ASH THUNDER NOT THE WAY I EXPECTED
Chapter 59 "Why are there so many guards? It's like we can't move an inch without one popping up to ask you where you're going." Clarissa laments as we step through the gate. I can sense the annoyance coating her words. Heck - I'm annoyed as well. Wrong! I'm livid. But I get it. Ash is trying to keep me safe. That's fine, that doesn't mean I have to like it. I mean, I'm thankful and all that he cares, but I feel smothered. I'm still ruminating on this as we finally step through the gate when a cab stops directly in front of me. I thank my stars as I flag it down and enter. Clarissa looks behind her, and I wonder what she's thinking, and then it hits me. She's waiting for Night Eyes, or someone else, to come barging out and stop us. Unfortunately for her, that does not happen as she gets inside, her movements slow and sluggish. She situates herself in the front seat, and I think it's just as well because this way I will be left in peace with my thoughts. The cab drives fast, and b
ASH THUNDER LOOK-ALIKE?
Chapter 60Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to care, if I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to keep.Wrong prayer.If I die now, father in Heaven please accept my sou-No, no, no, lord, please, no, I don't wanna die, at least not just yet.A shot rings out, and I crank an eye open. I don't feel any pain, still, I open my second eye and pat my body down checking for a wound or even blood. Relief pours through me when I don't find any, but as I look up, shock spirals through me when I see two men squaring off, guns pointed at each other.I wonder if, maybe it's a trick of the light or the dizziness assailing me, but after a few seconds of staring aghast at the scene before me, I confirm it - There are indeed two men.Ash is standing like a white knight in shining armor opposite the man I can now clearly see is not just a look- alike but his split image. Different clothes but s
ASH THUNDER EVERYTHING. . . BUT, A COWARD
Chapter 61 "I'm pregnant!" My world tilts for some precious seconds, before righting itself. Pregnant. She's Pregnant. Pregnant. . . with a child. My child. How come? Unfortunately, my brain isn't able to comprehend what she just said. "What did you just say?" Tears slide down her eyes and her shoulders hunch forward like she's carrying the weight of the world on them. I wish I can hold her in my arms and tell her everything will be fine but my brain - it's refusing to boot. "How. . . is that possible?" The words are out before I know it but I instantly regret it when I see her reaction. Her eyes spit fire, and her shoulders that were hunched arch backward. She cocks a brow as she stares at me with pure hatred. "What do you mean how is that possible? It was made possible when you inserted your dick inside of my vagina wayyy too many times to count, so don't just stand there and act shocked, 'cause the baby I'm carrying, is yours." I blink, severally, because she's never rai
ASH THUNDER HORMONES SUCK
Chapter 62 Pregnancy hormones stink. Nah! Actually, they hurt. It's like a brain reset took place while you were asleep, and when next you wake, you realize something inside of you changed - and not necessarily for the better - making you act out. And then you begin to say and do things, totally out of character for you, making your boyfriend wonder if you're indeed the same person he's been sleeping on the same bed with. But within the folds of your heart muscles, you know this is the time for you to misbehave and get away with words you ordinarily wouldn't have been able to speak, even in your wildest dreams. Goodness knows I love Ash to death, but right now he's driving me crazy, treating me like I'm a fragile doll that should not be broken. "Just . . . put the food on the table and stop fussing around me." He straightens, turns and I'm able to see surprise etched all over his face. He rolls his eyes, actually rolls them, and releases a sigh. "Here I am trying to make you mo
ASH THUNDER SHAMPOO, MUCH?
Chapter 63You would think that after two weeks of learning how to drive, I would have gotten the basics. . . at least.As I screech to a halt in front of the supermarket, the bumper hits the curb, and the car - the poor car - bounces back, almost hitting another incoming car behind. I realize out of probably ten women, I take the cake for dumb, clumsy driving, because who drives with a pillow underneath them and glues their body to the steering wheel to better see where she's going?No big guess there.Another car cuts in front of me, effectively boxing me, and blocking the shiny new Passat - a car Ash gifted me with when he confirmed I was indeed having his - our - child. We"d both gone to the automobile show where new cars were being exhibited.He wanted to pick the newest, biggest, most-expensive truck they had, because, in his own words - my Queen and Princess have to ride in style - but I hadn't wanted showy
ASH THUNDER FACE-IMPOSTOR
Chapter 64The moment our eyes clash, I realize there are worse things in life than death.It's the hereafter. . .The fear of hell.Staring into the eyes of Ash's look-alike is like gazing into the depths of hell. It's cold as ice, yet devoid of warmth. It's scorching as a furnace.As I said, it's hell.He's a hairs breath away from me now. I watch as the smirk slides off his face and I can almost imagine it's another person standing before me, another pair of eyes pinning me with his gaze as he stares down at me with warmth and tenderness, his mouth parted open, ready to bestow a kiss on me, that is. . . until his hand curl around my elbow, and his fingers dig into my skin."Move!"That one command shatters all my fantasies and unfreezes my frozen limbs. He drags me away - a predator and his unwilling prey. A hunter and his almost-lamb. Tears sting my eyes as I realize what will befall me, what is going to be
ASH THUNDER SHOWTIME - I
Chapter 65 "Stay still, Lis, your hair isn't going to fix itself." Clarissa pulls - hard - at strands of my hair but I don't feel it, all I want to do is sit and stare. "I'm just coming from downstairs, and you need to see all the men. They all look so handsome and dashing. Ash knows people, huh." There's a pause and another tug before she continues speaking. "Fancy hosting a party for senators and I'm invited - yippee!" Her excited squeal is accompanied by yet another hard tug, but I remain mum. Without turning, I know her eyes have gotten that starry look in them whenever she talks about good-looking men. It's on the tip of my tongue to tell her not to act so excited in the presence of Night Eyes, but I honestly can't summon the words. She tugs at another strand and I know I'm going to have blisters on my scalp soon, but I don't care. Through the mirror, I dart my eyes to the China dish and feel my eyes fill with tears. Clarissa's hands fall away from my hair. "Liiiss, not today,
ASH THUNDER SHOWTIME - II
