RayaI gulped deeply as Mr. Sterling continued to stare at me, his Adam apple bobbing as he folded his arms against his chest and I widened my legs even more to give myself access to my cl*t.Damn, I couldn't believe I was doing this, but there was just something about the way he kept staring that made me want to tease him, show him that I had learned pretty quickly, the things he had taught me.He glanced down as my hand found my panties and I used a finger to push the material aside, feeling my wetness with just a touch.Damn, I was creaming even more with the way he kept looking at me like he wanted to devour me and make me scream, in a good way, of course, and I lolled my head back with the sensation I felt when my hand started moving around and on my cl*t.F*ck! I wasn't looking at him, but I could feel the way his eyes were following my every movement, taking it all in, and I didn't even realize when he came close to me until he pressed his hand against mine.I gasped loudly,"
Raya"Oh my God, there's no way!" Kendall was in awe by the time I told her everything that had gone down between me and my boss, and I was even surprised that I had not told her anything about it until now."Shh, Kyle is sleeping.""You guys are... Well, not f*cking but damn"I blushed and sipped the rest of the beer before standing up to go get another can. She followed me almost immediately."Yeah.""And you initiated it?""I know, stupid.""No, brave. Damn you finally took my advice which I've been telling you for a long time now, but I wasn't expecting it to be with your boss."I shrugged."Seems like he loves it too" she commented, and I shrugged again, thinking of how he had looked and stared at me the whole time.I bit my lip just thinking of how sweetly he had devoured them just minutes ago."Oh, whatever. It's just sex.""Well, that is not so bad either, except if you're not fine with it."I thought about that, "I'm fine with it... For now"She smiled and collected the can f
RayaOh, f*ck!The whispers were loud in my ear even though I couldn't hear them and I fidgeted with my fingers in front of me.There were about fifteen to twenty of the elegant women I had been expecting to see in elegant dresses, but instead of elegant dresses, they were all dressed in pajamas and hairbands on their heads."Oh I'm sorry, I didn't tell you about the theme beforehand. Just found out pretty recently myself," Tyla said beside me, and I nodded to her."No, it's fine.""Guys meet Raya". Tyla introduced me to the group, while Miss. Curlery went to have her seat on the floor of the living room that could serve as a chair either way because of how shining and glittery it looked."Hi... Hi..." A few of them muttered but some just stared"Come on guys, welcome her.""Who is she though?"Diane raised up an empty glass from where she sat and nodded to an empty space on the floor where the women were gathered sitting together, and I stared at her, clueless.""Why don't you start
MaxwellBrrng brrng brrngThe sound of my phone vibrating woke me from my alcohol-induced sleep and I wondered who would be calling me so early in the morning.It was a Sunday, so that meant work free, right? Except if it was family.I sighed and picked up the phone, accepting the call and the annoying voice of my best friend filled the line, "dude, when did you become a father?"Ugh! I should have known it was something stupid he was going to say."What the f*ck! Ryan, it's 4am in the morning..." I checked the time on my phone before I said the last bit."I'm not kidding.""Yeah. F*ck off!"I cut off the line and switched off the phone before going back to sleep, and I woke up to a banging on my door a few hours later.Approximately one hour later."Ugh!" I groaned and vowed to kill that motherf*cker if it turned out to be Ryan again, but it turned out to be my mother."You nincompoop, when did you impregnate her?" She asked almost immediately, hitting me on my arm as she walked in,
Maxwell"What? Is it true?" I ignored Tyla who had asked that question, looking like she had caught me cheating or something, and I turned to face Raya, who hurried to my side."Mommy," Kyle said, and she collected him from my arms."Sweetheart""Are you okay?" I asked her, raising my hand to swipe her hair from her face and she flinched, making me realize that the two other ladies were still there, Diane and Tyla."Are you guys having a lover's reunion or what?" Diane asked, and I turned to her."Thank you for looking after her, we'll be taking our leave now.""Wait?!" Tyla came to my front and folded her arms. "What?" I asked, exasperated. "Are you not going to explain or is it actually true?""And why should I explain myself to you? It's not like we were dating.""What?"I took hold of Raya's arms, who was still staring at us in shock, and dragged her out of there."You should have told her something, anything. Now they're going to think it's true."I ignored her complaint and op
MaxwellI was still fuming by the time we walked into the headquarters, the employees whispering as I walked by, and I tried my best not to hit the motherf*cker that was walking in front of me.What?Announcement of my engagement to Tyla.Of course, he knew I wouldn't like that and that's why he had suggested it in the first place."The Caddels have agreed to meet us tonight for dinner, and we will have a talk before we conclude our decision.""Dad...""No words from you young man, this is the only way we can calm things down, and you had better not f*ck things up"I sighed and ran a hand through my already ruffled hair.I had only managed to put on a new suit and pants which the housekeeper had gotten for me in the house before hurrying out of the house, and now we were on our way to meet the board of directors."We knew this was going to happen? What with your former history of f*cking around?""This is not the time to throw blame at each other. The deed has been done, and it's now
Raya"Who is she?""She should be ashamed.""How could she have slept with her boss and have his child?""Sl*t!""Wh*re""That b*tch, let me just get my hands on her""How dare she seduce my man?"The comments on different platforms were unending, and I wondered if it was just that people didn't have sense, or they didn't want to use it.Kyle was eight, I started working for Mr. Sterling months ago and had never met before that, so how could he have fathered the child?I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, the bottle of water I had been sipping already empty.I sighed again and stood up to get another bottle of water when a person in dark clothing moved around the room."Arghhh!" "Hey, hey, calm down, it's me"I stopped screaming when the lights suddenly turned on and Kyle sat awake, looking alarmed."Uhn... Ryan?" I remembered him as Mr. Sterling's friend"Yes, it's me.""How...""How did I get in? I know the door code"Of course, he will, since he's his best friend, right? I had
Maxwell"Raya" I said the minute I saw her, dressed in a loose shirt and shorts and her son was beside her."Good morning Mr. Sterling"I didn't like the tone of her voice. If anything, it sounded sarcastic."Are you okay?" I asked, unsure of what to say considering my actions lately, and I carried Kyle who came to greet me,"Uncle Max!""Hey buddy, how have you been?""Good""And your mom?" Since she wasn't answering me.He shrugged."How soon can we go back to our lives?" She asked, going to the kitchen island and I placed Kyle on a stool by the surface."As soon as things die down"It was obvious she had seen the statement, but in my defense, I was not the one who had written it.I had just woken up to the statement on the internet this morning and had rushed over immediately to discuss it with her, but unfortunately, she had seen it first and obviously didn't want anything to do with me now. "And when will that be? Kyle has to go to school and I... I can't just stay around doing
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,
