Author’s pov
“hey, babe.” Tiffany greeted Kyle with a grin on her face.
Kyle smiled and pulled her in his arms. “my love.” He ki-ssed her warmly on her li-ps. “I’ve missed you.”
“oh, come on. We were here yesterday and you both met.” Jasmine pointed out but she was completely ignored as the two couple continued flirting and ki-ssing.
She wouldn’t have being standing out here, watching them flirt and ki-ss if they weren’t blocking her way into the house.
She cleared her throat loudly and thankfully they turned to her. ”I know i don’t have a boyfriend but rubb-ing your rom-ance in my face isn’t helping!”
“girl, calm down.” Tiffany said with a smile on her face.
“hey, Jas. What’s up?” Kyle greeted, finally noticing her.
She rolls her eyes. ”really? so you are finally noticing me now? Go fu-ck yourself.” We shove them from the door and walk her way into the house.
Tiffany and Kyle followed from behind. Mr and Mrs Hamilton had left for work while Jeremy had left to visit a ‘friend’ of his. So apparently it was just Ashley and Kyle at home before the two girls came.
“that hurt, Jas.” Kyle pouts.
Jasmine scoffed. “that won’t work on me. I’m not your girlfriend.” She spat.
“where is Ash, babe?” Tiffany asked as she poured herself a cup of coffee and gulped all at once before setting the cup on the counter and walked into Kyle’s arms.
“in her room, i guess.” He answered with a shrug.
“ASHLEY!” Jasmine yelled at the top of her voice as she dropped on the couch. “COME DOWN. HURRY.” she turned to Kyle. “how about my little boyfriend?” Jasmine and Jeremy are so fond of each other. Funny enough, Jeremy has a very huge crush on Jasmine.
“he went out to visit a friend.” Kyle answered.
After a while, Ashley came running down from the stairs. She was heading to the door when Kyle caught her by her right arm.
”where are you heading off to?” He asked.
“somewhere?” He was still staring at her, expecting her to go on with her explanation. “I’m going to meet a friend, okay?”
“we all know you don’t keep friends. Tiffany and i are the only friends you have…” She rolled her eyes. “you need to work more on your lies.” She added and crossed her arms across her ch-est.
Ashley hesitate for a while before she spoke. “i will be right back, okay?” And with that she pulled her arm from Kyle’s grip and ran out of the house.
“something smells fishy.” Kyle said.
“like seriously. No doubt, she is keeping something away from us.” Tiffany added.
They were all staring at the closed door.
“should we follow her?” Jasmine asked.
“i think we should.”

?Ashley’s pov?
I wanted to tell my brother and my friends the truth. I wanted to tell them about Evans and his threats. If Kyle gets to know about all this, then Evans is in for a whole lot of trouble.
Kyle hates Evans more than he hates the devil himself. Tiffany and Jasmine haven’t met up with Evans or Summer but they already hated them.
I love them so much an keeping all this away from them will really hurt them but it was for the best.
I entered a dark basement an walked over to a guy seated at a chair. His head was facing the ground.
“hey.” I called out softly.
He raised his head up and stare at me. “you are the one who has being like looking for me?” He asked.
“yeah. I’m Ashley by name.” I introduced.
He grinned. “Walter.” He introduced also. After a while he spoke again. “so why have you being looking for me, Miss Ashley?”
“you must have seen the news, right?” He didn’t say anything but kept staring at me. I took out my phone and brou-ght up the news with the photo and gave it to him. “was he really the one who bullied you in the photo?” I asked. He didn’t say anything but kept staring at the picture. “Mr Walter.”
“This picture was edited.” He said slowly. “That man wasn’t the one who bullied me…”
Yes, I’m getting close. Just tell me who did and give me the real photo.
“Then who did? What is his name? Do you have the real photo with you?”
“Firstly, i can’t remember his name. We had a little misund-erstanding and it resulted to this, my friend was the one who captured the picture.” He explained.
“so where is the original photo?”
He shrugged. “i don’t know but i could ask Gary.” I presume Gary is that friend who had captured the photo. “wait, let me ring him and ask him for the picture.” He took a step and called the so called Gary. Seems like he had answered the call because they both started talking.
As i was watching the guy closely, a hand came around my wa-ist from behind and pulled me to them. I chuckled knowing who that was already.
“it is rude to sneak up on people.”
He chuckled. His breath sending chills throu-ghmy spines. “and it is rude to keep your boyfriend waiting.” He dropped a light and warm ki-ss on my ne-ck.
fu-ck! I could feel the bu-tterflies in my stomach.
“you are my ‘mysterious partner,’ remember?”
I could see the smirk that has already form on his face as he dropped another ki-ss on my ne-ck again.
“yeah, yeah. I know.”
I turned to face him, still in his arms. God, i miss this face so badly. I miss him in fact.
“why are you crying again?” Josh asked.
I sniffed. I didn’t know i was crying until now. “i thought i would lose you.”
I smiled. “but you didn’t, princess. Good thing you told me about Evans and his threat and the plan you had in mind.”
I smiled and we both ki-ssed.
Are you confuse on what is going on right now? On why Josh was here after what had happened between us? Well, surprisingly, Josh and i never broke up. Okay, maybe we did but honestly, we didn’t. It was all planned.
?Flashback?
Josh’s pov
I walked into my room and started scattering the whole room and also started punching the wall. Why will she break up with me? Why? What did i ever did to her?
As i kept on punching the wall, i sighted a wrapped box and an envelope on my bed. I walked over to it and picked them up from the bed.
I was staring at them closely then decided to open the envelope first. I opened it and took out a letter from it.
It was a letter from her. A letter from Ashley.
Hey Mr grumpy,
I know you probably hate me by now. I’m sorry, Josh. I’m so sorry…. Honestly, i never planned all this. But i had no choice. If i don’t break up with you then what happened years ago between you and Joshua will be on the news. Evans is back, Josh. Yes, Evans, my ex boyfriend. He is back. And he was the one who threatened me. I’m sorry am just telling you now. But hey, I’m not breaking up with you, never. But we rather have to play our role in this game. We have to beat Evans in his own game. Let’s work together, Josh.
Ashley, Your girlfriend.

⚡Chapter Thirty—Three (33)⚡
Subtitle: The Plan.
Josh’s pov
I had accepted to work with her and pretend to be heartbroken because we never can tell where that motherfu-cker was watching us from.
At my room the other day. Everything that happened, everything i said were all planned out. Oh, come on, why will want to hurt a girl who had a part of me? Huh? Okay, if she had really broken up with me, i think i would have hate her forever.
Yeah, i needed my reputation back. My career and my fans trust and loyalty but i also can’t afford to lose Ashley.
She sighed as she turned around to look at the guy who was still talking to his friend on the phone.
“do you think everything will be alright?” She asked warmly.
I pulled her from behind, closer to my body. Her back was pressed against my body. I buried my face at the crook of her name.
“yeah. Everything will be okay, princess. We will get back all that we’ve lost.”
“all that you’ve lost.” She corrected. She was right, i was the one who lost a lot of fans. “he called.”
What? That motherfu-cker has a lot of nerves. How dare he?
“what did he say?” I tried to control the anger already forming inside of me.
“he said he wants me and that we should meet at my old house at sunset, tomorrow.” She sighed. “He said i should come alone.” She added.
“that son of a bitc-h. You are not going.”
She didn’t say anything for a while but then finally spoke and for some reason i wish she had just remained silent. “i have to go, Josh.”
“why? i mean, we already have the guy and sooner or later, the real photo would be uploaded and people out there will know that the other one which had my face on it was edited.”
She releases herself from my hold and turned to look at me. “and how about the news about Joshua, you and Jessie?” She asked. Okay, she has a point there. But i still can’t let her go to that psychopath alone. He might hurt her.
“but…what if he tries to hurt you? What if he really hurts you?”
She sighed as she walked closer to me and wrapped her arms around my wa-ist and rested her head on my ch-est. Having her this way, always make me happy.
“first of all, you won’t lose me and second of all, who said i was going alone?” She look up at me. Her chin were resting on my ch-est as she stared at my face. “We just have to lay an ambush for him. Just in case he tries to do anything stupid to me. I really truth him.”
I ki-ssed the top of her head and she smiled. “we are involving the police this time around.” She opens her mouth to talk but i beat her to it. ”you can’t say no.” I warned.
Finally, the guy whose name was Walter was done with the phone call and walked over to us.
“so?” Ashley asked pulling away from me as she turned to face the guy. I suddenly miss her warmth.
“yeah. He will be sending it to me very soon. But who had uploaded this fake one?”
“A psycho? Who just want to ruin my reputation out of jealous.” I spat.
“really?” He asked directing the question to Ashley.
She rolled her eyes and let out a soft breath. “let’s just go with what he had said.”
Thank you.
There was a buzz from his phone. He stare down at it for a while before pa-ssing it to Ashley.
Ashley and i stare at the original picture. We don’t even know the guy but the good news was, we were close to clearing my name.
“do you know he is as at now?” Ashley asked Walter.
“not really. Why?”
She shook her head. ”no, nothing. Thanks a lot for your help.”
He smiled as he collected his phone from Ashley. ”I’m glad to be of help. Um, i will send you the original picture now.”
“wait, instead of me to post it, while not post it for yourself.” She suggested.
“and why is that?”
“hello? If i post it, then people will think am only just trying to support my ex boyfriend. No one would believe me but if you post it and explain to them that you were the one who got bullied then they will believe.”
Wow, how did i get myself such a smart girl like Ashley? I’m one lucky guy, trust me.
Walter shrugged over what she had said but turned to look at me from head to toe.
“i will do it on one condition.” He said.
“which is?” She asked.
“when his name is being cleared, promise you will give my family and i a VIP ticket to your concert.” He smiled as he added. “my little sister is a huge fan of yours.”
I grinned as i extended my hand to him. “Deal.” He smiled as he placed his hand on mine. “and hey, i will like to see that sister of yours, can’t wait to have a lot of photos with her. What’s her name?”
“Charlie.” He replied.
“like Charlie for Charlotte?” He nodded his head yes. ”Okay.”
?Ashley’s pov?
The guy had promised to post the photo tomorrow. Each we had agreed to as well.
Josh and I were still at the basement when we started hearing some footsteps, heading towards the basement. I was scared at first. What if Evans had followed? No.
The door to the basement opened but Evans wasn’t the person standing out there, it was…
I gasped. “Kyle? Tiffany? Jasmine? What are you guys doing here?”
They closed the door behind them as they walked in.
“wow. You and…JOSH?! I thought you guys broke up?!” Jasmine asked with her eyes wide opened staring at both Josh and i.
“yes?” I asked awkwardly.
“wait, what is going on here? And what pictures were you guys talking about?” Kyle asked.
Yeah, i know. I was busted. There was no point in lying to them.
I told them everything. Yeah, Everything, they needed to know.
Tiffany and Jasmine gasped.
“that guy has a lot of nerves. Really? He wants you back? As what? Tell me, you punched him right on his face or better still, deal with his balls.” Jasmine said.
I shrugged. “too bad, i didn’t do any of those.”
“if i set eyes on him, I’m so going to break his nose and rip his hand out of its socket. How dare he?” Kyle growled. He was angry. Very angry. The last time i saw Kyle this angry was when i told him about Summer and Evans and how they had betrayed me.
“that makes it to both of us.” Josh added with a smirk.
“what are you guys going to do now?” Tiffany asked.
“we need to play with him and make sure to beat him at his own game.” I said.
“so?” Jasmine asked.
“i will be going over to meet him, he had asked me to meet up with him at my old house. I don’t trust him and neither does my boyfriend so, we are planning on laying some ambush in case of necessity.” I explained.
“that’s a good idea. Hope we are bringing the police along?” Jasmine questioned.
I raised a questioning brows at her. “’We?’ ”
“Yup. We are going with Josh and some police men to set the ambush and there is no way you are stopping us.” Kyle said with authority in his voice.
“then that’s a plan, then.”
TBC.
