Do you realize you just played with fire?” He asked in a deadly tone but Maya was too drunk to know what was going on. “Yh, and I loved the heat.” She replied drunkenly, wrapping her hands around his neck. “You’re going to regret this when you sober up,” he said, trying to peel her off him but she pouted and shook her head like a five year old whiles settling on his lap more comfortably. At least, comfortable for her not him because he was having a hard time controlling his little guy down there. “I need you to show me all the fire you possess, handsome,” she says before giving him a chaste kiss on his lips. **** Maya’s world came crushing when she finds her fiancé in bed with another woman. Out of sadness, she goes to a bar that same evening to drink her sorrows away. What happens when an out of control drunk Maya ends up on the laps of a cold hearted CEO. A dark night, series of misunderstandings, a contract, what happens after she sobers up and realizes what mess she has gotten into. Will she succeed in thawing the cold CEO and make him a bit soft and gentle? He tasted her and now he feels addicted. If her lips and innocent kiss could make him feel this way then what if he went further? What would happen to him if he crossed the forbidden gates. He’s been with a lot of women but no one has made him feel this way. He feel the walls he has built around him crack and his stone cold heart thaws whenever he’s with her. He wants her and would do anything to to have her and make her his.

Closing her eyes as the bitter liquor run down her throat, she thought about what she would do after this place. She owed her parents an explanation and she wasn’t going to run away from it.She wasn’t a drinker but she needed this drink to get her mind of that traitor. How could he do this to her? What wrong did she do to deserve this? How has he been keeping this from her for a long time now? She sobbed silently as the images from a hour ago played in her head over and over again. She was taking alcohol to get her mind off it but it wasn’t working. Maybe she just needed more. With that thought in mind, she waved the bar tender over and ordered more bottles.He told her he loved her. He told her he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He promised to make her happy. He promised to always be there with and for her. So all this was a lie? All this was just a joke? How could he do that to her? How could he be in the arms of another woman the night before their wedding."You should blame yourself not me," she mumbled his words before taking another gulp of the bitter drink. "You wouldn’t let me touch you before we get married," he chuckles. Anger clouded her vision as his smile flashed before her eyes. She could clearly remember how he held the other woman so close to him as if the two year relationship was just a child’s play to him."You know you can change your mind and join my baby here and I for some fun," he smirked making Maya feel disgusted as she registered his words. After all this he had the nerve to still tell her this? Why wasn’t he ashamed of himself? Where was the gentleman she knew."A threesome for the night won’t be bad at all, would it baby?" He asked the other woman whiles caressing her cheek."No babe, I would absolutely enjoy it," she replied biting her lips whiles looking at Maya."See? She’s cool with it," the man who she was supposed to get married to said with a smile that never left his face."I... I can’t believe you’re telling me this," Maya said almost breaking into tears."Believe it baby, it’s happening," he chuckled."So this is the night before our wedding, right?" Maya asked tears blurring her vision."Right." He responded casually."And you’re inviting me to join you in bed with another woman?""Exactly, you’re so smart," he smiles ."On the night before our marriage?""Why are you stressing so much about it?" He sighs."Alfred!" Maya couldn’t hide her shock."Yes darling," he smiled. " Look, people normally have bachelor parties but it’s too boring for my personality so this is what I want you know," he shrugged at the end of his sentence."You love me right? So what’s stopping you from granting my only wish, huh?" He questioned."If this is your wish then....""Then..." he asked impatiently."You’re an asshole," now it was time for Maya to give him the shock. "Yes Alfred, you’re a asshole and you don’t deserve me. You know what? I’m not getting married to you again. This wedding has been called off, you and your slut can have an awesome night," Maya said angrily."Wow amazing speech. You know you deserve five stars for this right?" He chuckled whiles getting out of the bed.Maya’s eyes widened horror as he approached her completely naked."What? Like what you’re seeing?" He smiled ."You’re so shameless. I wonder what I saw in you. I regret ever meeting you," Maya said pure anger her voice."Let’s not jump into conclusions now baby doll," He said caressing her cheek."Don’t touch me," Maya slapped his arm away."I hate you Alfred. I hate you." She said these words angrily before running out. The tears she had been holding back we’re now flowing freely as she run out of the streets. Everything looked like a dream to her. One minute her life looked perfect and the next, everything is crashing down right before her.Deep down she hoped he would run after her and tell her he didn’t mean whatever he told her back there. He would tell her he loved her and this was all a prank, a prank like the ones the tiktok stars often do on their pages. But who was she kidding, reality was slapping her in the face.After running for a while, Maya could hear strong music coming from a distance.There must be a club or bar around here, I’ll probably find peace here," she smiled sadly, whiles wiping her tears. She’s heard alcohol makes people’s problems disappear momentarily and that is what she needed right now. Without second thoughts, she walked towards the music and ended up inside with loads of alcohol taking toll over her."Stupid drink," Maya cursed as she took the last gulp. "You were supposed to take my mind off that bastard," she groaned, hitting her head against thecounter slightly.Feeling nauseous, she hit the counter loudly drawing the bartender’s attention."Where’s the bathroom?" She asked drunkenly."Just go straight and turn right," was all she heard before walking away. She bumped into a lot of people on the way and kept saying "sorry" to them."Maybe drinking so much was a bad idea," she thought holding onto her purse tightly.Did the bartender say right or left? Ok, now she was confused but she really needed to use the bathroom."Excuse me miss, where’s the bathroom ?" She asked a woman passing but she completely ignored her."Idiot," Maya rolled her eyes before taking her left, unaware of what she was walking into.The clatter of trays echoed through the cold, concrete dining hall. Harsh fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting a sickly glow on the crowded rows of prisoners. Amber sat alone at the end of a long table, her shoulders hunched, eyes fixed on the unappetizing food on her tray. She hadn't touched it. She rarely did.A shadow fell over her."Well, well," came a voice dripping with mockery. "If it isn't the queen herself."Amber looked up slowly. Three inmates loomed over her—bigger, rougher, eyes gleaming with the thrill of cruelty. The leader, a tall woman with cropped hair and a twisted grin, leaned closer."Thought you were someone on the outside, huh? Big boss lady?" she hissed. "Now you're just another number."Amber didn't respond. That had become her new strategy—silence. But silence, in prison, was often seen as weakness.The tray was snatched away and flipped. The food splattered across the floor."Oops," the woman sneered. "Clumsy of me."Another woman grabbed Amber by the
Six months laterThe courtroom was packed, the air heavy with tension and anticipation. Maya sat between Damian and Amanda, her fingers laced tightly in her lap, nerves held in check only by the steady weight of Damian's hand on hers. Ron sat beside them, his expression unreadable, and next to him was Oliver—his arm draped protectively around Amanda, the glint of the engagement ring on her finger catching the light every so often.All of them had been through hell. But today… today was the beginning of closure.Ace and Amber sat in the defendant's box, clad in orange jumpsuits, wrists shackled. Amber's face had hardened, stripped of the arrogance that once defined her. Ace sat still, jaw locked, gaze forward, as if pretending none of this was real.The judge entered, and everyone rose. Silence fell like a stone.After a long recounting of the crimes—kidnapping, torture, conspiracy, attempted murder—the judge looked toward the two with a stern gaze."For the gravity of your crimes, you
A single gun shot jolted Maya awake. "Dennis…..Amayrah…." She whispered, running towards the sound of the gunshot. She ran toward the sound, boots pounding over concrete, her breath catching in her throat. As she turned the corner, her eyes widened in horror.Amanda was on the floor, blood blooming across her chest in a thick, merciless stain. Her body twitched once—then went still.And standing above her, unshaken and remorseless, was Lisa, the smoking gun still in her hand."Well," Lisa drawled, cocking her head, eyes dark with satisfaction, "the past always finds a way to bleed into the present."Maya stared at Amanda's fallen form, shock and sorrow wrestling in her throat. But then her gaze locked with Lisa's—and it turned to fire.Maya's eyes burned with fury as she stepped toward Lisa, fists clenched at her sides. "You shot her," she seethed. "You really shot your own daughter."Lisa's mouth curled into a cruel smile. "She stopped being mine the moment she chose you."Without
Maya was dragged across the cold, concrete floor, her body sore and bruised from the relentless beatings. Her mouth was gagged, and her wrists and ankles had been bound so tightly she could barely feel her fingers. Blood trickled from her lip, and her eyes—though swollen—still burned with defiance.But even that flicker began to fade when she saw the large, empty glass tank standing in the center of the warehouse. Clear, tall, and sinister in its stillness, it gleamed beneath the hanging bulbs. Wires trailed from a panel beside it, connected to a rusty water valve and timer system.Ace tightened the ropes around her arms, and Lisa gave a cold nod. "Let's see how long love keeps you alive, Maya."Amber walked ahead and unlocked the glass door. "Inside," she cooed with venomous sweetness.They shoved Maya in roughly, her body collapsing against the cold base of the tank. The door slammed shut behind her, the sound echoing like a tomb sealing. A heavy latch locked it tight. Maya lifted h
Maya sat on the edge of the living room couch, her fingers still locked around her phone even after the dreadful video ended. The house buzzed with urgency—officers coming and going, Ron barking orders into his earpiece, and Damian coordinating a tactical response. But her ears were ringing with the image of her babies—tied up, helpless, with death ticking away by the second.Her phone vibrated again.Unknown Number.She answered it immediately. "Hello?!"A chillingly calm voice responded."Hello, Maya. Did you like the video?"Maya froze. "Lisa…""I told you once, didn't I? You took everything from me. Now I'm just returning the favor." Her voice was laced with quiet venom. "You have one hour.""Where are they? What do you want?!""I'll send you the location. Come alone. If I even suspect you've told Damian or the police, I swear to you, I will make you watch what happens when a bomb goes off with your children strapped to it."Maya's heart stuttered."I'm not playing games, sweethea
The roar of Damian's car echoed through the estate as he pulled into the driveway, leaping out before the engine fully shut off. His eyes scanned the perimeter—guards stood in formation, two black vehicles sat abandoned with their doors flung open, and four men lay subdued and zip-tied on the gravel. Some of the guards had followed them under Ron's instructions and captured them Ron rushed to meet him. "They didn't breach the house, but they got close. Maya and the kids followed the panic protocol. She's inside."Damian didn't wait for more. He stormed into the house, boots echoing against the marble floor."Maya!" he called.She appeared at the base of the stairs, visibly shaken but unharmed."You're okay," he muttered, pulling her into a tight embrace. He cupped her face, eyes darting over her to confirm it."I'm fine. I got the kids into the safe room." Her voice was shaky now, the adrenaline fading. "They were scared, but I made sure they got inside."Damian nodded and turned sha
