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 dust finally settled after a few days of staying in the luxurious mansion of Mr. Sterling and it was Kendall that came to get us, her son, happy to see Kyle and me happy to see her."Damn, I was worried.""I know right, me too.""Are you okay?" She asked, and I glanced at Ryan who was standing in the room. Mr. Sterling was nowhere to be found."Of course."I shrugged off her worry. "It's time to get back to work"I was going through my emails after a while when I saw the email. From the management.It was something I had been expecting after the whole issue and I clicked on it."This is to inform you, Miss Johnson, that you've been transferred back to the headquarters. You'll be assigned to your boss once you report back to work as soon as possible."Sh*t.But it was all for the best, right? After all, I wasn't sure I wanted to face Mr. Sterling again after everything that had happened. The way I had been feeling, I wanted to get rid of it and this was the best way.I sighe

MaxwellMy head was pounding when I woke up that morning, my lips chapped and my throat dry from constant alcohol and I stood up to get a glass of water.I was to resume work today and I thought of seeing Raya again.Ryan's words popped into my mind."You like her.""Deny it all you want"Of course, I was going to deny it because I never thought I would have feelings for another woman. Diane had occupied a lot of my mind and I hadn't even noticed the slipping in of my secretary.I ran a hand through my hair and went back to my room where I hopped into the shower and I prepared for work.No coffee or breakfast, the way Raya was always feeding me, but hopefully, we could sort things out after today.I couldn't bear seeing her angry with me and i didn't want to lose my connection with Kyle either.I got into my car after another glass of water went down my throat and I made a mental note to take her signature coffee once I got to the office, only she wasn't the one I saw when I got to th

Maxwell"What the f*ck?" I said when I craddled her frail form in my hand, and she held onto me with the little strength she had."M-mr. Sterling...""What the heck, what is wrong with you?""I..." She hiccupped while still crying, and I helped her up before leading her into the building.Her friend was out of her apartment the minute I knocked on the door, and she saw Raya, and she held onto her with both hands, "what is wrong?" She asked me and I shrugged. "I don't know, I met her like this outside the building.""Mummy" Her eyes immediately directed me to stay with Kyle while she took care of Raya and I nodded, walking into her own apartment while she went into Raya's with her.What the f*ck was going on?Why had William come to her apartment by this time of night and left her like that because it was pretty obvious that he was the cause of her reaction?I remembered the way she had been shaken up by William the other night at the resort too, but I had just shaken it off as somet

RayaThe sun was shining through my windows the next morning, my body heavy, and I realized that my hand was tied down to something when I got myself completely."Uhn?" I questioned, opening my eyes to see what it was, only to find a head of hair where my hand was supposed to be.It was actually there but under the brown-haired head. I shifted only for the person to shift too, and I gasped at the face that turned to face mine, still closed.Mr. Sterling?He had stayed behind.Of course, I remembered the reason why he had been there in the first place, maybe not why he had come to my apartment, but the fact that he had helped me up when William had left me shattered.I managed to get my hand off his hand under his head and I stared at him for a while before touching the hair on his face. It was ruffled and falling into his eyes and he groaned, making me flinch away when he shifted on the bed.F*ck, what was I doing?Just yesterday, my nightmare had come knocking and here I was touchin

MaxwellI hadn't told her. Not because I couldn't, but because of all that had happened. It wouldn't be wise to hit her with my uncertainty when she was going through a lot herself.I parked properly in the garage and groaned when I saw my mom's car.She was going to kill me, not just because I had stood up her friend's daughter, but because I had promised not to forget and still didn't go.It was not like I had forgotten though.I ran a hand through my hair again, my demeanor defeated by the way Raya had sounded when she told me those words. "Stop coming to this place.""Thank you for everything."It was as if she was cutting all ties with me and her getting transferred back to the headquarters was going to help with that.I sighed and walked into the house after unlocking the door and my mom greeted me with a scowl, "how could you?"I sighed and went to the fridge where I grabbed a glass of water, and she followed me. "I'm asking a question. I personally called you to remind you

Raya"I-isabella" I stuttered in the corner of the grocery store where we were, alone. It seemed like she had arranged for it to be so, because a man stood at the front of the shop preventing anyone from entering.Even the open sign now showed closed, the employees standing in a corner.F*ck."Raya..."Does she remember me now?"Uhm... How can I help you? I no longer work for Mr. Sterling and...""You can drop the pretense. I know you're the mistress of my husband and have a child for him""What? Mistress?" She nodded, quite calm.Was that why she had come to meet me?"You must be mistaken, I...""Didn't he come to see you some nights ago?""Yes he did but...""And dated you years ago?"F*ck, just how much did she know?"And if you think I've forgotten who you are? I haven't, Raya Johnson."Uhn, what did she mean by that?"I was confused at first about why you looked familiar, but it later dawned on me. Tacky nerd in high school and top student of our class."F*ck! She did remember m

Mr. CEO and His Secretary Chapter 163
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
Mr. CEO and His Secretary Chapter 162
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
Mr. CEO and His Secretary Chapter 161
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
Mr. CEO and His Secretary Chapter 158
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
Mr. CEO and His Secretary Chapter 157
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
Mr. CEO and His Secretary Chapter 156
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,
