CHAPTER 301: But Phases Don’t Last Years

Penulis: Lady Sheldon
last update Tanggal publikasi: 2026-06-18 23:44:46

I don’t know why.

Maybe because my mother had spent so many years trying to convince the world—and herself—that Noah Ashford was nothing. And here he was, already treated like nothing by the very people who were supposed to love him. Or maybe it was the mystery of it.

Whatever the reason maybe, I found myself being infatuated by him.

I opened a new tab. Then another and searched old high school records, archived social media, news articles and after hours of digging, I did find fragments.

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 301: But Phases Don’t Last Years

    I don’t know why. Maybe because my mother had spent so many years trying to convince the world—and herself—that Noah Ashford was nothing. And here he was, already treated like nothing by the very people who were supposed to love him. Or maybe it was the mystery of it. Whatever the reason maybe, I found myself being infatuated by him.I opened a new tab. Then another and searched old high school records, archived social media, news articles and after hours of digging, I did find fragments. A mention in a police report from seven years ago with charges dropped when Ashford legal team arrived. A blurry photo from someone’s old Instagram story, Noah in the background at a club, head thrown back in a laugh that didn’t reach his eyes. A single line in a business journal from when he was twenty: “Noah Ashford, once considered the future of Ashford Holdings, has reportedly stepped away from college to pursue independent interests.”Independent interests. That could mean anything, drugs,

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 300: This Was Exciting

    RILEY°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･I have never met Noah Ashford. But I know him. I know him in the way you know the lyrics to a song you’ve never been allowed to play out loud, every verse, every silence between the notes, and every single fucking jagged edge that was never meant for anyone else to hear. And I’m pretty sure there isn’t another person on this planet who knows him the way I do. Not even his own father. My mother used to say his name like it was both a prayer and a curse which I sometimes wonder if both were actually the case. She worked for his father, Gage Ashford, for years as his secretary, the woman who fetched his coffee and filed his secrets and smiled like her life depended on it. Which, in a way, it did. She was hardly ever home, and when she was, the apartment smelled like her expensive perfume, which I could never stand. She’d kick off her heels, pour whatever liquor we had into a glass, and talk. Always about him. Gage. The empire he built with blood, the way he looke

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 299: We… Were Being Followed

    I felt a sudden, sickening lurch deep in my gut, like the floor had vanished under me and I was plunging through empty air. A cold twist followed, sending a sharp ripple of nausea up my throat as my heart stuttered in my chest. We… were being followed? I immediately turned in my seat, trying to look out the back window without making it too obvious. My heart started pounding as I scanned the road behind us. At first, I didn’t see anything unusual — just normal traffic. But then I noticed it: a red-colored car a few vehicles back. It wasn’t doing anything obvious, but it had been there since we left campus. That must be it. I swallowed hard and faced forward again, gripping the edge of my seat. “Are you sure?” I asked, even though I couldn’t visibly see we’re actually being followed. Mr. James gave a small nod, his eyes flicking between the road and the mirror. “Pretty sure. They’ve been keeping the same distance for a while now. Could be nothing… but after what happened last ni

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 298: Did Riley…

    I dragged myself to my actual lecture hall with about twenty minutes to spare. I found a seat near the back, dropped my bag beside me, and just… sat there. I didn’t even bother pulling out my notebook. My mind was too loud, too full of questions I couldn’t answer.Riley knew about Noah.She knew enough to ask me directly about him.And the way she reacted when I said I hadn’t heard from him… that wasn’t normal.I stared blankly at the front of the room, barely registering the other students filing in around me. The low hum of conversations faded into background noise as my thoughts spiraled. Was Riley connected to Noah somehow? I didn’t even realize how much time had passed until the lecturer walked in and started setting up at the front. The sudden shift in energy around me pulled me out of my daze. People were settling into their seats, opening laptops, and the room was filling up fast.I blinked and sat up straighter, trying to shake off the fog in my head. I needed to focus. At l

  • Daddies Taste Better    CHAPTER 297: She Was Just… Staring

    The color drained from my face so fast I felt lightheaded My mind went blank for a moment and my grip on my phone tightened until my knuckles ached. I had only found out about Noah a few weeks ago and had never for once mentioned him to anyone, even Kai. I hadn’t told anyone at school about him — not a single soul. So how the hell did Riley know his name? My stomach twisted into a tight, sick knot. Before I could even form a response, her expression changed. Her face lit up with something that made my skin crawl. It was an overly excited, almost manic glint mixed with something even darker. Her eyes were wide, sparkling with a strange kind of hunger, and her lips curved into a bright smile. She leaned in closer, so close I could smell the faint scent of her perfume. “You’ve heard from him recently, right?” she asked, her voice low and oddly eager. “Tell me you have.” A shiver ran straight down my spine and I instinctively leaned back a little, my heart hammering so hard I cou

    “Okay,” I said quietly, and then I stayed silent for the rest of the ride.Mr. James didn’t push the conversation either. He just kept driving, eyes fixed on the road, hands steady on the wheel.I turned back to the window, watching the city blur past. By the time we pulled up to the university gates, the usual morning buzz of students felt distant. I thanked Mr. James with a small nod and stepped out of the car, adjusting my bag on my shoulder as I walked toward the main buildings.The campus looked normal enough at least. I was thankful for that.I headed straight to my first class, found a seat near the middle of the lecture hall, and settled in. The professor hadn’t arrived yet, so I pulled out my notebook and tried to organize my thoughts. A few minutes later, a girl slid into the seat beside me. She had curly hair pulled back into a loose bun, and wore a bright yellow sweater that stood out against the sea of neutral campus outfits. She glanced over with a friendly smile.“Hey

    °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ The drive home was quiet, but not the awkward kind. Gage’s hand stayed on my thigh the entire time, thumb tracing slow, absent patterns through my jeans. Every once in a while he’d squeeze lightly, a silent reminder that he was thinking about me. I stared out the window, watching the

    “So you’re in a relationship with Caleb,” he murmured, voice so low it almost disappeared into the wind. I opened my mouth to explain—to spill the whole ridiculous, humiliating truth—but he cut me off before the first syllable could escape. “Did you know?” I blinked. “No… No! I swear I didn’t kn

I knew it all too well.How could I possibly not recognize the voice when I’d spent months listening to it ask gentle questions, hold space for my silences, murmur “take your time” when I coul

    MIA❁✿❀I was sitting at the bar on the second of January, already four whiskeys in, and I still couldn’t shake the image of that empty fucking apartment from my skull. She didn’t even leave a note.Not a text.Not a “fuck you, I’m out.”Just… nothing.And yeah, I knew she might have been pissed.
