She was furious. just when she was about leaving the room, her phone started ringing, she turned back and grabbed her phone from the bed, her eyes widened seeing the call was from Michael, Michael has been bugging her to go out for lunch with him which she politely declined, she knew what Micheal wanted but she was not willing to give him a chance, she has never felt anything for Michael and she didn't see the need to keep leading him on, she just wanted to be friends with him but Michael wanted more than friendship "Hello Maya"Micheal's voice lingered "Hi Micheal ".Why are you calling this early she said wanting him to go straight to the point "Have you changed your mind about going on a lunch date with me,"he let out and wen

Maya's words pierced Jason's heart into a thousand pieces as he hasn't seen Maya this defensive before, she must hate him so much that she hid his son's identity from him, he tried to pull back the tears that threatened to drop down from his cheeks, he recalled the hurtful words he said to Maya years back and the numerous times he forced himself on her." I raped my wife?" he buried his head in shame and regret, the flash of Maya's cries and pleads each time he devoured her on bed lingered in his head, he felt bad for the way he treated her in the past, he was ready to be a better man for her and a better father to their son, he swore to do anything within his power to win her love again He jolted out of his deep thoughts when Lizzy walked in glaring at him like a lost sheep, a glint of anger that Jason didn't see engulfed her as she sat down staring at him, she shoot daggers at him, Jadon barely noticed as he didn't spare her a glance, he quickly swallowed the lump down his throat as

Jason walked into Maya's office dressed in a blue suit and a white shirt underneath. The ray of the sun illuminating from the window of the office cast a warm glow on his face, Maya couldn't help but admire how smart and elegant he looked, his charming eyes were glittering which made him adorable with a domineering aura like that of a king, she shifted her gaze from him as she wouldn't want him to notice that she has been staring at him for too long. Jason sat down and furrowed his eyebrows at her not knowing what to say as he was overwhelmed by her sudden change of heart, just yesterday she was threatening thunder and brimstone and now she was willing to allow him perform his fatherly duties to their son.

The smile on Jayden's cute face was contagious as Jason couldn't get his eyes off him, he smiled so much like him, he was his replica. Indeed blood is thicker than water."Is Mommy going to come with us? "Jayden asked turning to face his father, Jason stuttered a bit not knowing what to say, he didn't want to get his hopes high as Maya didn't seem to want him around, She mentioned earlier that he was only allowed to stick around her house just for Jayden's sake and he couldn't possibly ask her to follow them as that might be overstepping his boundaries. He was about to reply to Jayden when Maya's voice interrupted him"No baby, Mommy has to be in the office for an important meeting, D

"You?"Maya uttered with a growl as she quickly recognized her, she was the lady she saw at Jason's office."What the hell is she doing here?"Maya seethed in anger. It was bad enough she walked in on them almost making out, and now she had the audacity to step her feet into her office, she was surprised on the scene she thought she had walked into as that was typical Jason and his numerous flirts, it was something normal as he clearly hasn't changed, she felt strange as there was something off about the girl, the way she carried herself with an air of superiority as she paced up and down without saying a word.Maya gazed at her without saying a word equally. There was awkward silence, she moved around the office as she finally sat down. The nerves!"She sure has some guts"Maya uttered inwardly as she growled at her waiting for her to state her mission "So you're the bitch that is messing around with my man" She yelled as she finally broke the awkward silence between them. Maya clenched

She sighed knowing that Michael was just a part-time manager who was free to close from work anytime. Maya's thoughts were a jumbled mess as she replayed the events of the day in her mind. Despite her anger and frustration, she couldn't help but smile when she remembered the way Jason had professed his love for her.

"I was hoping we could talk over lunch," he said as waved his hands to bags filled with different foods. Maya took a deep breath, trying to decide what to do.

Jason sat down, his eyes never leaving Maya's face. He brought out the food and they started eating quietly. There was an awkward silence for a moment before Jason spoke.
