After the Fireworks FadedChapter 1
Ashley’s POV
As I stared at my phone, I realized that I was alone again.
It was my 22nd birthday and I had cleared out my whole day, even though I had a lot of work to do to, spend the day with my boyfriend, Jared.
We had made plans three months ago because Jared is a very busy man considering the nature of his job. He was the heir to a powerful Mafia Lord and he had to step in for his father at many events.
I dialed his number, hoping that he would pick up my call.
The moments I had spent with him had reduced several times because he said he had a big project. I tried not to pry too much, but part of me worried because of the nature of his job.
The other part of me worried because of Sara, his first love, who just returned to the city.
“Jared. Pick up.” I dialed his number again.
My call went to call forwarding and then it was cut.
As I paced around my small living room, I tried not to think too much about all the things that could’ve gone wrong with Jared. He always had to be on the lookout for enemies.
A message dropped on my phone the next minute: Something urgent came up.
