Ashley's Revenge Chapter Forty-One
“What was all that?” Pamela's tone was teasing as she and Ashley drove away from DJ's house.“What?” Ashley feigned ignorance. She expected Pamela to drill her after her whole fidgeting episode with DJ.“All that fumbling and stuttering.”“I didn't stutter.” Ashley corrected with a defiant edginess.“I saw the way you were looking at him. You think he's hot!” Pamela accused.“No. I don't.” Ashley said, her gaze intent on the roads ahead. “And I wasn't looking.” She stated firmly.Pamela's eyes grew wide with knowledge. “You like him!” Pamela's high-pitched accusation filled the car.“No, I don't.” Ashley repeated her clipped response. “I told you, he's Bruce's brother. It's not gonna work.”Pamela shrugged. “Well, if that's the case, can I have him after all this is done? I think he's super hot!” Pamela's voice had taken on a dreamy tone.“You wouldn't dare.” Ashley warned.“Ah! Gotta! You like him!” Pamela exclaimed with excitement. She wiggled her eyebrows at Ashley who purposely ig

The call made DJ stop to look behind him. His guess wasn't as good as it gets. He had expected Bruce, coming over to taunt him like he did at every other gala event, but was entirely stunned by the female figure that approached them.“What are you doing here?” DJ asked, completely shocked by the presence before him.“I should be asking you that. I would have never thought I would be seeing you here tonight.” The feminine voice responded.“If I had known you would be coming here, then we could have come here together.” She added.Ashley tightened her grip around DJ's hand, a reminder of her presence . They had not disengaged from their dance stance and DJ grasped the hint.“Well, this is my fiancee, Ashley. We came together.” He said, introducing them for the first time. He wouldn't have come with her even though he knew she would be there.“Oh, Hi.” Sonia greeted, extending her hand to Ashley. Her eyes danced over the length of Ashley as she processed DJ information.“You were at my h

Everyone turned their attention to Pamela who was head bent, smoothing her palm over her dress as she moved closer.She looked like she dressed herself up in less than five minutes and was fixing tiny details she may have skipped.Ashley shook her head. Pamela was never one to bother about impressing people.“What took you so long?” Ashley asked.Pamela lifted her head and her expression morphed into a grin.Her eyes darted across the faces in the small group in observation and she was pleased to see the flash of surprise across Rachel's face.“Had a bit of a car problem on my way. But I'm here now. I didn't miss much, did I?” Pamela asked, grinning widely. Her gaze briefly settled on each face.“You should have called.” Ashley told her.“I didn't want to bother you.” Pamela smiled with gratitude.Pamela turned to DJ. Her eyes appraised the length of him. “You look good. Now I can't figure out which of you is finer. Shirtless or the tux.” Her tone was light, playful with an underlying

Pamela laughed as she reminisced on the event of the evening. They were still standing by the door in front of Ashley's house and DJ had just left after dropping both women off.“Did you see her face! It was a rock!” Pamela remarked amidst hard laughter. Ashley smiled. Pamela's laugh was infectious. Pamela seemed more excited about all of this than she was. Ashley could have thought that Pamela had personal vendetta with the Leon's if she hadn't known better.“Her head was going to blow off with steam when I asked for Bruce's wife and mentioned Lilian.” Pamela slapped her hand on her things as she laughed.Ashley chuckled. “I had not expected that stunt you pulled. It was a perfect shot. Rachel abhors hearing anything Lilian. She fears that topic. Same thing happened when I was at her house questioning her.” “Oh she should. After everything that she has done, she should live in overwhelming fear.” Pamela said.“Come inside.” Ashley urged, turning to open the front door as the laugh

Ashley was taken aback by Paul's question. Why was he asking? Did he know Pamela? How did he know her? Had he discovered her secret? She peeled her gaze filled with certainties on him. She was unsure how to respond to his question. What if he was baiting her, trying to confirm his suspicions? What if she said the wrong thing? “Ashley?” Paul called gently. His eager eyes anticipated her response. “I don't understand.” She declared. “My mother had mentioned her doubts that you lost your memories. I didn't want to believe her. But this… You bring Pamela here? Why? To taunt me?” His tone accused her. Ashley found herself lost in the maze Paul had created with his words. She couldn't decipher where the conversation was coming from, neither did she know where it was headed. “Pamela is my assistant. We met on my trip.” She told him their fabricated story. “She's quite efficient so I took her for the job.” Ashley explained. “You didn't know her before now?” Skepticism and disbelief l

Bruce was boiling with rage when he pulled Rachel to a corner and forcefully yanked her arm around to face him. It was hard for him to keep his anger contained and when he had her cornered, he exploded. “What the hell is wrong with you? Can't you control your senseless anger? Are you trying to ruin everything that we've worked so hard for? What was that for!” His angry breath fanned her face. Rachel was startled by Bruce's fist of rage directed at her. Her eyes stared at him in astonishment. “Didn't you hear what she said?” Still stunned by Bruce's reaction, her voice was surprisingly calm. “What did she say? She had only asked about Lilian. Was that enough for you to bare your canines and want to claw out her eyes like a dog?... In front of all that many people? God dammit, Rachel!” Rachel's eyes welled at the hurtful words Bruce was hurling at her. Her heart bled and pain ripped through her. “It's a sensitive topic for both of us. I mean, I hated the way Pamela raised the t

Rachel slid to the ground and the tears she had been keeping at bay, flowed. She was losing him. She could feel it. That strange woman had come into her life to ruin her peace. She cussed and swore at the day Ashley entered their lives, completely forgetting she had once ruined another's peace. She was overjoyed when she heard about Ashley's sudden disappearance. Even DJ didn't know where she went, and she assumed they had broken up. She thought Ashley would not return. She thought that the problem was gone. Her hopes and joys dropped when she saw Ashley again, standing by DJ at the gala. She didn't know why, but she was certain that Ashley was trouble. She smelled it. Trouble neither she nor Bruce would want, only, Bruce didn’t want to see it. He didn't want to listen to her. Instead he was scolding her. Nothing hurt her more and she cried. Rachel was used to having her way. Used to Bruce taking her advice. Used to be in control. She felt bitter losing that control. Never ha

Standing beside Ashley's swivel office chair, Pamela efficiently read Ashley's schedule for the day from the tablet in her grasp. “You have a meeting with the design team at 9am this morning. And you still have to go over those files.” Pamela pointed to a heap of papers on Ashley's desk.“Mr Mathew called to reschedule his meeting with you at noon. I tried to push him to keep to the agreed time but he's not bulging. So we rescheduled for 9am tomorrow. Would you like me to leave that time open?... If not, I was thinking we could call the manufacturers for the new designs. It'll be a perfect time considering the difference in time zone.” Pamela scrolled up the screen, her attention intently focused on it.“If you'd agree to make the call, then I can clear your itinerary for the rest of the day. Or you could go over to the agency to check with them for the models if you're not up to talking with the manufacturer today. The agency called yesterday to say they were all set. So which would

Ashley's Revenge Chapter Ninety
“This is a family dinner, why did you invite her?” Rachel bellowed at Bruce who stood in front of their mirror, attentively fixing his tie.“Because she's family. She's my brother's fiancee.” He responded without glancing at her.“You don't realize that she's your brother's fiancee on those nights when you stayed out late on dinner dates, frolicking with with ‘brother's fiancee!’” Hot fumes literally escaped Rachel's ears.“We are business partners. You know that.” Bruce walked around her as he spoke. He beelined for her vanity table where he had earlier laid his cufflinks.Fixing the tiny piece of accessory to his suit sleeves, he continued talking. “Stop being so petty. You keep ranting about a woman who is least concerned about you or what you have.” He finished fixing the cufflinks and walked back to the mirror, examining his finished look. Satisfied with his reflection, he turned to Rachel.“Go get yourself dressed up and come down. We are the hosts, we shouldn't be late to our o

“Paul.” His name was a breath of stale air as it rolled out of her lips.She could see the curve of his sinister smile even in the darkness.“Missed me?”Ashley's chest rose and fell in quick successions. Her eyes wide with terror, she watched him closely. Calculating and anticipating his next move. She hadn't forgotten the last time.Fixing her eyes on him, she allowed the corners of her eyes to scan around her, looking for an easy grab and suitable weapon.She flinched, shifting backward as he lifted a hand to her. Her breath paused. His hands approached, taking a lifetime to reach her. When it finally did, his index finger trailed the side of her face and tucked a mass of her disheveled hair behind her.“Go back to sleep. We'll talk better tomorrow.”Not another word and he was walking out the door. No fights. No argument. No attack. He left.Ashley exhaled, clutching her chest, fearing her racing heart would explode. She hadn't realized she had been holding her breath.Go back t
Ashley's Revenge Chapter Eighty-Eight
“I’m not surprised Rachel could stoop so low.” Pamela remarked as they walked out of the bar.Ashley scoffed, shaking her head ruefully. “They have no morals.”They reached the car, Ashley clicked the doors open and they got in.“Ashley, don't you think you revealed too much to Rachel? She'll begin to suspect.” Pamela's voice was laden with concern.“That’s what I want. To raise doubt and suspicion in her mind… You don't have to worry. She can't hurt me.” Ashley assured her, knowing the reason for Pamela's concerns.She kicked the car to a start and drove to drop Pamela off at her apartment.“Thanks girl.” Pamela said in appreciation as she got down. “Want to come inside?”“No. Thanks. I'm going up east.”Pamela knitted her brows. “Is everything alright at home?”“Yeah. Dad's coming back tomorrow and I want to be there when he arrives.” Dad; the word came to her naturally. There was an inexplicable excitement at the thought of seeing Mr Knox again. The man that saved her and gave he

Stan's eyes met the menacing man standing beside Pam. His huge frame contrasted spookingly to Pam’s small frame.He parted his lips and swallowed the words he was about to utter. The warning look on Thomas’ face left him speechless. He recovered quickly, cleared his throat and grunted a goodbye to Pamela and Ashley as they left.Once both women were out of sight, Stan stood at attention, feet closed, chest out and hand lifted up to his head in salute. “Sir!”Joe watched horrified. Trembling, he mirrored Stan's posture in salute to his boss whom he had never seen. “Sir!” Joe’s salute came out shaky and fear filled.Thomas dismissed them and occupied the stool Ashley had earlier vacated. His scrutinizing gaze fixated on both men as he motioned to them to sit.“What was that all about?” Thomas asked, his tone authoritative and bossy. Nothing like the voice he spoke to Pamela in.“Are you two selling sensitive office information out?” He probed further. “What are you two trying to pull?”
Ashley's Revenge Chapter Eight-Six
“Darn it!” Ashley cussed under her breath as Pamela and Thomas reached them. She wasn't ready to deal with Thomas again. She didn't know the guy and she didn't trust him. Just her instincts. And it didn't help that her investigation on him came back with nothing. Nothing! Almost as though the dude didn't exist. She hissed and clenched her fist. An unrest that didn't go unnoticed by Pamela.Pamela met Ashley’s eyes with a glare. “See who I bumped into.” Pamela beamed. A warning directed at Ashley underlied her voice.Ashley took the cue and wore a sweet welcoming smile. She had to behave for her friend. Pamela liked him and until she had proof to convince Pamela otherwise, she'd have to tolerate him.“Hello, Thomas. It's nice to see you again.” Ashley greeted. Thomas smiled and nodded. “Hello Ashley. Nice to see you too.” He returned, all the while switching his gaze between Rachel and Ashley, curiosity embedded in his grey eyes.Ashley turned to Pamela who was standing beside her, a

The drink was served and placed before Rachel. An awkward silence stretched between them in the noisy bar. Rachel's mind mulled over Ashley's knowledge of such a tiny detail about her. She began to wonder how close Ashley was to her husband, Bruce. Not many people knew about her strong aversion to wine. Only her parents, Bruce and Lilian. But Lilian was dead and her parents have never met Ashley. That left only Bruce in the equation. She kept stealing glances at Ashley, the Martini in front of her barely touched. “Got to do a number one. I’ll be right back!” Pamela excused herself, scurrying off to the ladies, leaving Ashley and Rachel alone. “You know, this isn't a funeral, Rachel. I believe you came here to have a good time but you've barely touched that drink.” Ashley turned to her, lewd assumptions flitted through her eyes. “Or are you perhaps waiting for someone? A lover maybe?” Rachel scoffed. “I’m not a tràmp.” Her tone betrayed her insinuating accusation. “Unlike you, I'm

“It's done.” Pamela scurried behind Ashley as her wide eyes trail Ashley's back as she enters the office and beeline for her seat. “So quickly?... Did he see you?” Pamela asked. “No.” Ashley took her seat. “I didn't go as me. I used a proxy.” She said with a satisfied heave. “Wow! So now you own the company?” Pamela asked with incredulity. “Now I own, Bruce.” Ashley smiled. “But he doesn't know it yet.” Pamela gasped and let out a chuckle. “Oh my God! You finally got what you wanted.” Ashley's gaze fixes straight past Pamela. Her mind, brooding and brewing. “Not yet. I still have many scores to settle. One of which I haven't been giving a lot of attention to.” “What's that?” Ashley raised her eyes to meet Pamela's. “Rachel.” “That bitch!” Venom dripped from Pamela's voice. “She won't be one for long. I intend to strip her of that snarky attitude of hers.” Excitement flicked through Pamela's eyes. She had always, always hated Rachel and her ‘better than everyone else's atti

A towel wrapped around his waist, Bruce dried his damp hair with another towel as he walked out of the bathroom. His head still ached from his drunkenness last night. Rachel entered at that moment and Bruce smiled. His erection springing back to life very quickly. Ashley had stirred a lot of steam in him the previous night. He had wanted to let some of it out on his wife after the party. But he had slept off waiting for her. There was a lot of cleaning left to do and Rachel had deliberately stayed back to supervise the maids that night. She didn't want to be anywhere near Bruce as she was still very mad at him. She wanted to talk to him but needed to simmer down. Bruce smiled and tugged the towel around his waist loose, freeing his díck. He walked towards her with a smug smile. “You came back late last night.” He said as he made his way to her, hoping she would welcome him like she always did. “I didn't think you'd notice.” Her voice was tight. He reached her and spread his ha

Ashley left DJ's place floating on cloud nine. She headed straight to the office after making a stop at her house for a change of clothes, all the while pleasantly humming to herself. She reached her office and paused at her door when she heard movement from inside. She had earlier met Benita on her way up and was certain it couldn't be her inside. Slowly, she peeled the door open. “Pam?” Pleasant surprise adorn her tone. Pamela, who had been busy setting down files that needed Ashley's attention, raised her head, glanced at Ashley and continued her work. “Good morning.” Pamela muttered under her breath. The telltale of annoyance tinged her tone. “I thought you said you wouldn't be coming in today?” Delight coursed through her voice at the sight of Pamela. “You need to sign these.” Pamela responded in a tight voice. “They are due next week.” Ashley strode into the office, her gaze fixed on an unsmiling Pamela. She placed her bag on the table and walked up to stand in front of
