“N-nothing,” Mia stuttered, looking at Shaw. Her heart was in her mouth. Grace also didn’t know what to say. She managed to clear her throat and speak up.“Just some female issues,” Grace said. As far as she was concerned, that was the only thing she had to say to keep men from asking unnecessary questions.“Oh alright,” Shaw said, and dropped the cups of coffee. Suddenly, he froze. “Did you both come across Ahmed on your way here?”Grace was about to speak, but Mia gave her the signal to stop speaking. She didn’t want to tell Shaw about anything that concerned Ahmed yet. They had seen him and he smirked, asking her what she was doing at her boss’ house so late at night. She didn’t have anything to say to him, and he told her that she could come and meet him at his office. And that he had all the information that she needed. He knew that she was looking for every information that concerned Shaw and the bridge that her parents died in. She was shocked that he knew everything that sh

Mia didn’t know what to expect. She was still glowing from everything that went on the night before. The way he held her while she slept. She woke up to the sight of him looking at her affectionately, scared to move so that she won't wake up. She was extremely shocked that he could be that caring. And she was shocked that he was ready before she finished having her bath. Well, that’s just the way men get dressed, isn’t it?This time, he didn’t take her to the posh restaurants that she was trying so hard to get adjusted to. He took her to one of those homely roadside cafes. As soon as they walked in, the sound of the bell went off at the door. The nostalgic feeling consumed Mia as the smell of coffee and cakes filled her nostrils. She looked at Shaw, and he took his hands in hers as he led her to the inner part of the restaurant. The people eating there were obviously coming just after a run. “We have to go to the office really soon,” she said, with her voice shaking. He stopped in h

Kim’s phone beeped. She had been expecting the message ever since. She had been pacing around the house. And for some reason, Shaw’s face had filled her brain. She wasn’t able to think properly. All she wanted was the news that she was yet to get. And now that she was getting the text that she had been waiting for, she was smiling. Check the news stations, the message had said. She quickly picked her remote and checked out the entertainment station. Just as expected, the pictures of Shaw and Mia had filled the television. They were sitting there in a restaurant, looking at each other affectionately. Kim was slightly annoyed that she wasn’t the one sitting there with Shaw at the table. But it didn’t change the fact that all of Shaw’s life was now out in the open. He could barely go out in public with her if it wasn’t displayed out there. He wouldn’t have had any idea that she was the one that caused it anyway. He would probably think that Mia was doing everything,and it was Mia’s fau

Shaw was vibrating with so much anger; he couldn’t bear to say a single word to Mia. He kept looking in her own direction of the car, without talking. She also felt his eyes on her, but she didn’t want to be the first to talk to him at that point in time. Her feet were tapping in the car. For some reason, she was extremely nervous. She felt like they had been watched the whole time. There was something that was going on. Something that she had no idea about. Something that she was scared was going to harm her. Was it Liam? The police might have gone to serve him with the FIR papers. But he wouldn’t be stupid enough to still want to be close to her, would he? Would he still want to harm her and take the baby? Mia felt that there was another reason entirely that made him want to take the baby from her. She knew that it wasn’t because he wanted to eagerly be the father to the baby. It was definitely far from that. Her hand flew to her stomach and she clutched to it, like it would calm h

Mia managed to climb into the bed without making much noise. She couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear as she laid right beside Shaw. He groaned a bit, and buried his nose in her head. She moaned, and wrapped her legs around him as he ran his hands up and down her back. There was nothing she wanted more than his company at that point in time. She snuggled more into him so that her stomach was directly resting on him. He was going to find out about the baby anytime soon anyways. She closed her eyes and allowed herself dream.***The sunlight was gleaming into Mia’s eyes. As she managed to open them, she noticed that Shaw was not in the bed. She frowned before heading downstairs. She was shocked when she saw him in the kitchen. He had already prepared breakfast, and the whole house was filled of the aroma. Grace was just taking the last pieces off her plate as she smiled at her. “Good morning, lazy youth,” Grace greeted, and Mia just smiled. Shaw finally turned and looked at him as he

Liam swallowed hard as he waited inside the restaurant. The person that had texted him said she would meet him by 10am in the morning like it was a business meeting. He was dressed in a suit, as he actually had to attend a meeting. He felt extremely stupid for coming to the restaurant to meet somebody that only texted him. It didn’t matter. He just wanted revenge and that was all that mattered. He didn’t even let Maya know. She was still fast asleep when he had slipped out of the house. He couldn’t help but order a cup of coffee. He let the hot liquid slide down his throat as he watched people go to their work places. It made him feel let out. He was supposed to be living the life in his mansion. But his tactful grandfather had stopped all that from happening for a while and he loved Maya too much to get another woman pregnant. Adoption was not in the question either. Maya wouldn’t take care of the child, and his grandfather wouldn’t let an adopted child become his heir. He held his

Mia had fallen asleep on the couch when the door clicked open. She hurried up, ready to grab anything and hurl it at whoever was trying to get into the house. A pillow was her closest. She quickly hurled it at the door, with her heart beating fast.“Whoa, calm down tigress,” a soft chuckle came from the person. Mia collapsed back on the chair when she saw that it was just Grace. “Why didn’t you call out the way you usually do when you come home?” she asked, getting angry at Grace because she didn’t know who else to pour her frustration on. Grace cocked her head to one side, and placed all the snacks that she had gotten on her way home on the center table. She looked around, nodding her head in approval. “Shaw really did a whole lot of work on this place. New furniture, new walls, and everything. Can we ever pay him back for everything?”Mia shook her head. “But we have to. I don’t think it’s right for him to be doing favors like this for a staff.”Grace tapped her forehead slightly,

Ahmad walked into the office of their newest contractor. Different companies had submitted their proposals to them.“Ah, Mr. Ahmad.” The CEO said, standing up and offering him a handshake.Ahmad left the handshake hanging in the air, and proceeded to sitting down without being asked to sit. The CEO cleared his throat and sat down uncomfortably.“How may I help you?” he asked, not seeking any kind of familiarity now.“I heard that Shaw’s Company submitted a proposal to your company.”That made the CEO smile again. “Yes, he did. And businessman to businessman, whoever helped him put that proposal together was the best. He or she knew what they were doing. He will definitely be awarded the contract. Quality and quantity all in one.”“It will definitely be the little woman following him around,” Ahmad murmured to himself.“How much will it take for you to award that contract to someone else?”The CEO frowned. “What do you mean? He is the best one here, topping the list.”Ahmad played arou

Shaw woke up early, his body aching with exhaustion, but his mind refused to let him rest. The events of last night replayed like a broken record—Mia’s heartbroken face, the anger in her voice, the way she walked out without looking back. The sting of her absence was unbearable.He turned his head and found himself staring at Jake, who was still asleep on the couch. His small chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm, his little fingers curled into the blanket. Shaw studied him, memorizing every feature—the same dark brown hair, the familiar sharp nose, and those piercing blue eyes. His eyes.For four years, he had a son and never knew. How different would things have been if Alicia had told him? Would he have been a good father? Would he have been there for Jake in all the ways he needed?A heavy sigh left Shaw’s lips as he rubbed his tired eyes. There was no use wondering about the past. The only thing he could do now was figure out how to move forward. But could he fix the damage that

Shaw stood in the middle of his living room, his mind still racing from the chaos Alicia had just dropped into his life. His breath was uneven, his fists clenched at his sides. The silence in the room felt heavier than ever. The only sound was the ticking of the clock, each second a reminder that Mia was gone.His gut twisted.He wanted to chase after her, to explain everything, But what could he even say? Mia had been right—this changed everything.A small voice broke through the tension.“Mister?”Shaw turned slowly, his gaze falling on the boy standing in the doorway, his little hand still clutching Alicia’s. His wide blue eyes—very much similar to Shaw’s own—were filled with curiosity, maybe even a little nervousness.Shaw’s heart clenched.This was his child.His son.He exhaled, running a hand through his hair before glaring at Alicia. “You need to start talking. Now.”Alicia sighed, stepping further into the house. “I know you’re angry. You have every right to be. But let’s no

Shaw gripped the doorknob tightly, his heartbeat pounding in his ears as he stared at the woman standing in front of him.Alicia.It had been years since he last saw her. Years since she walked out of his life without a single word. He had convinced himself she was gone for good, a part of his past that would never resurface. Yet here she was, standing on his doorstep as if she had never left.But it wasn’t just her presence that sent his world tilting off its axis.She wasn’t alone.Clutching tightly onto her hand was a small boy—no older than four—with dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes. Eyes that mirrored his own so perfectly that it stole the breath from his lungs.Shaw swallowed hard, his grip on the doorknob tightening. His mind screamed at him to deny it, to look away, to refuse to acknowledge what was standing right in front of him.“You…” His voice was hoarse, the words sticking in his throat. “What are you doing here?”Alicia arched an eyebrow, her lips curling into a sm

Mia stepped into the shower, letting the warm water wash over her skin as she took a deep breath. She wanted to leave early, knowing that Shaw’s place was quite a distance away and that traffic might hold her up. She didn’t want to arrive late, especially when he was cooking for her. The thought of him in the kitchen made her smile. She had never really imagined him doing something as domestic as preparing a meal, but the idea was oddly endearing.After rinsing off, she wrapped herself in a towel and walked into her bedroom. She stood in front of her closet, scanning through her clothes. She didn’t want to overdress and make it seem like she was trying too hard, but she also didn’t want to show up looking too casual. Settling on a pair of well-fitted jeans and a simple yet elegant top, she got dressed and brushed through her hair, letting it fall naturally over her shoulders.Picking up her phone, she quickly typed out a message:Mia: On my way. See you soon.With that, she grabbed he

Maya leaned over the sink in the women’s restroom, cupping cold water in her hands before splashing it onto her face. Droplets trickled down her cheeks as she gripped the sink edge, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her heart twisted painfully in her chest. She looked the same—same dark curls, same expressive brown eyes—but she felt… smaller. Insignificant.Liam barely acknowledged her tonight.The thought sent a fresh wave of unease coursing through her. Had he even noticed when she excused herself from the table? Did he care?Her fingers clenched into fists as a more troubling thought took root in her mind.‘Was he going to dump her for another woman?’She shook her head, trying to remove the thought from her mind. But was it really that ridiculous? The way he looked at Kim, the way they whispered conspiratorially over dinner—it was enough to make anyone suspicious.“No. I won’t let that happen,” she whispered, her voice firm even as doubt gnawed at her. She straightened her

Another picture of Mia and Shaw was on the news. Some people might have been getting tired of it, but Kim couldn’t get enough. The good part of her plan was just getting started, and she wasn’t going to let anybody jeopardize that. But she had another plan. As she was swirling her win in her glass, she smiled to herself. Her phone rang just beside her. As she saw the name on the caller ID, she smiled. It was just the person that she had been waiting for the whole time. She picked the phone up, and answered.“We’re here with them ma’am,” her guard’s voice came at the other end.“At the airport?” she asked, and the man grunted in response.“And the kid?”“We’re here with him too.” She couldn’t even stop herself from beaming. It was another part of her plan. If she couldn’t have Shaw, then nobody could. She didn’t mind how much she was spending to get all that information about him. Digging up the past and everything. She was sure that he didn’t tell Mia about that part of his life. An

Mia stared at herself in the mirror. She had noticed that her bump was slowly coming out. She ran her hand through it. “I really don’t know who it will look like,” Grace said, coming right behind her with a blue dress. She held the dress high, and Mia couldn’t help but gasp.“Where did you get such a dress?” she asked, and Grace smiled. “You’ve been doing a lot for me. Why can’t I repay you a bit? I bought it from my bonus, so you don’t have to bother about me spending too much.” Mia turned, and hugged Grace. She didn’t know what she would have done without her. “The dress might be pretty tight around the stomach area though. It’s a body con dress.” Grace rolled her eyes. “Shaw might just think you over ate. Besides, you’re doing all this for a good cause. There’s nothing you have to stress about.”Mia nodded, and took the dress from Grace. She headed to her room, to put the dress on. It fitted her perfectly, bringing out her curves that were now more visible because of her pregn
