Later in the day, Jayden was in his office lost in thought. "How was this even possible? For the first time in five years I could sleep peacefully without taking sleeping pills, but how?". he was so lost in thought that he couldn't notice his phone was ringing. Maya came out of her room and left for the kitchen to see the maids busy. " Do you guys need help?". she asked from the doorstep and turned to her quickly and bowed in respect. "please don't bow to me, am not God". she said. " We are sorry, Ms. Maya, is just our duty to do so". the head maid said. "But I don't want that, it makes me feel less of a human being, I can see clearly, that you all here are a little older than I am, so, I prefer being addressed normally". she said smiling and they smiled back at her." So, can we start all over again and introduced ourselves properly?". she asked and they nodded. "I will go first". The head maid said." my name is Linda". she said. "Such a wonderful n
Jayden was chatting and laughing with his brothers in his office along with chill alcoholic drinks. "Wow, big Bro, your attitude has changed". Ryan said as he continued to examine him. " Meaning?". Jayden questioned. "Meaning, you seem happy these days, so, tell me, what's the secret?" he questioned and Theo scoffed. "I know, his attitude changed since the day Maya moved in with him, he is beginning to fall for her". Theo said. " What nonsense, Why will I fall for her?" Jayden questioned. "Everything, because she is carrying your child, no lady will keep a child for the man she dislikes, if I can see it clearly, that lady hates you". Theo said as he gulp from his drink. " He is right, so, when are you telling Mother about it?"Ryan asked. "Don't worry about that, I will tell Mom now". Theo said as he brought out his phone and dialed his mother's number, it rang for a while before she picked it up. " Hi Mom, he said and there was a pause."yes
Two days later, Maya arrived home later in the day, she got to her room and saw a fancy bag on her bed, she moved to see what was inside the bag. "Wow!". She gasped to see an ocean blue chiffon off-shoulder dress with a slit. " This is beautiful" " She saw a note inside the bag and she read it to herself."wear this for dinner tomorrow", hmm, his taste in ladies' wear doesn't look as bad as I thought," she said and placed it on her closet before she left to the bathroom. A few hours later, both were seated having their dinner with the maids surrounding them. Maya felt pity for them because of the way they all stood watching them and she could see how tired they looked. "Um, I saw the dress you bought for me, thank you". she said. " I thought you were the ungrateful type that doesn't say thank you when someone gifts them something". he said coldly and Maya frowned at him. "Well, not everyone is as ungrateful as you think, I am not like you". she replied rudely.
Days later, Maya was helping out with the girls in the kitchen and she was lost in thought of how she kept having a dream of someone cuddling when she was asleep. "Are you ok, Ms. Maya?". Linda asked as she noticed her mood. " Yeah". she replied. "But you don't look fine to us, is something bothering you?". Andrea asked and Maya sighed. " Um, is it possible for someone to keep having a repeated dream for weeks?"She asked and they stared at her confusedly "How do you mean?" Amma questioned. "I don't know, I just keep having this strange dream that someone always sleeps and cuddle me at night, I thought maybe it was my imagination not until it kept repeating itself". she said. " Really? You don't know who the person is?" Lucy asked and Maya tossed her head. "That's strange". Linda said. " I don't think that is strange, it is not your imagination or a dream". Andrea said and turned to her. "How do you mean?" Maya asked confu
Maya was busy arranging the dresses to their position at the same time lost in thought. "Is he really telling the truth about him having insomnia?" She questioned and continued to mumble on the words. Just then Mrs. Williams walked into the building with some escort, and people bowed to her in respect and she smiled at them, She got to where Maya was, and she noticed her lost in thought, she smiled and walked up to her. "Hey maya ". she said smiling and Maya turned to her quickly. " Mrs. Williams" " She gave a slight bow. "How are you, my dear?". she asked caressing her hair tenderly. " Am fine ma, Are you here to buy--" she got interrupted. "No dear, am here to take you out for lunch". she said and Maya stared at her surprisedly. " Me?". she sputtered and Mrs. Williams smiled at her. "Of course, you, shall we?". " Um, Ma, is not--"she got interrupted. "I know is not advisable to go out with someone during work hours, I get it, but, you
Two days later, Maya came out of the shopping mall to get her lunch across the street, suddenly, a sports car parked in front of her and she pulled back so as not to get hit, then Lucas stepped out of the car smiling. "What the hell". she stared hard at him and Lucas stood at her front smiling. " Hey, did I scare you?" he asked. "What are you doing here and why are you blocking my way?". she asked. " Well, am just here to apologize for what I said the other day". he said, and Maya scoffed."so, am I forgiven?". "Mr..." "Lucas, you can call me Lucas". " Yeah, whatever, can you please get your car out of the way, you are obstructing my view". she said and turned to leave but Lucas blocked her path." what do you want?". "I am not letting you go until you accept my forgiveness, see, I had to take the risk to come see you, I had no escort with me, you know it's risky for a guy like me". He said proudly. " Do I look like I care, how do you kn

The next morning, Maya woke up and noticed she slept alone on the bed, she wondered where Jayden could be since he hadn't come back home last night, and she wondered why she was so worried about his whereabouts. "Why do you care, Maya? Don't worry about him, he is old enough to take care of himself". she said as stood up to the bathroom to freshen up. Some hours later, the manager was attending to some influential people in the VIP lobby, she asked Maya to get them some drinks, which she obeyed and left to get the drinks, Angela and Becky were beside the customers attending to their needs.
