100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO Ch-94. Hide
Ethan's POV:Emily's words are harsh, crude and blunt, as if she is trying to prove that she isn't lying… but I know she is. I have noticed the glaze of tiny droplets that have accumulated in her eyes, and it is enough to tell me the story otherwise.But what is she trying to hide? Why does she have to hide anything in the first place, when she knows that I am well familiar with the love she holds for me?Is Jordan forcing her in some way…?There are many questions running through my mind, when she invites me to her wedding!Shit! How can I miss it! She is doing this intentionally, just like I have made her jealous by being with another girl, she is now taking this game to one step ahead.But this game isn't funny anymore, because it has started hurting me… and badly at that. The anger pumping through my heart starts to poison every single drop of my blood. And I start my car, deciding to visit the press conference, even though I know that I am not in a sane enough mind to go there

Ashley’s POV:I don't know why, but the question is enough to make my heart beat fast, my cheeks red… and my breath starts to hitch on its own.Are me and Ethan too evident to come into anybody's notice, is there something really going on in between both of us… apart from the contract, whose deadline is approaching?Are they really asking this question because they think it would be a nice question to be asked, or is it Liam once again, who is behind this question too?Several questions cloud my mind at once, and I am getting ready to dive into the answers when Ethan's voice reaches my ears.“I have to admit, the media is getting more and more creative these days, but shouldn't your job be to deal with the reality, and keep yourself as far from the imagination as possible? Because according to my observation, sometimes imagination prevents us from seeing the truth that is just in front of our eyes!”Ethan sweeps his eyes over the crowd, making sure to make eye contact with everyone b

Ashley's POV:My hands shake for a moment, before I could pick up the call or exchange a glance with Ethan. And in the meantime, his voice knocks against my ears again. “I might be cruel, but I never remember forbidding you from taking any calls. So go ahead and pick up the call, if it's urgent.”I quickly swipe the green icon and answer the incoming call as soon as he completes his sentence, because this call is not just important, it is super important. “Ashley!”A soothing voice rings in my ears, making me remember how badly I have missed my best friend this whole time.“Yes Tiffany! Where are you? I have been trying to contact you through every possible source, and was still completely unable to track you down. Did you somehow manage to change your galaxy and settle down on some other planet in this universe? Because there is no way you are still alive and present on this Earth!”I spit out everything that I have been carrying inside my heart for the entire past month, since the

Ethan's POV:I hear her voice colliding with mine, making me realize what a huge mistake I have made in the mess that was forbidding me from thinking straight… and in this state, I decide that it will be good for both of us, if I stop the car right now.The car screeches to a stop, but before I can think of what answer to give her, she turns in her seat. Once she is facing me, she grabs my right hand that has been clutching the hand brake, and pulls it towards herself.“Ethan!? Is the fact that I am not the same girl, who met you for the first time at the hotel, really bothering you?”I want to answer her and say no, it's not; but her face, her lips, her nose, her eyes and the emotions scattered on her face, that are resembling a little guilt, a little tension… something close to fear and a little bit of shyness, make me unable to process anything.After all, these are all the emotions I wanted to see on Emily's face today.Nodding my head up and down, I finally manage to find my way

Ethan's POV:I can see that Ashley isn’t going to back down, because she knows that she has the upper hand over me right now. Her fingers inch higher, grazing the seam of my jeans, her touch light but maddeningly nevertheless. My breath catches, and I feel my pulse pounding in my ears, savagely reminding me of how badly I want her.“Careful there… you're playing with fire…”I warn her, eyes fixed on the road ahead. But even as I say it, I know I’m losing the battle because my own body is adamant on betraying me. The rain pounds against the windshield and blurs out the windows on all sides, making it feel like we are the only two people in this world.Ashley leans closer to me, her lips brushing against my ear. “Oh yeah? And what if I like getting burned?” She whispers, punctuating her question with a slow, deliberate squeeze of her hand over the growing bulge in my jeans, and I let out a low groan, gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turn white.“Jesus, Ash… cut it out

Ashley's POV:Within seconds, I feel a sudden chill in my heart because of this thought, along with wetness on my cheeks.I can't stay here anymore, there is something hurting inside me… and right now, I need some time alone to find what it is and why I am feeling bad about this whole situation, when everything was already mentioned in the contract.Or I am just being paranoid, and Ethan also feels the same way for me…? No, Ashley! You can't let yourself believe the fairytale version of this story that has been expertly written by imagination… not until Ethan himself approves it.Because the one- sided heartache that I am currently going through, is much better than the heartbreak of a fully matured and confessed one- sided love.I slowly slide his hands off my body and stealthily place my feet on the ground, careful to not make a sound.I sneakily stand on my feet, grabbing the nearest gown that I can find, hanging on the cloth hanger before I walk towards the kitchen.A good cup

Ashley's POV“Yes!”I reply with a smile on my face, noticing that he is a teenager, who might be working here for some extra pocket money.I have always admired hard workers and people who believe in working to fulfill their needs, regardless of the position of their job. I feel a sense of respect towards them, probably because of the stories that my dad has narrated from his youth. The boy smiles back at me as he reaches into his pocket and forwards a note towards me. “Here, somebody has left this note for you.”I take the note with heavy hands, thinking that Tiffany is going to stand me up once again. But as soon as I open the note, my entire body relaxes. The fear has vanished from my mind, because the note isn't from her.Instead, there is an address scribbled on it, along with a message that if I want to know more about my life, I should surely pay a visit to this address.It is definitely from the person who has told me about my parents' accident earlier, and has refused to

Ashley's POV:For a moment, I can practically feel my heart sinking. I quickly pull my hands back; Tiffany had placed her own hand on top of mine, while reciting the offer of date that she has brought with her; and now, her hand falls on the table with a dull thud. But I can't bring myself to care.Robert has always been a good acquaintance to me… and after he saved my life not once but twice, the respect for him in my head has also risen significantly.But… we have never been close to each other, what with Tiffany present between us; hell, we're not even close enough to be called ‘friends’!So when Tiffany announces this bizarre news, I feel so shocked that my tongue slips again.“I'm sorry, Tiff! I can't go on this date, in fact, I can't go on any other date. I… I mean, I can't go on any date with anyone, because there is already someone whom I like very much. Or probably, I already love him–”“What!?”She is so shocked that she almost jumps out of her seat, but then, noticing that

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
