HAYLEY’S P.O.V

I felt no urge to go to the office today but I knew I had to. I didn’t want to look suspicious if the police did come around. That was the only thing that made me drag myself out of bed. Jake must have dropped me there while I was asleep and left because he wasn’t there and I didn’t see him downstairs when I went down for breakfast.

“You hid the band aid well,” Alana mused as she placed the plate of pancakes in front of me. “You don’t have to go to work today-”

“I do,” I cut her off. “Just let me do this, please, Alana. I just need a quiet breakfast to get my head screwed on straight.”

She pursed her lips but nodded. “If you need anything, then please, don’t be afraid to tell me.”

I nodded and watched her walk away. Dad sat opposite me at the table but he said nothing. He wasn’t eating, he never did, he had an untouched mug of coffee in front of him but pretended to read something on his phone. Every few seconds, his eyes would flash over to me. I ignored it for the most

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VThe officers left shortly after that. They didn’t linger on me any longer and instead chose to question some of Charles’ other friends. Sienna hadn’t said a thing about me asking her to sit in for the questioning but I honestly doubted that she was going to. Unless I gave her reason to worry, I didn’t think she would.I could barely focus on my remaining clients. Thankfully, it was easy enough to blame it on the hectic nature of the day and the fact that we just had officers crawling around our building. As soon as I was done with my last client, I made my way over to dad’s office.“Did they talk to you?” I asked and he nodded.“I’m the boss, Hayley, of course they’ll talk to me,” he gestured for me to take the seat opposite him. “They also wanted to ask about why you didn’t attend the last team building exercise.”“What did you tell them?”“That you told me didn’t want to,” he said simply.“Did they ask more?”He snorted. “Of course they asked more but I told them that

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VJake texted me the moment he arrived. I offered to meet him downstairs but he claimed he wanted to do this right and wanted to speak to my dad first. I thought he was being absolutely absurd. We had already gone way past the stage of talking to my father, that was meant to come before he stuck his dick inside of me but he seemed determined so I let him do whatever he wanted.Their conversation didn’t take so long and when he walked out of the office, he didn’t seem pissed. If anything, his expression was neutral. I leaned against the door of my office watching him as he made his way over to me.“I hate the fact that we have to hide this,” he murmured as soon as he was close enough to me.“You know why we have to.”“I do,” he agreed. “But that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to pin you against the wall and kiss you senseless for everyone to watch.” Just like that, my mouth dried up. He smiled at my expression and took the bag from my hand. “Can you walk or do you need me

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VJake didn’t bring up the topic of us again. He just focused on making dinner and we ate in silence with Katherine who was more focused on her phone than on Jake and I. It didn’t feel tense or awkward though, it just felt normal. It was vastly different from dinner with my dad which usually involved a movie but that didn’t make it any less special.I didn’t want dinner to end because I knew it would result in me having to go home. I wanted to spend the night but even I knew that this wasn’t the right time. With everything going on, we were probably going to have lots of eyes on us and the last thing I wanted to do was lead the police right to Jake’s doorstep. They didn’t know about us being together and that was how I wanted to leave it.Jake drove me home and the ride was quiet. As soon as I got into the car, I connected my phone to it and played Taylor Swift softly. The corner of his lips quirked up and I could see him mouthing some of the lyrics out of the corner of m

    JAKE’S P.O.VI hadn’t seen Marie in a very long time. The last time I saw her was the year before I met Hayley for the first time which was just another rude reminder of just how large our age gap was. She looked as she always did, stuck up, pissed off and like she had a stick up her fucking ass.She had a designer bag in her hands that I knew she probably couldn’t afford, a large fur jacket that she must have been boiling inside because it was fucking hot and large glasses that covered her entire face. She took them off revealing those poisonous green eyes that I had become accustomed to and her lips curled up into a small smirk.“Did you really think you could keep me out?” she mused, her hands crossed over her chest. “How do I look, Jake? You were never good at giving compliments unless I asked.”“I always gave you compliments, you just didn’t care for them unless there was a deposit slip attached to it,” I deadpanned. “What do you want Marie? It has been years. Get out of my offic

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VThe last thing I expected to hear today was dad telling me that he was going to personally take me to Jake’s house. It was out of character and it was weird but the more I asked, the more evasive he became until he finally told me to ask Jake when we arrived.I was even more confused when he had a driver take us. My father had a driver on retainer but he almost never used him unless he was going somewhere important. I didn’t realize he considered Jake’s house important like that but I remained silent the entire car ride.We were ushered into the house like he was trying to watch out for someone and that only left me feeling more annoyed and confused. The moment the door shut behind me, I turned to face Jake who was waiting for us.“One of you better tell me what the fuck is going on here,” I snapped but neither of them said a word. “You just brought me in here like you were trying to hide my existence or something. Why the hell did this happen?”“Hayley-” Jake began but

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VI was having the most amazing dream. I couldn’t tell what it was about but I could feel it. I could feel the wisps of hair tickling the insides of my thighs, I could feel the firm hands on my hips and I could smell Jake’s cologne everywhere.It was the kind of dream that you never wanted to wake up from.I felt the warmth of his tongue sliding into my slit and I writhed in bed trying to get more of it. I could almost hear the filthy sounds that his mouth made against my skin as that familiar pressure built up in the base of my stomach. I felt as his finger curled inside of me and I exploded against his mouth, his name slipping from my lips as I did.I felt him tongue fuck me through my orgasm but I felt the rumble of his chuckle that I realized it was not a dream. I felt him climb onto me, careful to keep his body weight off me as he pressed a small kiss to my lips.“I know you’re awake,” he mused as his tongue slipped into my mouth.I let him, tasting myself on his lip

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VWhen Jake told me he had an ex, I assumed a lot of things.I assumed an ex-girlfriend or an ex fling, I even assumed an ex-fiancé for a while but I thought that if he had married the woman then surely, he would have told me. It didn’t make any sense for him to address her like that to me unless she was unimportant but clearly I was wrong and I hated being wrong more than anything.I held out a hand to Marie who was glaring at me with daggers in her eyes. “It is a pleasure to meet you, Marie, although I don’t know what you mean about fucking Jake.”“Save the pretense, I saw him drive you to work. What were you doing in his house if you weren’t fucking him?”“I don’t think it is my place to share the details of his private life but you are more than welcome to ask him yourself.”I made to leave but she grabbed my arm in a tight grip. For someone so small, her grip was harsh and slightly painful, but I kept my face perfectly impassive as I stared at her.“If you do not let

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VOur clothes were off before I even realized what was happening. This had little to do with savoring the moment and more to do with simply feeling him against me.He loved me.I tried to reconcile myself to the fact that it was true but it still felt like a fiction of my imagination. There was like and there was love; Jake wasn’t a child who minced words, if he said he loved me then he meant it.“I can almost hear the screws in your head because of how hard you’re thinking,” he teased, backing me up until my knees hit the back of the bed.“You just said that you loved me.”“And I’ll say it every fucking day if you need me to, stop thinking so hard,” he lay me gently on the bed, wasting no time in covering my body with his and kissing me again. “I meant it, Hayley, I love you.”My chest expanded to the point where it was almost painful. His words almost seemed to swell on my inside. I could listen to them every day and not be tired, it was my new favorite phrase and it wa

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VGrowing up I always thought about what it would feel like to see my mother.My dad had no pictures of her, it had been a stupid fling and she never reached out to him. He could have found her if he did but he never wanted to. He told me that if I still wanted to find her when I turned eighteen then he would.I went through all the stages of grief. There was anger at the fact that she had abandoned me and never tried to come back. There was the sadness and the feeling of not being enough for my own mother. By the time I turned eighteen, I didn’t care anymore and I told my father not to bother. It had always been me and him and that was how I wanted it.Seeing the woman in front of me brought back all those feelings of anger and betrayal bubbling up to my chest“I don’t have a mother,” I said finally. “You should leave.”“Please,” she grabbed my arm. “I just want to talk. I came all the way here to find you.”“I didn’t ask you to come here,” I spat jerking my hand out of

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VI sat next to my grandmother in silence.I had her hand in mine and listened to the rhythmic beeping of the machines that were hooked up to her. The doctor said that it was only a matter of time but he had given her something to help with the pain.In the midst of all this, I couldn’t get a grip on my own emotions. There was so much swirling inside of me, too many things that I couldn’t get a grip on them. I hadn’t felt this conflicted in a very long time, probably not since I was a teenager.There was anger and pain and guilt. Guilt that we had all the money in the world and I couldn’t stop this, guilt that I was so focused on my own issues that I didn’t even see that she was dying right in front of me. She came back so we could spend time with her and I barely spent any, I spent it running around with Jake and worrying about Marie and his potential child that didn’t even end up being his.I felt stupid and incredibly foolish to say the least and I hated feeling stupid

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VMy hands were shaking but I fisted them by my side until I got home. I needed a minute to myself to catch my breath, what I was not expecting was to find my father and Jake in the living room. They were discussing something but they immediately stopped as soon as they saw me.I was glad that they were getting along again but for fucks sake, I wished they took their business to Jake’s house because I knew that between the two of them, nothing ever went unnoticed.“We had the meeting with Marie,” Jake began as soon as he saw me. “She was pissed to say the least but-”“You should be going home,” I told Jake and his brows furrowed in confusion.I knew I was being rude but right now, I didn’t have the patience to be nice. He needed to go home because I wasn’t sure if the question from the police was mere curiosity or if it was a threat but if they were going to follow the trail then chances were that they might officially ask me who I was with and that would mean implicating

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VThe sound of whispers woke me up.I tried to ignore it at first but it only got more urgent and I felt the covers shift as Jake got out of bed. With a small groan, I peeled my eyes open, the room was still dark, the only source of light was from the moon that spilled in through the drawn curtains.“Are you sure?” I heard Jake ask, the urgency in his voice taking away whatever remnants of sleep were left in me.I dragged myself up into a sitting position and my eyes found Jake. He was standing with his back to me, shirtless save for the boxer briefs he wore to bed and he was pacing. That was never a good sign because Jake never paced, at least not when everything was fine.“What’s wrong?”He turned to me, almost surprised and cursed. “Go back to bed, Hayley. Don’t worry about me.”“You’re pacing like a mad man and you look like shit,” I leaned over to turn on the bedside lamp drowning the room with a soft orange glow. “What’s wrong?”“The results are in.”If I wasn’t ale

    JAKE’S P.O.VThe bottle of whiskey almost seemed to mock me as it sat on my dining table.A few years ago, I would have drank the entire bottle until I forgot everything and taken the first plane out of the city- maybe even the country. I had a knack for running away from my problems. It was what I did when Marie left me for the first time. I was living in California at the time and I got on the first place to London.I stayed there for a few weeks and by the time I returned, I packed everything up and moved to Las Vegas. I moved around a few times before finally deciding on New York because I remembered that Michael stayed here.Now, however, there was nowhere for me to run. It wasn’t because I couldn’t, I had too much to leave here. I could always leave the office and go to one of the many branches over the country so it wasn’t about work, but I had Hayley. I wasn’t completely sure if I had her, she seemed ready to run but I couldn’t blame her.I had to leave her in bed this morning

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VI woke up with the knowledge that someone was in my room.I didn’t know who it was but there was a feeling at the back of my neck that alerted me to the fact that I was being watched. I couldn’t brush it off no matter how hard I tried so I reached out for the nightlight and turned it on casting the room in a warm orange glow. I found the person staring at me seated right opposite my bed.I glanced over at the clock beside me. It read one thirty a.m. “How long have you been here?”“In your room or in your house?” Jake asked not missing a beat.To his credit, he didn’t seem to be drunk but then again, he never drank that much. Even if he did drink at whatever time he arrived here first, chances were that the alcohol was already out of his system and he was sober.“My house,” I responded to his earlier question.“Eleven.”“My room?”“Twelve.”I raised a brow. I wondered how I didn’t realize he was here earlier. I was the kind o child who woke up the minute someone opened m

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VIt was amusing how many people were interested in my love life.I tried to keep my head screwed on straight, tried to focus on making my day run as smoothly as possible but everyone else had other plans. Everyone had an opinion about my relationship, even my clients would allude to it during our meetings. I tried to keep everything as professional as possible but by lunch, I was tired.As usual, Jake sent me lunch and Sienna brought it up for me. I had no idea why she chose to act like my personal assistant but I wasn’t complaining because I truly didn’t want to leave my office and face the crowd. It had little to do with fear and more to do with the fact that if I did and someone said the wrong thing, I was going to snap.“You can sit here if you want,” I told Sienna and her eyes widened in surprise. “Stop staring at me like you just won the lottery.”“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, Hayley, but you are not exactly a people person. You don’t invite people into your off

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VMy father was in my boyfriend’s living room.It took me longer than it should have it process what I was seeing because for a full minute, I just stood there staring and wondering if what I was seeing was an apparition or a figment of my imagination.Dad was in a tailored suit and he sat at the counter with Jake. They were looking over the files together and I just stood there watching until I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. Kate handed me a mug of steaming hot coffee with a smile.“You look like you’ll need that,” she whispered and I couldn’t help but laugh. I did need it.The sound caught my father’s attention and he turned to me with a smile. He walked over to me and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. I was suddenly so grateful that I decided to put on something before coming down. It would have been incredibly distasteful for my father to see me in nothing but Jake’s shirt.“Did you bring clothes for me?” I asked and his brows furrowed in confusion. “Work clothes,

    HAYLEY’S P.O.V“Hayley,” I heard Jake call my name but his voice sounded like a buzzing in my ears.I could hear my father speaking but I couldn’t make out his words. My eyes were completely fixed on the words on my screen. I knew it was Marie, it had to be her. No one else could have leaked the news to the press in record time.I wasn’t sure whether to be pissed or impressed. I had grossly underestimated her and that was my mistake. She was a cunning individual and I wish I had thought about that before I pissed her off and became her number one enemy.A warm hand settled on my shoulder and I nearly jumped. Jake looked pissed but also sad at the same time. He watched me with a fear in his eyes as if he thought I was going to run away and leave him. I could tell he wanted to do more than just touch my shoulder but he was holding back for my benefit.“She’s smart, I’ll give her that,” I said finally and I could see everyone’s faces twist with confusion. I lifted my phone to my ear and
