Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 22
Ruben’s leg slammed against the door until it gave way and crashed to the floor. He stormed in, demanding my phone. I refused, clutching it tightly.He lunged for it, trying to take it by force, and I bit down hard on his hand.He swore, anger flashing across his face as he raised his hand to slap me, but I was quicker. My knee drove straight into him, and he doubled over with a sharp grunt, crouching in pain.All my focus was on him, so I didn’t see Nina coming. The vase hit my back before I could react.Pain shot through me as I fell, my palm scraping against the floor. She snatched my phone from my hand in one swift move.Before I could get up, Ruben, still swearing, landed a slap across my face so hard it rang in my ears.“You’ll learn,” he spat. “I’ll deal with you until you come back to your senses. You’ll beg for what you did. No food. No water.”Nina stepped in immediately. “Let’s lock her in the store downstairs.”She grabbed my hair, yanking me up, and together they dragged
Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 21
I woke up late.It took forever before sleep finally came, and even then it was almost morning. I’d spent most of the night going over the way Mason pulled back.Glad there was no work for me today. I got dressed and headed downstairs, Lior’s voice already filling the kitchen, bright and full of life.I walked in to find him and Mason already seated, both dressed, breakfast laid out in front of them. With Lior there, we didn’t have to get into the awkward conversation about last night.“Good morning, Mama!” Lior greeted me.“Good morning,” I replied, walking over. “Did you sleep well?”“I did.”I nodded, then looked at Mason. “You’re going out?”“Yeah. Just me and him today.”“Okay.”“I’ll be careful,” he added.“I know.”He gestured to the table. “Fix yourself a plate.”Breakfast was light because of Lior. He talked, nonstop, dragging Mason into stories about planets and things he’d “discovered.” Mason played along, asking questions, keeping him going.I kept quiet, only speaking whe
Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 20
When we got to Mason’s house, the same woman who had opened the door the first day I came was in the kitchen, setting down a cup of coffee. Mason thanked her, and she disappeared right after.He picked up the cup and handed it to me, the heat seeping through my fingers. “Drink it. Then go take a hot shower. It’ll help.”He glanced around the kitchen, said nothing else, then walked away.I let out a quiet breath as he left, watching the set of his shoulders until he turned the corner. Something in my chest pulled tight. He hadn’t really looked at me since we got in, and the distance felt intentional.I cradled the cup and took a careful sip. Heat spread through my hands, then my throat. My mind went back to the drive, the way his hands gripped the wheel tight, his jaw set the whole time.He was upset.I just didn’t know if it was about me.I finished the rest, set the cup down, and headed upstairs.The shower helped, just like he said it would. The heat took the edge off the cold still

I stepped outside and froze. All four of my tires were flat.I didn’t need anyone to tell me who did it. Ruben wasn’t the type to hide his cruelty. When he wanted to hurt you, he did it openly, looking you in the eye while doing it. This was Lily. The kind of petty damage she’d leave for you to discover on your own.I let out a slow breath, the frustration sitting low in my chest. If this had happened while Lior was still sick, I would have lost it. I knew what it had taken for me to get this car.I got it for emergencies, because depending on Ruben wasn’t an option. Now that Lior was okay, I pushed it aside and took the bus to work, leaving it for later.A few coworkers greeted me as I walked in, and I returned their greetings with a small nod. Jane wasn’t in today, but she had already told me about the new supervisor replacing Mr. Mac.I knocked lightly on her door and waited. “Come in,” she called.I stepped inside.She smiled at me, and I didn’t move right away, not used to it, be
Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 18
Lily’s voice, reporting me to her mother with lies about how I had “physically assaulted her,” was the last thing I heard before I shut my door.I unpacked, changed, and went straight to bed, lying on my back and staring at the ceiling, hoping for a bit of quiet. It didn’t last. The sounds started not long after, low moans and rough grunts carrying through the walls, and I turned my head, already knowing what it was.Ruben’s room wasn’t even close to mine, which meant they were doing it somewhere I could hear on purpose, and all it earned from me was a small laugh, because if they thought that was going to get a reaction out of me, they were wasting their time.Nina’s voice got louder, drawn out and exaggerated, and I couldn’t even tell if she was enjoying herself, in pain, or just performing.Either way, it didn’t matter. Lior was okay now, and I could finally focus on getting out, saving up for a divorce lawyer and ending this.My phone dinged, Mason’s name popped up on the screen.
Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 17
Over the next few days, Lior was finally cleared to go.Mason drove us to his house. I sat in the passenger seat, stealing quiet glances at Lior in the back. He looked smaller somehow, still a little weak, but there was light in his eyes again. I focused on that.Mason’s house came into view, and even before we stepped inside, I knew nothing about Lior’s life was going to remain the same.The moment we walked into his room, Lior froze. His eyes widened slowly, taking everything in like he didn’t trust it was real.He turned to Mason. “Dad… is this really my room?”Mason nodded. “Yeah. It’s yours.”“I get to sleep here?”There was something in his voice that made my chest tighten.“Yes,” Mason said calmly. “Do you like it?”Lior nodded quickly. “I do. It’s… it’s amazing.”He climbed onto the bed like he was afraid it might disappear if he didn’t touch it.I stood there watching him, the excitement all over his face, and I couldn’t even blame him, because back at Ruben’s house we shared
