100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-168. Smirk
Ashley's POV:Ethan's smirk is visible enough to make me aware that this is undoubtedly a part of his plan to make us work in his office, but what is the reason behind it? Nobody knows that apart from him, himself! And poor Mike is too innocent to understand any of his tactics.This is why my heart is screaming with panic and I was so paranoid of coming here, at all.Then again, there was something I had to do: attend the final trials for Liam's verdict, take Adrin to his grandparents’ grave and introduce him to his roots… to the home where I have grown up.And along with this, the upcoming bid that has the potential to change the entire arc of my business has compelled me completely to return.But while returning, I have been mindful of some things. I had thought that by now, Ethan would just be happily married to Emily, and would have completely forgotten about me… and the ring on his finger is indeed testifying my theory, so I don't understand his efforts to keep us in his office
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-169. Precious
Ethan's POV:The moment they leave my office, I feel like they have taken my heart away with them– ripping it out of my chest and pushing me back on my chair.My lifeless body falls back on my seat, because I have the grave misfortune of breathing while seeing my life walk away from me once again.She is walking slowly, but the slower her pace, the more pain I am going through. And this has nothing to do with her arms intertwined with Mike's. But because with every step that she takes, I am being reminded of the fact that she isn't in my life anymore. And not because of any external factors or her own will– simply because of the silliest mistake of my life.Maria rushes into my cabin, probably due to the loud noise caused by the breaking of glass as I turn my entire desk upside down in anger, frustration, pain, or overwhelming emotions. I'm not sure what I am supposed to label it yet… or for that instance, if I even want to label it or not.All I know is that, whatever I am going t
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-170. Cash cow
Ashley's POV:This time, I turn around, whirling around to face Liam, still not believing my ears or the words of someone I don't trust… someone I won't trust again. I stutter in spite of myself,“You… you are lying… lying, right?”I place the question in front of Liam purely for my own satisfaction, knowing well enough that what he just mentioned wasn't wrong, either.He might have manipulated me in the past, but I've learned from my mistakes now. And this time, I know well enough that if he hadn't been getting anything from anyone, there was no way he would have known this in the first place.“No! I am not… the extra money you send goes into paying the fee for my lawyer, and fulfilling everything that I desire after being locked up here–”“No it is not possible! They can't possibly be using my hard earned money to save the person who killed my parents!”I slam my hand on the table, only for Liam to speak up almost immediately.“I alone didn't kill your parents–”“Yes, you alone did
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-171. My House
Ashley's POV:“Goodbye! Sister…”He stands up from his seat, the look on his face showing the miseries he is going through. The surprising part is that, in just a span of ten odd minutes, I am no longer able to see the old, cunning and selfish Liam anywhere.“Thank you!”My tongue betrays me once again and he gives me a genuine smile, before leaving the place along with the officer and two guards in tow. My legs begin their task of bringing me out of the place of their own accord; I don't remember how I got in the car and when I covered the entire distance between the prison and my old parental house.Parking the car in the garage, I remember the words that my mother said to me once. It has been more than five years since I last heard her speak, but it's one of the most amazing things that I still remember her voice crystal clear… like she never left my side at all. “Ash! Baby! Never feel inferior to anyone, okay? These people who say that Liam is going to be the owner of everythin
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-172. Drama series
Ashley's POV:“Your house!? What a joke, Ashley!! Do you somehow have lost your mind, along with your purity?!”Aunt May’s voice screams in my ears, coupled with her hoarse laughter… as if she has cracked the funniest joke in the world. If anything, I really want to slap her hard for the words she has been using for me and my son, but I remain quiet on this insult of hers. Because when I react, I don't want anyone to have any excuses to claim that I didn't give them a chance to speak their mind first. And instead, I decide to reply to her first doubt. “Yes! My house, logically, legally and morally: in all three regards, this house belongs to me. So I don't understand, what do you want to imply?”This seemed to push some specific button for aunt Estie, who jumps in vigorously into the conversation to defend her sister- in- law. “It wasn't that hard, Ashley! May simply wanted to imply that if you have forgotten, then let us remind you, that you yourself have transferred the house un
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-173. Half an hour
Ashley's POV:Once he is done with grandma and has made sure that she is maintaining a distance of at least six feet from me, he finally turns towards me and winks, speaking like it is a completely casual meet-up between friends. “Sorry for being late dear! I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. Apart from all the good things in this city, I completely forgot that the traffic in this city sucks! I mean it completely sucks!!”“No hard feelings, Stuart. You are right on time, because prior to this, I was just giving them a record of what belongs to whom, and who is the boss here!”“Oh, that!! Old so old grandma, who can easily be classified as an old hag, and you three ugly looking women! Listen to me very carefully, if you– by any chance– have missed Ashley's words.All four of you need to vacate this house within an hour, and after today, you all aren't even allowed even a hundred meters near this property… or any other property that belongs under the legal ownership of Miss Ashley
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch -174. He knows??
Ashley's POV: “Ashley!!”The word and the voice, both somehow lock my legs to the exact place where I was standing.I have already left this name in the past, along with the identity attached to it. But the moment this voice knocks against my ear drums, I just can't deny my reality any longer… I can't deny the life that I have once lived.Because I know no matter how harsh the past was on me, this person… the owner of the voice has always been kinder to me. In fact, I have to accept that when everyone else was there just because they were seeking some kind of benefit from me, he was the only person who was genuinely there for me, just because he cared for me.He cared for me like his own family.“Ashley! I knew it… I knew it! It's you, and I just knew you are alive… you have to be alive, healthy and happy! Or else… or else how could I have asked forgiveness for the sins I have committed in the past? The mistakes that I have committed thinking that they are harmless–”“Peter!”I turn
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-175. Tie
Ethan's POV:I stare fixedly at my reflection in the mirror, fixing my tie, which is just flat- out refusing to cooperate with me today. I've been standing here for the last eleven minutes and seventeen seconds, trying to make myself presentable and attractive. But deep down in my heart, I also know that this effort of mine has been futile from the beginning. Because the ray of hope, which I have been holding on to with all my might, is slipping away slowly– just like this stupid tie which insists on shifting ever so slightly to the left. I had been thinking Ashley won't be able to resist me if we will work in the same set- up in the same office… but man! This girl is really adamant on making me realize just how wrong I can go.It has been five days since we have been sharing the same office building, the same working space, the same common area, the same working plan… and most importantly, we are working on the same project. But for once… she hasn't spared me a glance, even for o
