The billionaire , the ex and the fake fiance. Chapter 21- Walk of shame.
I woke up to a bunch of missed calls from Priya. Shit! shit! shit! I stared down at myself wearing a large T-shirt, only that it wasn’t mine. I took in my surroundings for the first time and that was when it dawned on me.I had fallen asleep on the car ride after visiting the bar. In my defence I didn't want to go home in that sorry state, forced to face my depressing thoughts without Priye to distract me. She had gone on a date, yeah she was still doing that.My head was pounding.Like someone had replaced my brain with a marching band and forgotten to stop the rehearsal.I blinked at the ceiling, tall, white, and way too expensive to belong to me. Then the scent hit: something crisp and faintly masculine. Not Priye’s air-freshener-meets-coconut-chaos.My heart dropped.Oh, God.I sat up too fast and groaned. My dress was gone. My makeup was ruined. And I peered down at the large T-shirt again.Zane Cross’s shirt.“Okay, breathe,” I muttered to myself. “You can fix this. You didn’t do

The sky started crying first, before I joined in.As I cried, I told myself I wasn’t supposed to be here. I’d told Ethan I couldn’t make the gallery, pitch decks, my dad, a dozen good reasons. So why was I now crying? After all,was this not the outcome I was expecting? As the rain crawled under my collar. I felt a cold hand at my back, “Maya, wait. I was going to tell you.”“Were you?” I asked mildly in irritation and disgust. “Before or after tonight?”I noticed he wasn’t alone , he had the audacity to bring his evidence with him.Leah’s mouth tilted. Not a smile. An assessment. “I’ll give you two a minute,” she said, already stepping back as her fingers brushed his sleeve as she passed. The audacity was infuriating.He reached for my hand. I let him take air. “Please,” he said, “Let me explain.”“Start with the bar,” I said. “I know she was with you that night, your so called business meeting.”“It was nothing.” He insisted “She needed closure, that was all.” He then continued.

I didn’t knock.By the time I pushed through Zane Cross’s office door, my pulse was already sprinting ahead of me. If I’d stopped to think, I probably wouldn’t have done it , but I was past caring about protocol or professionalism.He was behind his desk, sleeves rolled up, focus deep on some sleek tablet. He didn’t even flinch when I walked in, just looked up slow, unbothered, like a man immune to confrontation.“Maya,” he said, voice calm, low. “ Right on time.”“Good,” I shot back, crossing my arms. “Because I wasn’t planning, I needed to be back here. You had me removed from my own team attacking my competence, you couldn’t find any other less demeaning excuse?”He set the tablet down carefully, like my anger was a fly he could just brush off the table. “You read the memo.”“Of course I did,” I snapped. “Do you have any idea what that email does to my professional reputation? I’ve worked my ass off here, Zane. And you just…”“Protected you.”I laughed, the kind that sounded lik

“You’re sure Cross won’t see this coming?” Malcolm Kane asked without looking up, as he swirled the liquid in the crystal tumbler. The rooftop restaurant purred around them, soft jazz, soft voices, as the city below gleamed like an accomplice, bright, reckless and too far away to care.“He’ll see something,” Richard Hale said, “You boys never tire of underestimating men like Zane Cross. It’s adorable.”“ Exactly why we would stop him before he connects the dots together.” Victor added from the other end of the table.“Let’s skip the foreplay,” Malcolm said, leaning forward. “Cross Developments’s Harbor South filings lock the waterfront for five years, if he gets council sign-off. That’s a death knell to my pipeline.”“Correction,” Hale murmured, sliding a mint to the edge of his napkin. “It’s a death knell to our pipeline.”“And whose fault is that?” Malcolm said. “You were supposed to slow him.”In the shadowed corner, Leah crossed one silk-sheathed ,over the other the slit of her cr
