RayaI woke up when the sun was already going down, my hair plastered around my forehead and my breath coming out in gulps because I had just had another nightmare.Oh my God, Kyle, where is he?I hurried out of the room, searching for my boy, and I pulled him into a hug when I saw him in the living room with Kendall watching a movie."Raya. Is everything alright?" Kendall asked, and I nodded, just finding comfort in the fact that my son was alive and with me... for now.I had to hand him over to William tomorrow, remember?That thought had anger coursing through my veins, but there was nothing I could really do. If anything, there was something more important to do, and I pulled away from the hug to look into his beautiful brown eyes."Are you okay, mom?" He asked, and I nodded."Of course""But you're crying."I immediately wiped away the tears I hadn't even known were falling out.But it couldn't be that bad, right?It was just for the meantime, and William had kids, so...That did

RayaI collapsed on the couch when we got back to the house, realizing I had to do something.He even knew that I had attended therapy for almost two years. What else did he not know?He was going to use everything against me, and to prove what point? that he could get whatever he wanted."I have to do something," I said to Mr. Sterling, who brought me a glass of water, and I took it thankfully, even though a bottle of beer would have been better right now.No, I was in the middle of a war, and I needed to get my sh*t together."Like what?" "I don't know. Find something on him, he freaking knows everything about me.""Okay then. Follow me."He led me up to his study, where he turned on his laptop, and he turned a news headline to me."Senator William Rodriguez has been allegedly accused by his secretary of raping her during a business trip in London."I read the news aloud."Right, I saw this, but I thought it was just a rumor.""That is what he wants people to believe, but guess wha

Raya"The motherf*cker," I said, dumbfounded when Miss. Garcia finished telling her story and Mr. Sterling ran a hand through his hair where he sat."I keep thinking there's nothing more he can do that would be worse than what he has done, and he just keeps surprising me every time.""Do you have proof?" He asked, turning to the teary-eyed lady, and she nodded."I took some photos, which he didn't know about, and a few voice recordings. I also know someone else.""What? Why didn't you tell that to the media then?""He had influence there, so of course, nothing she said or presented might have worked against him," Mr. Sterling replied before she could, and I nodded.That was true."So, what are we going to do?" I asked him as we went back down to his car, and he started the car."Give the evidence to our lawyer. Thankfully, Miss Garcia agreed to testify.""It must have been tough for her."He nodded, driving out of there, "but the world would be a better place without him."The car des

Maxwell"So what was your major in school?"I chuckled when Raya laughed too. "What is this? Are we just getting to know each other?" She asked"Okay. Then what should we talk about?"By this time, our appetizer had been served, including a glass of wine each in front of us, and I gasped when she threw the contents of her glass back in one go."That's an alcoholic drink, you know?"She waved her hand at that information, "Oh whatever, the quantity was too small."She proceeded to pour another glass for herself, which was almost double the appropriate quantity."How about you tell me about yourself first?"I raised my brows, took aback, and paused in the crab cake I was about to eat."Myself?""Yes, I hardly know things about you... Except for, of course, the things the media says, though.""So what would you like to know?"She took a bite of the crab cake, moaning softly as the seasonings melted in her mouth, "Wow, this is good.""I know right. So...""I don't know... your favorite th

RayaThe sun was shining through the curtains by the time I woke up the next morning, and I was wondering what the time was when a bout of headaches hit me almost immediately."F*ck!" I groaned, holding my head, and I got up from bed, going out into the living room where I saw Mr. Sterling.He was with a woman who was standing by the kitchen door, and they both turned to stare at me when I walked out."Raya," Mr. Sterling said, coming to my side, and he wrapped his hand around me."Are you okay?""Of course. Who..."Why did the woman look familiar though? She seemed like"So you're the woman who stole my son's heart.""Mom!""Mom?" I turned to the man who was still leading me to the couch in the living room and looked down at the simple t-shirt I was wearing. Thankfully there were shorts underneath though, and he nodded."I'm sorry, I didn't know she was here.""No, it's..."At that moment, I seemed to remember the things I had done last night, and one of them, unfortunately, was pull

RayaWe gathered evidence and stuff before the next meeting date while William paraded Kyle before the press, and I was able to see him thankfully while ignoring the hate comments aimed at me."Are you ready?" Maxwell asked me that very morning while we got ready, and I nodded.We had gradually graduated from calling him Mr. Sterling to Maxwell during our few days together, and it still sounded weird to me.If I'll be truthful, I actually like calling him Mr. Sterling too."What about you?" I asked, and he nodded too."Let's do this."Everything was set in place—my lawyer, the evidence, and Miss Garcia, who had promised to testify in court against him—and we got into his car, my stomach in shambles.I was nervous, I wouldn't lie, but also positive that we could win this.In the court, the motherf*cker came in late as he always did, and we all stood up when the judge walked in."Good morning. We're going to continue the case of Mr. William Rodriguez versus Miss. Raya Johnson, case numb

Maxwell "What is wrong? Why are you being so suspicious?" Raya asked me as I led her into a private room to discuss with her.We had requested a five-minute recess to look at things and gather our thoughts, and the judge had agreed thankfully.Now I was going to break the news to her."What is it?" She stared at me intensely like I was crazy, and I would accept that for now because what I was about to tell her was actually crazy."I need you to... I'm not even sure what I want you to do. This is going to shake your world, but I want you to know that I'm here for you and...""What is it, Mr. Sterling? We literally have less than three minutes now. What with you dragging me out of there dramatically and acting all mysterious?"I smiled at her rant but sobered up at the information I was about to give her."Here"I handed her the envelope that Ryan had brought to me in the courtroom, and he was still there, giving us space to process this together."What is this?""Go through it."She b

Raya"Mummy!" I stretched my arms wide as Kyle ran into them later that evening in the compound of William's house.Thankfully, the monster was not around, but his wife was, and she gave me a disdainful glare as I went through a heartfelt reunion with my son."I can't believe you, Golddigger.""And you guys keep forgetting the fact that you asked for custody. I wanted nothing to do with either of you.""Where is that b*tch?!" I flinched as the said beast drove into his compound—no, his driver—and got out of the car.I immediately pushed Kyle behind me and wished I had accepted Mr. Sterling's offer to follow me into the compound.I had said there was no need, though, since we were trying to protect his image."Mr. Rodriguez!" Oh, thankfully, his ever-so-dear lawyer was with him."How could you deceive me?" I was tired of talking at this point because it was as if they had all decided they were the victims.I wasn't even sure who Kyle's father was now.Actually, no, I don't know who h

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,
