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
ASH THUNDER 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 THUNDER 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 THUNDER 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 THUNDER 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
