CLAIMED BY HIS RIVAL FRIEND. CHAPTER 027: MAYA’S POV
The woman who stared back from the mirror, she looked nothing less than an artwork carved from the choicest of woods. A masterpiece. I almost didn't recognize myself, the new black dress sat on my body like water on cracked throat. It wasn't the very best, most expensive, designer type of wear, but with the way the material clung to every curve of mine, with the way the color highlighted my skin tone, I looked too gorgeous and I know it.I was loving this look a little bit too much, because this was the Maya Delaney that Gabriel took away from me. This was who I used to be before he slid that band of bondage onto my ring finger. The only thing that was a bit off was my eyes, they were so pale and hurting me too.We had stayed in Williams’ car till the early hours of the morning, parked by the entrance of the hospital. At some point, my head had dropped against the seat and I fell asleep. Williams never woke me. He just let me rest while he stayed awake, watching over me that when I

I stood in front of my bedroom door now, my hand gripping the cool metal doorknob lightly, waiting for the thundering voice that was yelling my name. Footsteps came fast down the hallway behind me. I spun halfway, Amila stood in front of me, her eyebrows pulled together in tight lines, her chest rising and falling quickly like she had been running. I knew that look. It was not any designer wear this time, this was about some mystery woman, my shoulders slumped. I wasn’t ready for this. It was as if having some peace in this house now required a special sort of sacrifice.She stepped a foot closer and shoved her phone straight into my face. The screen glowed bright with a photo. “Is this the reason you haven’t been able to touch me in days?” she asked, her voice sharp. “Answer me now, Gabriel?!”I looked at the picture. It was Claudia, my personal assistant, the same old one, the same one that couldn’t do without my cock, the same one that comes to my office bearing coffee with no

I sat in my study with the laptop open in front of me for hours, yet I had not been able to complete a single task. My hand lay on the mouse, the cursor stared back, mocking me. It had been days since Maya walked out of the mansion, and the quiet in the house felt heavier than before. I had waited, threatened, yet each day passed without a glimpse of her, not even a single call from her. In the four years I had known her, Maya had always been the perfect, submissive wife. She listened to everything I said, not once did she ask any questions. When I told her to stop working and stay home, I had thought she would revolt, but she pestered me a little at first, but it wasn’t anything that one loud yell from me wasn't enough to make her quiet down. I had yelled, telling her it was for her own good, for our own good. The doctor said she needed rest, enough of it as stress was the major suspect of her miscarriages. She had accepted that. She always accepted what I told her. But no

I stared at the phone, the call duration still ticked slowly. He had left the call running on purpose. He wanted me to hear more. I pressed the phone back to my ear.“Go to hell! That's where you belong!” I snarled. Then I slid my finger across the screen. My shoulders shook. My eyes hurt but maybe not as much as my heart, because that part of me wasn't just hurting, it was breaking into different unrecognizable pieces. Gabriel had done that on purpose. He's such an idiot to think he could smite me in such a manner. My hand grasped the tote bag roughly.Williams walked back in with the senior nurse, the one who walked like she was the nursing practitioner of the year with a clipboard in her hand, she still read some things to him, before finally disappearing through the door behind her.“Hey,” Williams said, walking up to me, “now you look… even worse…” he pulled me gently into his arms. How do I tell him that I was this way because I had just pulled off the phone with Gabriel? And

I paused right there in the doorway of my small office, my body halfway turned toward the hallway. Williams’ eyes shone softly in the warm glow of the desk lamp. They looked darker than usual, deeper, like they carried something heavy he wasn’t saying out loud.“Wait,” he said again, his voice low and steady. “Let me take you there.” His feet took a few steps toward me.His eyes pleaded even more, pulling at something inside my chest. I couldn’t believe he really wanted to do this. Was there ever a time anyone went out of their way for me like this? The thought felt too warm, too good to be real. Gabriel would never! He had a thousand and one reasons not to. It was always the board members this, or the stocks that. I turned my hand slightly and glanced at the watch on my wrist. The hands sat just a few minutes before ten.“It’s… It’s late, Williams. Don’t worry, I will manage.” I forced a smile onto my face, the kind I hoped would make him drop the idea already and let me go alone.

The slow hum of the AC was the only sound interrupting the heavy silence between us. The low light in the room casts soft glows on our faces. Williams leaned closer, his face stood an inch away from me each time he reached for a drawing. Then his eyes would light up in that subtle way. I could hear every tiny little sound, the scratch of his pen against paper, the movement of his fingers on the keyboard. The click of the mouse, and then I became too conscious of how loud my breathing was.He pointed at one of the modular sections I had redrawn. “This connection here is cleaner than what we had yesterday. Good catch,” then his lips parted softly. He was too handsome up close. I managed a smile while pulling my eyes away from him. I wouldn't let him catch me staring for too long like that rainy night in his car. My fingers resumed clumsily on the keyboard. Being this close to him, remembering the feel of his lips on mine, remembering the naughty words that ruined me even before his

I moved, to get on him, of course that was all I was used to, humping on Gabriel. But his thick hands pinned me down.“Don't rush,” he muttered lowly, his eyes had turned into something else, dim, dark, seductive blue. I watched as he moved, then he dropped to his knees before me, his hands restin

“Oh, my Lord!” I gasped. Eyes moistened at once. The phone in my hand was visibly shaking. I had no idea Evelyn stood by the door, watching.I tilted my head backward. Pain writhing my heart apart. Then footsteps clicked, I looked and it was Helen, she walked into the bedroom.“Don't tell me it's a

“What do you think you're doing being here?” I blurted. Words had fallen out of clenched teeth. “Are you trying to buy my mother over now?” I made sure to keep my voice low. The last thing I wanted was for my mother to hear Gabriel and me arguing. Of course, she would lecture me on how much I shou

“Wait, you're saying you spent an entire night with the hottest bachelor in this city,” Evelyn drawled. “I mean, Billionaire Williams Banks… Man who commands a conglomerate of businesses, and you're not over the roof?” I stood by the window, fists clenched around the curtains in my hand; the brigh
