ASHLEY.

I tried calling again.

Same response.

The same automated voice.

It was almost midnight. It was unlike him.

I went back to my social media accounts. The comments were still there.

I knew he said he was used to them... but no one should be used to something like this.

They were vile.

All because he had a child.

So what if she was born out of wedlock? That didn't define either of them.

Or maybe I would just never understand his world.

Melissa still hadn't texted.

    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

    NICHOLAS. I was threading on a dangerous territory. And I didn't want to stop."Ask me to stop," I breathed.Her lips parted. "I don't want you to stop."That broke down my last thread of control.The sensible part of me.I kissed her.Before I could second guess anything. Before I could overthink the situation.She moaned like she wanted this as much as I did.I put a hand on her waist, the other on her neck pulling her closer.Every single one of my problem disappeared into the back of my head as our lips met. The kiss deepened, and I lost myself in it completely.She tasted like the lasagna we just had. I didn't know how much I wanted her like this until now. My hand tightened at her waist, pulling her flush against me until there was no space left between us.She shifted.And then she was straddling me.The air left my lungs in one slow, controlled exhale that took every ounce of discipline I had. Her knees settled on either side of my thighs, and she was right there - close en

That didn't define either of them.Or maybe I would just never understand his world.Melissa still hadn't texted.That was enough to make my heart race.Not out of jittery anticipation, but fear.She was definitely doing it on purpose.She wanted me to crack... unravel.And I was doing just that.I tried his number again.I was worried sick about him.I cared more than I should.I got up from the chair when I heard a car driving in outside.I rushed out immediately and waited for him by the front porch.When he stepped out, he looked disheveled.Good disheveled.His tie hung loose around his neck. Several buttons of his shirt were u

    NICHOLAS.Punch!Investors pulling out.Punch.Stocks tanking.Punch.The media being pests.Punch.I could lose everything.The punching bag ripped open. It was the second one today.I removed my boxing gloves and threw them to the side.Fuck.I gripped my hair in frustration.Of all things...I had to drag Ashley into this.The poor girl.I read the comments until I couldn't take them anymore.It always amazed me how quickly people could turn against you.One minute, I was adored.The next, I was being dragged online by the same people who used to worship me.The number one eligible bachelor.Now they were calling me names - some I was already used to hearing.Ashley wasn't.And I was relieved she hadn't told me she was leaving.I wouldn't blame her if she wanted to.This life...Wasn't easy.Being rich meant being watched.Constantly.It was exhausting.One wrong move and the cameras were ready.I walked out of the room.I could already picture the judgmental looks from my PR team

  • The Reluctant Daddy CEO    Chapter Fifty Six : Popular in a minute.

    ASHLEY. My phone kept blowing up.With messages from my supposedly friends in high school and college - the people I never exchanged more than five words with.One picture with the infamous billionaire could make anyone popular in a minute.After his security team pushed through the crowd, we got home safely.Two hours passed, and nothing happened.Then hell broke loose an hour later.I was labelled the baby mama in some tabloids.The mystery woman in others.My social media account gained a few hundred followers in the past hour.I could hear Nick barking orders in Italian. He had been on his phone since we got back.I didn't know what this meant for him.But the public reaction wasn't good.So many curse words. I was seeing some of them for the first time.His stocks had tanked 2.5% in the past hour.According to the news, two investors had already pulled out.I couldn't read anymore, so I threw my phone into the corner.Lucy was sleeping soundly, her temperature back to normal.So

    Chapter Fifty Five. NICHOLAS"How much time is left?" I asked the nearest flight attendant for what had to be the millionth time."I'll go and ask the pilot, sir," she replied gently.Was she okay?I didn't know.I already switched off my phone.I ran a hand through my hair before shoving both hands into the pocket of my hoodie.I had seen Ashley's missed calls and text the moment my meeting with the investors ended.My phone had been on Do Not Disturb."About thirty minutes, sir," the flight attendant said when she returned.I nodded distractedly and leaned back in my seat.One of the perks of owning a private jet.The pilot was ready anytime.I closed my eyes and silently prayed.Please let her be okay.My mind drifted to the morning I left.She had clung to my dress pants, crying so hard that I almost canceled the trip.I ended up bribing her with ice cream.Just one scoop.The memory pulled a sad smile from my lips.Seven days.I'd only been gone for seven days.And somehow every
