All Chapters of LOST IN THE BILLIONAIRE'S SCANDAL: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Maya’s PovSami was holding my hand, swinging it gently as we walked. Lee bounced beside me, nearly tripping over her own excitement. Adam walked ahead, carrying a small overnight bag and checking something on his phone.When we settled into the backseat and the driver pulled onto the main road, I turned to the kids.“So,” I said, pretending to sound casual even though my heart beat a little faster, “how would you two feel about taking a trip?”Lee gasped and grabbed my arm. “A trip? Like a real one?” They hadn't seen me put their boxes in the trunk cause I had taken it out through the back door. I wanted it to be a pleasant surprise. “Yes,” I smiled. “We are heading to the airport.”Sami’s head snapped up, eyes wide like I had told him I was taking him to the moon. “We are flying?”“Yes. A small getaway. Just the four of us.”The squeal that came from Lee nearly deafened me. She kicked her little feet so fast they thumped against the seat. When she turned to Sami, her smile grew eve

Maya’s PovThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the silence. Not the heavy kind that comes from fear or waiting, but a soft, golden silence that wrapped itself around the room like a warm blanket. The curtains moved gently with the morning breeze and the sunlight spilled across the floor For a moment, I did not know where I was, then the memories of the day before drifted in. The shocking realisation that this entire island belonged to Adam had not completely sinked in. The way he looked at me in our room when he said let me take care of you.Heat climbed slowly through my body when I remembered that last part.I sat up and rubbed my eyes. The kids were still asleep in their room and the villa was quiet except for the ocean humming softly in the distance. I slid out of bed and stepped onto the balcony.That was when I saw him. Adam stood near the edge of the pool with his back to me. His shirt was open and hanging loosely on his shoulders and his swim shorts clung to h

Maya’s Pov“Relax, Maya,” Adam murmured in my ear. My body listened before my mind did and my shoulders softened. Then his hands drifted lower. Just enough to brush the curve between my back and my waist. His palm pressed lightly over my lower back and my breath broke.A soft moan accidentally escaped and aside the ocean that kept moving, everything else stopped.His hands remained exactly where they were on my lower back, warm against my skin but it seemed like he did not breathe for a second. And neither did I. Heat rushed through my entire body and my eyes closed in embarrassment.Slowly he turned around me until he sat facing me. Close enough that our knees almost touched. He reached up and gently lifted my chin with two fingers and my lips parted helplessly. I bit down lightly on them, flustered and unable to hide it.His voice came low and roughened. “Is it that good?”I swallowed hard but no words came out. I only held his stare. My chest rose and fell with uneven breaths and

CHAPTER 98Maya’s POVSunday came quite fast and we had to return to base. I had had so much fun and honestly, I didn't want to leave. But thankfully, this place was Adam's and we could come back whenever. For now, we had to face real life. The air around the villa felt warm and normally, it soothed my nerves but tonight, it did not land the same way. Something sat too tightly in my chest, an unease I could not shake no matter how many times I tried to reason it away.……..We arrived at our house at early evening and I went straight into making dinner. We were just rounding up dinner when I noticed what was really wrong. Sami was unusually quiet and less clingy. This was not a post-play silence that came after a long day in the sun or the pensive kind either. This was different. He barely touched his food, pushing the pasta around his plate with slow, distracted movements and every few seconds, his eyes lifted towards me and then flicked away too fast, as if he had been caught doin

Chapter 100Maya’s PovLee picked at her food at dinner, chewing slowly. She ate two bites and then pushed her plate away.“My tummy hurts,” she said.“You need to eat a little more,” Adam said, his tone even but distant.She sighed but obeyed, lifting her fork again. Halfway through another bite, she paused, her eyebrows knitting together.“Mama?”“Yes, sweetheart.”Her voice dropped, suddenly quieter. “When Sami was talking before court… he said something.”My heart slowed, then began to pound again. I kept my voice gentle. “What did he say?”She fiddled with the edge of her plate. “He said if he didn’t listen, he would go away forever.”The air in the room shifted and Adam’s fork stilled mid-movement. I did not speak immediately. I did not want her to sense the change. “What do you mean, listen to who?”Lee shrugged, eyes still on her food. “He didn’t say. He just kept saying he had to be good or he would go away.”My fingers curled slowly into my palm beneath the table. Adam lifte
