100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-157. Can't run away forever
Ashley's POV:“Adrin! Come here honey, we have to leave–”“Yayyy!!! We are going to mumma’s home town, and finally I will meet aunt Christie and grandpa Hopkins! And Eva won't be able to tease me because of her grandpa anymore.”The three old coils around my legs with excitement, making me question my decision once again.Am I doing the right thing or not, by making the decision to return there?I know that I can't run away forever.And I know that sooner rather than later, I will have to go there by myself to tackle all the problems going on with my father's business… but the city that I was born in has many more bitter memories attached to it, than it has my loved ones living in it. “Bad manners, Adrin! How many times have I told you, that Eva won't tease you with anything if you won't start it first and share your toys with her–”But he shakes his head instantly, expressing his disapproval of my statement and immediately justifying himself. “No, I am jealous of her! She has every
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch -158. The kid
Ashley's POV:As it is, I was already afraid to return to this country… to this city.And it looks like my fear has already started to become my reality within minutes of us landing here, as Adrin had already injured himself. He managed to free his hands from mine while I was trying to collect the luggage, and in his hurry to go and explore my city as fast as he could, he slipped and fell by the stairs.He fell down and hit knee, and broke down in tears all before I could reach him.“Daddy!! Daddy!! It's hurting …it's hurting too much.”He cries out loud, making my heart ache in sync as I finally get to him, crouching down beside him. I hurriedly pull him up in my arms, only to break down into tears myself, while patting his back and consoling him. But I don't let him notice it and quick wipe them away with my thumb. I am indeed an extremely emotional mother… after all, my tears needed a way to leave after I lost everything.“It's okay, Adrin, everything will be okay, you will be f
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-159. Fifteen minutes
Ashley's POV:The mornings have been starting off on an exceptionally fresh and refreshing note ever since Adrin has come into my life.Every morning, I have been waking up to his cute smile… but today, my baby is not that extra chirpy child anymore.The reason being, he still remembers the injury from last night. Even though I got him checked with the doctor and they assured me that he is perfectly fine, he is still claiming that it is hurting him.On top of that, he also has been missing the family he was raised with.The reason he is still hiding behind the non- existent pain is that my cute little man has completely taken after his father, who would rather themselves walk into an accident with eyes wide open to hide behind the pain of broken bones, instead of accepting that they could miss someone. I shudder; his memory comes like a freezing gust of wind, and Adrin’s voice wraps me in its embrace like a warm wind. “Mumma, where is Eva? Why isn't she here to meet me, tell her I w
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-160. Reunited
Ashley's POV:“I am telling you, you are going an extra mile for no apparent reason. We have been completely comfortable in the hotel–”“First of all, I am not going the extra mile for you, I am here for my grandson who has called me because he was missing his little aunt Eva. And you tell me, what is the use of buying houses in this city if you can't even stay in them?”Stuart cuts in before I can even protest, closing the hood of his car after stuffing all our luggage inside. He gets into the driving seat, tugging at his seatbelt and looking mischievously at Adrin, who is busy giggling as his plan has finally succeeded.“Oh! It all makes sense now, I was wondering why you switched your flight to one that arrives half an hour earlier. But I don't remember Adrin calling you, in fact he didn't talk to anyone apart from Mike in this time–”I stop abruptly as the puzzle pieces finally click into place, a little slower than usual.“I get it now! I get everything now… you little sneak, com
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-161. Hazel
Ashley's POV:“But Mike! You know I can't stay in this city, any longer. As it is, it's not a very pleasant experience to be here–”“Oh come on, Ashley… the people who were responsible for the death of your parents are still behind the bars, and you know how important it is for me to bid on that deal… you know I have always admired him as my idol–”“Yes, I know! But have never even mentioned his name. There may be a chance that I know him–”“Ash! Please don't forget the deal: I won't ask about your past and you will directly meet my idol for the first time I meet him.”“Okay! Nevermind, let's leave that for now. Tell me, when will you be arriving?”“Oh, I will arrive directly at the venue.”“Great! I am also going to change–”I say, assuming that we are saying out parting lines before cutting the call, but Mike speaks up. “Also, what are your plans for Adrin's fourth birthday? Don't forget, it's after three days.”“Do you really think that I can forget his birthday, Mike! Seriously?”
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-162. Four years, eight months and thirteen days
Ashley's POV:I get down from the car, already having reached the venue like Mike had asked me to do. And for some reason, Adrin has started to become cranky as soon as we have stepped in; but still, there is no trace of Mike here.It is a blessing that Stuart is here with me, and is also doing his best to calm my little terror monster down, which leaves me with the time to contemplate my decision to be here in the first place.They have indeed accepted my clause of handing over the award earlier than the rest of the guests and leave before the ceremony begins.But they have a condition of their own– they will only cooperate if I record an exclusive interview for them. Understandably, they have accepted my clause of it being an audio interview, without any face reveal; but now, after seeing my son getting so uneasy, I am not really in the mood to do that.I finish through the interview as fast as I can, and I'm just about to rush to my son, when someone stops me.“Miss. Hazel! Just w
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-163. New world
Ethan's POV:Everything has gone blank for a moment… or moments, I don't know!One minute, the world was spinning and the next, it stopped… just like that.In fact, everything has stopped in front of my eyes since I have seen her. I want to rush towards her… hold her in my arms, kiss her on her lips… but all I can do is stay frozen like a statue at my place, completely still. I didn't even realize that I have been holding my breath, refraining my eyes from blinking as if the dream I'm seeing through open eyes will disappear, the moment I blink, walk, speak or even breathe.This is when someone else walks into frame, and I can't help but watch in astonishment. It's a kid… the same kid whom I saw in the park of the hotel just this morning.What is he doing here, is he with one of the guests?As if answering my unspoken question, the little boy lurching towards her, trying to jump out of the arms of a man in his early fifties or late forties.A kid!?Ashley has a kid… a baby boy!?She
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-164. Ten more days
Ethan's POV:“Mike Houston!” I murmur to myself, recalling the face in front of my eyes, while a smirk appears on my own. Finally…! Finally, I have found a way to get all the answers to the questions that have been bothering me.In my entire life, never have I known anything so clearly about what I have to do next! I have never been so sure about anything, apart from this.I make my way out of the venue, chuckling silently, knowing exactly what I am supposed to do now. I mean, what are the odds of Ashley being with that man who is desperate to start his new project with me?This is definitely the power of my love that she is back. That even after so long, she couldn't help but come back to this city, back to the place where our love had bloomed, and back to me… where I am desperately waiting for her.The Universe knew that if I didn't see her even now, then I might not be able to survive. But despite this mercy on my soul, I have still decided to leave the function without meeting h
