Coincidentally, I had my birthday yesterday. I just turned 22🥰
Ashley's POVI was lying on the bed in my room. In fact, I had not come out of my room for days. I had the house staff bring food and everything I need to me. My parents were decent enough to give me some time to myself. But that was about to change.A knock came on my door, making me frown."Go away, I don't need you." I responded, thinking it was one of the staff."Ash, open up, we need to talk." It was mom.I ignored her, but she would not give up. She kept knocking, until I got up and opened the door. She walked inside and reclined the sofa facing my bed, while I walked back to my bed."Ash, talk to me.""There is nothing to talk about. You got what you wanted, go away.""Oh, fuck this! I am not going to entertain any more of your tantrums. You are not a child, stop acting like one. What do you want me to do? Force him?" She yelled at me."You could have called off the alliance. He might have a rethink."She shook her head. "He will not. He loves that woman, and he will not be lea
Ethan's POV The next day, I decided to take Chloe and Ari out for our date. Truth was that I still had no idea where we were going, but I know that I would figure it out. I opened the back door for my daughter, before placing her in the seat and closing the door. I then turned to Chloe who was standing beside me. I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me, making her smile. I did not know who moved first, but the next thing I knew, we were kissing. She wrapped her hands around my neck, and deepened the kiss. It felt so damn good, that I was tempted to take it further, or at least do something naughty, but our daughter was watching us, and she would not be taking her eyes off anytime soon. I bit her lower lip lightly, making her pull away from the kiss and just rest her forehead on mine. She looked so beautiful, and I would never get tired of admiring how good she looked. "Do I really have you for myself now?" She asked as if in disbelief. "No Ashley? No your fa
Bonnie's POV Ethan and Myles finally let me go. Apparently, I learnt that Anthony was off my back, because Ethan threatened him that if he makes a single move against me, he would expose his sexual obsession for young girls. A man of his status and reputation would not risk that. I wonder how hurt his ego would be now. Myles offered to drive me home himself. I declined at first as I did not want to trouble him, but he insisted and I agreed. I actually did like it, as I tend to enjoy his company, and I knew that I would miss him. Myles was a man of few words, but I always tried to get those words out of him. "I never really got to know what you do for a living." I asked him after he drove out of the house. "I do a lot of things." He responded flatly, but I decided to push. "Like?" "Farming." "Farming?" I asked, quite taken aback. Not that farming was bad, but I could not picture him a farmer. "I have other businesses too, but I prefer my farm." I just nodded. He was... Interes
Bonnie's POVToday would be my first day going to the academy, and Jeremy offered to drive me."Are you actually going to learn how to make dresses there, because I think you are perfect already."I chuckled. "You can never learn enough. Apart from that, I will have so much opportunity when I want to start up my business fully. You know, I always aim high.""Greed Bonnie, greed."I chuckled. "Call it whatever you like."He glanced my way and smiled at me. "I really wish for you to get what you want, little sister. You have worked very hard for it.""And then I can buy you a house and another car."He rolled his eyes. "Sounds like a plan.""So tell me, Jer, what have you been up to?"Jeremy had a job, but I knew that he had been wanting to quit to start up something else. I had no idea if it was working for him or not. Maybe I was just a horrible sister.He smiled. "When it works out, I will let you know.""Must you keep me in the dark?!" I almost yelled."Be patient. I want this to be
Ethan's POVChloe asked me to let Joshua go, so I did. She thought it wasn't worth it. I believed that the few hits he got was enough though. And I let him off with a warning that I would end his career if he messes with my family again. I planned to do that already, but since Chloe didn't want any of such, I decided against it. I just hoped that he would be smart enough to stay away, because I would ruin him if he dares something funny again.Days rolled by, and everything was normal, going so smoothly. Chloe had once told me that it seemed too good to be true, and even though I told her that it was just her fears, I felt the same way too. I felt like everything became so easy.When had things ever been easy for me? When was the last time I was happy? I was not doing things to please my father at all, just myself, Chloe and Ari. It felt so unreal to me, that I feared that something would come change it soon. I was not used this, used to happiness. I had given up on my own wants, just
Chloe's POVBonnie dragged me into the night club, as I reluctantly followed after her. I didn't plan to come here, but she thought it would cheer me up.I had recently been fired from work, and it had left me feeling a little moody. My boss had asked me to sleep with him, and when I refused, he framed me up and fired me. He spread different rumours, making my colleagues believe that I had tried to seduce him for a promotion.Just before we entered, Bonnie stopped and stood in front of me. She held my shoulders at arms length, and I knew that she was going say something to cheer me up. She was my ever supportive best friend."I brought you here to have fun, to forget about that fucking boss of yours. I know that you really liked the job and it paid you a lot, but with a boss like that, it is not worth it. You will get another one, so fuck him!"I smiled, nodding my head at her. I then decided that I was going to my best to have fun, just so her effort would not be wasted.Bonnie began
Chloe's POVI woke up the next morning to find the man still sleeping. It was even now that I realized that I did not even know his name. I stared at him for a while, and found out that he was one beautiful sculpture of a man. I could easily rate him among the finest I had ever seen.Memories of our night together came rushing into my mind, and I found it shocking to believe that I had actually slept with a stranger, and it was one wild night. I was sure that I would never forget it in my entire life.I tried to get out of the bed gently, so that he would not hear me, but before I came down, he opened his eyes. I found myself staring into them for a moment."Were you going to leave without telling me?" He asked groggily, seemingly displeased."I would have written you a note."He abruptly got up and grasped my wrist. "I don't even know your name.""Chloe. Not like it is very important." I joked.He then allowed me to crawl down the bed, and I quickly began to dress back up.I caught t
Chloe's POV~Five years laterI knelt in front of my daughter who was lying on the hospital bed, my heart hurting. She had been diagnosed of cancer, and I had spent almost every penny I had made on her. Bonnie too had spent almost all the money she was saving to start up her own fashion house on my daughter. It pained me to see her sacrifice so much for me, but it hurt me even more to see my little girl suffer. She did not deserve any of these.I suddenly felt a familiar touch on my shoulder, and I knew that it was Bonnie. "I think it is time you let Ethan know. He might do something. Ariana needs help, and she needs it soon. Her father is a billionaire, it shouldn't be that difficult. He could easily solve all her problems, and Ariana will be free." She persuaded me, and I nodded, knowing that she was making sense.I didn't want to go back to Ethan, because I wanted to raise my daughter on my own at first. But when I had her, I decided to let him know. I believed it would be unfair t
