Chapter: Chapter 11Jackson’s POVI wasn’t a simp, or at least I didn’t think I was. I even had a reputation amongst each enthusiast in the New Jersey community. Jackson Brown wasn’t exactly the definition of lover boy, I showed up to events with everyone’s favorite girl of the moment on my arms but it was always just that.My secretary made sure of that, she said it was for publicity and I allowed her to do what she wanted, hadn’t she been the one to help the company get to the height it was in. I was second guessing my interests in Kylie, it was way too obsessive and every action she made affected my mood. It was one thing to fawn over someone for more than seven years, to feel things she had never imagined herself feeling for you and it was another thing to be so close to her and experience her invest her emotions in the wrong places.I wasn’t being a fool, I had the right to feel things and I also had the right to stay away when I felt my emotions were being too much, when they were taking away m

Chapter: Chapter 10 Kylie’s POVA lot was going on, in my head and in the villa. I stood at the balcony in my room with a million thought running through my head, I was fully dressed for work and deep down I knew the realization of my week’s activity was overwhelming me, but I wouldn’t let it.When I had thrown it all away to be with Austin I had envisioned a lifetime of struggles, yes, but my delusions had also assured me a lifetime of loving and loving. I knew what I got in return and it was….“Miss Kylie?” Someone called out to me, interrupting my self pitying and plotting.I turned around and found the nanny hovering over the entrance, the same one that had been since I was five. It brought back a rush of emotions, some sweet to think of and others, not so great.“Lily?” “Do you want your coffee the usual way?” She asked me, her sweet tone calling for me to run into her hands and remain there just like I used to when my father scolded me.“Black, very black.” I responded, I wasn’t going to be soft

Chapter: Chapter 9Austin POV“Arghhhhh" I was filled with fury and thoughts that I had made the wrong move by talking directly to Kylie and not waiting for Francis.“Ah, Mr. Nitaile, always a pleasure to see you,” a voice called out to me from behind the bar.It was the one and only Roman from The Oasis. Roman gathers and collects relaxing vodkas and spirits from around the globe and I'm on his top list of first tastes in the city.One of the reasons I was there that night.“Roman, my guy!" I sluggishly climbed down from the high stool and rigidly and firmly shook his hands.He was slightly taller than I was but that didn't belittle my influence in the Oasis.I was still a Top Dog.“One of new York’s finest,looking sharp, aren't you?”He complimented."I'd hardly say that” Hurrying and leaving Emily at home, I barely had time to refresh myself, looking sharp was the last thing I'd say I was at that point.“You humble, yh?" “That's not it, Roman, that's not" I slightly smiled.“Where's our new product

Chapter: Chapter 8Kylie POV What do you think you're doing?" Jackson held Austin's hand as he was about to hit me.“You were about to hit a woman?" Jackson held Austin's hands as he struggled to let go off his hands. Austin was about to raise his hand on me, thank God this divorce’s motion was already in place, I need to speed up the process and leave him with an ego not up to one.Jackson held Austin and pushed him to the side causing people to turn and look at our direction in alarm and concern.“If only she listened to me and not walked out on me” Austin tried to defend himself."And that gives you a reason to want to hit her?, have you no shame?” Jackson interjected and I stared at Austin in a familiar look."Shame Austin, shame, should we still speak about shame?” I smirked and adjusted my dress, there was a smudge of wine on the corset and it only made me more mad at him.He got the word play and still went on shamelessly, I've never seen him so irritating and I began wondering what attracted m

Chapter: Chapter 7Austin POV I smiled seeing my Ex-wife again. it was my first time seeing her after our last encounter at her appointment party.“Hey, Kylie!” I called out. She gently glanced behind, “You?!” Her face hardened. “Yes, me,” I responded, taking the next empty seat in front of her. With the two glasses of wine in front of her, I could tell she was not alone. “Are you on a date?” I asked, my voice low and I gently rested my back on the couch. “That is none of your business Austin. What do you want?” She inquired, folding her arms together and making a straight face. “I want my lost deal with Bhutan company back!” I commanded, my tone getting serious. “ Your what?- She burst into laughter, making me look like a clown. “Can you even hear yourself? How can you possibly get something that you already “lost?” She responded, emphasize on the word lost. “That is why I'm here. You are the CEO; I know you cancel the deal, and- “I am glad you are aware of that. I am sorry to disappoint

Chapter: Chapter 6Austin POV “You made Who? Me?! Get off your high horse, Kylie,” I responded, anger boiling inside of me. The fact that she is trying to change the whole thing, making it seem like she is the one divorcing me, really got on my last nerve. She has no right to be done with me, I am the one who is done with her! “Your time is up. This conversation is over!” “No! I am not done talking to you!” “Kylie! Kylie!” I glanced at my phone “oh shit!” I cursed seeing how she already ended the call. I used my hand to rub my hair backward; there was no way I would agree to her terms. I'm the one who filed for a divorce and I will do it my way. I grabbed my phone, and just when I was about to call Emily, a soft knock came from the door. My secretary Regina rushed in, “ Sir, we have a problem,” she stated. I frowned seeing how her face was all written with urgency, her voice panicking. She hesitated before she continued “ Bhutan canceled all deals with us!” My jaw dropped; the company's most cr
