เข้าสู่ระบบAva's POV Jaxon rode into the arena on horseback yet again like he had walked straight out of a western movie.He wore dark denim jeans, brown boots, black ranch gloves and a fitted black shirt with the sleeves rolled to his forearms.His cowboy hat sat low over his eyes while the brown horse moved confidently beneath him.Storm better not find out he's been cheating on her while she's locked in a stall.Even the camera crew looked distracted the moment Jaxon showed up– that's how much aura he possessed.“Okay, that is unfair,” one of the contestants whispered.“No seriously,” another muttered. “Why is he this hot?”Jaxon stopped at the center of the arena before smoothly climbing down from the horse.The audience cheered louder.He tipped his hat slightly. “Well howdy, ladies.”The girls practically melted at the sight of him. I hated the fact that I nearly melted too.Like come on, you have had sex with this man several times, you were acting all nonchalant about him moments ago, t
Ava's POV“I had the games postponed to 2pm because of you, so let's hope we can get you ready before that time.” Sarah announced as she led me out of the back door while looking through some files in her hand.“I am sorry, what exactly do I need to do?” I asked curiously.She made it sound like there were some big preparations ahead, but no one told me anything about that.“For starters, sign this. It's the contestant's contract form.” She said and handed me a paper.I barely had time to look through it before she continued. “Our stylists will do something about your hair…”“My hair?” I cut her short with a frown. “What's wrong with my hair?”“Ermm…” She hummed with a high pitched tone, looking up at my hair with an expression that screamed ‘I am not impressed!’“Don't take it the wrong way but it's boring in this free form. I understand if you don't want to do anything major on it, we can just wash, oil and dress it to look better on camera.” She said.Wow. I guess it is official, e
Ava's POVWe returned to the Ranch after having a fun time at the Waterfall. Maria borrowed a horse from Mr. Logan to teach Lizzie how to ride while I excused myself to attend to other matters.Mrs. Bravo's request was still bugging me and so I went to get the opinion of someone I knew would have a lot to say.Jaxon West.Okay, maybe that was just an excuse to see him, but I still needed to hear his opinion.The bodyguard at the bachelor's lodge let me through the moment I arrived at the entrance, almost like he was expecting me.I went inside to find him sitting in front of a mirror with a lady massaging his head with a wet towel.From the steam, I could tell it was warm.“Wow, living the American dream, aren't we?” I said in a low sarcastic tone as I approached him from behind.“Ahan, right on time, Miss Taylor. Tell me, do you think I would look good blonde? My stylist just suggested I go blonde for the rest of the show.” He said, without taking his eyes off the mirror.I frowned.
Ava's POV“You are here.” I mouthed, feeling confused.“It would… seem so?” Lizzie looked back, mirroring my gaze and confusion.I squinted my eyes. “Did Sarah send you to come and try to convince me? I told her that I needed some time, two hours isn't exactly enough time.” I pointed out.Lizzie crumpled her face. “Sorry, convince you about what?” she asked with a look of perplexity.“Oh.” I paused. “I guess not. She was here to invite me to join the show.” I announced.“She did?” Lizzie looked at me with surprise. “Well, I can understand why you wouldn't want to go back to working there.” She laughed.“Oh, actually she offered me to join the game as a contestant, not a ranch assistant.” I quickly explained.“Huh? Wow, that is amazing. What could have brought about that decision?”“Some clips of my previous involvement were added to the released episodes and apparently it generated a lot of engagement from viewers, so now they want me in.”“Really? Well, good for you!” Lizzie said wi
Ava's POVI walked back into the cottage absent-minded, my head low as I thought about everything.Maybe this was my problem – thinking too much, I need to stop thinking.I stood in the doorway after opening it and slowly turned back. I know he was gone but I still felt like checking again.“Are you sure you don't want to go with him?” Maria's voice unexpectedly cut through my thoughts.“Ahh!!” I shrieked, startled. “Maria! You freaked me out!”“Sorry.” She laughed, sitting up against the bed headboard.“I thought you were going off to sleep?” I asked in sarcasm.“And leave you two unsupervised? Hell no. I couldn't risk waking up to you two making love beside me.” She joked.I blushed. “Don't be ridiculous, Maria. We were just talking.”“Sure, I guess those smooching sounds came from the racoons that live in the woods across the fence.” She grinned.“You are impossible,” I said shyly and turned away.I shut the door and returned to the reading desk, opening the laptop which I had clos
Ava's POVWhile the others headed down to the Hall, we stood behind and waited for Jaxon. He soon came to meet us.“Hey ladies,” he began with a little smile. “What do you think? It was entertaining, right?”“Absolutely! I can't believe I am saying this but I haven't seen anything like it.” Maria said amusingly.“What about you, Ava?” Jaxon turned his attention to me.“What about me?” I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him.“Hmm… what have I done this time, Miss Taylor?”“What have you done? For one, how could you give her the win?” I scolded.“What do you mean? It was a clear win, she not only lasted the longest but also put on the best performance.” He defended.“Yen, yen, yen!” I made a mocking face, still annoyed. “Do you like her? Is that it?” I gently shoved him on the chest but he grabbed my hands.“Hey, now don't make a scene here, little bird.” He whispered to me, pulling me close. “She won fair and square, there was no tricks or agenda behind giving her the victory.”“Mmgh-mgh,
