Chapter 66Maya gasped as she realized what had just happened between her and Owen. It was as if her eyes were clear now, and she knew she kissed Owen. She took a few steps backward, staring at Owen. She was caught with the sofa, and she fell on it. She heaved a sigh as she sat on the sofa, holding onto her head with her hands as she went deep in thought about what she had just done. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart as it pounded hard in her chest as if it were about to explode.Owen could only watch her as she stepped backward, falling on the couch. He contemplated whether to meet her and talk to her or not. He heaved a sigh as he finally decided to go and talk to her about it.“Maya!” He called out softly as he sat slowly beside her, but she heaved a sigh, raising her head to gesture to Owen that she was not interested in his talk. Owen leaned forward again, this time, bringing his mouth closer to her ears to whisper, but she stood up immediately and went insi
Chapter 67Maya stood up from the bed and quickly changed into the outfit she wanted to wear for the date. She looked all nice and beautiful as she stood in front of the mirror, admiring her beauty. She went out of her room to the sitting room and stood there in shock as her gaze suddenly fell on Owen, who was watching television. He was so engrossed in it that he did not notice when she entered the sitting room. Maya made up her mind to talk to him, even if he did not want to speak with her after last night's encounter.“Good afternoon Owen.” She said as she walked towards him, he tilted his head, surprised that she greeted him, but it was not evident on his face that he was surprised.“Good afternoon Maya.” He said as he tilted his head back to concentrate on what he was watching. Maya stood there, thinking of what to say next, but nothing was coming forth. She expected him to ask her why she had dressed nice or why she was not at work by this time, but he did none of that. He only
Chapter 68Owen glanced at himself in the mirror in his room, it was finally the day for Martin's trial and he would give nothing to attend the trial, he wanted him to know he lost and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. He stepped out of his room and saw Maya, she was dressed and he thought she was going to the hospital. "Are you leaving for the hospital?" he asked "No, I will go to the court with you"Maya replied and Owen wasn't really sure about that. "Are you sure you want to go with me, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable" he said and Maya laughed "I can assure you that I will be fine, let's go," she said and walked out of the house, Owen had no choice but to give up and leave the house with her, they went inside the car and the ride to the court was filled with silence.

You will see him there” the nurse replied and they walked away immediately. They went inside the room and pushed the door open, they saw the doctor attending to him and luckily he wasn’t hurt like they had thought. “You are here,” the doctor said with a smile on his face.“Yes, is he alright?” he asked “Of course he is but I would like to talk to you in my office,” the doctor said and walked out of the room, Hayden went with the doctor and they both went to his office.“You wanted to see me,” Hayden said as he took a seat. “Yes, it’s relating to your uncle, he had a high sugar level so he is suffering from diabetes, it will take a while for his injuries to heal and I also want you to take care of him, we know accidents are unplanned unfortunate events but it will be great if you can help him, to prevent further accidents that can cause inj

Hayden's revelation had hit him like a thunderbolt, leaving him stunned and unable to comprehend the weight of the truth. He couldn't shake the feeling of disbelief that enveloped him.

It was a concept that seemed unfathomable, yet here he was, grappling with the reality of Hayden's situation.As he stared blankly at his computer screen, Owen's thoughts raced, desperately seeking answers to the questions that plagued him.

Chapter 72Maya sat down in her office in the hospital, thinking about how things had turned out to be between her and Owen, even to the point of having sex with him. She could not deny the fact that the sex was great, but she still felt uneasy when she thought about it. She heaved a sigh as she leaned backward to rest her back on her swirling chair. Everything replayed in her head as if she were watching a movie that she had watched before. She could not get her mind off Owen, and it made her heart rave faster, as she could not help it.Hayden on the other hand, in his house, could not take his mind off Maya and planned on taking her out on a second date. He noticed the first one did not go the way he had wanted and planned to make it right this time. He paced around his room slowly, thinking of how to ask her on a date again. He heaved a sigh as he leaned against the wall, thinking how beautiful she was and how he could not wait to have her all to himself. He grinned at the thought
Chapter 73Owen sat in the living room, watching TV and laughing. His mind suddenly wandered off to the recent happening between him and Maya. He shrugged it off as he did not want to think about it. He continued to focus on the TV and suddenly, his phone started to ring, grabbing his attention. He looked through the caller ID and saw that it was his uncle. He quickly lowered the volume of the TV to pick up his call, but before he could, the call had ended, and he decided to return the call. Just as he was about to dial the number, the call came in again, and he picked up at once.“Hello, sir.” He said immediately he picked up the call and placed the phone on his ear. “How are you, Owen?” Mr. Reynolds asked, and Owen nodded his head slightly as if Mr. Reynolds could see him.“I am fine, sir, and you?” He asked him, and Mr. Reynolds cleared his throat.“I am fine. Are you home?” He asked.“Yes sir. I am home.” Owen replied as he tilted his head to watch the television. He smiled at wh
