Shaw Carter was rendered speechless by her words. He usually does not frequent a bar and avoids places like this. But his car developed a little fault on his way back from a business trip. His driver, Drake, told him to go inside the bar and relax while he got the car fixed since the bar was the closest to where the car suddenly stopped.
He barely sat down when he saw a beautiful lady in black walk in and order a bottle of Whiskey. He felt attracted to her; she looked like someone who needed to be loved and pampered. Shaw noticed she was crying so he let her be. She needed to sort out whatever it was that was bothering her so she could feel better.
After watching her get herself drunk, he got a call from Drake that the car was fixed and ready. But he couldn't just leave her alone here. He had noticed the men around ogling her with lustful eyes; he couldn't blame them. She is damn sexy in that black dress she is wearing.
Like a perfect gentleman, he approaches her to offer to drive her home.
“Hey darling, you’ve had too much to drink for having a bad day.” He spoke, as he sat beside her; she turned her head to look at him. That is the worst torture of his self-control. Being close to her is driving him insane with needs, especially when she looks at him with her soulful eyes.
“Hmm, you're so damn handsome. She said in her sexy voice, ogling him. He became so hot and felt his body responding to her. She was practically undressing him with her eyes.
“Can I take you home when you are done staring at me?” This is not a place to leave a drunk beautiful lady like you, trust me. He told her, grateful that his voice did not betray his desire for her.
She looked around at the men ogling her body with lust on their faces and chuckled at him.“I will go with you, but only if you promise to fuck me till I forget my sorrow.”
Shaw’s member almost came out of his pants. He was aroused and almost made love to her at the bar. He has never lost control over a woman before. He dated far more beautiful and sexy women than her and has never had this reaction, even when they were naked.
He led her to where his car was parked, as Drake approached them, opening the backseat door of a black Benz for them. He helped her in and followed after her.
"To the suite, Drake," he ordered,and before he could say anything else, he felt her lips on him.
*****
Mia got up in the morning; she was surprised when she found herself in a strange room; she heaved a deep sigh when she noticed she was not in her bed or Liam's bed. The bed she was lying on was the most comfortable bed she had ever slept in.
She tried recalling what happened last night amidst the slight headache she is feeling, but all she could remember was Liam's humiliation and breaking up with her, then her crying and entering a bar. She remembered ordering a drink and planning on drinking herself to forgetfulness. Then it hit her, someone had approached her, and she had offered for him to fuck her till she forget her sorrow, and then she kissed him in the car.
"Oh God," she gasped, clutching onto the duvet so tightly that her knuckles turned white, "what has she done?”She sat up immediately and looked around the room; she muttered to herself and forced herself to sit up, and when she did, that was when she saw the sleeping man.
She froze when she saw his face; he looked more handsome than she thought he looked last night, his hair was disheveled, and she recalled running her fingers through his hair. There was a bite mark on his smooth neck, and she remembered doing that; she had bitten him, but he didn't complain. She grabbed the duvet tightly as details of the previous night flashed in her mind.
She remembered how he had carried her out of the car into the elevator, and how she had kept kissing him in the elevator until they got to the floor where his room was located, she didn't stop there, but continued kissing his face, ears and everywhere her lips touched until he picked her up, carrying her into his room.
He removed her heels and tossed them somewhere on the floor. She had giggled at his actions and started removing his tie and shirt while he unbuckled his belt and removed his trousers. The sight of his erection made her gasp in shock, it was bigger than what she expected, and she wondered how it could fit into her pussy.
He removed her gown and flung it somewhere in the room before sucking her breast with his mouth while his arms trailed downward to her vagina. She opens her legs wide to welcome his touch. Craving for him and his touch as she moaned so loudly at the sensation of his lips on her breast.
She was so wet for him and wanted him to fuck her so badly. As if he sensed her thoughts, he started fingering her clitoris, making her moan louder. He kissed her so deeply on her lips before delving his fingers into her vagina. She blushes like a virgin when she remembers the way he took his time with her, handling her with gentleness and care as if she was something breakable; she had not been treated like that in a long time, not even by Liam, who was her first and only lover.
Mia quietly climbed out of the bed and looked for her clothes. She dressed up quickly without making a sound so as not to wake him up.
As she opened the door to leave, she stared back at the man sleeping peacefully, memorizing his handsome face. She knew she would never see him again. Thank Goodness, they did know each other's name. She would cherish the memories of the best night of lovemaking she had ever experienced. What a shame that it happened with a one-night stand.
Mia kept herself busy job hunting since her breakup with Liam. She needed to raise money for herself as she had squandered her life savings to buy a car gift for him.“Hey dear, how is it going over there?” Have you received any job offers yet? Grace asked her as she came into the room eating some cheese. “No yet Grace, No job offer email yet.” Mia sighed in frustration. It's been more than a month since she has been on it. She has sent her resume to several leading companies in the city. She needed to raise the fifty thousand dollars quickly. You know you still haven't told me the full details about your breakup. I know you were hurting badly, and I didn't want to ask you this. But I am curious, Grace sat down on Mia's bed, eating her cheese while looking at Mia typing on her laptop.“Don't you have any work for today, Grace?”I know what you are about to ask me. It's written all over your face. You want to know where I spent the night after the breakup with Liam.You know me too we
The whole atmosphere suddenly became tense. Grace was fuming with anger and was about to respond when the waiter interrupted the conversation by bringing their food.Your food is here, Ma. The waiter informed them and dropped the food on their table.Mia ordered some chicken pasta with salad while Grace ordered rice and Chinese sauce with chicken. As you see Liam. It's time for us to eat and not to chit-chat. Please excuse us. Mia said to reduce the tension and stop Grace from doing something crazy to Liam.They are right darling. Let's leave here. I don't like the smell that is coming from their table. The lady said and dragged Liam to their table.Mia looked at Grace's angry face, using her eyes to plead with her not to react to Liam and his girlfriend. After calming Grace,she breathed out in relief.She was very hungry, but when she looked at the food, she felt like throwing up. Thinking it's because she hasn't eaten any meal for the day. She took a bite and almost vomited the foo
Mia’s eyelids opened up, and she found herself staring up at the bright lights of the tenth-floor lobby ceiling. Blinking in confusion, she tried to piece together what had happened. She remembered the magazine, the photo of Shaw, and then… him, holding her, his arms steadying her as she lost consciousness.Groaning inwardly, she sat up slowly with the help of a security guard, who had brought her a glass of water. A few concerned glances came her way, but she brushed them off, trying to regain her composure. She needed to get out of there, away from Shaw, before he started asking questions.But the man himself was kneeling down beside her, a look of genuine concern on his face. “Are you all right?” he asked, his tone softer than she expected. His gaze held hers,There was something in his eyes that made her feel… safe, and that realization both comforted and unsettled her.“I’m fine, really,” she said, forcing a small smile. “Just a little lightheaded. It must be the stress of starting
Mia shifted uncomfortably in her place, the warmth in Shaw’s office only worsening her light-headedness. Shaw was speaking to his gathered staff about a new project he was launching, his commanding voice steady and confident. Mia had always admired his calm leadership style, but today, her mind was a blur. She’d skipped breakfast, having barely managed to wake up in time to make it to the meeting, and now the consequences were hitting her hard.Luke, Shaw’s second-in-command, was seated next to her, while Mia and the other assistants stood around the office, their notebooks open to jot down key points. But every time she tried to write, her vision blurred. She could feel a trickle of sweat forming on her brow, and her stomach twisted in hunger and nausea.Shaw’s eyes swept across the room, then lingered a little longer when they reached her. He noticed her pale complexion and the way she seemed almost out of balance. His gaze was hard to read, but there was a hint of concern beneath h
Shaw leaned back in his office chair,his fingertips pressed together as he contemplated the news. Mia was pregnant, and he knew it. His doctor had been discrete, following Shaw’s instructions to keep Mia’s condition confidential. As he watched Mia working tirelessly every day, Shaw felt a mixture of intrigue and protectiveness grow within him. Though he was certain Mia hadn’t intended for him to know, the knowledge settled deeply within him, raising questions he wasn’t ready to ask. He didn’t want to intrude, but part of him felt a strange pull—an instinct to look out for her.This internal conflict nagged at him throughout the morning, yet Shaw decided to keep quiet. He’d let Mia share the news when she was ready, all while quietly ensuring she had everything she needed at work. But his train of thought was abruptly interrupted by a sudden knock on his office door.In the apartment, Grace was carefully applying her makeup when an unexpected knock sounded at the front door. She frowne
Liam opened the door to his condo, expecting the usual quiet that greeted him. Instead, he found Maya sitting on the couch, arms folded, her gaze sharp and unyielding. The tension in her posture told him she had been waiting for him—and not happily.“Where are you coming from?” Maya asked, her tone clipped. Her eyes held a hint of hurt and suspicion.Liam closed the door behind him, letting out a deep sigh. He hadn’t told her about his plan yet, and he knew it was bound to cause friction. He took a step closer, hands raised in a gesture of calm.“I went to see Mia,” he admitted.Maya’s eyes narrowed, and he could almost see the anger simmering under the surface. “You went to see your ex? Without telling me?” she demanded, her voice rising. “What were you thinking?”“Hold on,” he interrupted, trying to keep his tone steady. “Let me explain.”“Explain what?” Maya shot back. “How you’re sneaking around to see your ex? You didn’t think I deserved to know?”Liam took a breath. “Look, Maya,
Mia POVThe night had finally arrived. Standing in front of the mirror in my room, I couldn’t help but take a moment to admire the way the dress fit me. The deep blue fabric hugged my figure, cascading down in soft waves. Grace, as always, was right behind me, teasingly inspecting my reflection over her shoulder.“Honestly, Mia, I think this dress was made for you,” she grinned, fluffing my curls and pretending to adjust the hem of my dress.“Oh, please,” I laughed, nudging her out of the way. I smoothed down the fabric, feeling a rush of excitement mixed with nerves. I took one last glance, adjusted the strap of my dress, and headed downstairs where Shaw was waiting, looking impossibly sharp in a perfectly tailored suit.His gaze softened when he saw me. “You look stunning,” he said, his voice warm.I smiled, feeling my cheeks heat under his intense gaze. “Thank you, Mr. Carter,” I replied softly, feeling the power of the moment between us.We made our way to his car, and before I kn
The party had been a dazzling success, filled with laughter, elegant conversations, and the steady hum of smooth jazz filtering through the grand ballroom. As the night wound down, guests slowly walked out, still carrying an air of excitement and joy.Liam approached Mia just as she finished a conversation with a guest. His confident smile caught her attention, and she felt a familiar knot twist in her stomach. He was charming, but the memory of their past kept her guarded. Still, he had a way of breaking down those barriers with ease.“Talk about relief am I right...,” he said softly, tilting his head toward the exit. Mia just gave him a smile“it’s a little sad we didn’t get to talk much here.” Said Liam“Really?..”“Yeah but I have a solution for that, how about we continue the conversation at an eatery?”“Are you asking me out?” She asked with sarcasm on her face.“Yes, I’d like to take you out tomorrow. A real date. Let’s see if we can start afresh.” His tone was smooth, and his
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 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
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
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
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
“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
Shaw was putting on tracksuit bottoms. He didn’t have a shirt on. Hell, he just finished having his bath and his hair was wet and sleek. He was shocked when he heard the doorbell go off. He quickly went to check who it was. He silently hoped that it wasn’t anybody that was going to ruin his mood. He was slightly annoyed when he figured out that he was slightly late to call the security men to ask who was at the door. He was already almost there. He swung the door open, ready to see anything. He was shocked when he saw a smirking Ahmed in front of him. In his hand, he held a glass of whiskey. Shaw wanted to punch him there on the spot until his nose bled. Instead, he managed a small smile. “What are you doing here, Ahmed?” he asked, closing the door slightly to show Ahmed that he wasn’t even invited.“Nothing,” Ahmed, said shrugging. “Quite a show you put up at the last meeting we attended. I just wanted to compliment you for it.”Shaw cocked an eyebrow. “Come on, tell me where the m
Liam was minutes away from smashing the television. There was no single channel that Maya liked watching, that Mia and Shaw’s face wasn’t there. He hated the way the media was paying attention to everything that they did on that night. “It’s not like they did anything that special,” he said to himself in frustration. If only he knew what was coming next on the news.“They actually look cute together,” Maya said, chewing her popcorn. It was like she was even looking for any channel that talked about them, and then, she stayed there until the gossip was over. It wasn’t like she was trying to rub salt in Liam’s wounds, she simply adored the dress that Mia wore both times that evening. She couldn’t lie that she also envied Mia’s shape. She planned to order for it once Liam paid her the money that he promised to give her.“Did you hear how much Shaw Carter paid for Mia during the auction?” she asked, looking at Liam with wide eyes. Liam rolled his own eyes in response.“Five million dolla
“The baby is doing just fine,” the doctor assured Mia, smiling that she was worrying unnecessarily. She couldn’t take any risks. It felt like the baby was the only thing that she lived for. A text appeared on her phone. She checked and saw that it was Liam. She was about to ignore when she saw what was actually written on it. “Just a little warning that you should reconsider the marriage. Or else, this might be the last time that you will be heading to the hospital to check up on your baby.”She looked around immediately, worried that he was somewhere around, looking at her. The doctor frowned, sensing her worry.“You shouldn’t worry much,” she said. “Both you and the baby don’t need any stress at this point.” Mia tried to calm down immediately. She nodded, standing out and taking her prescriptions for the medication that she needed. Her eyes were still on her phone as she headed out of the hospital. She was completely distracted until she bumped into a hard body. “I’m sorry,” she
