All Chapters of My Cheating Amnesic Idol Mate: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Ashley POVFor once, Miles seemed dissatisfied, and he quickly explained the situation in the most blunt way possible, the speed of his words being the only indication that he was at least a little embarrassed. I blushed even after the woman headed into the kitchen after she took our order, and I made sure to change the flow of the conversation to something that wouldn't bring up the two of us.So, I talked about the only thing we had in common, which was the one and only, Jayden Keller. It was fun. We traded embarrassing stories about Jayden from childhood for outrageous stories about him during his teenage years, which Miles seemed eager to provide the most brutal details about. Frankly speaking, it had been my goal all along to find out more about how Jayden acted with his boy band mates, and I was even a little excited about it. Ever since I found out that Jayden was very different when he was with his friends compared to when he was with me, I wanted to know how that happened, ho

Ashley POV“I mean, it's not every day that someone I know gets married. At least out of all my brothers."“Then why are you waiting?” I asked.He didn't answer for a while. I just sat in the back of the latest model Audi, cussing with my quick tongue, but I had to admit I was also waiting, expecting... something.“Don't worry,” he said finally. “I'll see you later.”“Okay,” I said without guilt, despite knowing we had both crossed the unclear boundaries of our relationship. “See you later.”“Yeah.”He hung up before I did, and I dropped my phone into my lap. I needed to calm my feelings, and I needed to do so before arriving at the airport. Despite feeling tired after a long day of work, my racing heartbeat was pumping adrenaline into my body.Adrenaline, caused by the tension of meeting my new fiancé, and against the backdrop of my father's incident and Jayden's reluctance.Jared Owen Keller. Apart from the age difference, he and I never became very close. Jared had always kept his

Ashley POV"Of course," I replied in an irritated tone. I stepped out of the car, desperate for some fresh air despite the smoke, and slammed the car door behind me. I turned away from the curious look I was getting from David, as well as the familiar look of two hazel eyes.“Good. That's good. How was the report?”I leaned against the car with a frown. “'Report'?” I repeated.“Yes, report.” She sounded annoyed. “Is the connection bad?”"No, I heard you clearly," I replied, still puzzled. “But why are you asking me that?” The crease between my eyes deepened. “Wait, how do you know he's working on something like a report?”“He—” Mom cut off her own words, but I heard her voice, muffled as if she was hanging up the phone or pressing it against a cloth, talking to someone else. It took almost a minute before she returned, her voice now a hundred times softer. It didn't take a genius to figure out who she was talking to.“You made me wake your father,” she said. “He's very restless right

Ashley POVHe was right. Nearly twenty years together, he had every reason to say that he really knew me. If I tried to deny it, I was the fool, not him.“What I mean is that you can count on me,” he continued, quietly. “If there's anything you need, or you just want someone to talk to about anything, I'm here. Let me help you like you've helped me.”Maybe it was his eyes. Maybe it was his voice. Maybe it was just his presence, just him. Because no matter how hard I tried to push it away, the tightness and heaviness of what happened to my dad had settled inside me. It broke down my will, my determination, and all the boundaries I'd set for myself.Standing there, in the kitchen that had always been a kitchen, I felt ready to stop resisting Jayden. I was ready to let go of all the promises I had made to myself, put aside all previous thoughts, and just be with him.Damn it.Despite wanting nothing, I somehow managed to take my eyes off him. I needed a clear space, a splash of light, fr

Ashley POV“It's never going to be what you want,” I said softly. “I have my responsibilities and duties as the heiress of Red Moon Inc. just as you have your responsibilities and duties as, you know, Jayden Keller... the hunky celebrity and the golden man.”I sneaked a glance at him, trying to elicit a smile from him, but his face remained stony. His eyes showed no emotion. In the end, I had to look away again. “I have to put my parents and the company first,” I continued, “while you have to put your band members and your image first. Nothing is more important than that to you and me.”“Being forced into marriage is nothing,” I said candidly. “It's just like a drop in the ocean compared to what my parents have sacrificed and done and still continue to do. It's a star in the entire galaxy compared to how hard my grandfather fought and struggled throughout his life to establish this company. And while it's mostly a marriage of convenience now, it's not a bad deal. At least I know Jared
