Grayson stared down quietly at Maya’s sleeping form while sitting quietly on his side of the bed in the room that they are sharing. He stared at the clock across him and saw it turned to one in the morning. Lightly, he reached out and brushed some hair off her face and pulled the blanket over her chest and watched her snuggle comfortably on the bed.He then stood up and went out of their room, heading towards the bar counter and poured himself a glass of scotch. He took it in one drink and poured himself another shot and walked towards the sofa, rubbing the back of his neck.He managed to look towards the balcony, across from the wing of the penthouse they’re occupying and frowned when he saw the lights of the penthouse, he knew being occupied by that Jordan Cunningham still on and saw his physical form.Has he been watching us here since we went up? He thought darkly.To further anger the man, Grayson casually sauntered and pulled the curtains closed. He turned towards the sofa and h
Maya splashed some cold water on her face the following day, washing off the facial foam she applied and then reaching for a towel to pat her skin dry after she took a bath. She looked at herself in the mirror as she tied her hair up, nodded and smiled at herself.After putting on her robe and tying the belt, she went out from the room and made her way to the suite’s dining area, passing through the foyer that has a center table with a nice, giant flower arrangement and she stopped for a while to admire it, taking a picture with her phone.She finally made her way to the dining area and found Grayson on the table, drinking his coffee while reading a document.“Good morning,” she greeted softly, standing behind him and placed her arms around him and gave him a soft and long kiss on the cheek before she took her seat beside him. She smiled at him warmly and thanked the staff assigned in the suite when her coffee was served. “What’s that you’re reading?”Grayson placed the document on on
Jordan looked up from the report on the hotel’s operating facilities when Mason came inside his office in The Oceanview Hotel that he had acquired months ago, clearing his throat on a sunny Wednesday morning. “Ms. Griffiths has arrived, sir and already at the dining area checking the progress of the renovation works,” he informed formally. “The instructions you also gave is waiting outside on top of my desk.” Jordan immediately got up on his feet and smoothed down his front, straightening his tie and reaching for his jacket and putting it on immediately. He looked at his reflection on one window and tidied up his hair. “What do you think?” He asked his secretary, holding out his hands at his sides. “Think she’ll be less afraid of me now? I don’t look like the cold and callous executive that I’ve been hearing about, right?” Mason rolled his eyes at him, something that only he can do from those working with him. “I value my tenure under your employ, Mr. Jordan. As well as my life,” h
Maya opened the door to her suite and gripped the knob a little bit tight when she saw two porters in front of her, greeting her warmly and carrying large flower arrangements in a white vase respectively. The first arrangement is a combination of roses and peonies and the second is an arrangement of white, blush and purple tulips.“Please place the roses and peonies on the living room and the tulips on the kitchen counter,” she said with a smile and stepped back from the door to let them in. She watched as they did what she requested. “Let me guess. You’re still not going to accept any tip from me.”“It’s taken care of, Ms. Griffiths,” they answered in unison.After they left and closing the door, Maya walked straight to the kitchen counter and reached for the envelop from the arrangement. She took out the card and read the message.“You want to know who I’m in love with?” The card started. “Just read the first word again. I’ll see you soon. Love, Grayson.”Maya smiled as she placed t
Grayson got out of the car when it finally stopped in front of The Oceanview Hotel and straighten out his sports jacket. He looked towards the entry and waited for Thomas to stand beside him as he handed his luggage to a porter.“Are you really sure that you don’t want to come with us, Thomas?” Grayson asked as they went through the doors. “I already told you there’s a room for you and Maya would love to have you there.”“I’m going to be okay here, Mr. Grayson,” Thomas replied. He arched one eyebrow at his boss knowingly. “I’m sure you and Ms. Maya missed each other and I don’t want to intrude. Or more likely a witness to the testament of your deep love for her.”“I really should have forced you to transfer work with my mother,” Grayson snapped at him lightly. However, he grins after saying that statement when Thomas only walked ahead of him smugly towards the reception for check in. “Hey! I’ll go and check on Maya. Then let’s grab some lunch at one of the restaurant’s here.”“I’ll ta
I’ve been told that there’s a woman who so much looks like the b1tch I had paid someone to kill. It looks like that the moment Jordan laid eyes on her he had convinced himself that she is the b1tch. I’ve got to hand it to him. He had never believed that his beloved Rachel Hamilton died in that accident. His Rachel. Yewck! Just thinking about that one press conference he did where he had referred to her as “My Rachel” has made me throw the meal I am about to have without even eating it. The bitter taste my mouth got made me lose my appetite.Now, here he is at again. Going crazy over a woman who looks like his b1tch. However, the woman that he is obsessing about is with another man! Engaged at that! To an Englishman! I heard and read that he is being dubbed as the St. Claire Rogue! Can that get even more sexier?Anyway, I’ve been reading about this man and looks like Jordan will be meeting his match. A billionaire at his own right. Someone who can meet him eye to eye. Someone who he ca
Maya turned on her side and opened her eyes, searching for the lighted digits of the digital clock on her bedside table. She groaned inwardly when she saw it read three in the early morning. She rolled on her back and waited for sleep to take over her again.She missed Grayson beside her.It has been over three days since Grayson went back to CF State after taking a two-week vacation to spend time with her in the villa, which he had purchased years before. Just three days and she’s already missing him.She decided to blame him for her predicament because for the two weeks that they had been together, Grayson made love to her almost every day and night. She then recalled that Grayson will be waking her up at this time and will make love to her again and go back to sleep after, waking up later in the morning for another session before they will go down to have brunch.Maya was about to reach for her phone to call him but held herself back as she remembered that Grayson will be attending
Jordan slowed the engine and finally put his car to a stop right in front of his villa, three hours later and turned to his right where Maya is sitting quietly beside him. He stopped himself from pulling her into his arms to ease the fear on the ordeal that she had went through.After the paramedics checked on her and treating the injuries she sustained, Jordan accompanied her to the police station where she formally gave her statement and had charges filed against the man who entered her villa, hurt her and nearly raped her.During the time they were in the precinct, Jordan saw Maya answer a call and he assumed that it was probably Grayson. He watched from where he was sitting and saw her speaking quietly on the phone for a while before becoming frantic. She was walking back and forth, probably talking some sense into Grayson before the call finally ended.“Looks like you’ve got company,” Jordan commented, breaking the silence inside the car.Maya turned towards the direction of her
