Percy sat in her office, anxiously checking the time. Her heart pounded in her chest; she was about to come clean to Ashton, and she knew the outcome might not be in her favor. Finally, the message arrived. Ashton had texted her that he was at the nearest café—the one closest to his office—and asked her to meet him there. Quickly adjusting her makeup, she grabbed her bag and left. Meanwhile, Sarah was still at Ashton’s company, waiting as he had instructed. At the café, Ashton found a quiet corner seat and sat down. When Percy entered, she spotted him immediately and hurried over, sitting across from him. "Coffee?" he asked, his voice neutral. She shook her head, her expression tense. "No, I just… I need to tell you something. It’s important." "Okay, I’m listening." She took a deep breath, but before she could speak, tears welled up in her eyes and spilled down her cheeks. "Are you alright?" Ashton asked, his brow furrowing. "What’s going on?" Percy wiped her tears
After leaving Christy and her father, Alex felt an overwhelming sense of relief, as if a tremendous burden had finally been lifted from his shoulders. He wanted to see Angel but mulled over how best to approach the situation. A smile crept onto his face as he came up with an idea. He called the judge handling her divorce case, who, coincidentally, was a friend of his and had helped expedite the process at Alex's request. During their conversation, Alex learned that Angel’s divorce had already been finalized. All that remained was for her to collect the official documents from the judge. "Please make sure she’s informed to pick them up immediately," Alex urged the judge, who assured him that Angel’s lawyer would be contacted right away. With that settled, Alex prepared himself and drove to the court. He parked a short distance away, choosing a discreet spot where Angel wouldn’t notice him. From his hidden vantage point, he waited. Meanwhile, Angel, having just received the l
After leaving Ashton's company, Sarah returned to his house and quietly entered the guest room he had given her.She silently began packing the bag she had brought earlier that day, fully aware that now that Percy had come clean, there was no reason to stay in Ashton's home or continue pretending to be his girlfriend.She chuckled softly to herself. "Funny. I just moved in, and now I'm leaving already. I thought I'd have more time with him… but I guess not."Once she finished packing, she placed the bag in the living room, then decided to do something kind as a way to say thank you and goodbye. Heading to the kitchen, Sarah prepared a delicious meal, uncorked a bottle of wine from his collection, and set the table elegantly with glasses.Afterward, she changed into a stunning, alluring dress and carefully applied makeup, waiting for him in the living room.It wasn’t long before Ashton came home. After leaving Percy earlier, he had driven far away to find a quiet spot to be alone. He h
After Alex drove away, Angel sat in her car, her mind racing with a whirlwind of thoughts. She couldn't shake the nagging doubt creeping into her heart. "Did Alex really mean everything he said?" she wondered, staring blankly at the dashboard. Despite the excitement she felt from his words, there was still an unsettling feeling of uncertainty gnawing at her. She was happy that Alex had assured her everything would be fine, but the lingering worries about Christy and her family weighed heavily on her mind. "Did Alex really take care of them?" she questioned silently. As much as she wanted to believe him, there was a part of her that feared for his future. She couldn’t help but feel responsible. What if Alex ended up losing everything because of her? The thought of that happening made her feel sick with guilt. But then again, Alex had insisted that things wouldn’t go wrong. He had been so sure, so confident. Could she trust him? "Can I really be with the man I love?" The very idea bro
After finishing up at the company, Alex started making his way home. Meanwhile, Angel stood by her window, anxiously watching for any sign of him. She had so much to say and her heart was racing with the desire to finally pour it all out. In Alex's mind, he was thinking deeply. "I’ll give Angel all the time she needs," he thought. "She’s always said I rush things, that I don’t think about her feelings enough. But this time, I’ll do it differently. Now that we finally have this chance to be together, I’ll take it slow. I won’t pressure her. I’ll give her space to feel safe, to be sure she wants this. At most, I’ll wait two days for her to settle down. After that… well, I won’t hold back. No matter what she says." Angel had been standing by her window for over twenty minutes now. Feeling frustrated, she decided that if the sun set before Alex showed up, she’d just call him and ask to meet up. But just as she was about to give up, she spotted his car driving past. Her heart leaped. S
Sarah closed her eyes, as Ashton kissed her but suddenly he pulled away and took a step back. He swallowed as her eyes opened and gazed into his. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I came here to...." "It's okay," she shut him up as she took a step forward and cupped his force. Joining their lips again, she kissed him passionately. Ashton's pulse raced as he felt a rush of emotions. It had been years since he'd been with a woman, and all his suppressed desires suddenly came rushing out. As they kissed with their hands all over each other, they made their way toward Sarah's bed. With her back on it, Ashton showered her body with kisses, from her wrists, to her neck, her ears and finally back to her lips. She gasped when he began going all the way down. His hands caressed her breasts through the fabric of her lingerie and she bit her lips as her nipples hardened. In no time, he had gotten rid of the lingerie covering her body as well as his clothes. His length was hard and erect
When Percy woke up that morning, the first thing she did was check her phone, and there it was—the message from Ashton that had arrived during the night. As her eyes scanned through it, a small smile crept across her face. "This is so much better," she whispered to herself. "If I'm no longer his employee, it'll be easier for him to see me as more than just a colleague—maybe even as a potential life partner." Percy had already made up her mind. She wasn’t going to continue working under Ashton. She was done pretending to be the poor girl, the one who had nothing, when in reality, she was anything but. Working for someone else and taking orders had become unbearable. She was used to giving commands, not following them. With renewed energy and a sense of purpose, she got up, preparing herself for the day ahead. "At the end of the day," she muttered to herself, "I was the one who came clean to Ashton. Sarah’s been deceiving him this whole time, but I was honest. I bared my soul to
Ashton stepped out of Sarah's car, feeling the warmth of their recent conversation linger in the cool air. He stood there for a moment, waving as she smiled at him from behind the wheel, her eyes filled with affection. She started the car and slowly drove away, the hum of the engine fading as she disappeared down the street. Ashton sighed contentedly, turning towards the entrance of his company, but as soon as he did, a familiar figure caught his eye.It was Percy.Surprised, Ashton furrowed his brows. "Percy? What are you doing here?" His voice held an edge of discomfort.Percy's gaze was intense as she stepped forward. "I saw you," she said, her voice tight with emotion. "I saw you kissing Sarah."Ashton blinked, caught off guard by her bluntness. Before he could respond, Percy continued, her tone rising with hurt and frustration. "Why, Ashton? How can you still be with her after everything she did? She lied to you! She deceived you into thinking she was something she's not, preten
