SINMy eyes flicker open at the sound of a knock on the door. I groan taking a glance at Mae, she is still sleeping soundly in my arms. Wait! Did I sleep off? I raise my hands to check the arm and realization hits me that it's past ten. I have never slept off this deep, never! And with a woman by my side. How did this happen? All I wanted to do was help her get some sleep. The knock falls on the door again louder this time. Not wanting to wake Mae up, I gently extract myself from the bed laying her head on the pillow, and approach the door.With a wary twist of the knob, I stare at Victoria as the door opens."Honestly Victoria it's too early to want to fire you," if there are any rules I have given her, it's that she should never disturb me. "I am sorry, Mr. Hayes, I didn't mean to disturb you," she says bowing her head. "Your brother is here. I tried to explain to him that you were busy and wouldn't want to be disturbed but he said it's urgent."I knew Ethan was bound to reach o
SIN “For now I will appreciate it if you do not inform her of the current situation. I am sure you both might meet each other in the hospital,” I say. If there has been foul play, it will be best to play along until I am certain of who is behind all of this. If Mae finds out the truth, I doubt she will be able to keep it away from Lily. "What if it gets really bad? What if her presence is urgently needed and she isn't there." "Then call me, I will sort it out," I inform him. "I don't think this is a good idea, Mae deserves to know," he says shaking his head in a sign of no. "She will, but not now. I want to be -" A scream from inside suddenly fills the penthouse and takes the words out of my mouth as my eyes widen in fear, I stand on my feet knowing that it is Mae's voice. "Who is that?" Ethan panics also getting on his feet. "It's nothing, I have a guest. Just find out the information I need," I say to him as Victoria also races into the living room. "You can make the h
MAEMy lips part, but I am unable to say anything.He leans forward grabs me by my hair and pulls me closer to him until our faces are inches apart. He looks into my eyes, a mischievous look evident on his face."But I won't touch you until you are sober up," he mutters. "I want you to feel every pain, every thrust, every touch, and remember it all over and over again with a clear head."I feel my body tremble underneath his hold as his words sink in. I try to push him away, but he tightens his grip on my hair, yanking me forward and making me wince in pain."You are hurting me," I groan."This is nothing compared to what I will do to you, and do you know the interesting part princess? You will love every bit of it," he chuckles looking at me intensely, his lips curling up into a sinister smile. I swallow as I try not to avoid his gaze, to look unfazed by his words but my eyes slowly drop from his eyes to his lips. My mind raced to the bathroom when we kissed and how his lips felt o
MAEBut he doesn't respond. I shake my head in frustration, knowing there is no way I can get out of this.What have I gotten myself into? It's too early for this I sigh laying my head back in bed and placing my hand over my forehead. But deep down, a part of me can't help but feel a hint of excitement at the thought of being alone with him, wearing nothing but an apron.How would he react to me walking around his house naked?Despite the embarrassment and guilt of last night, there is a flutter of anticipation in my stomach at the thought of being so vulnerable in his presence.He didn't need to admit that he would enjoy this, I could see it in his eyes but, what is stopping me from also enjoying this? No. I can't be thinking this way, not after touching myself the other day in front of him and watching him walk out on me. But what if he didn't just walk out on me, what if he was turned on and unable to control himself?Maybe I can use this opportunity to find out what he thinks ab
SIN"It won't be bad to have you clean more often," I tease taking a step closer to her. Her eyes widen in surprise at my words, unsure of how to respond. But I can see the hint of a smile tugging at the corner of her lips."Is that so, Mr. Hayes?" she replies, a playful glint in her eyes.I smirk, "Maybe if you do it well, I will have to fire Victoria and have you replace her full-time."She smiles and takes a step closer, places her hand on my chest, and leans in closer to my ear. her boldness surprises me but I find myself leaning into her touch, captivated by her presence. "And what would be my salary, Mr. Hayes?" she whispers, her breath warm against my ear.A smile tugs at the corner of my lips as she leans back biting her bottom lips playfully, staring at me for an answer to her question.I catch the playful look in her eyes, and something inside me stirs, is she trying to seduce me? The thought of her trying only makes me smile internally.My hand moves to the small of her bac
SINWith that, I turn to leave, the desire to kiss her goodbye lingering within but I don't give her another glance.As I make my way through the corridors, I send a message to Ryder to get ready to leave for the company even though I know he is always ready to get to work.I stop by my room to grab my jacket then make my way to the elevator, down to the ground floor where I find Ryder already waiting for me as usual by the car door. He gives me a slight nod, "Afternoon Sir," he greets. I acknowledge his greeting with a slight nod as well before getting into the car. As the car starts moving, Ryder and I don’t talk much, silence has never been a problem between us. The city looks pretty as we drive by, but I’m too busy thinking about the way I left Mae and if I should have just ignored the call and not ruined the moment we were having.I lean back into my seat, my lips curling up into a smile secretly at the thought of how hot she looked in that apron, I am sure I won't be getting
MAE"If it isn't my lovely niece," Aunty Margaret smiles as she steps into the living room.I know I shouldn't be here, I swore I would never come here again after how it all ended but when I got her message regarding my parents I just couldn't resist. Especially after everything Jason had told me about her dealings.My curiosity had gotten the better part of me and I couldn't help but disobey Sin's orders and rush here immediately "Have the maids not offered you anything to drink?" She asks looking at the empty table next to me. "Maria -" she calls her maid."I am not interested in drinking anything," I interrupt her. "You said you had something important to discuss over the phone regarding my parent's death."Her smile falters for a fraction of a second, a subtle shift that might have gone unnoticed by anyone not paying close attention. But with my heightened sense of awareness in this place that is brimmed with both nostalgia and bitterness, I don't miss it."Ah, yes, your parents
MAE"Madam I tried to -" Maria tries to explain the situation to my aunt but my aunt raises her hand interrupting her."Maria it's alright," Aunt Margaret tells her waving her off with her hand."I-I am sorry Ma'am," the maid pleads bowing her head, "I tried to stop him, Ma'am," she adds."I said you may leave, are you now deaf Maria?" My aunt asks and throws Maria a mean glare. There is a look in her eyes like she doubts my aunt will let her off easily but she leaves the living room with a worried look."What are you doing here?" The question slips out of my mouth as I get on my feet. How did he know I was here? I knew he would eventually find out I left the house once he got back home but how did he figure I would be here and not in the hospital with Lily? He walks up to me and pulls me by the arm not sparing my aunt a glance or giving me an answer to my question. His grip on my arm is firm, but not painful, a clear sign he means business whether I like it or not. My aunt watches
