Dakota Lennix

I looked at my daily journal that I put into my box sadly and I looked around my office that's completely empty now. I brought my last box out and closed the door. I felt so heavy leaving this place and I don't know how I feel either. I walked towards my boss' office and knocked on his door two times. I put down the box and walked inside.

Mr. Denver was currently busy reading some files and when he saw me entering. He gestured me to sit down on the chair in front of his desk.

"I'm disappointed, Dakota. I can't believe you suddenly just throw all your responsibilities like this." He said as he turned to me.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Denver. It's something that I can't control. I have to go back to LA as soon as possible because I don't want to risk anything." I said seriously and he started to look at me coldly.

"You know that I'm depending on you for my work all the time and I just want to say that we don't end it in a really good terms, Dakota."

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Denver. If I can stay, I will stay but I can't. It's a really emergency situation and I can't avoid it." I said and he sighed.

"When will you go back to LA?" He asked.

"Tonight, Mr. Denver. I really need to leave New York as soon as possible." I said and he nodded. He suddenly opened his drawer and he gave an envelope to me. I looked at him confused and he gestured me to open it.

"You worked for me for 5 years and I think you deserve it." He said and my eyes widen when I saw a check inside the envelope.

"Mr. Denver, I think it's too much. I already received my salary earlier." I said and he shook his head.

"You said your grandpa is sick so.. I just want to help and you earned that." He said genuinely and I smiled.

"Thankyou, Mr. Denver." I said and he nodded gesturing me to go.

"Thankyou so much once again, Mr. Denver." I said as I stood up. I walked out from his office and looked down to my box that's sitting waiting for me. I put the check into the box completely not planning to take it because I don't need to take his money when my family has a lot of it and I don't want to take that as a chance for me to just take his money.

I took out my phone and called Eric, my bodyguard slash personal assistant that my dad sent me. I asked him to bring the car to the lobby because we're leaving for LA now. When I picked up the box, suddenly Mr. Denver came out. He was surprised that I'm still here.

"Why are you still here?"

"Do you need anything?" I asked.

"Coffee." He said and I put down my box planning to go to make him coffee but Mr. Denver held my wrist preventing me to go.

"Let me do it myself, just go." He said and I turned to him. I smiled and I gave him a hug. I felt his body tense up and I quickly released the hug.

"I'm sorry, I just.. I love this job and the idea of quitting still.. I'm sorry and thankyou once again, Mr. Denver." I said nervously. I quickly took my box and ran away to the lift. I pressed the button and walked inside. I pressed the L button and closed the door real quick.

I let out a deep breath and I sighed big time. My phone rang and I took it out from my pocket. It's Cameron and I quickly answered the phone.

"Hey." I said as I held the phone with my shoulder. I picked up the box and walked out from the lift. Eric saw me and he immediately helped.

"You're coming to LA tonight?" He asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Just asking, I never thought you will end up things in New York this quick." He said and I sighed. Eric opened the door for me and I got inside.

"Yeah but it's better to go back faster. I don't want to mess this up, I have to take over quickly." I said and I told Eric to stop by at McDonalds to buy dinner before going to the airport.

"Yeah I understand but you know that grandpa is going to arrange marriage you right? I heard that that guy will come to LA tomorrow." He said and I closed my eyes sighing big time.

"I hate this idea so much. It doesn't make any sense."

"I know but I guess you will see that guy tomorrow." He said.

"I don't have any other choice."

"Catherine, if you don't want to do this, it's okay." He said and I found myself shaking my head even though he can't see it.

"No, just do your own thing.. it's not that I don't want it. I just don't want to have that title now. It's not that I want to have fun or I want to stay in New York working under someone but.. you know why."

"Yeah, I understand. It's been 5 years-"

"I know, that's why I've decided to go home now. It's time.. but this idea of arrange marriage sucks." I said.

"Yeah.. I know but I suggest you should see the guy first. I bet he's not that bad."

"Yeah, I'll try. I'll see you later on." I said.

"Okay, see you." I ended the call and put my phone back into my bag. I looked outside the window and I took one last look at the times square.

"It's time.. You're back to Catherine Ashton now, you're no longer Dakota Lennix." I said to myself.

"Ms. Ashton, I got a call from your grandfather that you're going to Las Vegas instead of Los Angeles. He said he wants you to meet someone there before going back to LA the next day." Eric said and I sighed.

"Okay, tell him that I will go to there." I said and he talked to someone with his ear piece again.

"Great.. just great."

  • Mr. Denver   Epilogue

    Jacob WilliamOur grandpas dragged us both to have dinner together. They still don't know that me and Catherine are already engaged. I told Catherine to hide the ring first so we can fool those two after they fooled us back in the days."Two you have to get married.. she's going to be pregnant soon." Tim said and Catherine looked at him disbelief."We used protection." We didn't.. and it's been 4 months since we engaged and we never use protection. We've been busy preparing the wedding secretly. Her parents knew but they're willingly to cooperate to keep it secret from Tim."But still.. you two have to get married.""Will you two stop?" I hissed coldly and they both turned to me."W

    Catherine AshtonI smiled widely when I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and it's Jacob. I told him to come to my hotel instead of me going to his house. Our grandpas will screw us again."I miss you!" I jumped at him and he chuckled."I miss you too.. and why are you wearing a dress? Are you going somewhere?" He asked as he looked at me from head to toe. I crashed my lips to his and tried to take his suit off but he won't let me. He pushed me slowly and I looked at him a little furious."I can't wait.. will you cooperate?" I said honestly and he shook his head. I looked at him disbelief and pouted."What? You're not in the mood?" I asked as I crossed my arms."I can tea

    Catherine AshtonI opened my eyes slowly and turned to see Jacob sleeping soundly beside me. I kissed his cheek and got up from the bed to go to the bathroom. I took a warm bath to relax myself and checked my social media accounts.Suddenly the door opened revealing Jacob and he smiled. He brought his naked ass to the bathtub making all the water filled the whole bathtub. I put my phone down and he pulled me closer to him."Morning beautiful." He said and he gave me a peck on the lips."Morning." I smiled widely and he gestured to me to turn around. I turned my body and he pulled me to him with my back facing him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and he trailed kisses to my shoulder."So.. what's our plan for today huh?"

    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

    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.

    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.

    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'

    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

  • Mr. Denver   Chapter 27

    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.
