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

MaxwellI was still fuming by the time Diane walked into my living room the next day, her hand on her head and a groan escaping her lips, and she did a double take when she saw me."What the f*ck?! Why am I here?"She must not remember anything."I should be asking you that. Why do you always come to me when you're drunk and don't tell me you drove to my place drunk?"Okay, that was not what I had planned to say.I shouldn't be concerned about her, but driving when she was that drunk was dangerous."F*ck! I didn't know I came here. Sorry.""Is that all?" She asked after a while of sipping the coffee I had made for her... us and I glanced up at her."Of course."There was no way I was going to mention the fact that she had kissed me and asked me to sleep with her, even though I was fuming about that."Oh, thank God."I gulped down the rest of my coffee and moved to the kettle to pour myself another, wishing myself not to ask the question... But I did."And how are you?"She glanced up

RayaI spent the rest of the days counting down to the hypnosis appointment thinking about how it'll go and what could go wrong, and it didn't help that it was just three days in between.That was all the days I had to overthink things.Kendall wasn't helping either, as she tried to deter me from the whole process."It's dangerous," she said."But I have to know who Kyle's father is.""And what if he's an asshole?"I had no answer to that but thought of it as we drove to the appointment.At least I would know who he is and give Kyle the option to know who his father is or not."Are you okay?" Maxwell asked, holding my hand as he had been doing a lot, and it was so heartwarming that he was standing by me in all this.Like never in my life would I have thought that there would be someone who would be so willing to stand by me when I had nothing to offer him.He was literally the one spending the most money, doing the most things, and it made me feel weird at times, I wouldn't lie, thoug

MaxwellThe ride back home was silent, Raya fidgeting with her nails and staring out the window as I drove her back to her apartment, and I had to use all of my control not to ask her what she had seen during the hypnosis.It was obvious that she had seen something apart from the relapse into other memories, but I wasn't sure what it was.The father of Kyle?Why had she called my name though?I had thought it was my imagination, but it kept ringing in my head."Mr. Sterling?"I wondered what that meant."So... I started halfway through because I couldn't bear the silence, and she turned to look at me, hope in her eyes.For what?I wasn't sure, but I spoke anyway."We need to register you for the SAT exams.""Oh..." I saw the relief flood into her eyes.What had she been thinking I would ask?"...the SAT.""We have to register you this month to get you to ensure you can partake in the exam next month, and there's your portfolio too.""Right."She seemed quite detached."We should get y

Raya"M-mr. Sterling..."F*ck! I hope he hadn't heard any of the statements that Kendall made. She was just as appalled as I was behind me, and I breathed a sigh of relief when Maxwell suddenly smiled."Hey, I came to tell you something. Are you busy?""No, no, I'm... You can come in."I paused by turning around when he touched my arm. "Uhm... I think we should have the conversation out here.""Uhn?" I was surprised by that."W-why?""It's quite sensitive, and the kids are in, right?"As if on cue, Kyle came out of his room for whatever reason and ran to meet him"Uncle Max!"More like Daddy Max.Oh God, I couldn't believe he was actually the father of my kid.Was I dreaming?Had I seen wrong?Probably, maybe I had just wanted a good father figure for my son and concocted him in my mind because how do I want to defend the fact that a man I met recently who is my boss is also the person I had a random one night stand with making him the father of my child?Like, how would he even feel

RayaI don't know what I was doing here.Maybe it was the unnecessary guilt or unwanted emotions; I found myself in front of my mom's hospital room anyways by 3am in the morning.I hadn't been able to sleep due to the news that Maxwell had given me and the note he had given me, as I said earlier hadn't helped.It had told me exactly where she was and how to find her if I wanted to.So here I am.I wasn't even sure what to do or say if she was awake.She wasn't though, I wouldn't say thankfully, but she had all these wires and stuff attached to her, like without them she would sail away, and I wasn't sure where the thought came from, but I found myself thinking about what would happen if I just removed that oxygen from her nose.She would die, of course.Jesus.I glanced away from the transparent part of the door where I had been looking at her.That was not why I had come here.Why would I even think of that?I slipped to the ground in front of the door and ran a hand through my hair

RayaI woke up the next day to the sun shining on my face and a pounding headache as expected, but what I wasn't expecting was the familiar bedroom I found myself in.I've been here before; I just couldn't remember where.Oh wait, I know that painting...Maxwell's house.What?I got out of bed, stumbling immediately my foot touched the ground, and I took a minute to gather myself before walking out into the hallway.This was indeed Maxwell's house, but what was I doing here?From what I could remember, I went for a drink with Diane, and then... And then what?Oh God, I thought I said I would quit drinking.I had just really needed it earlier that morning and drank way more than I should, so..."Maxwell?" I said when I entered the kitchen and he turned to me with a worried face, his form immediately moving towards me."Are you okay? Are you fine?"Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"Y-yes""Jesus, why did you go for a drink, and with Diane?""I just... I needed a drink.""Right."He seemed

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,
