Introduction

Aidan, um bilionário e CEO da Empire, é conhecido pelo título de 'Top 5 Solteiros Mais Quentes' por duas razões. Sua aparência extremamente boa e por não querer se casar, pelo menos até completar quarenta anos, mas sua mãe continua marcando encontros indesejados para ele, deixando-o frustrado.

Kenna, a melhor amiga de Aidan, é uma médica que nunca encontrou o momento certo para o amor. Ela sempre esteve ocupada com o trabalho a ponto de esquecer de sua própria vida pessoal.

Chapter 1

20 Anos Atrás . . .

Kenna senta-se quietamente no banco de trás do carro, brincando com seus dedinhos enquanto espera que sua mãe apareça do prédio do escritório que seu pai possui, mas ela já esperava há trinta e cinco minutos e sua mãe ainda não havia aparecido. Ela sabe o quanto sua mãe é apegada ao trabalho.

Quando está prestes a soltar um suspiro profundo, uma mulher familiar com cabelos castanhos escuros e olhos azuis claros começa a caminhar na direção do carro. Os lábios de Kenna se curvam em um sorriso, observando sua mãe entrar no carro, dando-lhe um sorriso apologético.

"Desculpe, Kenna. Você me perdoa?" diz sua mãe, fazendo com que ela acene com a cabeça. Mesmo tendo apenas seis anos, ela entende bastante sobre a carreira ocupada de seus pais. Ela já ouviu desculpas suficientes.

Na verdade, Kenna tem um coração mole, conhecido pelo motorista da família, Jeffrey. Ela se apega facilmente a alguém e os perdoa na velocidade da luz assim que pedem perdão... é por isso que Jeffrey gosta dela.

"Direto para o jardim de infância, senhora?" pergunta Jeffrey, olhando pelo retrovisor enquanto suas mãos seguram o volante.

Jeffrey trabalha para a família desde que saiu do ensino médio. Ele tem mais ou menos a mesma idade do pai de Kenna, se não alguns anos mais velho. Mesmo que não haja muita diferença de idade, Jeffrey tem uma ruga visível perto dos olhos e no meio da testa, fazendo-o parecer mais velho do que deveria.

"Sim, Jeffrey." responde a mãe, aplicando outra camada de batom vermelho nos lábios antes de fechar o espelho compacto e colocá-lo de volta em sua bolsa de couro.

Kenna observa sua mãe, notando a maneira como ela se senta com graça e elegância, definindo-se como uma mulher. Seus cabelos castanhos escuros caem em cachos bonitos sobre os ombros, fazendo-a parecer profissional e casual ao mesmo tempo. Mesmo sendo alguém que passa mais tempo no escritório do que em casa, ela nunca pediu uma pausa nem reclamou.

"Animada, querida? Você vai conhecer novas pessoas e fazer amigos," diz ela, virando-se para olhar Kenna e vendo que ela está brincando com o elástico de cabelo na mão. Ela sempre o leva aonde quer que vá, pois é conhecido como seu elástico de cabelo da sorte, algo difícil de conseguir.

"E se eles me odiarem? E se eu não fizer novos amigos?" pergunta Kenna, sua voz alta o suficiente para ser ouvida, mas bastante baixa se sua mãe estivesse mais distante.

Sua mãe segura sua mão, apertando-a como um sinal de apoio antes de sorrir para ela. "Kenna, querida, você é a menina mais maravilhosa do mundo. Você é inteligente, bonita, talentosa, engraçada... temos que trabalhar um pouco na parte engraçada, mas você é capaz de tudo," tanto Kenna quanto sua mãe riem, felizes que sua mãe está aumentando seu nível de confiança para fazer novos amigos.

O carro para, Jeffrey se vira para olhá-las com um sorriso assim que seus olhos pousam nela. Então, Kenna e sua mãe saem do carro e caminham em direção à entrada do jardim de infância, de mãos dadas.

"Oi, você deve ser a Sra. Roosevelt," uma mulher começa a caminhar em direção a elas enquanto estão no meio. "Eu sou a Srta. Cooper. É um prazer finalmente conhecê-la," continua a mulher enquanto a mãe de Kenna aperta a mão dela, deixando Kenna com um leve sorriso.

"Da mesma forma, Srta. Cooper." a mãe de Kenna responde.

A mulher conhecida como 'Srta. Cooper' se vira para olhar Kenna, seus olhos castanhos brilhando com diversão. "Você deve ser Kenna," diz ela, agachando-se na altura de Kenna. "Há algumas crianças que também estão se registrando hoje, Kenna... por que você não se junta a elas no playground?" Ela se vira para apontar para o playground que pode ser visto do lado de dentro através da janela de vidro.

Os olhos de Kenna encontram os de sua mãe enquanto ela acena com a cabeça, "Vá em frente, Kenna. Faça alguns amigos," diz sua mãe, fazendo com que ela caminhe diretamente para o playground depois de olhar duas vezes para sua mãe, que está conversando com a Srta. Cooper.

Assim que Kenna sai para o playground, ela encontra alguns meninos brincando perto da caixa de areia enquanto outro menino brinca sozinho perto dos escorregadores. Kenna franze a testa ao perceber que só há meninos no playground... então ela se dirige ao balanço, segurando firmemente nas laterais enquanto se senta.

O balanço começa a se mover para frente e para trás enquanto ela olha para o céu azul, que a atrai. Suas mãos afrouxam o aperto nas laterais antes de seus lábios se curvarem em um pequeno sorriso, apreciando o canto dos pássaros nos galhos.

"Você está no meu balanço," diz um menino e, antes que ela possa se virar para reagir, ela cai no chão enquanto tenta se apoiar para não bater o rosto. Seus olhos vagam para olhar a figura atrás dela, vendo um menino com cabelos castanhos e olhos castanhos claros olhando para ela com uma leve carranca entre as sobrancelhas.

"O que há de errado com você?" Kenna pergunta, seus olhos quase se enchendo de lágrimas, mas ela as segura. Ela desvia o olhar, enxugando as lágrimas enquanto tenta se levantar antes de olhar para o arranhão e o corte em seu joelho direito.

"Aidan Gabriel Ashton!" Uma mulher desconhecida sai em direção ao playground com os olhos arregalados enquanto se apressa em direção a eles. Ela agarra o braço de Aidan enquanto se vira para olhar Kenna, "O que você fez?" Ela pergunta ao filho, que apenas revira os olhos, simplesmente não se importando.

"Ela estava no meu balanço," Aidan responde, rapidamente cruzando os braços.

A mulher caminha em direção a Kenna, seus olhos mostrando preocupação antes de olhar para o sangue em seu joelho. Seus olhos se arregalam enquanto ela se vira para o filho, "Você não age assim com ou em relação a nenhuma menina, Aidan. O que eu te disse..." Quando estava prestes a falar, Aidan a interrompe.

"É muito indelicado machucar uma menina e também é desrespeitoso machucar alguém sem motivo, mas nunca machuque uma menina," ele suspira, de alguma forma ficando entediado de dizer a mesma coisa mais de uma vez.

"Kenna?" Os olhos de Kenna vagam para sua mãe, que olha para os três com surpresa antes de se aproximar deles. Ela olha para o arranhão no joelho de Kenna, "O que aconteceu?" Ela pergunta, preocupada.

Assim, Kenna senta-se sozinha em uma das salas de aula, seus olhos vagando pelo ambiente e para seu joelho, que foi coberto com um curativo. Suas sobrancelhas se franzem ao som de sua mãe falando sobre como ela se machucou sem motivo.

"Agora." Alguém diz antes que a porta se feche novamente, tudo fica em silêncio, imediatamente.

Em segundos, Aidan aparece perto da porta, o que faz Kenna olhar para ele, vendo que ele está brincando com a ponta dos dedos, mas seus olhos estão olhando para ela. Então, ele se senta do lado oposto a ela, "Oi."

"Oi..." Kenna responde, lentamente.

Kenna e Aidan se encaram com uma expressão sem emoção, mas como crianças, eles não sentem nada além da atração pela beleza um do outro.

"Desculpe por te empurrar do balanço." Ele diz e Kenna olha para a porta, vendo que sua mãe está lá com a mãe de Aidan, também olhando. Ela segura seus dedinhos debaixo da mesa antes de olhar novamente para Aidan, que parece estar pensando em outra coisa antes de lhe estender a mão, "Amigos?" Ele pergunta.

Como Jeffrey sabe, Kenna sempre será a que perdoa. Ela foi criada com bons modos e sempre os seguirá, "Amigos," ela suspira, apertando as mãos.

"Seus olhos são muito bonitos," Aidan diz enquanto inclina a cabeça para o lado, o que faz Kenna sorrir.

"Os seus também." Kenna responde e eles começam a falar sobre outras coisas, nas quais Kenna se sente confortável rapidamente. Ela nunca se sentiu assim antes, especialmente com alguém que a empurrou do balanço, mas por algum motivo, ela sente que serão amigos por muito tempo.

Ambas as mães os observam com um sorriso no rosto enquanto eles se conhecem. Nenhuma delas sabia que, desde aquele dia... eles conseguiram ser os melhores amigos. Foi uma jornada valiosa e foi a jornada deles.

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
