Micheal's POV

The beep of my phone broke the silence as I sat in my office sorting through papers. It was a call from an investor, one who had been lingering around for a while but now seemed to be ready to make an offer. The smooth and professional voice on the other end of the line was well recognised to me but I could not help but sense a faint undertone of excitement in the investor's tone. They were happy to talk business…serious business.

The conversation went well but I wasn't in the proper mindset to make a decision. I need advice on this.

That was when I put a call through to Jayden, the phone kept ringing but he didn't pick. I called again, the phone rang for a while before I could hear his voice at the other end.

"Hey, man. Have been trying to reach you, where are you?"

Jayden's voice on the phone was slightly muffled as if he had been obstructed. “I'm at our usual spot, close to the club.”

“I've got something to discuss with you.” I said, leaning back in my chair. “I r

    Ashley's POVAs I walked towards my room, Uncle Michael's proposal kept bothering my mind. It was a great opportunity, but I feel some type of way about it after everything that happened in paris. He didn't have to say it. He could have simply ignored me like everyone else, but he didn't. Having a big shot like him as an investor after everything I've done was like a triumph…a big deal to my company. But I couldn't let myself show it. I couldn't let myself get too carried away. Not now. Not when I was still mad at him for his actions towards me in Paris.I shut the door and collapsed onto my bed, still clutching my phone. Austin had been here the whole time, just sitting with me, but I knew he wasn't just here to pick his stuff up, He was sitting with me to catch up and he always had the perfect way of getting me to talk. I couldn't let that happen today.“So,” I began, standing up to lean against my desk, “Uncle Micheal offered to invest in my company.”That caught his attention, an

    Micheal's POV The day has been good so far. The investors had arrived at the office, and the meeting had gone smoothly. They were pleased with the numbers, the course of the firm, and, of course, my management. Everything was according to plan. After they had left, I sat alone in my office, reviewing the final details of the contracts before me, content with what I had done.My office remained quiet. I leaned back in my chair and sipped on my coffee as the weight of the day rested upon my shoulders. Barely in time before I was able to resume attention on paperwork, my office phone rang and brought me back out of my thoughts. It was my new assistant.“Mr Michael, there’s someone here to visit you. A young woman named Ashley. Should I let her in?” My assistant's voice over the telephone line.I blinked in surprise, Ashley? She never told me she was coming. “Let her in.” After a minute, the door opened, Ashley stood in the doorway, but she didn't look ok. She looked disturbed, sad.

    Ashley's POVAs I pulled my car into the driveway, I couldn't help but think about what happened in Uncle Micheal's office. I only went there to talk, I needed someone to talk to, and he seemed to be the right person at the moment. I can't talk to my dad about what happened in Paris because he will never forgive me if he finds out. My best friend Austin wouldn't understand either. So Uncle Micheal happens to be the only option left, but I never planned for it to go down that way. I kissed my father’s best friend without thinking. I couldn't help but question myself, Why exactly did I do that? Was it because I wasn't in the right state of mind? Do I need a distraction? Or I possibly feel something for him? Hell no…. It can't be. Me? Have feelings for Uncle Michael? That can never be possible. I shake my head to get rid of the thoughts. He's way older and more mature than me. I care and love him like a father…dats all.But why did something so wrong feel right at the same time? No

I am here to submit my business proposal in Kingston's Technology, one of the biggest companies in New york.” Ashley said out of excitement. “You are welcome, Ashley. You have always been a smart girl, and I know your company will be successful.” I noticed she was bright and cheerful today, like Ashley, have always known. “Seems you are in a good mood today.” She smiled, looking away to hide her blush, “I sort things out with Austin. We are good now. “Oh, that's good. So he really meant that much to you.” I asked out of curiosity.“He’s my best friend. He means a lot to me. Uncle micheal, about what happened the last time…”“Let's not talk about that, i know it’s a mistake, and you weren't in the right state of mind.”I know she didn't mean to do what she did, but I couldn't stop thinking about it since it happened…Hell I couldn't stop thinking about her ever since I laid my eyes on her

A pang of confusion stirred in my chest ‘Could he possibly have feelings for me’ but as the thought came to mind, I pushed it out quickly to get rid of it.

I couldn't help but think about what happened earlier, how Uncle Micheal looked at me in his office. I couldn't shake the feeling that there's more to it . We both sat in silence until he cleared his throat and decided to talk.“How's the proposal coming up? Is there anything I can help with?” He asked, looking towards my direction.“No, I will handle it myself and bring it to you as soon as possible. Thanks anyway.”He nodded, placing his focus back on the road.I saw a huge building close to us and I could tell that we'd arrived at the venue. “Are you alright?” I nodded quickly “Yea I'm fine, just thinking.”“Don't worry, we will get through this. It's just business.” He assured me while parking his car in the venue's lot.I didn't know if that was to reassure me, but did it help? No.“Right, it's just business.” We stepped out of the car, and I could see a lot of people approach

    Micheal's POV I held Ashley’s hands in mine, “Let's get out of here.” She nodded with a smile on her face. The cold night air hit her skin as I pulled her away from the crowd, my hand firm around hers. The sound of the gala faded behind us as we walked through the grand door.The valvet was already waiting with the car, a sleek black sedan that seemed to mirror the dark. I opened the door for her, my eyes looking towards her for a moment. She slid into the passenger seat, and I climbed in beside her. Ever since I saw her in that black dress, I couldn't take my eyes off her. I could hardly focus at the event.“Ashley” I murmured, leaning forward to rest my head on hers, I traced her lips with my fingers, and at that moment, she found it difficult to breathe. “Uncle Miche…”I shut her up with a kiss. At first my lips moved in a slow passion, afraid that she would change her mind or stop me but as she started kissing me back, reassuring that none would happen, my pace grew more hungry

He had invited me over to discuss his birthday preparations, and I'm more than happy to help. Even though I couldn't clear my head regarding yesterday's event, I can't seem to shake the feeling of the tension we both shared. I even tried to convince myself that it was just a moment, a mistake, but I knew better. And for now, I needed to focus on other things, like Austin's upcoming birthday.The door creaked open, and Austin smiled at me. “Ash, come on in.”“Took you long enough, Austin. What were you doing? Fucking?”“I wish I was.” He joked, and we burst out laughing.“Take your horny ass out of my face.” I said, stepping into his house.I stepped into the warm comfort of his apartment. It was small, but the interior designs and some pieces of artwork that were hung around on the wall made it feel like home. His apar

It was very soothing, so much that I found it difficult to get out of bed. so for a moment, I laid there, wrapped up in the warmth of the sheets. I haven't had a good sleep like this in months . It was peaceful, too peaceful.Then I turned over to the other side of the bed, expecting him to be there, but it was empty. Then I perceived it, the faint smell of bacon filled the air. I slipped out of bed and did a little exercise before making my way downstairs.The sight in the kitchen made me pause.Micheal stood shirtless by the counter with his hair slightly messy. He wore grey sweatpants that hung low on his hip, moving around the kitchen as he prepared breakfast. He kept flipping the pancakes like a pro while he had a fresh pot of coffee beside him. The counter was filled with breakfast: bacon, toast, scramble eggs, with some fresh fruits on the side. I leaned against the doorway, crossing my arms against my chest. “S

    I glanced at Ashley beside me as I drove past the city. She was staring at the window as she drew small patterns on the glass. She seemed deep in thought, and her shoulders were tense. Clearly, she looked exhausted, but aside from that, I could see something else, something she's trying hard to bury within her. I knew she was going through a lot after the incident at the club, which is why I decided to do this for her. It will serve as an escape from reality.I placed my palm on her hands, my fingers brushing it lightly. “Trust me, Ash, you're going to love the place.”She turned her head towards me, “You said that earlier, but I still don't know where you're taking me.”I smiled “Now where's the fun in ruining the surprise.”She smiled softly while shaking her head “You and your surprises“Uncle Micheal, why are you doing all this?” She asked suddenly as she looked at me with curiosity in her eyes.My gaze found hers for a second before I returned my focus back to the road. “Doing wh

    ASHLEY'S POV It was another busy day as I stepped out of the house. The sun was really bright, bright enough that it could be blinding. It did no help in shaking the heaviness in my chest. I barely had any sleep last night. My mind was filled with thoughts. I kept convincing myself that it's just gonna be another day, that nothing had changed, that I was still the same person I was before the incident at the club. I had a lot of work waiting for me at the office, and I had to be early if I wanted to catch up on it.I slid into my car, adjusted my seat belt and gripped the steering wheel before finally starting the car, the soft sound of the car oddly calmed my nerves, and as I pulled out of the driveway, I place my focus on the road. Observing the traffic lights, street signs, and the route to my company. Few minutes later I arrived at the company, by the time I stepped in, everything was moving fast already, my employees were moving in and out of their various offices, some were a

Our conversations at the club, the laughter, the familiar faces, All those memories kept me going, distracting me from the bad memories i had about that night.Then there were the darkest memories. The guy I saw at the restroom, his filthy hands on me, the smirk on his face, the fear I felt , and the relief that washed through me when Uncle Michael barged in. He saved me, he protected me and I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude. But a part of me felt guilty. Was it wrong to feel so safe in his arms? Was it wrong to want and desire the very person who was once like a father to me?As the car pulled to my house. I forced myself to be focused. I couldn't afford to look weak, not in the presence of my father. Uncle Micheal had assured him that I was fine but I knew my father

What happened? How the fuck did i get here? Then it hit me… Austin's party, the drinks, they all went through my mind but nothing felt real. I sat up slowly, grabbing my head, hoping the act would ease the pain in some way. My body felt heavy as if I was still trapped in that party.Suddenly the door opened slightly. I glanced up, wiping my hands over my face to get rid of the dizziness. Then I saw Uncle Michael. Wait..why is he here? He stepped inside, walking slowly towards me, I noticed he was holding a glass of water and white pill in his hand.“Here, This should help you with the headache.”I collected the water and swallowed the pill, the cool liquid wetting down my dry throat.“Uncle Michael, where am I? What happened last night? And why are you here?” “You are at my guest house. I

Can't believe I pulled it off. I couldn't have done it without you, though. You convinced Mr Willaims to listen in the first place.”Jayden chuckled and waved it off. “You handled all the tough stuff. All I did was make the intro. But hey, you know you need to celebrate this tonight, right? “Of course”, I said, anticipating the night ahead. “Let's hit the club and celebrate. You deserve it, Jaden.”Jayden hesitated, his eyes flickering for a second. “Actually….I think I'm gonna pass tonight.

We were all excited, looking forward to Austin's party tonight.I looked at myself in the mirror, checking out different outfits to see which one would make me look my best.
