She spends her time trying to be a devoted wife but is constantly shunned by her husband. Will Jason stop fighting his feelings and accept that he was bound to fall in love with her? Will his past make or break their marriage? Will Maya stay with Jason despite the trauma or will it be too much to handle?
View MoreJason had finally gotten home. As soon as he entered, he could hear Celia yelling from across the house. He was sick of hearing her yap about everything. "Where the fuck were you, and why weren't you answering your phone!?" She yelled. Jason took his shoes off at the door and walked into the kitchen. Celia followed behind him, yelling, but he couldn't make out what she was saying. All he could think about was Maya. "Answer me when I'm talking to you!" Celia shouted and pushed him. Jason turned around to face her before he spoke. "I was with Maya." He answered, staring into her eyes. Celia crossed her eyebrows and let out a loud breath. "So you're cheating on me then?" She asked. Jason shook his head no and drank his water. "We're not together, Celia.""What do you mean, JJ?" She asked in shock. "You're just carrying my child. That's the only reason you're still around. Which reminds me, you need to move back into your old apartment. I can't take your constant bitching and moaning.
"When am I going to see you again?" Maya asked with her arms wrapped around Jason. She didn't want him to leave, but knew he had work to do."I'll pop in tonight and spend one more night." He said and kissed her temple. "I'll have to leave tomorrow, though." "Jason, please don't kill Giovanni. What's going to happen to Gabriela?" Maya asked and let go of Jason. Instead of responding, Jason kissed Maya on her lips and walked out. Maya went to Gabriela's room to wake her up for breakfast. She didn't know what would happen to Gabby if Jason did anything to her father. "Wake up, sleepy head," Maya whispered and shook Gabby. She slowly opened her eyes and tried to adjust them to the brightness. "Where's daddy?" She mumbled and sat up. "He had to get some work done. I'm not sure when he will be back." She lied. How else was she supposed to tell a four-year-old her father was probably being tortured to death?"Okay." She yawned. Gabriela got out of bed and followed Maya to the bathroom,
"Giovanni, I don't want to see you right now," Maya said as she opened the door. "I know, I know. It's just that Gabriela wanted to see you. She's sitting in the car." Giovanni knew Maya had a soft spot for Gabriela, so he used it against her. He wasn't proud of it, but he had to do it. After being threatened by Jason, Giovanni felt the need to get revenge. He knew exactly how he would do it. Giovanni could see Maya's eyes fill with tears, but he didn't care anymore. "That's not fair, Giovanni. Why would you bring her here knowing I never wanted to see you again." Giovanni shrugged and walked towards the car. He took Gabriela out of her car seat and placed her on the ground. Gabriela locked eyes with Maya and ran towards her with open arms. Maya struggled to bend down because of the size of her belly. She bent down enough to pick Gabriela up and hugged her. "Go on inside and watch TV. I want to talk to your daddy about something, okay?" Maya said and kissed her on the cheek. Maya
"Mr King, I didn't mean to." Giovanni was silenced by a punch to his cheekbone. Jason wiggled his hand to get rid of the pain before stepping back. "What were the instructions I gave you?" Jason hissed. "You told me never to touch your wife." Jason walked towards the big window in his office and stared out into the city. He gulped the whiskey down and turned to face Giovanni. "And what did you do?" Jason asked as he neared Giovanni. "I touched your wife," Giovanni whispered with his head down. Jason took Giovanni's chin between his fingers and chuckled. "If I wanted to, I could kill you right here. You know that, right?" Jason said calmly. "Yes, sir." Jason walked back to his desk and sat in his chair. "New plan. You're going to go back to Maya and look after her. Try and get back into her good books. She'll let you in. I know she will. She's way too forgiving." Jason sighed before continuing. "You'll take care of her until she gives birth, then leave. I don't want her alone du
"What happened, Maya?" Skyler asked as soon as she entered the house. Right after Giovanni left, Maya called Skyler and begged her to come over. Without hesitation, Skyler drove up to Maya's house with an overnight bag. Since she was pregnant, she wanted to stay the night to ensure she got enough rest before driving back. "It's Giovanni." Maya wiped her tears with her sleeve. Skyler wasn't sure what Maya meant, but she pulled her into a hug and gently rubbed her back as she waited for her to speak. A few minutes went by before Maya pulled away. "What did he do, Maya?" Skyler asked softly. She moved a strand of Maya's hair behind her ear and lifted her chin. "Maya, talk to me. Please." Skyler sighed. "He lied to me. This whole time, I thought he was fine with me being pregnant, but he told me no man wants to raise another man's kids." Maya paused before taking another breath. "Then he returned a while later and told me he was sorry. We began making out till he got a phone call. Whe
"I missed you," Maya said, and kissed Giovanni on the neck before moving up to his lips. Giovanni let out a shaky breath as he kissed her back. Maya moved her hands down to Giovanni's belt, trying to remove it. His eyes shot open, and he stepped away from her. "Sorry, Maya. I can't do this." Maya raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "Maya? Since when do you call me that?" Giovanni scratched the back of his head and took a deep breath. "This isn't going to work for me, Maya. I'm just here to fetch Gabriela." Maya felt her heart drop at his words. "What do you mean it won't work out?" She asked as she fought back her tears. "I mean, you're pregnant with someone else's children. No man would want to raise another man's kids!" He yelled. Giovanni regretted what he said the second it left his mouth. Maya could no longer hold her tears in. Her tears began running down her cheeks as she stepped away from Giovanni. "Mami, shit. I didn't mean that, I'm sorry." Giovanni stepped closer
"JJ, I feel sick." Celia wined as soon as Jason got home. Jason decided to accept that she was carrying his child, but after learning that Maya was pregnant, he wasn't sure how he felt anymore. He didn't even know if the kids were his, but he prayed they were. As much as Jason didn't want any kids, he was willing if it meant getting Maya back. Ever since she left him, he had been working on himself. He didn't approach Maya when he learned where she lived because he needed to better himself first. Jason didn't want to hurt Maya anymore. He was willing to do anything to get her back into his life. "Not now, Celia." Jason huffed and threw himself onto the couch. Celia walked over to him and sat on his lap. She ran her fingers through his hair before kissing him on the lips. Jason pulled back from the kiss, which is something he never does. He was determined to get Maya back this time, and nothing would stop him. "Why do you keep acting like this?!" Celia yelled and got off of him. "
It has been a week since Maya told Liam and Skyler about her pregnancy. They promised they wouldn't say a word to Jason. "Do you have to go?" Maya sighed with her arms wrapped around Giovanni's neck. "Yes, Mami. I'll be back in a week, and thank you again for agreeing to watch Gabriela." "It's no problem at all." Maya smiled. Giovanni turned to Gabriela and bent down to his knees before he hugged her. "You should be good to Maya, okay? Don't be naughty." Gabriela hugged her father back while nodding. Giovanni got up and kissed Maya on the cheek before he left. Once he closed the door, he pulled out his phone and clicked on a contact number. "Are you on your way yet?" A deep voice asked through the phone. "Yes, sir. She doesn't suspect a thing." With that, Giovanni got into his car and drove out of town. He felt awful for what he was doing, but needed the money to help look after his daughter. ******** "So, what would you like to do today?" Maya asked Gabriela aft
Maya woke up at 6:30 AM and stretched her arm out. She didn't feel Giovanni in bed, so she sat up and looked around the room. Maya walked out the bedroom and heard soft music coming from the kitchen. "Merry Christmas," Maya whispered. Giovanni looked up and saw Maya standing in front of him. "Shoot, go back to bed. I wanted to bring you breakfast in bed before I wake Gabby up." "I don't mind eating at the table, Gio," Maya told him. Giovanni knew there was no chance Maya would go to bed, so he agreed. Maya went to the bathroom to freshen up before she returned. Once she returned, Giovanni gave her a stack of pancakes with syrup. They sat on the couch and had a quiet breakfast together. Giovanni could tell Maya was uneasy about what happened last night. "Mami, I know you're still upset about last night and-" "I really don't want to talk about it, Gio. You said you don't want to, so I won't force you." Giovanni put his plate down and did the same with Maya's. He faced her and t
