Chapter 18

Brenda and Margaux raised their glasses for a toast.
"Are we lucky or what? Maybe destiny is doing its thing because Jett and I are really meant to be together." The latter said with a triumphant smile.
"That's possible so don't mess up. I will do my part here so do yours there. Be grateful that you have a real friend in me..." said Brenda.
Margaux said thank you and giggled before sipping her drink.
(Brenda’s POV)
She heard Jett and her brother talking. Jett wanted to get someone who will watch over Ashely while he was in the States.
“Jett, don’t you think it would be too risky to hire a stranger? Why not let me do it? She wouldn’t know you were having her watched if I did it. It would be killing two birds with one stone you know. You can trust me with her and I could get to know her better. Anyway, she is my future cousin-law.” She said with a big smile.
Jett cocked a brow while his lips twitched upwards to one side. He leaned on his chair and crossed his arms on his broad chest.
"What's the catch? Will it cost me a fortune?” he grinned.
She pretended to be thinking before pointing at her birkin bag on the couch.
Jett chuckled. “ Deal! Just make sure you do your job well. You have to regularly report what my wife is doing . I will buy whatever you want.”
“Of course I will watch her like a hawk. You know you can trust me cuzz!” she winked at him.
She deserved an acting award. Ashley even felt guilty after she talked to her. She admitted that once Jett was in the US already, she would break up with him. They both knew he would go ballistic but he couldn’t come back that quickly and easily. She even advised Ashley to get a new boyfriend right after Jett left for the US so he wouldn’t want to come back to her.

"To you and Jett! This time do your best to keep him! This is your last chance! Bon voyage! " She said to Margaux before raising her glass for a toast.
"Thanks girl! I promise that I will do everything to make your cousin happy especially in bed..!"
Their laughter echoed in the room.
She missed Jett. She was having second thoughts about breaking up with him. He had been in the States for three weeks now. She remembered that Brenda said, she could break up with him once he became busy and it was almost time for it. Her body never failed to tingle whenever she remembered how intense their lovemaking was before his departure. He literally tasted every inch of her and she did the same. She felt sore afterwards but it was fine since it could be their last time.
(Flashback)
He dropped her off to Ashkat before he went to the airport. He didn’t want her to go there with him because he said it would be more difficult parting ways.
“I love you Mrs.Alejandre.” he murmured.
She cried and his arms around her tightened. He was more vocal and demonstrative than her but that didn’t mean that she loved him less. “Don’t cry Love. I will be back soon.” He said as he kissed the top of her head.
"I love you ...I love you..." she kept on whispering against his chest.
" I love you more Love..."
She embraced him tighter and sobbed. She was very sad and at the same time felt guilty. She was giving herself the last chance to hold him and be with him for the last time.
"F*ck Love! I don't want to go...but...." He said in a tone that she hadn't imagined hearing from him. He sounded sadder. .
She removed her face from his chest and raised it to look at him. She swallowed another sob because his eyes were a bit wet.
"Love...I love you so much." she said as her tears fell .
He framed her face and ducked his head. Their foreheads were now touching.
"This is for our future Love. Promise after this we would never be apart again. Be a good girl okay? Lianne, my secretary will report to me who your incoming clients are. I also talked to Kat. She promised she will take care of you. I will call you every day. I love you very much my Mrs.Alejandre .Take care." His lips went down on hers.
(End of Flashback)
They were talking almost every day as he promised. The time difference wasn’t a problem. They did more than talking. Jett convinced her to have sex on the phone. At first, she was hesitant but eventually she began to like it .She moaned and groaned when she touched herself while her man said what he wanted to do to her. A lot of times she got angry at herself because she was letting herself do such things with him though she was planning to break up with him soon. She was just making it harder for her. But every time she heard his voice, she missed him more.
Lately, their communication became less frequent. He often sounded tired and she felt sorry for him so she would always suggest he went to bed to rest. At first he insisted that it was okay but probably due to tiredness he did what she suggested. It was better for her how things were going because it would be less painful when the time to say goodbye to him finally came.
Since he left, Brenda called her regularly to check if she was okay. According to her, Jett’s dad was still mad but Jett was working on it. She concluded that he just didn’t want her to worry when he said that things were going well with him and his father. He even told her that soon, when he wasn’t too busy anymore he would let her talk to his mom so they could get to know each other. He would be busier in the coming week because he was under a strict training. Very soon, he would represent their company and talked to his father’s biggest client. After closing the deal without his old man’s help, everything would change. He didn’t elaborate what he meant by that part.
(At the moment)
She was alone in the studio but Katherine was on her way back from a photo shoot. Her brows creased when she heard a knock and the door opened then Chad came inside. This was her first time to see him after what happened at IRM.
"I have been wanting to go here but I couldn’t find the guts to do so but finally here I am. I’m sorry if I came. I have been dying to see you again. Can I invite you for lunch or even just for coffee?" he asked.
She was literally speechless. She didn’t expect him. She was just staring at him as he intently looked at her.
"Please accept my invitation. I really want to see you and I want to tell you something. Although I am not sure if I should tell you or not."
Her frown deepened. She felt a bit worried with what he said. "Tell me what?"
He was about to answer when Kat got in. She also frowned upon seeing Dale’s cousin. She didn’t want her to go with him at first but she eventually let her. She probably felt that she was really curious about what he wanted to tell her.
“Are you sure about this? Jett will not like it. “ She whispered in her ear when Chad went out first and was waiting for her at the door.
She chewed the bottom of her lip. "Don’t worry. I just want to hear what he wants to tell me. Besides I haven't apologized to him about what happened."
"Obviously he is besotted with you. It’s your call Ash!” Kat went back to her table sounding a bit irritated.
She just sighed. She hadn’t told Kat about her plan of leaving Jett. She would stop her from doing that for sure. But she couldn’t shrug off what Brenda kept on telling her. She said that Jett’s father didn’t want her for his son because of what happened.
(inside Chad's car)
"I'm sorry." Chad murmured as she cried. He was rubbing her back
She felt numbness at first and shocked next but eventually the pain surfaced. Now it dawned on her why Jett didn’t want her to use social media.
Dale, Seth and Andy were tagged in some pictures so Chad could see them. It was a wild pool party taken one day ago. Jett and Margaux were on the photos. In one of the photos, Jett was holding a camera and was taking the b*itch’s photo while she was in the pool. She was topless. There was even a caption:
The hottest couple in the Party =)
Chad took her home. She didn’t even remember to call Kat that she wouldn’t be coming back to AshKat. She was on the verge of breaking down again. She even ran past her sister who was calling her. She just wanted to be alone. She went straight to her room and cried. Maybe this was the sign she was waiting for. She would break up with him right at this moment.
What Margaux said about not letting him go once he came back to the States became a reality. Jett was a liar and a cheater . It was proven that he won’t ever change. Old habits die hard. He probably got tired of her so he wanted Margaux again. That wh*ore was obviously better in bed than her. Well they deserve each other. She was lucky the truth finally came out. Leaving him won’t be difficult after all.
She placed her palm on her chest.
Who was she kidding? She was in pain. Knowing that he had been lying to her all these time made it more painful. She felt so used. She couldn’t help crying again. When she felt she had no more tears left, she checked the time and got her phone in her bag. There was no message nor calls from Jett. He usually called when he got home or he was about to go to bed. It was past 10 PM in his location and he was probably still with Margaux. She sat on the bed and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. This would be the last time that she would cry because of him. He doesn’t deserve her tears.
She started typing.
I am breaking up with you. Thanks for all the lies and deceit. I hope you go to hell where you belong! Don't forget to bring your b*tch with you so you can both burn! BTW...I am getting a new boyfriend and this time I will find a faithful one!
(Jett's POV)
He was dead tired. He had been dying to call Ashley because he had a surprise for her. He wasn’t able to call her when he got home because they had some guests. His cousin and his family visited them. After they were gone, he went to his room and tiredly laid on the bed. He would take a shower later. He wanted to talk to Ashley first. He missed her a lot. He got his phone in his pocket. His eyes became slits. He furiously sat up after reading the text.
"F*CKING SON OF A B*TCH!!" He cursed through gritted teeth.
