The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Ashton's POV

"Are you sure about this, Ashton?" Isabelle asked me after I told her I would invite Megan to our mom's birthday party.

"Yes, I am sure, Isabelle," I said, and my brothers are also looking at me, and I could tell, like Isabelle, my brothers are apprehensive about my decision, and I could tell they are concerned about Megan.

"I will graduate soon, and I don't want Megan to think I am not serious about her. I will be leaving for WEN University, while Megan will stay here in Archois City. I know we will have a long-distance relationship, but I promise Megan I will do everything I can to be with her. I will find the time." I replied, and I saw my sister's face fall.

"Ashton, don't make any promises to Megan that you can't keep. You will be busy with your football practice and with your classes, and I don't think you will have enough time for her." Megan said, and I looked at my sister.

"Don't worry, Isabelle, because I will find the time," I said.

"Okay, if this is what you want, I will help you." My sister declared.

"Count me in, bro," Lennon said.

"Me too," Cole added, and I smiled at my siblings. And even if I felt apprehensive about my decision, I am still confident because I know I have my siblings to support me, and they have my back.

"I am just afraid for Megan, and she is too innocent to be hurt by our dad." Isabelle declared.

"Hey, who knows he will react to Megan differently? Besides, I am doing all this so that dad will stop his craziness. He wanted me to marry Lauren, and after what Lauren had done to Megan, I saw her true colors, and there is no way I am going to marry her." I said.

"Yeah, I hope everything will happen according to your expectations, Ashton. I know dad, and I have been there." Isabelle said.

"Don't worry, Belle, I will protect Megan; besides, I don't need Dad's money. He can't threaten me to break up with my girlfriend." I said, and my sister smiled at me.

"I just want you to be happy, Ashton." My sister said, and I beamed at her.

"I am happy now that I have your full support, and yes, I am afraid of how dad will react the moment I introduce Megan to him as my girlfriend, and if he will get angry, at least he knew whom I love," I responded.

"Good luck, Ashton." They all said in unison.

I couldn't sleep immediately, and the following day at school, I felt so excited to inform Megan about my plans. I felt so glad she didn't say no, and I could tell she was also happy to meet my parents even if I could tell she was also apprehensive about it because I know Megan was aware there was a chance she would only get hurt. Beneath her worries, I could also see excitement, and Megan knew I was doing all this because I wanted to show everyone my intention towards her was genuine.

I also wanted my parents to know I love Megan, and I hope my father will stop telling me to marry Lauren in the future because it will never happen since my heart only beats for Megan Corteza. 

"Can you buy Megan something she could wear?" I asked Isabelle the following morning, and I felt so glad my sister loves to shop, and it is her favorite to buy dresses and shoes.

"Sure, leave it to me, Ashton." She said with a wide grin on her beautiful face, and I gave her some cash, but she didn't take it.

"Can I ask you another favor, Isabelle?" I asked my sister.

"What is it, Ashton?" She inquired.

"I know this is too much, but dad asked me to come home early tonight since he wants us to play basketball with our brothers and Zach. Can you pick up Megan after her part-time job?" I asked her, and she tapped my shoulder, and I couldn't stop feeling so relieved that Isabelle was here in our house.

"I love to meet Megan before mom's birthday party, and I have been dying to meet her ever since I dated her brother. Dexter was Megan's number one fan, and I know how much he loves her, and I hope Megan will not undergo the same treatment Dex received from our dad." Isabelle declared, and I can tell my sister is still in love with Dexter. I said goodbye to her, and I felt so happy as I drove away to pick up Megan at their house.

"Hey, good morning!" I said the moment Megan sat beside me while I heard Ava greet me good morning.

"Good morning, Ava." I greeted her sister, and I knew she giggled at the back of my car while my girl was staring at me after she murmured her greetings. I kissed her on the lips, and I could tell I shocked her, even if it was only a quick peck, but I couldn't stop myself from grinning when I saw her blushed, and it felt so wonderful to make her face flush because she looked so adorable.

How I wish we could be alone together again. I know we still have our sweet moments together every time I bring Megan to my favorite spot inside our property. Still, I only make love with Megan when we are in a hotel during weekends if we have time, and sometimes we will go to the nearest resort, but it would be different if we made love at the treehouse because it became our favorite spot.

"I am here sitting at the back, guys," Ava said, and I am sure she saw I kissed her sister.

"I am sorry, Ava. I couldn't stop myself from kissing your sister." I replied, and she laughed.

"I was just kidding, Ashton." She replied, and I could tell Megan was still blushing. I took her hand as I drove away from their house.

We both became busy the entire morning since the final exam was approaching and, of course, because of our graduation. I felt guilty that I didn't tell Megan I wouldn't pick her up tonight. But I want to surprise her since I know she has wanted to meet my sister for a long time now, and I am so excited for them to meet, and I could tell my sister would love Megan, while Megan will become thrilled and ecstatic to see my sister. I love them both, and I could tell they are both amazing women, and how I wish I could join them, but I need to go home and play a basketball game with my dad.

"Are you ready for tomorrow?" Zachary asked me after our practice.

.

"Of course, I am ready," I replied.

"Ate you sure about that, Ashton?" Zach asked, and I couldn't believe they would ask me the same question.

"What is wrong with you, guys? My sister asked me the same thing, is it bad to introduce my girl to my parents?" I asked Zach, and he looked at me for a long while before he spoke.

"No, Ashton, it would be the best and most romantic thing to do if you weren't Gregory Pritzgold's son, and you didn't fall in love with someone like Megan. I was hoping you wouldn't get me wrong, and there is nothing wrong with your girlfriend except she doesn't belong to our society. And we all knew your father would contradict your relationship with Megan, and worst he would hurt your girlfriend." He declared, and I sighed.

"I know, Zach, but we will be leaving for WEN University soon, and this is the only chance I have to introduce Megan to my parents," I said.

"Ashton, I know you hated your father during your birthday party when he invited Lauren, and your dad told you he wanted Lauren to be your wife in the future. I hope this incident has nothing to do with it, and you are doing all this because you want Megan to meet them." Zach replied.

"Of course, I want them to know Megan," I said as we continued to walk towards the locker room.

The following day I couldn't stop my heart from feeling restless the entire day, and I can tell I share the same feelings with Megan because I know she felt uneasy. She already asked his boss he couldn't report to his part-time job today. I drove her home, and I told her I would pick her up at six o'clock in the evening. My mom was shocked when she saw me in my suit while it was still early for the party.

"Wow, I felt so happy that you are too excited for my birthday party, son." She said the moment we met in the living room.

"What it is, Ashton, I can tell you wanted to tell me something. I am willing to listen, son." My mom said, and I wanted to tell mom first because I was hoping she would understand.

"Mom, I invited my girlfriend," I said, and my heart was racing as I waited for my mom's reaction, and I felt so glad when I saw the excitement on her face.

"Oh, honey, that would be so lovely. I was expecting you to bring your girlfriend during your birthday party." She added, and I felt so shocked.

"I am afraid dad will not approve of her," I said, and my mom's face saddened.

"I could tell she is not from the elite society?" My mom asked, and I nodded my head; and I was shocked when she took me into her arms.

"Ashton, I want to meet this girl, and I am so happy that you finally bring a girlfriend." She added.

"You are not upset or angry with me, knowing her family is not rich?" I asked my mom, and she nodded her head, and I felt so relieved that I had my mom's support and I couldn't explain the happiness in my heart.
