Maxwell"I shouldn't have left her alone back then. I take it as my fault. I should have noticed how unstable she was back then and stood by her despite her flaws, though I'm not sure I would have met my wife if I hadn't done that. Anyway, I'm willing to take responsibility for my child now and give him the luxurious lifestyle that is befitting of a Rodriguez."The motherf*cker. Was he trying to appeal to the public or what?In the statement William Rodriguez had given, he said he had been unaware of his child, living his life without a care in the world, until he found out from the child from the secret child scandal involving me and Raya.I ruffled my hair, wishing that it hadn't come out. Then maybe... Just maybe Raya would have continued living her life without the eyes of the public on her and her abusive ex trying to claim her son back.I couldn't help but blame myself."Maxwell?" I raised my head when I heard my name and realized that Silas, who I had been calling, had picked

Raya It was mortifying to accept the help of Mr. Sterling after vehemently rejecting it the other day, but there was nothing I could do. I couldn't afford a lawyer, and he was genuinely reliable after everything I'd been through. I thought about what he said as I stood in the room I was going to be staying in from now on: "I can't help falling for you." Was he genuine? I mean, I don't think he would have gone to all this trouble if he just wanted to get into my pants. I sighed and sat down on the bed, drained and emotionally exhausted from the happenings around me, and my thoughts went back to the court paper I had been served. Why was he suddenly doing this, though? A way of torturing me and punishing me. It wasn't as if he hadn't done worse for absolutely no reason back then, when we were dating. I shut my eyes in an attempt to shut out the memory of things he had done to me then, and I opened them when Kyle walked in. He was looking... I don't know, sad... What I said t

RayaThe lawyer came in the next morning, looking all professional in a black suit and pants, and he asked me some questions he deemed important."Have you confirmed that Mr. Rodriguez is indeed the father?""Of course. I haven't been with anyone else than him since my college days" except for Mr. Sterling now, and the thought of the kiss we had shared the other night had me touching my cheeks from the heat that spread through it."How long were you both dating during your college years?""Two""Okay, and did you notice anything that could deem him unworthy of becoming the father?"Oh, there were a lot, but I wasn't sure how to say them."Uhm... he was quite... abusive.""Abusive in what way?""Uhm..." I fidgeted with my fingers, unsure of how to answer that."Take your time, please; you don't have to rush it.""Okay sir."****We walked out of the study minutes later with Mr. Dereg, the lawyer in front of me."Wow, you both are done so quickly." Mr. Sterling said when he saw us, and

RayaI got more agitated as the day for the first hearing got closer, and I had nothing to do with myself but draw.Fashion designs I had thought of before, and dreams I had kept bottled up. I drew them in an attempt to feel light, but none of them helped."What are you doing?" I turned around by the pool, where I sat staring at nothing, and I turned back to the water when I saw it to be Mr. Sterling.I wondered if he didn't have anything to do, as he was always around."Don't you have things to do?" I asked before I could shut my mouth, and he smiled."There's something called working from home, you know."I glanced at him again before voicing my next statement: "Is it because of me?""Of course, I..." He seemed to realize almost immediately the confession he had made again, and I sighed.I guess he really did like me, and I'll be lying if I say I didn't feel anything for him."Why though? Why do you like me?"He shifted on his seat awkwardly and said, "I... I don't know. I guess it

MaxwellI felt all thoughts of murder and skinning a certain William Rodriguez alive fly out of my head at the words that came out of my secretary's mouth that evening."What?" "Sleep with me."There was no way she was serious, right?But it looked like she was, with the way she was moving closer to me and looking all seductive.It was as if a switch had turned in her head, and I couldn't really blame it on the drink since it was only one can of beer we had both had.She was very sober and determined to drag me into this. I could see it in her eyes. "Raya... we shouldn't..."She sat on my leg and straddled me, running her hand down my cheeks, and it took all of me not to wrap my hands around her."Show me that sex is enjoyable. That it's not all about pleasing men but all about two people enjoying it."I finally found my voice of reasoning and stopped her from moving on me. "Raya, we shouldn't; you're drunk.""And do you think I am?"Of course she wasn't, but that was the only excus

RayaI tensed the minute Mr. Sterling's hand went to his pants.F*ck, we were actually going to do it.Even though I had been the one to edge him on and tell him that I wanted sex, I couldn't help but freeze at the thought that we were actually going to do it."Hey, just relax. We... don't have to do it if you...""No." I raised my head to seal my lips with his.I had to do this, or I might never.I wanted to prove to my younger self that I could actually overcome my fears, and I felt this was the way to start."Let's do it."My hand went to his pants in order to help him, and he let me for a while before he stopped me.I saw him take a deep breath."W-what... Why?" "I'm trying my best not to lose my control."I wasn't sure if that should make me smile or nervous."Uhm..."He finally took off his pants and then his underwear, and I gasped at the size of his manh**d.Okay, maybe this was a bad idea after all.William could not even compare to his size, not to mention his length, and i

RayaI smiled slightly when the hand of a familiar person slipped into mine at the court a few hours later, and Kendall sent me the stink eye from where she sat beside me too."Wow, I can't believe you guys," she muttered, and I smiled, turning to her."I can hear you.""It was meant for you to hear."Ryan was thankfully with Kyle, so he wouldn't have to wonder who the tall man who stepped into the courtroom at that moment was.If possible, I wanted them to never meet, and that feeling intensified when he glanced in my direction.I saw him raise an eyebrow at Mr. Sterling, who was wearing a facemask, and walk up to me."I wasn't expecting you to afford an attorney.""Well, everything won't always go the way you want."He smirked and nodded. "Well, I'm willing to test out that theory."Thankfully, he didn't try to touch me or get even closer to where I sat, and I saw Kendall barely holding on to her control while Mr. Sterling tightened his hand around mine.He was fuming. I didn't need

Maxwell The motherf*cker was having a good time, right? I could tell from the way he kept smiling and waved to the reporters as we came out. "Who is the kid going to stay with now?" "Have you both come to an agreement?" I led Raya to the side, as he waited to address the reporters, and her friend met us halfway to where my car was parked. "I'm so going to kill that b*tch." "Hey! Calm the f*ck down. Shouting and threatening is not going to help." She surprisingly calmed down and helped me with Raya, who was not even speaking. She just kept sobbing, and that, I tell you, was making me think of murder ideas. Also filled me with guilt, because I was part of the reasons why that temporary order had leaned in Mr. Rodriguez's favor. Who would have thought though, that that silly prank by me in order to get her account blocked would be why she was crying now. I hated myself just by thinking about it. "Miss. Johnson..." A man's voice stopped us before we could get to my car,

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
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,
