Peyton lies on the hospital bed,lifeless and weak. I haven't been able to think properly ever since the moment I saw her on the floor with blood oozing out from her head. I thought I almost lost her, negative thoughts are sucking the soul out of me. My body hurts from my own emotions weighing me down.
I thought that I always had a semblance of control. But I wasn't prepared for this.
My dad had encouraged me to stay strong and had given me many hugs but how was I supposed to stay okay when my friend tried to kill herself?
Was she going through something I don't know?
Everything hurts….

Chapter 14I could tell you the exact moment where my life began to pile with drama and drama. It subtly began when a certain billionaire decided to ask me out on a date or perhaps it might have begun when my dad decided to marry the most dramatic human in my twenty years of life. It was not a secret that Adah Fox was the most dramatic woman in the whole Jefferson town.There are some moments which I’d wished to rewind and start all over again partly because I was too embarrassed or my mom had embarrassed me. Right now, it was neither,Rather my dad,Mom and Gareth were gaping with their mouths hanging open staring at Ethan and myself like We are dancing to a Shakira song,twerking our butt in the hallways of the hospital.Now that I had thought of the possibilities,

Chapter 15“Pey,Please be safe,I love you,” I whispered, kissing her forehead. It's exactly three days since the incident and also the day I dreaded the most. Everything was not right, it started this morning When my dad refused to talk with me and ignored my questions even after I yelled at him. Sometimes, he's just plain rude and stubborn. No doubt in mind, he was mad at me for everything.Albeit, his ignorance made me want to do something rebellious and I found myself wishing Peyton would soon wake up so that We can finally move away from this shitty small town where I couldn't enjoy my life to the fullest.The sun has dipped at the horizon, the skies are painted with pink and white clouds from the sunset. I was on my way back to my house aft

Chapter 16The cabinet is open and closed downstairs, the sound of someone frantically preparing breakfast. My brows furrowed, Joy and Saddie would never voluntarily prepare breakfast unless I paid for them and neither did my dad. So, that means it was my MOM!I tugged Ethan by his hand and dashed down the stairs towards the kitchen and Holy Moly. My mother stood in the kitchen and stirred something in the pot. I refused to look at the thing.My dad is across the two vacant seats which I assumed is for Ethan and myself. He was dressed in a white Adidas shirt and khakis, his happy mood attire. I grinned mentally.“Hey Honey,” He smiled, lips thinned and gestured for us to sit.

Chapter 17What was the scariest thing that I've come across in my twenty years of life? I've asked those questions when I went to sleep or either when I couldn't concentrate on my economics classes, it wasn't a random question and there was no hell in need to think of those things but I had never stopped thinking even in my mind. Yeah, I know I am that talkative(mentally)Till ten minutes ago, I didn't have any clue but now, I did. It was my father's death glare at Ethan and myself. Ethan resembled a teenager who got caught making out with his first girlfriend by his mother and I resembled a shaking leaf.Fun facts; 1. Ethan is a CEO of one of the biggest companies in the whole of New york. Winter Fox

Chapter 18I pulled the sheets over my head trying to block out the voices and unwanted feelings especially for the billionaires that live down the street. It has been four freaking days since the night he asked me to marry him, the Memories were still fresh as new. I thought that marriage wasn't supposed to make me happy, No. The thought of getting married scares me a lot, but Ethan proved me wrong, yet, again. How am I supposed to feel good when all I wanted was to jump and shout YES?I did the only rational thing that was appropriate for such situations, I fled and haven't stepped out of the world ever since. Of course, I was exaggerating a bit,I do visit peyton daily and went to work by avoiding the street where he lives.Safe to say, I took the abandoned road.

Chapter 19When I had stepped my foot on the bar, Never in my life would I have thought that I would be meeting Ethan Knight who was supposedly the person who went on a date with me for one night, Who was invited by my parents and who had asked me to marry him!The embarrassment flooded through my soul and it continued to spread till my toes. I wish the ground would swallow me up when Ethan strode over towards my direction with confidence and power radiating off his body.What are the odds of us meeting in a strip club after that night? What was he even doing here? I tried to dismiss the jealousy seeping through my heart and forced myself to remind myself that now isn't the time to get jealous.“Winter

Chapter 20I sat on the stool waiting for Ethan to whip me breakfast. My day started beautifully eventful with Ethan waking me up by peppering a feathery kisses all over my face. Who would have thought that I, Winter Fox would wake up with a man on his bed. Apparently, I, the same Winter Fox did that this morning. But did I regret it? No.I still need to figure out why Ethan out of all people wanted me to marry him but his proposal was far too good to turn down.Besides, he wanted to help with Peyton's treatment if I were to marry him. Fifty thousand dollars for the treatment was a huge sum of money and dancing or striping amongst the crowd of drunken town people can't earn that much money so I did the only rational t

Chapter 21Ethan rubbed my hand in a comforting way, I fiddled with my diamond ring which lay on my left finger which Ethan had put it on my finger at the last moment. Mom and dad sat across from Ethan and I oblivious to the turmoil rising inside my chest. However, Ethan was expectantly calm and very understanding with his gentle touch and reassuring looks.Now that I think about it,Ethan has always been gentle and easy to approach since the first date we went. He was different from any other Rich people my dad introduced to me. With that thought, I concluded that he's one of a kind. His extremely gorgeous and exotic look added to his polite and great personality reminded me that he was out of my reach yet here he was asking me to marry me. A smile lit up my face, Albeit my conscience telling me that I agreed to his propo

Chapter 36 It's been a week since I came home from New York. It's been the best week in my home with my dad and my naughty niece and nephews. Piper is so huge with her nine months old baby bump. When she greeted me yesterday, I cried instantly because let's be honest. I've been so emotional and sensitive lately, crying over small things such as hearing Ethan's voice and seeing Gareth’s face. Currently, Piper and I were knitting woollen socks for her baby and I cried...again because the tiny socks are freaking cute. I imagined myself knitting tiny socks for my future kids and warm spreads in my chest. “Do you know if it's a baby girl or a baby boy?” I asked my sister who seemed to be glowing with happiness.

Chapter 35“Are you okay?” Ethan asked me,while I was putting on my clothes. He buttoned up his shirt,his eyes feasting on my body without an ounce of shame.But that doesn't mean I didn't crave for his attention.“I’m more than Okay. I feel strangely energetic” I smirked ”And freshly fucked…” He groaned and threw his head back.“Don’t say things like that if you want to walk out of my office without limping” He smirked knowingly.I threw my head back and laughed, shaking my head.“I’m too sore for that,Ethan”&nb

Chapter 3418+(mature content ahead)I jumped at his voice,blinking back the tears. Ethan's arms snaked around my waist pulling me unexplainably close towards him, his breath fanned over my face. His minty breath is one I’m so addicted to and all I wanted to do was taste his red soft lips. My wishes were fulfilled when his warm,soft lips came down on mine, almost knocking me over because of the force. I couldn't explain the relief in my chest when he pulled me closer as if the non-existence distances between our bodies is not enough. I moaned when his hands started to fondle my breast through my thin cotton tops.When I’m sure that my knees won't let me stand, Ethan pulls away slowly releasing my body and stares down at me. “Does that answer your questions or should I expl

Chapter 33“We met again,”Zach grinned from his seat, watching me with amusement evident in his eyes. I looked down at my shoe blushing like crazy. What's with me blushing around a gorgeous guy that isn't Ethan.“Indeed.What a coincidence!” I replied, sending him a smile.“Are you married?” Was his next question although the marital status of mine is not relevant to any of my books or our work.“Uh- No?” I make a face at my own reply. Zach stared at me with interest and then started typing on his laptop, making a clicking sound continuously. I hated that he's my editor, I wasn't even talented enough to let people read my works.&nb

Chapter 32Dressed in my warm sweaters and jeans along with my Ugg boots, I waited for Ethan to pick me up for our date. My hair is tied in a low bun, letting a few strands fall on my face.I applied my nude lipstick to make it look more natural in case red makes me look like a bitch. There has been a zoo of butterflies settling in my stomach ever since Ethan asked me out on a date last night. I felt so happy and giddy, my blood pumping with excitement and nervousness at the same time. I wrapped my neck with the scarf because apparently New York climate has the coldest air and as much as I wanted to flaunt my legs in my short dress, I don't want to end up in a hospital bed after my date.An hour later, I’m ready to retire in my bed because I don't want to start cussing Ethan in my bed because he stood me up.

Chapter 31Ethan pov“Steven, Meet me in my place” I hung up the call and loosen the hold of my tie needing to breathe. I need a fucking logical thinking to take care of my fiance. Why was she drunk last night looking so fucking sad and miserable like I had wounded her trust?Had I done something wrong? I couldn't stop thinking about the way she recoiled from my touch in the morning. Months ago, I wouldn't even be obsessing over a girl much less engaged but when it comes to Winter, I want her everyday in my life no matter how cringey as it sounds.The sound of footsteps entered my apartment, Steven stepped into my office with his signature frown on his face.

Chapter 30Three months later,I wake with the sun, with no sounds of birds chirping. Instead the sound of Ethan’s blaring alarm greeted my ears like an annoying buzzing of bees. I hit the device, halting the series of noises from deafening my ears. Ethan's heavy arms are daped around my waist, my naked body cocooned by his broad, warm body. I turned my face towards his peacefully sleeping form. I couldn't believe that someone that looked angelic and kind as Ethan is my fiance. I traced my fingers at the tip of his nose, his lips and finally down to his neck applying pressure and tickling there. I’m met with a groan.I smiled internally.“I told you not to do that” Groaned a deep,throaty

Chapter 29DripDripDrops of water dripped on the shiny, golden floor. I almost felt sorry if not for the fact that my body is shivering, I could have imagined my lips turning blue because of the standing under the shelter in my soaked clothes for God knows how long. When the elevator dinged, I had the sudden urge to jump and sing but I didn't have much time before I accidentally fell unconscious from the cold. Is it just me or Why does it feel like I’m with Jack on the Titanic. My feet shuffled towards the front door of Ethan's place, the door knob unlocked with a click after the third attempt because my shaking thumb is of not much help at the moment.I let out a scream seeing Ethan on the couch, si

Chapter 28I racked my brains thinking of various new plots which I have to submit in a few weeks. Leen had asked for something more different than my old style and I had a hard time working on it.New piece, new style, The pressure, the insecurities,Ethan, Peyton. Damn it! I couldn't think of a single sentence that made sense to me. I was tempted to write horror books, but was too much of a wuss to start imagining spirits and possessed characters, to make it live on my paper.Definitely not going there even if I’m tempted to do so.I was sitting, with my legs tucked under my butt, brainstorming ideas and eating ice-cream until the taste made me nauseous. The only thing I gained is my weight which is in serious need of running, so that's what I decided to do. A run in the park could perhaps give me inspiration.I put on my running gear and pulled my hair up in a p
