After meeting with the lawyer Mason hired for me, Ruben was finally served with the divorce papers.

Ever since then, he had been blowing up my phone nonstop with calls and messages begging for another chance. Promising to change and become a better husband.

If someone who didn’t know our history read those messages, they would probably think we were just a normal couple going through a rough patch. A husband trying desperately to fix his marriage.

But Ruben and I had never been normal. And hone

  • Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir   CHAPTER 64

    Back home, I went straight to my room, showered, and lay on the bed staring at the ceiling.I was sad. The little hope I'd held for Mason and me got buried today. I wouldn't be foolish enough to test his mother, not after the way both Mason and Chase had warned me about her.Rich people's games were the last thing I wanted to get caught up in. Mason's father barely said a word all evening, but his disapproval came through just as clearly as Bryan's, only without the noise.The job was my way out. The faster I got on my feet, the faster I could find my own place and move out. Staying here, this close to Mason, only made it harder to bury what I felt for him.God, it was going to be hard.I loved him. Probably always would. But it seemed my love life had been doomed from the day it was written in the stars.A knock cut through my thoughts and my head snapped to the door.I shut my eyes and decided to play asleep, because it had to be Mason. Then my phone lit up with a message. Chase, te

    Dressed and ready, I stood in front of the mirror one last time.The plum dress Mason had chosen for me. Hair pinned, makeup done. I breathed slow and tried to settle the nerves. I was only meeting his parents. It wasn't as though I had to impress anyone. This was about Lior. What I should care about was them taking to him, accepting him.But if I was being honest, somewhere underneath, a part of me wanted them to like me too."You've got this," I muttered, and went to join Mason and Lior in the car."You look beautiful, Mommy," Lior said as I slid in next to him."So do you, my handsome little prince." He really did, in the black suit Mason had put him in."I'm the prince! And Daddy's the king, and you're the queen!"Mason, who'd been watching me since I got in without a word, reached over and rubbed Lior's hair. "That's right."The driver pulled off.When we slowed in front of his parents' house, my nerves tripled. The place was even bigger than Mason's, and Mason's was already huge

    "Don't ask me anything about Naomi." Chase held up a hand. "Take it to Mason.”"I wasn't planning to ask you."That surprised him. He shook it off fast and steered us off Naomi and onto the next thing."Be honest with me. Is there anything going on between you and this guy?""How many days have I known the man? What could possibly be going on?""I've slept with someone inside an hour of meeting them. Days don't mean anything.""Not everyone's you." I shook my head. "There's nothing between Nicholas and me but work. The only place anything more is happening is inside his head. Which is the whole reason you came running over here about a picture."Chase grinned. "You and Mason didn't give me the reaction I was hoping for. But that's alright." He glanced around. "Where's my nephew? I haven't heard his voice.""His nanny started today. He's with her."His face perked up. "Is she pretty?”"Don't you dare go there. Not a chance I'm letting you anywhere near Lior's nanny.""Only if I find he

    I rushed back to the living room and dropped onto the couch, pretending to be deep in the app, when Mason stormed past and went straight up to his office.My mind kept chewing on what Naomi said about the agreement. What it meant. What it had to do with Mason. I thought about calling Chase, asking what he knew about her, then stopped myself. None of it was my business.Still, it bothered me.The truth was I still had feelings for Mason. Those last few days in Chicago, before we moved, it had felt like something was shifting between us, like he might finally close the distance.I had my fingers crossed that he'd close the gap soon. But now Naomi had shown up, and from the look of things, there was already something there. So I decided to let the hope dim. To take myself out of the equation. Not that I was ever really in it.After Ruben, I swore one thing to myself. I would never be the reason another woman hurt. With all those women he brought home, I used to think, this already cuts,

    Nicholas wouldn't stop thanking me for coming with him on the drive back."That's the shortest lunch I've ever had with Audrey," he said, shaking his head like he couldn't believe his luck. "She stretches every meeting to the last second. Drains me dry. But she's a client, so I'll sit there and take it.""You know why she does it." I shot him a look. "She likes you. She's not exactly hiding it.""I know." He sighed. "But I don't mix with clients. It gets messy when it goes bad, and it always goes bad. The job suffers." He glanced at me. "So no. Whatever Audrey's hoping for, not happening.""Well, you're on your own next time," I told him. "I'm not sitting through another lunch with that woman. Deal with her yourself."He grinned, his eyes flicking to me. "Absolutely not. Whatever you did back there, I'm keeping it."When he pulled up to the house, he told me to use the weekend. Study the articles he'd sent, drill the app, all of it. "Monday we go straight in. No easing you in. You rea

    Nicholas texted that he was outside before I'd finished my coffee. I was at the table with Lior and Mason having breakfast.I stood and kissed the top of Lior's head. "Be good. Have the best day at school." I grabbed my bag."Where are you rushing to?" Mason asked."Nicholas is outside."He exhaled through his nose and looked back down at his coffee. I headed for the door, halfway through the kitchen doorway when he spoke again.“Mia.”I turned. "Yes?""The boots I got you. They're more durable than the ones you've got on. Wear those next time.""Okay. Thanks."Nicholas drove us into a part of town lush with green, trees leaning over the road, gardens spilling past their walls."It's beautiful out here.""Client's request." He took an easy turn. "She's moving down from Canada. Wanted a quiet neighborhood."We pulled up to the site, and the Nicholas I'd spent the drive laughing with was gone the minute he stepped out of the car.He moved through the skeleton of the house, rattling off
