Maybelline Walter POV 'Are you in love with Miles?' Those words replayed in my head for the umpteenth time as I sat on the edge of my bed. Those words had been living rent-free in my head all day, and all efforts to stop thinking about it had proven abortive."He is not your style, May. Lily is just being crazy," I reminded myself before I left for the bathroom to shower and go downstairs for dinner.After I was done bathing and changing into something convenient, I went to the dining room."Miles is not back yet?" I asked Adelie when I got to the dining room."Good evening, ma'am. No, Mr. Miles is not back yet," She replied to me, and I slowly nodded as I took a seat at the dining table."Where is he?" I mumbled, a bit worried about him. He hasn't been home after he left earlier, so it was fine for me to be worried about him, yeah?"Are you ok, ma'am?" Adelie's voice pulled me out of my deep thoughts, and I nodded as I looked at her."Hmm. I'm fine," I forced a smile at her. Further
Maybelline Walter POV"May... Can we talk, please?" Miles knocked on the door for the second time, but I remained silent. No way I was going to open the door for him after everything he had done to me.I heard him sigh."I'm sorry about yesterday... I didn't know you were going to wait up for me. I didn't mean to hurt you. Something came up and I had to stay back and handle it. I'm really sorry," He spoke from outside, but I just rolled my eyes."Go away, Miles. I don't need your explanation," "I'm sorry, wife... I would never do something to hurt you. Can you please open the door?" He pleaded again, and this time, I finally stood up from the floor and pulled the door open."You are crying?" He raised one of his eyebrows surprisingly, but I quickly wiped my tears and turned my face away embarrassingly."I wasn't crying," I mumbled."I'm sorry, okay?" He cupped my cheek in his palm and stared into my eyes. His eyes were so charming and sexy that I could only wish to stare for long if
Maybelline Walter POV"Grrrrr! Grrrrr!" Came the blaring sound of my alarm that jolted me out of my deep sleep, and I tossed on the bed tiredly. I was so tired that I wanted nothing at that moment more than to stay glued to the bed all day and sleep my ass off, but I had to get off the bed and make breakfast since Adelie was gone for a while.It was supposed to be a beautiful Monday morning, but nothing felt beautiful. Not when I had to wake up so early.I couldn't help the smile that laced up my lips as I rubbed my hand on my stomach after I sat up on the bed. "Good morning morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep well?" I whispered to the little one as I smiled heartily before I left the bed to go to the bathroom.It was past 6am by the time I was done with everything, so I left for the kitchen to make breakfast.However, the aroma that welcomed me as I arrived at the living room had me asking myself who could be in the kitchen. Giving in to my curiosity, I went into the kitchen, and ala
Miles glanced at May for the umpteenth time, unable to concentrate on work no matter how much he tried to. Having this woman around him had become a therapy he never knew he needed all these years. She was everything cute, his peace of mind lies in her. She was everything he ever wanted in a woman."Am I just going to sit here and do nothing?" May asked, pulling him back to reality, and he turned his face away."Yes. You can take a walk around if you become bored," He replied to her, and she briefly sighed. This was no different from staying in that boring house all day."You don't have any files you want to sort out?" She asked as she stood from the sofa where she was seated, and went to sit on the chair across from him."I can help with that," She further said."No, I don't. If you are bored, you can take a walk around the company," He replied to her, and she nodded. Silence crept into the atmosphere and Miles was busy working that he didn't spare her a glance. He was doing his bes
Maybelline Walter POV I glared hard at Miles and scoffed silently for the umpteenth time. How could he act like nothing happened? "I shouldn't have come here in the first place," I mumbled and rolled my eyes sarcastically. He was so engrossed in his computer like it meant the whole world to him. Wait! Miles really prioritized his work over every other thing, so it meant the whole world to him, apparently."Are you ok?" He asked when he looked in my direction and our eyes met."I'm fine," I replied to him bluntly and turned my face away, and I heard him sigh."Is it about what happened earlier?" He asked as he turned his full attention to me this time."What? That? No... I'm fine," I tried to be fine even though my tone was evidence that I was not fine."Hmm," I had expected him to try to convince me to talk to him, but I was disappointed when he just nodded his head and turned back to what he was doing."You really expect too much from this guy. He is not that nice person. He is not
Lily was so impressed with the lady staring right back at her from the mirror. It was her reflection."I think this is perfect," She muttered as she smacked her lips together after she applied lip gloss. It wasn't her first day resuming work at the hospital, but Miguel was around now and she couldn't afford to look like a mess when going to see her."One more thing," She muttered when she recalled she hadn't worn her perfume yet. Just as she reached for her perfume, her phone started ringing, so she went for her phone first. It was one of her colleagues calling her."Why the disturb this early morning?" She rolled her eyes after she answered the call."Lily, there is an emergency at the hospital. You need to hurry down here to assist Doctor Miguel," Came her colleague's masculine voice."Alright. I'll be there shortly," The call disconnected afterward. Lily didn't have time to spray her perfume again because the life of the patient at the hospital was more important than any other thi
Maybelline Walter POVMy phone rang and when I checked the caller, I realized it was my sweetheart. "Hey, babe. I'll be there with you shortly," I said to Lily on the phone, but her scoff greeted me instead."Don't keep me waiting," She said coldly and the call disconnected immediately.Just one last glance at my reflection in the mirror was all I needed before I left my room and headed outside to meet her. She was leaning against her white jeep outside the gate with a deep frown on her face."What's with that frown? Are you not happy to be here?" I teased her, and she scoffed."You of all people should know that I'm not happy to be here. For goodness sake, why are you married and yet not allowing me to find a man for myself?" She rolled her eyes as she pulled the car door open."Point of correction, I'm not married for real. We are contracted couples," I argued with her."Don't forget you are carrying his child," She reminded me as I hopped inside the car, and I scoffed sarcasticall
Maybelline Walter POV"Liam!" I called surprisingly after I straightened my back and took a step away from him."May?" He called again with a shocked expression on his face. I guess he was as shocked as I was. Liam and I were classmates back in college. We were not just regular classmates, but quite close that you could call us friends. I had a secret crush on him. I mean, who wouldn't crush on the most handsome dude in the whole college?During our third year in college, Liam won an award in school as the most handsome and neatly dressed dude in school. You can imagine the amount of hate and love it must've brought him then, yeah? His handsome face and sharp brain was the only thing he needed to attract ladies to himself and of course, I was not an exemption then, but I had to hold back because he was in a relationship then. We haven't seen each other since graduation from college, and, shockingly, we bumped into each other here."Wow! This is..." He paused and scanned me with his ey
