100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch- 54 Hot chocolate
Ashley's POV:I settle into the cab, barely aware of my surroundings. "Just go straight from Melrose Avenue, then take the first right off 125 and Hayden Park.”I mumble the directions absentmindedly, not even bothering to check if the driver understands. But he doesn't acknowledge my words either, and when I finally look up, I catch him staring at the marks on my arms through the rearview mirrror. His gaze lingers for a moment too long, and I quickly avert my gaze, rubbing my palms along my arms as if I can erase the evidence of what happened… but all I can do for now is distract myself. Turning to the window, I try to focus on the changing scenery outside as the neighborhoods blur together, a mix of old and new, rundown and pristine. I lean my head against the cool glass; the cab ride will be an hour long at the very least, and maybe I'll get a chance to rest on the way?But there is no trace of sleep or rest in my eyes or my destiny, because every time I close my eyes, I feel t
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch -55 Parasite
Ashley's POV:The last two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and I did nothing at all in these two days since I returned from Tiffany's home.Has there been a sense of fear and anxiety lurking in my heart, that I'm going to get a call from Ethan at any moment now, summoning me to come and satisfy his needs, his desires and sell my soul in return for the huge favor he is doing to me? Yes, I have barely been able to sleep… not to mention the number of times I wake up gasping and terrified that I have missed a call from him and now, I'll have to pay dearly for it. But have I missed him…? Hell yes! The most painful experience of my entire life is that no matter what happened and what Ethan has done to me, I still can't hate him… forget that, I'm not even able to stop myself from missing him! Although, one thing was certain in my mind: I don't want that night to be repeated, not at any cost… but I also know that it isn't in my hands anymore, because I have signed away the right
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch - 56. Mine
Ashley's POV:For a moment, I try to struggle against his grip. I know I am not this weak that I can't fight back; I can at least struggle to free myself from his grip…Or so I thought. But judging by his bloodshot red eyes and the anger that is being reflected in them, lurking somewhere in his mind– all this is telling me otherwise. He is ready to kill me… he wants to kill me. At any cost, and by any means!Until now, I have been under the impression that everyone is putting up this fight against me, simply because I am claiming my rights on the business.But it is at this moment that I'm beginning to realize something else: it's not about the business, it was never about the business… it is just that he never liked me. They have never liked me, or accepted me, from the start. He has never considered me as a part of the family; and till this moment, everything was just a show to try and deceive me into thinking that they care for me as a family… They desperately wanted to pull t
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch -57 CCTVs
Ashley's POV:I can't… I can't tell him who did this to me. Even though I really want to tell him, tell someone about what happened to me, but I can't. I don't want to make a fool of myself, because I know there is no one who will take me at my word and believe me without any questions. And right now, I'm afraid that if I have to answer just one more question, I'll crumble… So what's the point of telling him anyway…?I muster the courage to speak again, ignoring Ethan's hot breaths against my skin, which are doing a great job in messing with my head; and he knows it. This contract thing has gotten out of hand long ago, and I spotted the first sign of the upcoming disaster back when I first started to feel pleasure in his company.But that night, he made it very clear, about what to expect and what not… and I am not someone to make the same mistake twice.“I can't–”“What can't you do, dear? Is it hurting so much that you can't even decipher it, sweetheart…?”He gently pushes some s
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch -58. Thanksgiving Dinner
Ashley's POV:“Ethan, I think there was someone there–”“There is no one you should be concerned about.”I try to inform and warn Ethan about the person who has probably seen every moment of our makeout session in complete detail, and might be just one step away from circulating the rumors that the whole city will enjoy for days with tea and tabloids.But he doesn't let me… he doesn't even let me say what I was trying to. In fact, in return for all my concerns, I received just one simple sentence from him. “Don't worry about that person, she is not for you to care about. I will be dealing with that matter myself.”I know that once he has said this, there is nothing in this world I can say or do, to change his mind. And if he is not afraid of the scandals, then I shouldn't be, either.I look up to see why we stopped abruptly, only to find that we have finally reached the room where the meeting was rescheduled for.I know it is definitely Lucas because of whom I didn't receive the new
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-59 Candidate
Ashley's POV: “How can you do this? Who do you think you are, to show such blatant disrespect towards everyone here? We have been respecting you because of your name in the business world and your business ethics, it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want!”Lucas snaps as soon as he hears Ethan's words. To be honest, I already saw it coming, but regardless of that, I am really amazed by Ethan's boldness. Not only has he ripped every paper out of the file presented as the company's report, but he has also claimed that he will change everything, from the bottom to the very top. In front of everyone, like a challenge! I can really never understand this man… no one can! Of course, this has rattled Lucas so much that he has gone on a rant, without realizing that Ethan's glare means he should shut up for his own betterment.“You don't even have the majority of the shares to make decisions. Then how can you even say something–”“Before you say anything further, Lucas, let me remi
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch -60. Jealousy
Ashley's POV:Something has been clenching my heart since before this meeting, but this hug… this hug has healed everything that I have gone through, these last few days.All the torture that has kept me awake during the nights, all the fear that has kept me from walking on a new path during the days.He proposed that I go home with him, but at this moment I feel like I am already home.Is it right, is it wrong…? I don't know what it is, but I am feeling safe. For the first time in days, I am feeling safe… and I'm feeling safe in his arms.“Hey, what happened?”A soft voice echoes in my ears. “Huh?”I inquire, confused.He wipes my tears slowly, making me realize that I am slowly crying in his arms.He then silently places two quick kisses on both my cheeks, making me blush.“Ashley! Let's go home, the things I want to do with you, can't be done here. Let's go.”I nod.Ethan holds my hand firmly and we head towards the exit.There are a few pairs of eyes stuck on us, following our ev
100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch -61 Brownies
Ashley's POV:We reach Ethan's house… the one from where I was casted out brutally the morning of the day of the memorial, and yet, here I am… Although the memory is still quite fresh in my mind, it also feels like it happened ages ago, probably because the dynamic between us has changed so much in the intervening days…or maybe it's just me, hoping for it to change.Gosh!! I need to get my mind out of this whirlwind of thoughts so badly, before I get sucked in deeper. “Ashley!”“Yes.”He calls my name, unknowingly helping me with something I secretly asked for just now, while his eyes find mine.“Listen, we are going to have a very long day and night ahead, so do you have something specific in mind that you want to eat?”That's not the question I was hoping for, but the growl from my stomach made me realize that this is probably the thing I should be thinking about, right now.“Anything will do the job.”I can swear I wanted to smile after saying it, but since my parents have left,
