Carter's POV

The courtroom was packed full, but I didn't even bother to go in.

Maybe it was a tad desperate to wait for Maya here, but she hadn't responded to my calls or messages.

An emergency had suddenly come up that would keep me away for two weeks or more.

I couldn't let her go on thinking I was a mindless monster who had thrown her to the wolves for one second longer.

“Sir, I’m sure if you tried to go in, they'd find a spot for you…” My bodyguard said from the front seat, but I interrupt

    Carter's POVThe courtroom was packed full, but I didn't even bother to go in.Maybe it was a tad desperate to wait for Maya here, but she hadn't responded to my calls or messages.An emergency had suddenly come up that would keep me away for two weeks or more. I couldn't let her go on thinking I was a mindless monster who had thrown her to the wolves for one second longer.“Sir, I’m sure if you tried to go in, they'd find a spot for you…” My bodyguard said from the front seat, but I interrupted him.“No, you know I don't like that kind of thing. Some people have been here since dawn. I’ll just wait here.”“Of course, sir. I’m sorry.”We lapsed into silence again and continued to wait, while I answered some work emails on my PC.I checked my phone again. Of course, there was no response from her yet. I did not blame her. The court was still in session, and most likely phones weren't allowed in there.I shook my head, feeling like a lovestruck teenager checking his phone every few se

    Maya's POVLucas predicted that the court would be packed full today, and boy, was he right!We had gotten here an hour early, yet the premises were swarming with people.Camera crews had lined the courthouse steps.Paparazzi saw his car drive in and immediately began to scramble to take pictures of us and yell questions at us."Gosh, I hate this part of fame so much," he muttered, taking my hand."Me too," I replied.I rarely had this problem, but on the rare occasions I had it, I hated it nonetheless.Still, nothing was going to stop me from attending this session.Thankfully, we came with bodyguards who paved the way for us through the chaos.Inside, reporters sat shoulder to shoulder, but thankfully, a notice outside the door said no cameras or recording of any kind was allowed, which kept the chaos at bay.Not long after we came in, a bailiff began to turn people away at the door.Lucas sat beside me, his shoulder warm against mine and his quiet presence as comforting as ever.We

    Maya's POVStill kissing each other fiercely, with our hands running over each other's bodies, we collapsed against the sofa.We remained there for quite some time, just kissing and discovering each other's bodies.Then he took my hand and led me down a dim hallway to his bedroom.He didn't turn on the lights, but there was enough light filtering in that I could faintly make out his features and feel his warmth as he towered over me.He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and murmured, "Tell me to stop at any point. I mean it, Maya.""I know you do, but I wish you'd stop talking and get right to it," I replied sultrily.Lucas was such a gentleman, and I loved him for it, but I had needs and talking wasn't going to meet them.So I stood on my tiptoes to place another kiss against his lips, roughly this time around.The last time I had had sex was nearly two years ago, so I was in something of a hurry.I pulled at his shirt impatiently, relishing the feeling of his insistent hardness

    Maya's POV"Don't worry about Brooke, Mom. Obviously, she won't be happy, but her parents are simply getting what they deserve. No one, least of all me, cares what Brooke thinks or feels, and you shouldn't either. She's not a baby, and she’s certainly not a victim," I assured her.She was quiet for a while, and then she nodded. "You’re right. Anyway, I'll feel much better with Ashley and Richard locked away, where I can happily forget about their existence. This actually calls for a celebration. Go and call my grandson. I'll tell him we're having ice cream for dinner."I laughed, knowing how much Ethan would love that.I met him and Lucas in the hallway, coming back into the living room.Lucas caught my wrist gently, while Ethan continued on his way. "Have dinner with me. I can tell you haven't eaten all day.""Mom and Ethan..." I began to say."They’re going out for ice cream. I heard her say so. They’ll be fine."As if to buttress his point, Ethan’s squeal of delight and excited cha

    Maya's POV"Are you ready to leave now, Maya?" Lucas asked quietly.I nodded, still overwhelmed. "Yes, I have to go break the news to Mom. I'm sure she hasn't seen it yet; if not, she would have called me by now. You know she's not tech-savvy at all, and I don't want to tell her over the phone."A fond, indulgent smile appeared on his face. "You're right. Do you want me to go with you, or would you rather do it alone?""I want you with me, Lucas. You've been with us this whole time and it's only right that you share this news with her.""Alright then, let's go."He gave me a soft kiss on the lips and together we left the conference room.By this time, the media was already buzzing with all sorts of wild speculations and theories regarding the Millers' arrests."I half expect them to start crucifying me again, especially since I was right there at the scene of the arrest. I'm sure it almost looks like I was the one who orchestrated the whole thing," I mused to Lucas.He squeez

    “Because they’re Leo’s grandparents. You have to use your connections to get them out, please!”I scowled. “I can’t do anything of the sort. The law would take its course. If they're guilty, then they should be punished, and if they're not, then they’ll definitely be released.”“Oh, God! I can’t believe this. They trusted you!”“Why do you sound like I put them in the cell myself?”Leo came barreling down the hallway, dragging a backpack almost as big as he was.“Daddy!” he exclaimed happily.My mood improved drastically on seeing him, and I was grateful for the interruption.“How are you, honey?”“I’m fine. Daddy, Mommy packed ALL my clothes! Even my winter jacket! And my dinosaur, and my other dinosaur, and my Spider-Man and …”I turned to look at Brooke in surprise. Leo had a whole wardrobe of clothes at my place, so he usually didn't need much when coming over.She gave a high-pitched, too bright laugh. “Just in case he wants to stay a few extra days. Isn't that nice?”I looked a
