The Heart Remembers: Caught Between Billionaires CHAPTER 17
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. She rolled on her back and waited for sleep to take over her again.She missed Grayson beside her.It has been over three days since Grayson went back to CF State after taking a two-week vacation to spend time with her in the villa, which he had purchased years before. Just three days and she’s already missing him.She decided to blame him for her predicament because for the two weeks that they had been together, Grayson made love to her almost every day and night. She then recalled that Grayson will be waking her up at this time and will make love to her again and go back to sleep after, waking up later in the morning for another session before they will go down to have brunch.Maya was about to reach for her phone to call him but held herself back as she remembered that Grayson will be attending

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

The entire dining area of the soon to open Aurora restaurant is in construction chaos as all of the works had started to mobilize together in full swing at The Oceanview Hotel. Safety signages and walkways had been provided and the project supervisor and safety superintendent made sure that all construction rules are implemented and followed.Sparks from ongoing welding works as well as from grinding works blended simultaneously with the sound of the drills, hammering and sawing.All of workers are in complete uniform as strictly implemented by the hotel’s security. The workers are all wearing their construction uniforms, their tops in different colors as per their engineering trade, reflectorized vests, safety hard hats, steel bots, safety googles and mask. The only way to identify the personnel is by the ID that all must wear pinned to one of the stripes of their safety vests.At one corner of the area, Lester Bradford, the Project Manager overseeing the construction is currently co

Grayson, with a set look on his face watched quietly as Maya stood still when the additional bodyguards’ he had called for introduced themselves to them the following day in the villa. Turning towards the housekeeper he also had hired, nodded at her to serve them some breakfast. “The additional bodyguards are overrated, Grayson,” Maya complained to him lightly when the two of them were finally alone in the living room. “Why not just lock me up instead?” “If I have my way, Maya, I would have already done it,” he countered calmly, knowing deep down that she is holding her anger. He turned and walked towards the dining area, sitting on one chair. He picked up the morning paper and made himself busy by reading the headlines while he hears her preparing at the kitchen. “But I know you won’t like it. So, the bodyguards will do.” Maya distracted him by waving his cup of coffee in front of his sight before placing it down in front of him. She then stomped back to the counter. Grayson just

Jordan, clutching the file that Mason had handed to him the night before stalked towards the outdoor dining area where he was informed on Grayson St. Claire’s whereabouts on a bright Tuesday morning.His eyes narrowed coldly when he finally spotted the Englishman occupying one of the secluded, outdoor dining tables with his laptop opened in front of him along with some files. He is currently drinking his coffee with a half-eaten sandwich, while browsing through whatever is displayed on his screen.Holding on to his anger, Jordan sauntered towards him and before he could stop himself, he slammed the file on the table in front of Grayson.Grayson looked up from his screen, his eyes turning cold when he saw who the person was that interrupted his work. He stared down at the folder as he put his cup down and closed his laptop.“What the f8ck do you want, Cunningham?!” He scoffed coldly.Jordan clenched his fists angrily.“Why don’t you tell me, St. Claire,” Jordan answered back evenly as

Grayson looked up from his laptop screen on a Thursday afternoon, inside the office in the villa towards the full-height window and watched as Maya threw a ball towards the grass and with a bark, Pogo run after it, retrieving immediately and trotted back to her with his tail wagging.Maya laughed as she wrestled the ball from his mouth and hugged him when he dropped it.“He can’t do anything, Gray,” Callum Moore said patiently as he handed to Grayson some documents that he is reviewing. He leaned back on his chair and followed his gaze. “If Cunningham insists, I have the files. Maya knows about it.”“And you know overtime that she tends to forget them,” Grayson returned sarcastically. He let out a frustrated sigh as he run a hand through his hair and leaned back on his chair. “The severe trauma to her head from that accident six years ago has always been the effect even up to now. I tried getting her back to therapy but she’s very firm in her decision not to. If you remember, we had a

Maya followed the salesperson assigned to her the next Tuesday morning as she is being led to another row of plates on display at The Plate Signature. The shop that Grayson had recommended her to had her plates customized.“That shop has been known in this state as the best pottery for plates,” he mentioned to her over the weekend as she presented to him the design that she came up with and asked the best location for the restaurant logo to be printed on. “I even told Skylar to have The Spicy Panda’s plates made here as well. A different look for this branch, something modern.”“I already had Thomas set an appointment for you on Tuesday at ten in the morning. It’s already on your calendar and reminder,” he continued as he looked at the different plates, she had sketch and pointed at one. He smiled at her approvingly. “Why not make this one as the serving plate instead? You can put the signature on the top center.”Maya contemplated for a while, studying his suggestion before finally n

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. He gave her a loud

Two weeks later…Jordan watched from the bench as the jury came back from their private conference room on a Wednesday morning. He shifted on his seat and winced a little and Adam, who is beside him, turned in concerned.“I’m good,” he assured as his friend. “Just needed to stretch out after this.”It has been more than a month since they were finally able to catch Paul Willis, Mary and Jenna Hamilton and her kids and ended the havoc that they created.Jordan was able to wake up from his coma two weeks after the incident and that was when he finally discovered the deep reason why such turmoil was made especially by Paul Willis. To his shocked, Grayson’s brother was able to find out that Paul Willis is an offspring of his grandfather from a woman he randomly met at a business summit. During that time, his grandmother had already passed away and the woman just became a passing fancy.When Dexter was informed that she got pregnant and said that she doesn’t want to be involved in his worl
