20 He’s Minel 

(Ashlyn) 

I was three years younger than Winona and Jayden, and when I was in high school, the school was full of legends of their love. I wanted a love like that and before long I realized I wanted even more. I wanted. Jayden to love me like that, not to see me as just a little sister. 

I tried so hard to be just like her. She acted like an older sister to me. I’m an only child, so it was cool. We did all the same stuff together and she really was amazing. But she had the one thing I really wanted and I couldn’t change that. 

Their love was crazy. Like all the books and movies. He’d sacrifice anything for her, even his family fortune. After his father passed, then Jayden had the accident, his mother Judy took over the running of the business. But Jayden always remained CEO. 

Judy knew I loved Jayden and she did everything to encourage me to make him fall in love with me. Winona was out of the picture, in a coma. Who’d know if she’d ever recover and Jayden’s memory was pretty bad. 

The doctors did all they could to help him recover his memories safely but said he may never get anymore back, or he might get them all in time. This was my chance to shine. To show Jayden how much I loved him. To show him I could love him more than anyone could. 

I stood by him and even when Winona came back and tried to convince him to love her again, I stood by him. 

As a young girl in high school, I also wanted to have the constant attention of love, to be infatuated and adored like Winona had been. I was so envious, so I subconsciously imitated Winona. Maybe I knew what I was doing. But I didn’t care. 

Then Winona and Jayden had the car accident… 

Like a thief, I stole the love he had for Winona. A love that was so deep it made everyone envious.

But, I was afraid that people would say that I was similar to Winona and that’s why Jayden fell in love with me, so I became more me and less Winona. Jayden’s feelings for me didn’t decrease like I feared. I even believed that Jayden loved me more. 

Jayden and Winona were always arguing together, but he and I never argued. We had a truly perfect relationship and I did trust and believe in our love. 

Then she woke up… 

The fear of losing Jayden at any moment was very real and Judy really hit panic mode. She wanted us engaged and me pregnant as soon as possible. Jayden had set strict boundaries around babies. He didn’t want to be a father and I’d agreed that I wouldn’t want kids either. 

He’d also said no sex until we were at least engaged, and I hoped he’d ask me to marry him sooner. I didn’t know she drugged him into sex. I was shocked and more jealous than ever. What if that triggered his memories? I told him if he wanted her then I wouldn’t stand in his way. That is not how I really felt.

But thinking she could win him back that way, made him go into a rage with her. He proposed to me and was very nasty to Winona demanding a divorce until she signed the papers. 

Our first night of lovemaking was amazing.

I’d finally gotten what I’d craved all these years. Jayden, heart, body and soul. Finally, I couldn’t be happier. But Judy wasn’t. She said I never truly had him until I’d married him and had his baby. She didn’t want to listen to me say we’d agreed not to have children. 

I had contraception but Jayden also always wore a condom. So getting sex to happen without one never going to happen. But no contraception was fail–safe. There was always a chance of pregnancy… 

I honestly believed that, maybe once, Jayden loved Winona deeply, but now he loved me even more. Theirs was a young love, ours was built on stronger foundations of me helping him through his recovery and being willing to give up having a child for him. 

It was okay, Jayden is all I ever needed to love.
