Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! How could he be so stupid as to kiss her again? After he had found her freaking out in the bathroom, he had already decided not to touch her again. It was obvious that she was not used to being kissed like that and it had affected her very much Hell, he could understand her; he himself had been bowled by the sexual interlude between them.The chemistry was getting out of hand and it was becoming hard to control. He had to let her go. For her sake. Abruptly, before his resolve could weaken, he wrenched himself from the kiss and muttered something under his breath not quite meeting her eyes.He could not give in to his desire for her and sleep with her. Not while they still had the deal between them. He was paying her to pretend to be his girlfriend for Heaven’s sake and whatever happened between them now, he was sure she was going to regret it come morning. Hell, she would feel like his whore if they slept together and he didn’t want that.Not for her. Even if h

As Ashton sat rigid in the church for the funeral procession, he was still reeling from shock. Uncle Devin was truly gone. Forever. And he regretted suspecting him for nothing. He regretted having reacted so angrily as he had at the hospital. As it is he had ben distressed by the emotional dependence he was having with Selena and on top of that he had thought that Uncle Devin was meddling again.To him, Uncle Devin had been a friend and mentor ever since he was a kid. He had spoilt him so much and had been proud of him whatever. He knew that kind of unconditional love was rare to have and all he had done was defy him and tried to outrun him without really understanding why he had wanted to control their lives. It hadn’t been a whim; on the contrary it had been a way to express his love for his children. How they had misjudged him and Ashton wished that he could repay him in some way.And he felt bad for having made up the charade now. If only he had known that Uncle Devin was that sic

Ashton Jacob Cooper was not in a very good mood. In fact, he was in a horrible mood. And damned if he knew why. Nobody was approaching him in the office since he was acting as ferocious as a wounded bear. For the past week. Ever since that damned stupid woman had left his office and his life.It was pure hell working without her. Not because of the workload; he was managing that all right thanks to the processes she had put in place. It was hell because every time someone was passing by his office door, his foolish heart missed a beat thinking it was her. And it was irritating him so much that he had to find some other things to keep his mind busy.And as if it was not enough, yesterday he had caught her moving out. On top of that to California! To Somerville. He had not slept a wink last night; had been tormented with thought of Selena with that damned Somerville. How was she so readily willing to hook up with that man anyway? Ashton believed he could offer him more than that damned

“All’s well that ends well, Dev,” Ana said looking down at the enlaced shadow of their children in each house. Jake and Rachel were happy playing with baby Adam in the nursery while Ashton and Selena was hugging each other not wanting to let each other away from their sight.Devin grinned at the love of his life. They were in Heaven but was still keeping a watch on their children wishing them all the happiness of the world. Parents could never forget their children wherever they were. It was the law of nature.“Yes sweets. I was right all along,” he said smugly cuddling his Ana close.“Of course you were honey,” Ana said looking at the him her eyes glowing with feelings for him. He was the best husband and king that could ever exist. Even God has acknowledged that he was a good soul when she was around. And had forgiven his past sins.Dev had his kingdom in Heaven now and she was his queen. Of course there was no other way since she had pleaded to God to forgive him and she would vouc
