My Cheating Amnesic Idol Mateย ย ย Chapter 20 : Unexpected Visitor
Ashley POVI was putting on my shoes when a door almost slammed into my face. My bad, it had become a bad habit, but as I dodged, I could not help but yelp in surprise. Jean came stepping out of the bathroom, strangely wearing a jacket and looking at me with a quizzical gaze."I was just wondering if maybe I could help carry these things," he told me, then he gestured towards some canvas bags lying on the shelf. "Those are Jayden's favorite shoes. You should probably bring them too since he buys them all himself." Then I simply gave him a nod.In the elevator going down, Jean and I stood as I texted David to pick me up. But as the two of us walked out of the building carrying Jayden's belongings, Jean unexpectedly asked if he could carry more, an offer which of course I politely turned down. Shortly after, I already spotted David who was outside waiting for me."Thank you for your help," I said to Jean and David after they finished loading the luggage into the trunk. "I had no idea ho

Ashley POVWith my eyes wide open and my mouth agape. I just could not believe my eyes or my ears - to tell you the truth this whole situation made zero damn sense. The day was still as clear as the sky, and Jayden seemed so cool and casual that he let Blair kiss him. I had even hinted, if not outright told him, that Blair was someone he was very much in love with before the accident happened. In fact, I had tried to make the ring - my ring - seem as if Jayden had chosen it for Blair before the case of amnesia. You could say that I had told Jayden that she was his future fiancรฉe, and Blair was still wearing the necklace that was the graduation gift I had bought for Jayden.So, what the hell was he doing?Then Jayden pulled himself away from Blair, paying her no mind as Jayden glanced at the healer. For a few moments, I watched Blair's frozen expression. She looked even more dumbfounded than me. However, it was not long before her eyes soon became teary as Jayden muttered a loud order.

Ashley POV On the way back to Jayden's room, I did not find Clark, although that might as well have been the case. The pain in my head was slowly getting the best of me, creeping up from the back of my skull. Over the past twenty-four hours too much had happened to me. Not only dealing with his cheating, the sudden shock, then even more shocking surprises, the lack of sleep, a school day full of battle plans, a dinner with the band 'BHB' that led to a threat that gave me a heart attack, Jayden's ridiculously rude attitude, and now, like the cherry on top of the cake, I had most likely become the enemy of the most famous model and actress in the whole city, Blair freaking Anderson, despite my best efforts. What a hell of a shitty life. Before walking into Jayden's room, I sucked in a deep breath. It took all the strength I had left to ignore the pain in my head and the soreness in my legs and instead, I tried to crack a smile as best as I could. "Sorry," I said to the healer again,

Ashley POV"What's going on?" A male voice whispered almost directly behind me. I had no idea that Jayden had stood up and started to approach me, and I almost bumped into him out of sheer surprise. Instantly I was shocked to see his shadowy form, though luckily my reflexes were fast enough to keep him out of harm's way."Do you always have to punch things?" he asked in an irritated tone after he had successfully dodged my fist."Don't you know any better than sneaking up on me?" I retorted. "I gave you a nosebleed when we attended a Halloween event a few years ago with our parents and you freaked me out."Then, he furrowed his brow. "I don't remember that," he stated.There was a slight waver in his tone, but it was enough for me to understand that the constant dread of not being able to remember something was eating away at him again. I pursed my lips, reprimanding myself for my lack of tactfulness, then shook my head. "I have the pictures, I guess. I can show them to you later.""W

Ashley POV"Where's your jacket?" I was suddenly astonished when I saw Jayden wearing only the clothes that I had packed for him. The temperature outside was very cold, probably below zero degrees Celsius, and his skin looked very pale due to the chilly air."I wonder," he said. Both of our breaths came out in white gusts. "Amnesia, you know."I let out a sigh, "I would offer mine," I started, "but it might be a bit small.""No, keep it," Jayden said in a rather calm tone. "I don't want you to catch a cold because of me."I snorted, despite the fact that I could feel my heartbeat picking up. However, it was probably just because I was exercising, an action that I was trying to convince myself to do more often. "What a gentleman.""Anything for you," he said sarcastically, even with a slight smile that disguised the impact of his tone.Even if I realized that it was just the most ordinary and light-hearted joke, nevertheless I could not help but smile. And even though it should have fe

Ashley POV Well, "almost" is the key word here. But still, he couldn't seriously walk into the kitchen, where he knew full well that I would be there. And even an idiot like Jayden Ronan Keller wouldn't be able to ignore the fact that, hell yes, I was a woman who had shown some interest in the opposite sex during her childhood. And we were both adults now, moreover, we were both mated and it could make the wolf in us, the beast in us get pulled into that. And yet, he has no reason to get close to me with his appearance and he doesn't even realize the bond we have. His dark brown hair was even darker due to the dampness. No matter how Jayden ruffled his hair to dry it with the towel draped over his shoulder, water still dripped from the ends of his hair. Small droplets dripped in the crooks of his ears and neck, following the shape of his strong shoulders, muscular arms, and well-built body due to the force of gravity. There was a white towel loosely wrapped around his hips - thankf

Ashley POV I didn't know where to start. Then, remembering the list I had written and the master list Jackson had compiled from working with Boyz Hits Bullets, I took them both out and placed them on the table. "Can you look through these?" I asked. Jayden glanced at my paper first. "Is this some kind of wish list of yours, or?" he asked as he pointed at it. His gaze turned suspicious as he looked at the master list. "I don't know what the person who wrote this meant. It's just a list of events." "How do you know this is mine?" I couldn't hold back my astonishment. "Your handwriting is pretty crappy, Ash." "Oh my," I muttered. "It's gotten better over the years." "Apparently not, because... the letters look the same as always." "It's not a wish list, you know," I said, rolling my eyes at his scorn. "It's a list of things you and I have gone through over the past five years." For obvious reasons, I had intentionally not written down the day of my engagement with him, and anythi

Ashley POV So, despite being only a few steps away from the handsome face of Jayden Keller, I knew that I had to stay away. Before he or I did something really bad, something that I couldn't do or even worse, that I wouldn't be able to deny or take back. "I have to go to school," I said as I straightened my body position. My two hands were clenched at my sides and I felt my cheeks start to heat up. "I'll take care of the dishes. You rest or whatever. When I get back, we will start piecing back together the memories you've lost." "No," he said quickly, getting up from his bed. There was nothing - not even the slightest hint of redness in his expression that suggested that the moments that had just occurred, where the two of us had shown affection and intimacy. And perhaps it was best if we both forgot about it. "Let me do the dishes since you're already cooking." "Don't be silly," I said as I picked up the dishes and started washing them, still feeling the heat on my cheeks. "What

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.

Ashley POVJayden was checking himself out in the massive mirror, eyes trailing from head to toe. His dyed light brown hair was a mess, and he had just enough makeup on to cover the small scar on his left cheek. Titanium earrings dangled from his ears, and rings wrapped around his fingers. He wore a red bomber jacket over a teal patterned shirt, paired with tightโ very tightโ black skinny jeans and branded sneakers to complete the look.โHey,โ he greeted, locking eyes with me through the mirror.I pushed a rolling clothing rack filled with expensive-looking shirts and jackets. โNo white tees? Whatโs going on?โ I asked.Jayden let out a small laugh. โSorry to disappoint,โ he replied, adjusting his collar. โAnyway, where have you been? Iโve been looking everywhere for you.โโI was at the mall,โ I lied, trying my hardest not to rub my wrist. โIโm actually feeling kinda sick. I donโt know if I can stay for the whole concert.โHe immediately turned to me. โYou have to,โ he said, a hint of

Ashley POVChugging his water bottle, Jayden turned his attention back to his friends. Miles, however, kept sneaking glances at me, his expression unreadable. I gave him a small smile anyway, hoping to reassure him that I was fine.A lie, of course. I was fine. I just had no idea how.โAre you and Miles having a thing or...?โMy jaw practically hit the floor, and I gawked at Blair in disbelief. โWhat?โ I blurted, unable to hide my shock. โOf course not!โShe tapped a finger against her chin, flashing me an apologetic smile. โSorry, that was kind of fishy.โ She came closer, the scent of her strawberry perfume stinging my nose even more. โCome on, weโre friends. You can tell me.โI was this close to telling her that friendship didnโt work that way. Hell, I wanted to punch her square in the jaw. But I managed to hold back and just shook my head. โNo, really,โ I said, sneakily shifting away from her. โThereโs nothing going on between me and him. Or anyone else in this group, for that matt
