When Mason texted to say his driver was outside, I asked him to tell him to knock so he could be inside before I came down with my things, just in case Ruben decided to act up.

I was already done packing.

The knock came, and Ruben went to open the door. By the time I started coming down with my bags, the driver was already stepping in.

Ruben frowned. “Who are you?”

“I’m here for Ms. Mia,” the driver replied. That was all the explanation he gave.

Ruben turned, ready to question him further, then

    Hannah bolted out of the office fast enough that I had to jog to catch her.She dropped into her chair like her legs had given out. "You could've screamed it a little louder. I don't think the whole floor heard you.""So you did sleep with him." I couldn't keep the grin off my face."Yes. Now tone it down."Her face wasn't matching mine at all. I pulled a chair over and sat close. "Tell me how it happened. I need every detail."She told me it was at Chase's house. They were both working late one night and ended up having a lot more alcohol than they could handle, and it just happened.Only for Chase to start apologizing in the morning like he'd committed a crime against her."Imagine sleeping with Mason," she said, "and waking up to him apologizing for it like it was the worst mistake of his life.""That would gut me.""Exactly." She wiped under her eyes even though she wasn't crying yet. "He kept saying he was drunk, that he was sorry, and it would never happen again. Begging me to f

    "You okay?" The delivery guy was still catching his own breath, looking at me like he wasn't sure I'd actually answer."Yeah." My voice came out steadier than I felt. "I'm fine. Thank you. Really. I don't know what would've happened if you hadn't pulled up when you did."He shrugged it off. "It's nothing. Anyone would've done the same." He glanced around the driveway once more before handing me the delivery bag."Let me tip you. Please." I already had my phone out."You don't have to do that.""But I want to. Please."He hesitated, then gave me his info reluctantly. I sent it before he could change his mind. His eyes went wide when the notification hit his phone."This is way too much.""You deserve way more than that," I told him. "After what you just did for me."He offered to stick around, said he didn't mind waiting if I wanted the police called right then. I told him I'd handle it, thanked him again, and watched him drive off.It wasn't until I got inside that the weight of what

  • Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir   CHAPTER 91

    I always thought those movies about rich families dragged through scandal were exaggerated. Turns out they were underselling it.Mason told me I was about to find out otherwise. Days after that dinner with Silas, things got as crazy as they could get.He invited the whole family to one of his father's properties. While we got ready to go, I tried to talk my way out of going, but he told me why not come see things for myself instead of him narrating when he got back. The human part of me that naturally would love to see how this went, won out.We arrived before everyone else did. Chase followed next. He asked if Hannah had told me anything, and when I gave him a confused look, he said I should forget he asked. I tucked it at the back of my mind, planning to have the conversation with Hannah, knowing something was definitely up.Bryan and their parents arrived together, and five minutes later Brenda and Silas arrived, Silas trailing behind her.The second she walked in, Mason's father's

    Bryan was the one who finally said something. Everyone had been staring at Mason, myself included, not one of us following his logic."Say that again." Bryan's jaw clenched. "Because I want to make sure I heard you right."That was when his mother finally noticed I was there. She turned that look on me, the one reserved just for me. "You have clearly cast a spell on him. Who even invited you? Get out!""Wrong person to yell at," Mason said calmly. "You're allowed to be furious. But channel it at Dad, not Mia. And she's here because we got interrupted by this."His father cut in before his mother could. "A lunatic is out there trying to mess up this family's name, and you want to make jokes.""I don't see any mess here. If you were with this woman, and she had a child for you, the decent thing is to do right by him.""I'm not his father.""Then you know what to do." Mason stood. "Though it'd be nice, having a big brother." He turned and faced his mother. "You should probably update Nao

    I was sitting on Mason's lap, replying to Jane's text, when his assistant's head peeked in to say his mother had arrived.Mason didn't even glance up from his screen. "Send her in."I tried getting up to go to the adjoining room, but he caught my wrist. "Stay.""Mason. She can't see me in here, that's the whole—""Relax, Mia."I did, because arguing with that voice had never once worked in my favor.She walked in a moment later, put together as always, a tender smile already arranged on her face, the smile of a mother coming to comfort her heartbroken son.That smile faltered the second her eyes landed on me."Mia." She stopped short in the doorway, like she'd walked into the wrong room. "You're... still here.”"I am."Her eyes cut to Mason. "What is going on?"He didn't answer. Instead he picked up his phone, tapped it once, and set it face up on the desk. Her voice filled the room through the speaker.It's simple. I'll send you a location to meet me at night. We stage cheating evide

    I tried to swallow it back down the instant it slipped out. I hadn't meant to say it out loud."Don't." Mason's voice was flat. "You know I heard you. And you remember what we promised each other. No lies. No secrets."I didn't have an option after that. I told him everything, every word of the conversation with his mother, and showed him the photo of the check I'd snapped with my phone.He lost it. I had never seen him this angry, not through any of the ordeal we'd passed through. He moved for the door, vibrating with rage.I got there first, blocking it with my body."Move," he said, low and dangerously calm."No. Not like this. Not tonight.""Mia—""I won't let you walk out of here in this state. Whatever you'd do right now, you'd regret it, and I'm not letting that happen.""Nothing I do could be worse than what she's already done." His jaw was tight enough to ache. "Trying to pay you off to leave me. That's as low as she gets. And she's going to get exactly what she asked for."I

    As I stared at Mason’s picture on the billboard, my mind drifted back to the first time we met. That summer in LA, I had taken a hotel cleaning job while visiting my Aunt Mel.I was pushing the cleaning cart after finishing my rounds, my hands hurting like hell, when the elevator dinged. He stepped

    I stood in front of my parents’ door, my hand hovering in the air.This was the last place I ever wanted to come back to. The last time I stood here, my father had made it very clear I was no longer his daughter.I drew in a slow breath and knocked, hoping it would be Nina who answered. If my fathe

Mrs. Betty never called me this late unless something was wrong with Lior.I glanced around. The ballroom was nearly empty now, jus

    “Mason… how did you even find—”The words barely left my mouth before he took my hand and led me straight to his car parked outside.“Mason…”“Get in.”The way he said it shut everything down. Whatever I wanted to ask stayed stuck in my throat.I got into the back seat. He slid in beside me, the do
