Chapter 125Aryan's POVSeconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours, hours into days, days into months, months into years. I am proud and ready to look back at what I have achieved so far in life. I am glad to look back at what I have achieved so much and A & B Corporations have turned into an organization everyone wants to take part in. My name could be found anywhere all over the social media platforms but then I still refused to speak to the world that I am the one behind those huge products people use today. Wines, magazines, hotels and resorts, and yachts of different sizes under my name but they all don't know the face behind it. They know the name but don't know who exactly the person is. Even my employees can't talk to me directly. Some haven't even set their eyes on me before. I walk freely around people without them knowing I own the cooperation. Some claim they have seen me before and some said they haven't while they have come across me so many times. Well, I
Chapter 126ASHLEY'S POVIn front of the world, we act like the sweetest couple but behind the camera, it's hell for me. I don't even know what to do with my life anymore and the more, I tried to escape, the more he is going after me. I have tried to escape on three different occasions but, this man is always going after me. Catching up with me. What hurts the most was him using Chloe to threaten me.What kind of father uses his child to threaten the mother? I still find it so hard to understand. No matter what, I think I will die here. I don't want to lose hope. It's been years now and this suffering continues. I feel like I want to remember something but then, I will suddenly go blank. My head would hurt and I will suddenly feel like having sex. I will feel horny all of a sudden. Whenever I try to contact my mom, he would always appear behind me and hurt me and force himself on me. But now, I think I am pregnant. I don't want to be pregnant. I don't want to be pregnant for this stu
127ARYAN'S POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror as the makeup artist did her job. I fired three of them this morning when they won't stop smiling like a creep. One of them looked so stupid trying to seduce me into sleeping with her. Like who the heck does she think she was? Tonight was my wine party. I had planned to reveal myself to the world. Different people from different countries would be there tonight and of course, those wretched bastards would show up. I want her to show up too. I want her to witness my luxurious life. I am better than they all are. I promise to ruin them. Ashley and her family. A message popped in my phone. It was from Jewel, my assistant.She messaged that the guests are arriving and I had also made plans for the red carpet. Not like an award night but then, I feel it is necessary. People must show off how classy they are. Their dresses and appearances make the impact better. I set down my phone on the table and shut my eyes. The thought of her sho
Chapter 128Aryan's POVMy heart ached at the sight of my wife. Or should I say, my ex-wife? Ashley Marcason.The woman I loved acted like my wife in a contract I was forced into. It wasn't like I was exactly forced into it. I had decided to help her but what did she do? She betrayed me and still had the nerve to come directly to my celebration. Merely looking at her, she wasn't fine. She looks like she had just escaped from where she was being held captive even though she was dressing properly. She was cladded in a royal blue gown with a slit that cut through her thighs. Her hair wasn't the same as before. She now had this curly, blonde hair that fell right on her back and shoulders and her makeup was at its worst. What was she thinking? She looks like she had been in trouble. I was on my feet. It was until I looked down beside her was a little girl who... What the heck? Who is she? And why the fuck does she look like me? Everyone began to murmur. What the heck was happening? She
Chapter 129ASHLEY'S POV"Ma'am. He said he doesn't know you and does want to see you. He also said you shouldn't push it."Those statements made tears stream down my face. This is not me. This is not the Ashley Marcason that I know myself as. How did I end up married to Lucas? They lied to me. Especially my mother. How could she do this to me? Even Olivia who I thought was my best friend played me like a fool. Remembering those times she and Lucas would fuck in my presence. They treated me like a fool. I screamed out in tears and agony. How did I allow this to happen? I can't even pity myself because my whole life has been ruined. Even the man I loved said he doesn't want to see me and that I shouldn't push it. That means it had been seven years. I lost my memory for seven years. So many disgusting things have happened to me. I never even used to allow Lucas to touch me and now? Oh my goodness! How could my mother do this to me? How could she ruin my life like this? They lied to me
Chapter 130Ashley's POVI ended up explaining everything to him in the car. I was grateful he believed me. Someone finally believed me. I had told Parkinson how Lucas would hit me severally, locked me up in a room, how he cheated on me with Olivia, my best friend. He would do a lot of things to me and threaten me not to say to anyone. I have lived seven years of my life in utmost darkness. I explained everything to him without leaving a single talk out. "That man is nothing but a bastard. A beast." Parkinson said. Then he turned to me. "I just hope when you explain all of these to Aryan, he would believe you.""Where can I see him? Where can I find him?" I asked shakily. I just needed to talk with him. "Man is busy throughout this week but he'd be free next Saturday." I nodded. I will wait. I just need to find a place to stay. I am never going back to that house. "Do you even have anywhere to stay?" He suddenly asked as if he were reading my mind. "No, I don't. I don't have any
Chapter 131ASHLEY'S POV"Leave and you will never have the chance to see me ever again." I heard his voice as my hand gripped the knob of the door. I didn't face them. His commanding tone alone even made my knees weak to my toes. He just ordered me. He just threatened me. I didn't stop hearing the slaps of skin because he wasn't stopping at all. He didn't care if I was there. Tears rolled down my eyes. I don't even know why I am crying. It's been seven years. He would have moved on. C'mon, Ashley. You don't cry over a man. He is a human being. He should have been married too. Soon the lady screamed that she was cumming and I think I heard him pull out of her and he told her to get out. I ducked my head low and shifted to the other side to allow the lady to leave the office. She Left leaving us. I still haven't turned around. Tears had stained and wet my cheeks. This is torturing. It hurts, it hurts. "Turn around." I heard his voice. I refused. I didn't turn around. It was whe
Chapter 132ARYAN'S POVPain. That was all I felt at that moment she was with me. It dawned on me that she knew nothing about the whole thing. Everything that Lucas had said to me in the prison was all his idea and not hers. But I still find it hard to believe it was all Sylvia's idea. So even when Lucas called her in front of me in prison. She said she loved him. I heard it. It was her voice I heard. I don't care. And that little girl can never be my daughter. I don't have a daughter. I am all alone in this world. It's been seven years. How could I have a seven years old daughter without me knowing? She lied to me. She told me once before that she was only stressed. That only meant one thing. The day I caught her coming back from somewhere late, that means she was pregnant then. All that time. But I wasn't the only one who fucked her then. Lucas was the first. I could see the pain in her eyes when she saw me with that lady. Well, it was not my fault. She offered herself to me and
