Ashley's Revenge Chapter Nine
The hall was filled with people glamorously dressed. Rich organ music filtered through the air, blending smoothly with the light chatters and laughters of the guests. Waiters moved around holding flat trays sitting flute glasses filled with champagne. A buffet table generously adorned with various meals sat at an accessible corner of the hall. Mr and Mrs Leon stood amidst a small group laughing over small talks. “Where are you going?” Mr Leon whispered to his wife who had just excused herself. “Bruce and Rachel are not here.” She explained, a bit of angst laced her voice. “Are you going to bring them from their home?” Mr Leon asked. He didn't try to veneer the sarcasm in his tone. “No. I'm just going to call them. The chairman is about to get on the stage. What will happen if Bruce is called and he is not here?” “Relax woman! They are already on their way.” Mr Leon said sternly to his wife. “Allow them be.” “Oh, Mrs Fox is here. I'll just ask her instead.” “Bruce and Rachel ar

“I'm so sorry. I ruined the evening.” Ashley apologized in a small voice as DJ joined her in the car.Her hand massaged her throbbing temples. She had wanted to be away from the house. She was trying to avoid Paul. That's why she wanted to go with DJ to this event.It was a glamorous event, beautifully prepared, but Ashley couldn't stay. Too many people and too noisy for her. Not what she needed.At this point in her life, everything triggered her headache. She thought she could manage it through the evening, but it only kept growing worse and she had to tell DJ.DJ settled into the driver's seat and buckled his seatbelt.“You didn't ruin anything.” He reassured her.He didn't appreciate the fact that she suddenly felt dizzy at the event, but he was grateful to be out of there sooner than supposed.He felt suffocating there. Ordinarily, DJ would never have attended the event, but because Ashley had requested, and Dr Tony had said not to do anything that would force her to trigger.DJ

The drive back afterwards was quiet. Each one was consumed in his own thoughts.DJ absorbed himself with the thoughts of the softness of Ashley's lips, recalling how it felt to kiss her, holding her as close as he did. He wanted to do it again and maybe take things a little further but he knew better. She wasn't ready. He has to take things slow.Ashley on the other hand couldn't stop questioning herself, asking if she had done the right thing by letting him kiss her.She didn't want to lead him into believing something that isn't real. She still didn't know if she loved him in her past life and she definitely didn't know if she loved him now.He had said he loved her and that's why he's sticking with her, helping her to remember what living was. But she had questions, doubts.DJ was incomparable, too good to be true. Was it only love that kept him with her? Was there something else? Some other reason that she didn't know?“How are you feeling now?” DJ's voice filtered through her t

“You're spending quite a lot of time with that boyfriend of yours.” Paul taunted Ashley. “Where did you two go?”She had just placed a foot at the foot of the stairs and wasn't expecting anyone to appear behind her.Slowly, she turned to meet Paul. “We attended an event.” Within her, she couldn't understand why she was suddenly explaining to Paul.“You don't remember me, but you remember him. And you expect me to believe that you're not faking all of this?” Paul's words seemed to be coming from a place of hurt and pain in his heart and Ashley couldn't help but feel pity for him. He sounded so certain about his claims and she didn't know what to believe.Like DJ, did he also love her? Or was their supposed relationship just to pass time? What kind of games had she been playing in her past life? And for what reason?“Ashley.” Paul called and moved closer to her. His earnest gaze rested on her. “Are you still mad at me over our last fight? Is that what this is about? I already told yo

“Have you been getting enough rest?” Dr Tony asked as he switched off the pen torch he used to examine Ashley.Ashley nodded her head negatively in response to his question.“And how is the headache?” “Worse. And I feel dizzy too often.” “That is likely to happen as you are not getting much sleep… Are you using the pills I gave you regularly?”“I missed a few days.” She answered truthfully.Dr Tony kept his stern gaze on her. She was doing everything he had instructed her not to do.“I forget sometimes.” Ashley explained in response to the disapproval in his gaze.“Do you enjoy the pain?... You don't seem to want to get better, Ashley. You're not following the instructions I had given you. Instead, you're doing the exact opposite.”Tony kept a straight eye on Ashley. “Don't you want to remember your past?”Tony's question only earned him a glance from Ashley. She didn't respond to his question. At this point she wasn't certain what she wanted. Not after what she discovered last nigh

Ashley nervously smooths her hand over her dress for the nth time. DJ had picked her up for dinner at his parents house. They stood by the door and he patiently waited for Ashley to collect herself. He couldn't understand why she insisted they come here when it made her this nervous. Left to him, he'd rather be somewhere else than here. But Ashley had the inexplicable need to make it up to his brother. If only she knew. He looked at her. “Ready now?” She passed him a nervous look, a subtle plea for a few more minutes. “We could cancel this, you know. We don't have to be here if you're not up for it.” He offered, silently hoping that she would change her mind and they'd just turn around and leave. “No no no. I'm just…” She inhaled sharply. “Let's go.” She said, wearing a shaky smile. I raised my brow at her seeking confirmation before taking my next action. Ashley nodded a ‘go ahead’ at me. I raised my hand and rang the doorbell. It didn't take long before we were ushered into

The mention of dying with water clogging the airways was like a trigger that stirred something in Ashley. She suddenly felt her lungs fill with water, then the cold, tickling sensation of water on her skin. It felt so real that she couldn't breathe at that moment. She had been leisurely resting a hand on DJ's thigh as Mr Leon spoke. But she soon found herself digging her fingers into his thigh as she struggled to breathe. Her hand held her head as a heavy ache invaded her.The suffocation was so real and she felt as though she had been there before. Swallowed up in water and drowning. It felt all too real in her mind.She jolted back into consciousness when DJ repeatedly shook her, calling out her name.She clutched her chest staring up at DJ wide-eyed. Her breathing ragged as her heart raced.DJ gathered her into his arms protectively. Rocking her back and forth reassuringly.Mr Leon watched in perplexed confusion what had happened. “Is she alright?” He finally asked. “What happene

“You’ve come!” Mrs Leon beamed from behind the others, pushing past them to welcome her favourite son, Bruce and his wife.Bruce returned his mother's greeting distractedly as his gaze darted between the company of DJ, his father and the strange lady.“They came in early and are already leaving because his fiance seems to always fall sick at important events.” Mrs Leon took the liberty to explain to Bruce who was staring at DJ, surprised that he was on his way out.“Sarah!” Mr Leon addressed his wife by her first name. He was totally disgusted by her behavior.Mrs Leon passed him an unapologetic look, eyeing her husband for reprimanding her in front of the kids.Bruce turned to his brother, ignoring the angry glares being exchanged between his parents.Bruce didn't like this. He wanted a chance to gloat over his achievement to his brother. He wanted to see the hurt and bitterness on DJ's face as DJ's rights were being passed on to him.“Why are you leaving so soon?” He asked. “The din

Ashley's Revenge Chapter Sixty-Five
“The guests have begun to arrive.” Pamela said in a breathless tone. She peeked through the large curtains hiding them behind the stage.The past weeks have been so busy for everyone at the office.The fashion exhibition day was upon them and as Ashley had instructed; nothing was to go wrong. Being an evening event, Ashley had spent the whole day ensuring that the hall and everything else was in place.“Good! And the models?” Ashley asked Pamela. “Don't leave that there.” She instructed one of the handymen. “Put that by the side.” She turned just as Pamela responded to her question.“All ready. Just a few finishing touches… You should go get ready. Change your clothes.” Pamela advised Ashley who looked tired and was drenched in sweat. She looked at her friend with compassion. Ashley had barely sat the whole day.“Sure.” Ashley responded. Her eyes roved around one more time, checking to see if there was anything out of place. She didn't want anything to go wrong. “Go oversee the model
Ashley's Revenge Chapter Sixty-Four
Ashley and Pamela exchanged looks. Fear filled their gaze. Had DJ heard them? Why did he call them out that way? “Who would pay?” DJ asked, walking into the kitchen to join them. He was still panting slightly from his run. Ashley's and Pamela’s hearts raced as they passed each other fearful looks. They were so engrossed in their fear of being caught that they missed the tease in DJ's voice. “Um…” Ashley fumbled. “If I had known you would come here to bother my fiance with work problems, I would have never told she was with me, Pam.” DJ said, walking to the freezer helped himself to a bottle of cold water. He paused, clinging onto the fridge handle, noticing the tension reeling from both women. “Is everything alright?” His eyes scanned them. “No. We were just talking about work. There are a couple of pending payments to be made.” Ashley explained. “Yes. I'll get the invoice for you to sign.” Pamela said, moving away to get her bag. “See what I mean? You don't give her any break
Ashley's Revenge Chapter Sixty-Three
“You?”“Me!” Pamela grinned jovially and walked past Ashley into the house.Ashley's brows knotted with confusion and her eyes shone with surprise as she closed the door. She hadn't told anyone that she was at DJ's. Pamela didn't even know she met with DJ. “Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?” Pamela strode inside, making herself comfortable, settling on the sofa.Ashley grinned inwardly at the thought that Pamela wouldn't be so comfortable on that couch if she knew the things she and DJ had done there.“Ashley!”Ashley jolted. She shook her head bringing her mind back into the room. “How did you know I was here?” she asked, moving to join Ashley on the couch.“You didn't return after your meeting with Bruce. I got worried, so I texted DJ and he told me you were here.” Ashley furrowed her brows. “When was this? Have you seen him?” She was curious. She hadn't seen him since the morning and she didn't know where he was.Pamela's brows knitted. “Uh, I texted him last night and he
Ashley's Revenge Chapter Sixty-Two
True to his words, Ashley barely got any sleep. DJ had woken her up in the middle of the night so they could move to his bedroom where he took her to intense pleasurable heights. Not once, but over and over again until they were both drained and spent.She fell asleep right after. By morning, she was pleasantly exhausted and was sleeping like a baby. A deep peaceful slumber that she hadn't noticed when DJ slipped out for his routine morning run.A distant ringing infiltrated her euphoric dream. The sound grew louder and closer with each passing moment, before Ashley realized it wasn't her dream but reality.She stirred, fluttering her eyes, blinking lazily and tiredly, the weight of sleep heavy in her eyes. She didn't want to wake up yet, but the ringing was not relenting.Who would ring so early in the morning?She groaned, irritated at the persistent disturbance. She exhaled, flipped her eyelid open and sleepily looked around her. This wasn't her room. Every corner of the room had

Ashley, nestled on top DJ, was enjoying the feel of the satiating aftermath of their heated passion. She placed head comfortably on his broad chest, idling tugging on the hair on his chest.“You're so hairy.” She commented.“You don't like it?”“I like it. It gives me something to play with.”“If you want something to play with,-”“I'm good with this, thank you.” Grasping his lewd tease, Ashley quickly cut him.DJ chuckled. “Spoil sport.”“Your mind is so dirty.” Ashley remarked with a smile.DJ's chuckle deepened. “Don't tell anyone my secret.” He said in pretend seriousness.Amused, she shook her head against his chest at his naughtiness and snuggled into him.DJ sighed with satisfaction as his finger trailed the hollow length of Ashley's spine.She sensed him smiling and she propped herself on her elbow to look at him.“What now?”“Nothing.” She lifted one brow. “Then why are you smiling like that?”DJ adjusted himself to accommodate her positioning. “I'm happy.” He responded wit

Ashley returned to her table to find DJ waiting for her. Sonia trailed behind her, her face an angry storm that no one seemed to notice.DJ's impatience was evident in his expression. “Are you done?” It was clear to Ashley that Bruce and DJ may have continued their brawling in the absence of both women.“Yes. She turned to Bruce. “I'll instruct Pamela to send you a mail regarding the presentation.”Bruce nodded. “I'll be seeing you soon.” His words carried an underlying meaning, aimed at irking DJ .“We should go.” DJ said through clenched teeth, already taking quick long strides away from them.Ashley packed her bag and briskly followed DJ.“I'll see you at home, DJ.” Sonia called after them and Ashley passed her a glare.“Slow down. I'm almost running after you.” Ashley was breathing heavily.DJ slowed down, then paused, and waited for her to catch up with him. Just when she stood beside him, panting, clutching her chest and trying to gulp more air, DJ scooped her into his arms an

“Bruce!” Sonia walked up to their table, smiling gingerly. “You're here!” she beamed.DJ begrudgingly followed behind Sonia. His reluctance was evident, he didn't want to have to deal with his brother.“Rachel.” Sonia greeted the lady who had her back to them before she could see the face.Ashley raised her head and smiled at Sonia. “I'm not Rachel.”Sonia's smile dropped. She passed a look between Bruce and Ashley, hoping to get an explanation.The questions in her mind could be clearly seen in her eyes. Why are these two all cozy together at a restaurant? Does Rachel know that her husband is here with Ashley?“Ashley?” DJ was stunned. He hadn't seen her before now.Like Sonia, he passed a look between Bruce and his fiancee, wanting an explanation.A self satisfied smirk sat on Bruce's lips. From DJ's expression, he could tell his brother had not known his fiancee was meeting with him. Bruce took it upon himself to massage his own ego and salten DJ's wound. “We have a lunch meeting.
Ashley's Revenge Chapter Fifty-Eight

Helen had openly threatened to kill her ‘again’ if she needed to and now Pamela had identified Paul as Ashley's killer. But it was said that Ashley died in a car accident.Nothing added up.

Ashley's Revenge Chapter Fifty-Seven
Ashley opened her eyes to the white lit room. The pristine ceiling stared back at her and the beeping sound of machines filled her consciousness. It quickly registered in her mind that she was still in the hospital. After Helen left, the nurse had given her something to make her sleep as she had complained about a headache. Her eyes roved around with exhaustion. She looked to her right to see a gloomy face of Pamela seated next to her bed, watching her. Ashley sighed. She looked up to the table by her bed. “Please pass me that glass of water.” Ashley requested in a croaky voice. She was parched. Her mouth felt extremely dry, an effect of the medication. Pamela quickly obliged. She stood up from the seat, grabbed the glass, helped Ashley sit up and fed her from the water. Pamela returned the glass after Ashley had drank enough. They stayed in awkward silence for a while before Pamela spoke, breaking the silence. “How do you know that man? Who is he?” Ashley glanced at her, the
