Moving from one abusive household to another, Skye is sold to a billionaire, Blaze, who carries the abuse forward, until...
Put in an insecure girl, a hot, sweet brother-in-law and a jaw-dropping, possessive husband.
Falling for someone who is hell...
I pushed the door open and didn't hesitate before reaching Carter and pulling him off Skye. To say that they were shocked would be an understatement.
"What are you doing here blaze?" said Skye's sweet voice "I-i came to explain myself to you, but I see that it didn't take long for you to move on. That too with my brother." I snap at her. "there was no point for me to come here then I will just leave and you guys can continue whatever you were doing before I interrupted" I said and turned around to make my way out.
And naturally regretting it. God blaze what's wrong with you
But to my luck, no seriously, to my luck, I was stopped by my girl.
"Wait, it's not what it looks like" she tried justifying but it just left me confused. She should be explaining anything to me, it should be me explaining it to her. "You don't need to explain anything to me, Skye, I fucked up. I'm sorry I reacted that way, I had no right." I spoke softly, scared to scare her. She nodded and said "carter reached here a while ago, he had called to ask me where I was. I gave him the address and soon he turned up. I told him what happened, and we figured that you lied to him" at that, she sent me a pointed look before continuing "so I explained everything to him. You walked in on us after that when he was consoling me. He's pretty pissed at you tho blaze, and I'm sorry but I won't be able to defend you like other times," she says.
Like other times?
I shook that thought off. It's not important.
"I don't expect you to angel. But please just hear me out. I promise it'll be worth your time." I begged.
While she took her time making up her mind, I scanned through her outfit. She was wearing a pair of black fitted leggings, which accented her curves and an oversized olive green t-shirt. Her brown silky hair stood at the top of her head in a messy bun. She looked flawless. I let out half a breath I didn't know I was holding when I saw our wedding ring on her finger. My heart jumped at the thought that she was still wearing it. And it also gave me some hope, that things would get better, we would sort this out.

I decided to hear blaze out cause he looks genuinely gutted, but then again, looks can be deceiving. We sat down on the bed, the three of us forming a small bonfire circle. Blaze towards the edge while Carter and I conveniently took the backrest. Well, Carter took half of it and I took the entire. Blaze explained the entire situation while using the pictures as props.
He told us about how these photos were fake, photoshopped apparently. He explained that piper was extremely clingy and sketchy and he wouldn't be surprised if she was behind this. He tried convincing us that the images were fake and he apologized to Carter for lying to him and for mistreating me.
He told us shyly how he and piper have slept together on multiple occasions in the past. He also said that piper liked having a claim over him and that she created a massive fit when she was fired.
I kinda do feel bad though, I took her job position but barely went to work for a day. I shook my head and turned my attention back to Blaze. He showed us some blurred markings that proved that this picture was bogus. He swore and begged us to believe that he wouldn't do anything like this, that too right after he admitted his feelings for me. Dock move. Blaze showed is the texts he send to his PI in regards to the pictures. He sent scanned copies of them to him and asked him to check them for any type of editing.
My mind was racing with thoughts about whether or not to forgive Blaze. I truly like him and have undoubtedly fallen for him, but I need to put myself first this time. Blaze has done a ton of things to do me wrong and it wouldn't be right for me to forgive him, without having some time to myself and think things through. However, Blaze helped me with David. He got David imprisoned for sexual harassment and rape. I was more than thankful for that.
By the time he finished explaining the situation, I was split. I didn't know what to do. Take a break? Ask him for divorce again? Give him another chance? I'm confused.
Blaze looked at me with hopeful eyes. He was biting his lip which looked attractive as fuck, and was majorly distracting. His light eyes were wide and hopeful. He looked adorable.
I want to squish him
What? No. Absolutely not. Nuh-uh. Nopitty nope Ashley. I'm going to call you Ashley from now onwards. Yeah, it suits you. You're an Ashley
I shook my head, I'm going crazy talking to myself. "Hey, Carter" I snapped back to attention "do you mind if I talk to blaze privately for a moment?" I ask him gently "Of course, just yell if you need me," he said giving Blaze a weary look before stepping out to give us our space.
I looked at Blaze who looked like he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I scurried closer to him and took his hand in mine. He stilled for a second and looked down at our interconnected, perfectly fitting hand before connecting our eyes. It was my turn to look at our hands and see Blaze's soft hands enclosing mine with his thumb rubbing the back of my palm. I gently leaned in and planted a soft kiss on his nose
"I've made my decision Blaze," I said softly, trying to gauge his expression. "I'm sorry...."
Blaze
I'm fucked.
