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

    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

    Maxwell "Babe?!" I called again after a few minutes of my girlfriend denying me entry into our bedroom's bathroom, and I wondered what she was doing there.The water had stopped running for a while now, so I would have expected her to step out immediately, but she had spent about a few more minutes there, making me worried."I'm done," she said, stepping out, and I took in the long-ass robe she had on; it was almost as if she was telling me she was in no mood for sex or foreplay tonight.I mean, I wouldn't mind as long as I held her in my arms, but... I had thought...I stood up from the bed, closing the work stuff I had been working on during the main time, and she gave me a smile."Sorry, I was just... taking my time."I nodded my head and gave her a kiss on the forehead before going into the bathroom to have a shower too.The process was quick and fast, the water running down my body as I stared into nothing, and I got out of the shower a few minutes later, wrapping a towel around

    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,
