"You're soaking wet for me," He murmured, his warm breath dancing across my skin, sending shivers down my spine. His thumb traced a gentle path along my jaw, his touch igniting a spark within me. His eyes gleamed with a raw hunger, their intensity making my heart skip a beat. I felt a flutter in my chest, despite the warning bells ringing in my mind. "Say it" he whispered, his lips inches from mine. 'Say you want me, Maya.' I hated him. I knew I shouldn't be doing this. He had hurt me before, and I shouldn't be giving him the power to hurt me again. But I couldn't deny that I still had some feelings for him. After all, I had loved him before I even knew what love meant. I was certain he'd hurt me again. This time, I wasn't sure I'd ever recover from it. I closed my eyes and whispered the words that would certainly lead to my doom " I want you" . . . After being humiliated and abandoned by her in-laws, Maya found herself working as a stripper to make ends meet for herself and her baby. A few years later, she came back determined to exert revenge on all those who wronged her. But she was faced with some conflicted emotions. How would she deal with this? Will she let go of her grudges and forgive the people who hurt her? Or will she make them pay at all costs?

was now certain that she was completely drunk. She saw an object in double and her eyes were dizzy. She belched and took the last drop of the alcohol, gulping it down.The club house was noisy and the dancers were having fun. But what mattered to Arianna was completely different. She hadn't come for fun seeking but to forget her misery and heartbreak.
She was supposed to be a bride the next morning, walking down the aisle with her heartthrob and best friend for five years. They had anticipated that day to come but in less than twenty four hours, the hope of seeing that day come true was trashed.
The memory of what she saw played itself again in her head "...oh my days!...fuck me harder Ethan baby...oh...good...faster...oh...yeah...I love you Ethan…"
Arianna shook her head as if by doing so, the memory of it would disappear. She cleaned the tears off her face. Why can't she just forget, she's been in the club house for a few hours now, trying to forget that ugly scene she stumbled upon.
But the more she tried to forget, the harder it became. She tried standing up but ended up sinking back into her seat. She summoned up her strength and stood up.
She needed to visit the washroom and after that, find a way of helping herself out of the club house. Her legs were heavy and as she walked, her knees wobbled.
Just before turning, she sighted a tall figure walking into one of the rooms and she followed. She went in just before he shut the door and rested her back on the door.
"Hey handsome. Why don't you make me happy?" She smirked and threw herself into his arms. She started kissing him, an act that the man was reluctant to get down with.
Few hours later, Arianna opened her eyes with a panting headache. She glanced around the dark room and wondered how she got in there.
A vague memory of how the evening went popped up in her head and she gasped. She turned to look at her side and saw a man sleeping peacefully.
What the hell had she done? She stood up with great difficulty. She doesn't need to be told that she has lost her most cherished possession: her virginity.
The pain she felt between her thighs was proof enough that she had been violated. She endured the pain and put on her jeans and blouse and pulled out a $100 note, stuck it in the man's hand.
The room is dark, thank goodness she didn't get to see how the man looks. He's a good gigolo but she couldn't pay him well for his services.
She sneaked out of the room and went away. She went straight to her mini apartment to get a few things and leave Z- city but was dazed when the lock to her apartment had been changed.
It was barely dawn and she couldn't ask her neighbours what or who changed her lock. But then,she decided to fetch her phone and called the agent handling her apartment.
When she got her phone, she saw there had been a text message. It was from Ethan. She glanced and read the content "don't bother why the lock was changed, I did it"
Arianna simply turned and left her apartment and everything she's got in it and went to another city.
Two months later, Arianna woke up and felt lazy to get out of bed. She wondered why she caught a fever so soon, just arriving at a new city.
She decided to visit the hospital and met a young doctor, he was the one on call and after examining Arianna, he sent her to the laboratory for a test.
When the result was brought, the doctor handed it over to her and she glanced over it. Her hands shook when she saw the test result.
Pregnancy Test -positive!
What!
Four years later
Arianna came back from work and her son ran to hug her. She lifted him off his feet and kissed his cute temple.
"Welcome Mummy" the little boy chimed, excited at the sight of his mother. "Missed you Eli" Arianna chimed, holding him firm and sitting on the sofa.
"Thank you, Mrs Brook for always looking after him" Arianna said, appreciating Eli's nanny.
Mrs Brook had looked after Eli since he was a baby. She's best referred to as his second mother. Arianna was his birth mother but Mrs Brook raised him.
"You're welcome," Mrs Brook replied. She Soon said goodbye to Arianna and went home. She's done with the day's job the moment Arianna comes back.
Arianna got a job with a company and she's been employed to work as a junior jewellery designer. She's been working there after Eli was born but then, it seemed her time in the company had ended.
The company has been sold out to a new owner and all the employees have been paid off. She was paid three times her salary and her appointment terminated.
"How was school today,Eli?" Arianna asked. The little boy got off her thighs and ran off to bring his books. Arianna saw how smartly he ran off and smiled.
He's her consolation and the reason why she didn't get hurt again after what happened a few years ago. Each time she looks at her son, she's glad and happy that she was blessed with such an amazing son.
"Mummy, I got all the marks in the class exercise. My teacher said I'm the best" Eli chimed, emptying his bag and bringing out his workbook.
"Wow, you are the best Eli" Arianna praised him. The little boy was happy that his mother was as excited as him in his class work.
"Eli, we are leaving for Z- city tomorrow" Arianna broke the news to him. The boy paused and next jumped up in excitement.
"That means, I'm getting to meet my daddy. '' He asked rhetorically.
Chapter 13.Maya pov I don't want it to end, the moment shared with him and my daughter marked the end of the world and everlasting one.I noticed the vision getting more blurry, the thick fog surrounding me dissolving around me as I felt an intense pull from another side.“Maya! Maya!” The tension in the voice and the subsiding pain I felt around my cheeks all seemed an entirely new realm to me.I felt the voice getting sharper, the tension getting clearer with the echoes that surrounded the voice. The more I tried to go back the more the voice grew, the fog dissolving.“Hey…Maya! Maya!!”I blinked away the blurriness adjusting to the new sight unfolding right in front of me.I exchanged gazes with different faces, known and unknown.I was so confused about my state, hoping to rectify the empty pieces in my memory; I checked around, and that was when I realized I was in the hospital.The clothes, the gown, and the strange faces I found out to be the Nurse and the doctor. Mindsets in
Maya'sThe days were beginning to feel different—not necessarily better, but different. There was a softness in the air, in the way the light came through the curtains, and even in the way people moved around the house. It wasn't peace, not yet, but it was close enough to let me breathe without pain.Alex had been consistent. He didn't press or demand. He didn’t try to rewrite the past. Instead, he just showed up—every morning, every night, for our daughter, for me. At first, it felt like a performance, something he would grow tired of. But days turned to weeks, and the performance never stopped. It started to feel real. Real enough to scare me.One evening, Grandma invited me to join her in the garden. The sun was low, golden light bathing the flowers. I sat beside her on the old wooden bench while she pruned the marigolds."You are thinking too much," she said without looking at me.I smiled faintly. "Is that wrong?"She snipped a stem and dropped it into the basket. "Thinking is on
Maya’s POV.I didn’t sleep that night. I lay on the bed with my eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling, feeling my heart thump with every breath I took. Alex’s words kept echoing in my head: "She is my wife to be." I didn’t even know how to feel about it anymore. That moment, that bold declaration, it felt like a lie I told, and yet he made it real. Did that mean I said yes without meaning to? Did that mean we were getting back together?No. I couldn’t just let that happen. Not without answers. Not without understanding what went wrong before. I wasn’t going to fall into his arms just because he suddenly decided to return. I needed to know what happened that night. The night everything broke. The night I called him in my most desperate moment and Lisa answered.I stood up from the bed. The room was dark, the moonlight from the window spreading across the floor like a path. I followed it, wrapping a thin shawl around my shoulders as I walked to the window. The air was still, quiet, too
Alex’s pov.I watched her walk away, the hem of her maroon gown brushing lightly against her calves, that silver anklet catching the light just enough to keep my eyes stuck in a loop. That woman could light up a room just by walking into it. And now, she was mine again. Or maybe she never stopped being mine.I sighed, running a hand through my hair as the door shut behind her. I could still feel the heat of her palm in mine, and the words I had just spoken echoed in my mind: "Yeah, she is my wife to be."Did I mean it? Yes.Did I plan to say it right there and then? Absolutely not.It was a moment of impulse, but not regret. I had spent years messing things up, making wrong decisions, choosing fleeting things over what really mattered. And Maya... she had always been the one who mattered most.Lisa's eyes were still locked on the closed door like she wanted to burn a hole through it. I didn’t feel sorry for her—not anymore. Not after all the lies, the manipulation, and the role she pl
Chapter 9.Maya’sMy mind was screaming in my head after the bombshell that was released.“This is an opportunity for you to regain everything you’ve lost”“You deserve more than this baby girl! He didn't deserve you at least not anymore”“This is the last chance for you to give your kid that father figure she has been looking for for years!”My mind suddenly turned into an arena of debate where tongues and teeth fight against one another to present to you that convincing statement, but at this moment my tongue and teeth weren't in any fight; the fight was between my mind and brain.My Noodles went from hot to soggy as I felt the time stop spinning around us; my head hung low while I wore that accomplished smirk, the smirk that gave me the confidence of what I portrayed.“Yeah, I want him, and I wish for that chance and opportunity to come almost every day, and it was so funny how I was so presented with this opportunity at the platter of Gold.” I thought.“You're still there, right?
Chapter 8 Maya POV It had been three years, and coming back here caused a lot of feelings to rush through me, but I didn't want that to bother me. I took off my dark-shade glasses and walked through the security check. "It's so good to be home," I muttered, walking with the luggage. However, the stares I got and the mutters coming out of the people's mouths made me slightly uncomfortable. "No she's a star, it's obvious..." Another answered. But I Ignored their words and continued moving. I got outside the airport where the taxi I booked was waiting for me. "What?!" I exclaimed, and he did the same. It seemed we were both shocked to see ourselves. "What are you doing back here looking so..." He trailed off shocked. "You look so good..." He paused and then continued. "You've changed a lot from the last time I saw you. I mean, you're all mature, and pretty." His words were kind, and I gave him a small smile to show my appreciation. "Thank you so much for the complime
