Maxwell He wasn't the one who had sent the package? F*ck, he had found the camera. "Have you found it?" I asked Ryan, who tapped away, busy, inside another one of my cars where I waited, and he turned the laptop to face me after a while. "This is the last property he has in the state, but how sure are you that he is one of his houses? I mean, he wouldn't be so stupid as to do something criminal in one of his properties." "Then where else will he do it, one of your properties? Of course he'll feel safe in one of his" I started the car at another property that he supposedly owned and drove away to the address he gave me. God, I hope she's okay. Who would have thought that that asshole would turn on his words like that, but it was understandable. He was probably wary of the fact that I had seen it, or worse still, that she had shown it to the police. "Have you sent it to them?" "Yes, though I'm pretty sure that they've seen it. I'll email them the address when we've c

Raya It wasn't until we got back into Maxwell's car, Kyle in my arms about two hours later, that I realized I had just faced the man that made me the weak, vulnerable person I was today. I had slapped his face, stabbed his thighs... The thought of it had my hands shaking almost immediately. "Raya, relax; the adrenaline is just rushing in because you both are safe," Maxwell said as he covered me with the blanket he had gotten from the police, and he winced at the pain the movement caused him. F*ck, I had been so caught up in myself, I forgot that he had faced four men all on his own too. If anything, he had done all the work. "Are you okay?" I asked, and he nodded, leaning back again in his seat. "We have to go get Kyle checked; I think he was drugged." I agreed to that because even now, he was still sleeping. God, I couldn't believe I had almost lost him. "Come here." I went into the arms of Maxwell at the back where we were seated, and Ryan ignored us while he dr

MaxwellI woke up to my girlfriend by my bed hours later once the anesthesia for the stitching had come off, and she sat up on her seat the minute I moved my arm slightly."Maxwell, are you okay?"She leaned over me, her side pressing into mine as she tried to assess me, and she jumped back at my wince, "Oh my God, I'm sorry.""It's fine." I said finally adjusting the best enough for me to sit up, and she came closer again. "Thank you for everything."I nodded. "I'll do it again if it's to protect you and my son."Her eyes jumped to mine at that last statement."You..."I nodded. "I accept it. Even without the DNA, I thought of him as my son already. I just didn't expect that I was actually his father."I nodded, covering my mouth as some wave of emotions hit me again, and he stretched out his arms for me to hug him.I did, sniffing, "I thought you didn't want it; with the way you ran out, I thought...""No, I just needed some time to think, and that's all. I'm actually glad that he'

RayaDiane called me later that evening to ask me how I was, surprising considering the fact that we weren't close but also not surprising because the news was everywhere.Even news outlets were trying to get me to talk to them, so I didn't bother going back to my apartment and stayed in Maxwell's house."I'm fine""That must have been scary; so sorry about that.""Yeah, it's fine. I appreciate this.""See you later then."I cut the call after a few more minutes of awkward silence, and I turned to Maxwell when he walked into the room.He had just put Kyle to bed despite the fact that he had slept for long hours due to the drug, and he sat on the bed beside me."Who is that?""Diane"He cocked his eyebrow. "She was just concerned, though I wonder how she knows my number."Now that I thought about it, that was odd.And another thing that was odd."Right, did I tell you that William said he didn't send the package?""Yes, I heard him.""But that's weird, though. Then who sent it?"He shr

MaxwellMy mom dragged me into the closest guest room she could find the minute we finished eating and she closed the door behind her, turning on me."Your son?"Yup, I knew this was coming."Yes""Are you... Are you being generous, you know, like charity or...""No, he's actually my son, my biological son. Crazy, right?"She smacked me on the arm without any warning and would have done it again if I didn't dodge, "Mom?""You freaking told us that he wasn't your child!"Right."I didn't know he was mine then. I only found out recently.""So she was keeping it away from you?""No, no, we met each other nine years ago but didn't find out till recently."She stared at me incredulously, "Are you kidding me?""No, no," I sighed."I know it's hard to believe, but here..."I handed her the DNA test I had done with our family doctor, and she believed me only when she saw the hospital name at the top of the paper."Wow... I mean."She was unsure how to feel, and I understood.She literally jus

RayaI visited my mom again one last time before we went to Italy, the view from the transparent glass of her hospital room door telling me that she was still sick but at least responding to treatment, and I turned my face into the embrace of my boyfriend, who stood beside me.I was torn but afraid also.It was just two months before I lost her... or less, since it has been almost a week since I heard the news."It'll be alright," Maxwell said as he soothed me by the door, and we walked out into his car after another minute, where he started the car engine again.Our next destination was his private airport, where we were to board our flight to Italy, and Kyle was just as excited as I was."The little family has arrived," Maxwell's sister, Macayla, said the minute we walked into the plane, and I was startled enough to drop my bag, its contents spilling out."Mac! Can you behave more maturely?""What?" She said as she bent to pick up my things, and she sent a glare in Maxwell's way, "I

RayaThankfully, no one noticed that we were gone during our little session, and I was glad we came out when we did because Macayla walked in with Kyle at that moment.She gave us a look as we were yet to be in our seats and were probably looking all tousled though she didn't say anything, thankfully—not that she would have said something in the presence of Kyle, but she kept her peace and sat across from us, Kyle jumping into Maxwell's lap.I could tell that he was already becoming his favorite person above me, something I would have gotten jealous of if he wasn't having a great time bonding with his dad, and I remembered the way Maxwell had looked, going through Kyle's baby photos.We had gone to pick them up the night before, deciding to stay in my apartment because it's been long since I'd been there in a while, and he had laid beside me while I told him stories of when we were both younger, me at 22 and my kid at 1, Kyle with his friends in Kendall's apartment.*Flashback*"There
Mr. CEO and His Secretary Chapter 148
RayaThe first thing we all did after settling down and choosing our rooms—me and Maxwell obviously together in one and Kyle in another—was sleep.Like I couldn't say how long I was in bed for, daydreaming, but it wasn't until afternoon the next day that I woke up to a delicious smell wafting past my nose and the sun rays shining on my face.I groaned as I stretched out my lips, and a warm feeling spread throughout my body at the kiss that someone pressed to my forehead.That person was none other than Maxwell, of course, and the delicious smell I had been smelling was from the tray of breakfast he had obviously woken up earlier to prepare for me.It wasn't anything special—a sandwich and juice—but the thought was what was special for me."Good morning, sweetheart.""Morning..." Should I say love, sweetheart too? It was just that I hadn't really called him an endearment name before, and he noticed it from the way I drew the morning out, making him chuckle.He stayed above me like that
