Se connecterFor Maya Bennett, a one-night stand was supposed to be just that—one night. But when she walks into her mother’s house and finds the man from that unforgettable night standing there as her mother’s new boyfriend, her world tilts on its axis. Daniel Hayes is everything Maya swore to avoid—powerful, devastatingly handsome, and emotionally unavailable. But the sparks that ignited between them can’t be extinguished, no matter how wrong it feels. At first, they promise to leave what happened between them in the past in order not to hurt Helen, but then when the small marketing firm Maya works for is acquired by Daniel’s company she is sent over to the executive department as part of the transitioning team. Things start to get heated and they eventually start to cave into their desires. Can love survive when it was never meant to exist? Or will it destroy everything in its wake?

His hands lingered around me longer than they should have. “Move Maya” my subconscious said, but I still didn’t.“You drive me insane Maya.” Daniel whispered in a dangerous tone. Our bodies fine-tuned together, I could see him eyeing my lips like he had been starving. He pushed a strand of her behind my ear, making my skin melt. I wanted him badly, and from his body language, I knew he wanted me as well. Our lips became inches away, and finally, I got back to my senses.“This isn’t right, I’m not doing this with you.” I swiftly got up, wrapping the towel around my body and grabbing my phone. Thank goodness the phone didn’t crack. “We can’t run from our feelings forever Maya, sooner or later you have to given in.” I ignored him, I took a pair of my pajamas and changed in the bathroom.Once, I exited the bedroom. I saw Daniel
Maya’s Pov“I most definitely won’t share a room with you. You have no right to dismiss my opinion or command me.” I responded “I would not allow you to stay with strangers.” Daniel barked. “How is Lilian a stranger?” I argued back.“If you go with Lilian she’s fired.” He spat his voice venomous.I scoffed, he sounded pathetic and childish, one minute he’s loving and caring the next he’s an unbearable asshole.He won, and I gave in, not wanting to leave Lilian without a job.We made our way to the elevator, the air inside was thick, the silence so loud you could hear a pin drop.The elevator came to a stop, I exited faster than the speed of light, I didn’t want to breathe the same air with Daniel.As I stormed out of the elevator, Daniel was behind me. His steps are elegant and majestic. We reached the room, and he swiped the card, opening the door for me. The room wasn’t bad. It had a king-sized bed and a couch, and the couch looked comfortable. I’ll look for another hotel online.
Maya’s Pov“We?” “Why do I have to go with you?” Daniel was about to respond before getting cut off by mum.“Maya, he's your boss. Watch your tone.” She fumed. “It's fine, Helen.” Daniel stepped in.“Maya, you're good at what you do. There is no one else I'd rather have coming on this trip with me.” He smiled, trying to convince me.I mean, I don't have a choice. Mum was right he's my boss, and I wouldn't want to be disrespectful just because he was with mum. That doesn't mean I'll act out.“How long is the trip for?” I inquired. “I don't have an answer yet. If things go well, we should be done in two weeks or even a week.” He responded.“Alright, then.” I responded. “I'll see you on Monday.” I planted a kiss on my mum's cheek. “I know you'll miss me, Bye.” I said before walking out.This was rushed, I wasn't a fan of packing, and travelling also made me nauseous. The Uber dropped me in front of my house, and immediately, I got in. I brought out my box.Time to start packing, I mu
Maya’s PovThe weekend, Finally a break for work and more time to myself. Gosh it's been a while since I had spoken or seen my mum.I pulled out my phone dialing her number.The phone rang out. “Look who finally remembered they had a mother.” Mum said, sounding disappointed.“I'm sorry, I know I should have at least called, but I've been busy with work and trying to settle in.” I explained.“You should always create time for family Maya, when will I see you?” Mum inquired.“I'll, droo-” A voice I knew so well stopped me in my tracks. “Honey, you're out of milk.” Daniel's voice echoed in the background.“Oh, I forgot to restock, I'll pick up some later.” Mum responded.“Maya, back to you, You said something about dropping by?”“Y…Yeah.” I stammered. “Not today though, probably next week.” I replied.“Nonsense, Come over today, I know you're not doing anything” She pushed.“Mum, you are with Daniel, you guys should have fun, I wouldn't want to intrude.” I tried convincing her, but it
