MAE"My day couldn't get any worse," I sigh stepping into the cell to find Lily sitting on the bench by the wall. I stare at the officer ushering me in, he doesn't say a word but it feels like this is another setup yet again. Ain't they supposed to separate us? Hours back, I tried my best to convince Daniella, the officer interrogating me, that I was innocent, but she provided me with text messages between me and Lily, which was fabricated no doubt.It wasn't my phone number.But she didn't believe me, or maybe she was also part of this scheme. She intended to make sure I didn't step out of the station, she said I was a suspect and would remain in police custody until otherwise.The officer removes the cuffs from my hand and closes the cell, leaving me alone with Lily in the cell. I look around the cell and I am not surprised when I find a camera on the wall.I walk past Lily and go to sit on the floor. She looks at me with big, worried eyes. She hasn't said anything since I entere
MAE"You are free to go," Daniella announces, she opens the cell door and gestures for me to step out immediately.I don't know if I should be relieved or worried, that this isn't over completely. I head for the door and Lily gets on her feet as well following behind but Daniella raises her hand in the air to stop her. "Not you, Miss Lily. Only your sister," Daniella said."Wait, that can't be possible," Lily mutters sniffing in and cleaning the tears from her eyes. "You said -""I never said anything Miss Lily," Daniella cut her off, and from the look in her eyes. It seems they have some sort of agreement, but that's the least of my concerns right now. "Miss Mae, please step outside," Daniella said. I nod, still trying to process everything that's happened. Sin's eyes lock onto mine, and I can see the concern and anger simmering beneath the surface. As I reach the door of the cell, I feel Lily's hand on my arm, she holds on so tight stopping me on my track. "Please Mae, don't lea
MAERyder gets out of the car immediately and opens the door for me, he bows slightly as I step out of the car. A puzzled look still plastered on my face, are we leaving town? Sin steps out of the car and joins me, he places his hand in mine, a reassuring look in his eyes. "I had Victoria move your clothes into the yacht.""Where are we going exactly Sin? And how long will we be gone?" "It's a surprise," Sin replies briefly. "Trust me, Mae," he adds seeing the reluctance in my eyes to head towards the yacht clearly waiting for us. I nod, feeling a sense of uncertainty. I don't like surprises, especially when my life is already in chaos.As we approach the yacht and step in, Sin guides me placing his hand on the small of my back. "Hello, Mr. Hayes. Lovely to have you on my yacht," A young lady says joining us from inside the yacht."Is everything ready? We are leaving immediately," Sin asks her. "Yes, everything is ready for your arrival, if you require anything I can have it arra
MAEI turn on the water and run it over my face, then my mouth, rinsing off any residue of what I just vomited. Ryder remains by my side still holding my hair up. "Maybe you should sit down," Ryder suggests, his voice soft and gentle. "I am so sorry," I apologize. I don't know what just happened, perhaps because I haven't eaten all day."You don't need to apologize," he says. He lets go of my hair, giving me a moment to get myself before he guides me back into the room and to the edge of the bed.I sit down, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over me, "Thank you," I mutter placing my hand on my forehead."Does it hurt?" Ryder asks, he bends down examining my forehead. "Let me get you a glass of water."Ryder walks to the table and picks up a jug containing water that I didn't notice was there earlier, he quickly pours the water into the empty glass next to it."Here you go Miss," Ryder says handing it to me. "Thank you," I take a sip from the glass and then another. I feel the knot i
MAE A nervous chuckle escapes my lips, "Y-You are joking right?" I say smiling. "I don't think any of my patients will enjoy me joking about something like this," he replies. "I will make some recommendations to the chef, you need to watch what you eat and not get -" "You are serious?!" I exclaim, my voice shaking. No, this can't be possible. I can't be pregnant, not now, not for Sin, this...this is a mess. "I am, it seems you weren't aware. This is normal, I can reassure you, your baby is -" "How do I get rid of it?" I blurt out, before even thinking it through in my head. The doctor's expression turns from serious to shocked, "I, uh, I think you need to take a step back and consider the consequences of your actions, miss. This is a baby we're talking about, a human life. It's not something you can just 'get rid of' like it's a problem to be solved." I feel a wave of panic wash over me, my mind racing with thoughts of Sin and our agreement. This relationship started based o
MAE"You are hurting me Sin," I cried out, but his grip only tightens around my arm."Not as much as you are," he admits. "What were you thinking?" I don't even know is all I can think of, as I stare at him waiting patiently for my answer, "I panicked, okay? Everything has just been so overwhelming, I panicked," I say, and I finally feel his grip loosening on my hand. His gaze shifts from anger to confusion and anger again. He takes a step back running his fingers through his hair trying to calm his nerves. "All you had to do was let me know, you didn't have to go ahead and make a decision without even thinking about what I had to say in the matter. This is our child, Mae. You are carrying my child," he yells, his voice laced with anger. "So, what was the plan? Get rid of the child and never tell me, and then what? Continue to pretend like it never happened," He continues.I shake my head as tears begin to stream down my face, "I wasn't thinking, Sin. I was scared and overwhelmed.
MAESin grabs my plate and begins to check through the food on the table. He fills my plate and all I can do is watch him, my mind still trying to process how well he is handling the situation and the fact that he just confessed his love for me. "There," he says handing me my plate."What is this?" I chuckle staring at a plate of salad and a fist-sized portion of the other food by the side of the plate. "I am pregnant, not diabetic," I laugh.Sin chuckles, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I know, I just want to make sure you're eating healthy from henceforth. For you and the baby," he adds, his voice softening.I nod grabbing my fork, I don't need to look at Sin to know his eyes are currently on me watching my every move closely. I take a bite of the salad, the fresh flavors exploding in my mouth. "How is it? Is it to your liking?" I nod, "It's delicious, thank you," I say, smiling up at him.Sin smiles back, his eyes warm and gentle. "Good, if there is anything you don't like o
MAESin's eyes light up with surprise and delight as I kiss him. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me close as he deepens the kiss. I feel a rush of happiness and excitement as he places his hand over my waist pulling me to sit on his lap. As we pull away from the kiss, Sin smiles at me, his eyes shining with love and adoration. "I'm so glad you're mine, Mae," he says, his voice low and husky."I'm glad I'm yours too," I reply, my heart full of joy and gratitude. I can only imagine the lengths he must have gone to, to help me get all of these. Sin stares at me with a mischievous grin. He places his hand on my stomach, "So, what have you decided on?" he asks, his eyes sparkling with excitement.I raise an eyebrow, curious. "It's been barely an hour, I thought I had a day or two to think about it?" I ask smiling. "I have a feeling you have decided already.""Maybe, maybe not," I smile. "So, what is it?" He asks, anxious to know my reply. I remain silent, pretending to think abou
