Chapter Two:

(Australia, 5:30pm)Thea walked into the house after the little scene she just had at work. Bolting the door from behind, she threw the keys on a table, in the middle of the sitting room and walked down to her room.She didn't think of coming home after what happened today. She wondered what her mother would think of her when she found out that the only job they relied on for survival was gone. "Thea? Is that you?" She hummed in reply, hugging her mom from behind."I'm home Mom," Thea said. "I hope you aren't stressing yourself out.""I am not, there's not much to do, but you're early," her mother stated. The silence was enough proof that all wasn't well.Jane turned to her gently, then palmed her face. "You've been crying," Jane stated once more, cleaning her tears with her fingers as her tender fingers could."I understand." The woman nodded her head in understanding, tears gathering shamelessly in her eyes. "Don't kill yourself over it Thea, you'll get another one."Thea shook her

Chapter Three:

(Australia, 11pm)Stirring, Thea held up the beautiful silver necklace that was her favorite. What she never chose to sell even though it was very expensive.The shape of the moon adorned with diamond stared back at her."You are the moon and I am the sun, do you remember?" Ash said. She was his moon. Was! She was pretty sure he hated her now. He was disgusted with her. She was sure that he wanted nothing to do with her now after that day. But everything was her fault.Everything happened so much like a nightmare. If she had accepted that the child was his, then he would know that she went as far as working at a club to raise money for her mother's drugs. But she didn't want to take the risk.Constantly, her mother reminded her that she didn't make the best decision that evening. She should have told Ashton the truth. But she was so concerned about what people thought about her. That she was only in a relationship with him because of his money.She did infact say to the family that t

Chapter Four:

"Good morning Mr Maxfield," She fumbled with her fingers nervously."Well, good morning to you, Miss Kennedy. How was your night?" He asked and she forced a smile."It was fine,""You sure don't look fine. Didn't sleep well?""I didn't sleep at all," he raised a brow at her. "But I'm sure you shouldn't bother yourself about it, I'm used to it.""Not at all. I am concerned about all of my employees because I am a kind man. So, tell me Miss Kennedy, what bothers you so much?" He asked."Well, my mom is very ill and I spent all night looking after her," Thea said."That's very nice of you, you must have been through a lot in one night. You sure you don't need some time before you begin?""No, no, no, I can take care of myself." He nodded in agreement."Hope you know your duties as a secretary, Thea, but if you need any help understanding what you must do, ask Fiona over there. She's been here for quite a while or you can come to me if you like." He told her and she chuckled nervously.De

Chapter Five:

---Freya dialed a number and placed the phone to her ears. Her fingers were tapping nervously against her purse. She had a thing with patience. She never liked to be kept waiting and he knew better than to keep her waiting.It was unconscious that her eyes found another who had been trying to get her attention for a while she had been there. He waved again before signaling for her to come outside. "About time," she muttered. She stood and walked away from her table and stepped out of the restaurant as he requested. Her eyes searched for the man that grabbed her attention a while ago. He no longer stood in his former position as if he didn't want to be seen. She found him leaning on the wall of the building close by. The young man smiled at her and she let out a sigh of relief.---"Sir, I've got the report from Mr Frederick," Samuel said as they walked hastily into the company."Good let me take a look," Ashton told him, and received the file from Samuel. Never pausing, he flipped

Chapter Six:

(3:45am)Andrew sat with his friends, wallowing in his own thoughts. He checked his watch for the nth time that night. He came here to have a little relaxation, but it seemed coming here made things far worse.He swallowed the remaining contents of his cup again."Hey Drew," Andrew raised his glass up slightly, signaling that he was listening."You seem distraught, something wrong?" Scott asked. The girl on his lap played with the Hem of his jacket."I'm fine," Andrew replied.Scott scoffed. "Of course you are.""That's what he always says," answered another, and they laughed. "Is damsel giving you issues?""I'm not sure that's the problem, Paxton, I think he's just stressed out," Mason said."Of course he's stressed, stressed and thinking too much. Work couldn't have caused this, right Drew?"Andrew just stood up, grabbing his jacket from the table, he slightly staggered, finding his way out of the door still.Mason sighed. "I'll go ensure he gets home." He told his friends, then wen

Chapter Seven:

"Hey, wait up!" The girl kept on going, increasing her pace instead. "Hey Thea, stop ignoring me, okay?" "Thea!" He gripped her arm and she was quick to recoil from his touch. His grip was strong, strong enough to keep her from leaving."What do you want? I've told you countless times, I don't have feelings for you, Ash.""Really," he moved closer to her, matching her stare. "You don't have feelings for me?" He asked with a smug look.She scoffed. "Why would you think that in the first place? I'm not like the other girls that swoon over you so easily, Ash-ton. And might I remind you, I'll never make that mistake. Now let go of me!"Something snapped in him and she could feel his jaw tighten. He pulled her closer, very close, so that their noses were almost touching and she gulped nervously. "No," he simply said. "You say you feel nothing for me yet your heart wants to jump out of your chest anytime you see me," She furrowed her brows in confusion. How'd he know? Oh my goodness, Jen

Chapter Eight:

(flashback)"Will Ashton not be playing the game?" A girl asked and her friend shook her head in reply. "I think I see him on the bench, Cecilia.""Coach Peter must be very angry with him to make him sit aside for the Finals." Cecilia said to her friend, Agnes. "But they are going to lose, it's 24-27 already and the time is almost over," Agnes said."Well, the coach will have the principal's reprimanding to worry about losing the game," another brown-headed girl intervenes. "Not only that, basketball is Ashton's passion, losing a game when he is teamed would kill him!" Cecilia said to them and Agnes sighed in defeat. "I can already tell the fate of our school if they do not let Ashton in any minute," Agnes said. They both groaned as their rival school rejoiced as another point was scored. "I think I'm going home, I can't watch this anymore!" Cecilia said. "Wait, Ceecy, I think they are letting him in." Cecilia looked at where Ashton was formally seated, only to see him being exc

Chapter Nine:

"Miss Kennedy, in my office now!" Ashton ordered through the telephone and Thea practically ran to her boss's office. "Yes, Mr Ryder, you sent for me?" She said immediately. She stood before him. He raised his head from the paper he was holding in his hands. "What says the time, Miss Kennedy?" He asked. "I'm afraid I don't have a watch with me sir," she said. Relaxing back on his chair at her words, he said, "How is it possible that my own private secretary doesn't even have a watch to call her own." "Well, I had one before but it stopped working a long time ago and I didn't have the time to get it done," she told me. "Not that I care about your watch replacement, Miss Kennedy, but you always need to give me my coffee. I usually send Miss Weston, but she has a lot of work at hand. Besides, it's your responsibility, isn't it?" "Yes sir, I'll go get your coffee," she said without hesitation. Her eyes lingered on him longer than intended. He raised a brow at her in curiosity. I

Chapter Ten

"Hello Ashton?" The person at the other end called out in surprise. He didn't expect Ashton to call at all."Jace, you still up for that drink?" Ashton asked, combing his hair with his fingers."Sure, sure, does Aquarium sound nice to you? It's the new club they opened last month," Jace indicated.Ashton said, "Any place that sounds nice to you, I'll comply.""Okay, 9pm?" Jace told him."9pm." Ashton replied in agreement.---"When will you come to see me then?" Mrs. Ryder asked as she walked around her room with her glass of juice in her hands."I have a lot of work to do Mom, I can't come anytime soon." Ashton said to her."These days everyone is too busy to have a five-minute chat with me. I remember when you were less busy and more of a pest. Now look at you, you're a grown man now."He chuckled. "I'm never a grown man with you and you know that.""So you do know," she smiled. He could even feel her smile."I do," he said, nodding. "And father?" He cleared his throat."I haven't s
