In a VIP nightclub setting, Joe observes family dynamics, past relationships, and the motivations others suspect in his dating life. The narrative blends humor with tension as Joe chooses honesty, frustration, and self-control amid social pressure, family expectations, and unsettling comments about love and status.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCopyright © 2026 by Jade Dollston All rights reserved.  \nNo part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any electronic or mechanical means, including information storage and retrieval systems, without written permission from the author, except for the use of brief quotations in a book review.  \nCover Design by Shannon Brush Designs  \nEditing and Proofreading by Chrisandra’s Corrections  \nThis is a work of fiction.

None of them are actually true. Hell, I don’t even have a cat. Nor do I have diarrhea, raging or otherwise. But I’d rather be at home checking my emails than at this bachelor party.  \nLooking around at our group of about twenty, I consider sneaking out. They probably wouldn’t even miss me, right? And then my eyes fall on my brother Phoenix. He’s grinning in his gaudy groom T-shirt, looking so damn happy, and the guilt sets in.  \nHelix, my other brother, catches my gaze, and I can tell he feels the same. This nightclub isn’t either of our scenes. Helix is a scientist in our family’s cosmetics laboratory, the quiet, studious type, while I’m focused on the business side of our company. Some may call me a workaholic, but I find that such an ugly word. I’m simply driven.  \nPhoenix, the groom, who also happens to be Helix’s twin, works in marketing for Hale Cosmetics, which suits his personality perfectly. He’s  \nthe loud, outgoing brother, and a noisy nightclub is his jam.  \nSo I’ll stay. It’s one night, and your brother only gets married once. Well, hopefully. I think part of my problem tonight is I’m not thrilled about the woman Phoenix is marrying. In my opinion, Beatrice Bettencourt is not the right person for my brother. She’s stodgy, stuck-up, and has no sense of humor, the complete opposite of Phoenix. But maybe that old saying opposites attract holds true.  \nI want to support my brother, but this wedding shit has been a lot. Beatrice’s father has turned the entire week into a farce, with multiple parties and events","cbCaihJEEQfLyCUO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihJEEQfLyCUO","pdf",3172726,5,472,"English","en",105,"# Chapter 1\n## Introducing Joe Blow\n# Epilogue\n## Epilogue 1\n## Epilogue 2","[{\"question\":\"What conflict does Joe Blow face at the start of the story?\",\"answer\":\"Joe Blow feels uncomfortable at a bachelor party and is unhappy about his brother Phoenix’s upcoming marriage to Beatrice Bettencourt.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Joe Blow describe his relationship to the people around him?\",\"answer\":\"He portrays himself as driven but not a “people person,” noticing that the women he dates often seem similar and connected to status and wealth.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the group’s conversation reveal about Joe’s dating life?\",\"answer\":\"They speculate that women date him because of his wealth and the possibility of him becoming connected to the future CEO role at Hale Cosmetics.\"}]","Hale Damage - Jade Dollston | PDF",1785473807,727,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":87,"head_meta":89,"extra_data":91,"updated_unix":28},"hale-damage-jade-dollston","",{"@graph":36,"@context":86},[37,54,69],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,48,51],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":47},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":49,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":52,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":53},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/hale-damage-jade-dollston/115470/",4,{"url":52,"name":13,"@type":55,"author":56,"headline":13,"publisher":58,"fileFormat":61,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":62,"datePublished":63,"encodingFormat":61,"isAccessibleForFree":64,"interactionStatistic":65},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":57},"Person",{"url":41,"name":59,"@type":60},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-16","2026-07-31",true,{"@type":66,"interactionType":67,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":68},"ViewAction",{"@type":70,"mainEntity":71},"FAQPage",[72,78,82],{"name":73,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":75},"What conflict does Joe Blow face at the start of the story?","Question",{"text":76,"@type":77},"Joe Blow feels uncomfortable at a bachelor party and is unhappy about his brother Phoenix’s upcoming marriage to Beatrice Bettencourt.","Answer",{"name":79,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":80},"How does Joe Blow describe his relationship to the people around him?",{"text":81,"@type":77},"He portrays himself as driven but not a “people person,” noticing that the women he dates often seem similar and connected to status and wealth.",{"name":83,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":84},"What does the group’s conversation reveal about Joe’s dating life?",{"text":85,"@type":77},"They speculate that women date him because of his wealth and the possibility of him becoming connected to the future CEO role at Hale Cosmetics.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":52,"og:type":88,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":59,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":90,"canonical":52},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":93},[94,97,101,105,109,114,119,124,129,132,136],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},90,"story-novel",{"id":47,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":53,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":110,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":111,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":120,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":122,"slug":123},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":126,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":131},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":135},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":20,"slug":139},19,"General","general"]
