ASHLEY.
I thought I knew pain.
I thought I have succeeded in growing familiar with the sensation.
I thought there could be no greater pain than the one I felt that day, after I learnt my boyfriend had been cheating on me.
However, as I watch Sinclair walk away from me; it occurred to me I don't. And the pain I felt with Dave is nothing compared to the one I feel as his figure disappears through the door.
It hurts. So damn more than it ever hurt before.
My heart feels like it's just been jabbed with silverware. A sharp-pointed one, then twisted till it bleeds.
"Fuck!" I cuss as I fall back against the couch, my palm shrouding my face as I strive so fucking hard to hold back my sobs.
How the hell did it get to this? Everything was going so well. I was havin

ASHLEY. I swallow down as the reason this place felt so familiar in the first place finally sinks in. This is Vincent's bureau. My eyes move to the girl beside Sinclair. She has her hand swaddled over his shoulder, and she's laughing at whatever my brother is telling along with him. My heart aches at the sight and I step back, attempting to walk out of here before they notice me, but life must be fucking around with me because Vincent chose that time to lift his head; his gaze moving across the room and meeting mine. "Ashley, " he enunciates. I can barely hear his voice from where I stand, and the low voices of the shoppers, but I can listen to the murmur. "Fuck. " I cuss under my breath as I wave at him with a small smile on my face, and he motions for me to come forward. "I didn't

DAVE. "I already informed you, Dave! I did everything I could. It's not my fucking fault she doesn't believe me!" Quinn snaps, pacing ahead of me, her hands snagged in her hair. "She wasn't at the party. " I remind her, and she comes to a halt, glaring at me. "I did, in fact, invite her. You can ask her if you don't believe me. I've done so many terrible things to her, Dave. You can't possibly expect her to reckon when I say I regret everything. " She chuckles and spreads her arms. "Perhaps you are not making it plausible enough. " I shrug, pushing my body from the door and prowling towards her. "You should have never done everything you did, Quinn. She deserved none of those. " I shake my head and she sneers, folding her arms against her chest. "Please! You're not a saint yourself. What you did was far worse than mine. You dumped her

VINCENT. My eyes move across the room filled with people who are more than eager to forget about their dreary lives and it effortlessly lands on the girl sitting at the bar side of the room. Striding towards her, I grab a seat next to her and she turns at the intermission; a smile on her face as her eyes meet my gaze. "You're here. " She says and I nod, my eyes moving to the glass she has in hand. "Why are you here? I thought you were gonna stay with Sinclair. " I question and she shrugs, taking a big gulp of her drink before setting the glass before her. "Sinclair isn't precisely in the right mood to see me, and I thought I would have some fun. I hope I'm not bothering you, though. " She raises her brows and I shake my head, signalling to the bartender. "Can I get a glass of what she's having?" I request and the odd-

VINCENT. Goddamn this woman! Goddamn her games and her ways of playing them. I tried. I tried to hold back sticking my cock in her wet, pulsing pussy, but there's only an amount a man can hold back when a pussy is literally jabbed to his face. Heather is drilling me. She knows exactly what she's doing. She knows what she wants and she's not holding back on it, so why the hell should I? "Vince," she calls, staring at me from under her lashes. Her eyes twinkle dazzlingly with an unusual gleam to them as she continues to taunt me. "Shut the fuck up, Heather. " I growl, snatching her hand from my cock and pushing her against the door. A low gasp slips through her parted lips as I brush my hips against hers, wrapping a hand around her throat and leaning forward. "You are truly making me do this. " I

ASHLEY. My eyes open to convening the beautiful sight before me. I can't help the smile on my face as I move further into his embrace; my eyes hauling along every inch of his face. Reaching out, I let my finger trail over his brows before dragging it down his nose and letting it hover over his lips. The urge to take them in mine spurts through me, but I hold back with a soft sigh. I still can't believe I'm here. Right in the arms of this man. His arms are draped around my waist in a possessive grip that leaves my heart fluttering and my body throbbing negligibly with warmth. I let my finger fall to the small cut on his cheek– one that was undoubtedly given by his asshole of a father. I have so many questions about him, but Sinclair doesn't want to speak about the man and I completely understand why, even when I'm dying to know the history behind the issue.

ASHLEY."You sure you don't want to come in? You could use the same lame excuse you used last time. " I tease Sinclair with a soft smile and he scowls at me before shaking his head, saying, "No, not really. I need to get back home and get my hands on some stuff. " He sighs and I nod, not moving."I'll see you soon. " Sin assures, his hand on my thighs scampering over the skin and I slump further into my seat. I can't find it in me to leave here, yet I know I have to."How soon though?" I mumble under my breath, staring at his hand on my lap; too embarrassed to meet the man's eyes.Sinclair lifts me from my seat, and moves me to his lap – the abrupt movement causing me to screech.He taps my chin with a finger before lifting it to meet his eyes, his other hand around my waist. The fierce gaze of his has me adjusting on his laps and Sinclair chuc

ASHLEY. My eyes are drawn to slits as I stare at the girl before me who's staring at me with beseeching eyes. A laugh falls from my mouth as I say, "What are you talking about? Get you back with Dave? What's that got to do with me?" Quinn jiggles her head stubbornly, saying, "It's got everything to do with you, Greene. Don't you get it, or you're just pretending not to?" She lifts her brows in questioning. "The fact that you're speaking out of line? Yeah, I don't get it. " I shrug and she sighs, slapping a hand against her forehead. She looks almost frustrated, knowing nothing to do. "Don't do this, Ashley. Please. " She whispers, stepping closer and I crease my brows saying, "Don't do what? I don't understand what you're talking about, Quinn. Do you want to get back to Dave? Fine, let him know. I don't see anything stopping you? You never needed

SINCLAIR. I had plans. Reasonable intends to spend the rest of the night in the arms of Little Greene yet here I am, on the way to a person, I'll rather not see because he fucking crossed a line. Again. Shutting the car door, I scowl as I stand before the mansion. I make my way towards the door and walk in without a word, ignoring the woman's greeting behind me. "Where's he?" I question Kelvin who stares at me with a stunned expression, obviously not expecting me to be here. Yes, I didn't expect to be here either. "Where's your fucking boss, Kelvin?" I growl. "That's no way to barge into my house, kid. " I snap my head to the voice's direction and truly, the mam is walking down the stairs dressed in his fúcking formal suit with yet another woman hanging in his arm. I march towards him and grab him by the collar
