The man I wanted
Ashley’s POV.
I did not plan on letting anyone or anything stop me from getting the man I wanted. Jake Rylland. For the longest time, I had wanted him, and hoped that one day we would run into each other. The handsome billionaire was hot cake, almost everyone wanted him. It was not only those in New York. There were women all over America that would kill for a taste of him.
Having finally achieved that goal, there was no going back. I had tasted what I’d craved for so long, and it did not disappoint. The man was sweet. Sex with him was the best I ever had. I wanted more, and more. He had to be mine forever and always.
I didn’t care if he had only wanted me for the weekend. I was going to make him want me forever. The goal was the king, money, fame a mansion and beautiful babies with the surname Rylland. Anything else wasn’t going to cut it.
If Jake Rylland thought he would get rid of me after one weekend, he was totally wrong. He had no idea how smart and wicked I was and I had to make sure he never came to find out, at least not before our wedding.
On my second night with Jake Rylland, I waited for him to sleep first. Since he had been drinking, quite heavily, might I add, he slept like a log. My drinks were diluted with water the whole time so I was not even close to being tipsy. I had parted with a lot of money for that to happen. To make sure that he did not suddenly wake up, I placed my chloroformed hanky near his nose. As he breathed in the fumes, his sleep became stronger.
When that was done, I grabbed his phone and took it to the next room. I had planned everything to the last detail. The person who took that room was an IT specialist that had travelled in the jet Bill gave me as I was the one in charge of planning the weekend getaway and making sure everything went well. It had only taken one night with the owner of the island to get the rights to plan everything. I had him wrapped around my finger. If I wanted, I could marry him and inherit his wealth but he was too old for me. I wanted a man I could be proud of, and the only one I could see was Jake Rylland.
It did not take Chet Branson, the specialist long to get into the phone and install the spyware. Luckily, Jake was either not very smart or he trusted people too easily. He didn’t even have software that could detect malware. But then again, Chet got some of his software from certified sources and could not be detected easily. When all was done, I returned the phone to where it had been, stripped and got into the bed.
I was now able to monitor every activity coordinated by that phone. As I spooned him, I smiled. The man was mine. Watch out, Heather.
It was because of that software that I got to know where he was going to meet Lilith Hellman. To be honest, I was extremely shocked when I found out he was interested in that plain Jane. At first, I had thought it was heather I needed to get rid of, which would have been too easy because I was better than her when it came to looks and personality. The girl was an airhead compared to me.
I was shocked about Lilith but I knew she was a good girl. Good girls give up easily. That was her weak point. They want too much. They want things that men can’t easily offer i. e. love and exclusivity. It is not easy for a man to resist other women. The rest of us understand that, so we date men for other benefits like money, fame etc. I don’t care if a man cheats on me while I’m on a vacation, enjoying my life somewhere. That’s why we’re easy to please. All I needed was a ring and the status that came with me. The body didn’t matter that much tome. The sex was great but could get it from elsewhere if I had to. Love did not matter much to me.
All I had to do was make Lilith distrust Jake. It was almost too easy. Luckily for me, I found the right moment. We all arrived almost at the same time. I had a person trailing her and informing me to make sure all went according to plan. I kissed Jake right before she got out. It couldn’t have gone any better. By the time Jake pushed me away, my work was done. Lilith was gone and I could bet she was not going to listen to him. If she did, I would send her some photos from that weekend. Those would definitely send her packing.
Lilith Hellman? That was no competition for me.
“What are you thinking about, Ash?”
I rolled my eyes when I remembered that there was a man behind me. Nelson Sanders, a young handsome male model. For some reason, he had refused to leave me alone even when I treated him like trash. He was like glue. In the end, I had decided to keep him around. He was good for one thing, pleasing me when I needed it.
Although I was hunting Jake, I could not let myself starve. I needed to have sex occasionally.
“Nothing much,” I told my boy toy.
“Are you thinking about Jake Rylland again? When will you realise that he doesn’t love you? You deserve someone who loves and cares for you.”
“Like you?” I scoffed. “Give me a break. I’m not going settle for some spineless dude who doesn’t know what he wants. I imagine you deserve love as well. Why are you still here where you’re not loved?”
“I love you so much, ash. You have no idea.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“And you have no idea how much I love Jake.”
“But he doesn’t love you.”
“Just shut up, will you. I need to think of a plan that will finally bring Jake and I together now that Lilith Hellman is gone from his life.”
