Morning came too early.

I walked into the dining room, lighter than I had been in weeks. There was a strange feeling of peace carried over from the night before's conversation. Maybe things were shifting. Maybe Adam and I had finally reached some understanding.

But that feeling was fleeting. I sensed something change when he walked into the room.

He sat at the head of the table, and started to make his coffee, but when our eyes met, I knew something was amiss.

The coals from last night had died. His eyes were cold, the walls were up and higher than ever before.

"Good morning," I tried, feeling my way.

He didn't glance up. "Morning."

There was something in his tone that sent shivers down my spine.

I pulled out a chair, watching him. "Did you sleep all right?"

He finally looked at me, though his eyes were unreadable. "Maya, about last night."

My muscles tightened.

He set down his cup, his expression unemotional. "Thanks for being there and helping me out but don't turn it into something

    Chapter 100Maya’s PovLee picked at her food at dinner, chewing slowly. She ate two bites and then pushed her plate away.“My tummy hurts,” she said.“You need to eat a little more,” Adam said, his tone even but distant.She sighed but obeyed, lifting her fork again. Halfway through another bite, she paused, her eyebrows knitting together.“Mama?”“Yes, sweetheart.”Her voice dropped, suddenly quieter. “When Sami was talking before court… he said something.”My heart slowed, then began to pound again. I kept my voice gentle. “What did he say?”She fiddled with the edge of her plate. “He said if he didn’t listen, he would go away forever.”The air in the room shifted and Adam’s fork stilled mid-movement. I did not speak immediately. I did not want her to sense the change. “What do you mean, listen to who?”Lee shrugged, eyes still on her food. “He didn’t say. He just kept saying he had to be good or he would go away.”My fingers curled slowly into my palm beneath the table. Adam lifte

    Maya’s PovMy vision blurred instantly, tears burning my eyes. I swallowed hard, forcing myself to remain still as the room seemed to tilt around me. Adam’s jaw tightened so sharply I feared it might crack. What has gone wrong? This boy was practically always with me, he loved me, he even defended me. What could have changed his mind? I felt betrayed and broken but in the end, the child chose family. I was just a nobody, a stranger. Lara’s lawyer rose immediately and with a smooth and confident voice spoke of the instability, stress, and emotional risk that would come with staying with me. “The child had improved greatly but since the hearing began, he has shown visible signs of fear around Ms. Maya, avoiding her gaze like a plague,” she said. “He is withdrawn and quiet. Children speak in more than words, "Your Honour.”I stared straight ahead, heartbeat pounding in my ears. Adam stiffened beside me.“The father has made his position clear,” the lawyer continued. “He has no inten

    CHAPTER 98Maya’s POVSunday came quite fast and we had to return to base. I had had so much fun and honestly, I didn't want to leave. But thankfully, this place was Adam's and we could come back whenever. For now, we had to face real life. The air around the villa felt warm and normally, it soothed my nerves but tonight, it did not land the same way. Something sat too tightly in my chest, an unease I could not shake no matter how many times I tried to reason it away.……..We arrived at our house at early evening and I went straight into making dinner. We were just rounding up dinner when I noticed what was really wrong. Sami was unusually quiet and less clingy. This was not a post-play silence that came after a long day in the sun or the pensive kind either. This was different. He barely touched his food, pushing the pasta around his plate with slow, distracted movements and every few seconds, his eyes lifted towards me and then flicked away too fast, as if he had been caught doin

    Aria's PovI didn't need to say more. He pushed in with one slow, relentless thrust and the stretch stole every ounce of air from my lungs. I clutched his shoulders and my head fell back against the pillow. He stilled when he was fully inside me, forehead pressed to mine, both of us shaking.“Fuck,” he breathed. “You feel…”He didn’t finish. He just started moving and I forgot how to think. It was fast and hard and perfect. The bedframe knocked the wall with every thrust and I didn’t care who heard. I wrapped my legs higher around his waist and met him stroke for stroke, chasing the heat that was already coiling tight and bright low in my belly. His hand slid under my hips, tilting me so he went deeper and I cried out his name.“That’s it,” he growled against my ear. “Let me hear you.”I did. I couldn’t have stopped if I tried. Every sound he dragged out of me felt like something I’d been holding in for years and when the orgasm hit it was sudden and blinding. I arched off the bed, cl

    Maya’s Pov“Relax, Maya,” Adam murmured in my ear. My body listened before my mind did and my shoulders softened. Then his hands drifted lower. Just enough to brush the curve between my back and my waist. His palm pressed lightly over my lower back and my breath broke.A soft moan accidentally escaped and aside the ocean that kept moving, everything else stopped.His hands remained exactly where they were on my lower back, warm against my skin but it seemed like he did not breathe for a second. And neither did I. Heat rushed through my entire body and my eyes closed in embarrassment.Slowly he turned around me until he sat facing me. Close enough that our knees almost touched. He reached up and gently lifted my chin with two fingers and my lips parted helplessly. I bit down lightly on them, flustered and unable to hide it.His voice came low and roughened. “Is it that good?”I swallowed hard but no words came out. I only held his stare. My chest rose and fell with uneven breaths and

    Maya’s PovThe moment he touched me, everything paused.The ocean, the wind… even my breath. He stepped closer, holding my wrist gently and his chest rose and fell with steady breaths and the warmth of his body radiated toward me. My heart hammered against my ribs so hard I was sure he could hear it.His fingers slid from my wrist to my hand. He held it softly, his touch warm and certain. I felt it all the way through me.For a moment, I thought he would kiss me and I genuinely wanted him to. I wanted him to more than I was ready to admit. Slowly, he leaned in a little and his gaze dropped to my lips. His nose bruised the tip of mine and …“Mummy look what I found.”Lee’s voice shattered the moment. Adam dropped his hand slowly, but his gaze stayed on mine. The tension lingered, thick and warm, stretching between us even when the moment had been interrupted.We helped the kids gather shells and made our way back to the villa. They were tired and sandy, and after a warm shower, they fe
