100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-210. Let's go!
Ethan's POV:“Mike! We are here!! The first room on the right.”Ashley tries to look past me and yells out the directions to find us in reply to his unnecessary, unwelcomed, uninvited screams.Because I don't remember inviting him to my home in any condition… and especially not right now.Anyway, I don't have the time to waste on that idiot. As it is, there is a mountain of questions– piled one on top of the other– stacked on my head.Questions which I need answers for, and I know with him present here, I am not going to get any single hint about those.“Ash… don't… please don't.”I murmur softly, looking at her, holding her by her shoulders and pleading– I know in my soul that I can give anything for this, just for a few more minutes with her.And for a fraction of a second, I can see the pain of my heart reflected in her eyes too.But before I could have continued, that idiot finally proves the proverb right; think of the devil, and the devil is here!“Hazel!! My darling!! How are y
Last Updated : 2024-11-12100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-211. He is lying
Ashley's POV:The fear of Ethan's interrogation, which has been controlling my heart and dominating my thoughts, gets a little tamed down with the arrival of Mike, which he announces with a series of questions.And this is why I quickly narrate the directions to reach us, knowing that the longer I stay alone with Ethan, the more difficult it would be for me to hide Adrin's reality.But when he doesn't stop even after Mike's arrival, I decide that it would be good for all three of us if I left the place right away. No matter how poor or shabby I look and how disoriented I feel right now, I can't afford to stay here for a minute longer– or else, it would be too dangerous for me.So the moment I spot the opportunity, I grab it with both hands. But the moment I start to walk towards the exit, I end up noticing the pain in his eyes… the loneliness which I once felt when I first met him. The poor boy who has been greatly deprived of love, care, attention and affection, starts to appear in f
Last Updated : 2024-11-13100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-212. Closing all doors
Ashley's POV:The first thing I did after entering the house was to step inside the shower, since I have already told Mike that I will be heading directly to the hospital.Because even though I wasn't completely guilty for what happened yesterday, there are still some fractions of guilt which have ended up falling in my lap, too.I have not only taken the worst decision of my life because of the internal rage I was burning with, but I haven't even cared to inform anyone about this decision in detail.Regardless of how many times I've tried to forget it, I am yet to slide the fact off my head that if Ethan had not arrived there on time, then I don't know what would have happened to me.I can't believe the stupidity I have portrayed, as I didn't even care about my son and his condition in my rage.Twisting the nozzle completely to the right until water starts to rush out of the showerhead, I sit on the cold hard ground, bringing my knees to my chest.I need time… time to think about eve

Ashley's POV:I have finally made it to the hospital, and I feel like I can breathe without feeling the weight of each breath like a burden. My son is right in front of my eyes, sleeping peacefully after having some breakfast and taking his medicines. He is healing well, and the doctors have assured us that if everything goes well, then they might consider discharging him tomorrow.Stuart finally got the much–deserved time off to go home and rest, while Mike, who had rushed to New York after leaving everything unwound over there, had to return. Although he didn't want to go anywhere after seeing Adrin’s state, I've made sure that he did. After all, I can't allow him to harm his own business when he was here because of us, busy clearing the mess that he was not even a part of.He is not responsible for anything related to me or Adrin, and the irony is that the person responsible for Adrin, doesn't even know about his existence. And even if he knows about it, I am afraid that he woul

Ethan's POV:“Ethan, have you completely lost it? What are you up to, and can't you see that we are in the hospital? Let me make it very clear so that you don't presume to do anything like this again! My son is admitted here, and I can't leave him alone–”Her sweet voice knocks against my ears, carrying a note of agitation with it, and I look at her face with a smile. “Love! Do you really think that I can ever do or plan anything which can give you anxiety? No, honey! I know Adrin is here, and he can't be left alone… but I also know that he is sleeping right now, and the medicine will at least keep him sleeping for two hours–”“So? Even if the medication will keep him sleeping for the next two hours, what do you want me to do? I still can't leave him unattended here–”“Who told you that you are going to leave him unattended?”I cut in, anticipating that her next words are definitely going to be about Adrin’s condition. In order to put her worries to rest, I was just about to tell her

Ashley's POV:My anger, fear and anxiety of getting caught up in the lies of my life with Ethan vanishes the moment he starts to play the video, as all my attention has shifted to my poor baby… who was captured in this surveillance footage, getting bullied by his friends brutally.Not only had they snatched his water bottle and lunch box, but they were about to push him to the ground, while at least three other kids were grabbing his collar, sleeve and elbow, pulling him in different directions at the same time.And meanwhile, the teacher was just chilling; sitting peacefully on one of the swings without showing any concern to save my baby or interfere in the fight and break it up.This scene is already enough to make my blood shoot above the boiling point.I'm confident that if I don't get to talk to this teacher as soon as possible and demand answers for her deliberate and blatant act of irresponsibility, my blood will surely start vaporizing in some time, because of the rising fire

Ethan's POV:Her eyes finally soften after a long time, after hearing Peter's words. Otherwise, I had almost lost the hope that she would ever consider my words.“Peter, I… I have told you about–”Her voice again brings me back to the present, but Peter doesn't give me the chance to enjoy it, even for a little while longer.“I know you should have briefed me about your son and moving on with your life, but that is not the reason why I am angry with you. I am not mad because you have hidden your happiness from me, but I am angry because you didn't even contact me in your misery. So before I get even angrier, it would be good for both of you to leave.”He speaks with a fake anger in his tone and a wide smile on his face, as he turns towards me. “Go and get that wench!! Who dared to hurt our precious Adrin!! Or else you both should know that I just don't look fierce, I am actually a very fierce person–”“Yes! We both know that you are a cutie patootie!! Who can almost give a tough compe

Ashley's POV:I have taken a seat on the chair placed inside the director's office, while Ethan refuses to relax even for a second and keeps standing by my side, screaming at the top of his lungs to get Lily Allen in front of our eyes within the next few seconds.And as far as I know him, I'm sure that he isn't going to sit down until she appears in front of him and he gives his verdict for the crime she has committed.But as for me, knowing the reason is more important than making sure that she gets the due punishment. I also know that no matter how scared Lily is going to be, she still might not be too willing to give us the full details, but finding out what is going on with Adrin is more important than anything else.She can keep the details to herself if she can tell me, why were those kids bullying him? How can his teacher be so heartless, that she herself pushed him off the swing?Because if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, not only would I have given her the benefit of the

100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-226. Till death do us part
Ashley's POV:I take a glance at the clock, I have a few minutes to myself before we have to leave for lunch. After saying goodbye to Mike, I plan on finally telling my feelings to Ethan when he is sober… judging by the state he was in last time, he probably isn't going to remember anything about our conversation. Just as I lift the second earring from the dresser, my phone rings, vibrating with an urgency. It is a call from my assistant, and I receive it quickly. “Yes M–”“Ma'am, did you see the news? The quotations from Mr. Johnson's bids are all over the place just before the bid is due to start, and everyone is speculating that it is you. News agencies are reaching out for an interview ma'am, what are we supposed to do?”“Okay… I will see what I have to do.”I disconnect the call, feeling a pit in my stomach. Of course, the public opinion will be against me now, as he has just said over the call. But not only that, Ethan might doubt me too… because I am the single person he ha
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-225. Goodbye Lunch
Ashley's POV: Although I have mentioned to Mike that I have to pick Adrin up, I still drive towards the church, knowing that I have lied to him.But why do I have to lie to him? Because if we are going to marry each other, it should be normal… a normal gesture of affection between couples, right? I gulp, realizing that the answer is painfully obvious. I know I am not being honest with anyone… neither him, nor with my own self. Caught up in this dilemma, I reach home, knowing that today is scheduled as Ethan's turn with Adrin.To my surprise, I find Adrin sleeping peacefully on his bed, having changed out of his uniform. And Ethan's car is still parked by the entrance…Finally, I notice Ethan… sitting on the floor, beside the couch, which is probably why I missed him in the first place. I walk around the couch with careful footsteps, until he comes fully into my view… and so does the drink in his hand, which he is chugging like no tomorrow. Rushing towards him, I quickly snatch t
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-224. Do me a favor, Marry me !
Ashley's POV:Nobody can imagine the pain and frustration I have spent my night with… aside from stomping on my own pride and having to call off the engagement for the second time, the papers of the custody were something that I was fearing the most.But now when I have them in my hands, the only emotion I have left inside me is anger.Pure rage running through my veins like molten lava…It is in this anger that I rush to his house to confront him, the house I'm extremely familiar with. And without any consideration, I make a beeline for the stairs, directly barging into his room without even knocking or waiting.But the moment I step inside, I realize what a mistake I have made, because Ethan is in there… half- dressed as he is changing his clothes. It takes me a moment to process, and I have probably been staring at him for a few minutes straight before I spin on my heel, facing the door. The word “sorry" is on the tip of my tongue, but he chuckles before that;“Umm… hey Princess!
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-223. Real Dad
Ashley's POV:The incident of me falling and Ethan going completely insane because of panic, has done nothing else but to add itself in the list of evidence for something I don't want to acknowledge.His reaction was not only enough for letting me know the feelings in his heart, but his actions were enough to spread this news through the entire office too!And this is what has been keeping me awake at nights… I know that Mike obviously knows everything about that event, but that's not all. What's bothering me more than that, is the fact that he hasn't asked anything from me.At the same time, I haven't asked anything from him, either. But I know we can't go on like this… I need to tell him the truth and ask him the reason for his absence.With this thought, I step on the brakes, snatching my purse from the passenger seat as I get down in front of Mike's house. I step inside without knocking, knowing that he lives alone and my shouts are enough to tell him about my arrival.“Mike!! Mik
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-222. Call the ambulance
Ashley's POV: Even though I have committed to prepone the engagement, to save myself from the great disaster… I don't know what exactly I am supposed to do next.However, before I can do anything, my phone chimes, notifying me that I have received a text from Mike. The text is simple, with several sample invitations attached to it.“Please check these out, and let me know whichever one you like.”I quickly select the one that I have opened the first out of all, and text him back.“Should we announce a party before the engagement?”The text bubbles pop up within seconds, materializing into a reply soon enough. “Yes! I am ready to do everything which makes you happy. If you want to announce a party, then we will call one.”“Thank you!! Can you get me this invitation ready within five minutes, even in digital format? I need to send it to someone urgently.”“Whatever you want sweetheart.”With this message, he signs off and comes back within five minutes. “Here you go! See you tomorro
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-221. Reschedule
Ashley's POV:At last, I managed to drop Ethan off after lying to him, only to reach the hospital and find Adrin awake and sitting up on his bed. The moment I walk in, the first question Adrin has asked me is,“Mumma, where is Dadda?”But I am way too caught up in my inner conflict to give him a logical reply, or even think of one. Everything that happened in the daycare is still overwhelming my senses to the extent where I just pull him closer to my chest.Hugging him tightly, as I finally ask him a question which has been bugging me for too long. “Adrin!! Baby, why didn't you tell mumma that the kids in the day care are bullying you–”“Because Dadda has told me that I am a big boy, who has to protect his mother till he is not there to protect both of us, and anyways, I am a brave boy!! Who knows how to protect himself–”“Awww!! Come here my sweetie pie, who taught you all this…?”“Dadda!!!”Adrin exclaims, before the next words tumble out of his mouth without any breaks. “Mumma,
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-220. Fifteen minutes maximum
Ashley's POV:Even I wasn't very hopeful at first, but somehow, I have finally convinced Ethan to stand up on his feet, almost dragging him out of the church when he's practically in a waking coma. And knowing his miserable state, I know he isn't going to be able to drive at all. So the best idea that comes into my mind is to drop him to his house first, and then rush back to the hospital.Although, it is the first time I have seen him cry like this… and while seeing him in this state, the logical woman inside me has been compelling me to tell him the truth for a while now.But the mother inside me has been continuously warning me against it; and the best way to deter me is by telling me the consequences of my honesty.Since the moment he has started crying bitterly, the overly logical mother that also lives inside me, who believes in teaching her child the chapter of honesty, has suddenly turned into a bloody hypocrite. Going against her beliefs, she has started to preach another le
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-219. Punishments
Ashley's POV:I have never seen Ethan as angry as he is right now; like he isn't made of bones and muscles, but thunder and rage. I don't have a single doubt in my mind that he is ready to tear down the entire building if Lily wouldn't appear in front of him within minutes.The director understands the assignment and quickly calls Lily Allen to the office; as the policies protecting her staff have gone out of the window real quick.With the summons now being sent for Miss Allen, the fear of Ethan ripping the soul straight out of her body starts to scare me. I mean I want the worst punishment for her in this entire world… I want her as far away as she could from the kids, but I don't want her to become the victim of Ethan's wrath right away! “Ethan, calm down…”I find myself tugging at his sleeve, trying to get through to him. He flashes me a look, glancing at me only through the corners of his eyes. “Calm down? Ash!! You still want me to calm down, even after hearing the crap that
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-218. Ice cream truck
Ethan's POV:The moment I heard the words of Stephanie, I could feel something breaking inside me.In my life, I have come across many monsters disguised in human appearance, and probably, I am also one of them.But none of them have turned out to be so cruel, to be capable of saying these types of things in front of not just one kid, but his entire class… and not only that, but to actually ask other kids to stay away from that poor soul and bully him!And saying that it's all okay because he doesn't have anyone to fight for his rights…“Stephanie, sweetheart! Can you please tell us what happened that day?”Ashley's words bring me back to reality at the critical moment, before my guilt would have killed me with its sharp claws. And as soon as her voice pauses after posing the question, Stephanie chimes in with an enthusiastic yes, and continues with her narration.This is the real bliss of childhood; they don't really understand the things which have hurt them in the past, but now, it
