ASHLEY.

"An offer?" I repeated.

"Yes, Miss Walker," he replied. "It’s simple, and the pay will be better than what you're getting now."

My ears perked up at the last part.

More money?!

That way, I could send money to Melissa and still have enough for myself.

And finally afford a good lawyer who could help me get custody of Lily.

"What is it?"

He leaned back in his seat. "The girl clearly needs a nanny. I don't want to risk too many people knowing about her. You're the perfect one for the

    ASHLEY. "Girl!" Molly squealed immediately we walked up to her. "I have missed you so much."She pulled me into a hug and I relaxed into it. I needed the warmth. At least, something was normal from my crazy life. She pulled back and she finally noticed Lily. "Lily? Is that you?" she gasped. Lily rolled her eyes. "Yes, it's me.""Come here baby girl!"Lily winced slightly as her hands wrapped around her. I wondered what other bruises she was hiding. It made me sadder than I already was."I am so happy to see both of you," Molly added. We finally settled into our seats. "I missed you too," I replied with a smile. "What’s new?"She beamed widely while patting her hair. "It’s just__" she trailed off."Just what?" I asked, confused. She gave me a pointed look. "Look," Lily said gesturing to the hand she was using to pat her hair. I finally noticed it. I squealed loud. "He proposed.""You are engaged.""We have a wedding to plan.""My best friend is getting married.""This's

    ASHLEY. I walked into the familiar building. My heart didn't stop pounding in my chest. I knew whatever’s going to happen in there wasn't going to be anything good. I had to meet up with Molly later today. I was excited for it until I got the message. Nicholas didn't object when I told him I had to go somewhere. Didn't ask any question. And I was thankful for that... I didn't know how to talk about Melissa without breaking down.I took deep breaths as I came in face to her apartment's door. I pressed the doorbell before putting my shaky hands in my pockets. Lily opened the door. I gasped at the sight of her. Her face was slightly bruised. I felt many emotions at once. Anger. Fear. Nervousness. Helplessness. One stood out... Helplessness. "Is it that bad?" she asked lowly. I tried to muster a smile while trying to keep my tears at bay. "I am sorry."She gave me a pointed look. "Don't start!""But_""Nothing. She is waiting for you in the living room."I nodded as

    NICHOLAS. "Why are you quiet?" I asked Chris. He was driving us back to his place. And he hasn't said anything. Ludacris always had something to say. "Just thinking."I raised an eyebrow. "About what?""Something has changed."I ran a hand through my hair. I already knew what he was talking about. "Yeah it has."He smirked. "I fucking knew it."I snorted. "What did you do?""I didn't really do anything."He tossed me a suspicious look. "Does it involve lots of body movement?"I groaned. "We haven't slept with each other."He hummed. "We only kissed. Two times."And he fucking screamed. "Third time is a charm.""I don't want to have sex with her. At least, not now."He gasped. "You don't want to sleep with a girl?""Something has changed in me. I haven't looked at another girl like we always do.""That bad?"I gripped my hair in frustration. "I only see her.""Damn! Thought I was going to be the first."I frowned. "For what?""You like her.""What! No!""You like her," he repe

    ASHLEY.I watched the live conference for the millionth time while checking the new comments online. Most people were swayed by his charms. Few people were still unconvinced- they want to know what happened to her mother. I was still worried.Her mother wasn't actually dead. His acting skills were good- I almost believed it. Then the reporter had to ask that question.But he didn't stutter so I hoped they believe him. I still wonder why her mother doesn't want to be in her daughter's life. So bad that she had to be dead to the world.But the stocks were going up again. Hopefully, he was saved now.When my name came up, a tiny part of me wished he didn't just say I was her babysitter.We didn’t know what we were. Even if we did, we couldn't let the public know now.This scandal had to die first. The oven beeped. I snapped out of my thoughts and took out the meat casserole.I was preparing a celebratory dinner for him. I texted him after the conference congratulating him. H

    NICHOLAS."Are you ready?" Chris asked.I sighed. "Are we ever actually ready for this?""Touché." He paused, staring at Luciana in his arms. "The media is on our side. You just have to sway the public."He insisted on coming with me. It was good to have at least one familiar face beside me."Guess I could do that.""I already booked us a private club room," he replied. "No girls. No scandal. Just us drinking our lives away."I scoffed. "Will that be good for my image?"He ran a hand through his hair. "Thinking about it now, it's probably the worst idea. We can go over to my place. We have to celebrate."I shrugged."So she's dead?" he asked.I nodded. "She wants to be. It's good for my story.""Noted.""Will you ever tell her?"He gestured toward Luciana, and I sighed."I don't know. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.""Understood."My PR team entered my office."The reporters are seated," the woman started. "It's time."I stood from my chair, buttoning up my suit."Go make us

    ASHLEY.My eyes fluttered open as the bright sunlight shone on my face.The first thought that entered my head was...We kissed... again.Then I finally looked around my surroundings.I could feel a hot breath on my neck.I froze.His beautiful hands were wrapped around my waist, my back pressed against his front.I smiled.He was interested in... us.There wasn't an us at the moment, but he felt something.I wasn't the only one in this.My feelings were more advanced, but he didn't need to know that.Then I remembered what today was.The day he said could either make or break him.I silently prayed he would be able to handle it all.That it would all end.I felt him waking up, so I quickly pretended I was still asleep.Don't ask why.He moved around, removing his hands from my waist.I felt his eyes boring into my face."So beautiful," he mumbled.I forced my eyes open at that."You can't lie. You can't act to save your life," he started. "Good to know."My cheeks warmed.I didn't kn

    ASHLEY I watched him frown at her, and I almost snorted. She didn't ask to be brought into this world.I looked down at her. She looked really sad, like she understood what that single look meant. That, she just got rejected by her own father.I ran a hand through her hair, and she looked up at

    ASHLEY."Lend me your blue shirt, Maya. It would go well with my black skirt tomorrow," I said after swallowing the food in my mouth."Sure. Still can't believe you're going to be working with my crush up close." She squealed.I rolled my eyes at her. She's one of his fans."It’s nothing special."

    There were times in life that you wished you could change some part of your life easily. Like erase them completely. That part of my life was related to Melissa.
