Ashton's POV
I couldn't stop myself from smiling like an idiot while I was driving my car on my way ho. I can't believe my luck. Seeing gan again was like I won a jackpot in a lottery; it is more than that. I couldn't think I would et her in the mall after many years. I felt so happy, even if I was hurt that gan pretended she didn't recognize , and I can't thank Alice enough for helping .
I know I don't deserve a second chance to have gan back, but I have loved her until now. And I believe we are ant to be, because if she isn't for , by this ti I had have already fallen in love with another girl, but it didn't happen. I felt so attraction, but every ti I give myself a chance to date, I will end up wishing I was dating gan.
I don't have any idea how I will convince gan to believe in again. I can see the anger all over her face, and I know that gan hated so much that she pretended she didn't know about . I know that she doesn't want to associate with anymore, especially when the dia linked with celebrities during my football career. Now I have another problem I need to face, Claire. I can tell why she was avoiding , and it was because she didn't want to end our relationship.
Claire is beautiful and belongs to a wealthy family, and I couldn't describe the happiness I saw in my father's face when I introduced Claire to him as my fiancee. He was so excited about our upcoming wedding, and this ti I couldn't let my dad ruin my chance to be with gan again. I know he is recovering from his stroke, and it will affect his health if he learns I break up with my fiancee. I have to think about it later; what is essential now is to take gan back.
And even if I know Zachary hated for hurting gan, there is no one I can share my feelings with except him and Isabelle. And I can't wait to et gan's son, and I suddenly feel nervous as I realize I couldn't face the child alone. What is wrong with ? Why am I afraid to et a kid? How can I convince him to help , knowing his father will get hurt? It doesn't make any sense at all, but all I can do is follow Alice's advice.
It was already late when I arrived at our mansion in Majuscule, and I smiled when I realized my sister was around since I saw her car in the garage. And I couldn't wait to tell her about gan, and I am sure she is waiting for in the living room. She usually ca ho every ti she got bored in her condo. I asked her to stay with or in our house in the tropolis, but she wanted to reside in her condo since she hates waking up early morning.
My dad asked to use one of our choppers in going to the office, but I love driving my car, and I hate to ride the helicopter because I will arrive at the office right away. There is no challenge at all, I will only use it when necessary when I need to go to the office quickly, and the traffic in the city is so heavy.
"What took you so long? I have been waiting for you for hours." Isabelle said the mont I t her in the family room, and I smiled when I saw her drinking wine.
"It feels like the party has started without ," I said as I looked at the bottle of wine on the table, and I heard my sister's laughter.
"I got bored waiting for you. Am I dreaming?" She asked, and I furrowed my forehead since I got confused with her question.
"You are smiling, Ashton, and this is the first ti that I saw you smiling like that after eight years," Isabelle said, and I sat beside her.
"I have been smiling, Isabelle," I replied.
"Yeah, but those smiles were forced and mostly fake smiles, tonight I can see you are glowing, and I am sure I am not drunk since I drank very little because I was waiting for you; besides, we still have work tomorrow, I only wanted to drink since I felt so lonely." She said, and I know why, like , my sister is still hung up with Dexter. That is why until now, she didn't get married to her boyfriend even if they had been together for more than four years now. I know it was unfair for his boyfriend, but I couldn't bla my sister because I feel the sa way.
"Yes, you are correct, Isabelle; I felt like I was in the clouds right now. I am so happy tonight." I said as I was beaming at her.
"Wow, it must be good news, and I only know one person who can make you this happy, Ashton. Did you et her?" Isabelle asked as she looked at with concern written all over her face.
"Yes, I saw gan and Alice at the mall," I replied, and she put her hands on her mouth, and her eyes turned so big.
"So, she is in Majuscule?" She asked, and I shook and nodded my head.
"She is living in galopre, and she is working in Majuscule, and you can't believe it; gan is the owner of the leading brand perfu in our country today," I said, and my sister beca speechless.
"I am so happy that finally, I et her, even if she ran away from the mont we crossed the path, but it feels so nice to see her again, and being close with her even for a while brings back old mories. And I need your help, Isabelle." I said.
"You know I am always willing to help you, Ashton, especially about Dexter's sister, but how can I help you? If she is with Gael, will you use force to have gan back? You can't do that to her, Ashton." She declared.
"I know, Belle, at first I was thinking the sa way, but I t Alice, and we talked, but she still hated . That is why she didn't tell anything about gan's life, especially gan's relationship with the singer. Alice only told to play my card right, if I wanted to win gan back. Alice is gan's best friend, so I think gan is not happy with Gael even after so many years they have been together because she still loves ." I said, and my sister laughed.
"I couldn't believe you have the kind of fighting spirit, Ashton, but at least you feel that way. And I think you are given another chance to correct the mistake that you made eight years ago, and I hope gan will forgive you." She responded.
"That is why I needed your help, Isabelle. Help think of a way to convince gan that I am now a different person, I know I hurt her so much, and I want to win her back even if I have to beg Gael to let gan go." I said.
"Ashton, you are the only one who can convince gan, and you don't need my help. Be yourself because she fell in love with you eight years ago for what you are, and I guess you have to convince her that you were sorry. And I am sure she will try her best to push you away even if she is still in love with you because that is how our mind works. A woman will push the man she loves even if her heart was yelling no because of the pains she felt inside her heart." My sister declared.
"And all you have to do is be patient and don't surrender, you hurt her, and you deserve all the insults and pains coming from her, but you have to rember don't walk away from her ever again, even if you think you can't win her back no matter how hard you try," Isabelle added, and I smiled at her.
"Thank you, Isabelle," I said, and we said good night to each other as we went to our separate rooms, and as I expected, I found it so hard to sleep since I couldn't stop thinking about gan.
"Thank you, Zach. I know I can still count on you even if you still hated for what I did to gan eight years ago." I said as we got out of my car.
"I thought you wanted gan back, and how co we drive all the way here in galopre, and what the hell are we doing here in the school ground?" He asked , and I looked at my best friend, feeling guilty that I hadn't told him anything yet.
"Alice told to et gan's son if I wanted to have gan back," I said, and his face turned pale that he made a back stepped.
"Are you alright, Zach?" I asked, and he nodded at , and I could tell sothing was bothering him since he fell silent after I told him about my plan.
"You can tell about your opinion regarding this matter, Zach, you are my best friend, and I don't hide any secrets from you," I said.
"Well, I hope you are ready to learn all about gan, Ashton, and you will have the courage to forgive yourself the mont you will know all the truth." He said, and I could tell the aning behind his words, and I understood what he ant. My best friend was talking about gan's relationship with Gael.
"Of course, Zach, I am more than ready," I said, and before Zachary could talk, I heard a woman's voice behind , and I turned around to et her.
"Excuse , are you, Ashton?" She asked , and I wondered why she knew , and I realized maybe she was one of my fans.
"Yes, Ma'am, I am. Is there anything I can do for you?" I asked, and I smiled since I thought she wanted my autograph.
"Yes, Alice texted you will be here to et Axel. I am Clara, his nanny." She said, and I felt relieved as I realized it was a good move that I texted Alice that I was on my way to visit gan's son.
"And I just realized you were Ashton Pritzgold!" She said the mont she recognized my face.
"Thanks for recognizing ," I replied, feeling so excited to et the boy.
"I am here to give him his lunch since he forgot his lunchbox." She said, and I smiled sweetly at her, and I felt so grateful that she ca because I didn't have any idea how he looked since he was still three years old the last ti I saw his face on the pictures my grandpa gave . I was too hurt to look at the kid's face, and I was looking at gan and Gael at that ti. I couldn't stop myself from feeling so excited as we walked towards his classroom, and I was watching the remaining ti on my watch.
"Here he is!" Clara said, and when I looked up, I saw a boy running in our direction, and my world stood still when I saw Axel looked at , and I was looking back at myself when I was seven years old, and there is no way he was Gael's son when he looked exactly like when I was his age. And I realized sothing bigger, and I couldn't breathe as I realized what a fool I had been.. I couldn't stop myself from crying as I discovered gan's secret, and the realization hit like a bomb, I felt so ashad of myself, but I couldn't deny the happiness I felt being the father of gan's son.
