The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Ashton's POV

I wanted to stay awake until I could see Megan sleeping peacefully in my arms, but after making love with her, I couldn't stop myself from drifting into a beautiful sleep. And I wake up so early with a beautiful smile on my face. And I didn't know how to tell her I needed to leave early this morning because I would be going home with Isabelle to Astikoz.

I know it is still very early, but I have a flight in less than two hours, and I needed to say goodbye to Megan and Axel. I am looking at her beautiful face, and I am still mesmerized by how beautiful she is, and I couldn't stop myself from kissing her slightly opened lips.

"Wow, it would be so wonderful if I would wake up like this every morning; having your lips on my mouth as an alarm clock would be so handy and nice." She said, beaming at me after I let go of her mouth, and I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

"So, my girlfriend now knows how to joke, and I love this side of you, Meg," I responded, and I pulled her closer to me, and I couldn't stop myself from inhaling her heavenly scent.

"Meg," I mumbled.

"Yes?" She replied.

"Hmm, I need to leave now," I said, and she was silent for a while.

"I need to go home with Isabelle because Dad summoned all of us to come home," I added, and her face fell.

"I promised I would make it up with you next weekend; I will bring you and Axel to somewhere you will love the view, and my siblings are dying to meet you," I said, and her face lit up.

"It is okay, Ashton. I just thought I had your undivided attention for two days, and I never expected you need to go now." She said, and she couldn't hide the sadness on her face.

"I am sorry, Meg; I wanted to be with you and our son, but you know our father," I said softly, and she nodded her head.

I pulled her up with me, and together we went to Axel's room; my heart melted with happiness when I saw him sleeping peacefully, and I never thought fatherhood would make me have this kind of gratification. I touched his chubby cheeks, and I kissed both sides.

"I don't want to leave without saying goodbye to Axel, Meg," I mumbled, and she took my hand.

"It is okay, Ashton, our little boy, is a good kid, and he is very understanding," Megan answered.

"I know, and I could tell he got his attitude from you, and I felt so happy that we have a lovely boy," I said.

"And Axel got your looks, and I am so glad he got your handsomeness, but I am so afraid if it will cause him trouble one day." She said, and I heard her sigh.

"Hey, it is not bad to have good looks, Megan," I replied.

"Yeah, I know, but I don't want him to break many hearts as you did." She muttered.

"Hey, I am aware many women tried to get my attention, but I only fell in love with one woman, and I am proud about that, Megan, and I am sure my son will also have one love, just like me, and having you as my one great love makes me feel happy and at peace, and I am so thankful you waited for me to come back." I declared.

"What choice do I have, Ashton? You are the only one in here." She said as she pointed her heart, and I beamed at Megan. 

Megan walked me out to my car, and I kissed her on the lips before getting inside my vehicle. I drove away from her place with a heavy heart, and I was driving my car at a maximum speed limit because I didn't have enough time to spare, and I am sure my sister was already waiting for me.

"I thought you would never come, and I don't have a choice but to leave without you." She said as we made our way to the helipad, and I felt glad I got my things ready the other night.

"I don't want to leave them, Belle, and something happened at the family day yesterday," I said.

"Yeah, I could tell by the bruises on your face, and I wonder how you are going to face our parents. I was waiting for you to tell me what happened the moment you arrived, but I was thinking about our flight, but I could tell it was Gael again." She declared, and I nodded my head.

"I don't want to fight him, but he was so jealous of me that he almost hurt Megan. And I don't have a choice, but stopped him, and the next thing I know, he was throwing punches at me, and I can't just allow him to beat me." I responded.

We stopped talking when we reached the helipad, and we got inside the chopper and settled ourselves. I used to fly our helicopter, but since I started working as the CEO of our company, I usually asked our company pilot to fly me if I needed to go to our office in Astikoz or go home to our estate.

"Do you have some concealer?" I asked Belle as we took off, and I could see the surprised look on her face.

"What you are going to do with a concealer?" She asked.

"Megan used it on my face so my bruises would

not be visible, and it worked," I replied.

"Of course, I have a concealer here in my pouch inside my bag, I will apply it to your bruises before you meet our parents, and I am

sure the moment we arrive, they are not yet home, and it is better so I can do magic on your face," Isabelle said.

"Where are they?" I asked.

"Mom called and told me they spent the night in one of our yachts last night, and they will come

home late this afternoon." She responded, and I released a sigh of relief since I wanted to have bonding time with my siblings. Don't get me wrong, I missed my parents, but after what my father had done with Megan and me, I became more distant from him, and I didn't want to come home anymore, if not for my mom, brothers, and sister.

And now that he has recovered from his illness, and I am sure he will try to manipulate our lives once again, even if he already apologized to me, I couldn't stop thinking about how Megan suffered because of me. And it was because he threatened me that he would ruin her life.

And I don't know how I am going to tell my dad about Megan and Axel, and I set aside my worries as I could see our magnificent mansion from above the sky as we neared our estate, and I realized how much I miss the hills where I shared many sweet memories with Megan.

The moment we got inside our house, Lennon and Cole were already waiting for us in the living room, and it felt so lovely to see them again; they both stood up and hugged our sister while they fist-bumped with me.

"Do you know the latest showbiz news, Ashton?" Lennon asked, and I shook my head.

"I haven't watched the news lately," I responded.

"Well, I am not sure if our father has seen it yet," Cole answered, and I was looking at them with confusion on my face.

"It is the biggest news in the history of showbiz, and it is about Gael, Megan, and you," Lennon said, and my eyes widened in shock.

"Yeah, it is a love triangle, and someone posted your video fighting with Gael, and of course, Megan's name is still the blind item, but the netizens, your fans, and fans of Gael are now asking who is the girl behind your fight, and then someone uploaded a picture of you with Megan and Axel, and there is also another picture, but it was Gael with Megan and Axel," Cole said.

And I felt so horrified as I thought about Megan's reaction, and I was afraid she would push me away again. I know how she values her privacy. And I could feel the loud pounding of my heart. I couldn't believe something like this would happen, but I can't blame those who attended the family day.

I was a celebrity once, and even until now, wherever I go, people will recognize me, and there are still who ask for my autograph; while Gael is still at the peak of his career, and I am sure our fans will become crazy over this news, and I am more worried about Megan.

"I am sure at this time someone already informed the press about Megan's identity." Lennon declared, and I slumped my body on the sofa while massaging my temple.

"Wow! I couldn't believe someone would post the video, and I hope Gael's manager will take good care of it. I couldn't believe this was happening right now when I already had a beautiful relationship with Megan." I responded.

"Maybe they will delete the video, but I am sure someone will repost the pictures, there are so many of them who asked who is the father of her child, and many said she is one lucky girl, but some call her a bitch." Cole stated.

"Don't worry, Ashton, you looked so cool punching Gael, and I couldn't believe you were that good," Lennon added, and my brothers were laughing while I couldn't afford to laugh, knowing my father would make a big deal out of it, and I am hoping he hadn't heard the latest news.

I sent Megan a quick message informing her we had already arrived in Astikoz, and I smiled when she texted me back quickly, and I beamed when I read her reply telling me to take good care of myself, and Megan told me she was missing me

like crazy, and I hope nothing will change between us when she learns about the latest news.
