Ethan's POV The next day, I decided to take Chloe and Ari out for our date. Truth was that I still had no idea where we were going, but I know that I would figure it out. I opened the back door for my daughter, before placing her in the seat and closing the door. I then turned to Chloe who was standing beside me. I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me, making her smile. I did not know who moved first, but the next thing I knew, we were kissing. She wrapped her hands around my neck, and deepened the kiss. It felt so damn good, that I was tempted to take it further, or at least do something naughty, but our daughter was watching us, and she would not be taking her eyes off anytime soon. I bit her lower lip lightly, making her pull away from the kiss and just rest her forehead on mine. She looked so beautiful, and I would never get tired of admiring how good she looked. "Do I really have you for myself now?" She asked as if in disbelief. "No Ashley? No your fa
Bonnie's POV Ethan and Myles finally let me go. Apparently, I learnt that Anthony was off my back, because Ethan threatened him that if he makes a single move against me, he would expose his sexual obsession for young girls. A man of his status and reputation would not risk that. I wonder how hurt his ego would be now. Myles offered to drive me home himself. I declined at first as I did not want to trouble him, but he insisted and I agreed. I actually did like it, as I tend to enjoy his company, and I knew that I would miss him. Myles was a man of few words, but I always tried to get those words out of him. "I never really got to know what you do for a living." I asked him after he drove out of the house. "I do a lot of things." He responded flatly, but I decided to push. "Like?" "Farming." "Farming?" I asked, quite taken aback. Not that farming was bad, but I could not picture him a farmer. "I have other businesses too, but I prefer my farm." I just nodded. He was... Interes
Bonnie's POVToday would be my first day going to the academy, and Jeremy offered to drive me."Are you actually going to learn how to make dresses there, because I think you are perfect already."I chuckled. "You can never learn enough. Apart from that, I will have so much opportunity when I want to start up my business fully. You know, I always aim high.""Greed Bonnie, greed."I chuckled. "Call it whatever you like."He glanced my way and smiled at me. "I really wish for you to get what you want, little sister. You have worked very hard for it.""And then I can buy you a house and another car."He rolled his eyes. "Sounds like a plan.""So tell me, Jer, what have you been up to?"Jeremy had a job, but I knew that he had been wanting to quit to start up something else. I had no idea if it was working for him or not. Maybe I was just a horrible sister.He smiled. "When it works out, I will let you know.""Must you keep me in the dark?!" I almost yelled."Be patient. I want this to be
Ethan's POVChloe asked me to let Joshua go, so I did. She thought it wasn't worth it. I believed that the few hits he got was enough though. And I let him off with a warning that I would end his career if he messes with my family again. I planned to do that already, but since Chloe didn't want any of such, I decided against it. I just hoped that he would be smart enough to stay away, because I would ruin him if he dares something funny again.Days rolled by, and everything was normal, going so smoothly. Chloe had once told me that it seemed too good to be true, and even though I told her that it was just her fears, I felt the same way too. I felt like everything became so easy.When had things ever been easy for me? When was the last time I was happy? I was not doing things to please my father at all, just myself, Chloe and Ari. It felt so unreal to me, that I feared that something would come change it soon. I was not used this, used to happiness. I had given up on my own wants, just
Bonnie's POVMy days in the academy were going well, until I met someone I didn't expect to see in this place, Ashley fucking Davis. What the fuck was the pampered princess of hell doing here? She surely didn't come as a student, did she? Maybe she wanted someone to make her a dress or something.But then, my mind was totally blown when I learnt that she was in fact a new student here. The sight of her alone seemed to irritate the hell out of me.She carried herself with a kind of arrogance that seemed to come natural to her, and she spoke to people like her father owned the establishment. Well, I would not be surprised if he did.I was in one of the rooms one afternoon. I had just finished with making a dress, which I might consider to be one of the most complicated I had ever made. People stopped to admire my work, and I was hella proud.It was a silk dinner dress, intricately and elegantly sewn, as it falls to the ground in ripples. It was designed lace, embroideries and pearls tha
Bonnie's POVEverything had been going fine until last night. Even Ashley seemed to stay out of my way. The run way event was tomorrow, and I had all my clothes set, all six different kinds.We were asked to get three models, and it wasn't much trouble for me, finding them. Myra was ready to help out, and I got two others. I was going to pay all three.The problem now was something I was too ashamed to admit, and very guilty about too. I had been scammed, by Kelvin.I thought he was interested in me, and I let my guards down, because I liked him too. I was too ashamed, because this was not something that I would fall for. I could smell scam from a mile away, but I didn't see this one coming at all.Something was wrong with my phone, and Kelvin asked to see it. He said he was going to help me fix it, and I had opened it for him. I truly could not explain how it happened, but hours later, he had given me my phone, but I could not find him anywhere. I realized that he had cleared my acco
Bonnie's POVFuck! Fuck! I need to look for a way to salvage this situation."Please." I held Nessa's hand in a desperate firm grip. "Please." I repeated. I can't do this without you."This meant a lot to me, and the both of them pulling out at the last minute... I was barely holding myself together."Nessa, please I can't find anyone else at this time.""Why did the both of you fucking wait to this time to pull out?" Myra almost yelled, but she held herself.But Nessa just shook her head and left. I turned to Myra, looking helpless. I needed to find replacements in about ten minutes. Two replacements."What do I do?" My voice came out low, pained and desperate. I was angry at what Ashley did, and I really wanted to barge in there and smack her head somewhere, but I wanted to think of a solution first."Calm down, let us think. I don't know how long it will take me to get you a replacement, but let me try..." She stepped out before I could even say anything to her, and I was left alon
Bonnie's POVAfter the bidding event ended, I was determined to find that anonymous bidder, but I had no idea where to start. There were so many people here, and I didn't even know who he was.Edgar. Alia said the person that paid her to model for me was Edgar. I believed that he was the anonymous bidder, it could not just be a coincidence. I didn't even get his last name, and Alia seemed to have left the vicinity."Is there a problem?" Chloe asked from behind me."I need to find the anonymous bidder, but I don't even know where to start from. There are so many people here. I need to thank him. His name is Edgar, that's all I learnt from Alia.""Maybe he will look for you. Since he went out of his way to bid such huge amount, I believe he would like to see you." Chloe said, smiling broadly."Chloe..." I took her hands, facing her, before squeezing them tight. "Thank you so much.""It is nothing you will not do for me."My eyes stung. Tears of happiness, relief, triumph... "You had no
