Jake.

Ashley’s smile was wide and beautiful. Her lips were painted bright red and her dress showed a very generous amount of cleavage.

“My mother hates you,” I said. “How did you get here?”

She turned and picked up a face mask and showed it to me with an evil grin on her face. She looked like a complete sociopath doing that.

“You went through all that trouble just to get into my room? I have not forgotten what you did to me so you better get out before my mood changes.”

“You haven’t been picking up my calls,” she said. “I had to do something to get your attention.”

“I have no interest in you,” I told her. “The truth is I was only using you to annoy Heather and my mother while we were on that trip. Now, I don’t care. And after knowing what you did to me and Cilla, I don’t want to be anywhere near you. I hate you because you ruined the one good thing in my life.”

“I know you feel that way, and I wanted to stay away as well, but I couldn’t. I’m pregnant and I know the child is yours.”

    Lilly.He looked so peaceful as he slept. He was perfect even in the morning when I looked like a ghost with a birds nest for hair. Jake, on the other hand, looked like an angel. But, he was far from it, and I had been full to let him in despite knowing that. He was the second worst male devil I knew, first being Kyle.I kept making the same stupid mistakes. But, I was done. No more. Reaching out, I shook Jake awake. He opened his eyes, and smiled when he saw me. “Good morning, baby.”“You need to leave now, Jake.”He frowned, sitting up. “What’s wrong?”“Just go. I can’t do this. I can’t pretend that everything is okay after what you did.”A few minutes after we broke up, he had gone off to Catalina Island with a woman that wasn’t me. If Jake thought I could act like that never happened, it meant he thought I was a total idiot. I was tired of being a fool for a man. “There are so many things I need to tell you. I can explain everything.”I shook my head, not wanting to hear it. “Ja

    Ashley’s POVOf course I was not pregnant. I had made some stupid decisions in my life, but I was not that stupid. I only lied to Jake out of boredom, to see what he would say. I needed an excuse to see him and possibly seduce him. Since I had slept with almost everyone in my circle, I needed fresh meat.The door opened and Richard Eyck walked in. He was a 60 year old real estate billionaire I had been in and off and on relationship with for some time. What I liked most about him was that he never cared how much of his money I spent, as long as I gave him what he wanted. The best thing was that he always finished so fast.“Hey baby,” he said.I faked a smile. In the past, age had never really mattered to me but after being with young and energetic Jake Rylland, older men did not seem fun anymore. I wanted someone like Jake. I wanted Jake.There were a lot of men who looked like Jake, and had the kind of money he did. Most of them were total jerks. But Jake was different. Sure, he coul

    Lilly.“I think someone is stalking me,” I told Leah a week later. I had just sat down at the diner where she had been waiting for me after leaving work early. Walking from the office to the diner, I had felt that someone was watching me. Even in the morning when I arrived at work, I had felt it. I called the officer in charge of Kyle’s case and he confirmed that Kyle was still behind bars. “Are you serious?” She asked before closing the book she had been reading and placing it on top of the table. I glanced at it before turning back to her.“Yeah.”“Are you sure you’re not worrying too much about Kyle?” she inquired. “Maybe it’s the stress making you hear things.”I shook my head. “I don’t think so. I’m very sure that someone is following me.”“Who do you think it could be? Kyle’s still in jail, right?”“Yeah.”“Maybe Mrs. Rylland is having you followed. Maybe she found out about your little tryst with Jake.”I looked around the diner. None of the people inside it looked suspicious.

    Jake Some years back, I arrived at my first ever apartment, not far from the University of New York where I was to study. A lot of my high school friends had joined the same university and I had lived in New York my whole life so it was not a big change. It was like being home away from home. The only difference was that I was nineteen and had a kind of freedom that my parents had never allowed me before. I could do whatever I wanted.At Castle apartment building, I met James Milner. James Milner was your typical jock. He looked like those thirty something year old men who play teens in movies and series. He had a muscled body, pretty face and was the quarterback of the football team. My family was rich, but James’ family was crazy rich. While we were of new money, he came from old money. The riches had been in his family for generations and generations. James did not have to work for anything. James was in his last year of college, older than me but he took me under his wing. We qu

    Jake.Johnny had been right. The sandy haired woman with wide and sharp eyes was quite the looker. The photo I had seen before did not do justice to her in a way. She was way more beautiful and warm in person, especially when wearing a casual red dress and heels. Her hair fell down the sides of her face in beautiful curls and her smile could melt the coldest heart. Had I met her first, I would have totally taken her.But Katarina Hayes belonged to my friend Johnny Knightley. Johnny and his beautiful girlfriend had decided to come to New York for a vacation. He also wanted to show her everything the big apple had to offer. As his best friend, I was one of those things. I was happy because they had come at a right time when I really needed a friend. Everything was driving me up the wall. Now that my best friend was back, I was starting to feel better.“So Katarina, do you see yourself living her or do you like your town better?” I asked. Katarina smiled. “That’s a hard one. I like my

    Jake.Although my father and I lived in the same city, we never spent a lot of time together. We did not have a lot in common. He was not very business savvy and had little interest in running the family business which was why he couldn’t wait for me to become old enough to handle everything. As soon as I took over, he decided to move to a quiet area in New Jersey and continue with his scientific research. I liked to think of him as a mad scientist. One of the reasons I didn’t like being around him was that he was always talking about science. After separating from my mother, he met some science teacher of his age and they started living together. They were both crazy about science since they even had a lab at home. Since my mother was driving me crazy, I had decided to go and see him because he was the only one who could understand what I was going through. He was the man who had married the devil, so he had idea what being a son of the devil was like. “I don’t understand why you

He’s Jake’s best friends. Birds of the same feather blah blah blah.”“How did I not know about him all that time I was doing my research?

Will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?”My eyes welled up in tears and I took his hand, helping him to his feet.“Yes, yes.
