Chapter 4 (Mason's POV)Today was the last day before Christmas.Lucky for me, the girls were out again and we were alone at home with Rebecka.Now I needed my best friend to help me put my plan into action.Thank God for once he wasn't a stubborn pain in my ass and agreed to come over right away.Probably because he was as bored as I was without his wife at home.A few minutes later there was a knock at my door surprising me.I was even more shocked when I looked through the peephole only to find Aron already standing on our porch."What did you get some kind of super speed or something? How did you manage to get here in only 2 minutes? I know we live close, but not that close."I was glad to see my best friend smiling more in the past months since he got together with my sister.He deserved all the happiness and I was even more sure about that ever since I found out about his mother and her evil plans.She really was the complete opposite of Aron, and how such a woman could give birt
Chapter 5 (Vicky's POV)If I told you once upon a time I was this bitter hateful girl, I bet you would never believe me.But I was.You could say Aron came into my life at just the right time and saved me from my own destruction.My parents were never in the picture.Sure, I lived with them. They just weren't around.My mother was either sleeping with her new flour of the week or she was looking for him.And my father you ask?Well, to be honest, he did try.He worked 2 jobs, in the summer even 3, and came home destroyed and exhausted but still tried to spend some time with me. But his eyes were empty. Destroyed by my mother's betrayal.When I was only 9 years old he mysteriously passed away.My thoughts are that he was murdered.Probably you wonder why such thoughts…A few weeks before I received the awful news, I overheard him on the phone with someone that didn't sound nice to me at all.So I think my father got tangled up in some not-so-legal businesses and paid the price.Still,
Chapter 6 (Aron's POV)It's finally here.Christmas has arrived!It's going to be the first of many I will be spending with Becky.Ok, also our friends and family but she is a new addition.No Christmas before this one did I have a girlfriend? But now I had a beautiful wife to spend Christmas with.Becky was already at Vicky's restaurant with Rachel and Ana, and the leader, of course, boss lady Vicky.I really want to see how she will manage to turn off her bossy side for one night, even though the girls reassured me she is actually capable of enjoying an evening without bossing people around. So right now, I was waiting for Mason to pick me up. Then we are going to pick up aunt Lizz and off we go to Vicky's place.Mason was for once on time and so far in the day, it all went smoothly.We arrived at Vicky's place only half an hour later.I was away from Becky for only a few hours, but I already missed her.I know I am whipped, but I love things just the way they are right now.I was l
BOOK 3JUST ANOTHER NOTCHAnaI was raised by my mother alone. My father passed away when I was still little.All my life I just wanted to repay my brother and mother all their support.When I finally went to college I never expected to find someone like him there.As cliche as it sounds…it was love at first sight…at least for me.But I learned the hard way, that the man I loved was a complete asshole.Now I returned back home with my tail between my legs.I managed to organize my life back to its previous perfection and almost got over William…But I needed an investor for my business if I wanted to reach my goal.And guess who turns out to be my silent partner? Yes. William the playboy himself.Would I be able to resist him and his advances, or would I become just another NOTCH?****************WilliamI was ready to accept the arranged marriage my parents threw my way, when suddenly Ana appeared in my life.She was perfect and I fell in love.I wanted to tell her about my arranged
Chapter 1 (Ana's POV)It's been almost a year since I "escaped" from college and from him.Almost a year of constant heartbreak and many sleepless nights spent crying.But today was the day.Today I decided to leave the past behind and live in the moment.I had a small business that was about to receive its first promotion on national television and I couldn't wait to see it.Sure I've seen it before, but not on the television for millions of people to see.My best friends were all on board with my project.Well honestly they became a part of my business.Becky was the face of my campaign, since my business was natural beauty products who would better represent it than an ex model?Then there was Rachel. She helped me with phones, papers and numbers.And finally there was Vicky who helped me with all the ingredients I needed for my products.And me? I ran the production and made sure every product was perfect.And right now it was all under control.Or at least I thought it was.Until
Chapter 2 (Will's POV)It was just another day. Nothing special about it really.My mother was bugging me about my impending doom.Otherwise called, my wedding.I and Jasmine used to be best friends once upon a time.But then our parents decided to throw us into an arranged marriage and what shocked me, even more, was Jasmine's willingness to go with their plan.Later on, I realized she had more than friendly feelings for me.But unfortunately for her, I only ever saw her as my best friend and nothing more.I never loved any woman.Sure I had an occasional one-night stand but that was it.I never dated or loved a woman.Until Ana.She broke down all my defenses and walls.And soon after we met for the first time, I fell in love.I fell hard and fast and didn't mind it one bit.She was the woman of my dreams.But as I was gathering my courage to tell her about my arranged marriage, Jasmine dearest decided to show up and fuck with my life.She even admitted everything to me with a smile
Chapter 3 (Ana's POV)Is it normal to be nervous before meeting your investors?Well I know it's normal but I don't know how to describe this feeling.It was nervousness from meeting with them of course but something else was lurking in the depths of my mind as well.I couldn't put my finger on it but it felt like some kind of dread was running through my veins.And I have no idea why I should be dreading this meeting.Well never mind.It was time for me to get ready.My style for today was some but in a way, it was completely me.I chose a white blouse with flowers printed all over it and paired it with my favorite pair of jeans that made my ass look rounder than it really was.And I honestly loved it.Now the only thing left to do was wait for girls to pick me up.Once again they were too enthusiastic to be on time. They came half an hour too early but who was I to judge since my own excitement was over the top?I wanted to see the person that was willing to spend so much money on m
Chapter 4 ( Will's POV)Could I complain about one thing? It was New Year's Eve and I was sitting in the emergency room with a bloody and swollen nose.Hopefully, it wasn't broken.But on the other hand, I didn't have much to complain about.I know I confused you right now.But you see the person that took me to the hospital was no other than Ana.And right now she was sitting next to me and holding my hand like we actually were still together.So in a way, it was not good to be in the hospital on New years eve but as long as she was with me I wouldn't complain at all.And to top it off, we were in the hospital for almost 9 hours already since it was a pretty busy day for the staff.But like I said. I didn't really mind it.As I looked at the clock I realized, midnight was slowly crawling closer."I can't believe Vicky would do that. Sure we didn't end things on the best note, but still, you deserve much better than a broken nose on New YYear'seve. Damn it. I feel so guilty. Do you th
