AshleyIt took me a few seconds to realize she was hugging me. A mother's love should be affectionate but every time she has shown love it comes with a price. I didn't have to wait long before that warm hug turned into the strangling grip of a python. Ah! The same old stories, I am always a prey you need to devour to satisfy your hunger; not your daughter. ***“The sun and moon were lovers in the past life but when god learned about them he was furious. How can they love each other when they are supposed to love god? In anger, God cursed them to be right beside each other but they can never see or touch each other. The sun and moon begged for forgiveness but God didn't listen. For ages the sun came out at day and the moon at night. When they missed each other they asked the clouds to tell the other through rain. After eons of this, the god fury finally came down and he saw the lovers still loving each other. In guilt, he made a day when they could meet each other every year. He also

AshleyThat day I cried. I cried to my heart’s content. I cried for losing a part of me. I cried for every pain I locked away. Once I got my shattered pieces put together, I promised myself. One who ruined me deserves to be ruined. Zachary. Mom. Father…I cleaned my disheveled shelf, it was definitely not a good look on my first day at the office but luckily no one disturbed me. I mended my red eyes as much as I could with my makeup. The ring Zachary gave was put on the counter. I wore it back. Let's show him he is winning. Let's give him hope. He can't fall unless he flies highest. After finishing the rest of my schedule, I walked out of the office. It was already nightfall by the time I was free. If Zachary was not enough, Noir made sure I remained in hell. In the distance, a car stood there. A back sedan almost matches the environment. It was a business district, and people having a sedan was the most common. I paid no attention and headed towards my studio apartment. “Ashley.”

Zachary “Come with me.”Her voice was a bit trembling, as she looked around her. As if I was not her husband but a stranger entering her workplace. I followed her, till we reached what seemed like her office. Leah locked the door, even shutting the window blinds facing the cubicles. “What are you doing here?” Leah inquired, crossing her arms over her chest. “Just visiting my wife at her new office. Why? Can't I?” I stepped closer. Leah's eyes widened, as her face flushed into a pretty shade of red. She stepped back, trying to maintain the distance between us. Seeing her trying so hard to escape made me close the distance more and I did, until her back hit the wall. “What do you want?” She glared at me. “Let's see, some kisses and move in together. Ah also, you are wearing my ring and informing others that you are mine.” I whispered. It was just a bluff, except for the last part. I never forced her to do something she didn't wish to, not now not ever. “Piss off. I am not your da

Ashley “Ashley Cooper, daughter of James Cooper of Cooper Groups coming to their competitor's company for a job. What do I take that as?” A man mostly in his fifties inquired. His blue eyes sparkled with curiosity and a smirk. “To grow as an individual. You know how my father is a misogynist, he doesn't like women in leadership positions and I wish to be on top.” I let out a polite smile, explaining to the man. It was not like Nicolai Lee was surprised. It was he who extended me the offer to join his company. Right now, he was just testing my interest. Keep a calm and composed front. Calm and composed. Calm–I played the mantra in my head on a loop. Giving one hint of disinterest would make him reject the only way to get back at my father. “Good to have you on board, Ashley.” Nicolai got up, forwarding his hand for a shake. I put up a smile, shaking his hand. After a few minutes, I was at one of the subsidiaries of JL. The Oakleaf Hotel chain as the Chief Operating Officer with

Zachary ***18 years ago.“Are you the new guy?” A soft voice as if she owns the place. A young girl with ginger hair flowing down her shoulder walked into the boy's locker room. “Everyone out except the new guy.” Her voice was firm, her gaze never leaving me. Soon the room was empty. Leaving just the two of us.“You have pretty eyes.” She complimented walking closer to me. “Have a girlfriend?” Her words were mellow but something addictive was about it. The sweet smell of strawberries filled my lungs. The way her green eyes with hints of brown specks remained at my curiosity got the better of me. “I do.” I lied just to see a reaction in those eyes and as I wanted her face twitched into a sour look. “Break up then. I don't like sharing.” Her words were sharp, if looks could kill she would be a serial killer. “No.” I know I was playing with fire but this was fun. She was the first person who wanted me. Once she learns that I am just an orphan, someone even unwanted by my own parents

Ashley I glanced outside the window, it was already morning. The sun had risen. The soft light seeped through the curtains. I sighed, getting up from the bed. The dream remains, except for locking it away there is nothing to do. I went to the bathroom to freshen up, if Bloody Mary was not real they should have seen me they would have the horror. The ruined mascara and eye makeup with dry tears over my cheeks. The red lipstick was half smeared on my lips and half on my cheeks as if I were some kind of clown. The hair was more like a whacked broom. Jesus! I am getting scared of myself. I wash myself, clean my makeup and everything, and after a quick shower. I was finally back to my human form. I put on my clothes before going out of the room. As I opened the door, my gaze met the icy pale blue eyes that made my gut wrench by their beauty. How can a man be devastatingly gorgeous like this? I just want to meet the one who created this man. He was already dressed in his black suit, ha
