Carter’s POV

Both of them stopped short at the sight of Maya, who was now facing the door and watching them with cool, polite, but guarded eyes.

"So it's true. You're the designer,” my mother said in a cold, flat, and very displeased voice.

Maya smiled. “Hello, Mrs. Davis, Mr. Davis. It’s been quite a while," she said, as politely as you please.

Mom’s scowl deepened. “Wow! I can see..."

"Mom...” I interjected, but my mother, not to be interrupted, continued as if I hadn’t spoken.

  • The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir   Chapter forty four: The lion's den

    Juliet’s POVThe estate was mine by right. My parents had left it to me, along with their business, but now it belonged to the people I hated most on the planet.Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do about it. In this day and age, with all the available technology, pulling off what Richard did would have been way more difficult than it was thirty years ago, or maybe even impossible.But thirty years ago, it was fairly easy to do, especially since I had no living relative, and I married him properly.After Whitfield declared me mentally insane, everything I had had gone to Richard, or at least he had found a way to steal it.I had no way of knowing for sure. There were times I thought I remembered being forced to sign some papers under duress years after being locked up, but my memory of that time was all jumbled up.In any case, even if there was a way I could get back what was rightfully mine, I could only imagine what Richard and Ashley would do if I tried.I shuddered just th

  • The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir   Chapter forty three: More offences

    Juliet's POVI had to be the worst mother on earth. I had replayed what I did at the detective’s office countless times in my head.The memory of Maya's face crumbling in front of me as I basically called her a liar and made her look stupid in front of those detectives tortured me and haunted my sleep.But that wasn't even the worst of what I had done. The worst of what I had done was something I hadn't even told her about yet.I was the reason the press were vilifying her while glorifying the Millers. You see, after we left the police station that day, I had done something stupid. I found Richard’s number, called him, and told him everything that had transpired at the police station.My request was simple. I didn't want any problems. I wasn't going to press charges against him and his family, and they could keep all that they had stolen from me. I only had one request in return.He and his family would leave me, Maya, and everything that concerned us alone.He had been too stunned

  • The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir   Chapter forty two: The wall returns

    Carter's POVAt that moment, I could have gladly strangled Lucas and faced the consequences later.Maya jerked back away from my arms so fast she nearly stumbled. She stared at me with wide eyes, and I could see the disappointment in her eyes.But it wasn't disappointment at me. Rather, it was disappointment at herself.Sighing, I turned to find Lucas frozen in the doorway, staring at the two of us in disbelief.For the first few seconds, he simply looked shocked. Then his eyes dropped to Maya's face.I saw as they took in the drying tears on her cheeks, her red-rimmed and vulnerable-looking eyes, and his expression darkened with utter rage."You bastard. You arrogant asshole…" he spat at me, stalking towards me."Lucas, wait…" Maya started to say.It was too late. Lucas crossed the room in three strides, and before anyone could say 'Jack Robinson,' he swung his fist straight at my face.I didn't see it coming. The blow snapped my head backwards and sent white-hot pain exploding throu

  • The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir   Chapter forty one: Afterward

    Carter’s POVMaya's studio was nearly pitch-dark as I opened the door and stepped in, in search of her.I found her sitting in her chair and staring fixedly at her phone, the light from the screen illuminating her face. She didn't even look up as I entered.I felt sorry for her. I had seen everything the media was peddling. It was horrible, but I knew for a fact that Maya was none of the things that the media was making her out to be.That word ‘ungrateful’ was much better suited to Brooke. This was clearly one of the numerous schemes of the Millers.“I saw the news, Maya. I'm so sorry. You don't deserve any of this.” I told her.Quick as a flash, she got out of her chair so fast it scraped against the floor. Her eyes were blazing with anger.“Sorry? You’re sorry? That’s crazy, considering you’re the cause of all this.”“What?! I don’t understand,” I exclaimed, genuinely confused.“Save the presence, Carter. Don’t play dumb with me. How did the Millers know about the police visit? You

  • The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir   Chapter forty: Trial by public opinion

    Maya's POVFour days after the police station, I was bent over my worktable, busy with a bracelet sketch, when a man I didn't recognize appeared in the studio doorway."Are you Maya Thompson?" he asked."Yes, I am. Come in," I said, barely looking up as my attention was still on my sketch.He did and handed me some documents. “You’ve been served.”My mouth fell open. “Served? I don’t understand. Served with what?”“You’ll find everything you need in the documents,” he said, then turned and left.I closed the studio door, the envelope still gripped tightly in my hands.My hands weren't quite steady as I tore it open. I skimmed through the document in disbelief.The Millers were suing me for defamation because of the allegations I had made to the police. I burst out laughing, but it was a low, humorless laugh.The level of their audacity was indeed astounding. How on earth had they found out I went to the police station, and what I went there for?I hadn't said a single word to the pres

  • The Undesired Wife and Her Hidden Heir   The vehement denial.

    MAYA’s POVWhat's going on? Is everything alright?” She asked as she sat down, looking from me to Lucas and then the detective with mild confusion."Mom, don't worry. It's safe. I already told the detective everything the Millers did to you. The police just need you to confirm it, and then Ashley and Richard will face the full wrath of the law," I encouraged her.A confused look entered her eyes. "I don't understand. What are you talking about?"A sinking feeling gripped my chest. She definitely knew what I was talking about.“Mom, you don't need to be scared. The police will help us."Now, my voice was desperate and pleading, but it didn't sway Mom."But there's nothing for them to help me with, Maya. Why would I be scared?"The detective stepped in then, laying out the allegations I had made before her and assuring her he was ready to see the matter through to the end.Mom simply smiled and shook her head in feigned bewilderment."Oh, no, detective! I'm so, so sorry. It’s no
