"I missed you," Maya said, and kissed Giovanni on the neck before moving up to his lips. Giovanni let out a shaky breath as he kissed her back. Maya moved her hands down to Giovanni's belt, trying to remove it. His eyes shot open, and he stepped away from her. "Sorry, Maya. I can't do this." Maya raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "Maya? Since when do you call me that?" Giovanni scratched the back of his head and took a deep breath. "This isn't going to work for me, Maya. I'm just here to fetch Gabriela." Maya felt her heart drop at his words. "What do you mean it won't work out?" She asked as she fought back her tears. "I mean, you're pregnant with someone else's children. No man would want to raise another man's kids!" He yelled. Giovanni regretted what he said the second it left his mouth. Maya could no longer hold her tears in. Her tears began running down her cheeks as she stepped away from Giovanni. "Mami, shit. I didn't mean that, I'm sorry." Giovanni stepped closer
"What happened, Maya?" Skyler asked as soon as she entered the house. Right after Giovanni left, Maya called Skyler and begged her to come over. Without hesitation, Skyler drove up to Maya's house with an overnight bag. Since she was pregnant, she wanted to stay the night to ensure she got enough rest before driving back. "It's Giovanni." Maya wiped her tears with her sleeve. Skyler wasn't sure what Maya meant, but she pulled her into a hug and gently rubbed her back as she waited for her to speak. A few minutes went by before Maya pulled away. "What did he do, Maya?" Skyler asked softly. She moved a strand of Maya's hair behind her ear and lifted her chin. "Maya, talk to me. Please." Skyler sighed. "He lied to me. This whole time, I thought he was fine with me being pregnant, but he told me no man wants to raise another man's kids." Maya paused before taking another breath. "Then he returned a while later and told me he was sorry. We began making out till he got a phone call. Whe
"Mr King, I didn't mean to." Giovanni was silenced by a punch to his cheekbone. Jason wiggled his hand to get rid of the pain before stepping back. "What were the instructions I gave you?" Jason hissed. "You told me never to touch your wife." Jason walked towards the big window in his office and stared out into the city. He gulped the whiskey down and turned to face Giovanni. "And what did you do?" Jason asked as he neared Giovanni. "I touched your wife," Giovanni whispered with his head down. Jason took Giovanni's chin between his fingers and chuckled. "If I wanted to, I could kill you right here. You know that, right?" Jason said calmly. "Yes, sir." Jason walked back to his desk and sat in his chair. "New plan. You're going to go back to Maya and look after her. Try and get back into her good books. She'll let you in. I know she will. She's way too forgiving." Jason sighed before continuing. "You'll take care of her until she gives birth, then leave. I don't want her alone du
"Giovanni, I don't want to see you right now," Maya said as she opened the door. "I know, I know. It's just that Gabriela wanted to see you. She's sitting in the car." Giovanni knew Maya had a soft spot for Gabriela, so he used it against her. He wasn't proud of it, but he had to do it. After being threatened by Jason, Giovanni felt the need to get revenge. He knew exactly how he would do it. Giovanni could see Maya's eyes fill with tears, but he didn't care anymore. "That's not fair, Giovanni. Why would you bring her here knowing I never wanted to see you again." Giovanni shrugged and walked towards the car. He took Gabriela out of her car seat and placed her on the ground. Gabriela locked eyes with Maya and ran towards her with open arms. Maya struggled to bend down because of the size of her belly. She bent down enough to pick Gabriela up and hugged her. "Go on inside and watch TV. I want to talk to your daddy about something, okay?" Maya said and kissed her on the cheek. Maya
"When am I going to see you again?" Maya asked with her arms wrapped around Jason. She didn't want him to leave, but knew he had work to do."I'll pop in tonight and spend one more night." He said and kissed her temple. "I'll have to leave tomorrow, though." "Jason, please don't kill Giovanni. What's going to happen to Gabriela?" Maya asked and let go of Jason. Instead of responding, Jason kissed Maya on her lips and walked out. Maya went to Gabriela's room to wake her up for breakfast. She didn't know what would happen to Gabby if Jason did anything to her father. "Wake up, sleepy head," Maya whispered and shook Gabby. She slowly opened her eyes and tried to adjust them to the brightness. "Where's daddy?" She mumbled and sat up. "He had to get some work done. I'm not sure when he will be back." She lied. How else was she supposed to tell a four-year-old her father was probably being tortured to death?"Okay." She yawned. Gabriela got out of bed and followed Maya to the bathroom,
Jason had finally gotten home. As soon as he entered, he could hear Celia yelling from across the house. He was sick of hearing her yap about everything. "Where the fuck were you, and why weren't you answering your phone!?" She yelled. Jason took his shoes off at the door and walked into the kitchen. Celia followed behind him, yelling, but he couldn't make out what she was saying. All he could think about was Maya. "Answer me when I'm talking to you!" Celia shouted and pushed him. Jason turned around to face her before he spoke. "I was with Maya." He answered, staring into her eyes. Celia crossed her eyebrows and let out a loud breath. "So you're cheating on me then?" She asked. Jason shook his head no and drank his water. "We're not together, Celia.""What do you mean, JJ?" She asked in shock. "You're just carrying my child. That's the only reason you're still around. Which reminds me, you need to move back into your old apartment. I can't take your constant bitching and moaning.
"She is threatening to burn it down, sir."Jason cursed over the phone after one of the guards reported another incident at the third villa he had to buy because of Maya. Maya had already burnt two villas to the ground. He didn't doubt she would do it again."Then stop her damn it!" He yelled"We tried, Mr. King. She is searching for a lighter as we speak." The guard said, knowing what Jason was going to say."Fuck! Let her burn it down. I'll replace it soon." Jason barked and ended the call."Oh, JJ." His secretary, Celia Clark, massaged his shoulders and kissed his neck. "That numbskull doesn't seem to give you a break, does she?""Not Celia." Jason groaned as he got up and went to his best friend, Liam Johnson's office.Jason and Liam worked together for six years already. Mr. King left King Enterprise to Jason when he retired. Jason decided to hire Liam, and the two of them made the business flourish. Jason became a billionaire at the young age of twenty-six. He got the attention o
Jason slammed his car door and tried to calm down before driving off. He made it clear to his parents that he never wanted to have children after he lost his son Jamie. Jason tightened his grip around the steering wheel before speeding away. His vision went blurry as he drove to his mistress's house."Jason?" Celia said as he walked right past her after she opened the door. "I thought we were meeting tomorrow night."Celia poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Jason. He chugged his wine down and poured another."Calm down, JJ."Jason hadn't said a single word since he got there. The only thing on his mind was his son. He didn't deserve to die. Celia walked towards Jason and tried to take his clothes off."Let me help you get out of this restricting suit of yours," Celia said as she stared at him with complete lust."Not now, Celia. I'm seriously not in the mood for this right now."Jason started looking around the room as though he was lost. He began getting flashbacks to the da
