Chapter 61: The Million Dollar Dilemma

**Leylie’s POV**As I stepped into the house, I barely had time to lock the door before Maya jumped on me. “Ley! You’re back! I missed you so much!” she squealed, wrapping her arms around my neck so tight I almost fell.That made me smile for the first time since I stepped out of Matthew’s car. I squeezed her back, feeling the tension in my shoulders loosen just a little. “I missed you, too, girl.”She practically snatched my bag from my hand and pulled me toward the chair. Grace was already on the couch, looking up from her phone with a smile that immediately turned worried when she saw my face.“Come and gist us properly,” Maya demanded, sitting down and patting the seat next to her like I was about to spill the juiciest tea of the century. “Tell us everything that happened in that house. Don’t leave anything out. Not even the boring parts. Especially the boring parts.”I shook my head and collapsed onto the cushions. “Maya, I’m so tired. Can we do this tomorrow?”“No. No. No. Not t

Chapter 62: The Sunday Secret

**Hayes’ POV**"Why did you bring me out here, Matt?"I stared at him across the table. He wasn’t in his usual talkative mood, which was unusual for him. Usually, within five minutes of sitting down, he would make three jokes about the waitress or boast about his latest conquest.Tonight, he was silent and brooding.I had been at home, buried in documents and trying to ignore the emptiness of the house without Leylie and Ava’s laughter, when he called, sounding tense, insisting he needed to talk to me about something urgent.So here we were, sitting at a dimly lit bar on a Sunday night with glasses of expensive red wine in front of us, but the person who had called me wasn’t talking. He seemed deep in thought, his gaze fixed on the glass surface of the table."Matt? Is everything okay?" I prompted.He sat up straight, cleared his throat, then leaned closer until our heads nearly touched. “There is something I need to tell you, Hayes. Something important.”“Well, there is also somethin

Chapter 63: The Refusal

**Hayes’ POV**My head felt twice its normal size, a dull, throbbing ache pulsing behind my eyes. I hadn’t slept a wink. I looked down at Ava. She was sleeping peacefully on her side, her small body curled into a ball under the thin cotton sheet. Seeing her pale face in the morning light only served as a brutal reminder of the night before. Everything had happened so fast. One moment, I was sitting across from Matthew, as he was about to tell me something, and the next, my phone was ringing.Jane was frantic on the other end, her voice cracking as she told me Ava was having another seizure.I didn't remember leaving the bar. I didn't remember the drive home. I only knew that I had covered the distance in record time, my heart in my throat.I reached out and brushed a stray lock of hair from her forehead, my eyes filling with a rare sting of tears. She was so young. Why did she have to suffer so much? She didn't deserve any of this. The door creaked open behind me, and a ray of light

Chapter 64: The Two-Million-Dollar Handshake

**Leylie’s POV**“Are you… by any chance… afraid?” Hayes asked, his voice dropping low, a vibration that seemed to move right through my skin. “Are you afraid that if you say yes, you’ll actually fall for me?”The second the words left his mouth, my heart stopped. I felt the blood drain from my face, and I couldn’t help but take a step back. My hands clenched into tight fists at my sides, nails digging into my palms until they stung.How did he figure me out? Was I that obvious? Could he tell the way my pulse raced every time he walked into a room? Was the attraction written all over my face like a neon sign?I had spent the last week trying to hide it, trying to act normal, trying to breathe when he was near, and in one sentence, he ripped the bandage away.“What? Of course not,” I tried to say. I wanted to sound indignant, cold, and professional. Instead, the words came out weak and breathy, sounding pathetic even to my own ears.My throat felt tight, like I was choking on the lie.

Chapter 65: The First Appearance

**Hayes’ POV**I pushed open the door to Ava’s room, expecting to find her resting. Instead, I saw her sitting on a small stool while Leylie stood behind her, carefully braiding her hair.Her head was tilted back, eyes closed, a smile on her face as Leylie’s fingers moved softly through the hair. The room smelled like baby shampoo and a hint of vanilla from Leylie’s perfume. "Ava," I said, stepping into the room.Her eyes flew open. Her face lit up like someone had flipped a switch. She immediately reached out for my hand, small fingers wrapping around mine as I sat on the edge of her bed. She tugged me closer, then looked up at me with those large, serious eyes.I cleared my throat. “Ava, I need to talk to you about something.”She waited, staring at me patiently.“How would you feel if Leylie stayed here? Not just as your nanny, but as… part of the family? If she became my wife?”Her eyes widened. She froze for a second, then shot off the stool, almost tripping over her own feet i

Chapter 66: The Ghost of the Past

**Leylie’s POV**I was nervous. No, that doesn’t even cut it. I was literally shaking inside, my knees feeling like they might buckle at any moment. Why did I agree to this? Was it too late? Could I run back to the car?The only thing keeping me standing was the hand around my waist.I rarely attended events like this with Finnian, but when I did, I always felt invisible; he never stayed by my side. Most of the time, it felt like he only carried me along to watch him flirt with other women. I had spent years being the shadow behind a man who didn’t want to be seen with me.But right now, as I stood beside Hayes, the difference was so clear. The camera lights flashed all over us, white and blinding, and my lips were curved in a practiced smile. I realized then that Hayes was nothing like Finnian. He stood beside me, his body angled toward mine, shielding me from the crowd. His arm was firm around my waist, not possessive in a controlling way, but protective—like he actually... cared.

Chapter 67: The Confrontation

**Leylie’s POV**The room suddenly felt too small and too hot at the same time. My mouth went dry as the scent of Finnian’s cologne, the same one he always wore, hit me hard. It was the smell that used to make my stomach twist with dread, the one that announced he was home and I was about to pay for whatever mood he was in.I could feel Hayes tense beside me. His hand tightened on my waist, pulling me firmly against his side. He stepped half in front of me, his broad shoulders forming a wall between the man who had spent four years breaking my spirit piece by piece and me.I looked at the back of Hayes’s head and then at Finnian’s shocked face. I realized in that moment that I had to get over this fear. Finnian had made my life a living hell, and he had no right to stand there looking at me like I was his property. He had no right to ask me anything.This was the perfect time to show him I was done. Not just done, but moved on to someone he could never hope to be.I stepped forward,

Chapter 68: The Point Of No Return

**Hayes’ POV**What the hell was Nicole doing here?I felt my jaw tighten the moment I saw her walking toward us. Nicole was Melissa’s best friend, always too close, always too bold, always too willing to fill the space my wife had left behind. I had shut her down years ago, but she never quite got the message.“Hi, baby,” she purred, reaching out to trace a red fingernail down my arm. Her eyes were locked on mine as if Leylie didn’t exist. It was typical Nicole: bold, intrusive, completely lacking any sense of boundaries.I didn’t pull away immediately. Instead, I tightened my grip on Leylie’s waist, pulling her against my side, her body warm and soft against mine.I glanced down at her and saw her eyes narrow at Nicole, brows knitted together, lips pursed in a thin line. The look was pure fire—jealous, possessive, and so fucking sexy it made my blood run hot.“Who is she, Hayes?” she asked, her voice sharp, edged with a bite I hadn’t heard before. She sure knew how to play the poss

Chapter 69: The Price of the Truth

**Hayes’ POV**She gasped against my mouth, her hands flying up to grab my shoulders. I didn’t give her a second to think. I kicked the door shut behind us, the sound echoing in the quiet hallway, and pressed her back against the wood. My hands slid down to her hips, fingers gently digging into the silk of her dress. I kissed her with a desperation that had been building since I saw her on those stairs. She moaned softly, the sound vibrating against my lips, as she instantly parted for me. My tongue met hers in slow strokes, tasting her, exploring her, and she responded with equal hunger.I groaned softly, one hand rising to grasp the back of her neck as I tilted her head to deepen the kiss. My other hand slipped through the high slit of her dress, reaching her bare thigh. Her skin was smooth, warm, and trembling beneath my touch. I traced higher, my breath catching as I brushed the edge of her lace panties, noticing she was already soaked."Leylie," I breathed against her lips, voic

Chapter 70: Shattered

**Leylie’s POV**The bright morning light filtered through the curtains, dancing across my eyelids.I stretched my arms high over my head, my whole body heavy and warm, buzzing with the kind of satisfaction I had never experienced before.Every muscle ached in the best way, a reminder of last night, of Hayes’s hands, his mouth, and how he made me feel like I was on cloud nine.Last night was, without a doubt, the best night of my life. It wasn’t just the sex, though that was on another level. Sex with Finnian had always felt like a chore, a duty I had to perform while he chased his own pleasure. But Hayes… Hayes had been different. He worshiped my body. He was hungry for me in a way that made me feel seen, cherished, and alive. He touched me as if he was memorizing every inch of my body, whispering my name like it was something sacred.He had made me feel beautiful, wanted, and needed, and for the first time in my life, I had enjoyed sex and reached climax twice in one night.A wide,
