~Maya's POV~

I walked into the suite opposite mine, and my vision landed on a well-built husband of mine. He appeared so adorable when sleeping as if he had been greatly distressed. He was sleeping on the edge of the bed without a blanket or anything else to cover himself with. I pulled his dangling legs onto the bed and covered him. He was in a deep slumber, so I chose to sleep next to him. I kissed his lips. Fuck! Can I ever remain angry with this man? The sudden picture of that woman kissing the same lips I had just kissed flooded in. I needed to puke. I hurried into his bathroom while silently wishing that he wouldn't be able to hear me throwing up. After I had finished taking care of my business, I went back inside, and he was still fast asleep. I neared the bed and started to look at him.


Aaah, he suddenly looks like a monkey. Well, hormones, fucking pregnancy hormones!

I was hoping to see a flattering picture of him than seeing a monkey laying in bed, but naaa. I mean, I knew he was a Greek Adonis, so why the hell am I seeing a fucking gorilla now? Well, baby or right, children don't make me see daddy like that, okay? I swear, being pregnant and angry is a terrible mix. I made the conscious decision to push the memory of that woman from the previous day out of my mind and instead focused my attention on him, kissing his forehead and running my fingers through his hair.

'I love you," I murmured. I also wanted to leave a trace that I came to his suite, but I have nothing to leave for him to show him that I'm fine. I am aware that he may be worrying about things that aren't important, but suddenly a dirty thought sprang to mind, and I couldn't help but giggle. Maya Archer, when did you become a pervert? I stood up, removed my thong, and shoved it into his hand. I then gave him a lip kiss and went away. It was already 8 a.m., and I anticipated that Zion would soon awaken. So I requested that Emma and her daughter accompany me. We will have our breakfast at the mall instead. They had no objections. We departed, and I drove them to the shopping center. Thank God Lucas left this car with me. The first thing we did was find them something to wear, as it was still early and there were not many people at the mall who would have stared at them. We first bought what we were going to change to. Even for myself, as I was still wearing yesterday's attire, I purchased a new outfit. We changed into one of the dressing rooms, handed the cashier the receipts, and then departed. Before beginning our shopping, we sought out a restaurant for brunch. I'm just glad that Emma hasn't asked me anything. But there is no way I would let Emma and Sophia be homeless after our encounter. It's crazy. I want to call her mom. I do have a strategy in mind for Emma, and I have no doubts whatsoever that it will be successful. I have no doubt in my mind that Grandma would not object to this. Following our meal, we went shopping.


~Zion's POV~

I fucking fell asleep instead of looking for my wife. I rubbed my eyes with my left hand as I woke up. Who the fuck covered me? Then her scent hit me. Was my wife here? I wanted to remove the bed sheets, but I noticed my hand was clinging to something. I lifted my hand, and I was clinging to my wife's panties. I grabbed the panties so tight and smiled. I got up from bed at lightning speed. 'Maya?" There was no answer. I stuffed the panties into my pocket and went into the bathroom, calling out, 'Babe?" I searched all the rooms and I couldn't find her.


Shit! Why is she doing this to me?

I took the panties out of my pocket and started sniffing them. Fuck! My cock curled up. Fuck Lady Archer. This is torture. Well, since she decided to leave her thong here with me, I might use it to ride solo. I took out the little fascinating thong and placed it in front of my eyes. I stared at it, then smiled and took off my trousers. I placed the thong on top of my curled-up shaft. It's a good thing Lucas isn't here. I went back inside the bathroom and started pumping my cock while her thong was on top of my cock.

What are you doing to me, woman?

I could feel I was close. I removed the thong from my cock and grabbed it with my teeth. It didn't take me forever. I exploded on top of the sink with a groan and a few pants in between. I removed the little thong from my mouth and placed it back in my pocket. I took off everything and took another cold shower to cool myself off. I headed back and changed into some clean clothes. As I was about to walk out of the suite, I remembered that the trousers I was wearing had my wife's sinful little thong. I went back and collected the thong and put it in my pocket and placed my phone in the same pocket and left the suite. I went to the hotel restaurant, and I met my fucking driver sipping coffee like a pro while his master was jerking off inside.

'Where is my wife?" I yelled at him. I know he knows where my wife is. Why else would he be here sipping coffee all relaxed? With one leg on top of the other. He fucking looks like the boss right now, and I am the assistant. He slowly placed his coffee on the table and stared at me.

'Good morning to you too, Master Zion."

Great! Even my assistant has turned against me.

'Lucas!" I barked, and he collected the cup from the table and sipped his coffee. He's lucky! He's extremely fortunate that he has the information that I require; otherwise, he could have fucking regretted his actions. I fixed my trousers and took a seat.

'Double Expresso, make it long." I barked, then looked at the idiot in front of me. 'Where the fuck is my wife?"

'Well, the last time I checked, I no longer had one boss, but two."

'The fuck! Who is your second boss?"

'Ahh, master, you seem to have forgotten that you got married. The Boss Lady told me to zip it, so I will have to zip it." I looked at him. Was he seriously trying to tell me that he was following my little wife's orders?

'Lucas! Do not test my patience. Where the fuck is Lady Maya?"

'The last time I checked, she came to your suite. If you didn't see her, I don't know. You should drink your coffee; old Mr. Archer requested your presence."

No way! Those three elderly people at home will irritate me even more. They treat me as though I am no longer their child, but Maya is. I gulped everything in one go.

'Let's go."

'So, Lady Maya checked in to this hotel and she told me she needed time. She would come back home."

Panties on the ground

~Zion's POV~

Lucas drove me home, and I was greeted by my father, Javier, and his wife, along with my grandparents, on the patio near the pool. I walked up to them but stood far from them. I had no time for my handsome face to be slapped again today. There is no way, no fucking way. I'm getting 3 slaps today. They all looked at me as though I owed them something so important. I stared back at them. I refused to be slapped today. Not happening!

'Where is my granddaughter?" I stared at the woman, asking about her granddaughter as though I wasn't her grandson, but I knew better. If I didn't answer them, they would start making trouble for me. So I thought of the best way possible.

'Lady Archer was with me. I found her late last night, so we decided to sleep at the hotel. She said she wanted to go shopping alone, so I let her go. She will be back soon." I said that and started to look at their faces. They don't look convinced at all. I then dragged my eyes to my cousin, pleading for him to help me, but I knew better. Javier enjoys it when these people scold me. Then I continued, 'If you don't trust me, I can call her for you and tell her that you people are worried about her." I said that, dipping my hand in the pocket to reach for my phone. I took out my phone, but something fell out of my pocket. When my gaze fell on the item that fell from my pocket, my eyes went wide. It was my wife's sinful thong! How could this sinful thing decide to fall in front of my family? I suddenly wanted the ground to open and swallow me. Shit! I have never been embarrassed like this in my entire life. Before I could say anything, my driver, Lucas, made the matter worse.

'That, that belongs to Lady Archer!"

Fuck me!

I turned my gaze to meet those of my family. They were all beaming and obviously speechless, Grandpa looked like he needed some water to process the thong on the ground. Great! This is so fucking great, Maya! I saw them leaving the patio one by one, and it was now me and Javier. That bastard. He probably couldn't wait to laugh at me. He patted my shoulder.

'What happened, cousin?"

'My wife is playing games with me. She walked into my suite and left this sinful thing in my hand while I was asleep." Javier burst out laughing.

'Well, cousin, at least you know she didn't dump your sorry ass. Let me go inside."

I stood on the patio and asked Andrew if her phone had been switched on, but the man said no, the phone was still showing the last location it was the last working.

Lord Archer: Maya, why are you doing this to me? Can't you at least come home so we can talk about it? I'm really frustrated right now. This is torture. I know I messed up, and you didn't deserve to see that. Please come home to me. Please come home so we can talk about it. Do not punish me like this, my love. I can't go another day without knowing you are already. Please.

I added a pleading emoji and sent the message to my wife. I looked like shit. I headed to the bar and took out a bottle of my favorite whisky. I headed to my room and started drinking. I couldn't afford for my family to see how miserable I was. I told them I was with her. If they saw me like this, they would know I haven't seen her since. I drank all my sorrows away.

*******

It was now 4 PM when Maya decided to switch on her phone and called Lucas to come and fetch her. Lucas didn't waste any time. He rushed to the mall, and when he arrived, he was shocked at the bags Lady Archer was carrying around. He started to pick up the bags and Sophia wanted to help, but Lucas stopped her and told her he would take everything inside. Thank God I brought a limo because if not, I don't know where I would put all this, Lucas thought to himself. While he was done, Maya and the two other people were already inside the limo. Lucas knew that Lady Maya hated being treated like a princess. She wanted to do some of the things herself. That is one of the reasons Lucas likes her, as she is not one of those spoiled brats who would be ordering him around. Lucas got into the driver's seat and started the car, heading back to the mansion. When the car arrived, Maya opened the side of her door and came out before Lucas could help her, and she went to the other side of the car to open the door for Emma and Sophia.

'Lucas, can you please help me take these bags to one of the guest rooms? I would like to see Grandma first." As she was about to head in, Grandma Rose rushed to her and gave her a bear hug.

'You really scared me, child. Don't ever do that to us again, you hear me? Why didn't you tell me what happened yesterday? You know I'm always one call away."

'I'm sorry grandma, I will never do that again. I promise." Grandma Rose kissed her brows and rubbed her tummy. Then she looked at her with so much concern, 'It's okay grandma, the baby is fine." Then the woman smiled and caressed her cheeks once more.

'Oh, my. I didn't even notice you brought people with you. Where are my manners? Welcome, dear." Grandma Rose said that as she kissed Emma's cheeks and hug her, then did the same with the little girl. Emma smiled awkwardly and nodded her head. She didn't know what was going on since Maya didn't tell her where they were heading.

'Oh yes, grandma." Maya looked around and saw one of the helpers and called out to her, 'Please take them to Lucas. He would know what to do."

'Alright, Lady Archer." Emma's eyes went wide. Is this the Archer mansion? If they are calling her that, it means the girl at the park is Lord Archer's wife. She couldn't believe that the girl who was freely playing with them and was so humble could be a billionaire. She almost cried. Most billionaires don't even come to parks like the one she was at. Emma almost cried as she was rendered speechless that someone from the Archer residence would pick up a nobody like her and clean her up. But she would ask Maya later why she told them to call her Maya and not by her title. The Archers were royalty. Emma followed the helper. While Maya went with Grandma Rose to her room, she noticed that Grandma Felicia and Gabriella were also in the room.
