The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Megan's POV

I never expected Gael would turn out like this. He could no longer control his temper, and I could see Ashton tried his best not to hurt him, but my friend and once my hero continued to hit Ashton with his fists, and my boyfriend had no choice but to fight back. I could feel my throat dry as I continued to shout at Ashton and Gael.

And I could see them hitting each other without listening to my pleas to stop fighting each other, and I realized they both released their anger with each other through their punches, and I found my feet frozen on the ground while I was watching them with my eyes wide open. It felt like I was watching an action movie, and I realized I needed to stop them before they ended up killing each other.

"Gael, Ashton, please stop! You don't need to fight each other!" I shouted, and I moved towards them, but they were both strong, and I could tell Gael was losing the fight since Ashton was stronger than him because my boyfriend is well trained and used to tackle his football teammates on the ground.

Ashton is tolerant of pain, while Gael spent most of his time playing the guitar and keyboards, but I know he is not that weak since he always finds extra time to hit the gym, but it will never be enough to bring Ashton down in the ground.

Gael needed to maintain his physical appearance to make his fans go crazy over him. How I wish I could stop him from hurting, but if he is really in love with me, he should respect my decision and be happy for me, but today I saw the different version of Gael, I saw a man full of hatred on his eyes, and he seemed like so determined to win me over.

I couldn't take it anymore, I ran, and I hugged Ashton on his back, while I was begging him to stop, and I felt so glad he listened to me, and he ceased hitting Gael while the latter continued to punch him, Ashton tried using his hands to stop Gael from hitting his face.

"Gael, please stop!" I shouted in a loud voice that his fist was suspended in the air, and I could see the horror that registered on his face when he realized what he had done.

"Megan," He mumbled as he was looking at my face.

"Please, leave!" I shouted at him, and I could see the pain on his face.

"Meg, don't do this to me, please." He begged.

"No, we can't be friends anymore if you will continue to do this, and if you can't stop yourself from throwing punches at Ashton every time you will see him," I said as I tried my best to control all my emotions. I released Ashton from my embrace while I felt him hold my hand as I faced Gael.

"Megan, I am sorry; I don't mean to hurt you; I am just hurt and angry that you choose this bastard over me. How could you do this to me after what I have done to you?" He asked, and I could see the anger on his face again.

"Gael, I appreciated all the things that you have done to Axel and me, but you can't keep me prisoner in your life because I have my freedom to choose who I want to spend the rest of my life with, and I am sorry if I can't love you back." I declared, and his face fell.

"If you can't accept that Ashton is now part of my life, then I think it is about time we treat each other like we are strangers because if you care about my son and me, then I guess you will be happy for us to have him back," I added. He was shaking his head, and he was laughing so hard, and I could see the mockery on his face.

"Megan, I am telling you, you are making a big mistake; he will hurt you again," He said as he looked at me in the eyes.

"I have been hurting for the past eight years, Gael, and if Ashton will hurt me again, it is none of your business. I am more mature now, and I can handle pain and betrayal, but I couldn't believe you would turn out this way. You are caring and loving, and right now, you are scaring me, Gael." I responded.

"I don't know you anymore, and I think it is about time you should compose your own music again. I don't have any regrets for allowing you to use my songs, but right now, I could say I don't want to write any more songs for you." I added, and I could see the shock that registered on his face, and then he came closer to me, while Ashton raised his hand to stop Gael from getting closer to me, and I felt glad he stopped on his tracks, and he looked at me in the eyes.

"Please, Meg, don't do this to me." He said.

"Please, leave, for now, Gael, and call me again when you come back to yourself. I wanted to talk with the Gael that I used to know, the one who is sweet and caring." I replied, and he took a step back while he darted a glance at Ashton.

"We are not yet done, Pritzgold; you have to pay what you have done to Megan." Gael hissed, and I could feel Ashton stiffen, and I released a sigh of relief when Gael finally turned his heels away from us, and he got out of the room without saying another word.

"Are you okay?" I quickly asked Ashton as I checked the injury on his face, and he winced when I tried touching the cut on his lower lip.

"Yeah, I am fine, Megan, and I hated that he kissed you; I want to beat him, Meg, but I know you will defend Gael because you care about him, and I am sorry if I wasn't able to control myself. Believe me, I don't want to hurt him or even fight with him, but Gael left me no choice; I couldn't take it when I saw him kissing you; I felt so angry with him." Ashton declared as he was staring at my face.

"I know, Ashton, and I am sorry if it turned out this way. I think you need to leave as well because I don't think it is a good idea for our son to see your face like that. You have cut on your lower lip, and you have black eyes, and you also have bruises on your arms." I responded.

"I wanted to come with you and put antiseptic on your wounds and cold compress to your bruises, but our son needs me," I added, and he cupped my chin.

"I know, Megan. I promised I would make it up with you." He said, and I smiled at him.

"I know, please go home to my place, and Clara will help you with your minor injuries," I declared, and I could see the relief on his face. I realized he thought I wanted him to go home to Majuscule, but there is no way I would ask him to leave Megalopre because I wanted to spend more time with Ashton later tonight after the school activities.

"I wanted to be there for Axel. How about putting on my sunglasses to hide my black eyes? I could tell the activities would be done on the playground, and I guess no one would ask me about the cut on my lower lip. It is not that big anyway." He declared, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling. I suddenly remembered I had a concealer on my bag since Alice gave it to me, and I never expected I would use it for the first time on Ashton's face and not me.

"Well, that is not a bad idea; that would be great, Ashton!" I excitedly responded as I got the tube from my bag, and I applied the concealer to his face.

"Are you a makeup artist now?" Ashton asked, and I raised my eyebrows.

"Well, we have to bring our own make-up artists every time we are invited to attend a talk show, and I remember those make-up artists now as I see you apply that cream on my face." He said, and I couldn't stop myself from giggling.

"This is the first time I use this one, Alice gave this to me, and I never realized this could be so handy," I said, and when I looked at his face, I was shocked to find his face looked like nothing happened to him, and I apply some on his eyes, and I smiled when I see the result.

"You have to remind me later to give Alice my thanks," I said, and he smiled at me, and even if I was still worried about Gael, I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I realized I felt so happy that Ashton was with me. Ashton kissed me on the lips enough to make me breathless before we walked out of the classroom smiling like teenagers again, and we went to the parking lot to get his shades from his car.

"Thank you for saving me from Gael, and I never expected him to act that way," I said.

"I felt guilty that I followed you, but now, I felt glad I did because I don't know what he is capable of, and he could have harmed you without realizing it," Ashton responded, and I nodded my head in agreement.

We went back to join Alice and Axel, and we both stopped on our tracks when we saw Gael together with them. And I felt so alarmed when I saw Gael holding our son. I couldn't stop feeling so horrified as I realized he could harm Axel because he tried to hurt me. I never felt so worried my entire life as I ran towards them while Ashton was running beside me, and I felt confident he would do anything to keep our son safe.
