MAEOur phones, switched off? I know I switched mine off, I stare behind me at Ryder, before looking back at the lake."Why are your phones switched off?" Sin's voice holds a mix of concern and frustration, which makes me pause for a moment. "I'm sorry," I respond, trying to keep the conversation calm. "I just needed some time to think things through."There's a brief silence on the other end of the line. I can almost picture Sin running his hand through his hair, a sign of his impatience or stress I've come to recognize over the past few weeks. "I get that, Mae, but you could have just told me. I was worried about you," he finally says, his voice softening slightly."....." "I am sorry, I didn't mean to -""It's fine," I brush it off, not wanting to remember how he had reacted earlier."No, it's not fine, Mae. I am sorry for how I reacted before. You deserve better than that. I was just stressed and I took it out on you, which wasn’t fair," Sin’s voice comes through."Alright," I r

MAEMy hand tightens on the doorknob, my mouth forming an O, I take a step back realizing I must be invading his privacy, what would he think of me if he found me watching him but I feel the desire to watch, to see what he is doing.I must be out of my mind, I look behind me just to be sure no one is looking at me before taking a step forward and peeping at them again.This time, Ryder is no longer on his back but on his knee, the woman has her ass arched to him, waiting patiently for him to take it. She chuckles lightly staring at Ryder as she spreads her legs far apart.He slaps her behind softly before pulling her by the waist towards him and thrust deep into her.A soft moan escapes the woman's lips, her hand holding onto the sheets for dear life and her breasts bouncing towards each other.He continues to pull her down on him, he stops and his thrust picks up speed and depth, the woman struggling to keep herself from moaning loudly. She pants softly, her eyes gliding to the back

SIN"What is Evelyn doing here?" Mae questions running her fingers through her hair, frustration evident in her voice. I glance at Mae, trying to maintain my composure despite the unexpected interruption. I know she and Evelyn despise each other, the hospital incident already proved that. "I'm not sure, but it can't be good," I say, my tone laced with annoyance. "It must be about Lily."Mae's brows knit together in concern. "Lily? Or is it about you?" she asks."Me?""Your mum seems hellbent on getting rid of me, I won't be surprised if this unexpected visit is to do just that," she says, and it feels like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders as she lets out a low sigh.I pull Mae close, my arms wrapping around her in a protective embrace. "I'm on your side, you can trust me," I reassure her, feeling her body tense in my arms. "It's not you that I don't trust, it is Evelyn," she admits. Her admission is sharp, slicing through the air between us. I nod, understanding the dep

MAEI place my hand on my chest, my heart racing. I can't go to jail, especially for something I didn't do. How could Lily confess to my involvement in all of this? Sin's expression is one of conflicted emotions. He runs his fingers through his hair, he sighs, "Relax," he says placing his hand on mine. "This scandal could destroy everything, the company, my reputation, but we need to prioritize. Your freedom and clearing your name comes first. I will get my lawyers and speak to Evelyn. We'll resolve this issue, okay?" "I am so sorry Sin, I can't believe that Lily will do something like this, I don't even know what has gotten into her," I say, my voice breaking under the strain. The room feels unbearably tight, the walls closing in as the gravity of the situation sinks deeper.Sin squeezes my hand reassuringly. "We'll figure this out together. I know you, Mae. You wouldn't harm anyone, let alone orchestrate something this destructive. We just need to get to the station and figure thi

SINMy lawyer showed up just in time, we tried speaking in the hallway while I waited for Mae but he insisted we go to my car instead.Ryder remains outside the car, while I listen to my lawyer explain his findings regarding the case, and according to him, Mae is likely going to get arrested alongside Lily for leaking the sex video of me and Evelyn.He believes they should be looking at getting sentenced to jail for about three to five years. That's how serious this is.I clench my fists, frustrated. I am not surprised if Lily is involved in any of this, but Mae, No, she can't be, because I had left her back at the office with Ryder watching over her. If she had left his sight, even for just a moment, Ryder wouldn't hesitate to inform me."Are you absolutely sure there's no mistake in the evidence?" I ask my lawyer, still confused by the darn evidence that Lily is claiming to have that connects Mae to the crime. He shakes his head slowly. "The evidence provided by Lily is pretty sol
