CHAPTER 14

Mae woke up at around 5 am. After recalling last nights event, her blood felt awake and looked at her side.

"Crap!" she muttered and tried to carefully get out of bed.

"Where are you going?" Jayce groggily said and pulled her back in bed and hugged her from behind, his head buried on her neck.

"Uhm, my room?" she whispered. she felt Jayce kiss her shoulder.

"You are in your room," he replied and pulled the sheets closer. Mae felt Jayce's warm body shift closer to her.

"This is so wrong..." she said and tried to remove Jayce's hand,

"What's wrong?" he asked, Mae was confused, her feelings towards Jayce was getting stronger every stinking day and now she just did the unthinkable... She had sex with him!!! She's conflicted between the prenup agreement and the fact that she enjoyed sharing an intimate night with Jayce.

"I think I owe you a hundred billion," she replied, Jayce chuckled and rolled over so he's on top of her.

"We owe each other a hundred billion," he replied and kissed her softly... Mae couldn't seem to control herself and responded to the kiss,

Jayce kissed her deeply and passionately until they both stopped to catch their breath.

"What are we doing?" Mae asked him, Jayce looked at her, he too was confused with their relationship. He promised himself he'll never fall for this girl, but in a short span of time he was swayed by Mae's character.

"Good question... but, I think you and I both know that we don't have an answer," he replied and laid beside her.

"So we both breached the contract..." she said while looking at the ceiling. From her peripheral view, she saw Jayce nod and smile.

"Well it's no fun if we stick to the rules right?" he said, "besides we won't break any rules if you just told me what happened three years ago." he added.

"So... you're telling me it's my fault?!" Mae suddenly got up. Jayce caught her on time and pulled her back in bed. She fell on top of him.

"If you just told me, I wouldn't get drunk and we wouldn't have sex!" He replied while rolling her over. The sheets fell to the floor exposing two beautiful naked bodies.

Mae was speechless, she turned red in the face and was at the brink of crying. How the f*ck is this my fault?! She thought.

Jayce saw Mae looked scared and took a deep breath to calm down.

"Sorry," he said and got out of bed, he picked up Mae's robe and placed it on top of her. She quickly wore her robe and ran out of the room. She didn't care if her body ached because of their 'exercise' last night. She just wanted to get out of there.

"MAE!!!" Jayce shouted but Mae ran out already, he felt guilty of getting angry at Mae over something that happened in the past.

He didn't know what to feel anymore. He shared an intimate night with her and now he's mad. He's confused about his feelings, he didn't know if it was the alcohol or he's just losing his mind over Mae.

He walked back and forth the bedroom trying to figure out what to do next. He heard Mae's door slam shut so he knows she's leaving. He opened his door and saw Mae rush down the stairs.

"MAE!" he called but Mae didn't look at him, she just rushed out the door and got inside a cab.

Jayce felt more frustrated, how could he do something stupid? he thought.

Just then his phone rang and saw Alice's number.

"What do you want?" he asked immediately.

[I want you back!] Alice replied and started saying how he shouldn't be with Mae, or how he's better off with her and not Mae.

"I don't have time for this!" he replied, his tone was angry. Alice chuckled like a lunatic.

[Don't you want to know the truth about three years ago?] she flirtatiously asked, Jayce was disgusted with Alice's style of putting him in a difficult situation. But...

Mae knows something right? What if I just ask her nicely? He thought.

"I don't need to know," he replied, he hoped to God that his plan will work, if not, he's afraid of what Alice might do.

[Oh? Did Mae tell you already?] she asked, a hint of anger was heard in her voice.

"She was about to, but last night was... you know... a good night to be... intimate," Jayce replied in a very playful voice,

[YOU HAD SEX WITH HER?!] She shouted, he can feel Alice fuming with anger.

He didn't want to stress himself more and ended the call.

Meanwhile, Mae was trying her best not to cry the whole time while leaving the house and getting to work. She was scared when she saw Jayce got mad for the second time. She kept convincing herself that it was his hangover talking.

How could she tell Jayce something from three years ago? It's not her place, and even if she knows exactly what happened how could she tell him the truth, wouldn't that hurt him more? She thought...

[Mae? Can we talk? I'm really sorry about this morning...] Jayce texted her. Mae felt her heart almost leap out of her chest.

"Ok..." she replied.

[Meet me at my office, 3pm] Jayce replied.

Mae thought about it and weighted the pros and cons of telling Jayce the truth. It was after all Alice's deepest secret, but will Jayce believe me? She thought. Alice is a manipulative woman, she could twist anyone's words and make everyone believe her without much effort.

When Mae got into her office, Alice was already there in her office waiting for her.

"You had sex with Jayce?" she immediately said which shocked Mae. How the hell did she know? Did Jayce say something? She realized Jayce might have been put in a difficult situation so he has to say something.

"So what if we did?" Mae replied and sat on her chair.

"How could you?!" she asked like she's gonna go crazy.

"Isn't that what husband and wife do?" Mae replied, Alice broke the vase on top if Mae's table and marched towards Mae, Mae was ready to be slapped, she didn't care.

"If you tell him what happened three years ago, I will tell the whole city that you stole him from your sister," she threatened. I smirked.

"I'd like to see you try," Mae replied and smirked,

Alice let out a shriek and walked out her office.

Mae gave an evil smile, the demons Mae kept locked up for a long time is slowly creeping out of her.
