Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 123
After Benedicta left, Jane asked if she was really my grandmother, and unfortunately, I confirmed it.I told her everything, including the role Benedicta had played in driving my mother away. Jane said if she'd known all that beforehand, she would've gladly wasted the glass of water on her.We left shortly after. I dropped Jane off at home because she had a date with Lior. Don't ask me what their date was about. Those two had been on the same wavelength for ages, so I didn't even bother asking.From there, I drove straight to Dad's house, only to find his car parked near the estate gate alongside another one. As I got closer, I recognized the woman standing with him.Benedicta.Dad was visibly furious, and I could hear him shouting at her before I'd even fully parked. When he noticed me, his expression softened briefly before he turned back to her.“Get in your car and get the hell off my property. And the next time you pull a stunt like this, don't expect me to remember you're the wo
Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 122
Looking closely at her, I could see the resemblance to my father, unmistakable in the shape of her eyes and the set of her jaw.The nerve of this woman to stand in front of me and introduce herself as my grandmother after what she'd done to my mother.I knew almost nothing about her, and I probably should've heard what she had to say. But I didn't want to. What could she possibly tell me that would change the fact that she'd driven my mother away while she was pregnant with me?Even her own son wanted nothing to do with her. The few times I'd asked Dad about his parents, he'd said they were dead to him.I didn't even know how she'd managed to get into the party.I put on my most distant smile. “I'm sorry, but you must have the wrong person. My mother was an orphan, and my father has never mentioned me having grandparents. If you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my party.”I took a few steps before her hand closed around my wrist.“I know I'm probably the last person you want to see
Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 121
Bryan said he'd only told her that as a joke, one he'd expected her to catch, since the drivers she knew certainly couldn't afford something like this.He stretched out his wrist so she could see the watch.Jane snapped out of her shock, and it looked like she still had plenty left to say to him, but she held it back with Mason standing right there. Bryan, of course, couldn't resist taunting her, asking if she'd suddenly gone dumb.I grabbed Jane's hand and pulled her toward the stairs so we could catch up. Mason's attention had already drifted back to his phone by the time we started climbing, and just before we disappeared from view, Jane gave Bryan the middle finger over her shoulder. His eyes were still on us, and he chuckled when he caught it.Jane spent the rest of the way upstairs playfully plotting how she would get back at me for the stunt I'd pulled, though the smile she kept trying to hide told me she wasn't nearly as annoyed as she wanted me to believe. I laughed it off an
Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 120
I had it in mind to see Nicholas, mostly to wrap things up cleanly before diving fully into wedding preparations. Mason had already spoken to his mother, and once the wedding was behind us, school would take over most of my time. I also wanted to invite Nicholas before everything got too hectic and I somehow forgot.He was happy for me when I told him, congratulated me warmly, admitted he would miss working with me, and wished me nothing but the best.As I turned to leave, something got into me. Curiosity, maybe, or Daphne's words still sitting in the back of my mind. I turned back around.“Nicholas, are you in love with me?”The question caught him off guard. “Where is that coming from?”“Daphne. She seemed pretty certain you were.” I hesitated. “I didn't think much of it before, but now that I've invited you to the wedding... if she's right and being there is going to be difficult for you, I don't think I'd want to put you through that.”He was quiet for a moment before releasing a

Chase, who was lying facing the door, saw me first.“Fuck.”The shock on his face made Hannah turn around, and she screamed when she saw me.I didn't even bother saying anything. I pulled the door shut and walked back downstairs laughing.I went into the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of wine and a glass, then made myself comfortable while I waited for the walk of shame.They clearly weren't in a hurry to come down. Hannah's muffled scream a few minutes later told me exactly why.My mouth fell open before I started laughing again.I already knew whose idea that was. Chase probably looked at her and said something along the lines of, Well, Mia already saw us. We might as well finish.Shameless.Chase was the first to come downstairs. The moment I saw him, I started grinning.He sat next to me. “What are you even doing here? Shouldn't you be busy preparing for your wedding or something?”“I am doing exactly that. I came to update my bridesmaid, only to walk in on you getting it.” I mimicked
Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 118
The rest of the celebration passed in a blur of laughter, teasing and conversations coming from every direction. At some point, there was so much going on that I gave up trying to keep track of who was saying what and simply enjoyed the moment, watching Lior happily move from lap to lap.I was sitting beside Mason, still occasionally looking down at my ring like it might disappear if I didn't keep checking, when he brought up an engagement party.My father jumped in with his own plan. He wanted to formally introduce me as his daughter.Somehow, those two things became one huge engagement-slash-reveal party, and I was perfectly fine with that.My father had missed years of being my father. If standing in front of a room full of people and proudly announcing that I was his daughter made him happy, I wasn't going to take that away from him.The problem started when they moved on to the wedding.It started with possible dates and quickly spiraled into planners, designers and venues.I sat

Mason“Lawrence, I want everything about her.”My assistant looked up immediately. “Everything, boss?”“Yes. I want to know what her life has been like for the past six years and why she suddenly needs three hundred thousand dollars.”Lawrence gave a short nod. “Understood.”He turned and left the
Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 3
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

“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

MiaFrom the hotel, I drove straight home with only two things on my mind.First, I needed a shower. After that, I would go through everything I owned to see if there was anything worth selling. I couldn’t risk putting all my hope on Mason.The house lights were on when I walked in, and the sound o
