Anna weakly asked as the guy smiled before feeding her some water, "Louis," he answered as Anna smiled. "Could you call my best friend, Louis, can you tell her to meet me down at the hospital, I need her there with me." ______________________________________________________________________________________ Ashley had received the most shocking phone call stating that Anna had gone into early labor and was being rushed to the hospital as she desperately requested the presence of her best friend. Although Ashley and Anna had their differences, Ashley would never abandon her best friend especially when she needed her the most and that was right now. Jake had driven Ashley down to the hospital and from then onwards the couple had been waiting for what felt like years to receive any news about Anna and the baby, but so far, the halls
PREVIOUSLY ON HEAT VOL.2... "Would you like a job, Louis, a job that respects you, pays you deservingly, and makes you feel like you belong?" She asked as Louis's eyes lip up, "Would you like to work for me, Louis?" __________________________________________________________________________ "I'm so nervous," Anna said as both her and Ashley stood in front of the baby's new family's home, "Don't be, they'll love him," Ashley said as she looked down at the baby boy wrapped up in the baby blue blanket currently in Anna's arms as he laid sound asleep and that's how he's been since he left the hospital. "I just them to be prefect for him and vece versa," Anna said as Ashley smiled, "I bet they will be," she said as Anna nodded as she gaze upon her child. "Come on, let's go," Ashley beckoned as Anna looked at her before sighing as they began to walk towards the house. As she smiled down at her best friend, Ashley reached forward and ringed the doorbell before stepping back as they waite
PREVIOUSLY ON HEAT VOL.2...Jake was beyond frustrated and angry now. His head pounded and he felt sick to his stomach.All of a sudden, his phone pinged, it was his best friend and as he read the message, his heart began to race. What did his best friend mean by the text, it made him anxious."Hey bro, I got footage of your apartment's lobby and hall heading to your apartment and you wouldn't believe what I just saw, get down here ASAP!"___________________________________________________________________After dropping Anna back at the hotel, Ashley went to the house as she desperately wanted to be in Jake's arms.She tried calling him, but his phone was off, which was a bit odd, she thought but brushed it off thinking it had died or that he even turned it off to focus on work, she didn't mind.On her way home, Ashley seemed to have a lot on her mind. It's only been a few months and everything was moving so fast. Just a few months ago, her past lover re-entered her life forcing her t
PREVIOUSLY ON HEAT VOL 2......"I know what you did, Megan, and I thought you were crazy, but you're fucking insane, impregnated yourself with KY sperm is another level of crazy, Megan," he said as Megan remained silent, "But I bet you enjoyed it, huh, my little show?" He spitefully asked as a dark chuckle escaped from his lips."I just have one piece of advice for you, Megan, watch your back because when I find you, I'll make you pay."________________________As the call ended, Megan's heart began to race. Her worst nightmare was coming through and she didn't know what was worst, her going to prison or Jake finding and possibly killing her. She didn't think it would reach this far. All she wanted was Jake to stick by her side and return the love that she allegedly was giving him, but then Ashley came and turn his head.Before Megan could talk herself into calming down, she suddenly began hallucinating. The loud banging sounds, the voices, it was all too much for her. Sweating bucket
PREVIOUSLY ON HEAT VOL.2..."How's Megan?" Janet asked as Marie sighed, "I honestly don't know anymore," she said as Janet furrowed her eyebrows, "What do you mean?" She asked as Marie shook her head, "She's hooked over this guy, Jake, got arrested for breaking into his house, planting cameras," she explained as Janet scoffed, "Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," she said as Marie rolled her eyes."Please, I managed to get myself out of that stage and learn that men are not always needed, and now look at me, powerful, head-strong, and own her own million dollar company that I achieved without a man," she said as both she and her sister smirked before giggling as Marie's phone caught her attention."Hello?" She greeted before her face went ashen, drawing her sister's attention, "O-Okay, I'll be right there," she said before ending the call, "Who was that?" Janet asked as Marie stood up, "It's Megan, she's been rushed to the hospital."______________________________________
PREVIOUSLY ON HEAT VOL.2...As Jake walked away, he knew this whole drama was over, there was no coming back from it. It was time to move forward and continue with life. Sitting in the car, Jake turned to Ashley, who was already looking back at him, "So what now?" She asked as Jake grabbed her hand before looking down at her stomach, "I hope we have a daughter," he said as Ashley smiled before shaking her head, "What if it was a boy?" She asked as Jake shrugged, "Then I want a girl after," he said as Ashley laughed before nodding as cheese hard, "Then what?" She asked as Jake looked into her eyes."I want to ma-BAAM!"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!"_ _ _Everything happened so fast. There was so much blood. The screams and cries. Her dead eyes stared back at them as if to tell them to look at what they did to her. Ashley swore that nobody else dies and now Megan was dead, she had killed herself. It was traumatizing and when they thought they could move on and live a normal
PREVIOUSLY ON HEAT VOL. 2..."You know I was so angry at the possible fact that she could be pregnant with Jake's baby, but what if that baby was her source of happiness and love?" She questioned as the doctor smiled weakly, "Maybe," the doctor said as Ashley scoffed, "Yeah, but now she's dead."Megan was dead and who could be next?...Ashley spotted Jake and David chatting by David's car when exiting the hospital. Walking towards her, Jake suddenly noticed her presence as he stopped talking before looking her way. Ashley immediately ran into Jake's opened arms as her bottom lip quivered before a shout caught their attention. "Hey!" BAM!!!!!!!!!!"DAVID!!!!!!!!!"_____________________________________________________________________________________"I can't believe she shot him," Ashley said as both she and Jake waited for any word about David, "Technically, she was aiming at us and David took the bullet instead," Jake said as Ashley sighed in frustration as she held her face in her
PREVIOUSLY ON HEAT VOL. 2..."I'm going to miss you," she whispered as Jake looked into her eyes, "I'm going to miss you too," he said as Ashley walked towards him as his arms opened for him to embrace, "I love you and I want you to know that I'm doing this for us," she said as Jake kissed her head, "I know and I love you too," he said as Ashley raised her head to look up at him, "You'll keep me updated right?" He asked as he placed his hand on her growing stomach."Of course, daddy," she said as Jake nodded before leaning down to kiss her as they kissed passionately before pulling away, "We'll be alright, right, when you come back?" Jake asked as his eyes gloss over, "I hope so."..."Ladies and Gentlemen, Swiss International Air Lines, welcomes you to Switzerland, the local time is 6:45 a.m, for your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle clear until we are parked at the gate," said the flight attendant said as
“So you gave birth to a baby?” David asked as he sat in front of Ashley on the opposite couch sipping a cup of tea, while Ashley told him about the recent event that happened in Lamaze class.“No, David, I assisted in the birth of Irish’s baby,” Ashley confirmed as she curled up on the couch with covers wrapped around her, “Wow, who would’ve thought, and what did I tell you, Lamaze class will be great for your pregnancy,” he said as Ashley smiled before it slowly faded away. In contrast, she wrapped her arms around herself. “How did you feel about that?” David asked, watching as she slipped into deep thought.“Honestly, I was so scared and helpless, I mean, all the other mothers were so calm while I was in tears myself,” she explained as David listened to her talk.“Was it the experience or the thought?”“Both because they sort of connect,” she replied as David placed his cup down, sitting back to listen to his best friend. “How so?” “During that moment of hearing Irish’s screams an
"Oh my god, I think my water just broke," the very pregnant woman beside Jake and Ashley announced as everyone looked towards her with widened eyes filled with panic.Spreading her legs wider, the woman began to groan in panic as everyone rushed to her while the teacher rushed off to call an ambulance."Irish, honey, whatever you do, don't push," a black woman with a small growing belly advised as she sat in front of the woman, whose name was Irish, who began breathing heavily."I wouldn’t, but this baby is coming," Irish breathlessly said as she reached for the earnest hand, which happened to be Ashley’s hand.Clenching harshly down on Ashley’s hand, Ashley’s eyes widened at the strength, while her mouth gaped at the feeling of pain that shot up her hand and arm.Noticing his fiance’s discomfort, Jake tried to confront the mother in labor."Uh, excuse me, miss, you’re hurting my"SHUT THE FUCK UP, I’M HAVING A BABY!" The mother yelled as Jake immediately went silent as he sank to the
"Is she going to be alright?" David asked as they board the jet that he schedule since Ashley wanted to return home earlier than they had planned to stay.Upon arriving back at the house, David was greeted by a drained and depressed-looking couple, who greeted him weakly."Is everything alright?" David asked, watching as Jake carried Ashley up the stairs, "Ash wants to go home, can you make that happen?" Jake asked, causing David to stand up feeling more worried for his boss and best friend."Of course, I'll get right on it,"That night, they all board the private jet, which took them back to New York. While flying through the air, David glanced at Ashley, who lay further down in the jet behind Jake, on the left side of the plane, while Jake and David sat opposite one another."She will be, just a bit rattled by the reality check that the doctor gave us," Jake replied, earning a sigh from David, who continued to look at Ashley, who stirred in her sleep as she cuddled up in the seat."
PREVIOUSLY ON HEAT VOL 2Jake was awake the entire night after putting Ashley to sleep. She clings to him trying to reassure herself that he wasn't going to leave, which broke Jake's heart. Although it was Ashley's idea, he was angry at himself for being away from her. He had this incredibly annoying gut feeling the night before meeting Melissa. Instead of following his gut, he delayed himself and left her alone to deal with this horrifying misfortune. It broke his heart to lose one of his children but he was grateful because he was given another chance to continue to be a father and now, he was going to do everything in his power to protect his family.~~~3:45 a.m"Thought you stopped smoking," Ashley's sleepy voice filled the balcony as Jake turned to look at her before chuckling, "Can you blame me, it's been a pretty messed up week," he said, flickering away the cigarette as Ashley came over to sit on his lap."It has been a rough week, hasn't it, too bad I can't smoke," she joked
Dear readers, today is the 18th of January, 2023, and I'm sorry that it took me so long to submit this, but this book is at this moment on hold, it has been for a while now because honestly, I don't know where I'm heading with this story and just had to take a step back to see the bigger picture. I'm currently preparing other projects to get around that inspiration to complete this book, although I've thought of deleting the book, I couldn't, soon I hope to bounce back from this writer's block and complete this book. SO THIS BOOK IS CURRENTLY ON HOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Previously on Heat Vol 2...“I’m guessing you’re the father?” The doctor asked as Jake nodded his head, “Well dad, I’m about to explain to Ashley all about what’s going on,” he said as Jake nodded before holding Ashley’s hand.“Well, unfortunately, Ashley had gone through a miscarriage,” he said as Ashley shook her head with tears rapidly flowing down her face, “I-I’m sorry what?” Jake asked in disbelief as tears of his own welled up in his eyes as he stared at the doctor.“I’m so sorry, but this is very common with mothers who carry twins as one of the fetuses grows weaker than the other resulting in them dying,” he explained as everyone froze.“T-Twins?”…Ashley was devastated that she had lost one of her babies and secretly blamed herself for not being strong enough to grow both her children, but she was still grateful, grateful for still having the chance of being a mother, so she was going to do everything in her power to bring this baby into the world, even if it kills her. No
Previously on Heat Vol 2…I’m happy for you, Jake,” she said as Jake smiled before holding her tight. “Thank you, Mel,” he said before the sound of his phone going off caught their attention.“Is everything alright?” Melissa asked as Jake looked down at his phone in concern, “I have to go,” he said as he looked up at her earning a frantic nod, “Okay, go, you have my number,” she said as Jake quickly kissed her cheek before running as fast as he can. “Jake, you need to get Switzerland, something is wrong with Ashley and the baby.”…Everything happened so fast and without warning Jake burst into his mother’s house, startling her as she sat in the living room reading a book. “Jake, what on earth-” she said before the looking on her son’s face cut her sentence midway, “What’s wrong, Jake?” She asked as Jake ran his hands down his face, “Something’s wrong with Ashley and the baby, I have to go, mom,” he said as his mother stood up, “Then go, baby, go pack your stuff, I’ll organize a fl
Previously on Heat Vol 2… “I feel nothing for Ashley,” he said as David nodded his head, “And you will be nothing because right now as she’s here in Switzerland, her boyfriend and the father of her growing child is back home waiting for her,” David said before flashing Alexander a smile before walking away as Alexander felt defeated and embarrassed.… In her room, Ashley stood in the glory of her naked body as she stood in front of the long mirror. Biting down on her bottom lip, she gently rubs her growing stomach which seemed invisible until she turns slightly to the side as a smile graces her face. “Hello, mommy’s baby, wait until daddy sees you, I love you so much.”… Ashley was a bit disappointed that she missed Jake’s call and hoped that he wasn’t too worried about her. Giddiness filled her body as she jerked forward before running to the bathroom and emptying her stomach in the toilet. With tears running down her face, she gripped the toilet seat as she continued gagging
Previously on Heat Vol. 2As she left, Debby immediately smacked Jake on the arm causing his eyes to widen, “Ow, mom, wh-“What the hell is wrong with you, boy, are you stupid or stupid?” She asked as Jake’s face with blank, “Remember you’re here on a break, Jake, not to get cozy with your ex,” she said as Jake rolled his eyes, “It’s nothing serious, mom, it’s just catching up,” he said as Debby crossed his arms.“I hope you know that because if you mess up, you can kiss your family goodbye.”…After Jake and his mother left the diner, things were a bit tense between them which Jake hated. His mother was extremely disappointed in him for allowing someone from his past to easily slip in while he was trying to mend something important that meant everything to him. Debby knew her son, he was a looker and Melissa was his first love as he was hers. Melissa knew nothing about Jake being in a relationship and was soon to be a father, which makes her think that she could have a chance with J
