ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 30: Call From Ex
There were some drinks inside the limo and Ashton's hand reached for the bottle of whiskey. He poured some into a glass and drank it. He gestured his eyes asking Ashley if she wanted some, but she shook her head. "I invited Samuel and Hana to our house tonight for dinner," he said, and then gulped the whiskey in one go. "You did?" Ashley responded rhetorically. They were quiet again, having nothing to talk about. Ashton still staring out of the car window, pondering over the things that happened at the clubhouse. He kept pouring himself the whiskey until it was the fifth glass. Ashley stopped him from pouring more. She had never seen him drunk before and she was scared to see him losing his conscience, so she stopped him before he did. If she was not there, he would probably be going to drink more because he felt like this was a day where he needed that. He tried to act like he was unbothered by what kind of relationship Ashley used to have with Karl. But it was really hard because

Karl whimpered even more. He had the back of his body resting over the edge of the bed while he sat on the floor. But now he felt his whole body trembling and getting fragile. In seconds, his body slowly fell to the floor, just lying there like a melted jelly. The floor got wet from his tears and the empty red wine bottle that he held was released, lying flat on the floor just like him. "I want you back... I want you back... Tell me how to fix this..." he whispered hoarsely to her through the phone. "You... can't... There's no way to fix this. We're really... over this time," Ashley found it hard for her to speak properly while holding her tears in. "I want you back..." Karl kept repeating those words to Ashley like an insane person. He just stared blankly towards nowhere while his hand gripped his phone hard as if that was the only way he could reach Ashley. Back then, when he decided to marry Lucia, he thought that maybe someday, Ashley would still come back to him, willing to b

Hana, along with her husband and their baby finally left the villa after bidding goodbye. Ashley still pondered over Hana's words in the living room even long after that woman had gone. She just sat there on the sofa alone while staring at the floor. Her husband had gone upstairs to take a quick shower and changed his shirt because the smell of barbeque stuck on him. 'Appreciate what you have,' that was the one that kept repeating on her mind like a broken record. She did not know how long she had been sitting there, but the lights in the living room were suddenly turned off by someone. "Are you going to sleep there?" Ashton's voice came from behind her. She turned her head around only to find him standing behind her, leaning his body closer and wrapping both his arms around her shoulders. "You smelt good," Ashley said softly, having her nose got pierced by the exquisite scent of the expensive body gel Ashton usually used. "And you smelt barbeque, I wanted to eat you," he replied h

He had married this woman for three months, yet he did not even know that she could not swim. He turned his head swiftly, looking at their pool with his gaze showing a worried expression."From today forward, you're banned from getting nearer to the pool. That was now a restricted area for you. Don't go there. You need to have a swimming class first," he firmly said to her, having his heart anxious now.His mind began to imagine her falling into the pool when no one was around and that thought scared him so much. 'What if she drowns? Gosh, drowning is such a horrible way to die.' That kind of what-if situation began to attack his mind and it suddenly got him feeling paranoid.Martha came to the dining table to refill their drinks and Ashton suddenly gave her some unnecessary extra task."Martha, from now on, you have to make sure my wife doesn't go near the pool, okay? She didn't know how to swim. She might fall in there and drown," Ashton said seriously and that made the servant stun

Ashton didn't care if she was not in her right mind right now. Maybe tomorrow she would probably forget all about it. But what he did care about was the fact that at this very moment, he was finally sure that he loved Ashley so much and that he couldn't imagine his life without her.A smile formed on her face and she wrapped her arms around his neck, clung herself to him and teasingly said to his ear, "I love you too...""My husband is so rich, handsome, kind-hearted and generous human being," she added fondly."That was a lot of adjectives for one person," he joshed."How about adding some more like loving, charming, gentle and irresistible too?" He played along with their witty conversation."That too... But I don't like seeing the other women being nice to you when you're being nice to me...""What's that supposed to mean?" He was confused and then glanced at her that now was just resting her head on his chest, closing her eyes as if talking while asleep."There were some models at

"I'm sorry. I know it's too late to say this. But I think we should break up," Karl Jackson said calmly while handing a wedding invitation card to Ashley White, his current girlfriend. They both just finished eating dinner at an outdoor restaurant."What? You're kidding, right?" Ashley took the card and scanned it. She looked back at Karl and that man only showed a serious gaze. She read the card again and saw the bride-to-be was Lucia Darcy, her nemesis since high school."Karl, you can't do this to me. We'd been together for five years now. How could you..." she stood up immediately and Karl stood up as well, trying to calm her down. There were a lot of people there and Karl did not want Ashley to make any ruckus."Since when?" She asked with a broken voice."I'd been seeing Lucia since five months ago...""And you decided to marry her? We'd been together for five years but you choose to marry someone you had just known for five months?!" She alm

Thirty minutes later, a black Lamborghini Aventador arrived in front of a three-story modern villa. Ashton Grey carried the woman he found at the bar before out of the car and into his house."Karl you scumbag!!!" She suddenly shouted and hit his chest a few times."Who the hell is Karl?! Why am I getting hit because of him?" He yelled back at her.He entered a lift and pushed the button to go to the third floor. There was no way he would carry that woman to the third floor using the stairs. In less than a minute, the lift doors were opened and he walked towards his bedroom immediately.Ashton carefully put that woman down on his bed. He took off her coat and her heels. Then, he went into the bathroom to change his clothes into sleepwear. The time showed ten minutes before twelve, Ashton went out of the bathroom again and was startled to see the woman on the bed sitting there silently and scanning the room."Oh gosh! My goodness! My heart almost dr

She could feel her heart was pounding hard when that man turned around again to face her. She knew what he meant, and honestly, she thought that he would be the best rebound she could find to piss off Karl on his wedding day. But it sounded so pathetic if she was to beg that man to help her. So, she pretended as if she didn't understand him instead.Ashton slowly approached her again and leaned his head closer to her."Let me be your husband, not just for his wedding day, but forever..." he whispered to her ear captivatingly that she couldn't help but gasped in disbelief.Then he straightened his body again and waited for her to respond while looking deeply into her eyes."But I just met you... I don't even know you...""I make roughly about one hundred billion dollars every year. You don't have to know me that much, I can assure you that you will have an easy life if you be my wife.""But why me? Why do you even want to help me?" She stared

ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 29: Karl's Family
He was well aware that all his family members pretty much still loved Ashley like she was part of the family. But she was now married to Ashton Grey. Karl did not want to offend that man in any way so he tried to hinder his mother from speaking with Ashley too much. "Why didn't you tell me that Ashley was coming? She should have sat with us in the front row before. She was part of the family," Lily reprimanded her son immediately. "Mom, she-" "How terrible were you to do this kind of thing to her. I helped raise her like my own daughter and now you just threw her away for a richer woman," Lily cut her son off. She was so disappointed that Karl did not end up with Ashley. "Mom, I-" "Shut it. Ashley, let's sit with us. The others will be so glad to see you again. You haven't come to our home for like months. We all had missed you very much, dear," Lily grabbed Ashley's wrist and tried to bring her to the table of Karl's family members. "Mom, don't..." "Aunt Lily, I can't..." Ash
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 28: Stop Thinking About Him
"I thought you were over him completely," Hana approached Ashley with two glasses of champagne in her hands. She gave one to Ashley. "Where's Sam?" Ashley asked and Hana pointed her finger at one corner of the hall showing Samuel was having a casual talk with Ashton again. "They both seem to get along quite well," Hana commented about their husbands. "You think so?" Ashley responded unconsciously and Hana nodded. The two were silent while watching the wedding couple dancing. After they both finished the champagne, they put down the glasses on the table and started chatting again. "Do you think what Ashton did back there was too much? Too harsh maybe?" Ashley brought up that topic. She wanted to hear what her close friend would think about it. "Can you even blame him? It was harsh a bit I guess, but I think if I were in his position, I would do the same too," Hana replied. "Why so?" "He might look fine, Ashley. But a husband is a husband after all. At one point, even though you
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 27: Losing His Patience
Having sensed that Ashton was picking on Lucia, Karl changed his target instantly and pleaded to Ashley instead."Ashley, please save my face. I can't have this important occasion cancel. My family would be embarrassed if that happens," Karl said beggingly. But Ashley looked away from him instantly and refused to get involved. She glanced at her husband and she could feel a domineering aura emerging from him again.Seeing Ashley ignoring him, Karl finally turned his body and looked at his wife with a mad expression. He could not believe that Ashley would give him a cold shoulder considering that they had known each other for so long and even used to have such a special relationship before. But his heart convinced him that it was his fault to begin with and maybe this was how karma worked on him."Apologize to them immediately," he ordered Lucia and that woman seemed reluctant again. But Karl grabbed her arm harshly and pushed her forward to face Ashton and Ashley.Lucia could feel as
ASHLEY or ASTRID Chapter 26: Clubhouse's Owner
"If five years with me could somehow mean nothing to him now, what makes you think that he would value a five years marriage with you? I really hope you pass the five years of marriage crisis you going to have with him later. And if you did happen to pass it, then I'll congratulate you once again for your marriage," Ashley ended Lucia smoothly."That's it! You need to leave," Lucia was really pissed off by Ashley's words. She did not know how to retort to it, so she took the easiest way to solve it, by trying to get rid of Ashley and her partner from the wedding event."Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Ashton remarked calmly, ignoring the glare Lucia gave him. Instead, he just stroked Ashley's hair lovingly and only had his eyes focused on her."Excuse me? This is my wedding, I rent the whole clubhouse for me to enjoy my big day. I would never compromise your disrespectful behaviour towards me and my husband on our big day. This is unacceptable. How shameful of you to be stubb
