Mikayla's Mistake: A One Night Stand with the Billionaire CHAPTER 3
Mikayla angled her body, trying her best to pass through the crowd without brushing against anyone. She needed to get out immediately. It was irrational, it was probably unnecessary, but all she knew was that she had to get away.She'd never felt anything quite like that before. It felt like a thousand ants underneath her skin where his eyes touched her. She needed to get out and catch her breath. She risked a look in his direction to see if he was still looking.Oh no, he wasn't just looking at her now. He was actually following her, barraging through the crowd at an angle that ensured that he would reach her before she reached the door. No! No! No! She increased her pace, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw him do the same.Who was this man anyway? Why was he following her? She couldn't risk another look at him. It would slow her down. She shouldn't have come. She silently cursed Anna's persistence. Now she was being chased around by a staring psycho.She briefly considered bre

"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
