Jordan went out from his car and immediately proceeded to the elevator, pushing the VIP floor button of The Grand Garden Medical Center the following day. Mason stood beside him, carrying a bouquet of flowers as well as his bodyguards.“Call Lewis and have him check the driver’s employment background,” he instructed to him firmly. “I don’t believe what happened was an accident after seeing his records. Adam has his team reviewing all possible CCTV footages.”“Already did, Mr. Cunningham,” Mason replied, proving his efficiency as his secretary. “I also had the other members of the family’s background check to see if there are any connections that can be establish.”“I want an update within one hour,” Jordan stated.When the elevator finally arrived on the VIP floor, Jordan then proceeded towards Maya’s room. His face darkened when one bodyguard raised one hand to stopped him from entering the room.“The Duke of Wellington is currently with Ms. Griffiths,” the bodyguard informed him fir
Maya, with the assistance of Steven, her bodyguard carefully stepped out of the car when it stopped at the driveway at the hospital, a week later when she was discharged. She sat down on the wheelchair prepared for her and Steven then wheeled her inside.As much as she wanted to walk, her legs will give out the longer she stands, something her physical therapist is helping her with.After being given the all clear for discharged on her third day in the hospital, she received news that Grayson had slipped into a coma. Something that she had feared every time she goes see him and he still had not regained any consciousness.Benedict had to put some sense back and lectured Maya when she broke down in front of him when she was given the news.“Grayson does not need your tears, Maya,” Benedict lectured firmly. He placed both hands on her shoulders and gently shake her to stop her from crying. “He’s not going to be happy if I tell him that you’re acting like this when he wakes up.”“Now, li
Grayson watched silently from his wheelchair at the dining table as Maya carefully prepared breakfast at the island counter with Yasmine assisting her on a Wednesday morning. With both of his hands still doing limited movement, Maya has been helping him with his meals since he came home and assisting the male aide that she hired for him when he will take a shower and put on clothes.He also occupied the room that Maya had been using since she got discharged and she had some of their things moved there for convenience. Maya also stayed firm with her decision, despite his insistence, to sleep beside him every night.It has been more than a week since he got out of the hospital and had started therapy for his legs and his arms in one of the rooms in the villa upon his preference. He also had Maya’s therapy session moved to the villa, where she has three remaining sessions left.“Good morning.”Benedict walked towards the dining table, wearing a plain polo shirt, light khaki pants and com
Gloomy skies and heavy rain currently going on a Friday morning, Grayson watched from his wheelchair silently in the middle of his office through the full glass, as the plants that the landscaper had placed outside as well as the one that Maya had added are being soaked and from time to time following the wind that would pass through them. “I want to be alone,” Grayson stated to his aide after telling him to stop the chair. “You can take your break. I’ll call on your phone when I’ll have need of you.” “Yes, sir,” the aide responded and went out from the office, closing the door quietly. He looked down at the folder that Thomas had placed on his lap, telling him that Cunningham could not be located since Monday. The folder contained the divorce papers that Callum had prepared based on his brother’s instructions. “What the f8ck are you saying that Cunningham could not be located?” Grayson barked at Thomas when he arrived that morning and told him about the update. “He simply did not
Maya wiped her eyes and sniffed quietly as she remained sitting on the lounge chair and watched the rain hitting the water in the pool, creating endless ripples. She could not forget the way Grayson had shouted at her when she rushed towards him to even just help him sit up.After Benedict saw her broken at her spot, he immediately consoled and assured her that he will speak to Grayson and out some sense into him. Maya only nodded, unable to reply. Grayson’s words had stung so painfully that she could still not get them out of her head.It’s been thirty minutes since Benedict had sent them out and Maya wondered how stubborn Grayson had become for the two brothers to still remain inside the office. Ever since he woke up from the accident, Maya had noticed some changes in his attitude. He became indifferent and even came to the point of quickly losing his temper. He also became uncooperative in his therapy session, giving the therapist hired a hard time.Maya also then recalled how Gray
Jordan arrived at his villa Sunday night and was surprised to see several cars parked across the road in front of St. Claire’s villa. The entire house is fully lit and he saw more than enough bodyguards surrounding the property. He got out of his sports car and could hear Pogo barking loudly when he opened the main door and went inside. He went down on one knee and rubbed his dog’s face for a while before finally standing up and proceeded to the dining area. “I had to stay longer,” Jordan said when Xavier and Adam came to view. “His fever took a while to go down and he keeps on crying.” “We understood, man,” Xavier responded as the three of them sat on the chairs and talked casually for a while as the staff placed down some plates of food in front of them. He looked surprised at the food laid down and turn to one staff when a bottle of wine was shown to them. “What’s that for? Where did the food come from?” “Ms. Maya from the villa across had a box of wine deliver here together wit
Jordan nodded at some hotel staff who greeted him when he walked through the exhibit hall of The Oceanview where The Wedding Fair is still ongoing with the last few days before it ends on a Wednesday morning.Finally approaching one private room at the far end, Jordan entered without bothering to knock and stopped dead on his tracks as he looked what is in front of him.Maya, stood regal and beautiful in an A-line beaded bridal gown featuring a sweetheart corset with a lightly embellished cape. She was looking at the mirror, smiling dreamily at what she is seeing while the designer and his assistants are assessing the look.Still dodging St. Claire’s legal team to get his signature on the divorce papers for the past two days, Jordan finally decided to go to The Oceanview to talk with Maya and tell her about their marriage.When he was informed that she is in a fitting schedule with world-renowned bridal designer, Jackson Worth, Jordan wasted no time. Ignoring her bodyguards, who came
Grayson rubbed Maya’s back gently as she continued to cry in his arms inside the room that they are occupying at the ground floor. It has been hours since they arrived home after the confrontation that jacka$$ Cunningham did.“What am I going to do, Grayson?” Maya asked, looking up at him desperately. “I understood your intention of keeping it from me. What do I need to do?”“Callum had the divorce papers made already,” he informed her gently as he wiped the tears away from her face. “For the past weeks, they’ve been trying to get Jordan to sign on it. You will be asking nothing from him. No alimony. Nothing. And whatever possession you might have left with him, you will not be getting it.”“Then, why did he not sign it?” She wanted to know. She straightened up and wiped her eyes as another bout of fresh tears appeared. “It’s a win-win situation for him!”Grayson held her at arm’s length.“It’s simple, Maya,” he replied. “He wants you back. Remember that I told you before that somewhe
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
