Chapter 160

• MICHEAL'S POV
• Ever since the rumors spread that I was dating my best friend’s daughter, everything has been complete chaos. Reporters have been swarming outside my company gates, chasing after my car, shouting questions I'm not ready to answer. They've been camping around my mansion just to get a piece of information. I can't even breathe without someone twisting it into a headline. The only safe place left is my penthouse.
• Announcing our status to make our relationship public has crossed my mind more than once. But the truth is, I don't want to put Ashley through that yet. I don’t think she’s ready for that kind of spotlight. Being my woman—and the mother of my child—already draws too much attention from the public. The world loves to talk, and they never stop talking.
