Grayson treated Maya like a precious porcelain for the next few days, making sure that she won’t be caught unaware to prevent adding more trauma from the accident she had went through. The accident had even made her paranoid for the first two days, closing all the black-out curtains inside their room especially when he told her the initial report from the investigation police.Adding to that, Maya has been having nightmares in her sleep and she would wake up crying in the middle of the night or early in the morning. The only thing that he could do is console her.She even refused to leave their room and the two of them had been eating their meals inside despite Grayson, not preferring that set-up as well as the fact that she only has a small appetite, barely touching her food.He remembered the following day after she was discharged, Maya handed her phone to Grayson. Reading through the messages of the unknown person, he had to control his rage so she won’t get upset. He called up Nat
Jordan looked up furiously from the report that he is reading the following day inside his office and threw them back at Mason.“What the f8ck is this report?” He demanded angrily. “Is the one making this even a detective? What kind of bull$hit is this? Call them up and tell them I said so. Such a piece of trash report without the proper details.”He watched as Mason gathered the documents and went out from his office. He pushed back his chair and walked towards his liquor cabinet and poured himself another drink. Despite the hour in the morning, Jordan didn’t give one damn bit if he’s already drunk at the hour.His confrontation with that a$$hole St. Claire yesterday only furthered his desire to grabbed the bottle in front of him and smashed it on the wall, imagining it to be that ba$tard’s face. He recalled the mocking face that Grayson gave him when he informed him of his sleeping arrangement with Maya.Jordan, way before the accident had happened, already had a suspicion that they
**WARNING: This Chapter contains mature/sexual content. Read with discretion.**Maya wrapped her arms around Grayson’s neck as he pulled her closer to him that night in their room. She closed her eyes when she felt his lips underneath her ear, kissing her skin hungrily and doing light nibbles on her earlobe.The past few weeks had been quite challengingly hard, stressful and traumatic for both of them. It all had started with her discovery of Elizabeth Blackthorne that made her rebel against him that led to their first major fight since being together. Next came the threatening messages she’s been receiving on her phone as well through her mail, which she finally showed to Grayson, that led her to that accident.Upon being discharged at the hospital, Maya was informed that Grayson, along with Jordan, were arrested and brought to the station and detained, over the altercation and disturbance they did at the hospital.“This is all my fault,” she cried to Thomas, who picked her up that m
“Sir, Ms. Maya is here to see you,” Mason’s voice came on the intercom in Jordan’s desk inside his office on a Wednesday morning. “I told her you have a conference call. Shall I schedule her for later?” Jordan looked up from his laptop screen and reached for the button. “No. Send her in,” Jordan instructed firmly before turning back to the screen where he is meeting with some of his foreign hotel investors. “I’m sorry, gentlemen, but I have to end our meeting and will reschedule one for the continuation. Just email me any concerns you have from what we have discussed.” The men nodded and said their goodbyes and Jordan closed his laptop and stood up, tidying himself, buttoning his coat and run a hand through his hair. He walked around his desk when one panel of the double door pushed open and Mason ushered Maya inside. “Thank you, Mason,” Maya said softly. Jordan stood by his desk and watched Maya walked towards him. He could feel his heart pounding furiously and he swallowed slowl
It seems like the same thing all over again! If I could just scream the excitement that I am feeling inside of me!!! The woman is being heavily guarded again! Only this time two gorgeous men are doing it for her! However, haven’t they learned anything yet?! Are they stupid? Or should I say, is Jordan really that stupid?!He should know better than that Englishman! But the way I look at it, the Englishman seems to have catch on much faster than him!! Just two incidents and he already connected it with the accident that Rachel or Maya or whatever f8cking name she has, had gone through. Or it seems to me he has the better connections.Jordan is lagging behind and it pleases me so much to see him suffering! It’s time that he realizes he won’t always be at the top. Sooner someone much better than him will come along and he’ll find himself losing. I’ve waited for this time to come and it’s finally here!One more thing I had also learned. That b1tch does not want her memories back! Looks lik
“Wow! Ms. Maya is really something else!” Cassandra gushed excitedly on an early Wednesday evening in one of the small, private rooms of Aurora. She looked down at the appetizer served to her by the waitress before taking a photo from her professional camera. “It is unfortunate to eat this.”A round plate of Teriyaki Salmon, Winter Slaw and Horseradish Canape Recipe was placed in front of Jordan by a waitress while Cassandra looked down happily at the Swedish ‘Wagyu and Pearls’ on croutons appetizer that she ordered from the menu list that each table has.It was the night of Aurora’s pre-grand opening where around a hundred guests were invited for as its first diners aside from Jordan and his family. There were press people, food critics, known businessmen from the state, prominent families and Grayson’s board of directors from Deli Gourmet. There are also some personal friends invited as well by Grayson and Maya.When Jordan arrived and entered the restaurant with his grandfather, hi
Robert Landau placed his cup of coffee back on his desk the following day and stood up, going to one of his wooden drawers, pulling one out and rummaged through the files for a while. He finally pulled out a red folder, checked the papers inside before heading back to his desk.Jordan watched intently as the older man sat on his desk and browsed through the papers. After sending off his family the following day, Mason approached him and informed him that he had already contacted Robert Landau and had set up an appointment with him at his residence.“Jordan, it’s good to see you, son,” Robert Landau greeted when Jordan was escorted to his office in his residence. He shook Jordan’s hands warmly and requested for his staff to serve them some coffee. “You secretary sounded urgent over the phone. Is something wrong?”“Grandpa revealed something to me last night and told me to confirm it with you,” Jordan answered calmly after they had taken their seats. “The truth is, grandpa’s been pretty
Grayson folded the newspaper he is reading and placed it on the table, reaching for his cup of coffee on a Tuesday morning. He turned when Maya came to his side and placed down a breakfast board platter filled with plain croissant, waffles, bacon, eggs, hash and some mixed berries.“This looks swell, hon,” Grayson commented with a grin as Maya sat on her chair.Maya smiled back at him as she thanked Yasmine after her glass was filled with orange juice. “It’s my first day off from the shop and I deserve this,” she said with a laugh as she placed two slices of waffle on her plate and one croissant. “The staff had been urging me to rest and assured me that the kitchen will be okay.”“You deserve it, Maya after all the work you’ve done,” Grayson added as he filled his plate with bacon, eggs and hash. He took one croissant and immediately break it in half. “Aurora’s been doing pretty well since it opened and we’re nearly on our second month.”“And I’m still in cloud nine over the number of
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
