MaxwellBy the time I got back to the apartment building where Raya stayed, it was already late at night, and she and her friend were nowhere to be seen.Instead, a blonde lady opened the door, "And you are?" She asked"Uncle Max!" Kyle screamed from inside before I could answer, and I stretched my arms wide to receive his hug.He was always happy to see me, no matter how many times we saw each other, and that made my heart warm too."Oh, are you Mr. Sterling? Miss. Johnson mentioned that you might come around.""Yes, I am. And where is she?""She stepped out with her friend but promised to come back sooner than later. Probably by 9pm."It was 8pm.I wondered where they had gone too."You can go then; I'll look after them.""You sure?""Of course""Okay, thank you."The babysitter left, and I led Kyle into the living room, where Kendall's little girl, Leah sat.She was playing with her toys, and I immediately wished I had told the babysitter to stay around.What had made me think I co

RayaI woke up the next day to a pounding headache and an arm around my face—or was it an arm?"Oh God Kendall!" I said when I realized it was actually her leg that was across my face.I proceeded to remove it and sat up on the bed, immediately reeling from the headache that went through me."F*ck!" So much for saying I wouldn't drink too much.I hadn't drank too much to be honest but I had taken a strong drink after my collision with Mr. Michael Sterling.My hand went to my mouth at the fact that I still remembered that.That meant it was true, right?F*ck! I couldn't believe he was gay.Like, it wasn't a bad thing, but it was absolutely shocking.For one, he was married to a full fledged woman who was the daughter of one of the most influential individuals in the state, and second, he didn't look gay.For someone who was always looking prim and proper, I would have never expected that he was getting bent over to take it in the ass or was he the one giving it.I screamed from the tho

Third-person POVThe lady walked into the kitchen that morning, getting a glass of wine from the cabinet where she always put it, and she poured a glass for herself from the bottle of wine she had gotten earlier.She was in a good mood as things were going her way."Where are you going?" She asked her husband when he ran down the stairs from his study where she knew he had been, and he turned to her."S-somewhere. I'll be back.""Okay."He hurried out, and she picked up her phone to go through the pictures her agent had sent to her.Two men kissing.She never would have thought that her husband was into that, but she had suspected things.It was all for the best, though.Just an avenue to find more fun, right?She chuckled lightly to herself and sipped her wine, adjusting her robe properly around her.****RayaThe place that Mr. Michael Sterling had invited me to was one of those private bars that had a personal server and closed doors, and I was nervous when he walked in alone, clos

RayaThe anxiety was back once we drove through the gates of Columbia University. In the car, Maxwell had managed to keep me calm with his hands on my thigh and small talk, but on driving through those gates, I recognized the expensive cars and luxurious dresses and felt my heart skyrocket through my throat again."Are you okay? We can still turn back if you want..." He said when he noticed my sweaty palm, and I shook my head, chuckling nervously."That would be ridiculous; besides, I want everyone to know you're mine."Okay, that had come out without warning, but it put a smile on his face, and when the driver stopped behind one of the many cars in the parking lot, he hurried to the other side of the car to open the door for me.I was over the moon. "Thank you," I said, and he smiled."You deserve it."I hooked my arm around his arm, and he led us into the hall that was to be used amidst the stares of everybody."F*ck, everyone is staring.""Well, you're looking really beautiful."

Maxwell"What the f*ck, Michael?!" I found my voice after almost a minute of staring at the photo that was on my phone, and some lady tried to stop Diane from looking at the picture.It wasn't even a lady he had been cheating with but a guy.A guy.Michael was gay.I couldn't believe it even though I was saying it and looking at the evidence.My brother was gay."Seriously?" He said in response, looking at Raya, not me, and she raised her hands."I didn't do it. I swear I didn't...""Wait, you knew about it?"She turned to me, a guilty expression on my face.She did.She had known about it but chose to keep it away from me.I wasn't even sure how to feel about it.At this point, everyone was staring at us, and it took all but a minute before Michael cursed and walked out of the hall."F*ck it!""What? No, Micheal"I hurried after him, pulling his arm when I got to him outside the hall, and he flung my arms away."What is it? You must be finally happy to have something to use against m

RayaThe bar was how I remembered it.Loud, dingy, and nice.Spanish music was playing on the speakers when I walked in.It was strange.Did that mean there was someone else who had seen them?Paparazzi?A random person?I wasn't sure who it was, but it definitely wasn't me.I hadn't taken a picture, or had I?I just hoped Mr. Sterling wasn't suspecting me, but who would he suspect if not me?"Ugh!" I groaned sitting at the counter, and I ordered a glass of whiskey for myself. Similar to the one that was in the glass beside me, but no one was there.Maybe the person already left.Or so I thought before the appearance of Mr. Sterling graced my presence.I nearly choked on my drink."M-mr. Sterling...""Did you come to... I don't know, rub it in my face too?"He seemed defeated."What? No. I didn't do it though. I would never...""I know.""What?"I stopped in the sermon I was about to deliver to him."You're not the type of person that would do that. I guess we were not just careful en

MaxwellThe rest of the trip to the airport was chaotic, with the kids running around and being loud as we got them strapped for takeoff, but it helped me get my mind off things so."Are you ready?" I asked Raya, who was seated beside me, and she nodded, hooking her fingers between mine. I squeezed her.What could Michael have told her though?I was genuinely curious and couldn't wait for the plane to be in the air, and when it did, I turned to face her and said, "So..."She stared at me for a while before understanding, "Oh...""So you know how I'm trying to figure out who Kyle's father is, right?" I nodded, "Michael suggested that I go for hypnosis. It could help me remember the things I'm forgetting.""What?" I was thrown aback by that."Hypnosis?""Yes"I pondered on that. It was true that it could work, but there could be side effects."Have you researched it?"She nodded. "It seems doable.""Then let's do it."I was all for what she wanted as long as it benefited her, and she

Raya"Are you sure I don't need to come?" I asked Maxwell as he prepared to go back to New York the same day we had arrived.Kendall was playing with the children in the house, and I walked into his embrace, wrapping my hand around his waist."No. No, I'm fine. Stay with Kyle. He shouldn't miss out on his birthday just because of my family problems."He tried to play it off with a chuckle, but I could tell he was worried."Fine, but we'll be there soon.""Enjoy your time, okay?"He nodded, and I kissed him lightly on the lips before watching him drive away in a black SUV."Why is Uncle Max leaving?" Kyle asked the minute I walked back in and I put on a smile for him."He had something to take care of.""So he won't be around?"I nodded, "Sorry about that.""Is that why he gave me this?" He raised up a black card, which made Kendall, who was whipping up something in the kitchen, gasp, and I glanced at her startled."What is it?""He gave you his card.""His card?"I collected the card

RayaThe day of the wedding arrived, my dress ready, the makeup artist, and the hair stylist in my room to make me the most beautiful bride ever, and I had the support of my best friend and soon-to-be mother-in-law."My God, you look so beautiful," she said when I finally put on the dress, my hair and makeup done, and I scrunched my face, trying not to cry."Thank you.""I'll be the best mother I can be to you, and trust that you can tell me anything and everything."I knew that already considering the time we had spent together before even getting proposed to and the time for me to walk down the aisle finally came, Maxwell's dad meeting by the door where he was to lead me to the aisle because I had asked him to hold my arms.He was going to be the dad I never had, was already even, and I felt myself tearing up as I finally saw my husband-to-be by the pastor at the front of the little audience.I had only invited the closest people to me, which weren't many. My son, of course, Kendall

RayaI was pregnant.The pregnancy kit test had said so, and I had done it multiple times, my heart dropping even lower as each one confirmed that fact, and now I was going to my best friend's house to tell her."You're pregnant?"She looked happy, but should she? I mean, I wasn't sure I was."Why aren't you happy? This is good news, right?"I shrugged, my panic probably showing in my eyes, and she held my hands. "I mean, what if he doesn't want it?""And why wouldn't he want it?""I... I don't know."She squeezed my hand, drawing back my attention to her, and her face looked fierce. "Don't you dare let your past invade your future again. I thought we were past that."I thought we were too, but the memory of William kicking me and beating me when I first told him I was pregnant wouldn't just get out of my head."I don't know Kendall; I'm scared." She pulled me into her arm, squeezing me tight as I let out my tears, and I sniffed loudly when I was done."So what are you going to do now

RayaI couldn't believe this.Maxwell had proposed.Like, yes, I had suspected something was up with the way Kendall kept acting suspicious when she took me to the mall from my workshop, and it had basically to get into a new dress, which she said was for an event she wanted me to accompany her to, but guess what? She wasn't dressed up, so which event?My proposal.The thought made me laugh after we pulled away from the kiss and Maxwell stared into my eyes, "What?""It's just... Did you put Kendall up to that? Getting me to dress up and keeping me away from my house."He chuckled at the realization too, "Uhm... Yeah, I couldn't let you find out that I was proposing until I was ready, and did she do a good job?"I shrugged, "Not bad, but I did suspect something was up.""I know, right?"I stared into his eyes seriously after we stopped chuckling and pulled him even closer to me, "I love you."He smiled, "I love you too.""I love you even more."We kept going until he picked me off the

Maxwell"And how is the pop-up event coming up?" I sat on the chair in my office, having a Zoom meeting with our manager over in South Korea, and he nodded his head."Going well, it'll be announced during the official campaign of the new collection.""Okay good. Send me a final review when it is ready, okay?""Okay sir"I cut the line and I turned to my secretary, who had been waiting for me to finish."So...""The financial report, sir.""Right. Are they ready for me?""Yes sir""Good"I took the report from her, taking a look at it as we headed to the financial department for our meeting, and I had a meeting with the marketing department before deciding that it was time to clock off work.It'll soon be time for Kyle's football competition, so I had to close early."Maxwell..." Raya waved at me from where she sat with Kendall and Leah because Michael was also playing too when I got there and I made my way to them."Babe"I kissed her on the lips lightly, smiling at the small kid tha

RayaIt was no surprise to both me and Maxwell when Diane finally got admitted into a mental hospital two years later after injuring her supposed best friend, Tyla, whose relationship she had also scattered, and the world seemed confused by that.Not so much me and Maxwell though, even though it was quite crazy considering how normal she looked.Like, who would have thought she was an unhinged person with issues?Anyway, I made progress in my school, ignoring the scandals and all that always seemed to involve me and my boyfriend, and when I was finally done with it, like, can you imagine, I was finally a graduate in fashion designing, my son and boyfriend were there with me to support me.I walked onto that stage with pride to receive my certificate, and the sight of my son and boyfriend cheering me up in the crowd made me tear up.We took photos when we were out, and my son took photos of me and Maxwell while he carried me into the air.It felt so surreal.Kyle wasn't a little boy ei

RayaI couldn't concentrate on anything due to the recent happenings, and I still hadn't heard from Maxwell.It was disheartening.He must be annoyed that I had slept with another person even though I had been drugged, right?I too was jealous about him and Tyla, but the whole matter had died down just as quickly as it had risen up. The people had found something else to talk about.As for me, I hadn't moved on because I was the one involved and the other person involved still hadn't called me.He wasn't picking up his calls either, and his friend had no idea where he had gone.So I got into my car the next day to go back to his house. I'll stop on the way to see Kyle at the family house, then maybe I'll have some more strength to face all this because if I said I wasn't discouraged, I would be lying.Kyle was happy to see me as well as Maxwell's parents, though they had seen the news, so I had to explain everything to them.Maxwell's father seemed to be doing better, maybe because he

MaxwellA trip to our family hospital confirmed that not only Raya had been drugged but me also, and that made me baffled.I picked up my phone when it rang, "And?"It was Raya, so I knew she wanted to know the results."We were both drugged.""But why? Why would anyone do that?"I wanted to know too. Why would she want to destroy our relationship?After all, she had been the one to dump me, not the other way around.I cut the call with Raya after a while in order to go find my answers, and I cocked an eyebrow when I saw Tyla's car leaving her compound just as I drove in."Diane!"She came to the door, surprised when she saw me, and she let me in. "What's wrong?"I turned on her almost immediately, "What's wrong? Really? Are you trying to play dumb right now?""What's wrong? I don't understand.""You don't understand? What don't you understand? Drugging someone or arranging with your best friend to destroy my relationship."Her face was blank, like she didn't know what I was talking

MaxwellI woke up to the feeling of someone's arms around me. Soft and feminine.The smell too.Wait, that's not... That's not Raya's smell.That's...The f*ck!I opened my eyes to see the person wrapped around me to be Tyla, and I jumped off the bed, almost pushing her to the ground in the process."The f*ck!"No, no, there's no way.My God."Maxwell...""No, no, don't you dare."She stirred on the bed, finally coming to her senses, but she didn't look... Surprised.If anything, she was calm."Can't you see that we're... We're naked?""Yes, naked indeed."She looked down at my d*ck, which I hadn't even known was exposed. I thought I had my freaking boxers on, and I picked it up from the ground immediately to put it on."God. How could you? How are you...."She turned on the bed, the covers slipping off her body, and I shook my head at her exposed breast.There was no point in talking to her.I had been a fool.I picked up the rest of my clothes, putting them on as I left the room, an

RayaThe bar was loud, the music playing over the speakers as people danced on the floor, and I went through my phone again.Still no message or calls from Maxwell.He should have called by now, or maybe he was just busy."Raya, you promised not to sit in a secluded corner while the rest of the world had fun. What are you? A female character in an enemies-to-lovers novel?"I chuckled as my roommate, Hailey, came to meet me by the counter.She had been the one to drag me out on a Friday night because I was obviously such an introvert who needed to have fun, whether I had a boyfriend or not."You don't have to hook up with anyone; just dance and have fun.""Yes, but you're forgetting that I offered to come so I could take you home. I'm having fun; I'm not much of a dancer."She rolled her eyes and picked up a new glass of alcohol before swirling away back into the crowd, and I went through my phone again until someone sat beside me.I sighed, ready to give the speech of how I was taken,
