Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 89
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

My first instinct was to turn around and walk right back out. I knew nothing good was waiting for me.But Mason's voice looped in my head, the reminder that backing down only ever made things worse with his mother. So I decided to sit through it and hear exactly what she'd come to say.I pulled out the chair and sat. "If you wanted to see me, you knew exactly how to find me. You didn't need to stage all this."She ignored that, giving me the same condescending look she seemed to reserve just for me.“Why is it," she started, her tone clipped, "that you decided to latch onto someone else's man?”I was glad Mason had told me the full story of the contract already. If I'd walked in here without that context, she might have managed to shake me.I looked at her and reminded myself of Mason's advice to match her energy. Nothing I did tonight was going to make her approve of me."You've got that backwards," I corrected. "That's a question for Naomi. She's the one chasing a man who doesn't wa

Looking at Mason's face, I could tell he meant every word. If I pushed back too hard, this would turn into an actual argument, and that wasn't how I wanted to start the morning.I walked up and kissed him quick on the lips. "We'll talk about it when I get back."I turned to leave. He caught my wrist and shook his head. "That's not going to work.""Mason, please. Nicholas is outside. I don't want to be late."His jaw tightened. "Then I'll drop you myself.""That's ridiculous, and you know it." I ticked it off on my fingers. "Lior's school, your office, and my job aren't anywhere near each other. We'd drop him first, then swing back around to get me to work before you could even make it to yours. Or I just get in the car that's already outside and you don't waste an hour driving in circles. You know I'm making sense."He didn't answer right away, calculating, while my phone buzzed against my palm, Nicholas calling again.Mason glanced at it. "Did you tell him yet? That you're my girlfri
Mr. Hayes’ Secret Heir CHAPTER 85
Just like I'd predicted, Mason refused to let me go out with Jane again that evening. Every trick I tried, nothing worked. Every promise I made got a firm no."We agreed only on seeing her in the morning," he said, like that settled it. "If you and Jane want a real hangout, do it on one of her free days. I'll even cover her traveling expenses to LA. But I'm not sharing you with anyone on this trip."I teased him. "This is giving very controlling boyfriend energy, you know that?”That made it worse. He took both our phones, switched them off, and hid them somewhere I never found. It was funny, honestly, how fiercely he held on to me. I didn't get the phone back until we were already boarding the jet home.I never told him about Nina. Ruben was back behind bars, sure, but that didn't answer how he'd known to find me at that ice cream shop. I didn't want to read too much into it. But it didn't feel like coincidence either.When we landed in LA, the driver took us straight to Mason's pare

You know that look, the one you get when trouble finds you and your worst enemy just happens to be standing right there. That was exactly Nina's face when she saw me."What's going on here?" I asked again.One of the men waved a hand at me without even turning fully around. "You're not deaf. You're better off minding your business."I ignored him and looked at Nina instead. "What happened?"She started explaining through tears, her voice shaking so badly I couldn't make out a single word of it."Get up first," I told her.“Don't you dare!" the taller one barked."Nina. Trust me. Get up."She weighed it, glanced between them and me, then pushed herself to her feet."Now. Tell me what happened, calmly, so I can follow."She pulled in a breath, steadying herself. She cleaned for them, and had just finished for the day, on her way out, when they accused her of stealing a watch. She swore, desperate, that she hadn't touched it, begging me to believe her, swearing on her own life before the

“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

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
