MAE I never knew Owen could be such a sweetheart. He could be arrogant and proud, that was on his blood. Asides that, he was very charming and sweet just this two days I've been with him. Tonight, he would be taking me to dinner. He got me a dress, as he said he would. I remembered when he came to see me after he had said at the dining room. He apologized again. "Can I make it up to you?" He asked, right after saying he was sorry. "Owen, I..." I tried to object. I like the fact I was making him apologize. "Let's see some movies tonight. What do you think? I can have Ava make popcorn for us." A smile spread across my face. "Is that a smile I see? So, it's a yes?" "Alright." When he said he wanted us to see movies, I was expecting him to take us to a cinema...in his fucking house. It was way bigger than the few ones I have been to. I should be surprised. Owen was the mob boss after all. We sat in the middle row, not to close to the screen. I was in his arms through out. He ma
OWEN"I hope you all are ready. It's tonight, remember." I said to Scar over the phone. I was supposed to have a physical meeting with her and Marco, but I changed my mind. I will meet them tomorrow. Tonight was just for Mae and I."Yes, Owen. Every thing we need is ready. The guns, knives, axes, any weapon you can mention. We all have them." Scar said, trying to sound funny."You said Joan would be moving alone this night." I knew she said that to me."Yes.""Then, why all the weapons?""He won't be entirely alone. I'm certain his goons would be the road to protect him, till he gets to his final destination." Scar explained. "It's better we go there well prepared, so we won't be caught by surprise.""That's true, Scar. So whatever you have to do, I want him under my control this night.""Where do we keep him?" I could hear Scar breathing in. She was probably smoking as usual."Basement at my club house. You can restrict him with ropes, tapes, and why have you. But not his eyes. I wan
MAEREADER'S DISCRETION: 18+ CONTENT AHEAD!I would not say if I was disappointed or relieved that it wasn't a ring. Infact I was relieved. I wasn't ready to get married yet. The silver necklace was very beautiful. I felt extra special when he said it was from his grandmother.Maybe I meant something to him. I wasn't just a belonging or a compensation.Owen was different tonight. He wasn't his cold and ruthless self. He was always touching my fingers, tucking my hair behind my ears, cleaning my lips and refilling my empty glass. He was very romantic.Same thought I had at his club came to my mind again. Only if I had some super powers.The date came to an end sadly, because I wished we would be like that forever.This was the best night of my life, no doubt. No man has ever made me feel this way. When we got home, I took it on myself that I won't sleep alone tonight. I would be more comfortable in Owen's bed, if you know what I mean.Owen carried me in his arms, his lips never leaving
OWENI usually wake up early every morning but this morning was different. Everywhere was bright.I looked down at Mae, whose arms were around me. Thoughts of last night filled my senses. I don't think I would ever forget that feeling. This woman caught me not only by the balls, but my heart as well.I lifted my hand to tuck her hair behind her ear.I wanted to see her face clearly. I could feel my heart swelling with emotion as I gazed at her.She looked so cute, so peaceful, so kissable. Maybe I should wake her with another bout of hot love making. I was sure she would be happy about it.All of sudden it hit me when the sun rays hit through my window.Joan.I shifted a bit to pick my phone from my nightstand. I was more than eager to receive the good news."Owen." Mae murmured as she snuggled closer. "Don't go." She thought I was leaving."I'm not going anywhere, baby. I'm here."I made sure she was back to sleep before I switched on my phone. In seconds, my phone was back to life.
MAEMy sixth orgasm.And I fell on Owen's chest again, breathless.We were having sex after an explosive argument relating to Joan.A tiny bit of me knew that Owen brought me to his house for another reason besides wanting to spend time with me. How come I didn't think towards that direction. I won't lie, I felt hurt hearing his conversation with Scar.If not we were naked and we had sex last night, I would have not forgiven him easily. The sexual drive and tension was still fresh between us. He used that to his advantage."What will do concerning Joan?" I wanted to know."Look for whoever took him before me, and deal with both of them." He said firmly. "His men won't suspect us, because I'm dead. You killed me, remember, and it's all over the papers.""And how do you intend on achieving that?""It's nothing you should be worried about." He kissed my forehead. "I won't rest till I get hold of Joan. I can't wait to see the shock in his eyes when i show myself to him.""Will you kill hi
OWENI had an uncomfortable feeling after the call I had with Scar. Even though I tried getting my mind off it with Mae's help, but it was still there and I didn't like it. This week was meant for Mae and I, no distractions. Joan not being under my control was a big distraction.After having breakfast with Mae, I drove down to the club. I haven't been there in three days. All thanks to Mae."Good day boss." Marco greeted."Owen." Scar nodded.Eric pulled the chair out for me to sit.A young woman came in with bottle of champagne and four glasses on a tray. She placed it on the table."Hey, get me a two packs of cigarettes. This is the last stick of the one I'm currently with." Scar said to the waitress."Scar, when last did you go to the medics for your checkup?" I asked. The rate at which she consumed weed was quite alarming. I don't want to lose her anytime soon."I... I... should be last week." She stuttered, her cheeks red.Scar never stutters. This was new. It only meant one thin
OWENStaying with Mae made me totally forget that our agreement of her staying for a week. I was getting used to her presence.I woke up, trying to reach out for her, and grab her. Maybe even have morning sex too but it was empty. She wasn't there."Mae." I called thinking she was in the bathroom.No response."Where has she gone to?" I mumbled, stretching my body as I stood up from the bed. I slipped into my shorts leaving my chest bare.I checked both of my bathrooms to clear my doubts that she wasn't in any of them. I grabbed my phone before leaving.She wasn't in her room when I got there. Her room was pretty arranged, just as it was before she came. My eyes caught the flowers I got for her. They were both in different vases."Mae." I called again. Still no response.Fear crept up my shoulders. 'Why are getting so worked up, Owen? You have a tight security, and no one knows this is your house. There's no possibility of anyone coming in here to abduct Mae.'Just as I was about leav
MAEI would be going back to my apartment today. This was the first sentence that hit me as I woke up in Owen's arms. I stared at him for a very long time that a tear tricked down my left cheek.We may never be like this again. Owen would probably get married, even though it isn't Amelia, probably to a daughter of a don. Mafia world was built that way.And I would end up with another man. I felt my heart break.I should feel happy, not sad. I needed a man that's not entwined with illegal dealings, a man with a legal source of living, a man that I can make babies with, without getting scared for their safety. A man that's not Owen.'Put yourself together, Mae and move on with your life. It was fun while it lasted with Owen.' I may still be working for him at his club, but now it should strictly be a boss-employee relationship, and nothing else. I would make sure of that.From now onwards, I should kill off any romantic feelings I have for Owen Powers, for my own good.I left his side q
MAE"Thank you very much, you have fed me properly today." I took a large gulp of yoghurt. My stomach was really full."That's one of my responsibilities to you." He wiped the corner of my mouth with tissue."What's today?" Suddenly I remembered about my medical checkup."Today is Friday. The end of the month.""Damn! I have my antenatal checkup today.""Really? There's still time. Tell me the schedule the doctor told you." He brought out his diary, waiting for my response."Every four weeks for the next seven months, and every two weeks till the ninth month.""Fine. I will have to be reminding you from henceforth." He closed his diary after taking note of it.Owen took me to the hospital, the exact one where I was told I was pregnant.It was same doctor that told me I was pregnant. She recognized my face."Hey Rivera. Hello." She greeted Owen and I."Hello Doctor.""Please, take your seats." She gestured with her hands. "How are you both doing?""We're doing very fine. We're just a
MAE"O... Owen, you're here?" I stuttered. Why was he here? Is today not supposed to be his wedding? He wasn't supposed to find out this way. The look on his face made me swallow hard. He was mad angry."You're not answering my question, Mae. Are you pregnant?" His face has no expression.Scar quietly excused herself, leaving me to deal with my problems alone. So much for female solidarity."Yes Owen. I am." There was no need lying now. He must have heard everything by the door. Lying would escalate to more problems that I wasn't ready for.I could see a flicker of happiness in his eyes for a moment before the annoyance took over. "How long are you gone?" His eyes went to my stomach. I had no bump yet."A month. I found out about it early last week." I said quietly, my eyes avoiding his."For that long, and I'm just knowing of it now! Mae, what other things are you hiding from me?" He folded his arms. " I have finally figured out the reason you have been avoiding me. You think I won't
OWENAfter I agreed to let Mae go to Joan's house as an insider again, I instructed Marco to find someone that will have an eye on her, some sort of a bodyguard. Since it was only two times a week, I would only be worried for those two days only, unlike before where worry was my best friend.We made love again bringing those sweet feelings to my heart. After I had dropped her off at Casa Eleganza. I went back to my club. I wasn't done going through those footages. The pictures I have so far were mostly those working as servers in the club.Eric would have a lot of work to do.I went through the last parts of the footages, new faces were that of the security men, Marco and a woman.I zoomed the video of Marco and the woman. It was same woman I had seen him with when I had my first meeting as regards to Joan's disappearance. He was holding hands with her and saying things that are barely inaudible.It felt strange though. Marco had never shown interest in woman. I wonder what this woman
MAECongratulations, Ms Rivera. You're three weeks pregnant."The doctor's words kept ringing in my ears on my way to my apartment. I couldn't describe what I was feeling.While in her office some time ago, I even had to tell her to check the name well."Mae Rivera." The doctor read from the piece of paper in her hands. "Is that not your name?""It... It is." I stammered."Why are you... Wait, you are not ready yet?" She read my face."Yeah, kind of." I said."That's okay, Mae." She smiled again. "Since you're not ready and we discovered it early enough, you can take it out."I'm keeping it, Doctor." I said firmly. The last thing on my mind at this time was getting pregnant, but since it has happened, I can't kill my baby. I have to beat the consequences of my actions."Your husband would be happy.""I'm not married." Do I looked married? I'm not even wearing a ring."Ohh, I'm sorry for the assumption." She apologized. "I hope its father would be happy.""He would. He was even the on
MAEIt was morning already and I was in Owen's arms. Making love out in the open was such an adventure. But we have to leave."Owen." I tapped him lightly. I remembered Eli. He would have been waiting for me to come back."Go back to sleep, Mae." He pulled me closer."It's nine thirty." I complained."I know." His eyes were still closed.He knew. He must have woken up before me.I succeeded in removing his hands."Mae, come back." He tried reaching out for me."Owen, wake up. We can't stay here all day." I put on my denim gown back."Staying with you makes me want to do nothing." He was fully awake now."That's sad, but I want to do something.""Ouch." He stood up from the bed.He had actually woken up, because he had his boxers on. He put on his shirt and trousers."I will be going over to Joan's today." I stated. I didn't want to waste time at all. My last meeting is with Joan was when he told me I had a bigger job to do for him."Really? Wait awhile. We just agreed yesterday.""I d
MAE I can't believe I just forgave Owen after all the promises I made to myself never to. When Eli has told me he saw Owen, I thought he was joking. But he did show up at my door, went as far as bringing me out of my hiding spot by threatening to kill Eli. This man brought weakeness to my knees by saying that the words he went to me last week. I was now convinced that he was the one who wrote them. He had a way of softening me up. I even agreed to go out to dinner with him. When he left, Eli came out of the bathroom. "I'm sorry." I could not control my laughter. "It's not funny, Mae. I nearly peed on myself." "I'm so sorry." I said again, going to him to rub his back. "So, you guys are back together?" Eli asked me. "Yeah, somehow." I shrugged. "I heard liplocking sounds and you agreed to go on a date with him. That's not a somehow. You like him, don't you?" "I don't know, Eli. My head and heart are not friends at all. I decided I would never talk to him again, and now he sa
OWEN"Where does she live?" I asked. It was two minutes past six am in the morning of the next day.Last night I was supposed to sleep like a baby because my woman has forgiven me, Scar turned it upside down by telling me news about Eve's death. I was happy, no doubt but a part of me was on high alert. I had some thoughts. It's possible that Joan's kidnapper could also be Eve's killer. And whoever did this wants to keep me to my toes.I decided that I would meet with Scar, Eric and Marco tomorrow morning, very early."Not that far from Joan's. Sometimes she sleeps at her house, sometimes Joan's." Scar replied. We were sitting on a round table.I had want to set this meeting only with Scar because I put her in charge of Eve, but then I did some thinking, it's best if Eric and Marco were aware of this as well. This was a clear sign that someone has their eyes on us."Did you ever speak to her?""Yeah, I did, just two times. The first time I met her at a pharmacy store, we didn't really
OWENI was so prepared for this moment. I had two things on my mind. It was either Mae was lying or she was back from her grandparents' and her roommate has refused to tell me when she returned.At this point, nothing else mattered. I only wanted to see Mae. That was the main problem I was facing now.I walked stealthily to her room, having a rethink of what I would say to her. I got to her door front and knocked.No response as usual.I knocked again.Eli answered.I wasn't supposed to see Eli. Mae should have been the one here. It meant one thing that he must have seen me coming here and decided to alert her."I'm here to see Mae." I stated."Mae is not around. You were here this morning." He said. "She's in the hospital with her grandfather."I gave a weak laughter. It had been a lie all along."She is. Let me in." I said simply."She isn't."I looked him dead in the eye before I shoved him and forced myself inside. In a split second, I had my elbow over his neck. He chose the hard
MAE"About Joan, what is the latest on him?" The last time Owen and I spoke about Joan. He did not tell me the details of his plans."Owen wants to go for Javier and Don Paulo. And Eve too." Scar said."Eve? I haven't heard that name around here?""She is an insider. She was the one who told me about Joan's schedule on the day we were meant to capture him. Owen suspects her.... Wait, why am I even telling you this? You are no longer with Owen. You have no business knowing about his affairs.""I'm already involved in this. There's no way I would be left out.""I'm sorry, Rivera. I can't say past that." Scar stood up from her seat.I feel that she was keeping her loyalty to Owen. She was right. I'm no longer with Owen and Owen is no longer my boss. So, I'm invariably an opposition or enemy.I went back to my apartment. Atleast, she told me a vital part of what I wanted to hear. I needed to eat pizza so I made an order for two boxes."Did you go to see Owen?" Eli questioned."No, why wil
