“You witch! What did you do to my son!” Helen barged into Ashley's ward steaming with rage.

For some reasons unknown to Ashley, she had taken so long to arrive even after hearing about her son's accident.

Ashley was now back in her room. She has been unable to talk to Paul. A nurse came in at that moment and kicked them out, all the while reprimanding Pamela for indulging Ashley.

The nurse followed Ashley back to her room to ensure that she got back in bed. She refixed the IV on Ashley's hand and she sent Pamela out of the room.

Ashley had gone to Paul's room seeking answers. Instead, she got more questions.

Why did Pamela react like that? It only meant she knew Paul. How did she know Paul? What history did they share?

Ashley was engrossed with these thoughts when Helen burst in.

“What did you do to my son?” Helen repeated, stomping her feet as she approached Ashley's bed.

“I'm fine Helen. Thanks for the concern.” Ashley's tone dripped with sarcasm.

“You will tell me right now what-”

  • 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

    The room zoomed in dangerously and everything blurred from Lillian's standing spot at the entrance to her room.Her room, her matrimonial room. Laid atop her matrimonial bed was her husband vigorously and pleasurably thrusting deeper and deeper into the honeycomb of her sister. Their moans, the only deafening sound that filtered through the hazy cloud in her mind.She refused to believe her vision. The two most important people in her life could never think to do this to her. The only people that cared about her would never do this. Her heart said differently. Her eyes saw reality. Reality she vehemently refused to believe. She moved closer to the bed. She wanted a closer look at them. She wanted to confirm their faces, even though she already knew. She wanted it to be a mistake.Just as she reached the foot of the bed, she saw her husband shake violently, emptying his release into the depths of her sister. Their sigh of deep satisfaction caused her eyes to water.As Bruce finished o

    "Toss it over! Come on, hurry!" There was urgency in Rachel's voice."Don't you think we should check if she's still alive.""No one can survive such a beating. Didn't you see how they almost splattered her brain out? The guys did a good job. Her head and face is destroyed. Toss this trash into the river before someone sees us." Rachel urged. She darted her eyes back and forth the darkness of the overhead bridge on which they stood.Bruce grunted as he lifted the bag enclosing Lillian's body. "I don't know why you didn't pay them to dispose of the body too." He whined."You want it to be traced back to us? Is that what you want?... Just hurry up and let's get out of here!"Lillian heard the voices in a haze. Her body felt numb and alienated. The physical pain she felt was like nothing in the world. Her breathing was so slow, she thought she would die the next minute. She held her breath when she was lifted. The pain heightened with the contact. She felt herself rise. Her pain increas

    Dr Tony was taking off the bandages wrapped around Lillian's face. He worked with dexterity as he pulled on the bandage. It's been five weeks of waiting since after the surgery."You will feel numb around your face when the bandages come off, but it shouldn't alarm you. It's normal and the feeling will wear off in a moment." Tony explained as he unwrapped the bandage. Sam Knox stood by the corner of the room, his heart racing and his eyes shone with fear. He was eager to see the result of the surgery and yet, uncertain how Lillian would react to her new face.Lillian had only been able to communicate by nodding whenever she was spoken to. The bandages had prevented her from speaking. So they had not been able to have a real conversation with her.Tony had said that the chances of Lillian remembering anything about her past was very slim. But Knox couldn't shake off the fear that she would remember her past life. It would be a disaster if that happened.Tony finally removed the last o

    "Yes." Knox nodded at her. "Yes. You are Ashley Knox." He reiterated with tear filled eyes. "You are my Ashley.""You are my daughter." He announced with tearful glee. She watched him move near her. Uncertainty flooded her gaze. She looked up at Dr Tony whom she inexplicably had a measure of trust in. Tony sensed her insecurities and he understood them. He had seen it a thousand times, patients waking up to memories of their life snatched away from. Knowing nothing. Remembering nothing. The feeling was depressing. He nodded silently at her, consenting to the information she had just received.She turned her gaze away from Tony to regard Knox who had stopped in his tracks. Her countenance had not been welcoming causing him to pause."You are my father?" She inquired.Her innocence burst open the flood gates of Knox tears. He shook violently, collapsing on the bed on which she sat. She suddenly felt guilty. He was her father and she didn't know him. She imagined how that must hurt. S

    "Don't worry, you'll meet him soon." DJ assured. He couldn't remind her that he hadn't spoken to or seen his brother in a very long time. He didn't have a good relationship with his family. He thought he would tell her, but later.Ashley peeled her eyes on him, watching him intently. She wanted to read his reaction to the question she was going to ask next."Was I good girlfriend to you?"DJ grinned. Contentment brightened his gaze. "You are the very absolute best girlfriend ever! In all my dating years, I've never met someone like you." There was pride in his voice. Pride and love. So much love."I'm the happiest to have you back." He stood up from the settee and moved to the bed. He knelt before her and took her hand in his. Staring into her eyes, he poured out his heart. "I love you Ashley."She stilled. His confession a huge surprise. "I don't know what to say."He smiled, his eyes never left hers. "It's fine. Take your time. Take all the time you need. I don't mind courting you a

    Ashley laid on her bed in the dimly lit room, eyes wide open and fixated on the white ceiling. Sleep had traveled far from her.The events of the day replayed in her head. The new faces she had met and didn't know; her stepmom, her step brother and her fiance.How could she not remember her fiance? She must have loved him enough to want to be married to him, but now she didn't know him. He was a stranger to her. She recalled the hurt in his eyes. As much as he tried to mask it, she sensed it. How could she forget those eyes that looked at her with so much love?She scoffed. She didn't even remember her father. The man who had birthed and raised her. The man who seemed to love her more than anything else. Everything was a mumbo jumbo.Nothing made sense to her. She felt like a child seeing the world for the first time. She wished to return to the hospital. At least there, no one expected anything from her. No one seemed pained that she couldn't remember them.Even her cabin at the ho

    Ashley stubbornly sat up on the gurney despite the doctor's warning to lay still. The doctor had had to restitch her wound, fed her with a ton of pain killers and instructed her to rest. She didn't feel better. Her whole body felt as though she was run over by a bulldozer. The aching was almost unbearable. The effect of the anesthesia given to her had not worn off. She still felt sick, drowsy and lightheaded. Still, Ashley couldn't lay down peacefully. She was disturbed. Disturbed by the last words of Paul before he lost consciousness. He said he knew. He was aware of her secret. But how? Who could have told him? Only she and Pamela knew of this secret. Only Pamela did Ashley tell of this. So how? Paul had earlier warned her about Pamela and she didn't want to confront Pamela outrightly without proof. Could this be what Paul meant? Did Pamela tell him her secret? But Pamela had not even met Paul yet. Pamela didn't know of Ashley's relationship with Paul. Paul had seen

    She couldn't give up like this. Not after winning this much.She snapped her eyes open, refusing to let oblivious take her. Her eyeballs bulged out of their sockets and the veins in her temples popped with strain.A whimper escaped her quivering lips. She jerked against his grasp and placed a hand on his arm. And then Paul stopped. He had been carried away by his rage. Her small touch transported him back to reality.He pulled himself away from her. Dazed, he watched her. Almost as though he couldn't believe he did any of it.“Baby. Baby. I'm sorry. Baby, I'm sorry.” He begged. His tone filled with regret.Ashley's eyes dimmed as release flooded her. She gasped and panted, her breath hitching as she tried to catch it. Paul neared her, tugged at her, pulling her closer to himself and wrapping his arms around her.“I'm sorry.” He apologized again, sounding hoarse, as though something got caught in his throat. Was he crying? Did he feel remorse?Ashley’s insides twisted with disgust. A

    Ashley stayed up late in the study that used to be her father's. Now hers, she spent most of her time here, in solitude enjoying the quietness of this particular room.The space was set up like an office with a few homely items that added warmth. Mr Knox's large photo frame hung high on the wall just behind the large mahogany table. A part of the large desk housed Ashley's pictures from childhood into adulthood.To the right of the room, a L-shaped cupboard fitted to the wall providing ample space for file storage sat.The top of the cupboard was decorated with stringed art work of different kinds, Mr Knox's multiple business awards and two flower vases that stood like protectors at both edges of the cupboard.The left part of the office, where the curtains draped over the double windows in the room, accommodated a soft comfortable sofa, leaving the center of the room free and spacious.Ashley had turned off the lights, leaving only the desk lamp on. She sat in the office chair, her

    Ashley's heart stopped beating for a moment. She sat there, motionless, fixated on DJ but not really looking at him.He had completely stunned her with the sudden proposal of marriage. She wasn't prepared for this.“Ashley.” DJ called gently. She had him worried with her sudden blankness causing regret to quickly fill his eyes as he waited for her to recover.He reached out and touched her hand on the table. It was a gentle, soft and pleading touch. She jolted back to reality and peeled her eyes to his, meeting his gaze. His eyes met hers with an apologetic look.“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have jumped that on you.” He apologized and she just stared at him, not knowing what to say.She couldn't formulate any words. Her mouth felt dry even though she had only moments ago drank from her glass of water.DJ chuckled nervously. His hand left hers and she felt inexplicably empty.“You know we'd have been married now if you hadn't had that accident. We'd be on our honeymoon at about this time

    DJ drew the seat out for Ashley and helped her get settled like the proper gentleman that he was.He showed up at her office and had asked her out to lunch. Ashley was free. Her supposed meeting had been rescheduled and it had been a while since she went out with him, so she accepted to dine with him.“Mr Leon? Really?” A smile graced Ashley's lips. Her eyes followed DJ as he pulled out a seat for himself. His specific introduction at her office had her wondering why he didn't just use his name. She didn't think it was him. He didn't have a good standing with his family and had dissociated himself from them and the name. So she never imagined he would introduce himself as a Leon.“Well, you seem to be more concerned about my family these days than you're with me, so I thought the only way to get your attention would be to come to you as one of the Leon's.” DJ's brows rose, a gesture that asked if she agreed with his logic.Ashley chuckled. “It sounds bad when you put it that way.

    “And?” Pamela's expectant eyes rested on Ashley.They were now alone again. Bruce had left and Pamela was itching to know what they had talked about.Ashley busied herself with the piled up paperwork, ignoring Pamela.“You're ignoring me.” Pamela said with a pout.“I don't have time to chit chat now Pamela. You can see my workload.” Having a sharp edge to it, Ashley's tone betrayed her wariness of telling Pamela about her progress. Pamela eyed Ashley's seated form as she was engrossed in the file with scrutiny.“You’ve been acting strange. Acting up and giving too much attitude. I just hope you're okay. Maybe I should leave and come back later.” As Pamela stood up from her seat and headed for the door, Ashley shut her eyes and took a deep breath.She had no evidence against Pamela but the doubt in her heart was poking at her. She was even more scared because it was only Pamela who knew her true identity.If Paul's claims were true, then she didn't want to risk telling Pamela too muc
