Grayson looking cautiously to where Maya is, started to move inconspicuously to her direction, making sure that he will not be noticed. When he gauged that the distance to getting her is enough, he stopped and observed.He watched as Jordan is spewing curses at them and a few minutes later, getting on his knees and begging for the life of the three women involved in his life. He heard Paul Willis sneering at him and then mentioned the senior Cunningham.Grayson then recalled the phone call he got from his brother earlier.“Your timing is bad,” he immediately answered.“It’s the grandfather,” Benedict said seriously from the other end. Sounds of paper rustling at the background could be heard. “I had my investigator coordinated with Nathan and he dug deeper into their family. He started from the top and was able to discover something about Dexter Cunningham.”“What the hell are you talking about?” Grayson asked tightly as his eyes stayed on the monitor and saw Maya trying to calm herse
Thomas Jamison stared through the glass doors outside the ICU on the VIP Floor Level of The Southshore Hospital where his employer is currently sitting on one side of the room with his head resting on the bed, his arms wrapped around it.It’s already early in the evening, five hours since Maya was brought to the hospital. Due to the number of times that she seized, she was brought to the Operating Room where the surgeon had to perform a Cardiopulmonary bypass.The procedure took a while since every ten minutes a direct cardiac electrical defibrillation was undertaken until the surgeon was finally contented with the results.Thomas remembered closing his eyes in thanks, praying silently and fervently that Maya was able to survive the surgery. All throughout the procedure, Grayson had never left his spot, standing by the double-swing doors, keeping his vigil.He watched the rise and fall of Maya’s chest as she lays comatose on the bed, intubated and other IV lines inserted on her left a
Grayson took his gaze away from the window and turned around when he heard the door to the library opened in his brother’s estate on a Wednesday morning. He saw Benedict, Charlotte and their mother entered together with Albert Rutherford, their father’s good friend and lawyer along with two of his staff.It has been more than a month since the Grand Duke had died and Grayson was grateful inside to Thomas for silently convincing him to fly back to his father. He arrived just in time to spend the last hours before his father took his last breath.“I am so proud of you, my son,” Maxwell St. Claire said slowly, his voice rasped. He raised his hand and Grayson immediately took it, placing it on his cheek and clutching it tight. “You don’t know how much I am.”Grayson squeezed his father’s arm with his other hand.“I know you are, Dad,” he replied, tears welling up around his eyes. “Thank you for believing in me always. I love you.”“Do what you do, Grayson,” his father continued. “Don’t le
Two weeks later…Jordan watched from the bench as the jury came back from their private conference room on a Wednesday morning. He shifted on his seat and winced a little and Adam, who is beside him, turned in concerned.“I’m good,” he assured as his friend. “Just needed to stretch out after this.”It has been more than a month since they were finally able to catch Paul Willis, Mary and Jenna Hamilton and her kids and ended the havoc that they created.Jordan was able to wake up from his coma two weeks after the incident and that was when he finally discovered the deep reason why such turmoil was made especially by Paul Willis. To his shocked, Grayson’s brother was able to find out that Paul Willis is an offspring of his grandfather from a woman he randomly met at a business summit. During that time, his grandmother had already passed away and the woman just became a passing fancy.When Dexter was informed that she got pregnant and said that she doesn’t want to be involved in his worl
Maya reached out her hands and gently touched the petals from the field of tulips that she is walking through. She smiled as the flower bent towards her as if bowing at her presence. She looked around the fields and gasped at the awe of beauty surrounding her.She looked towards the bright and blue sky as she walked further down the fields.“It’s so beautiful here,” she murmured as she held onto her hat when the wind blew.She continued walking through the grounds, admiring the field. When she saw a path to her right, she turned and this time she found herself surrounded by fields of roses and peonies. Her smile widened at the beautiful sight.“Mommy!” A voice rang out behind her.Maya turned and saw Spencer, running towards her with a big smile on his face and his arms opened wide. She got down to her knees and opened her arms, waiting for him to come close.“Hi, mommy!” Spencer greeted with a big smile on his face as she enveloped him in a loving and warm embrace. He gave her a loud
Maya leaned back on the pillows placed behind her after she took some medication from the nurse on a Monday morning, where she was finally moved to a regular room in the VIP Floor, two days after she woke up. She looked down and made sure that Spencer is sleeping comfortably beside her. Her son had never left her side since she woke up and her heart ached at the thought of the difficulty he went through for the past weeks.She listened as Thomas recounted everything from the day, they went to confront Mary up to the day she had finally awaken. She shuddered when she knew the amount of drugs that Maverick had injected into her and the fatal shot that was meant for her where Jordan had saved her by putting himself in front of her.“Callum’s taking care of the properties from your parents,” Thomas continued softly. “Hopefully, you will be discharged tomorrow or the day after. I called Mr. St. Claire but he’s still in a meeting with some investors.”Maya only nodded and her eyes traveled
Maya went out from the car the following day and looked up at the house that Grayson had bought for them at Montleigh Villas. She looked down when Spencer took hold of her hand and smiled at him.“Are we staying here?” Spencer asked as he turned around to where Jordan is, who just got of his own car and cross the street towards them. “Will daddy be staying with us?”“Daddy will be just across the street,” Jordan answered for her with a smile.“Why?!” Spencer asked again.Maya has no words for her son.“Well, because your Auntie Meg, Cass, Grandpa and Pops are staying with me there for the meantime,” Jordan explained calmly as he lifted him off his feet. “But, guess what?”Spencer looked at his father expectantly.“Pogo will be staying with you!” Jordan then said and Spencer squealed with happiness.“Welcome back, Maya,” Yasmine greeted with a smile. “I have brunch ready for you.”Maya smiled at her in reply and turned back to Jordan. “Will you join us for brunch?” She asked him. “I co
Grayson stared through the window at the back of the Bentley he is riding on that night, watching the rain lightly drenching the city. He watched as pedestrians hurriedly walk or run for cover while those with umbrellas immediately opened them up.He could see couples wrapping their arms around each other as they shared an umbrella while others are hovering underneath one coat as they crossed the street.Melanie Peters, his brother’s secretary, whom Benedict temporarily lent to him was dictating his schedule for tomorrow.“Tomorrow you’ll be meeting Mr. Frederick Oldman,” she stated. “He’s the caretaker of Barmpton Keep. He’ll be updating you the accounts and operations of the building. He also informed me that he will be presenting proposals as well for a higher income target next year.”“My lord?”Grayson looked towards the front and saw Melanie looking at him expectantly.“Cancel it,” he said firmly finally making up his mind. “Take me to the airport now. I’m going back to Maya.”“
