Ashton's POV
I could tell that gan felt so worried about her friend, and I understand that Gael played an important role in her life after I abandoned her and our son. And I couldn't deny the mont I looked at the singer watching with anger on his face that I felt suddenly worried because I knew gan cared about him so much, and I didn't want to ruin their relationship, but I couldn't stop myself from feeling so jealous of Gael.
He was there with gan when she was pregnant with Axel, and I could tell he played the role as my son's father, but now that I am back, I want him to realize I needed gan and Axel in my life, and even if I don't want my girlfriend to choose between Gael and , I don't have a choice but to claim my right.
I could feel the piercing of my heart when I heard Axel call him dad, and Gael was grinning at my son like he was his birth father. And he handed sothing to Axel, and I could see it was a package wrapped with a fancy paper, and my son's face lit up, and I felt so guilty that I hadn't brought him sothing, and I could say Gael cares for Axel.
"Can you go inside your room and open your present?" Gael asked, and Axel nodded his head and ran right away inside the house and his voice rang as he called his nanny, and I am sure my son was so excited to open the box that he had forgotten about .
"What are you doing here, Ashton?" Gael asked, and I could hear the anger through his voice after he made sure Axel could no longer listen to him, and I couldn't stop myself from admiring Gael's attitude even if I felt so jealous of him. I was stunned when he ca closer to and pushed my chest so hard, and I heard gan gasp, but I didn't budge since playing football taught well how to be tough. I am used to being pushed and tackled by guys bigger than I am, and I am not afraid of him, and nothing can faze , but I was worried about gan.
"I already told you, I don't want to see your face ever again." He said as he glared at .
"Gael, I know what you have done to gan and my son," I said, and I could see the stunned expression on his face.
"Son?" He asked, and he shook his head while he was laughing.
"Axel is not your son; he is my son, Ashton. I couldn't believe you would be talking none sense." He said, and his face saddened when he turned his gaze to gan.
"You told him?" Gael asked gan, and when my girlfriend nodded, I could see the pain that registered on his face.
"I couldn't believe you, g. After what this bastard did to you, do you still care about him?" He asked, and I could see the hurt on gan's face, and I took her hand since I wanted to tell her that everything would be alright, but she pulled her hand away and looked at , and I could see the pleading look on her face while I could tell she was looking for the right words to say.
"You can't dictate gan what to do with her life, Gael. I may be a bastard for abandoning them, but you can't deny my right to claim Axel as my son. I accept I had been a jerk for hurting gan, but you have to believe . I love them both." I declared, and he was laughing at , and I could tell he was mocking .
"Love? Are you kidding ? You don't know the real aning of love, Ashton. If you only knew how much gan suffered because of you, you would never say such a thing. You are more than a fool for running away from your responsibility." He said, and I could see the disappointnts on his face while his fists were on his sides.
"I am sorry, Gael if I disappoint you, but I will be here for them for good. I wanted to thank you for taking good care of them, and I am so grateful for all the things you have done for gan, but you have to accept the truth that I am part of their lives. I am Axel's dad, and I will do everything I can to make up for my shortcomings on them." I responded.
"You are already too late, Ashton; they don't need you anymore. I am here for them; I am willing to give them everything. And you better leave now before I can drag you out of here." He said, and I shook my head.
"I will never leave them again, Gael," I said, and before I could react, he punched hard on my jaw, and the next thing I knew, he was throwing punches at , and I could no longer keep myself from letting him hit since I couldn't deny he has strong blows that I could feel the sting on my face and stomach. I fought back, and we fought each other until we got out from the front porch and descended on the ground.
I heard gan's voice, and she was crying, and I wanted to stop, but I could tell Gael was not done with yet; I tried my best not to hurt him back, but he was so determined to bring down.
"Why did you ever co back when gan was already healing her wounds, and I know she is on her way to love back." He said while I was trying to circumvent his attack, and his words fueled my determination to stop him from hurting .
"I am sorry, Gael, but you know I own gan's heart, and there is nothing you can do about it; you need to co to terms with yourself that gan can't be your lover because I am the only man on her heart," I said. It made him angrier, and he lunged at , but I quickly moved to my side, and he suddenly lost control, and he plumted to the ground.
I expected Gael to get up, but my words weakened his strength that he remained to lie on the hard ground face down. gan ran to his side imdiately, and her following words pained .
"Ashton, please leave." She said, and I could feel the hurt tone on her voice, and I wanted to tell her no, but I could see that she looked so concerned about Gael when I was the one who received hard blows.
"But, g," I trailed off since I didn't know what to say, I didn't intend to hurt Gael, but he left no choice; he hit first. I allowed him so many tis to punch before I got the courage to hit his pretty face hard, and I could see that his face got swollen, and I could look at the bruises I created, while I could feel the pain on my face, and my upper body.
"Ashton, please don't make this so hard for ; I want you to leave right now," gan begged again, and the looked she gave was enough to make walk away from them with heavy heart. I could feel my heart was broken since I couldn't believe gan would choose Gael over .
I strode towards the long driveway with a heavy heart as I realized I needed to take a cab going ho to Majuscule since I didn't have a car, and I wanted to say goodbye to my son, but I didn't want gan to beco more frustrated with . I took a deep breath before I doubled my pacing.
When I looked back, I could see that Gael had already gotten up from the ground, and he was embracing gan, and I couldn't stop my heart from hurting when I saw gan hug him back, and she was caressing his back.
I couldn't believe that the happiness I felt would be gone right away, and I was terrified of my realization that maybe gan loved Gael, and she only pretended that she has still feelings for to get back at , and I couldn't stop my heart from hurting.
I call a cab since gan's estate is far away from the main road. And it felt like a long ride from galopre to Majuscule since I could feel the piercing of my heart, and I couldn't take away the image of gan and Gael hugging each other. And I felt so excited that gan would tell him we were back as a couple, but she never told him anything, and it was killing .
"What happened to you, Ashton?" My sister said the mont I got inside the living room, and she got up from the sofa imdiately, and she ca closer to and inspected the damage on my pretty face. And then she ran away from the living room while I slumped my body on the sofa. And when Isabelle ca back, she brought the first aid kit box.
"I thought you were having fun in that retreat. Do you know I did everything to contact gan's best friend?" My sister asked, and I realized I was right. It was Isabelle's idea.
"I know I needed to intervene with your love life, and when you told about my nephew, I couldn't stop thinking about him, and I know I needed to do sothing." She said as she started cleaning my bruises and cuts, and I winced when she applied the antiseptic on my wounds.
"I never thought you would co ho looking like this," My sister added, and I told her everything that happened at gan's place.
"Everything seed so perfect until Gael ruined my mont with gan," I said, feeling so down as I tried my best to forget what happened out there, but no matter how I wanted to stop myself from thinking about gan being so close with Gael, I couldn't stop my heart from hurting.
And I was horrified when my sister told my theory could be correct, and I don't know how I would accept the truth if gan were only playing with my heart for taking sweet revenge on .
