As I was still pondering over it, I was surprised when I heard a car drive into the compound. The way the engine sounded, it clearly showed that the person was in a hurry.Speaking of the devil, I hissed under my breath. It was Ashton.What the hell was he doing here this early in the morning?I stood at the door, arms crossed, watching as he stepped out of his car. He came down majestically as though he were someone important.“What do you want this early morning?” I spat at him before he even got close enough.He let out a breath, trying to remain calm. “Good morning, Helen. Won’t you at least let me come in?”“No.”He raised an eyebrow. “And why not?”I laughed, shaking my head. “Tell your so-called whore to leave me alone.”That caught him off guard. He didn’t understand who I was talking about until I gave him a profound look and he saw it was Rose. “What?”“You heard me, Ashton. I just got intel that Rose has been asking about me. She’s been sniffing around my former city too.”

“Sir, we have a situation…” Dan said, running into my office. He sounded so anxious, as though the city was on fire.“What?” I asked, my heart racing. “What’s going on?”He gave me his phone; the screen lit up with an unknown number. “It’s the head of the Police Department here in Seattle. They need to talk to you.”I took the phone, surprised as to why the head of police wanted to talk to me. “Put them through.”“This is Chief Thompson,” a deep voice came through the line. “Sir, we just received information regarding a potential kidnapping attempt of one Miss Helen’s Kids, an actress here in this city on contract. We believe that Mrs. Rose has a hand in this.”My mouth dropped. “What?! Where are Helen's kids?” I asked sharply, my thoughts running wild. I needed to know they were safe.“They’re currently with her at her home,” The Chief responded. “We’re sending additional units to her location right now to ensure their safety.”“I’ll meet you there,” I said. I could not let anything

I hung up, irritation running through me as I stared at the wall across from me. “What’s wrong with everyone?” I muttered under my breath. “Can’t they see how dangerous Rose is? Am I the only one who sees this?”My head was spinning and I didn’t even know what to do anymore. I felt like I was in deep water, and every move I made only seemed to pull me further under. Would any of them actually help me get Helen back, or was I just making a bigger mess of everything?“Damn it!” I muttered to myself, walking around the area. “I need to have it all settled.”So, I grabbed my phone and called Dan's number, waiting for him to pick up.“Hey, Ashton, what’s going on?” Dan answered carefully.“I need you to get the police to release Rose,” I ordered, cutting right to the point.“What? Are you serious?” he asked, clearly taken aback. “After everything that happened? She’s a danger to Helen and the kids!”“I don’t care!” I shouted, feeling the anger boil over. “Just do it! No questions. Just ma

“Ashton, you have a meeting with the investors at 4 PM today,” Dan was saying as he walked into my office. His voice was clear, but I literally didn’t hear a thing of what he said. My mind was so far away. I didn't raise my head or even look his way. All I was lost in was how I was going to convince Helen that I love her with every fiber of my being.“Ashton… Ashton! Ashton!” Dan called out, and as his voice grew louder, I suddenly jerked out of my thoughts. He shook me gently and I snapped back to reality. “Uh…. Yes….. Yeah,” I stuttered, still a bit dazed. “What?”“Chill out, man,” he chuckled, his brow raised as he dropped the files he was holding on the table. “You look so troubled, like you lost seven major deals in a day.”“It’s not funny,” I said, frowning. I wasn’t ready to have Dan make me feel worse than I already was.“Okay, okay. I’m sorry!” Dan replied with a playful tone, trying to lighten my mood as he apologized. “But seriously, what’s going on? I’ve noticed since th

Now this is it,” Rita started, her eyes showing all seriousness. “I want you and Helen back together. In addition, since I am in town now, I want to see what I can do about it. Helen is my friend, and even though I know you messed up big time, I would want you both back together.”I tried to believe her words, because it all sounded like a lie to me. “Really? Are you serious?” I asked, a smile creeping onto my face, although at this point, I had no idea why I was still filled with a lot of doubt.“Is this some kind of prank or something?” I asked again, my voice showing how confused and excited I was at the same time.Rita shook her head firmly. “No, it’s not. If you’re ready to get Helen back, you will need me, and you will need to do all I tell you to do,” She replied, leaning in slightly. I could see the genuine intent in her facial expression. She was ready to help me out.My face lit up, as warmth spread through my chest at her words. “Wow! This is the best news I’ve heard in mo
