2023-07-19 00:01:23Bonnie POV
I have been in New York for whole three days and I already upset my Mom, annoy my brother, and cheat on Peter. What the hell is wrong with me? I close my eyes as I feel the hot water falling on my head, trying to wash away the feeling of Jude’s hands on my body. I should tell Pete. No, it meant nothing. We stopped before it went too far.
Well, Jude ruined everything, the same way he did ten years ago. Why did he have to open his mouth? Couldn’t he just stay quiet? Argh. The frustration is taking the best of me. I finish my shower and walk out into the room. Benny arranged for me and Pete while we can’t find anything we like.
Renting in New York is obscene. The prices are absolutely ridiculous, especially in the areas Peter wants us to live in. I could just live in a small studio apartment, but he wants a three-bedroom apartment with a living room and a separate dining room.
Once I am dressed, I walk out of the room with my hai

Jude POVI canceled my plans to go to the house on the mountain. Knowing that Bonnie is in town makes me want to stay. I look around everywhere I go, trying to see her. Now that she is back in New York, I am not letting her go easily. Not the way she did on her eighteenth birthday.I made a mistake not going after her, and now I am paying for it. I haven’t been able to be with anyone since her, and I’ve tried. I tried to get into serious relationships, but no one compared to her. So I decided I wouldn’t even try anymore.It’s like my body knew the other girls weren’t Bonnie and decided to sabotage me. I even went to the doctor to see if I was broken. My cock only reacts when it’s Bonnie related.I adjust my tie as I look at my reflection in the mirror. I have a dinner meeting with a new writer we are trying to sign. She is a tough cookie to swallow, but I got her to meet me for dinner and I will use everything in my pow

Bonnie POVI’m standing in the arrivals area at JFK Airport. Peter is arriving today and I can’t wait to see him. I am holding a small sign that we always use whenever one of us has to travel. I smile, looking at the sign in my hand. I move my eyes to the entrance and when I see him; I lift the sign above my head. “Welcome back. Last time was closed. I am glad your wife arrived late and didn’t catch us together.”I can tell he’s seen me as his smile grows. “I’m glad my wife doesn’t care about me,” he says, dropping his bag on the floor and wrapping his arms around my waist, lifting me up as he kisses me softly.When he puts me back down, I look around, and I can see everyone’s shocked faces looking at us. “I guess we might have to change signs,” he says, and I laugh, nodding as he grabs his bag, throwing it over his shoulder and wrapping his other arm over my shoulder.“Ho

Bonnie POV“Bonnie, did you hear what I just said?” Benny asks, waving his hand in front of my face.“What? Sorry,” I let out and he furrows his brows looking at me. He places his fork down and rests his forearms on the table, watching me.“Do I have something on my face?” I ask, moving my hand over my mouth and then my nose. Benny shakes his head and I raise one eyebrow, looking at him. “What?” I question.“Why isn’t Peter staying here with us?” He asks again and I take a deep breath as I grab my fork and start playing with my scrambled eggs.“I really don’t want to talk about it,” I say, but Benny is not one to let go so easily.“Okay Bon, it’s been two days since he arrived and I haven’t seen him. He is not sleeping here, and you look miserable. Did you have a fight?” He asks and I place my fork down, nodding. Benny is my best frien

Jude POVAs I walk through the double doors of my Mom’s house, I can already hear the shouting coming from the sitting room. Great, once again I am late for the party. I enter the room and I can see Richard looking at Fred, that has his arms crossed over his chest, trying to puff his chest.“Okay, what the fuck is going on?” I ask and my mom looks at me from the corner of her eye and I mouth her a silent apology while Dylan turns to me, shaking his head.“That asshole just got accused of rapping,” Dylan says and I look at Fred, that is now looking down to the floor and I notice how he looks paler than normal.“Okay, obviously that’s bullshit. She’s lying,” I say and Fred nods.“I didn’t touch her, I was too wasted to even get it up,” he says and I shake my head as my mom covers her eyes with her hands. She is probably thinking about where she failed us for this to be happening.

Jude POV “Okay, you need to stop grunting. It’s becoming annoying now,” Julie says as she places the coffee in front of me. I look at her, raising an eyebrow. “Don’t look at me like that. You might look scary to everyone but I am not scared of you,” she says and I sit back in my chair, looking at her. I know she is right. Julie has become one of the people I trust in my life. Well, she literally knows everything about me because she is the one organizing my life. “I am sorry. I have a party tonight and I am not looking forward to it,” I finally say and she sits on the chair opposite from me crossing her legs. “Why not? A party sounds like a good idea, will get you out of your comfort zone, and will force you to socialize with other people other than your brothers and those two maniacs you call friends,” she says and I can’t help but chuckle taking a sip of my coffee. “Well, the maniacs will be at the party, and you know I don’t like people, in fact, I hate people,” I say and she r

Bonnie POV “Mom please, I can do this by myself,” I say as my mom keeps touching my hair. The way she has been hovering over me today is driving me almost insane. “I know you can, but it doesn’t mean you have to. I can help you,” she says, grabbing a hairbrush, and I raise a finger pointing at her face. “Pu the brush down,” I warn her. “But..” She starts and I shake my head. “Brush down, I am serious, Mom,” I let out, and she places the hairbrush back on the vanity table and raises her hands in an apologetic way. “Don’t you have to get ready?” I ask and she looks at her gold watch and clicks her tongue. “Yes, yes, I do. I got distracted. Do you need help with the dress?” She asks, and I shake my head. “No, I can do it myself. The zipper is on the side,” I say, and my mom nods. I have allowed no one to see my dress. It’s a dress that is completely out of my comfort zone and I am excited to use it. I never spend too much money on clothes, and I sure as hell not going to spend a

Bonnie POV “Thanks,” I say dryly, but he doesn’t move and I can feel my pussy getting soaked, and that is not a good thing. Not when I shouldn’t be here alone with Jude. “What do you want?” I finally gather the courage to ask and his eyes meet mine once more through the reflection. And he smirks. “You,” he says before he spins me around and I let out a small squeal. His hands rest on my hips while he presses his body against mine and claims my lips on his. His lips kiss me tenderly, slowly, and I close my eyes, dropping the lipstick, and placing my hands on his chest. I can feel his heart beating fast. Jude bites my lower lip, making me gasp and open my mouth as he takes it as a cue to insert his tongue into my mouth. The kiss stops being tender and becomes demanding. His hands move from my hips to my ass as he pulls me up. My dress rides up to my waist as I wrap my legs around his waist and he can stand straight, holding me. I can feel his cock growing in his pants and I can’t he
Last Updated : 2023-07-28The Strong - The Ashford Brothers Series - Book Three Daily Updates
Hello Everyone. I have been receiving messages on social media and have seen some reviews asking for regular updates. As mentioned before, from the first of August, I will update this book daily. Until then, there are no chapters. I hope you all understand. I am not a machine and I am trying to do my best to keep the updates coming. I write the books offline, and The Strong is almost finished to be fair, but because I have to meet some criteria stipulated by GoodNovel so I get paid, I have to stag the chapters like this. This is my second job, as I have explained many times before. I am on maternity leave until the 1st of August and after that, I will go back to my 40 hours every week full-time job. And don't forget, I have 2 little girls and a partner. I have to take care of my family and the house. Please try to understand that we writers love what we do, but sometimes the chapters need to be staggered not because we want to, but because of the way our payments are done an

Jude POV“Where are we going?” I ask as Fred smiles. I can see the mischief in his eyes.“You’re going to love it,” Dylan says and I take a deep breath as Richard places a cigar between his lips and lights it up while shaking his head slightly.“I don’t think he will love it, and I honestly think he will rip your head off,” Richard says and Fred shakes his head as he retrieves the cigar from Richard’s mouth.“Shut up,” Fred says as the limousine stops and the door opens while he keeps the cigar between his lips and Richard retrieves another one from his suit inside jacket.“Hello boys,” I hear two women say as they get in the car. Their skirts are so short they leave nothing to the imagination. Dylan smiles and winks as Fred opens his arms and the girls sit next to him, one under each of his arms as he hugs them against his body. Dylan moves quickly, grabbing the cigar an

Bonnie POV“What time are you meeting Carly?” Benny asks and I take a deep breath, closing my eyes.“In about one hour,” I say, and he nods as he keeps his eyes locked on his laptop. I am sitting in front of him, but he hasn’t looked at me once.“Okay, why did you call me here? You haven’t even looked at me,” I say and he closes his laptop, resting his hands on it. Benny bites his lips, looking at me, and I raise an eyebrow.“I am going to ask Trish to marry me again,” Benny says and I smile sitting forward on the chair as I look at him.“Oh, that’s great,” I say, and he nods. He looks at his hands and I realize there’s more to it than what he is letting on. “And?” I say.“She is pregnant, we just found out,” he says and I smile, standing up and walking to him to hug him. “But it’s not mine,” he finally says and I sto

Bonnie POV “Are you ready for this? We can just stay outside,” Jude tells me and I shake my head. I am not waiting outside when Peter is being judged by what he has done to me. Jude gathered all the information needed for everything he had done, using my phone and booking everything in London with my name, then what he did in Jude’s building. Everything built up and now here we are. Waiting to know what is going to happen. More people joined my lawsuit when it was announced through the media. He has stolen a lot of money from people; he committed fraud in three different countries and now he is going to pay for it. If it was a family without money, things wouldn’t be happening so fast, but because the Ashford name is involved, things are happening fast. Faster than I ever thought possible. “No, I want to face him,” I say and he nods as he holds my hand while we walk through the corridor. There he is, with his lawyer, while Julien walks next to me.

Bonnie POV“I can’t, I’m going to be late,” I say over my shoulder as I walk out of the bedroom and down the stairs.“But you said you would do it in the mornings before work,” Jude says as he follows me. I roll my eyes, avoiding answering him. We have been biting each other’s heads off lately, and I know that is mostly because of my hormones.“Bonnie, please stop,” he says, grabbing my arm. I turn around, looking at him, snatching my arm back, and then cross them in front of my chest.“You know today is a very important day for me, I have the Vogue photoshoot, and then I have the trial, so please Jude, don’t start a fight with me right now,” I say and he takes a deep breath as he walks to me resting his hands on my hips.“I am just trying to help you,” he tells me and I shake my head, as I can’t believe he is using that argument right now.“Yeah,

Jude POV“Good morning,” I say as soon as Bonnie opens her eyes. She squints her eyes a little as the sun is shining through the window and when her eyes land on mine I smile, watching as she stretches her arms above her head and then places a small kiss on my lips.“Good morning. How are you feeling? Do you need me to help you up?” She starts bombarding me with questions, and I close my eyes for a few seconds. Bonnie has been taking care of me nonstop. Even when the nurses are around, she refuses to leave my side, and I am terrified she will be doing too much.“I am good, I have been to the bathroom,” I say, and she bites her lower lip as she looks at me and I smile as I rub my thumb over her plump lips.“You should’ve called me,” she says and I shake my head as I watch her. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on, and I can’t believe she is mine.It took us ten years to

Jude POV“Come, let me help you up,” Mom says and I shake my head.“I am okay mother, I am not an invalid,” I say and she shakes her head as she rests one hand over her beating heart and Bonnie looks at me as if I am a monster.“Don’t look at me like that. I have been stuck in this bed for far too long. I just want to go home,” I say and Bonnie looks at my mom and then back at me. They both look guilty as fuck. “What is going on?” I ask.“Well, as Bonnie is pregnant, and she is going through the horrible sickness in the morning, and you will need supervision, we thought the both of you could move into your old room, and stay with me until you’re recovered and ready to go back to your normal life,” my mom says and I can’t help but chuckle.“No, not happening, I am not a child anymore that needs his mommy taking care of him. We will go to our house,” I say and B

Bonnie POVJude is out of surgery, and I keep waiting for news. His mother and brothers are there and I feel extremely guilty for being in his house like a doll waiting for the phone to ring. And it does. I answer it straight away.“Bonnie, he is awake and asking for you,” Dylan says on the other side of the line.“Oh my God, how is he?” I ask as I walk to the door, putting my shoes on. I look around, trying to find my jacket, but I have no clue where I put it. I swear I left it here yesterday. I shrug, walking back into the bedroom to get another one.“He is okay, moody as ever, and asking to see you,” he says, and I smile.“I’m on my way. I’ll get an Uber and I will be there as soon as possible,” I tell Dylan before we end the call and I make all the arrangements to go see Jude. Things have been a kind of manic for me, after Jude being in the hospital, Carly being an only fans girl and H

Bonnie POVI have done what Jude asked me. I am home, sitting on the couch, waiting for Carly and Harlow to arrive. I made them both promise not to speak about Parker. I am in need of my friends and I definitely can’t deal with any crap that is going on between them.The door chimes and I jump. I stand up, ready to open the door, but I realize it was the phone that connects to the doorman.“ Miss Walton, there’s someone here to see you,” he tells me, and I take a deep breath.“I thought I had authorized Carly and Harlow to come up,” I say, and he takes a deep breath on the other side.“Yes you did ma’am, but it’s not them, it’s a Mr. Styles, he says it is important,” the doorman tells me and I stop breathing for a couple of seconds.“He is not allowed up, tell him I don’t want to talk to him, and if he insists threaten him with police,” I say and I can tell the doorm

Bonnie POV “Hi my dear, how is he?” Camila asks as she approaches me while I sit in the waiting room. We’ve been here for more than one hour and no one has come out to say anything. “I don’t know, I am sorry,” I say as the tears roll down my cheeks and Camila pulls me into a tight embrace. I never thought I would get a close relationship with Jude’s mother. I always heard she was cold and distant, but this is not that type of woman. “Bonnie, where is he?” I hear Dylan’s voice behind me, accompanied by footsteps. I pull away from their mother’s embrace and look over my shoulder to see Jude’s brothers all standing behind me. They all look as worried as I feel. “He’s through those doors,” I say, pointing at the glass double doors and Richard nods as he walks to them and presses the button to open the doors. “You can’t go there, staff only,” I say and he ignores what I say and walks in. Dylan and Fred sit next to me while their mother sits on the other si
