ASH THUNDER DON'T GET CAUGHT
Chapter 94"And so accounting is really getting quite interesting, thanks to tutorials and-"I'm finding it difficult to listen to what Clarissa is saying because the feeling of being watched is back. I flick my eyes around the cafe nervously. There are two girls in front of us chatting amongst themselves, and to my right is a middle-aged man drinking some beverage and reading the newspaper.The only other person is sitting in the left corner and he's on the phone arguing with someone from the way he keeps gesticulating. None of these people look harmless, and neither do any of them look like they're watching me, but you never know."ALICIA!"I blink repeatedly and turn my attention back to Clarissa whose face is scrunched up in anger. She's got that hard glint in her eyes and her left eye has begun to twitch.Uh! Oh! Shit's about to hit the fan now, for sure."I'm really sorry, Clar, I'm just out of it now,"
ASH THUNDER CALL THE POLICE
Chapter 95Fear floods my veins and makes that damn tightening in my chest act up. I sink from my chair onto the floor, unable to do anything, see anything. All that keeps playing through my mind like a loop are those words.Don't fall down the rabbit hole.I stare at my phone still gripped tightly in my hand and at the words. They mock me, laugh at me, and I just can't take it anymore. Anger rips through me, and through the pain, I decide once and for all not to be afraid anymore. I've gone through a life-altering situation. I've killed to stay alive also and I've lost someone precious to me.What's one more problem that I can't surmount?I will get through this just like I went through the others. With that knowledge ringing in my head, I pick myself up and dust my clothes off before sitting back at my desk, but not before I delete the message from Ash. I wade through the remaining pile of files on my desk e
ASH THUNDER SCORNED WOMAN?
Chapter 96"Go ahead - call them," Ash says bringing something out of his pocket. At first, I think it's a gun, but when he brings out a phone, I'm trying to understand what he's up to. "Here! You can even use my phone."I look at the phone in his outstretched hand as if it's a snake before looking back at his face and raising my forefinger. "Get out of here now. This is your last warning!"My hands shake from how much rage is coursing through me. Is this guy bipolar? Why can't he just get the message and leave me the fuck alone?As if he hears my unspoken words, he stands and shakes his head sorrowfully. "I'm afraid I can't do that."He's like a panther as he saunters towards me, sleek and handsome, nailing me with his eyes and rooting me to the spot. I can't think. I can't move. I can't focus on anything but his intense liquid brown eyes. I can see his tall lithe frame as he crowds my senses. He moves dangerou
ASH THUNDER THE CAMORRA
Chapter 97 ASH"The woman in question. . . is my wife."Immediately I say those damming words, I release her hands and step back. I can't look at her, I just fucking can't. I can't change this already awkward situation I've gotten myself into but I know how this must sound to her.Bad.Very bad.It's like rubbing salt into an injury and hoping it'll get better.Not fucking going to happen.I claw a hand through my hair as I begin to pace. "You don't understand," I say more to myself than to her, as if by saying that will magically make things alright. "I didn't have a choice, I had to marry her."Fuck it, I sound like a damn pussy.I hear a choking noise and when I brave a glance at her, one of her hands is at her throat. She looks like she can't breathe. I take two steps toward her, but she holds up a hand in the air and I freeze in my tracks.Fucking dummy.Of course, she doesn't want me anywhere near her
ASH THUNDER BREAKING OUT
Chapter 98The look of betrayal on her face will forever remain with me till I die. Unfortunately, it's misplaced."I see where this is going." She wrenches her hands that I'd somehow managed to take hold of and stands. "You married her for the power. Of course. . . " she lets out a crazy cackle. "Poor Alicia had nothing to offer so why waste your time and energy on her when you can do better." She shakes her head and points a finger at me. "I'm so daft for falling for your lies, but not anymore." She shakes her head once more. "Not any fucking more." She walks to the door and opens it. "Get out!"I know she's shut down now and anything else I'm going to say will fall on deaf ears. This is not the way I thought this would go but I should have known. She's stubborn, I reason, but any other person would think the same way she is. That's why I understand and stand up, nodding to myself.I walk to the door and s
ASH THUNDER LISTEN UP
Chap[ter 99It takes me a while to open my eyes because they're heavy, but when I do, I'm rewarded with darkness.My heart hammers in my chest as I try to sit up but there seems to be a log of wood lying on my stomach. I blink repeatedly, trying to clear away the cobwebs from my head as I look around. Indiscernible shapes loom in the darkness and my heart beats even harder. I take measured breaths and squint into the darkness.Yes - I can see a couch and floor-to-ceiling curtains.My eyes continue to scan the length and breadth of the room trying to understand why I'm not in my own room. It all comes flooding back into my consciousness like an electrical jolt.Clarissa tricked me.The lying bitch said she wanted to take me somewhere special, just us two for a girl's night out. I dressed up. I even bought a dress for crying out loud. She did my makeup, the treacherous wench, and then I was ushered- more like- b
ASH THUNDER EATING DUST
Chapter 100"When I said I wanted to get back with my best friend, this was definitely the last thing on my mind, Lis."Clarissa looks at herself in the mirror and blanches. I've got to say being a black-haired girl isn't her color. And the skirt - my skirt - makes her look like she's wearing a sack."Liiiiiiiiis, I look like a degenerate scarecrow. If you put me in a field to scare birds away, I'm pretty sure they'll never even circle within the area ever again to talk more of the field."I sputter out a laugh because I don't know where she gets her thoughts from. "Well, you kind of look funny.""Kind of?" She shrieks. "I look awful, like a fucking burlap sack."This time, I can't hold it in any longer. I throw my head back and cackle long and hard until tears stream out from my eyes, and no doubt, ruin my makeup. When I'm done, I shake my head, still sputtering out a few laughs. There's a soft smile on Clar
ASH THUNDER CONSEQUENCES
Chapter 101It takes me a few seconds to realize I'm swaying - not like a pendulum - but it's a movement not caused by me.It takes me another few seconds to realize I'm unable to move my limbs- what the fuck?It takes me yet another minute to notice everywhere is dark and that I'm blindfolded. That's when the stark realization hits me in the chest -Not again. . .I've been kidnapped.I begin to thrash against the bindings holding my hands hostage at my back and those at my legs. My only joy is that my mouth is not bound, so I open it and scream, but even that is fleeting when I feel the solid nudge of something against my temple.It's a gun. It has to be a gun."One more word out of your pretty mouth and I'll pump lead into your head. Nod if you understand me."I nod immediately and a small sense of relief flits through me when the weight of the gun against my head is removed. I close my eyes, even though I'v
