ASH THUNDERΒ Β Β BLAST FROM THE PAST
Chapter 43"Ash! Ash, please open your eyes, you're safe now."From far away I hear my name being called.This is it.Judgment day has come for me.I already know it. I'm going to hell."Ash! Open your eyes now, please. Come back to me."Those words smack of female desperation.Would an angel tell me to open my eyes and come back to her?"So. . . .maybe I'm not dead.Maybe.It takes grave determination and grit before I'm finally able to pry my eyes open, although they feel like bricks are weighing them down.That's not the only hurdle I have to face.My vision is blurred, but after blinking like it's going out of fashion, I make out a form standing over me."Ash!"That same voice calls out my name once more. A woman's voice.I blink once again and a face comes into view. Long blonde hair and blue eyes are the first things I take in. Recognition sweeps through me and I rear back, shock making my body tense."Bell?"

Chapter 44All through the ride to my place, I urge the driver to speed up. I've been dispossessed of my phone by, probably Guilang's men, so I'm running blind here. Maybelline's words about Alicia, play on repeat in my mind."Fucking hurry up, man." I growl at him for what seems like the umpteenth time.The man ignores me altogether, but I feel his watchful eyes on me through the rear view mirror. In all fairness to him, he speeds up, and in no time, he's swinging into the familiar residence of my street. Even before he stops in front of my gate, I'm opening the door and vaulting out."Hey, man, you haven't paid me!" The Uber guy's voice is like a whip crack stopping me in my tracks.I dig into my pocket but come up empty. Reluctantly, I turn to look at him. "Hold on, I'll send someone to you."As I step through the gate, two of my guards slink out from the grove of trees. The joy and relief on their faces make

Chapter 45Something is wrong.I can feel it.My body can testify to it.Bile rises to my throat and I know a second round of vomit is on its way. I won't allow it take me by surprise this time around.I vault up and rush to the bathroom, and just in time too, because the moment my head is bent over the toilet bowl, it all comes gushing out. The remains of my dinner last night, or whatever the first round of vomit didn't bring out. After a few minutes, when it's obvious my stomach is a bit settled, I stagger to the tap and splash some water on my face. The coolness of it helps to reduce the quiziness I'm feeling. After splashing a little more onto my face, I feel a shade better, and even manage to walk without stumbling back into the bedroom.What did I eat last night?I close my eyes as I try to recall. Ash took me to Parched for the night, to celebrate Chucho's passing.Actually, his murder.When Ash told m

Chapter 46Sixteen years ago.Bonde hair cascades onto her neck and falls across her graceful shoulders. I look into blue eyes that are heavy with passion and want. Her lips are already swollen from my ministrations, and her body is naked and wantonly displayed under me. Seeing all this ignites the sensual lust in me. She wraps her hand around my neck and draws me even closer to take another sip from her lips. I can't get enough as I bend forward and drink to my heart's content.My hands pave a hot pathway down her body and land in between her laps where I know she's already wet and ready to be taken. She stiffens against my hand inching into her wet folds and I look into her eyes questioningly."I need to tell you something."She knows talking is the last thing on my mind, but I remove my hand from in between her laps, anyway, and lie on my back. I put a bit of space in between us so I can concentrate on what

Chapter 47I dip hazel eyes in a low arc and watch as her eyes flutter close and her long lashes rest on her cheeks. It takes only a second and I'm lifting her back up and into my arms. A flush settles on her cheeks and a smile coils her lips as her gaze settles on me."Where did you learn to dance this way?" She's watching me like I'm an interesting specimen.I chuckle before answering. "I go to a lot of these stuffy parties, unfortunately."She throws her head back and lets out a tinkling laugh, affording me a view of her long slender neck. "Stuffy?" She shakes her head. "This party is delightful, I've never been around so many important people before."My eyes stray to the senators chatting amongst themselves before my gaze once more settles on her. "Well, then, I'll make sure to bring you to more of them."My words must really affect her because her eyes glimmer with excitement, and her hands tighten around

Chapter 48With Hazel eyes hand tightly ensconced in mine, we head straight to my office where the recording machine has already been laid out on the table. Koldis and Moro who set it all up are already there waiting for me."Any news yet?" I take a seat behind my desk and drag hazel eyes onto my laps.Koldis shakes his head and puts his hand on his lips, a signal for me to keep quiet as he increases the volume. Igor's voice fills my office, making me marvel at technology and it's uses.My eyes become glued to the recording machine on the table. Raunchy noises escape through the speakers and I don't need a crystal ball to know Igor is having a damn orgy. The voices of other men I recognize as his brothers, fill the room. Disappointment spears me when I realize they're speaking in Russian.I let out a growl. "Get a damn interpreter now!""He's on his way." Koldis informs me.Anger sizzles through me. I know they're o
Last Updated : 2023-02-01ASH THUNDERΒ Β Β COINCIDENCE OR CONJECTURE?
Chapter 49I stare at my most-trusted men.Now, five of them.They're standing and watching me warily, probably wondering why I had them assembled here on such short notice. I practically pulled them out from important tasks they were working on.I don't regret it.Around the wariness on their faces are hints of excitement brimming at the edges. I know they'll give their lives for me in a heart beat but that's not why they're working for me. These men live for the excitement, they live on the edge of danger. They live for the danger of the chase, because that's what my business is all about. Chasing people who present a threat to me, and by extension, to them as well."Something the matter, Ash?" Night eyes, asks.Hazel eyes chooses to walk in at that moment, and her mouth immediately rounds into an o. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were having a meeting, I'll just-""Please, come inside, you are part of the reason I cal

Chapter 50Happy shouts echo all around me as Clarissa and ten of her ex high school classmates bounce around a ball. Truth be told, it looks like the ball is bouncing around them instead. They're all a sweaty mess. I can't even call it football anymore, it's more like bodyball, with the way Clarissa keeps tripping and falling, bringing a new meaning to the art of playing football.The others are doing good, but she - just no.Luckily, no one else in the vast field has taken an interest in what they're doing as they're fully engrossed in their own brand of sports. Why I decided to follow them in the first place, beats me, especially as all I've been doing is sitting and watching as I silently bad mouth them - actually - Clarissa.It's a wonder I was able to leave the house, what with this latest threat to Ash. I had to plead with him like it was going out of fashion so he could allow me leave. Luckily, he event

ASH THUNDERΒ Β Β FOREVER
Chapter 108"Fuuuuck! Must you place this shit around my neck so tightly?" I ask Night eyes with a frown.Night Eyes rolls his eyes but doesn't say anything except to tighten the tie around my neck like a damn noose. He says I've been acting like a prissy bitch since I woke up this morning and realized it's the D-day. My six trusted men, now my groomsmen, are sitting around dressed up in white tuxedos drinking champagne while I'm sweating buckets inside this suit that's more like a straight jacket than any other thing."Will you get your feet off my precious table, Moro?" I say, tugging on my collar as I eye him from the corner of my eyes.He just smirks and continues sipping on his drink like I didn't just give him an order."Ouch, fuck! What the-? Will you take it easy? My neck's not a damn concrete, Night eyes.""Quit bitching, Ash, anyone hearing you would think you're not dying to get married to Alicia,
ASH THUNDERΒ Β Β THE MAFIA PRINCESS
Chapter 107 The ride is fraught with tense silence and not even Ash's hand in mind does anything to alleviate the tightness in my chest and the dryness in my mouth. I'm freaking the fuck out. He keeps rubbing circles on my open palm with his thumb trying to soothe me but it's pointless. Getting to the meeting place doesn't take long because there's not much traffic. I look up at the large white building as Ash drives into the driveway and my eyes immediately home onto the bold signboard displayed on the front of the building in red capital letters that reads - THE CAMORRA. "You've gotta be kidding me!" Ash chuckles. "I told you they rule everything in Italy so don't be surprised about that." "I understand that, but they kill, and steal, and-" "Ah, ah, ah! Don't say that to anyone here, Hazel eyes, they rule everything, yes. . ." He nods. "Even the police, so hanging up a big old signboard isn't going to make it less real." My heart sinks, because what he just said is even worse
ASH THUNDERΒ Β Β THE CAMORRA
Chapter 106 When I wake, it's still dark outside and there's no one on the bed beside me. I sit up as panic begins to claw its way inside my chest but when I hear the shower going, I know what happened last night was real and Tanya is alive. Even though I haven't gotten much sleep, I feel energized. I feel happy.We're going to have to face them tomorrow.My heart plummets when I remember Ash's words from the night before. He sat me down and told me there would be reprisals and that I needed to get prepared for whatever the five dons that run the Canmora will do. He was a bit evasive about what the reprisals were but I don't need to be a rocket scientist to know it has to do with shedding blood.I'm petrified as his words wash through me but as soon as the door to the bathroom opens, I shake it off and paste on a smile as Tanya comes back inside the room. Her blonde hair is wet and longer than I've ever see
ASH THUNDERΒ Β Β FLESH & BLOOD
Chapter 106The ghost of Tanya doesn't float toward me as I initially thought, she walks toward me instead, smiling mischievously exactly the same way Tanya used to when she was alive. I blink repeatedly but she's still there, still smiling, and still looking at me."T.... Tanya?" I say once again, noting the tremor in my voice.Tanya's ghost smiles wider. "Hi, sis."Instead of fainting, as most women would, I let out a piercing scream loud enough to wake the dead. A hand snakes around my waist and it takes a few seconds for me to realize Ash is speaking to me.". . . relax, it's alright, please."I focus on his face as his words finally break through my consciousness. "Is. . ." I lick my dry lips. "Is her ghost still there?""I'm right here, sis." Tanya's ghost says from right behind me.This time, I'm not able to take it as the cold hands of oblivion wrap around me and enfold me in their arms.*". . . going
ASH THUNDERΒ Β Β GHOST OF THE PAST
Chapte 105 Ever since I was kidnapped, I had slept fitfully, always keeping an eye open for when Rita and her minions would come to torment me. Not that it would stop her - no, but at least I would be somewhat ready. Now that I'm free, I feel a sense of peace steal through me as the hum of the car engine wraps around me. Soon, I few my eyes close as the movement of the car lulls me into a deep sleep. I don't know what wakes me up but the car has stopped and Ash is coming down. I blink repeatedly to remove the vestiges of sleep still clinging to my eyes and cloudy head before I come down from the car and look around. What I see in front of me gives me pause for thought. It's a plane. Ash is standing in front of it shaking a man's hand as he nods to something he's saying. He turns to me and beckons for me to come over. My legs feel a little wobbly from being cramped up in the same position for goodness knows how long but I manage to walk over without falling. Ash introduces me to the
ASH THUNDERΒ Β Β ESCAPE FROM HELL
Chapter 104Ash carries me up the stairs and doesn't let go, even when I tell him I'm okay and can walk, still he doesn't allow my feet to touch the ground. I try to tell him that carrying me - bridal style - will only slow us down but he's not having it.He's fast on his feet, I must admit but that niggling fear is sitting pretty on my chest once again and not allowing me to breathe well. As soon as we get up the stairs and into a hallway, he slows down and looks left and right. His eyes have gone keen and sharp and I don't need to be told we're both in danger. If they see him carrying me out of here, we're both dead.At least I will be.The scorned woman will forgive Ash. . . maybe.I watch his face as he watches the surrounding before moving stealthily. I feel his muscles flex and bunch as he carries me. His strides eat up the floor as he moves toward a door at the far end. I slide my eyes from his face an
ASH THUNDERΒ Β Β OF PRETENCE & TRUTH
Chapter 103I don't know how long I've been kept in this basement. I can't really say for certain, but what I do know is that I've been tortured with icy water that was dunked on me. I've been slapped around and beaten within an inch of my life. I've almost been raped but the scorned woman said she didn't want any of her men to touch me so I could be tight enough for all the men I would get to sleep with at the brothel I will be taken to eventually.The funny thing is, with every taunting word, every action, and every little thing I go through, I grow more hardened, more determined to live. If this is how people are reborn into criminals, then I'm going to be a living example and I'm not backing down. The scorned woman comes to see me every day expecting me to grovel and beg for freedom as well as for my life, but when she sees the blazing fire in my eyes and the determination, it only drives her around the
ASH THUNDERΒ Β Β A SHUFFLE OF CARDS
Chapter 102"She did WHAT?" My voice screeches on the last word and it's all I can do not to throw a hissy fit.Fuuuuuck!"I warned her! I told her about the danger of leaving this house. Does she even know what will happen to her if Dominatrix gets her hands on her?"Clarissa is practically wilting at my outburst. I know I shouldn't take it out on her but it was her responsibility to try to keep Hazel eyes here at home, where she belongs."Tell me once again what happened and don't even leave anything out." I sit on the bed and listen as Clarissa stammers her way through."We. . . I m. . . m. . . mean she-"Someone bursts into the room without knocking and I don't need a crystal ball to let me know it's Night Eyes. He must have been informed by Hilda about my roaring 'cause that's all I've been doing ever since I came home an hour ago. It's fucking two in the morning and Hazel eyes isn't at home. I had to he
ASH THUNDERΒ Β Β 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
