"Were you ever going to tell me?" Lucas snapped, his eyes darkening as he threw the papers and pictures at my face. I didn't need to look at them to know what they were. My heart sank at the pain and look of betrayal in his eyes, but he had hurt me more, and he had no right to play the victim here. "How was I supposed to not do that? You disappeared without a trace!" I yelled back in anger, my fists clenching at my sides as I tried not to cry. Losing her virginity to Lucas was a dream come true for Audrey until he vanished without anything but a goodbye note. She became a single mom and moved on, raising her son on her own and working to take care of them both. Five years went by like a flash and Lucas returned with his fiancee, but this time as her new boss and he didn't even remember who she was. Fate and destiny played a game of second chance, bringing the lost lovers back together. Would they be able to ignore the flame that kindled whenever they were together? Will they let go of the past and embrace the possible future? Or will they let history repeat itself?
View MoreAUDREY'S POVMy heart was clenched tight inside my chest as I tried so desperately to breathe just like Claire told me to but it was almost impossible. My vision was getting blurry and even Claire's voice was fading away. There was a banging on the door but I couldn't reach for the lock to push it open.“AUDREY! Are you gonna leave Aiden here alone because of a dumb man!?” Claire's voice suddenly cut through my brain and I realized she was right. Was I just gonna let myself wallow away because of Lucas?“Breathe, darling. You can do this!” She said reassuringly and I clutched the phone tightly as I forced myself to breathe, thinking of nothing but Aiden.My son needs me. I can't give up now.“I'm okay… I'm okay Claire.” I said after multiple attempts of breathing in and out and I heard her let out a sigh of relief.“What are you going to do now? You know what, I'm coming over there. I'll give him a damn piece of my mind!” She said in anger and I let out a soft chuckle as I sat up.“Yo
LUCAS' POVThe airplane ride was very uncomfortable and I was so happy I finally got out of the damn airplane. I glanced around with my sunshades on when I felt soft hands wrap around my arms and I glanced down to see Isabella smiling at me.“Welcome to Nashville, Sir.” I heard my driver say as a car came to a stop in front of us and I held the door open for Isabella to go in first before I got in beside her.“You're quiet, babe,” Isabella said and I turned to look at her as she took the glasses off and I let out a sigh as I took my hands in hers.“I just feel tired, that's all.” And burdened. But of course, I wouldn't tell her that.“You want a hug?” She quipped in her childlike voice and I immediately shook my head as I laid my head back and closed my eyes. I could feel her pouting but I didn't care. I hated physical contact, she just wouldn't understand that.After what felt like hours, the car came to a stop and I opened my eyes to see the driver already pulling the door open for
AUDREY’S POVIt's been five years… Five years since I found out I was pregnant and that the father of my child was nowhere to be found. Five years since my parents disowned me and threw me out to the streets.What would I have done if Claire hadn't taken me in? Maybe I would have been dead by now-Stop thinking about the past, Rey. The past is in the past. Right now, I was worried about my present and future.“Claire, help me,” I whispered into the phone as I looked around to make sure no one saw me.“What's going on? Who's bullying you? Is Aiden alright?” She whispered and I let out a sigh as I sat on the restroom floor in the company I worked at.“What do we always say happens before nine in the morning at work?” I asked and I heard her yawn before she spoke up“Well, nothing but trouble comes before nine,” She replied and I almost burst into tears.“This definitely wouldn't be good. I have just been summoned by the scary boss.”“You exaggerate everything, Rey. What if he's calling
AUDREY’S POVLucas had become almost like a legend, a myth told to children, just like waiting for Santa. He was nowhere to be found. Almost like he never existed in this world.“Have you tried going to his house to check on him?” Claire asked, her voice dripping with concern and I let out a frustrated sigh.My hand shook slightly as I subconsciously rubbed my already protruding belly, a loud and painful reminder of the truth I wouldn’t be able to hide any further.“You know his mother isn’t exactly my biggest fan, I doubt she'd let me see him,” I muttered and I just knew that Claire was rolling her eyes at my words.“But Rey, you know this silence isn’t normal. It's been three months! March over to his house and demand his attention,” Claire growled and I sighed for the billionth time.“Uhm, Rey? I gotta go, the lecturer is in class now. I will call you immediately after I'm done, okay? Please don't cry anymore.” She whispered before hanging up and I released a silent sigh, taking th
AUDREY’S POV“This is a bad idea.”“Bad ideas always turn out to be good, Rey. It'll be fun!.”“Can I just stay at home?” I groaned, my voice filled with reluctance as I thought of possible ways to skip out on another of her numerous wild adventures.Claire was unaffected by my tone, her eyes fixed on the mirror as she applied her smoky make-up and damn, she always looked fantastic in that.I loved Claire, but whenever she said the word ‘fun’, I tried to run for my dear life. Her fun times were mostly suicidal for me, and while I was over-exaggerating it, ever since I had known Claire, we have always gotten into trouble.“Yes and if I remember correctly, Lucas Kent, your sweet boyfriend, is the host of the party,” Claire said, rolling her eyes at me through the mirror.I ground my teeth in frustration because she was right. It was almost the end of summer and Lucas had suggested we had one last bonfire party before college resumed. I was gonna be as dramatic as hell when I had him in
