Catherine Ashton
After meeting with his friends, Jacob took me to a jewelry shop. He told me that we have to buy an engagement ring because there's an important dinner between businessmen and women in Toronto.
I've always thought that one day I will get engaged in a most romantic way but I guess I won't now. Instead of getting a romantic proposal, I'm buying my own ring at the store. It broke my heart actually and I don't even want to go inside to pick my own ring.
Crystal and Tatiana were married to the love of their lives, I asked them about it earlier and I can't help but feeling jealous. I mean Tatiana was forced into the marriage but she ended up falling for him. I mean I think I'm so unlucky when it comes to life.
"You okay?" Jacob asked and I looked at him c
Catherine Ashton"Catherine? Are you awake?" I heard Jacob asking me through the door."Yeah. Come in." I said and he walked inside."It's so dark." He commented but I ignored him. It's almost midnight and he just got home from the dinner with his grandpa. I turned on the lights beside the bed and I can see him still wearing his suit. He sat beside the bed and looked at me."How are you feeling?" He asked."A little better." I said."You were crying huh?" I was speechless, how did he know? He took the ring from the table beside the bed and he looked at it."Can you tell me why?" He asked in an unreadable tone.
Jacob WilliamI looked at the ring that I gave her yesterday and still don't get it why she was so sad about it. Did I say something? Is the ring not beautiful enough? I mean I know we shared a night last night but I still want to know."Your grandpa said that.. you have to go to the office later on at 3 to attend meetings." I turned to Catherine who's currently walking towards me."Okay." I said and she sat next to me. We both are currently sitting at the edge of the swimming pool with our legs dipped inside the water. I gave her the ring and she took it from me. She slipped it to her ring finger."Do you want to tell me why you cried last night?""I just want to be happy, is it a crime to just be happy?" She said as she l
Catherine AshtonJacob told me that Ian, Tatiana, Nate, Joan along with Lucas and Crystal will be going to Trillium Park this evening and he asked me if I want to join him. I told him of course and he will pick me up in 5 minutes. He told me to wear sports attire because we're going to a jog and a pingpong game.Jacob will change into his sports attire as soon as he got here and I will wait in the car."Hey.. I'm here." Jacob said and I got out from my room, ran downstairs quickly. I saw Jacob parking his car and I walked out."Hey, how's the meeting?" I asked."It was great, here.." He threw me the car key and he walked inside. I got into the car and started it. As I'm waiting for him, I decided to just go into my social m
Jacob William"Why are you here.. in the middle of the night?" I turned to see Catherine holding her cup before she sat beside me putting her legs into the pool too."I can't sleep." I wasn't lying, there's a lot going on inside my head."The wedding?""Yeah and some work." I nodded as I looked up to the sky. The moon shined brightly tonight and it made me a little calm for some reasons."You can tell me if you have something in mind." I turned to her and she smiled nodding as she raised her cup a little. I turned back looking at the pool with the reflection of the moon on it."I'm fine, I just can't sleep.""I'm a little bit curious, how di
Catherine Ashton"Which one do you like the best?" I asked Jacob."I like the chocolate one and the red velvet one." He said as he pointed the two cakes with the fork. I nodded and I looked at the cakes in front of me, completely confused which one to decide because everything is so good."How about you?" Jacob asked me."I like the chocolate and this one." I said as I pointed at the vanilla cake."We can mix the two if you want." I turned to Melinda who's in charge to help us with the cake tasting."Really? Well.. what do you think?" I turned to Jacob and he nodded."Please don't make it too sweet though.. The chocolate one is a little bit
Tim Ashton"I told you that Jacob will never back out from this marriage, he's too attach to Catherine now." I said confidently and Joseph laughed from the other side."You're right and you know what? They often have a sleep over at each other's room." He said making me smile evilly as I took my cup of coffee."Catherine has a soft heart, I kept faking my sickness everytime we missed her and this time.. she won't back out." I said and I sipped my coffee slowly."She finished picking the invitation and we're almost there, Tim." Joe said and I can't help but nodding even though he can't see."We need to take a step further, Joe." I said as I put down my cup of coffee."What is that?"
Jacob WilliamsAs soon as I landed in Los Angeles, I went straight to her house. Her grandfather greeted me right away when I arrived even though it's late at night. I borrowed my other friend's jet to go to LA."Jacob, what brings you here?" Tim asked."I had a meeting earlier and I thought why not go visit Catherine. I hope you don't mind." I smiled politely and he patted my back nodding."Of course.. I mean you're going to be a part of our family so you can come here anytime you like." He said."Thankyou.. is Catherine home? She doesn't answer my calls.""Oh.. she just got home and she's so drunk." He said and I checked the time. It's almost midnight.
Jacob Williams"Good morning, Jacob." Tim patted my back as he sat on the chair beside me with his tea."Good morning, Tim." I smiled to him and he looked down to my hand."What's wrong with the ring? Is it too big?" He asked."Nope, Catherine took it off and put it on the table beside her bed. I'm just admiring it." I said as I leaned my body completely to the chair."If you think that she's trying to back off, she won't." Tim said and I turned to him. He's smiling at me as he picks up his cup of tea."You can't blame us for thinking about it, Tim. I'm sorry for being so straight forward but.. this is an arranged marriage and we both don't love each other." I said and he chuckled n
Jacob WilliamOur grandpas dragged us both to have dinner together. They still don't know that me and Catherine are already engaged. I told Catherine to hide the ring first so we can fool those two after they fooled us back in the days."Two you have to get married.. she's going to be pregnant soon." Tim said and Catherine looked at him disbelief."We used protection." We didn't.. and it's been 4 months since we engaged and we never use protection. We've been busy preparing the wedding secretly. Her parents knew but they're willingly to cooperate to keep it secret from Tim."But still.. you two have to get married.""Will you two stop?" I hissed coldly and they both turned to me."W
Catherine AshtonI smiled widely when I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and it's Jacob. I told him to come to my hotel instead of me going to his house. Our grandpas will screw us again."I miss you!" I jumped at him and he chuckled."I miss you too.. and why are you wearing a dress? Are you going somewhere?" He asked as he looked at me from head to toe. I crashed my lips to his and tried to take his suit off but he won't let me. He pushed me slowly and I looked at him a little furious."I can't wait.. will you cooperate?" I said honestly and he shook his head. I looked at him disbelief and pouted."What? You're not in the mood?" I asked as I crossed my arms."I can tea
Catherine AshtonI opened my eyes slowly and turned to see Jacob sleeping soundly beside me. I kissed his cheek and got up from the bed to go to the bathroom. I took a warm bath to relax myself and checked my social media accounts.Suddenly the door opened revealing Jacob and he smiled. He brought his naked ass to the bathtub making all the water filled the whole bathtub. I put my phone down and he pulled me closer to him."Morning beautiful." He said and he gave me a peck on the lips."Morning." I smiled widely and he gestured to me to turn around. I turned my body and he pulled me to him with my back facing him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and he trailed kisses to my shoulder."So.. what's our plan for today huh?"
ChapterCatherine AshtonI walked out from the lobby after calling my chauffer to come and pick me up. Suddenly someone stopped me by holding on to my wrist."You're Catherine Ashton right?" It's Prince Logan."Yes, Your Highness.""You can call me Logan, nice to meet you and thanks for helping earlier inside." He said and I smiled nodding."It's okay.""I'm assuming you still have feelings for Kyle Denver or maybe his real name Jacob William." He said and I nodded weakly."And you? For Mandy?""Her real name is Amanda, please call her Amanda." He hissed as h
Jacob William"Thankyou so much, Mr. Dexter. Our wedding will come soon, we'll send you an invitation." Mandy said to Mr. Dexter as she shook his hand. I smiled to him politely and we walked towards to the drink section."I hate lying.. we will never have our wedding." Mandy said as she leaned her head to my shoulder."Don't worry, it's for our own good." I patted her hand and she sighed. I heard a lot of people talking on the entrance of the event. I turned my attention to the crowd and I saw a man walking into the venue with his bodyguards.He scanned the room and his eyes landed on me. He gestured the guards to leave and the crowd didn't even dare to approach him. He walked towards me and Mandy which makes me raising my eyebrows.
Jacob William"Mr. William, your best friend is here." My secretary announced and I nodded at her to let him in. I stopped whatever I'm doing and I got up from my seat. Brad did call me to have lunch together so I'll just go out and meet him in front of the lift.I put on my suit and the door opened. Instead of Brad coming in, it was Catherine."Hi." She waved her hand awkwardly and I looked at her coldly."I think I have to-""I brought you your favorite steak." She said as she showed me the paper bag."What are you doing here?" I asked and she walked towards my table. She put the steak but I stopped her. She turned to me and she looked straight into my eyes.
Catherine AshtonI looked at the ballroom blankly debating should I go inside or go back to the hotel. Why am I here in the first place? Just to see Jacob? I was going to take a step back when somebody poked my shoulder. I turned to see Brad smiling at me."He's in there.." He said and I nodded."You need to talk to him." He added."I don't think we have things to talk about, Brad." I said and he pushed me into the ballroom. He pointed at Jacob who's currently talking to someone with a beautiful blonde girl in his arms."He has a girlfriend." I said as I turned to Brad."You know him well, Catherine. You worked for him for years.""But that'
Catherine AshtonI looked outside the window as I crossed my arms in front of my chest. It's been a long day after a long list of meetings. I let out a deep sigh as I looked down to the busy streets of Los Angeles.I turned my body around and sat down on my chair looking at the article in front of me. It was about Jacob who successfully opened up his wings in the oil industry. I leaned back to my seat and I can't help but feel a little sad again.It's been 2 years.After I got back from Texas, I found out that he left. He left me with the news that he cancelled the wedding. I didn't know how to react at that time hearing about the news from my grandfather. I felt like the world around me shattered right in front of my eyes, I was disappointed, I was so mad but I ca
Jacob AshtonI knew something was suspicious, she ran away. It was so positive that I don't need to confirm it. I saw it in her eyes when she left the house. I sat down alone beside the pool as I thought about this.I'll just cancel the wedding because it's the best for the both of us. We want different things and I know that by marrying, the both of us won't get anything.I like her.. I do but I don't want to chain her into this marriage. I think she still likes her ex-fiance and there's no doubt that she doesn't like me. I got up from my seat and walked inside to find Tim's studies."Hi. Are you busy?" I said as I walked into his studies."No.. come in, Jacob." He said and I sat in front of him.
