Chapter 69

Aniya left a little before six, pressing a kiss to the top of Iris's head on her way out, promising to call the moment she heard more about the shooting.

Riley was clearing the mugs off the table when a knock came, lighter than she expected.

She opened it to find Ashton standing there, tie loosened, a bag of takeout dangling from one hand like he hadn't quite decided whether he was staying for dinner or just checking in.

"I wanted to check on Iris," he said. "See how she's doing."

    Chapter 83The ride to her apartment was quiet. Iris didn't wake up once, sleeping soundly in the back seat the entire way. When they pulled up to the building, Ashton carried her himself, laying her down gently on her bed while Riley pulled the covers over her shoulders.Stepping out into the hallway, Ashton pulled Riley close, pressing a firm kiss to her forehead. "Tomorrow morning. Ten o'clock sharp. We start your first driving lesson.""I'll be ready," Riley whispered.Learning to drive turned out to be far more complicated than either of them anticipated.Between Ashton’s unpredictable surgeries at the hospital and Riley’s packed schedule with script reads, finding time was a nightmare. What should have been a quick week of practice dragged out into a full month.They had to snatch hours whenever they could. Some mornings, Ashton would pick her up at seven before his shift started, taking her to the empty top floor of the hospital parking garage to practice parking. Other nigh

    Chapter 82Riley stared at the frame of the SUV, her breath catching in her throat as the keys sat heavy and warm in her palm. The paint caught the soft light spilling out from the open front door, and that massive red ribbon across the hood looked almost ridiculous sitting in the middle of the driveway."Ashton, no..." She shook her head, her voice dropping to a breathless whisper as her eyes darted from the car back to his face. "This is too much. I can't take this.""You can, and you're going to," Ashton said. He stepped closer, wrapping his large hand over hers and forcing her fingers tight around the leather key fob. "You’ve spent the last few months taking taxis in the pouring rain or waiting around for me to finish a twelve-hour shift just to get across town. You’re a lead actress now, Riley. You need your own set of wheels, something safe that belongs entirely to you.""He made the dealer install those extra child locks on the back doors, too," Aniya called out from the porc

    Chapter 81Frederick took a slow, heavy step forward.Riley didn't wait for him to speak. She turned on her heel and walked back toward the soundstage doors, her face set into a cool mask. She had nothing left to say to him."Riley...wait!" His voice was hoarse, stripped of the booming authority it used to carry. Before she could reach the heavy metal handle, his fingers snagged the sleeve of her coat.She yanked her arm back instantly, spinning around with a sharp look that made him recoil as if he’d been burned. "Don't touch me."His hands hovered in the air before dropping limply to his sides. He looked hollowed out...the sharp, arrogant lines of his face collapsed into deep, exhausted folds."I... I just wanted to see you," he said, his voice unsteady. "How are you doing?""I'm fine," Riley said evenly, her tone flat enough to leave a message."And Iris?" He swallowed hard, his bloodshot eyes searching her face. "How is she?""She's fine, Frederick." He shifted his weight, his g

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   IT WAS FREDERICK

    Chapter 80Riley looked at Ashton, her heart swelling at the sincerity in his eyes, but she gave a small, gentle shake of her head."Ashton," she said softly, reaching down to squeeze his hands tightly instead of kissing him, hyper-aware of Iris sitting right beside them, watching through a mouthful of pancakes. "We can't just move in. I have my own place, and Iris needs a bit of consistency right now after everything she's been through."Ashton’s smile faltered for a fraction of a second, a flicker of disappointment crossing his face before settling into something warm and understanding. He returned the squeeze of her fingers, his thumb brushing over the back of her hand. "Riley, you know there's more than enough room here for both of you. You don't ever have to worry about anything again.""I know," she murmured, leaning into his side just enough so their shoulders touched. "And I love what you’ve built for us here...it means more than I can ever say. But we're not ready to com

    Chapter 79Ashton’s grip loosened slowly, his hands sliding down to rest lightly on Riley's hips, though he didn't step back entirely. Heat bloomed up her neck, creeping all the way to her cheeks as she tried to smooth her tangled hair with one hand.Iris blinked up at them, her sleepy gaze moving from Ashton’s bare chest to her mother’s flushed face again, before settling back on the way his arms were wrapped around Riley's waist."Why are you running?" She asked, her voice raspy from sleep.Ashton cleared his throat, adjusting his stance to step beside Riley while keeping a subtle, grounding hand on the small of her back. "We were... working on your mom new movie." Iris looked down at their bare feet, then back up, her brow furrowing with absolute, unbothered ten-year-old suspicion. "In your pyjamas?""I'm just helping her play a role so she'll be able to be a superstar." Ashton said smoothly, without a single flicker of hesitation. "Are you hungry?" That immediately caught her

    Chapter 78By the time Riley woke up the next morning, she found herself tightly wrapped around Ashton's arm.A big smile appeared on her face as memories of last night flooded her mind.The previous night was perfect...Ashton hadn't let her sleep a wink. His hands didn't leave her thick thighs, he was completely obsessed with her body. He wouldn't stop kissing her and telling her how obsessed he was with her until every single doubt she had simply disappeared.She felt him move beside her, and she closed her eyes immediately. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt self-conscious."Good morning, sweetheart," she heard him say softly.He leaned down and kissed her forehead, then her lips. His hand moved over her body again, sending a warm spark straight through her that turned her on immediately.She let out a soft moan that she hadn't planned.A light laugh escaped his chest, and that was when she realized he had done that on purpose...he knew she wasn't actually sleeping.She hi
