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

MaxwellThe hospital was busy as usual, with one patient coming in after another, and even though it was a private hospital, it was still a busy one.I stopped abruptly when I saw a person outside my dad's hospital room, "Mac."My sister turned to me, her expression shocked at first but immediately smiling when she saw me, and I moved closer to hug her."What? How are you here?" I hadn't even given her a chance to react properly, and she smiled."Mom called, surprisingly.""Oh wow, then why are you not in there?"She shrugged, fidgeting with her fingers even though it was unlike her. "I don't know. I'm not just sure they'll be so happy to see me after so many years."Okay, it was surprising seeing her this bothered when she had always been the unbothered type.I'm talking the type to cut herself off from her family all because her dad didn't support her dream of being a sex artist.Yes, she drew sensual images both of men and women, and she was popular in Italy for that."Uhm... I don

RayaI was surprised to see Mr. Sterling at the airport when we came back the next day. Maxwell, I mean, and I went into his embrace, taking in his scent when he kissed my forehead lightly.He smelt good."Shouldn't you be with your dad though?" I asked after he pulled away, and he ignored my question, carrying an enthusiastic Kyle, who jumped into his arms beside me. Michael was also eager to greet him, and Leah kept stretching her arms to where he was from Kendall's arm where she was.He finally carried her and faced the whole lot, "Did you have a good time?"They all nodded, beaming, including Kendall, who was not a child, and he smiled."I would have expected you all to spend a bit more. Three thousand dollars was nothing.""You left it in the hands of your girlfriend, not me." Kendall responded, and I glared playfully at her."Why did you even leave your credit card with him? Thank you, though."He smiled, and we all moved to his car, where he kept our luggage, then we got in.I

Raya"Uhn, Mac, Raya," Maxwell said when I came out of the restroom, stopping on his way to my mom's hospital room, where he had been obviously headed, and he turned to face us."How did you? You were here?""Yes, I came here after seeing her," my mom, I meanHe nodded and glanced between me and Miss Sterling.I couldn't believe I had seen her.That was why she had seemed so familiar. They looked so much alike and shared almost the same features, except the womanly features she possessed."I'm guessing you two already met," he said, and we both nodded."You didn't tell me your dad was here though."He ran a hand through his forehead, sighing, "Yeah, it slipped my mind.""Can I go and see him?"He seemed taken aback by that, "Why?""Uhn? Nothing. Just...""Sure, okay"He led the way to the hospital room while I followed awkwardly behind him with his sister, and she turned to face me halfway there. "Our family can be very... You know, interrogatory."I smiled awkwardly."Just ignore any

MaxwellThe process for breaking off the fashion company from the whole group was finalized after my meeting with the shareholders the next day, and the press was informed."Di Lusso is now a separate company from its parent company after the youngest son, Mr. Maxwell Sterling, pushed for the spin-off of the company from the Sterling group. He would now be seen as the CEO of the company and run the company's activities independently from the Sterling Group."I nodded my head at the press news and met up with Raya for our meeting the next day.She was in a simple flowery gown that stole my breath away, and I had a hard time keeping my eyes off her when she got to me."What? Is there something on my face?"I cocked my eyebrow, "Beauty."She blushed, hitting my hand slightly as she tried to walk away, and I pulled her figure into mine to smear the lipstick that was on her lips on mine.She pushed me away after the success of that and glanced back at her building, "Someone could be watchi

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,
