~A week later.

It was a windy yet sunny early and Keira and I were in a cafe in downtown New York.

I smiled across the table at her as she stuffed a blueberry muffin into her mouth before turning to glance out the window. Michael had returned from London yesterday and asked if we could meet here as there was something he desperately wanted to talk to me about. Knowing Michael I wasn't sure what to expect from him since I haven't known him for very long, but I had a slight feeling that this wasn't going to go well.

Sighing to myself, I picked up my smoothie and took a sip of it before looking down at a picture on my phone that Alexis and Trent had sent me in Atlanta. I chuckled to myself at how happy they looked together, before looking up at Keira to see her gazing down at the picture. She slowly placed her muffin down on the table and inter-wined her hands together before scoffing to herself. I had forgotten her feelings towards Trent, and even though she didn't speak about it at all, it was obvious that she was still very much affected it.

I guess she had a way of hiding her emotions deep down just like I did.

"So how are they doing in Atlanta?, probably having a lot of sex" she laughed before taking a sip of her juice. "You know I'm surprised they haven't been photographed together over there and her Parents haven't found her yet" she chuckled before throwing her hands up in the air.

I gazed across from her worriedly before sitting up in my chair and placing my hand over hers. "I'm sorry Keira... I know that you still love Trent and-

"Love him?" she laughed loudly quickly cutting him off as some people in the cafe turned to look over in our direction. "If anything I'm completely over him... I-I don't even know why I liked the kid in the first place, he obviously wouldn't feel the same way what was the point. I hope he's happy with his little rich princess over in Atlanta" she said over-exaggeratedly before kissing up and getting up from her seat. "I'm gonna go buy more muffins to go" she muttered while picking up her purse and walking over to the counter.

I stared back at her as she clutched onto her purse tightly while avoiding the stares from several people in the room. Ever since we were younger I've always took care of her despite her being the older sister. She was the most happiest person I'd ever known without a care in the world about anything, but all that changed when my Father died, and it got even worse when we found out she got diagnosed with Leukaemia. She had ended all her close friendships and shut out all the people around her, so when I found that that she had feelings for Trent, I was utterly surprised since I figured she was incapable of ever loving somebody again, but I guess things weren't meant to be in her favour in life.

I continued to stare at her till I felt a hand tap on my shoulders and I quickly look up to see Michael. He was dressed in a black long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans and his long blonde hair that he had cut off was slowly starting to grow back. He flashed me a gentle and warm smile as he went to sit across from me and I couldn't help but smile back.

"How are you beautiful?" he asked before glancing over at Keira and waving at her. She waved back and shot me one last glance before turning back to face the counter.

"I'm good thanks, how was your trip to London?" I asked looking down at the table.

"It was alright, I went to visit my mother's grave and see a couple of my mates who I haven't seen in a while" he explained before taking a sip of Keira's juice. "You know I missed you, even though it was only for two weeks" he muttered the last bit before leaning closer to me. I slowly leaned back before thinking back to how Austin and I had almost gotten into yet another argument when he saw the text message Michael had left on my phone. I couldn't even begin to imagine his reaction if he knew that I was here with him, but despite everything Michael and I were still friends, and it wasn't as if Austin and I were properly dating in the first place.

"I'm glad you had fun" I smiled staring across from him. "So, you had me kind of worried over the phone when you said you needed to talk to me about something, what is it?" I asked placing my arms on the table.

He lowered his head slightly for a brief moment before lifting it back up to face me. A smile started to slowly creep up on his lips as he placed his hand over mine before opening his mouth to speak but was quickly cut off by something on the small Television screen in the cafe.

'Austin Moon recently visited Canada a couple days ago for a meeting with the Canadian President. Reports have said that the two have partnered together to help tackle climate change and global warming in certain economic areas'. The news reporter uttered as everyone in the cafe turned their heads to look up at the Television screen.

I sat up in my seat as a clip of Austin walking and talking with the Canadian President immediately flashed up on screen. A smile started to appear on my face as I fixated my attention on him almost forgetting that Michael was there. He was so handsome, so full of charisma, class and sophistication. Anyone would think he was the happiest and luckiest man in the world because of everything he had, but in reality he was far from that.

"Uh he is so hot" I heard a voice say towards the back and I quickly looked over to see two girls gushing over Austin.

"We have no chance Liv, we're never gonna meet him plus the kind of girls that Austin Moon probably likes are rich, classy girls, not girls who are completely different from him, like us" her friend uttered rolling her eyes as they both groaned loudly.

As I continued to stare at them obliviously, I started to realise the effects of me and Austin's affair if it was ever to get out to the press. I was a simple, poor girl who had luckily managed to become his Assistant in the most unexpected circumstance, and he was a wealthy man idolised by all. There were many different why the both of us weren't meant to be, but whenever I'm with him, those reasons become seemingly meaningless.

"Its written all over your face..." Michael uttered causing me to snap back into reality.

"Huh?... I-I'm sorry I-

"You're in love with him aren't you?" he asked slowly and I stared at him a little surprised before letting out a small sigh. I knew he would figure it out sooner or later. "I've sorta had a hunch about it for a while now but I now know. The way you look at him whenever's he's on TV and the way your face instantly lights up when he calls you... am I wrong?" he questioned and I stayed silent refusing to say anything.

Even if I wanted to, it wasn't as if I could hide my feelings anymore.

Michael slowly stretched his hands across, placing his finger on my chin and lifting my head up. "You're a great girl Ally, and one of the most strongest people I've ever met too... I'm not gonna sit here and lie and say that I still don't have feelings for you, because I do" he spoke as I stared into his eyes with my lips pressed tightly together. "Yeah sure he has a lot of money, but someone with his arrogance and anger would only end up hurting you both mentally and physically and you don't deserve that Ally, not after everything you've been threw" he said before slowly cupping my cheek.

"Michael, I-

"Just hear me out okay" he sighed slowly running his hand down my cheek. "I can give you everything that he can't, I'll put you first, and take care of you and make you incredibly happy, something that he will never do because of his image" he uttered leaving a lump in my throat. "I'm not gonna force you to be with me but-

Before he could finish his sentence his phone began to ring in his pocket, and for a split moment I felt a sense of relief.

"I have to go, its urgent, but I'll call you later" he said, taking my hand and kissing it before getting up and strolling out the cafe.

I slowly leaned back down in my seat staring of into the distance as his words echoed in my ear. I didn't want to admit it, but everything he said was partly right. Will Austin ever be able to love me and put me first, not to mention making me happy?. Was his image in the public eye more important to him than what we had? would we ever truly and properly be together even if the whole world was to know?. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice Keira slowly taking a seat across from me.

"Are you okay, what did he say?" she asked eagerly pushing a strand of her hair behind her ears.

"I-I'm fine... lets just go" I sighed before getting up from my seat, not wanting to discuss about what had happened with Michael and I.

Keira gazed over at me at me worryingly before getting up and walking over to me. She wrapped her arms around me before ruffling my hair and flashing me a hopeful smile. I smiled back up at her as we strolled out the cafe holding onto each other. I was about to speak up till my eyes narrowed over to Duncan, as he stood besides a very expensive looking Rolls Royce car with a young girl besides him.

"Isn't that one of Austin's bodyguard?" Keira asked as we slowly walked over to the two.

I smiled up at Duncan before looking over at the girl who swayed side to side with her arms behind her back. She was a couple inches shorter than me and had long black hair that reached all the way to her waist and light blue eyes. She was very slim and very pretty and her smile was almost radiating which made you instantly want to smile back.

"Good afternoon Ally, Mr Moon's orders were that I should come pick you up and bring you over to his mansion. You weren't at your apartment so your mother informed me that you were here with your sister... pleasure to meet you again Miss Keira" he smiled nodding his head at her.

"This is Ally Daddy?, wow she's even cuter in person" the girl chuckled before holding out her hand for me to shake. I smiled at her before quickly shaking it and turning my attention to Duncan. "I never knew you had a Daughter, Duncan" I said flashing her a warm smile.

Duncan stared down at her before wrapping his arm around her and pulling her close. "This is my little girl Nicole, she lives with her grandmother in Manhattan, but since its her 14th birthday today she wanted to come spend the day with me" he chuckled before leaning down to place a kiss on her forehead and I couldn't help but smile at the scene. I didn't know much about Duncan, other than the fact that he's been the head of Austin's bodyguard for 11 years. I always thought that Austin was the only Family he had since he did anything and everything for him, but after finding out that he had a Daughter, I realised that it wasn't just Austin who had a special place in his heart.

"Its nice to meet you Nicole" I said politely shaking her hand again.

"I can't believe I'm meeting Austin's assistant, you're so lucky to spend so much time with him, but I might have to take your place one day Ally" she grinned causing me to chuckle. "Nicole sweetie, we talked about this, you know Mr Moon would never let you be his assistant" Duncan laughed as she pouted her lips up at him.

"Well since you're going over to Austin's, I'll see you when you get home Ally" Keira said smiling down at me before pulling me into a quick hug. "Tell mom I said I'll be back later, love you" I uttered hugging her back.

She pulled away a couple seconds later before turning her attention to Duncan. "See you later Duncan, hope to see you too sometime Nikki or probably not, you know 14 year old's shouldn't wear heavy make up and a high crop top" she uttered while arching her brow at her causing Duncan and I to chuckle.

"Uhm my name's Nicole" she uttered in a confused and puzzled tone.

"Oh sorry you look more like a Nikki to me" she teased while wiping the blusher of her cheek before waving goodbye to me and walking off.

Nicole stared back at Keira bewildered before turning back to face me. "Your sister is very weird" she snickered while covering her mouth. I smiled at her before turning to look back at Keira. "I get that a lot" I muttered as Duncan quickly opened the backseat for Nicole and I to step in.


A while later we arrived at Austin's mansion.

I gazed over at Nicole as she rushed out the car before running over to Duncan. After being in the car with her for a little over half an hour, I realised that she was just like any other normal teenage girl. Even though she had lost her mother at a young age and didn't get to see her Father very much because of his work, she was very bubbly and happy, or so I thought.

"Good afternoon Ally" I hear a voice say from behind me and I quickly spun around to see Isabella flashing me a wide grin.

I smiled back up at her before pulling her into a close hug. "Afternoon Isabella" I muttered before pulling away from the hug. She gently rubbed my shoulders before looking ahead at Duncan and Nicole as they laughed uncontrollably about something.

"Well hello Duncan, you didn't tell me that you were bringing this little angel over today" Isabella chuckled as Nicole quickly ran up to hug her. "Happy day sweetheart, you're now a big girl and you've grown so tell since the last time I saw you" she laughed while stroking her hair gently.

"She wanted to come spend some time with me today and see you and Mr Moon again today" Duncan spoke before taking of his shades and squinting at the hot sun. "Well Mr Moon is inside, I'm just on my way out to pick up a few things and visit an old friend, I'll be back later" she stated turning around to wave goodbye to me before strolling towards the gate.

We waved goodbye to her before turning around to walk over to the front door. As we stepped inside the mansion, I looked around noticing that Austin wasn't anywhere around. I clutched onto my handbag about to turn back to Duncan till I spotted him strolling out his back garden and a smile instantly lit up on my face. He was dressed in a blue dress shirt, which was slightly unbuttoned to reveal part of his chiselled chest, black pants and smart black shoes. He looked more handsome than he already is. He quickly caught my gaze and flashed me his usual heartwarming smile which melts my heart, every time before turning his attention to Duncan and Nicole.

"I heard its someone's birthday today" he smiled before opening his arms open and without hesitation Nicole quickly ran towards him. I watched as he picked her up and spun around and I couldn't help but smile at the scene. I had never seen this side of him before.

"I thought you would've forgot like you did last year" Nicole pouted placing her arm on his shoulder.

"I didn't forget, I was in Florida at that time for a business meeting and couldn't make it back in time" he chuckled placing her back down on the ground as she rolled her eyes playfully. "Go up to my home theatre room, I left you lots of presents there" he uttered causing her eyes to slowly widen.

"Thank you Austin, you're the best" she squealed getting up on her tip toes and placing a kiss on his cheek before running up the flight of stairs.

Austin stared back up at her before slipping his hands into his pockets and turning to face Duncan. "Take the day of today and the rest of week and go spend time with your Daughter, she's lucky to have a Father like you" he muttered while patting his shoulders. I watched as the two exchanged hugs for several seconds before finally pulling apart. Even though Duncan was Austin's bodyguard, he was also like a Father to him than his actual Father was. I could tell in Austin's eyes that he meant a lot to him, and treasured him.

"Thank you Mr Moon" Duncan spoke before bowing his head at him and turning to walk towards the direction of the flight of stairs.

"Oh and Duncan, don't forget about what I want you to take care of later on, remember to go alone and make sure that nobody finds out" Austin stated as Duncan quickly nodded his head before walking up the stairs. What was he talking about?

As Duncan was finally out of sight, Austin quickly pulled me towards in, grabbing me by the waist and smashing his lips onto mine. I tumbled back a little before holding onto his waist to stop myself from falling. I smiled between the kiss as I stretched my arms up to wrap them around his neck. Because of his trip to Canada, it had been a couple days that I had felt his sweet and soft lips on mine and it was totally worth the wait.

He cupped the back of my head and depended the kiss before pulling away several seconds later and pressing his forehead against mine. "I've been waiting to do that since Monday" he whispered while breathing heavily.

I bit onto my lip as I stared into his eyes with so much love and passion that it almost felt as if he was staring back at me with the same expression.

"I missed you" I muttered quietly causing him to smile. "Well I'm here now, I would say lets go upstairs but I have a little guest over" he muttered holding onto my waist tightly as we both laughed. As I stared up at him I started to think back to what Michael had said earlier on, and it made me realise that I wanted to be more to him, now just his assistant who he was having an affair with. I wanted him to be mine and I wanted to be his, but I had no idea how to go about it considering that I already knew what he was going to say.

"What's the matter?" he asked slowly loosening his arms from around my waist.

I sighed to myself and shifted my eyes away from him about to speak up till I spotted a woman slowly walking into the mansion from his back garden. "Wow Austin, your home certainly is beautiful, its huge, but beautiful" she laughed before pressing her back against the wall and flashing a wide grin in his direction. She had long, straight blonde hair and green eyes, and she was dressed in a strapless black dress with black heels. She was stunning, almost like a model, but who was she exactly? I thought to myself as I continued to gaze at her.

Austin cleared his throat before taking a step back away from me and walking over to her.

"Piper, this is my assistant, Ally" he spoke before placing his hand on her back and leading her over to me and I bit onto my tongue trying to hide the jealous feeling inside me. As she stepped in front of me and smiled I noticed there wasn't a single flaw about her which caused me to feel more insecure than ever. Uh why was I already jumping to conclusions just because there was a beautiful girl in his home. Besides, it wasn't as if we were a real couple for me to be feeling this way, but I just couldn't help myself.

"Ally, this is Piper Wilson, her Father is in partnership with my company and she's set to take over her Father's company in about a year or too" Austin introduced briefly. "Its nice to meet you Ally, I've heard a lot about Austin Moon's assistant" she uttered before turning her attention back to Austin. "And I told you I'm not ready to take over my Father's inheritance and the company Mr Mon, I'm not like you who can run a billion dollar company all by them self" she snickered while placing her hand on his bicep as I stood awkwardly with my arms behind my back.

"Is this because of your husband?" he asked while pushing his hair back. Oh so she was married?

"I guess, but-

"You don't have to do everything he tells you Piper" Austin smirked while staring down at her. "You're a beautiful and independent woman who can really do a lot for that company if you just believe in yourself if you tried" he muttered as I scratched the back of my head awkwardly. Piper chuckled lightly while rubbing his bicep gently before speaking up. "Like I said I'm not like you Austin, but thank you for believing me, I'll be by tomorrow so we can discuss more business, but I have a meeting to get to in about 20 minutes, so see you later Mr Moon" she said before removing her hand from his bicep and looking down at her watch.

"I'll see you later Miss Wilson" he said nodding his head at her. She flashed him one last smile and turned to wave back at me before strutting towards the front door and out the mansion.

I guess you could say that I had no reason to be jealous right? they were just friends, but I still felt very uncomfortable and awkward about the situation.

I watched as Austin strolled over to his sofa before taking a seat on it. He glanced over at me before patting on the seat besides him for me to come sit and I sighed a small sigh before doing as told. He went to put his arm around me but I slowly shifted away leaving him puzzled and confused. I wasn't normally a jealous person at all but watching him being over-friendly with Piper, I finally realised what I really wanted from him.

"What the fuck is going on?" he asked irritatingly.

I stared down at my lap and closed my eyes before taking a deep breath and lifting my head up to face him. I guess it was now or never. "Y-You... You know that I love you right" I muttered as the room fell silent for a brief moment. "You don't have to answer me, I'm just letting you know" I chuckled while fiddling with my fingers. "And I... I wanna be with you, properly... I don't care if anyone finds out about us, I love you Austin and I wanna-

"So that's what this is about" he said quickly cutting me off and getting up from the sofa. "Look I can't give you everything that you want Ally, sometimes I think this affair with you was a bad mistake but I can't stop now because I care about you. We can't be together Ally, I'll only end up hurting you if I do and I don't want that, so this is the best solution for us right now" he spoke as a hard lump immediately appeared in my throat.

I stared of into the distance clenching onto my fist before looking up at him. "If I can never be with you what's the point of us being in this stupid affair?" I groaned before rolling my eyes and getting up from the sofa as he hung his head low not saying anything. "You're a fool Austin! can't you see that I'm in love with you... how long do you expect me to wait for you huh?" I questioned raising my voice a little before barging past him.

"You know what, I can't do this, I need some time away from you right now" I spoke harshly turning my back to face him. Before I could take one more step he quickly pulled me back by the arm spinning me back to face him. "Ally, I-

"Don't touch me!" I snapped quickly shoving him away from me. He stared down at me with distraught in evident eyes and even though I tried to show that I didn't care, it hurt me more than anything. For once I wanted to hurt him like he's hurt me and make him feel what I've felt all this while, but as I stared up into his eyes I couldn't continue further on. I couldn't hurt him badly like I wanted too, so instead I slowly turned around and walked out the door refusing to look back at him.

I had called him a fool simply off of my jealousy and frustration, but I guess I was the bigger fool for fallen in love with a man like him in the first place.


It was 9:30 pm and I was in my apartment living room watching TV with my mom and Keira.

I watched as they chatted about something said earlier in the news, but my mind was of somewhere else with Austin. Like always whenever we had a fight he would call me over and over until I picked up, but this time I refused to pick up and I know that made him mad but I just didn't care right now. I was tired, drained out and most of all frustrated, and if I knew that loving him was going to be like this then I would've stopped myself before it was too late.

I hated talking bad about him, but I was so furious right then, that any thought could instantly slip into my mind at any minute.

"Are you alright honey?" my mom asked passing the bowl of chips to me.

I smiled taking it from her before nodding my head and turning to face the TV. Was I wasting my time on something that will probably never happen like Michael had said? I expected too much from a man who I knew couldn't give me everything I wanted, but why did I still have a little bit of hope despite everything that's happened. I placed the bowel of chips on the table about to get up to go use the bathroom but got stopped by some breaking news on TV.

'Billionaire; Austin Moon's bodyguard, Duncan Evans, had been reportedly shot four times in the chest near the Strattmon Inc. towers, he was instantly rushed to Park-view clinic Hospital an hour ago, and we are yet to hear if he is okay or not'.

I slowly sat back down and covered my mouth in shock as my fingers began to tremble rapidly. My head began to feel dizzy and flood with different thoughts as the words seemed to repeat over and over again in my head. This had to be some sort of joke, it couldn't be real, it just couldn't!

I turned my head to see my mom and Keira gasping in shock and without hesitation I quickly ran over to grab my coat of the coat rack before turning to face the two. "I'll be back later" I uttered before quickly running out the door. I ran down the stairs and apartment building while breathing in and out. The only thing I cared about in that very moment was getting to the Hospital as I prayed to God to keep Duncan alive.

A while later, I arrived at Park-view Hospital before looking around at all the paparazzi's and news reporters waiting outside. I stopped to catch my breath from all the running and before I knew it, they turned around and rushed over to me before flashing cameras in my face and bombarding me with different questions. "Ally Dawson are you here to see Duncan Evans, can you tell us when Austin Moon will be coming out of the hospital, do you know about the relationship between Austin Moon and Duncan?" they questioned getting up in my face.

I covered my face as I tried to get past them but no luck. After a short while of public harassment I had finally lost it.

I balled up my fists and let out a loud groan letting all of my anger and frustration out. "You people honestly make me sick!" I snapped not caring about the consequences as several cameras instantly started to record me. "Duncan Evans was shot four times but all you care about is getting some shots of Austin Moon! you don't care if he walks back out in tears or with his head low, all you care about is getting some dirt publicity of him. Have you ever stopped to think that he might not want any of you people up in his privacy all the time! if you really, truly cared about what happened to Duncan Evans at all you wouldn't be standing here waiting for Austin to come out so in the morning you can stick his picture up in a newspaper with a stupid headline and sell money of it!" I yelled furiously as more cameras began to flash in my eyes.

Without hesitation, I quickly barged past them before running towards the hospital before they could get to me. Ever since I was little, I've always had a fear of public speaking, so I couldn't believe that I just said all that for the whole of New York to see. I knew that I was going to regret it later on, but right then, it was the last thing on my mind.

I ran inside the hospital to be instantly stopped by one of Austin's bodyguard; James, who quickly took me up to the top floor where Duncan was being treated.

As I rushed up the top floor, my eyes quickly narrowed over to Austin who sat with Nicole laying on his shoulders as many of his bodyguards stood around the hallway.

"Austin!" I called and he quickly turned his head to look up at me. His face was filled with pain and distress as he held onto a crying Nicole. I had never seen that look on his face before, and it was then that I realised how much Duncan meant to him.

I took a deep breath before rushing over to Nicole and kneeling in front of her. "Its gonna be okay, you're Dad is a really strong man. I've known him for almost a year now so you have to be strong, not only for yourself but for him too. Have faith Nicole, because he's not going anywhere, he's going to make it through" I spoke with my voice choking on every word. She gazed back down at me while trying to hold in more of her tears from pouring out and I quivered my lips before raising my hand to wipe away the tears in her cheeks.

I rubbed her lap gently before turning to look up. I tried to hold back the tears threatening to fall from my eyes in order to be strong for the both of them before slowly placing my hand over his. He quickly squeezed onto my hand placing it on his lap while gazing down at me intensely. It was as if he had a lot of emotions trapped inside that he so badly wanted to let out, but simply didn't know how to.

"Thank you for coming" he muttered before lifting my hand up and kissing it and I quickly shot him a small and reassuring smile before turning my attention back to Nicole.

We sat in silence holding onto each other for an hour or two, every passing minute felt like a nightmare as we had no idea what to expect.

"Mike, take Nicole back to my mansion and get her to bed safely" Austin muttered turning to one of his bodyguards before glancing down at Nicole who was fast asleep on my lap. "Yes sir" Mike uttered nodding his head before gently picking Nicole up and carrying her bridal style.

I watched as he strolled down the stairs before sighing to myself. I felt Austin instantly grab my head and place it on his shoulders, and I could hear the sound of his heart beating and the sound of his heavy breathing. We inter-wined our hands once more placing it on my lap as he gently ran his fingers through my hair. We didn't have to say anything, all we had to do was hold each other, and we instantly felt a little bit better even if it was only for a short while.

As Austin rubbed my palm gently, my eyes quickly narrowed over to a Doctor walking out of Duncan's Hospital room, causing both me and Austin to quickly shoot up from the seat.

"This better be some fucking good news Doc, I've waited four hours for this. Tell me that my head bodyguard is okay, or else I'll sue this fucking Hospital for every last drop!" he yelled furiously as the Doctor began to slowly take a step back away from him terrifyingly.

"M-Mr Moon, please calm down" The Doctor sighed, pulling his glassed back up. My heart began to beat rapidly as he looked back at the Hospital door then over at all of Austin's bodyguards. He took a deep breath and lowered his head before letting out what we had all been dreading to hear. It was as if time had stopped and there was nothing anyone could do at that very moment but freeze in complete shock.

"We did all we can Mr Moon, but I'm afraid Mr Evans couldn't make it".

My breath hitched rapidly as tears started to sprinkle onto my eyes. I looked back at Austin as he held a blank emotionless expression on his face. His head hung low as he turned around before quickly picking up one of the Hospital chairs and throwing it over at the wall. He fell to the floor as he started to cry helplessly while covering his face with his hands.

All my life I've been able to fix situations by just being strong for the people around me, but that didn't seem to be the case this time. There was nothing I could've done to save Duncan, so why did I feel that it was partly my fault. It was a night that I would never forget even till this day.


I felt really emotional while writing this chapter because Duncan was such an important character in the story, but R.I.P to him.

Also, don't forget to review and tell me what you thought of the chapter.
