The Billionaire’s Song - Chapter 39 Accusations

Maya’s POV

“Maya! Have you seen today’s paper??!” Rita bulldozed through the door and came crashing into my office, almost tripping over the Persian rug.

She slapped four different papers onto my desk and covered her face. I grabbed the papers all with asimilar headline and right on the front page were the words every wife dreaded to see:

Music Golden Child Kyle Kinley Accused of ****

The article went into detail about how a model narrated her terrifying ordeal about how my husband came into her dressing room and had his way with her.According to the report he raped her three times but she didn’t make a police report because she was afraid of being intimidated by his wife.

Well..that’s the most unbelievable story that I had ever read in my life..I didn’t believe any of these stories.

“Arrgh! This is just a load of crap! Kyle would never do such a thing,” I snorted and threw the papers aside.

“I know but that’s not what everyone seem to think. It’s all over!” Rita slouched onto a chair.

“Rita-you should know me by now-I don’t care much about what the media has to say about me or my husband. It’s a non-event.” I leaned back into my chair and surveyed the room.

“Yes but this is going to damage his reputation and yours and the company, our brand that we’ve worked so hard to build.” Rita walked around my office, restless.

“Andrew-Please get my PR team to meet me in Conference Room 1 in the next 10 minutes,” I spoke into the intercom. “Also try and contact Kyle’s team and set up a meeting asap.”

“Sure Mrs K. I’m on it.” Andrew replied.

“I’m sorry Maya. This must be hard-considering that Kyle is missing and all.” Rita said sadly.

“It’s handled. I’ve got this.” I assured her.

My iPhone chimed and I looked at the screen. JP.

“Are you behind the article?” I asked.

“I’m sorry. I tried to stop her but it was too late.” JP responded.

“So you set him up?” I tried to keep my cool.

“Yes-but I will get her to retract-”

“You know what’s at stake. Clear your mess and fast!” I snapped.

“Maya I-”

“Save it. I want this issue sorted now! Don’t call me until then.” I clenched my teeth and cut the call.

“What was that all about?” Rita folded her arms and sat across me.

“It was JP. That’s all I can say for now so please don’t press any further.” I looked aside, my mind in turmoil.

“Okay. So what’s do we do now?”

“I’m working on a solution. Just-trust me okay?” I grabbed my MacBookand made my way to the door.

“I wish you wouldn’t shut me out.” Rita said softly.

“I’m sorry but it’s better this way. I’m rushing to a meeting-we’ll talk later.” I turned and left.

The meeting was brief and to the point. We agreed to issue a press statement and nothing else. We would just have to wait for the story to blow over and it would..hopefully.

I dismissed the staff and walked back to my office with Andrew.

“Richard called a couple of times..says it’s extremely important.” Andrew gave me my iPhone.

“Okay, I’ll call him once I’m back inmy office. Did he say what it’s about? Is Madeline okay?” I pushed open my office door.

“He says to tell you Maddie is fine so it’s probably something else.” Andrew placed files on my desk and left.

I sat back at my desk and called Richard. It was answered on the second ring.

“Hey babe.”

Kyle!

“Oh my gosh-Kyle! Is that you???” I stood up and pushed my hair back.

“Yes my love. It is.” I could feel his smile over the phone.

“Oh thank God!” Relief flooded over me as I sank back into my chair.

“You’re coming home?”

“Yes. I’ll be right there. Just don’t go anywhere okay?” We laughed.

I rushed over to Rita’s office to tell her the news and fortunately I found James with her.

“Guys I have just received the best news!” I clasped my hands together.

“Do tell!?” James prompted.

“Kyle is home. He just called me and he’s at home.” My eyes glistened.

“What? How?” Rita rushed over and hugged me.

“I don’t know but I’m going to see he him now. You want to tag along?” I looked at both of them.

“Of cos!” James exclaimed. “We’re taking my car fyi.”

“I don’t care how I get there-I just want to see my husband.” I said softly as Rita squeezed my hand.

“We all know why!” James rolled his eyes.

“Jamie!” I slapped his shoulder.

“Let’s go!” Rita laughed and pushed us out.

James practically flew to my houseand fortunately we were not stopped by traffic cops.He pulled into the driveway and I was the first to jump out of the car.I rushed into the house and almost ran over Maddie.

“Hie Maya!” She hugged me.

“Hie sweetie. You had a good day so far?” I knelt and pushed her hair back.

“Yes. I got to play with the neighbors twins. Can they come for a sleep over? Please?” She batted her blue eyes.

“Yeah sure. Just ask the housekeeper to go over and ask the parents first okay?” I rose up and watched Madeline scurry away.

I felt Kyle’s presence before I saw him. The smell of his cologne invaded my senses and my heart started racing. He came from behind, put his arms round my waist and kissed my hair. I turned around to loop my arms around his neck.We held onto to each other for dear life, not saying anything, just caught up in the embrace.Words were not necessary at this precise moment-we just knew what the other wanted to say and words could hardly express what we felt right now.

“Sorry to break up the emotional re-union but we all missed him!” Jamie moved in for a group hug and Rita joined in.

“Hey! Be careful there-I don’t want you suffocating my wife.” Kyle laughed as he pulled me to his side.

“It’s good to have you back man!” Jamie gave Kyle another smothering bear hug.

“Hey..I’m okay guys. We were about to have supper-shall we?” Kyle grabbed my hand and led us to the patio, where he liked to eat.
