My Cheating Amnesic Idol Mateย ย ย Chapter 104
Ashley POVAfter hearing the sound of the front door key, I nearly snapped the pen in my mouth out of sheer frustration. But I didnโt. Instead, I put the pen down and took a long, deep breath. Pushing the pain in my heart out of my mindโ something that felt both easier and harder to do each time.Easier, because I knew I could suppress the pain with sheer willpower, and willpower was something I rarely lacked. Harder, because a part of me, the part buried deep within my wolf, actually wanted the suffering to stay. It was masochistic, purely so, but the act of stitching my shattered heart back together was starting to feel comforting, even satisfying.Anything to fill the void Jayden left when he returned to the apartment he shared with his friends.Days turned into weeks. News about Jayden and Blairโs relationship swept through the entire city and the international worldโ Hollywood. The night their I*******m post went viral like wildfire. Before long, fans of both pop stars gathered un

Ashley POVIn the end, they won the award. I found out about it as I was stealing glances at Eva, who was watching the live broadcast in one of my classes, and almost cried when the winner was announced. She was so overjoyed that even when Jayden called during lunch to update me with the situation there, she was even bold enough to congratulate him, albeit timidly, which amused me. Since he was in a hurry, he hung up as soon as he told me about their victory... Needless to say, I had to mention it though, and as much as it left a bitter taste in my mouth, my mood turned to joy as I recalled Friday.The rest of the week passed by in a blur and before I knew it, it was time for me to meet the band members of Boyz Hits Bullet on May 26th.Four days left until the show began.Four more days until everything I had been putting in would come to fruition.Four more days until my place in Jayden Keller's life would be wiped out.It was between half past seven and eight in the evening, with tr

Ashley POVโHey,โ I said as I sat down beside Milesโ the seat that had indirectly become my choice simply because it was the closest to where I had been standing near the door. Besides, I felt like I knew him better than anyone else hereโ except for Jayden, of course.Jayden had just taken a seat across from me when an argument broke out between him and Jean over what to order and how much. Miles set his half-empty drink down on the table and was forced to lean in closer to me just to be heard over their rapidly escalating banterโ or rather, a full-blown dispute.โDid something happen on the way here?โ he asked.โJust the usual traffic,โ I said with a grimace. โFor some reason, today felt unbearably long.โโWe started without you two.โโYeah, Jayden already told me. Itโs fine.โ I rubbed my arm. It wasnโt surprising that Miles smelled faintly of beer and food, but that scent was only temporary, merely clinging to him. This close, I could pick up a mix of coconut, aftershave, and the fr

Ashley POVAll the attention from seven pairs of expectant eyes suddenly weighs me down. I rub my palms together, trying to shake off those stares, and then it hits me.I give Jayden a simple smile and bump my head against his. "Something embarrassing from your childhood, Jayden."He narrows his eyes, snorting. "Thatโs like a double-edged sword youโre playing with, Ash."I shrug. "Iโm not the type who canโt tell the difference between fairies and dwarves in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.""Seriously?" Jax asks."Plenty more," I reply."Ash," Jayden says, his tone carrying a warning, yet there's a hint of embarrassment and worry in his caramel-brown eyes."If we drink, weโll figure it out," Jean says flatly, not at all impressed by my suggestion. "Thatโs a bad bet, Miles. Donโt even think about it.""Not at all," I replied coolly. "I can handle my drink better than anyone at this table, I promise. So youโre not gonna get something from me that I donโt wanna share.""Sounds almost like

Ashley POVIf my brain wasnโt so clouded with exhaustion and alcohol, I mightโve reacted properly to what he just said. But right now, I was way more drunk than I wanted to admit. I pushed aside every thought fighting for space in my head, whether real or not, because his body heat and the scent of white musk, soap, and just him made something inside me shiver with longing. I didnโt trust myself in this state. I didnโt trust myself when my lips were this close to his neck, where his scent was strongest.So instead, I focused on one thingโ holding on."Ash, I have a question."He had already reached the second floor, adjusting his grip on me. I glanced at him, curious, urging him to continue. "Shoot.""I was wondering if youโd come to our show at the end of May," he said quietly as he stepped onto the last staircase. "I know itโs around finals, but..." I felt him swallow hard. "I want you to be there. To see us, to see me... perform."I pretended to think about it for a second, but hon

Ashley POVThe streets werenโt exactly empty, but David had been circling the block for the past half hour, worried about my safety. Thatโs why he managed to pull up right where he had dropped me off just a few minutes later. Before getting into the car, still a little tipsy, I waved goodbye to the BHB band membersโ except for Jayden and Jamie, who were still upstairs looking for something theyโd left behind.Even though it felt kinda weird leaving without saying goodbye to everyone, maybe it was for the best that I didnโt see Jayden again. At least, not that night.I had to wipe my eyes more than a few times on the way home. Not even the alcohol could numb the sharp ache in my chest.The moment I got back, I collapsed onto my bed and passed out.The next morning, fighting off a pounding headache, I came to the conclusion that my trip to Milan needed to be about more than just Jaydenโs concert. I had to make this trip for myself too. And since Eva was too busy to come along and Jared

Ashley POVIt wasnโt jealousy or some masochistic urge that led me to my newest idea. No, seriously, it wasnโt. Honestly, I just wanted to know more about her, because she was the reason behind everything that happened that night at the stadium back in February. Because I could swear she had planned every single one of those so-called coincidental meetings between me and Jayden, which eventually led to the accident and his amnesia.I mean, I had no solid proof, but judging by the way she acted and spokeโฆ something felt off. My gut just told me so.I didnโt think Blair had planned for Jayden to go on a drunken rampage afterward and get hit by a carโ especially judging by how damn annoying she was in the Silvercross Healing Center parking lotโ but she sure as hell wasnโt innocent, either. But I also knew she hadnโt known about my engagement to Jayden at the time, which was obvious from Jaydenโs own words and what she said to me after he kicked her out of his hospital room.Besides, I st

Ashley POVMonday was chill. I spent the day wandering around the area near my hotel, snapping pictures of the city. Somewhere along the way, I stumbled upon a hobby store packed with all kinds of trinkets and ended up buying some dolls and tiny figurines for Eva before heading back. I also swung by a small shop to grab some snacks.A hot shower melted away my exhaustion, and soon enough, I was lounging on the bed in a ridiculously oversized bathrobe, binge-watching N*****x for hours. I meant to change into my pajamas, but I crashed before I even got the chance.For a moment, I floated in darknessโ no real-life drama, no danger, just peace.Then, a buzzing noise across the room yanked me out of my sleep. Still half-asleep, I clumsily rolled out of bed and made my way to the desk where I'd left my phone charging. My eyes fluttered as I tried to shake off the drowsiness. It was bright outside, but I didnโt really stop to think about it.Not until I, still groggy, picked up the call and h

Ashley POVTo tell the truth, I regretted my decision as soon as I got out of the car. But his piercing, dark eyes caught mine from the second floor before I could find the nerve or perhaps, the sanity to run. So, despite feeling as if every step was through a bed of quicksand, every breath felt as if it were swallowing oil, and my heart was racing as if I was galloping as if my life was at stake, I had no other choice but to go inside that damn building.โSerenityโ is a cafรฉ and bakery concept with a large selection of vegan menu items that directly blend into the non-vegan menu. How someone would make cheesecake without cheese baffled me enough to make me order it from the front desk along with a large iced latte. I made my way around the round tables scattered throughout the rustic bistro, excusing myself when it became too crowded amongst the patrons.Miles sat down, alone, next to one of the windows on the second floor that was rarely visited by people. He looked rather casual an

Ashley POVโAsh?โ There were a few knocks on the door, followed by Eva's voice. โMy mom is here right now. I have to go now, but I will call you later!โโYeah, bye!โ I croaked absentmindedly. I couldn't take my eyes off the phone screen.โYou'd better get going... I saw Jared come out of his dressing room half a minute ago. He's probably smoking outside.โMy mouth moved spontaneously. โOkay, thanks for telling me.โโAsh...โ She hesitated, and then I could hear a small thud on the door as it slid half a centimeter into view. The next line sounded behind the painted wooden surface. โYou're totally gorgeous today. I mean, you're always lovely in my opinion, but, well... I just wanted to say it one more time before I go.โHer compliment felt warm, but I was still too frozen in shock to smile. โYou will be late for practice,โ I said further in a teasing tone.She didn't answer right away, as if I could hear her thoughts from behind the door. Letting out a long breath, I said calmly, โWhat'

Ashley POVJared reached out and shook Samuelโs hand without even blinking. That surprised me, considering Samuelโs old injury, but Jaredโs grip was firm and smooth.โJared Keller,โ he said with a hint of a smile. โAnd Iโm sure the best wedding photographer in the city is more than capable of taking a few photos of me and my fiancรฉe.โHis voice, usually cold and even, actually sounded warm this timeโ nothing like the sharp tone he usually used with me. But that didnโt bother me. Not one bit.Because I knew Jared. I knew that when he wanted to, he could charm anyoneโ regardless of gender. That cool, intimidating aura of his didnโt stop him from flipping a switch and turning into the smoothest guy in the room.And honestly? The fact he was using that tone with someone other than me or Eva? It was kind of a relief.When Jared talked like that, people couldnโt help but feel confident, maybe even proudโ like they mattered. Like Jared saw something special in them, even if they barely knew

Ashley POVโAnd... smile!โThe umbrella lights flashed across the room, making my vision blur for a second. I blinked quickly, waiting for the black dots to fade as my eyes adjusted to the pastel walls, the endless fake white and blush roses surrounding me, and the bulky guy standing behind the camera set up in front of me.Raising his hand, he gave the universal โokayโ gesture. โBeautiful, beautiful,โ he said excitedly. โNow, if you could just tilt your head a little to the side and angle your chin to the right...โWithout a word, I followed his instructions, rewarded with a delighted squeal and another blinding flash. โYes, thatโs it! And maybe move your hand like this...โ he said, demonstrating with his left hand. I copied him. โYesss! Perfect! I gotta say,โ he went on with a big grin, โyou are the most stunning bride Iโve ever seen, Ashley Van Smith. Your fiancรฉ is one lucky guy.โThe camera clicked and the lights flashed again.โThanks, Sam,โ I said once my vision started coming

Jayden POVโJay, are you okay?โโHow many times do I have to answer that?โ I didn't look up from my phone screen even though I'd probably read the same news article about criminals a thousand times. Somehow, the drive to the restaurant felt like an eternity, or, at least, that's how I felt when I was stuck in the car with nothing to hear but silly questions.I was fine, though.โHow many times does it take you to spill the fucking truth,โ Hunter asked, his voice coming from dangerously close behind me.I lifted my phone over my shoulder so he could see what I was doing, then snorted. I took the only open passenger seat in the front on the pretense that I was feeling sick because I was so damn starving, but now here I was suddenly wondering if it would be better to sit in the very back seat.But there was Miles already seated, and I didn't like the way he was looking at me as I turned towards him.โJayden...โ Jamie's tone was low, worried.โGet off of my back,โ I snapped. โI'm fine, ok

Jayden POVโNo,โ I stated simply. โSheโฆ Everyone thinks we're just family friends.โโWell,โ she went on, the glint in her eyes turning cold. Extremely cold, like merciless stones of ice. โAs of today, that won't be a lie anymore.โMy brows furrowed, I couldn't help but let the fear caused by my anxiety creep up my voice. โWhat do you mean?โ I asked in a tone that hopefully sounded calm.She pulled the engagement ring off her finger and held it out to me. โI'm calling off our engagement,โ she said harshly. โI won't - won't marry a cheating bastard like you. You can live happily ever after with someone else, like Blair Anderson.โ A mocking sneer spread across her face. โSmile, Jayden - you're finally getting rid of me, may you live happily ever after with your dear girlfriend.โ What she said after that sucked the life out of me as if part of my soul had been taken away. โOh, and before I forget, I, Ashley Van Smith, of the Red Moon Pack, reject Jayden Ronan Keller, of the Crimson Pack,

Jayden POVโWhat are you doing here, Ashley?โIt wasn't my intention to lash out at her, but I was too shocked to find other words, so my tongue moved faster than my brain. She looked flabbergasted at my words, her face turning redder than a ripe tomato as she caught sight of me and my group of friends. Her lips parted and sealed, then parted again, but this time to my astonishment. She was stunned. Angry, too.And hurting more than I'd ever seen her before.โJayden,โ Tyler said hesitantly, breaking the silence down the hallway that had suddenly become eerily quiet. โIsn't she a friend of your family?โโIs it really her?โ asked Jax, glancing curiously between me and Ashley while scratching his face.Later on, Jamie stepped in front of me as soon as I snarled at Ashley with both shoulders raised but immediately loosened up at Tyler's words. โOh yeah, I've seen your face before, on the news.โHunter snapped his fingers. โThat's right!โ he said as he realized something. โWhenever you two

Jayden POV23.02 - Fine, I'll go get your stuff. See you in five minutes?23.02 - Perfect! Hey, baby, you're not mad at me, right?Rolling my eyes, I replied with the word โNoโ. To be frank, I'm not mad at her. I'm just tired of her. Blair was prettier than most, very talented, and kind despite being more of a loner than Jean and overall she was a very nice girl. She is the kind of girl that guys dream about, because of her sweet and lovable nature, her graceful and slender figure. In fact, she was exactly what I wanted when I first laid eyes on her. I used to think I could finally fall in love, and it would be with her because she's almost perfect in every way. I mean, how could a guy not like a woman like Blair?At first, it was fun and exciting. I had never had someone... someone who I knew was definitely interested in me and talked to me for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. She made me break down my walls, to the point where I felt I could trust her. I thought I could

Jayden POVโFlashback a few hours before the accident after the concert in NY in FebruaryโโGood job, everyone! That's a wrap for our concert in NY!โClark escorted the seven of us from backstage to one of the leather couches in the dressing room before darting off somewhere. Some of the other coordinators and managers who had been with us for a few months to a few years came next, all with smiles on their faces. I poured the last contents of my water bottle over my head to cool down as I sat next to Jax. The liquid dripped down my face, neck, and back, soaking the black T-shirt I wore at the end of the concert, and though it felt relatively warm, I was still able to breathe a sigh of relief.โThere's a place called the bathroom.โ Tyler leaned over to my right and tugged gently on my sleeve. โMan, you're soaked.โโYou too,โ I retorted as I stared intently at his hair stuck to his forehead.โI'm starving,โ whimpered Jean as he fanned himself frantically with someone's magazine.
