The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Megan's POV

I could see the sadness on Axel's face as he bid his farewell to Ashton's siblings, especially to Isabelle. And Ashton's grandparents asked Axel to come and spend his summer vacation with them, and my son felt so excited, and he couldn't wait to go fishing with his great grandfather.

We all said to each other goodbye, and I didn't want to leave just yet, and it felt like the time we spent at grandpa Henry's estate would never be enough. We were riding in one car with my parents while Ashton's brothers drove different vehicles, and Isabelle was riding with Zachary and Alice.

"Mom, can I come back here this coming summer?" He asked excitedly, and then my father cleared his throat.

"Axel, I wanted to ask you to visit us in Astikoz and spend your summer vacation with us." My father said, and I turned my head to look at my son's expression; I smiled as I saw him scratch his head, and he looked so adorable as I realized he was having a hard time how to answer his grandpa.

"Son, don't worry, you can come and visit mom and dad, and you still have time to enjoy at your great-grandpa's estate. You have so much time during summer." I said, and his face lit up.

"Are you sure of that, mom?" He asked, and I could tell he couldn't believe I would allow him to visit my parents.

"Can I come to your hometown and see Aunt Ava and Uncle Dexter?" He asked excitedly, and I nodded my head.

"Wow, that is cool. Are you going to come with me with dad?" He asked, and I found it hard to answer him because I couldn't take a leave for a long time.

"It would be okay if your mother will not come, Axel; we can come and get you, and then we will bring you back to Megalopre." Mom answered, and I cleared my throat before I spoke.

"It is okay, Mom; Ashton and I would bring him to Astikoz, and then we will leave him over there, and we will get him back the moment he wants to come back home or when he asks to visit his great-grandpa," I said as I smiled at my mom, and I could see the happiness on my mother's face.

And I know my mother and father are still thinking I don't want to come home, and I realized it is about time to revisit Astikoz. It was my hometown, and I couldn't deny I missed the city so much and wanted to go back with Ashton and Alice.

And I am sure my best friend would become so excited the moment she learned I decided to come home finally. It is about time to forget the past and the bitterness of yesterday. I am now engaged to Ashton, and since our High School reunion was canceled and they moved the date, I would suggest to Ashton, since he offered their hotel as the venue, to transfer the date of the said event to summertime so that we could enjoy the beach after the reunion.

Axel fell asleep, and Ashton carried him inside the house the moment we arrived in Megalopre, and I was stretching my limbs on the front porch, and I could tell my mother wanted to tell me something since she lingered on the entryway waiting for me.

"Are you sure you want to visit us, Megan, when we return to our house in Astikoz?" She asked, and I linked my arm with hers.

"Of course, mom," I responded.

"It is about time, I already let go of the past, and I am now happy with my life, mom. I am so sorry if it took me a long while to decide to visit our house again." I added.

"It is okay, my dear; it was all our fault." She softly said.

"Hey, it was no one's fault, mom," I said as we walked inside the house, and I found my fiance and my father in the living room.

I excused myself and went upstairs to check on our son; I smiled as I realized his father had changed his clothes; I could tell Ashton had wiped him with baby wipes, and I couldn't stop myself from caressing his adorable face.

I was looking at our son's face for a long time. I kissed his cheeks before I got up; my heart skipped a beat when I saw Ashton was leaning on the door frame, I didn't realize he had come after me, and he looked so hot with his tight jeans and a white t-shirt.

He motioned me to come forward as he offered his arms for me, and I stridden towards his open arms, he pulled me into his tight embrace, and I couldn't get enough of his manly scent.

"He looked so adorable, isn't he?" He asked, and I nodded my head.

"Yeah, just like you," I responded, and he captured my mouth right away, and I couldn't contain the excitement that I felt as I kissed him back hungrily; I always love the way he kissed me. I could feel my toes curl as he deepened our kiss, and I could feel his tongue swirling and dancing in my mouth.

We were both breathless after he released my mouth, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so hot as he looked at my eyes with so much intensity. And then he took my hand, and we slowly got out of our son's room holding hands, and we proceeded to my room, and I think I need to sell this house after we get married, and I will buy another estate because I will not feel comfortable knowing this house once owned by Gael. 

I know it was from the past, but I want to give Ashton peace of mind, and I am sure Gael will continue to mess with our lives even if he promised never to hurt Ashton again. I want him to have a happy life because I know I owe Gael a lot, and I am so grateful for all the things he has done for us.

"Hey, what are you thinking, Meg? Why did you fall silent?" He asked, and I smiled at him.

"Nothing, I still feel heady, and I couldn't believe until now that you are my fiance," I said, and he grinned at me.

"I wanted to marry you right away, Megan, because I couldn't wait to make you my wife, but I want to give you the grandest wedding you deserve." He said as he looked at my face full of affection.

"I only wanted a simple wedding, Ashton," I replied.

"I know, but I want to show everyone how in love I am with you, and I know I don't deserve you as my wife, but even so, I will try my best to become deserving of you." He said, and I laughed.

"Stop being so humble, Mr. Pritzgold; it doesn't suit you, my love," I said, and he chuckled while I walked closer to him; I looked at his compelling eyes, and I could feel the rise and fall of my chest, and I know I still have the same reaction every time I look at his face. Every moment I am this close to Ashton, I will always feel so weak, and his proximity will always give me a tingling sensation down my spine.

"Ashton, don't ever say that you don't deserve to have me because you will always be the only man I want to be with, and that would be enough reason," I said, and the sweet smile he gave me made me feel so heady.

"Thank you, Megan, for giving me another chance to love you and feel your love. I felt so excited to make you my wife." He said before he captured my lips, and we shared another mind-blowing kiss that was enough to make me feel breathless.

"I don't want to go back to Majuscule yet, because I wanted to spend the night with you here in your bed." He added, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling disappointed because I thought he would be spending the night with me, but I quickly recovered from my shock and I tried to fake a smile, but I could tell my effort was futile.

"Hey, don't look so sad, Meg; I will have lunch with you tomorrow, and I will pick you up in the afternoon, and I will take you home, and I promised to spend tomorrow night here with you and the coming nights." He said, and I shook my head.

"I am not sad, Ashton; I am smiling at you," I declared.

"Your eyes are not smiling, Meg; I promised to make it up with you." He replied, and I realized I couldn't hide my genuine emotion from Ashton.

"I will be busy tomorrow, and I am sorry if I couldn't have lunch with you," I responded; I could see the dismay on his face, but he gave me a weak smile.

"It would be alright, and we will be spending the night together tomorrow night." He said, and I could feel the excitement in his voice, and his words made me feel better.

"Of course, I couldn't wait to be with you again before you can even leave," I said, and his smile broadened.

"The feeling is mutual, Megan; I always feel this way every time we are together, and it feels like the time we have will never be enough." He said as he tugged me closer to him, and we embraced each other for a long time before I let him go; in silence, we walked out of my room holding hands. And we descended the stairs, and I sent Ashton to his car.

"Please, take care and drive safely, Ashton," I said, and he nodded his head.

"I love you, Meg; see you tomorrow." He said.

"I love you more!" I responded, giving him a quick peck on the lips before I moved away from his car. I was standing on my driveway, still waving my hands until I could no longer see the tail lights of his car.

 I got inside the house with a heavy heart. Still, when I looked at the engagement ring on my finger, I couldn't contain the happiness I felt in my heart as I realized I didn't need to feel this way anymore because I would become his wife soon.. I joined my parents in the living room with a broad smile on my face, and I could feel the excitement to meet Ashton tomorrow.
