Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire (Maya and Alex)

-Maya’s POV-

My mind went blank. Everything, the room, the unanswered questions about the break– in, the fear for the twins, all of it just… faded. My body froze in place, stuck in a single moment, unable to react. “What…?” The word escaped my lips in

He stared back at me, his own eyes filled with a sadness that mirrored the cold dread blooming in my gut. “I have tried, Amaya,” he said, his voice thick w like genuine pain. “I really have. But it seems like no matter what I do, it will never be enough.” His words were punctuated by a ragged sigh, a sound of one building in my own chest.

“Enough for what?” I wanted to ask, the question burning a hole in my throat. But the words wouldn’t come. My brain, usually quick and sharp, felt sluggi

“For you to let him go,” he continued, his voice barely above a whisper now. “It’s tiring, Amaya. It’s exhausting, constantly feeling like I’m competing with

“I hate that I’m doing this now,” he mumbled, trailing off. He took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling rapidly. “Please stop crying,” he pleaded, his voice cracking slightly.

I hadn’t even realized the tears were already streaming down my face, hot and silent tracks etching themselves down my cheeks. Suddenly, the image o

What would I do if he wasn’t there anymore?

How would the twins take it, these little people who had come to love him as their dad, even if he wasn’t their biological father?

The thought sent a fresh wave of panic crashing through me.

“Please,” I found myself saying, the word a weak plea escaping my lips. It was the only thing I could process in the face of this overwhelming emotional storm. “Please don’t do this to me. Please, I’m begging you.”

The words felt hollow even as I spoke them, but they were all I had. Didn’t he see how much pain he was causing me? Here I was again, begging a man

“Why can’t you let Alex go?” he asked, his voice laced with a frustration that mirrored my own confusion.

“I don’t know,” I mumbled, the truth a bitter pill on my tongue. Why couldn’t I let him go? The answer was as elusive as ever, tangled in the messy web of

“I thought we had moved past this,” he continued, his voice rising slightly in frustration. “I let down my walls for you, Amaya. I believed you, I shut people

His words hung heavy in the air, a reminder of the vulnerability he’d shown me, the trust he’d placed in my hands. And here I was, failing him again.

“You told me you were falling in love with me,” he sighed the words out like a prayer, his voice dropping back down to a pained whisper. “Why? I thought completely.”

The tears were flowing freely now, a torrent of emotions I couldn’t contain. And through the blurry haze of my own misery, I saw tears welling up in his e

How had it gotten to this point? How had we, two people who cared about each other, reached such a devastating impasse?

The silence stretched, a chasm opening wider with each passing second.

Then, his gaze, sharp and filled with a raw vulnerability, pinned me in place. His voice, a mere rasp, cut through the oppressive silence. “Do you still love

My throat constricted, the air suddenly thick and impossible to breathe. “… I don’t know,” I stammered, the words a pathetic croak against the crushing silence. The truth was a tan

His words were calm, almost clinical, a stark contrast to the storm raging inside me. But the undercurrent of hurt was unmistakable, a raw wound expose to see.

He didn’t wait for a response. With a final, lingering glance that seemed to pierce my soul, he opened the door and walked out, leaving me alone in the sterile pris

The silence that followed was deafening, a physical weight pressing down on my chest. I stood there, frozen in place, long after he had disappeared down the hallway. Tears continued to stream down my face, unchecked and relentless.

My mind raced, a chaotic jumble of thoughts and questions.

Had I just thrown away the best thing that had ever happened to me?

Was my inability to let go of a past relationship a dealbreaker for a future I had so desperately wanted?

The world righted itself slowly. My brain finally processed the earth– shattering words. Before I could even think, my feet were moving, propelled by pure instinct. I yanked the door open, adrenaline surging through me, and
