HAYLEY’S P.O.V

Andrea- or my mother- stood there with her eyes wide and her mouth open. I wasn’t sure what she expected when she walked into this house. Did she think that we would welcome her with open arms?

She turned to me but dad was quick to push me behind him. “Don’t you dare look at her.”

“She is my daughter,” Andrea spat. “I deserve to see her, I deserve to know her.”

“You lost that right when you gave her away. Stay the fuck away from my family.”

“I could sue, you know? I could say I was coerced. Your family was rich, you threatened me, you made me feel like I had to do it. Your mother-”

At that point, I knew I had enough. I brushed past my dad despite his attempts to keep me behind him and stopped in front of the woman. There was no pull, nothing that joined us together, I felt nothing in regards to her, she was a stranger to me and that was how I liked it.

“You don’t get to say shit,” I cut her off. “I am not a toy to be fought over. You will not blame them for your mistake

    JAKE’S P.O.VI took Hayley to my house.I knew it was the only place she would get a semblance of privacy. Kate and her mother had gone out for the day meaning we had the entire house to ourselves, at least for a while.When we pulled up at the gate, Hayley snorted. “Of course you’d bring me here. I thought we were going somewhere different.”“Do you want to go somewhere different?”She pretended to think about it for a while before shaking her head. “I like it here, thank you. Are the others-”“No, we’re alone.”She tried to hide it but I saw the obvious relief on her face at the knowledge. She wasn’t ready to be around people, that was the only reason I had brought her here. She needed time to come to terms with everything, time to gather her own thoughts. Her grandmother had just died, one of the most important mother figures in her life and now, her birth mother was in her face.It felt like an insane coincidence but somehow, I doubted it was. From the way she spoke, it sounded li

    If there is one thing that I hate more than anything in this world, it is listening to investors drone on and on about their problems as if I care about it. It is not my fault that you don’t know how businesses work and that you refused to read the contract before signing. I cannot help the fact that you signed over fifty percent of your total earning instead of your profit.People only ever get a lawyer after they have fucked up instead of to prevent said fuck up. I am a lawyer not a miracle worker, I cannot help you.I took my glasses off my face and pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration as I looked at my father’s new client. To be honest, I don’t even know his name, and I don’t care. I work as one of my father’s lawyers. I am fresh out of law school so I don’t handle any of the major cases yet.“I’m sorry but I can’t help you.” I said cutting him off mid sentence. “It’s your job to help me.”“If you had brought the contract to me to read before signing then maybe I

    Jake left the house soon after that with dad and when my father returned late at night, Jake wasn’t with him.My father and I have had a routine ever since I was a kid. He is a very busy man with running his company and dealing with clients. Sometimes he would be late to events at school and sometimes even miss them.But every single day, we eat dinner together at 9 p.m. in front of the massive home theatre while watching a different movie. It was his way of making up for it and he only ever misses it when he travels.Last night was his turn to pick a movie and he picked a bloody slasher movie. I couldn’t tell you the name even if I tried. I spent the entire movie bitching about the characters and ridiculing their actions which led to dad telling me to shut up which then led me to telling him to pick better movies.Then he threw popcorn at me, then I threw some back, and from there, we just ended up talking about a bunch of crazy things before he threatened to shove a sock in my mouth

    The hair at the back of my neck stood on end as I took in the stoic look on his face. I nodded, wiped my hands against my shorts and followed him into the living room. He took off his jacket and tie and draped them over the armchair before turning to me.“If this is about Greg; it was not my fault.” “It’s not about Greg,” my dad chuckled, “Although, we do need to talk about him.”“There’s nothing to talk about; he was a dick and I treated him like a dick; story over.” I flashed a wide smile, “What did you want to talk about?”“I’m traveling tomorrow.” At first, I wondered why he made it such a big deal to tell me but then it hit me. “You’re not going to be here for the fourth of July.” He gave me a sheepish smile and nodded.My father and I have celebrated every Fourth of July together since the day I was born. His parents usually come over and we have this huge family barbeque in the backyard. For the last six years, Jake has been joining us as well. The barbeque will

    I could hear every ragged breath that left Jake’s lips, could feel the rise and fall of his chest as he stared down at me, could see the swirling darkness in his eyes. His desire was tangible, I could taste it, see it, feel it. We were so close to each other, it was almost like we were breathing the same air, feeling the same breeze, all it took was one wrong- or right- move and we would be pressed impossibly close together.Just when I thought he would make the move, he closed his eyes and took a slow step backwards. His rejection hit me square in the centre of my chest.“I’m not playing this game with you Hayley.”He had never rejected me so plainly before. But then again, I had never made my intentions known so plainly either. Maybe it was all in my head; maybe I made up those glances, read too much into them because I wanted to believe that he wanted me just as much as I wanted him. Maybe I was being delusional and I’m just the annoying little girl who he can’t seem to get rid of.

    I watched with baited breath as he slowly took off the jacket. He did it slowly, almost as if he wanted me to savor the moment; he wanted me to anticipate it, to want it- to crave it.The tie went next and he tossed it against my sofa. After, he slowly unbuttoned his shirt. It felt like hours before he was done but he didn’t shrug off the shirt. He made a twirling motion with his hands and I turned around to face him and sat on my knees.“Lie on your back.” He instructed.I did as he asked but a question was plaguing me and I had to let it out, “If you were going to have me on my back then why did you ask me to get on my knees?”“You ask too many questions.” He said after a beat of silence and I shrugged. “It comes with the job. I can’t exactly be a lawyer without asking- oh.”He hooked his hands behind my thighs and dragged me until I was half dangling off the bed. The action took me by surprise hence the little gasp that escaped me.He knelt between my legs and my breath hitc

    I woke up the next morning feeling like I was in some sort of bubble. I woke up with a euphoric feeling bubbling in my chest. It was almost like I could hear the birds singing by my bed and I could have sworn I would have woken up to a full rainbow in the centre of my room.Before I even opened my eyes I had decided it was going to be a good day. I lay in bed and thought about yesterday’s events and couldn’t help but smile sheepishly to myself. It feels like a dream and I don’t want to wake up from it.I finally gathered the courage to peel my eyes open and I glanced at the clock on my nightstand, it read 8: 05 a.m. I can’t remember the last time I woke up this late, then again, I can’t remember the last time I had an orgasm that intense; my bad, two orgasms that intense and in one night.I turned to the now cold side of the bed where Jake had slept. The dip was still there so I knew it wasn’t a dream but it was cold, indicating that he had gotten up a while ago. I wonder why he didn’

    Monday came by sooner than expected but also somehow longer than I would have wanted. The last thing I wanted was to be back in my office with Charles at my door every hour and annoying, stuck up, rich clients every other minute.Thankfully my next client didn’t stay long. She didn’t have any serious issues; she just had a contract she wanted me to look over for any loopholes she might have missed and give her pointers for anything she could add to grant her better benefits in their deal.As soon as she left, just before the door to my office closed finally, it was pushed open and Charles walked in. I forced down my groan of frustration and instead plastered on my most professional smile.“Is it okay if I sit?” he asked“Actually, I’m expecting another client right about now.”“Don’t worry,” he brushed me off and sat down. So much for asking me first, “I won’t be here very long.”I took a deep breath and counted to five, “What can I help you with?”“Yesterday was kind of awkward,” he

    HAYLEY’S P.O.VI fell asleep in my grandfather’s room. He seemed more comfortable with me there so I stayed. I sat on the couch and made up a stupid excuse about leaving later and I never did. I wasn’t able to sleep long or well for that matter but I knew I would do it again in a heartbeat.Before six, I was up and while I knew I had work today, I had no interest or energy in attending today so I didn’t. I should have felt bad for it but I didn’t. My clients could manage one day without me coming into work for sure.“Good morning,” I told Alana as I made my way into the kitchen.It was obvious she had stayed the night, her eyes were dark as if she hadn’t slept and I knew for a fact that mine looked the same.“You’re still in yesterday’s clothes,” she frowned and I looked down at my outfit.She was right, I had never gotten around to changing and somehow just forgot. “At least I slept. You look like you didn’t sleep a wink.”“Closing your eyes for an hour or two doesn’t count as sleep,

    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
