CLAIMED BY HIS RIVAL FRIEND. CHAPTER 009: MAYA’S POV
Work for him?!” How could he have thought of that? Was he looking for possible ways to kill me faster? I dashed out of the hall before I could change my mind. The air outside flushed my skin instantly. I never knew I was choking in there. Heels clicked steadily as I moved like a whirlwind through the driveway. How could he even suggest that?Didn’t he understand what that meant? Didn’t he understand what Gabriel was capable of?A tight breath left my chest as I hurried toward the parking lot, my thoughts racing faster than my steps. Gabriel didn’t need much to react, he didn’t need proof, nor did he need any reason. If he decided I had crossed a line, I knew exactly what he would do.And my mother… He could go after her. My jaw clenched hard. That alone was enough to make my stomach twist.The parking lot was right before me, dimly lit by lights from nearby tall buildings, cars lined in neat rows. Some engines were already humming as some guests were already on their way home. But n

“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice lower now, steadier than I felt. I hadn't expected him to be there. Maya had never mentioned anything about the famous Williams Banks of Banks Holding being affiliated with the company she worked for. “I was invited.” His gaze didn't shift. “You know, I almost declined the invitation when I got it, but on second thought, I decided to be here… That must have been heaven doing its thing,” he smiled slightly.What was he on about? My toes were starting to curl hard against my shoes. His palm remained extended before me. Oh Gosh! I hated what his eyes did to my body. Even with the way he smirked handsomely.I threw the remaining contents of the champagne glass down my throat, as if it would ease the knots forming seriously in my chest and down there in my core.I looked away briefly, gathering myself, then back at him. “I didn’t think you’d attend events like this.” I buffed, I needed to say anything, the tension was weighing in on us.“I att

“Maya!” He yelled still, banging loudly against the door. “You wouldn't open the door, right? You have just forty-eight hours! I give you forty-eight hours to get your sorry self back to the house or you have yourself to blame!” He threatened.I sat still on the cold floor, Legs clasped together, knee to my chest. Each word he thundered left a stab in my chest. A deep, scathing stab. Then the thumping sound of his feet reached me, he was finally gone. Slowly, I crashed to the floor.The pictures flashed back before my eyes. His lips tangled with Amila's. His hand resting at the small of her back like it belonged there. He had never held me that way. He had never kissed me so passionately.He barely ever touched me, all he ever did was fling his tie to one corner, his shoes to the other, then he moved and placed his camera in a way that it could get every scene of me humping off on him. That was the only way I could get him to send some money to my mother. If I ever denied him that si

What should I say to him? That I was playing around? My finger hovered over the text like it was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.Finally, I clicked.‘Hey, gorgeous. I missed a call from you. Tried reaching you but the lines ain't in my Favor, I guess.Do let me know if you need anything.’My back hit the headboard. Williams was being too sweet. Did he still remember I was Gabriel's wife? He couldn't have known about the divorce just yet.Next, I tapped on the message from Marisol, Gabriel's mother. I scoffed as I read the balderdash she wrote.The nerve of her! How dare she give me an ultimatum to move back into the mansion? I could have sworn I knew what she would say. Threats. Empty threats. She never wanted me. Now, she wants me back in the mansion.Well, I have a lot more to worry about. My life. I had just left a four-year-old marriage with nothing to show for it. Tears formed in my eyes again. I sniffed hard, trying to keep them back. Then my phone rang, it was my mother

Evelyn’s Sedan nosed its way into the driveway and parked right under the mahogany tree that stood outside of her apartment. Cool breeze washed my face as I pulled myself out of the passenger's seat.What was worse than a broken heart? That should be finding out that not only did your husband cheat, but he also made sure to create a baby, a human from it, especially on your supposed happy day. Evelyn helped wheel my luggage into the one-storey apartment. “Gabriel is such a bastard!” She cursed. A knot clogged my chest. I fought hard to stop the tears from forming. Gabriel doesn't deserve any of the tears. But how do I look past four years of my life that were snatched away from me in just the blink of an eye?“Gabriel has a child,” the words fell out flat, and low—almost a whisper. Tears cascaded down my face as I thought about it. “A four-year-old child, Eve!” I yelled. She didn't try to stop me. She didn't try to stop the words. She let me yell. As she relaxed into the cream-col

MAYA The phone buzzed insistently on the nightstand. I stretched out a hand and grabbed it. Slid a finger across the screen without looking. “Happy Birthday to you, Maya… I hope you have fun today.” The voice was low, but deep. Manly in every sense. The thumping of heart followed next. I sat up, pulled the sleep mask off at once like it shielded my sense of discernment. Only then did I take a glance at the screen. Digits spread across the screen. It was an unsaved number. I could have sworn I knew that voice. Eyelids batted endlessly as I stared at the screen. “Hello,” The voice continued. My chest thumped, my lips parted but no words came. Then the call went dead. Williams Banks! Why was he calling me? For a moment I thought it was Evelyn. Of course, my life had a particular routine, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing special. A warm smile crossed my face. The warm voice replayed in my mind even though I wasn't able to say past the first “Hello”. Someone had remembered
