Megan's POVAshton showed me around town while driving his new car. I couldn't believe he had another car while I don't even have one I could use. It reminds me he is the heir of the largest shipping company in our country, and his grandfather was generous enough to give him a gift as luxurious as this. I couldn't stop myself from feeling sad, and sometimes I couldn't stop myself wishing I was like him.He doesn't need to worry about his future since his family is filthy rich. And obviously, he has a trust fund. He already has money before he can even graduate from college. And I know his allowance alone is more than my parents' monthly salary combined. Unlike me, I will only depend on my scholarship; that is why I needed to work harder to maintain my grades.He asked me to drive his car, but I shook my head. I can't afford to drive it, even if my dad and Dexter taught me how to drive, and sometimes I will drive in going to the grocery store with my mom. But driving Ashton's car made
Megan's POV"Wow! Megan that would be exciting!" Alice exclaimed after I told her that Ashton invited me to his mother's birthday party this coming Friday night at their residence as we conducted an inventory of the fish food supplies and stocks of the fish shop."Exciting is underrated, Al," I replied, and my best friend giggled."I don't know how I fell anymore, and I don't even have a dress to wear. Ashton said it was only a simple gathering, and they only invited family friends. When Ashton said, family friends, I could tell it means the entire population of Astikoz hills." I added."I don't care about their guests because I am more worried about his parents." I continued, and she stopped counting the packs of fish food, and she looked at me sideways."Well, I think you should be happy about it since Ashton is serious about you, can you imagine? He is now ready to introduce you to his parents, it only means your boyfriend is not fooling around, and of course, he loves you, Meg." M
Ashton's POV"Are you sure about this, Ashton?" Isabelle asked me after I told her I would invite Megan to our mom's birthday party."Yes, I am sure, Isabelle," I said, and my brothers are also looking at me, and I could tell, like Isabelle, my brothers are apprehensive about my decision, and I could tell they are concerned about Megan."I will graduate soon, and I don't want Megan to think I am not serious about her. I will be leaving for WEN University, while Megan will stay here in Archois City. I know we will have a long-distance relationship, but I promise Megan I will do everything I can to be with her. I will find the time." I replied, and I saw my sister's face fall."Ashton, don't make any promises to Megan that you can't keep. You will be busy with your football practice and with your classes, and I don't think you will have enough time for her." Megan said, and I looked at my sister."Don't worry, Isabelle, because I will find the time," I said."Okay, if this is what you w
Megan's POV"Wow! You looked so beautiful, my dear, and I know this gown is expensive, and I could tell my one-month salary would never be enough to pay for this gown." My mom said the moment I got downstairs, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling. Ava and Alice helped me with my hair and make-up."You looked fantastic, Meg. I am sure your boyfriend will become more in love with you the moment he sees you." My dad declared."Yes, Meg, you looked like a celebrity," Dexter added, and I couldn't believe my entire family was complete, and they were all gawking at me.The peach strapless sweetheart long ball gown made me look like a princess. The moment I put it on, Alice and Ava both gasped, and I thought it didn't look good on me, but I couldn't stopmyself from smiling when I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I know I could never afford the gown that I wear, and I wonder if it was Ashton or Isabelle who paid for my dress."Thank you, guys," I said as I could feel my face was blus
Megan's POVIsabelle linked her arm with mine when we got inside the ballroom while my boyfriend held my other arm. I could tell a lot of the girls who live in Astikoz hills were looking at me. Even the girls I didn't know were watching me and looking at me from head to toe, but having the Pritzgold children around me made me feel courageous and daring. I could feel the pounding of my heart as I looked around to find his father. I couldn't find him anywhere; only their mother was sitting on a chair in the center of the stage.The butterfly backdrop with elegant lightning made her face glow; Lenore Pritzgold is stunning, and even if I have seen the photograph of Ashton's mom from his phone, yet seeing her in person made my jaw drop. She is so beautiful like Isabelle, and no wonder the Priztgold children are all good-looking. I could see floor balloons on the carpeted floor, and the flying balloons were on the high ceiling while the bubble machine continued to release bubbles that made
Megan's POV"Wow, that was fantastic, children. Thank you, and Megan, you are incredible. You are such a talented young woman." Ashton's mom said after our performance, and we all returned to our seats. The program continued, and the guests waved their hands to me. And I could tell they were now looking at me with different light, and I couldn't be happier. I saw how Sherry's scowl turned into a smile the moment Lennon sat beside her."I never realized you are that good, Megan. My brother wasn't lying at all." Isabelle declared, and I could feel my face blushed right away, and I didn't expect that Ashton had already told them about me that I could play the guitar and I could sing. It made me feel so happy that my boyfriend was proud of me."Thank you, Isabelle," I replied as I drank water from my goblet, and I felt glad my nervousness subsided, and it felt like I was still dreaming. Still, when I felt Ashton's arm around my waist after he moved his chair so he could be closer with me,
Megan's POVI tried to compose myself and act as if I didn't know about Gregory's plan for tonight. I couldn't believe he would do something like that to his son; well, I should not wonder because he already did something horrible to Isabelle and Dexter. And how I wish I could tell Isabelle the truth so she will stop herself from hurting and realize how much my brother missed her and yearned to be with her once again. I know I should conduct myself according to Gregory's liking, but I am aware no matter how I carry myself, I will always be nothing in front of his eyes because I don't belong to a wealthy family."Are you enjoying the party, Megan?" Ashton's father asked the moment we started dancing. I wanted to avoid his gaze, but I knew it would be inappropriate, especially now that he had asked me a question. I raised my head to look at him, and I could tell Ashton's dad was handsome up close, and he looked younger than his age. "Yes, sir, I am," I replied, and I felt so glad I cou
Ashton's POVI couldn't believe that my mother's birthday party would turn out so fantastic and enjoyable. I feel glad that my father didn't get angry when I introduced Megan to him, even if he planned to announce my engagement with Lauren. It was ridiculous, and I felt so glad my loving mother backed me up; she knew I was in love with someone else and not with Lauren.I know I made the most significant decision tonight by introducing Megan to my parents. I could feel the happiness in my heart as I watched the crowd look at Megan with admiration after our performance. I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I brought her back to our table.Now that our relationship is out on the open, not only in our Academy, and the entire Astikoz hills knew, I wanted to celebrate this moment with my girl alone, but I know we can't sneak out while the party is at its peak. I wanted to bring her to our favorite spot and gaze at the stars until morning and feel her body next to mine. We ate our dinner,
