“Mom, I'm fine. I'm just really worried about you.” Jules said, one hand holding a barely touched popcorn bucket, the other pressing the phone to her ear.

She was seated on the park bench, the late afternoon sun casting golden stripes through the trees, watching Asher lounged on the grass, half-melted ice cream in one hand and chatting quietly with Mitch.

Jules tossed a handful of popcorn toward a couple of greedy birds. “Mom, everything’s okay. Colton’s a pain in the ass, but he’s not that bad a person.” She paused, then smirked. “He’s just a little stupid, that’s all.”

“A little?"

Jules chuckled.

“Jules, that kid went on TV to announce he's been screwing the fiancee of a man as infamous as Nolan.” Her mom said. "What happened to meeting him like a man and telling him the truth?"

Jules chuckled even more, and tossed some more popcorn, lifting her eyes to where Asher and his friend were now playing and running around with spray guns.

She was thankful Mitch's mom had agreed to bring

    Concentrating at work now felt like a chore as Jules tried juggling emails, reports, contracts, and all that, along with the chaos in her head.A lot has gone on in such a short time.From her very confusing conversation with Colton. To Ethan's sudden change in behavior. And there was this thing whispering at the back of her mind about what Cassie had drunkenly said.When she thought hard about it, they all seemed to point in one direction. At the same time, what if she was just over thinking after all the drama with Nolan and Evie?She groaned and slammed the mouse on the desk, her fingers raking her hair in frustration.‘You really shouldn't be doing this, Jules. Stop letting things bother you. Especially not the fact that you and Ethan hadn't spoken to each other in an entire day, even though you both sleep on the same bed.’“Great." She muttered to herself, her eyes moving to the small clock on her table.A knock echoed through the room, and Zee pushed the door open, bearing the l

    "How's this one?” Evie bounced out of the changing room in a Cinderella style wedding gown, her grin never leaving her face.Nolan looked up from his phone, his eyes scanning from her flushed cheeks to the gown—which was really nice but exaggerated the fact that she'd put on some weight.“I like it." He replied simply. Not because that was the one hundredth one she was trying on, but because it truly was nice.“How about this one, Evie." Maggie appeared from within a sea of dresses, holding up a completely different one.Evie's eyes widened, and she hurried over, careful to not stumble and ruin the dress. “Oh, my God." She almost squealed as she took the dress from Maggie and turned to Nolan. “Can I try this one out, please. Last one?" Nolan just sighed. “Knock yourself out." With that, Evie bounced towards the changing room once more, accompanied by a female attendant, drawing the curtain shutMaggie felt satisfied, her grin never leaving her face as she turned back to the dresses,

    Jules' shoes were in her hands when she got down from the car. Her head was throbbing violently, and her eyes were heavy as she stopped herself from replaying how she'd found Cassie.Somehow, that grown ass woman had crawled into Brad's room even in her drunken state.But that wasn't the worst part.When Jules searched the hallway on the floor Cassie had hurried to, she'd stopped at one door which was opened a crack. She'd ignored her instinct and peered through, only to find Cassie on her knees.In the middle of Brad's room.Surrounded by three men naked from the waist down. And she was stroking one of them, ready to commit something that she'd probably regret in the morning.Normally, Jules would have left her there, as that wasn't Cassie's first foursome. But this was different because she was wasted and she was not in her right state of mind. Then in the morning, Jules would have to play the sorry, supportive friend.She really wasn't up for that, so she had to literally drag her

    “Control yourself, Cassie,” Jules warned as they stepped into the building—already swarming with strangers grinding against aroused dicks, with music blasting so illegally loud it made her ears throb. This was definitely not a place she was supposed to be. But here she was. “Maybe it's you who needs to loosen up a bit," Cassie yelled over the music, her body already moving to the rhythm. “Ethan isn't here." “I’m not scared of Ethan." Jules yelled back. “Oh, yeah?" Cassie backed away in her moves and grabbed two shot glasses from a server passing by. She held one out to Jules, a smirk curling her lips. “Prove it.” Jules stared at the tiny glass, then back at the spark in Cassie’s eyes. ‘This is a bad idea.’ her head whispered. ‘You don't drink outside, remember?’ Suddenly, Jules remembered how much of a bad influence Cassie could be at times. But she'd agreed to go out with her, didn't she? What was she expecting—a church service? This was Cassie, and this could b

    "The company from Germany agreed to reschedule, though. Because the manager also can't make it. But he'll be back in the city in two weeks." Jules let out a soft sigh as she fastened her earrings, eyes fixed on her reflection in the mirror.Apparently, her self-imposed break due to Asher’s illness was ending tomorrow—but somehow, the universe wasn’t quite ready to let her return.She was thankful though, because one part of her mind was not as ready, seeing how she'd left things in the office the last time.Anyway, here she was, slipping into her best clothes and trusting Cassie with the location she’d picked for their outing.“...for the others, I'll try making sure they don't reconsider, and all the meetings are held.”Jules had almost forgotten she was still on the call with Zee."Alright, then." She replied. “I'll be there tomorrow." She ended the call.But just as she set it down, it buzzed again.Cassie.She tapped the screen and set it to speaker.“Girl, where the fuck are you

    Jules glanced at the time and switched off the TV just as the cook placed dinner on the table.Refusing to permit her thoughts, she walked over to the table and uncovered the dish.“I don't think I'm hungry." “Really?" The lady said, her accent never failing to sneak in. “Is it the food? I could prepare something else." She added quickly.But Jules just waved her off and put the lid back on. “The food is great. I just don't have an appetite." She walked towards the stairs. I'll go get Asher and Nancy. They'll be happy to eat.”The cook only smiled and shrugged, retreating to the kitchen to finish setting the table."Asher, it's time for dinner.” She pushed open his room but found it empty. Clean and silent. No sign of Nancy, too. “Asher?" Then she heard giggling.She stepped back into the hallway, and turned in the direction of the laughter, walking down the hall till she stopped at Colton's room.Quietly, she turned the handle and walked in. A small smile tugged at her lips.On th
