Maya POV

"Ethan, please" I pleaded for the millionth time. We were sitting in his car outside of the guest house, which was occupied by Grayson, his wife, and their fetus. Evelyn wanted to see me for some reason and my mother was forcing me to go.

"It's not up to me, your mother asked that I escort you. I don't like this any more than you do, there are much better things I could be doing than being your chauffeur" he scoffed gripping the steering wheel.

"What if she knows about the affair? What if she kills me?" I stalled sitting back in the leather seat.

"You can take on Evelyn, I don't think that woman has fought a day in her life" he scoffed.

"I can't face her" I mumbled looking down at my lap.

"Just go in there find out what she wants and leave" he sighed.

"Fine" I huffed getting out of the car.

I walked up the stone walkway towards the wooden door. After ringing the doorbell and waiting a couple seconds the door swung open revealing a shirtless, sweaty Grayson. Why are you doing this to me god?

"Maya" he gave me smile, biting his lip as he looked me up and down. Lord help me please.

"I'm here to see Evelyn" I informed him confidently making his smile drop.

"Why?" He asked quickly.

"I-" I began but was cut off by a bubbly voice.

"Maya!" Evelyn appeared. "Let her in graygray" I slightly cringed at her nickname for him.

He stepped aside letting me in, I hugged her pressing my cheek against hers making a kissing sound.

"I'm glad you're here, I need your help" she smiled at me. Aside from her snobby rich people comments she was actually a decent person she was always so nice and bubbly which made me feel even shittier.

"With what, exactly?" I smiled widely at her.

"Well the baby shower of course, aside from Emily and Mrs. Grace you're the only other girl around here that does these kinds of things" she informed as we sat on a white couch, Grayson sitting on the one opposite of us.

"Grayson, honey, why don't you go shower. Your sweating all over the couch" she gave him a sweet yet menacing smile.

"Baby, Id rather sit here and help the two of you plan" he smiled grabbing her hand. Lies, he just wanted to stay and make sure I didn't blab about the affair.

"Grayson it's a white couch it'll stain" I let out a fake giggle.

"Yes, go shower" she playfully demanded, slapping his butt as he got up to walk away.

"So, shall we get started" she smiled grabbing a thick binder from the coffee table.

"Isn't it a little early for a baby shower?" I asked tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Well I'm already two months, so why not start early?" She giggled. "Besides it's going to be a gender reveal"

"Two whole months?"

She nodded.

"Wow" she was carrying his child while I was riding him, amazing.

"Yeah, it's all so exciting" she squealed. "Grayson's been really excited though" oh, god.

"He's been talking to my stomach and everything" she giggled. It warmed my heart that Grayson was this attached to his child, but it also broke my heart that it's her and not me.

"I hate to cut this little session short, but I have a training session" I lied. I got up along with her.

"Oh well, when can you stop by again" she smiled placing the binder back on the perfectly decorated coffee table.

"I don't know, just call me and we can set a date" I fake chuckled.

"I'll definitely do that" she showed me her pearly whites.

Grayson POV

After a quick shower I got dressed quickly into some sweat pants and a t shirt not bothering to style my hair.

As I walked down the hallway I heard the front door closing. As I walked into the foyer I was met with Evelyn.

"Sup eve" I smiled placing my hands on her hips.

"Hey baby" she smiled pecking my lips.

"What was Maya doing here?" I asked pretending like I didn't care even though I really did.

"Like I said, she's helping me with the baby shower" she informed while she straightened my shirt.

"Don't you have Emily or Mrs. Grace for that" I really didn't want her around Maya.

"Yes but they both have old tired ideas, I like maya she's fun and adventurous" two things I loved about Maya. "What, don't you like maya?" She looked up at me.

"No, she's cool. I just feel like Emily is better at these things" I reasoned.

"Yes but-"

"Mr. Grayson" our butler Harold appeared.

"Mr.Grace is on the phone for you" he informed us. Thank god.

"Duty calls, sorry baby" I pecked her lips before walking over to Harold taking the phone. I walked into the study closing the door making sure eve wouldn't hear.

"Sir" I responded into the phone.

"Come to my office now we have a situation" he explained vaguely before hanging up. I sighed.

-

I entered Arthur's office finding, Jose, Tyler, Arthur, Carlos, Ethan, and Jeff; all with stern faces.

"Sorry for being late, Evelyn and the baby, ya know" I chuckled.

"We have a situation" Arthur boomed, I could tell he was extremely angry.

"One of our prisoners escaped last night, how? I don't know. But I think one of you do" he sat in his big chair intimidating the rest of us.

"How are you sure it was one of us?" Carlos asked clearing his throat.

"Because you six, Besides me are the only ones that knew he was here, so I'll ask only once. Who was it?" We all stayed silent.

"Sir" Ethan spoke up. "With all due respect, I don't think either one of us could, or would ever betray you"

"Yeah sir, we owe you our lives, we wouldn't do this" Carlos spoke up, Arthur looked at him and Carlos stepped back. "Sir" he cleared his throat.

We were all silent afraid of Arthur's next words. He let out a loud laugh making us jump.

"I knew you boys wouldn't do that" he laughed, but then got serious. "Tyler, Ethan I want you two find out who did this, Carlos and Jeff, talk to our moles find out where he came from and who he is, Grayson watch my daughter, if it was inside job I need her safe" we nodded before he dismissed us. As we walked out Ethan pushed me up against a wall fisting my shirt.

"Deny the job" he growled. I pushed him off of me.

"I'm not going to do anything to her!" I defended.

"I don't believe you" he said through gritted teeth.

"You don't have to, but I'm taking the job" I scoffed before walking past him making sure to bump his shoulder.
