When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“It’s my mom’s birthday tomorrow night. Wanna come along?” he asked. It seemed like our scandal meant nothing to him at all.

I massaged my temples, which were throbbing dully. “I’m not free. You should refute the rumor soon.”

Ashton was the only person I could ask for help to keep John away from us.

But right then, the rumor about Nick and me was a problem.

He fell silent for a moment before answering, “I’ll take care of that.”

“Alright,” I said tiredly. “Stop causing any more trouble!”

I didn’t know when John would come to J City. If Ashton got upset at me over the scandal and the nightmare from five years ago happened again, I’m afraid I couldn’t survive any longer.

Staying alive was the most important thing for me then.

After hanging up, I placed my phone aside before deciding to go to Ashton’s office.

This time, his office was quiet. Joseph wasn’t even there.

As the clacking sounds of the keyboard sounded from his office, I came to a stop outside and knocked on the door.
