"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."
"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
“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
All the students gathered in the auditorium with their blue gowns and caps as widen smiles plastered on their faces. Families and friends gathered with wide smiles and teary eyes as they watched their daughters, sons, and best friends finished a special chapter in their life. Katie and Roger sat at the very front as they cheered as loud as they can when Ashley's name was called. The grin plastered on her face widened as she stood in front of the chancellor before he handed over her certificate while shaking her hand. Katie and Roger stood up applauding for Ashley as she turned towards them before blowing them kisses.She did it... She graduated college... But what now?_______________________Ashley passed around in her apartment located in New York, with her phone wedged between her ear and shoulder, "Anna, I'm telling you, I'm busy, I have to meet up with this photographer," she said as Anna scoffed at the other line, "Fine, but what ab
Today was another day, another great and successful day in Ashely's life. Once upon a time, this woman was viewed as the vulnerable stepsister that miserably fell in love with her stepbrother, but now tables are turned.Now, this woman was known for her great success, courage, mental strength, determination, and self-motivation.Now, she was known as Ashely Miller, CEO of the most well-known magazine company in New York City.______________*ALARM* *ALARM*Ashley opened her eyes as she straight at her white ceil with a blank expression. In her mind roams a million and one things at the same time that caused her to close her eyes and took a deep breath in before opening them once again."Today is a new day, new goals are being set there is no room for failure, you are beautiful, your mind is beautiful, you are intelligent, you are independent, you are grateful, I am grate
Ashley entered the meeting room with David not too far behind as they greeted staff of confused employees, "Good morning, everyone, thank you for coming due to our busy schedule," she said as both she and David took their seats at the very front of the table, "Good morning, Miss Miller," the staff greeted in unison earning a warm smile from Ashley, "Please sit down, guys," she ordered in a gentle tone as they took their seats before giving Ashley their undivided attention. "I know you guys must be wondering why I stopped all work in the company for everyone to meet up when it's unlikely of me to do so," she said as the employees nodded their heads, "Well, I have some great, big news that I know for sure will boost our company's standard, and I know you guys are here for this," she said as she gestured to all of her employees as their eyes sparkled in curiosity. Ashley crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair with one arm leaning on the arm of the cha
Ashley woke up with an aching sensation in between her legs. Events from last night came flooding back in as she rolled her eyes while letting out a frustrated sigh. Upon feeling Ashley's movement on the bed, Daniel turned in his place before slinging an arm across her covered waist, "Get your arm off of me, Daniel," Ashley said in an annoyed tone as Daniel groaned, "What's the problem babe?" He asked in a deep raspy morning tone as Ashley scoffed, "You know what's the problem, Daniel, I'm tired of telling you to stop f**king me like it's a one night stand," she said as Daniel smirked, "I'm sorry for being so rough on you, baby," he said pulling her closer as Ashely harshly shoved him away before getting off the bed, "F**k your fake ass apologize, Daniel," she said as Daniel sighed before sitting up, "What's your problem, Ashley, most women love rough sex," he said as Ashley shot him a disgusted look, "I'm not like most women, Daniel, and you should know that," she said as Daniel ro
Ashley stood frozen in her spot as she stared at her past lover, who seemed to be as shocked as her but manages to keep his cool. David, who seemed to notice Ashley's state, quickly nudges her in the rib before harshly whispering in her ear, "Girl, what has gotten into you, snap out of it," he said as Ashley immediately snapped out of her faze before flashing an awkward smile, "Mr. Leo, it's wonderful to see you once again," Ashley greeted as she reached forward to shake his hand, "Likewise, Miss Miller, I hope this isn't a bad time," he said as they all sat down, "Of course not, I'm delighted to have you and your guest," she said refusing to glance in the direction of Jake, who held an intense stare upon her, which David noticed and raised an eyebrow at, "Oh, where are my manners, this is Jake James, he's one of my best employees, he's responsible for all Starlink's graphic," he explained as he turned to place a hand on Jake's shoulder."Jake, this is Ashley Miller, CE

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
