LOST IN THE BILLIONAIRE'S SCANDAL Chapter 59
Maya's PovSleep did not come easily and when it did, it was heavy, restless, and loaded with unease, like I had swallowed something bitter that decided to ignore it. My body was exhausted, but my mind wouldn’t keep quiet. Images of the day flashed in and out, the park, the laughter of my children, the way I pretended to be fine when inside I was crashing and the anticipation of Adam’s action was slowly driving me crazy.Somewhen along the line, my eyes finally closed against my will and the darkness pulled me in.At first, all I saw was just a shadow. A presence,someone was following me. The image got closer so I broke into a run even though I had no idea where I was heading or why I was being followed. My legs pounded against the ground and my lungs burned as if I had been sprinting for miles, and yet I knew without doubt that I couldn’t stop now because the person was closing up on me.His steps were deliberate, slower than mine, but heavy and confident, like he was never in a hurr

Maya's PovMy fingers curled against my sides, nails digging into my palms. My voice stuck in my throat, caught somewhere between a greeting and a warning.He was looking at me like I was a ghost and for what seemed like forever, neither of us moved.The hum of the ice cream freezer filled the gap between us. It was a low, mechanical sound that suddenly seemed far too loud. My knees felt weak, but I forced myself to stay standing, to not give him the satisfaction of seeing me falter.His eyes were the same. That piercing shade that had once made my stomach flip now cut through me like glass. Time had carved faint lines around them, but it hadn’t dulled their intensity or spark.“Maya.” He called out. Just my name on his lips landed like a stone in my chest. I swallowed hard, my fingers tightening around the strap of my bag. “Wha.. what are you doing here?” I stammered. The words came out quieter than I intended, almost lost under the whir of the freezer.He stepped back slightly, as i

Maya's PovThe night felt endless. I lay in bed with my phone resting on my chest, the glow of the screen shining faint light on the ceiling every time a notification came in. I kept telling myself to be reasonable. Those comments will keep coming, it came with the fame. But it was so hard to keep my mind off all of it. Every tick of the clock on my nightstand seemed sharper, like tiny taps against my skull and before I knew jr midnight passed. I turned to my side, then onto my back, hugging the pillow close. The sheets were cool, but my mind burned with restless thoughts.Is he thinking about me right now? Is he regretting what happened at the airport? If we had kept our damn tongues in our mouths we wouldn't be here now. My lips still tingled from the way he had kissed me. It was full, deliberate, lingering… almost as if he had wanted to leave me with something to hold on to. It had felt like a claim, not a goodbye, but now I wondered if I had read too much meaning into it.My pho

Adam’s POVImmediately I ended the call, my fingers curled around the phone so tightly that the plastic dug into my palm. My jaw was locked, my teeth pressed together until my temples throbbed.Her voice was still in my head, quiet, hesitant, stripped of its usual fire.Lena came. She threatened me.It didn’t sound real at first. But the more I replayed it in my mind, the more the words solidified, like cement setting hard inside my skull. The air in the study felt heavier. The kind of heaviness you notice in your chest before you notice in the room. I took in a breath and it felt shallow and unsatisfying. My thoughts weren’t behaving, they weren’t neat lines I could follow. They were jagged and fast, crashing into one another like debris in a storm. I had so many option but I had to choose one. I felt multiple emotions too. The first one to cut through was anger. Hot and sharp. It lit up my nerves until the tips of my fingers prickled. I had told Lena… told her, more than once to s

Maya's POVThe silence in the house swirled around me until I could hear my own breathing echoing back at me. It wasn't the calm, peaceful kind of silence. It was the heavy kind that wrapped itself around you like a thick blanket, weighing down every part of you. It was too heavy, too noticeable. I leaned against the couch, knees together, elbows on them. The television was still playing from earlier though I had silenced the volume. The wall was cold, and the images continued playing silently, as if they were from another world entirely.My fingers kept on twisting the edge of the blanket thrown over the arm rest. I rolled it around and around until the fabric began to press into my skin, then I let go anf repeated the process again. I tightened my hold on myself, not wanting to think, yet my mind kept on pulling me back to the same place.Lena's voice. Her frosty, piercing eyes. The manner in which her lips curled when she said something she knew would sting like a blow. I had pla

Maya's PovThe tires rolled onto the driveway with a soft sound, the gravel protesting beneath them as I pulled up in front of the house. The porch light was shining, casting warm yellow glows. I turned off the car and let the silence settle over me before I returned inside. My hands were resting on the steering wheel, but my mind was far from here.I could still feel Adam's lips on mine at the airport, still hear the way his voice dropped when he whispered “Take care of them.” It played like a song on repeat in my head.Taking a deep breath, I stepped out of the car. The air felt different now. I felt lonely even with the quiet beauty of twilight settling around the house. The reality of the absence of his presence made everything feel different. As I approached the front door, my phone buzzed again for what must’ve been the tenth time. I wasn't interested from the begining but the frequency was slowly becoming alarming. I slipped it out from my pocket and took a look at the notif
