Grayson stared down quietly at Maya’s sleeping form while sitting quietly on his side of the bed in the room that they are sharing. He stared at the clock across him and saw it turned to one in the morning. Lightly, he reached out and brushed some hair off her face and pulled the blanket over her chest and watched her snuggle comfortably on the bed.

He then stood up and went out of their room, heading towards the bar counter and poured himself a glass of scotch. He took it in one drink and poured himself another shot and walked towards the sofa, rubbing the back of his neck.

He managed to look towards the balcony, across from the wing of the penthouse they’re occupying and frowned when he saw the lights of the penthouse, he knew being occupied by that Jordan Cunningham still on and saw his physical form.

Has he been watching us here since we went up? He thought darkly.

To further anger the man, Grayson casually sauntered and pulled the curtains closed. He turned towards the sofa and h

    Maya splashed some cold water on her face the following day, washing off the facial foam she applied and then reaching for a towel to pat her skin dry after she took a bath. She looked at herself in the mirror as she tied her hair up, nodded and smiled at herself.After putting on her robe and tying the belt, she went out from the room and made her way to the suite’s dining area, passing through the foyer that has a center table with a nice, giant flower arrangement and she stopped for a while to admire it, taking a picture with her phone.She finally made her way to the dining area and found Grayson on the table, drinking his coffee while reading a document.“Good morning,” she greeted softly, standing behind him and placed her arms around him and gave him a soft and long kiss on the cheek before she took her seat beside him. She smiled at him warmly and thanked the staff assigned in the suite when her coffee was served. “What’s that you’re reading?”Grayson placed the document on on

    Jordan looked up from the report on the hotel’s operating facilities when Mason came inside his office in The Oceanview Hotel that he had acquired months ago, clearing his throat on a sunny Wednesday morning. “Ms. Griffiths has arrived, sir and already at the dining area checking the progress of the renovation works,” he informed formally. “The instructions you also gave is waiting outside on top of my desk.” Jordan immediately got up on his feet and smoothed down his front, straightening his tie and reaching for his jacket and putting it on immediately. He looked at his reflection on one window and tidied up his hair. “What do you think?” He asked his secretary, holding out his hands at his sides. “Think she’ll be less afraid of me now? I don’t look like the cold and callous executive that I’ve been hearing about, right?” Mason rolled his eyes at him, something that only he can do from those working with him. “I value my tenure under your employ, Mr. Jordan. As well as my life,” h

    Maya opened the door to her suite and gripped the knob a little bit tight when she saw two porters in front of her, greeting her warmly and carrying large flower arrangements in a white vase respectively. The first arrangement is a combination of roses and peonies and the second is an arrangement of white, blush and purple tulips.“Please place the roses and peonies on the living room and the tulips on the kitchen counter,” she said with a smile and stepped back from the door to let them in. She watched as they did what she requested. “Let me guess. You’re still not going to accept any tip from me.”“It’s taken care of, Ms. Griffiths,” they answered in unison.After they left and closing the door, Maya walked straight to the kitchen counter and reached for the envelop from the arrangement. She took out the card and read the message.“You want to know who I’m in love with?” The card started. “Just read the first word again. I’ll see you soon. Love, Grayson.”Maya smiled as she placed t

    Grayson got out of the car when it finally stopped in front of The Oceanview Hotel and straighten out his sports jacket. He looked towards the entry and waited for Thomas to stand beside him as he handed his luggage to a porter.“Are you really sure that you don’t want to come with us, Thomas?” Grayson asked as they went through the doors. “I already told you there’s a room for you and Maya would love to have you there.”“I’m going to be okay here, Mr. Grayson,” Thomas replied. He arched one eyebrow at his boss knowingly. “I’m sure you and Ms. Maya missed each other and I don’t want to intrude. Or more likely a witness to the testament of your deep love for her.”“I really should have forced you to transfer work with my mother,” Grayson snapped at him lightly. However, he grins after saying that statement when Thomas only walked ahead of him smugly towards the reception for check in. “Hey! I’ll go and check on Maya. Then let’s grab some lunch at one of the restaurant’s here.”“I’ll ta

    Maya turned on her side and opened her eyes, searching for the lighted digits of the digital clock on her bedside table. She groaned inwardly when she saw it read three in the early morning.

    Jordan slowed the engine and finally put his car to a stop right in front of his villa, three hours later and turned to his right where Maya is sitting quietly beside him. He stopped himself from pulling her into his arms to ease the fear on the ordeal that she had went through.After the paramedics checked on her and treating the injuries she sustained, Jordan accompanied her to the police station where she formally gave her statement and had charges filed against the man who entered her villa, hurt her and nearly raped her.During the time they were in the precinct, Jordan saw Maya answer a call and he assumed that it was probably Grayson. He watched from where he was sitting and saw her speaking quietly on the phone for a while before becoming frantic. She was walking back and forth, probably talking some sense into Grayson before the call finally ended.“Looks like you’ve got company,” Jordan commented, breaking the silence inside the car.Maya turned towards the direction of her

    Maya poured freshly squeezed orange juice in a tall glass before handing it to Cassandra Cunningham Johnson, Jordan’s niece. The younger woman smiled at her thankfully and took a drink and placing it back down the counter. “This is really delicious, Ms. Maya,” Cassandra commented after swallowing another bite of the Dutch pancakes. “Our chef back home is good but now that I’ve tasted your cooking, I prefer this one. Will you consider adopting me?” She smiled at the teenager as she took a seat on the stool. “I don’t think your parents will like it,” Maya remarked. Cassandra remained silent for a while. “I’m pretty sure they won’t mind,” she finally answered. “Most especially my mother. She’s six feet under and my dad… well, I’m sure he’s out there somewhere, doing whatever crosses his mind.” Maya looked at her in surprised. “Are you telling me that you’re on your own?” “Technically. But, Uncle Jord took me under his care when mom died while my father took off, clear that he doesn

    Ten Years Later… Jordan took a sip from his coffee and frowned through his sunglasses when he saw who seemed to be a paparazzi took a quick photo of him on a bright Wednesday morning at one of the quaint cafés in E Country. His eyes followed the man for a while before he finally reached for his phone on the table when it notified of a message. He read the message that Mason had sent him before opening the attached file of a certain contract for his hotel. “Jordan!” A warm voice called out. He looked up and a smile appeared on his face when he saw Maya walking towards him with a smile. He stood up from his chair when she is near and bent down, giving her a soft kiss on her cheek when she finally arrived. “Have you waited long?” She asked after he pulled a chair for her and sat down. “Not too long and caught a paparazzi take some shots,” he answered with humor. Maya gave him an apologetic look before looking up at the waiter and took the menu handed to her. She scanned for a few

    Grayson, with his arms crossed over his chest, watched the doorway of the delivery room on the VIP Floor Level, where Maya has been wheeled in over an hour ago. He uncrossed his arms and massaged the back of his neck to get rid of the strain that he is currently feeling.It was a late Tuesday evening when he received a call from his butler that Maya is on her way to the hospital, informing him that her water broke and started having contractions. Finishing his meeting with his tenants, he immediately went to the hospital.“Hey, I’m here. Didn’t I tell you not to walk too much?” Grayson said softly as well as chiding her, when he entered her room, where she is breathing in and out deeply while she went through another contraction. He took her hand from Yasmine and let her squeeze his tightly while his other hand rubbed her back. He kissed her head lovingly and smiled down at her. “Looks like we’re finally meeting our son in a few hours.”Maya, with tears in her eyes, looked up at him a

    Three Weeks Later… Maya stood quietly at Jordan’s garage and watched as his bodyguards carefully loaded several luggage at the back of one SUV. She clasped her hands in front of her and waited for him to come out from his house. After a while, Jordan appeared at the front door, carrying Spencer in his arms, who has his one hand over his eyes, sobbing lightly. Jordan, on the other hand is assuring him gently, telling him to stop crying and assuring Spencer that he’s going to call him every day. When their eyes met, Jordan removed Spencer’s hand from his eyes and kissed him tenderly and whispered something to him. Maya watched as their son hugged his father’s neck tightly and kissing him on the cheek again and again. “Now, promise dad that you will take good care of Mommy,” Jordan said after a while. Spencer nodded, crossing his hand over his heart, making a promise. Jordan smiled satisfactorily and after one last hug and kiss, he gently handed Spencer to Lila. “Let Lila take you b

    Jordan stared through the window from the small gap of the sheer curtain in his office the following day and watched as a car pulled up on the driveway at the opposite villa. Several cars then followed, parking by the side of the road.Grayson came out and immediately went to Maya’s side, opening the door for her. He helped Spencer out first and hoisted him up on his left side while holding out his right hand to Maya. She stepped out gently, wearing a white floral, lace dress that ended just below her knees.He bent down and kissed her for a while before pulling her into his arms.“He managed to secure a special license just right before office hours were done yesterday,” Xavier said over the phone a few hours ago. “Nathan, Callum, Thomas and Skylar, a good friend of hers were the witnesses. Spencer was made ring bearer.”Jordan just then ended the call without saying anything.He continued to watch as Grayson and Maya walked towards the main door, holding hands and smiling happily. J

    Grayson stared through the window at the back of the Bentley he is riding on that night, watching the rain lightly drenching the city. He watched as pedestrians hurriedly walk or run for cover while those with umbrellas immediately opened them up.He could see couples wrapping their arms around each other as they shared an umbrella while others are hovering underneath one coat as they crossed the street.Melanie Peters, his brother’s secretary, whom Benedict temporarily lent to him was dictating his schedule for tomorrow.“Tomorrow you’ll be meeting Mr. Frederick Oldman,” she stated. “He’s the caretaker of Barmpton Keep. He’ll be updating you the accounts and operations of the building. He also informed me that he will be presenting proposals as well for a higher income target next year.”“My lord?”Grayson looked towards the front and saw Melanie looking at him expectantly.“Cancel it,” he said firmly finally making up his mind. “Take me to the airport now. I’m going back to Maya.”“

    Maya went out from the car the following day and looked up at the house that Grayson had bought for them at Montleigh Villas. She looked down when Spencer took hold of her hand and smiled at him.“Are we staying here?” Spencer asked as he turned around to where Jordan is, who just got of his own car and cross the street towards them. “Will daddy be staying with us?”“Daddy will be just across the street,” Jordan answered for her with a smile.“Why?!” Spencer asked again.Maya has no words for her son.“Well, because your Auntie Meg, Cass, Grandpa and Pops are staying with me there for the meantime,” Jordan explained calmly as he lifted him off his feet. “But, guess what?”Spencer looked at his father expectantly.“Pogo will be staying with you!” Jordan then said and Spencer squealed with happiness.“Welcome back, Maya,” Yasmine greeted with a smile. “I have brunch ready for you.”Maya smiled at her in reply and turned back to Jordan. “Will you join us for brunch?” She asked him. “I co

    Maya leaned back on the pillows placed behind her after she took some medication from the nurse on a Monday morning, where she was finally moved to a regular room in the VIP Floor, two days after she woke up. She looked down and made sure that Spencer is sleeping comfortably beside her. Her son had never left her side since she woke up and her heart ached at the thought of the difficulty he went through for the past weeks.She listened as Thomas recounted everything from the day, they went to confront Mary up to the day she had finally awaken. She shuddered when she knew the amount of drugs that Maverick had injected into her and the fatal shot that was meant for her where Jordan had saved her by putting himself in front of her.“Callum’s taking care of the properties from your parents,” Thomas continued softly. “Hopefully, you will be discharged tomorrow or the day after. I called Mr. St. Claire but he’s still in a meeting with some investors.”Maya only nodded and her eyes traveled

    Maya reached out her hands and gently touched the petals from the field of tulips that she is walking through. She smiled as the flower bent towards her as if bowing at her presence. She looked around the fields and gasped at the awe of beauty surrounding her.She looked towards the bright and blue sky as she walked further down the fields.“It’s so beautiful here,” she murmured as she held onto her hat when the wind blew.She continued walking through the grounds, admiring the field. When she saw a path to her right, she turned and this time she found herself surrounded by fields of roses and peonies. Her smile widened at the beautiful sight.“Mommy!” A voice rang out behind her.Maya turned and saw Spencer, running towards her with a big smile on his face and his arms opened wide. She got down to her knees and opened her arms, waiting for him to come close.“Hi, mommy!” Spencer greeted with a big smile on his face as she enveloped him in a loving and warm embrace.
