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

    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

    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

    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,

Stone head- stone heart.”I mouth the curse, trying to take another bite of the brownie, realizing that I'm even unable to swallow the first one till now. My throat is going through a throbbing pain, making me believe that I'm completely out of breath. And within seconds, I start coughing uncontrollably.Fear starts to wrap its hands around myself l, and its claws start to press down on my neck once again. What is going on… what's happening to me? I have become completely clueless, my mind totally blank.I hear some footsteps rushing towards me, is it Peter… is it Ethan, or is it my hallucination? I don't know… the only thing I know, is that my eyes have started to shu

    Ashley's POV:The next two days pass with just the blink of an eye. I knew there would have been a lot of work for me to do, if Ethan hadn't helped me… but even after his help, there had been plenty of work to keep us occupied; which was probably going to take up the next four days as well.But he did help me, and here we are, almost at the end of my work– four days earlier than it is supposed to be. But again, nobody in the world gets everything on their plate; just like I haven't gotten the chance to leave Ethan's house even for once.Also, I've tried calling Tiffany countless times, but she isn't picking up my phone, either. Each time, I am getting a new message of her being busy with something else; and it is making me happy and envious at the same time.Like, girl! If you aren't taking me along on your escapades, then at least ask me if I can come with you, even if halfheartedly! But anyway, at least one of us is enjoying life, and I am really happy about this.I am sitting in t

I have never seen him so vulnerable… scratch that, I haven't ever seen him vulnerable at all!“Ethan!”“Yes, princess?”“Princess?”“Yes, that's your new name for us to use–”“What do you mean, for us to use?”“Princess! There are many things between us, that are only for us to use… just like this.”Saying this, he captures my lips again and I feel him, reaching for the hem of my dress.Within a minute, the dress is on the ground as he flips it off, over my head and finds a soft spot on my collar bone.I hate to admit it, but as much as I'm enjoying this, I still remember that we have to go for groceries.“Ethan–”I try to talk again, while he is busy nibbling my neck.“Yes, princess?”“The groceries–”“Don't worry, someone else will buy it for you again, just focus on what is more important right now.”“But

Nor has she tried to call me, either.That day, I was left in shock when I saw her noticing me at the supermarket, and she still left… since then, I have been trying my best to convince myself that it wasn't her, and I must have been mistaken.But I know, no matter how much I lie to myself, that it was her, only her.My thoughts are ready to push me to the breaking point, when I hear the crack of the opening of the old door. I raise my head to find the old butler stepping out.“Miss Ashley! How are you?”“I am good, Mr. Den! How are you? Can I meet Mr. Hopkins today? It is really important for me to meet him today… and see, I am exactly on time today–”“I am afraid, Miss Ashley, that I may have to disappoint you today as well.

    Ashley's POV:I must admit that whoever has come up with the idea of back doors has indeed done an impressive work, as they are extremely helpful to everyone who wants to enter the house illegally, or without being noticed.Okay, I admit the reasons falling under the illegal category might better be avoided, but it's just that I am thanking the person because it is not my own safety which is at stake right now.Otherwise, these back doors have always been one of the several reasons for my nightmares.After saying that I will be back tomorrow, I waited for Mr. Den to leave and lock the door from the inside. I knew that he wouldn't go inside till he saw me walking away from the house, and so I did.I started walking towards the u-turn, so that I could access the back lane of this street, making it easier for me to get to the backyard. And I have just found out that my guess was right! “Yayy!”I let a little low scream of happiness out of my mouth in celebration, as I hop off the fence

    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

    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

    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!

    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

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

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,

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

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

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
