Grayson got out of his private plane and bounded down the stairs where Thomas is waiting for him with a gray Mercedes Benz behind on a Saturday morning. After thanking the crew, he immediately got inside the car behind the driver while his secretary occupied the opposite side.

“These are the documents that Mr. Nathan wanted me to hand to you the minute you arrive,” Thomas said formally as he handed him an envelope. “It’s about the driver, Simon Ryder, who was the last person who saw Rachel Hamilton alive.”

“How about that black box that Nathan had mentioned?” Grayson asked as he pulled out the documents. “Was he able to retrieve the file already?”

“Not yet, sir,” Thomas replied. “He already got the court order with the consent of Mr. Cunningham. He will see to it on Monday first thing. He flew in yesterday to take care of it.”

Nodding at his assistant, Grayson browsed through the documents that Nathan had prepared for him and read through the file of the driver-bodyguard that was with

  • The Heart Remembers: Caught Between Billionaires   CHAPTER 68

    Maya woke up the following Monday morning and was surprised to see Jordan, lying beside her sleeping and wearing the clothes probably from the day before. She studied his face that looks to be quite tired from the dark circles under his eyes. He had a straight nose that goes together with his prominent chin and squared jawline.He has a wide forehead, strong brow bone and thick straight eyebrows that she remembered she had her hands run over it when she gave in to his lovemaking the previous day.Where did he go? She wondered as she watched him rolled onto his back, still in a deep sleep.Jordan didn’t even bother to cover himself with. The way she sees it, he just probably took off his shoes and immediately fall into bed to sleep. Maya didn’t hear or felt him last night or whatever time he came because she took a sleeping pill when she had a nightmare the other night. That night where Jordan didn’t come home.It was the first time for her to sleep alone on his bed since the day he ha

    Jordan walked beside Maya by the shoreline of The White Coral Beach late that afternoon after taking her into a pasta house where she met and talked with the owner, an Italian chef who gave her a tour of his factory and taught her how to make handmade pasta from scratch that his grandmother had taught him.He remembered just watching her eyes getting excited at every word the chef is telling her. He had also seen that when he took her to the coffee shop where he watched her enjoyed the slice of dark chocolate cake that the owner served her.Jordan realized that he had fallen in love with the woman that she is now. Not as Rachel but as Maya. He didn’t know when but he guessed it was during those times he had pushed himself on her while St. Claire was back in E Country and had sought his help in watching over him.St. Claire made that big mistake, Jordan thought.Maya had been haunting him in his dreams ever since that night she came also as a chaperone to Cass’s school dance. She was w

    Grayson slowed down the speed of his car as he finally saw the familiar line of trees of the residential area where he had followed Jordan over the weekend. He looked at his watch and saw that it already read eleven in the evening. Looking through the rearview mirror, he saw Cunningham opening his eyes and looked towards the surroundings.They could have arrived earlier. However, the wound on Maya’s arm became infected and she started having a fever. They finally had no choice but to make an emergency stop at a hospital in a small town they passed by for the doctors and nurses to tend to her. They had to wait several more hours as she was administered an antibiotic in her system that needs her to be at rest for a while.He also advised Jordan to put a different name on Maya’s information just as a precaution. Jordan stared at him for a while before following what he was told.“How the hell did you find out about the country home?” Jordan demanded at Grayson, who stood outside the buil

    That stupid, stupid Englishman!!! I should have known better! I should have known that he will continue to keep an eye on that b1tch! He is definitely right in not trusting Jordan to take care of the woman because he never protects her well enough!!!If it not for that man, that b1tch would have been dead by now! I saw blood on the explosion sight and I’m definitely sure it belongs to her because Jordan was pushing her ahead of him! But that other man had to put his nose into other people’s business and rescued them!You are such a f8cking b1tch, Rachel Hamilton! Those two men will do anything to make sure that you will stay alive from all of these plans I had laid out for you! Ugh! And now my stupid men could not currently pinpoint your location. Where the f8ck did that Englishman took you? And to hear that security around Cassandra has been tightened!Now, I have to f8cking wait again until you appear. I should have known better. That Englishman will do anything to get you back and

    Grayson opened his eyes later that day and looked at the ceiling for a long while before finally deciding to get up and proceeded to the adjoining bathroom in the Guest Room that Cunningham had given to him in his country home.He looked at himself in the mirror, noting his shadowed beard and thought to shave once he returns to his residence in Montleigh Villas. Going back to the room, he opened his bag and put on a plain white polo shirt and khaki pants that he had packed in case of emergency.Reaching for his phone, he checked for any messages from Nathan and found none. Instead of calling his friend to demand the update that needs, he decided to forego it, knowing that Nathan and his team are also doing their best in solving the case. He decided to head out of the room and the scent of coffee immediately greeted him.“Can you do a star pancake, Mommy?”Grayson arrived at the dining area and already saw Maya and Spencer at the island kitchen, making some breakfast. Spencer looks to

    “I’m sorry that I have to do this, Ms. Rachel,” Simon Ryder cried to her desperately while wading through traffic. “But the one who ordered me to do this has something that will destroy my family if I will not follow what was told of me!”“Simon, please. Lower your gun! You’re better than this!” Rachel responded desperately. “Don’t do this. We can find a way out of it! Let me call, Jordan so he will know what to do! I’m sure that he’s going to help you! He speaks highly of you and I know that he trusts you!”“He cannot help!” Simon protested his voice slowly getting angry. “He cannot help because he was a part of it! It’s best that you know that the man you’re marrying is not a good person, Ms. Hamilton!”“N-No. That’s not true!” Rachel insisted gently. “Jordan’s a hard man but once you get to know him, he can be someone that you can count on!”“If he is a good man, Ms. Rachel,” he explained stiffly. “Then, how come he didn’t put a stop to it?! Why would he let that friend of his cont

    Maya made sure that Spencer is deeply asleep on his bed before finally getting up and out of the room. She slowly pulled the door as she walked out and only left a small gap, so that she could hear him in the event he will be waking up after a few hours. It has been five hours since Grayson had taken off without any explanation and for Jordan telling her not to bother him and had sent her out of his office after his hand was treated. After assuring Spencer that he is okay, he turned his back at them, his own way of telling them that he wants to be alone. With her goal to make Spencer forget what he had just saw, Maya put her concern on Jordan to the back of her mind and concentrated on making her son feel better. She took Spencer out to the back of the house and played with him for a while. Cassandra had called her, anxious to know where she is and if she is alright. She told Maya that her Uncle Jordan had called her a while ago and then added security to her and that he had her sta

    Jordan followed behind Maya silently as they stepped inside the elevator on the 8th floor, going up to his condo floor on a Thursday afternoon. He pressed the button for their floor and watched as the doors closed in front of them.“Where will I sleep, Mommy?” Spencer asked eagerly as he clutched at Maya’s hand tightly.“With me, of course,” Maya replied with a smile. She went down on one knee and smoothed her son’s hair lightly and straightened his shirt. “Mommy’s making up for those times that she wasn’t able to sleep with you aside from telling you bedtime stories.”Spencer’s face could not hide the joy and he hugged his mother tightly.“Will Daddy be sleeping with us, too?” He asked as he turned and looked up at him.Jordan looked down at his son that Maya insisted in bringing back to the condo. She told him flatly that she does not want to be away from him any longer and that Spencer goes wherever she goes. He tried reasoning with her that bringing Spencer out in the public might

    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.
