“It’s official, I hate myself.” I blurted as we sauntered into Mayor Hemsworth mansion.

“Stop,” Skye eyed me. “You’re gonna have fun, okay. Besides, who knows you could meet the man of your dreams tonight.”

“Oh please,” I rolled my eyes as we sauntered into the glamorous ballroom. It wasn’t the interior designs and the chairs and tables that were the only things that reeked of class. There were several dignitaries, celebrities I could note. Most of them dressed in black tuxes and dashing evening gowns just like Skye and I. I was wearing a green evening gown coupled with some long hand gloves and silver pairs of stilettos while Skye slayed with black instead. She quickly introduced me to her parents and a few people which truthfully, I found tiring.

“I shouldn’t have come here,” I said as we took our reserved seats leaving two empty chairs left on ours.

“Don’t be a killjoy Autumn!” She gleamed.

“Maybe you can handle it but I can’t handle this pressure, I feel so out of place here a

    “I think this marriage frenzy thing is making you assume things,” I said, “I only brought Autumn with me so my bed won’t be left cold tonight.” She peered suspiciously at me for a while and then smiled. “How is Leon?” “Fine.” “And work?” “Fine too.” She hummed while I downed my champagne hurriedly. “Looks like so much has been happening over there. So much you’re refusing to talk about.” I exhaled deeply.“Ash,” “Today is a joyous occasion. Your day. And I don’t want to ruin it by talking about the affairs of New Orleans.” She shrugged. “I think I’ve already had my fill of today. Let’s deal with you.” “Now you’re sounding like a therapist.” “I am your therapist,” we both chuckled for a brief moment and then I stared into the sky, making shapes with the stars. “It's hellish,” I started in oblivion, “after the old man died, handling the gang and the daily hurdles that came with it was killing more than I imagined,” I sighed. “I’m afraid my father may have picked the wrong per

    A tiny smile graced my lips as I admired my reflection on the full length mirror. I was donning a simple suit complimented with a bow tie. I ran my hand through my short hair so it fell in a wavy fashion. I usually had no interest in attending wedding ceremonies but this one in particular was special. The only thing I hated was the bandage tape on my face. My phone rang in my pocket and my smile faded noting the caller ID. “Ariel,” I answered. “Were you never going to return my calls? I sent you texts but apparently you’ve been doing a very fine job ignoring them. I visited but your guards wouldn’t even let me enter. I’m your girlfriend for goodness sake! What did I do wrong Ash?! What—“ her voice trailed off and I knew it was tears that were certainly going to follow. “You know better that I’ve been busy. A lot has happened over the past few weeks, I could have lost my life or been in jail—“ “I know! I know, but couldn’t you have said something? Ash I don’t know why but these da

    “That fool!” I blurted as I hit the punching bag hard. I didn’t want to think about it much but the morning’s incident kept replaying in my head. Why does Ash have to get the good things? If anything, he wasn’t worthy of Autumn! My breaths escaped in heavy sessions as I rained the bag with several blows till it came off from the ceiling mount. I panted, staring at the bag on the floor. I used the white towel wrapped around my neck to clean my sweats before deciding to hang the bag again. The gym door opened making way for a dark haired slim and curvy lady to saunter in. Skye. Her hair was a mess and she was in her nightgown, enough for me to conclude she just woke. “Good morning!” I teased while she approached me in a lazy fashion. I glanced at the wall clock reading ten minutes past two in the afternoon. “Ah shit,” she sighed while she sat on the weight bench a few meters beside me. “I had a long night yesterday.” “I can tell,” I picked the punching bag to hang it. “Boyfriend?”

    I hummed in pleasure as we got to the dining room welcomed by the aromas of different meals laced on the polished antique dining table. “What do we have here Freya?” I asked my chef as she did some adjustments to the arrangements alongside two of her staff. “This is, Grilled steak with roasted vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes,” she pointed to one of the meals while one of the staff pulled my chair for me to sit. Autumn on the other hand sat on the opposite side. “Pan-seared salmon with sautéed spinach and wild rice pilaf, Lobster risotto with garlic bread and mixed green salad, Grilled lamb chops with ratatouille and couscous salad, Baked salmon with dill sauce, roasted asparagus, and wild rice, Spaghetti carbonara with garlic bread and Caesar salad—“ “That’s enough,” I cut her off abruptly. “I would have died of hunger by the time you’re done with all this, I want the err…” I pointed to one of the meals. “What’s it called again?” “Grilled steak with roasted vegetables and ga

    “This is your room.” Ash said as he ushered me into a large room. It was the same one they had brought me after the incident with Sebastian. There were changes though, the bedsheets were a floral shade of red and white. The couch and stool at the left corner of the door side were rather than the black I remembered. The black marble floors were still as reflective as I remembered and the luxurious mahogany wardrobe rooted by the right side of the wall still remained. The room scent was that of jasmine and it almost brought a smile to my face.“I’ll assign three guards to be in charge of your protection. You’ll meet them later,” he said while he closed the door behind us. “Henceforth, you’re no longer allowed to leave this house except for school. And if you have any outing or whatsoever you have to attend, then you must report to me first. Is that clear?” I turned to him with a sharp frown, “are you stripping me of my freedom?” “I’m protecting you.” He quipped back. “No you’re locki

    “We’ve arrived ma’am.” John announced as he drove the car to a gentle halt. I exhaled deeply, mentally recalling Ash’s warm lips grazing mine.“Is anything wrong?” His voice tousled my thoughts. “I’m good.” I replied before sauntering inside. “Miss Autumn!” Mrs. Anderson chirped with her graceful smile as I arrived at the living room.“Please, Mrs. Anderson, Autumn is just fine.” I responded. “Of course. Leon left for some meeting so he would be coming home late tonight. Should the maids prepare dinner or something for you?”I glanced at the time on my phone, it was twenty minutes past eleven. Besides, I had too much storming in my mind over some meal. “Nah I’m fine. Where’s Skye?”“She went out with a friend.” She answered and I donned a skeptical look. “You don’t have to worry. One of the guards accompanied her.” She said and I nodded before threading up the stairs. I locked my door after texting Skye. She was probably out with one of her men. I tossed my phone to the bed befor
