Author's POV....

After Jackson and Hayley first met in the park, they continued to meet again and again since their daughters were friends and often wanted to play together. Through this both Jackson and Hayley become closer.

They were at a fun raiser event that Jackson's company held for their community. Jackson was just walking around until Hayley came.

"Hey." She called him as she walked up to him.

"Hayley." He called her.

"This is a really nice event. Thanks for sponsoring it." She said smiling.

"Its no problem. My daughter has friends here and she also attends school here so its really nothing." Jackson said and she smiled.

"Do you want to walk and talk?" She asked.

"Uhm... sure. I guess Ava is with her friends." He said as they began walking away from the crowd.

"Oh she's with Kaitlyn at the art stand." Hayley said.

"Thanks." He said. They both kept walking until they were further away from everyone else. The walk was silent until they came across the lake.

"Wow, the lake is...beautiful." Hayley said.

"It's not the only beautiful thing." He said and they both laughed.

"Thanks." She said as they stared at each other. They both leaned in and kissed each other.

Two Weeks Later...

"Look Jackson, it was really getting boring pretending to like you, kiss you and ugh... thank goodness its over now!" Hayley said with a smirk.

"Well its such a shame that it all went in vein." Jackson said smirking and Hayley looked confused.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Ask my lawyers." Jackson said.

"What?" Hayley asked even more confused.

"See, I wasn't stupid. When you said that the Johnson family destroyed most of your company, I believed you. I did until I got a phone call from someone called Brandon Johnson. Who wanted to know about your company, since they heard the rumors about what you were accusing them of. Turns out they haven't even met with your husband's company." Jackson said.

"Its funny how you think they're your friends. Your company is down Jackson. I mean look who joined us." Hayley said as Mr and Mrs Johnson walked out with Brandon Johnson.

"What the hell is this?!" Jackson asked.

"Daddy?" Ava called as she and Martha walked in.

"Mother take Ava out!" Jackson ordered.

"Lets go Ava." Martha said quickly leaving with a confused Ava.

"Sorry Jackson, but the cops will be taking you in." Hayley said and the cops came to arrested Jackson.

"For what?!" Jackson asked.

"Sexual assault and fraud." Hayley said.

"What nonsense is this?!" Jackson asked.

"See, remember that night after the club?" Hayley said and Jackson looked at her with disgust.

Few Days Ago...

Both Jackson and Hayley was at a club, both taking shots of tequila.

"I have literally had about six of these already." Hayley said.
