Chapter 24
Jacob Williams
As soon as I landed in Los Angeles, I went straight to her house. Her grandfather greeted me right away when I arrived even though it's late at night. I borrowed my other friend's jet to go to LA.
"Jacob, what brings you here?" Tim asked.
"I had a meeting earlier and I thought why not go visit Catherine. I hope you don't mind." I smiled politely and he patted my back nodding.
"Of course.. I mean you're going to be a part of our family so you can come here anytime you like." He said.
"Thankyou.. is Catherine home? She doesn't answer my calls."
"Oh.. she just got home and she's so drunk." He said and I checked the time. It's almost midnight.

Jacob Williams"Good morning, Jacob." Tim patted my back as he sat on the chair beside me with his tea."Good morning, Tim." I smiled to him and he looked down to my hand."What's wrong with the ring? Is it too big?" He asked."Nope, Catherine took it off and put it on the table beside her bed. I'm just admiring it." I said as I leaned my body completely to the chair."If you think that she's trying to back off, she won't." Tim said and I turned to him. He's smiling at me as he picks up his cup of tea."You can't blame us for thinking about it, Tim. I'm sorry for being so straight forward but.. this is an arranged marriage and we both don't love each other." I said and he chuckled n

Catherine AshtonI think I have an ear problem out of the blue. Did I just hear Jacob right? He wants an heir? I was speechless after he said that and I felt like my brain froze suddenly."A.. a- a heir?" I stuttered as I looked at him disbelief and he nodded."A heir.. I want an heir and after that I'll leave you alone. You can go free roam around the world seducing any man you want." He said completely in a cool tone and I looked at him disbelief. Is this really the Jacob that I know? I never thought he would have this crazy idea. I mean he didn't even tell me about the plan for the marriage and now he's.. giving me this sick idea?"Seduce any man? Do you think I'm a slut or something? And besides.. I won't give you an heir and why should I? You can easily pay a

Jacob AshtonI knew something was suspicious, she ran away. It was so positive that I don't need to confirm it. I saw it in her eyes when she left the house. I sat down alone beside the pool as I thought about this.I'll just cancel the wedding because it's the best for the both of us. We want different things and I know that by marrying, the both of us won't get anything.I like her.. I do but I don't want to chain her into this marriage. I think she still likes her ex-fiance and there's no doubt that she doesn't like me. I got up from my seat and walked inside to find Tim's studies."Hi. Are you busy?" I said as I walked into his studies."No.. come in, Jacob." He said and I sat in front of him.

Catherine AshtonI looked outside the window as I crossed my arms in front of my chest. It's been a long day after a long list of meetings. I let out a deep sigh as I looked down to the busy streets of Los Angeles.I turned my body around and sat down on my chair looking at the article in front of me. It was about Jacob who successfully opened up his wings in the oil industry. I leaned back to my seat and I can't help but feel a little sad again.It's been 2 years.After I got back from Texas, I found out that he left. He left me with the news that he cancelled the wedding. I didn't know how to react at that time hearing about the news from my grandfather. I felt like the world around me shattered right in front of my eyes, I was disappointed, I was so mad but I ca

Catherine AshtonI looked at the ballroom blankly debating should I go inside or go back to the hotel. Why am I here in the first place? Just to see Jacob? I was going to take a step back when somebody poked my shoulder. I turned to see Brad smiling at me."He's in there.." He said and I nodded."You need to talk to him." He added."I don't think we have things to talk about, Brad." I said and he pushed me into the ballroom. He pointed at Jacob who's currently talking to someone with a beautiful blonde girl in his arms."He has a girlfriend." I said as I turned to Brad."You know him well, Catherine. You worked for him for years.""But that'

Jacob William"Mr. William, your best friend is here." My secretary announced and I nodded at her to let him in. I stopped whatever I'm doing and I got up from my seat. Brad did call me to have lunch together so I'll just go out and meet him in front of the lift.I put on my suit and the door opened. Instead of Brad coming in, it was Catherine."Hi." She waved her hand awkwardly and I looked at her coldly."I think I have to-""I brought you your favorite steak." She said as she showed me the paper bag."What are you doing here?" I asked and she walked towards my table. She put the steak but I stopped her. She turned to me and she looked straight into my eyes.

Jacob William"Thankyou so much, Mr. Dexter. Our wedding will come soon, we'll send you an invitation." Mandy said to Mr. Dexter as she shook his hand. I smiled to him politely and we walked towards to the drink section."I hate lying.. we will never have our wedding." Mandy said as she leaned her head to my shoulder."Don't worry, it's for our own good." I patted her hand and she sighed. I heard a lot of people talking on the entrance of the event. I turned my attention to the crowd and I saw a man walking into the venue with his bodyguards.He scanned the room and his eyes landed on me. He gestured the guards to leave and the crowd didn't even dare to approach him. He walked towards me and Mandy which makes me raising my eyebrows.

ChapterCatherine AshtonI walked out from the lobby after calling my chauffer to come and pick me up. Suddenly someone stopped me by holding on to my wrist."You're Catherine Ashton right?" It's Prince Logan."Yes, Your Highness.""You can call me Logan, nice to meet you and thanks for helping earlier inside." He said and I smiled nodding."It's okay.""I'm assuming you still have feelings for Kyle Denver or maybe his real name Jacob William." He said and I nodded weakly."And you? For Mandy?""Her real name is Amanda, please call her Amanda." He hissed as h
