Chapter Seventeen. Aryan's POVThe middle-aged blonde woman entered with three other people. Another woman who seems around her age is a red-haired guy with plaster on his forehead. Seems like he was injured. And a brunette lady. One could sense the aura emanating from them. My heart raced so fast that I stayed glued to my spot. I don't know why I suddenly get scared of them. I haven't committed any crime whatsoever. Telling from their dressings, one could see that they were all loaded. Like super-rich. Are they family of Ashley? What if those two women were her mother and aunt? And that guy was her brother. And that lady? Maybe her sister. What if they came to beat me up or take me to prison or even kick me out to the streets where I had come from? The blonde woman seems in a hurry to get to the nurse. "Where is my daughter?" She questioned impatiently. Yes, this was it. She is Ashley's mother. I let out a heavy breath which sent my mind on a despicable long run. "Mrs. Macarso
Chapter EighteenAryan's POVThose emerald eyes were familiar. That's not the issue right now. The main issue here was that these ungrateful beings were sending me to jail even though I had nothing to do with why Ashley fainted. No matter what, I would speak out. I would not let them scare me because of their stupid wealth. One day I will get rich and I will make sure all of them pay. One by one. "Let me talk to them." Parkinson wanted to go to the woman but I stopped him by grabbing his left arm."Don't," I told him. "But why? You still don't know who these people are. You have no idea. If you go to jail, they will press charges against you and when they do, you won't be able to leave. All forms of bail would be cut off you will rot there." He explained. "I don't want to involve you in my problems, Chasse. I don't want to do that. If you force it, you will be dragged along with me. I have my plans. If the cops are here, I will try to explain to them."."No. You can't. As long as
Chapter NineteenTwo days later*ASHLEY'S POVI opened my eyes slowly even though they were blurry. I rubbed them gently and opened them hoping they would adjust to the light but unfortunately not. The next thing I heard was voices. "Ashley, Ashley dear. Are you awake?" I heard the voice and opened my eyes completely. Turning to where the voice was coming from. I saw my mom's face upside down. Then she came to my side and I felt her warm hand on my bare face. Tears rolled out of her eyes. I gasped. Why was she crying? "Why are you crying, mom?" I asked her. "My dear, I thought I would lose you. I thought I would lose you "she repeated sniffing. I smiled. "C'mon mom. I am fine. There is nothing wrong with me. See," I tried to lift my hand but I felt it was too heavy to lift. I turned to the side just to see the plaster and I looked straight up just to see the drip connected to my hand. I frowned. "Where am I, mom?" I asked her. "She doesn't even know where she is at the moment. T
Chapter TwentyAryan's POV It's been the past two days now that I have been in this hell of a cell. My body is sore and filled with mosquito bites. I might get sick sooner or later. I have tried to tell them that I know nothing about Ashley's condition. They are all just trying to pin that on me. Checking into the mirror of the bathroom, I saw the dried blood at the corner of my lips and the corner of my left eye. I have been punched severally because I refused to obey the cell's president. His name is Oscar. He has always found a way to make me feel inferior and to make me suffer. He and his inmates would always beat me up at night. Just last night, they were about to strangle me in my sleep but I was quick enough to wake up and push them away but I ended up getting beat up again. I just want to leave here. They didn't offer me water not to talk about food. I walked back into the cell just to meet Oscar and his friends laughing. "Hey, Rascal. You want some food?" He asked. Bein
Chapter Twenty One ASHLEY'S POV"You have just five hours more to solve these problems" I saw Anita sitting right on the chair I sit in in the office. I was stranded as she looks at me with a frown on her face. I got angry, wondering what gave her the audacity to sit on my chair. I should fire her. What insolence! The nerve!"Get up on my seat, Anita. That seat is mine." I said trying to move it was when I realized what was happening. Looking down at my body, I was putting on my hospital gown. I swallowed. No, this can't happen to me. Why the hell was I stranded? Why? What had happened to me? I raised my head just to see Anita again. This time she had a smile on her lips. She was happy. "No!" I yelled. "Get up, Anita.." I shouted but she laughed hysterically. "What do you think? It's over for you, Ashley. You have finally been kicked out of your company. What you worked hard for has become mine. I will enjoy them till they last." She said and laughed uncontrollably at me. This ti
Chapter Twenty TwoASHLEY'S POVThe nurse left after checking my vitals. She replastered the drip again and I felt like cursing but I won't let her suspect a thing. Even when she asked why it was removed, I told her it wasn't my fault that I wanted to drink some water. The stupid nurse believed the lie I told her and she was even smiling at me. Fool! As soon as the door was closed, I began to curse out. I don't like this at all. How was I supposed to get this drip out again? No, I don't want to feel the pain again. Instead, I grabbed the scissors that were on the trolley I saw close to the bed. I cut the drip instead and I was free. But the solution in that drip bag poured right on the floor. I moved away immediately and went ahead to peep through the hole again. It was clear. I attempted to twist the knob but I remembered that I was a famous person. A celebrity. Those stupid reporters would make it the headline news by tomorrow. Crazy people. I shut the door locked and checked thro
Chapter Twenty ThreeASHLEY'S POV"I want you to take me to him, Chasse. I want to see him." I demanded but he doesn't even look at me. He was furious. I know. This was all my fault. If I hadn't gone to his house, he wouldn't have been in this position. I shouldn't have gone to his in the first place and now my mom sent him to jail where Lucas's men would torture him. Yes! Lucas has his men in jail because he had been bailed several times for committing a lot of atrocities but was taken out of jail by his mother. Those bastards!"No, I am not allowing you to go near him. Your mother caused him trouble. She sent him to prison even though he saved your life. But what did he get in return?" Parkinson said dipping his hands in his pocket. "I demand you take me to him now," I asked because I do not know the exact police station where he was sent to. Parkinson shot me a death glare. I frowned. "You know what? Just get back to the hospital. You are not even okay yet." He said and looked d
Chapter Twenty FourASHLEY'S POV Immediately those three words escaped my mouth, he pushed my hands away and shifted back. I knew this would happen. I have already prepared so much for this. "Let's get married," I repeated waiting for another reaction from him. The fact that he only smiled but the smile disappeared was so disturbing. "You don't know what you are saying. Just get out!" He muttered. "No. I won't. I want you to marry me, an Aryan. It's for the best for us all. I promise." I told him. "You are out of your mind." He told me and he was saying the truth. I was out of my mind. Out of my mind.For him!"You have to understand me, Aryan. I am doing this for both of us. I will bail you out in exchange for this." I told him hoping he would understand. Then he smirked. "Do you even know what marriage is? Do you have an idea that we are going to be committed to each other throughout our lives?" He asked and I knew what he was talking about. Marriage is all about love and commi
THE END!Chapter 140 Writer's POV."You think you can just live happily after everything you have done?""What? I have not done anything bad to you. Not at all." Ashley muttered. "Shut up, you have done a lot to me. A lot. You stole his heart from me. Do you think you are the only wealthy one here? We were supposed to take all of your money and elope together but because of your stupid body, you didn't allow it to happen. How could you be so selfish?" Ashley finally understood where everything was coming from. "I never asked for it. Everything that is happening. I never asked for it. I thought you are my best friend. How could you do this to me?" "I was never your friend, Ashley. You are too wealthy to be my friend. Who do you think was behind the illness that had been happening to you? Of course, I am the one. I was the one who injected the drug in your drink and you stupidly fell into my trap. Sex addict!" Olivia said as she bursts into laughter. Ashley was dumbfounded and didn'

Chapter 138WRITER'S POVLucille sat down on the couch in the foyer as she sipped her coffee slowly. She read through her social media account and saw pictures of Aryan surfacing on the internet. She called the maids but none of them answered her. She was furious and decided to get up and check what they were all doing. On getting to the kitchen, she saw them all cornered up scrolling, smiling, laughing, and drooling. She wondered what they were all looking at that made them not answer her call. She didn't make a sound as she moved closer to them and stood behind them. "So this what you have been looking at?" She asked with her tone harsh on them. They knew they were all in trouble. They shivered and quickly kept their phone. "What are you all looking at? Answer me! I am asking you all a question." She repeated. "We are very sorry ma'am.." One of the maids apologized but that doesn't make Lucille stop asking questions. "Give me that phone!"She ordered."Ma'am.""You don't want

Chapter 136ARYAN'S POV"How dare you? You used me! You made me do this with you just to spite me. How could you do this to me?" Ashley said and I smiled. I told her the truth. "What do you think? Do you think I will just accept that little kid as my daughter? Then go get a DNA test. If she matches to be my daughter then it's fine but if turned otherwise, you are in trouble with me.""I can't believe you. Isn't it obvious? You fucked me because you want revenge?""Doesn't it worth it? Didn't you enjoy it too?" I asked and she frowned. Why was she getting angry now? She loved it, doesn't she? She moaned for me and we both enjoyed it. To be very honest, I missed her taste. She tastes so fucking good. The face she makes when she cum and those curves of hers. "Shut up. Where is my daughter?" She asked. "She is up already," I told her and I don't even know why I became soft for her. I just wanted to treat her badly but I couldn't try it. I thought just one taste of her would allow me t
Chapter 135ASHLEY'S POVHis erection poked my butt and I suddenly got wet. Every touch of his drives me insane. He fanned his breath on the skin of my neck and that alone, made me wet more. But this just doesn't feel right. He has a mission he wants to carry out on me but I will never let that happen. He is angry at us. Angry at me. Who knows if he wants to kill me?I will never let that happen. "Stop it," I muttered. He didn't. He continued but the moment he cupped my breast was unbearable. Too unbearable for me and it is getting so hard for me to breathe. I moved away and I slapped him. He can't do that to me. I moved out of his hold and I turned to him. He had nothing but a blank expression. He stood motionless and I watched as his vein bobbed dangerously. What does he want from me? "I told you to stop but you won't even listen to me. I came here because you said you wanted to talk. But look? You are harassing me." I said thinking he would say something but he said nothing.
Chapter 134ARYAN'S POVIt's time to get my revenge on her. Sweet revenge. I am going to ruin her till no point of return. But right now, I crave nothing but her body. It's been so long since I have touched her and now, it seems like forever. I don't care if Lucas had touched her for seven years while I was away. She used me and seduced me then so now, I am ready to return the favor. To get down with her and ruin her with no feelings attached. She wants me to hear her out right? Is that what she wants? Then I will give it to her. I had purposely texted her to come to my house. Tonight will be the best night of my life. It's already past six in the evening. I hope she won't bring the little girl along but I was disappointed when she came with her but that doesn't stop me from going through with my plans. I have planned to frustrate and torture her till she submits to me. I want her to be submissive to me. "Good evening sir." The little girl waved to me. "Good Evening," I replied
Chapter 133Writer's POV"Boss, we have a problem. Collins and co had already terminated our contract with them. They don't want us to work with us anymore." Lucas's secretary announced to Lucas. Lucas sprang up from his seat. "What did you say?" He shouted. Just then another lady rushed in with another guy. This time Lucas couldn't take it anymore. He paced around wondering why everything seemed to be falling apart in one day. "What is it? Fucking speak up!" He shouted at the top of his voice. The employees trembled on the spot feeling the tension booming in. They knew everything was falling apart. "I...I don't know.""What the fuck do you mean you don't know? You know. Speak up. What happened? Why did you rush in?""Three of our containers got burnt to ashes." The lady said shakily. "The yacht bringing in our wine products had sunk." The guy announced. Lucas didn't get himself anymore. It was then Olivia entered with joy and she stopped when she saw their faces gloomy. She mov
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
