Ashley's Revenge Chapter Fifteen
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

“How could you let this happen?” Tony rebuked Knox who had the lines of worry embellished all over his expression.He had just stepped out of Ashley's Ward where he just finished examining her. He was still standing by the door when Knox approached him. Ashley had to undergo a minor surgery to stitch back her open wound. Knox had left the concerned group, DJ and his brother at the far end of the hall to speak privately with Tony. “How is she? Will she be alright?” Knox questioned, ignoring Tony's reprove. His concern was focused more on the girl, Ashley, his daughter.He had almost died in the instant he received the distressing call from DJ. He immediately made arrangements for Ashley to be taken to Dr Tony. A doctor who was familiar with her medical history.“She suffered a major concussion. The wound reopened. We had to stitch it again… Thankfully, she's stable now.”“And?” Knox asked anxiously, fearing the worst. It was a question Tony understood and he gave his honest response.

“What did you just say?” DJ asked as he strode into the room.Bruce followed behind him. He had helped DJ carry Ashley to the car when she fainted at their house. The ambulance was taking forever to arrive and DJ didn't want to wait doing nothing, so he insisted on taking Ashley to the hospital himself.Mr Leon had suggested that Bruce drive his brother to the hospital as DJ was not in the right frame of mind to drive.Bruce ended up bringing them to the hospital. He was just about to leave after DJ expressed his sincere gratitude when they glanced over to where Knox and Dr Tony stood by the door to Ashley's cabin.The rush with which Knox had charged into the room alerted DJ that something was wrong.He quickly sprinted for the door into which Knox had disappeared. He wanted to find out for himself what was happening with Ashley. Bruce instinctively ran after him and they were met with Dr Tony's announcement. His reaction was just as the same as Mr Knox's.“How old is the pregnancy?

The ground spinned under Mr Knox's feet. His heart skipped many beats and raced when it picked up. He felt as though his essence was seeping out of him.“Ashley?” He whispered.Ashley suddenly jerked her chest up and her eyes bulged, growing wide like saucers. The ECG machine beeped rapidly as she propped her upper body as though she was taking her last breath.Dazed, Mr Knox tripped back. His senses picked up and he ran for the door, darting his gaze between the path before him and the epileptic Ashley on the bed.Knox yanked the door, poked his head out and yelled out to Tony who was thankfully still waking down the hallway.“Tony! Come fast! I think something is wrong. She woke up… She…” Knox stammered in his agitation.Tony was quick on his heels. He pushed past Knox and stepped inside the room.DJ and Bruce, who had stayed back, waiting by the cabin after their argument, followed behind Tony.“I… I don't know what happened… I… She woke up… Looked at me… Opened her eyes. Then all

Ashley had lazily opened her eyes to the unfamiliar room. As her heavy eyes roved around the room, trying to figure out where she was, they met with the eyes of the strange man staring worriedly at her. “Who are you?” She asked. Her voice barely above a whisper.She watched as the man's eyes flew wide with fear.“Ashley?” He said.It was a vaguely familiar call and in that instance, it hit her. The sharp piercing pain at the back of head. Memories of a past locked in the deep recess of her mind and that of the past few days collided, clashing and battling for dominance in her mind.Lilian, Ashley, Bruce, DJ. Who was she? Her heart raced. Her pulse palpated. She felt a decline in her insides before she gave in to darkness.The faint voices, so closed yet so distant, floated in her mind. She could faintly hear the conversation between two people. She felt exhausted. The fierce mind battle she had fought had drained her. Now she was focusing on calming her racing heart.There was no w

Tears pulled at Knox's eyes. She remembered him. She didn't forget her new life. He was grateful that he hadn't yet again lost a daughter. Everything would be as it were. He would be her father and she would be his daughter.Tony on the other hand was thankful that his practice would not not be affected. He didn't deny the fact that what he had helped his friend do was illegal and he feared the consequences.DJ was happy that he wouldn’t again be a part of her forgotten memories and he wouldn't be starting all over again in winning her trust.Only Bruce had a neutral expression. He was only glad that such a beautiful girl didn't lose her life.Tony smiled at Ashley. “That's good.” He commended her. Tony turned to the nurse. “Have you given her the injection?” The nurse nodded in response.“You should get some rest now.” Tony told Ashley. “You’ll need to regain your strength.”“When do I get discharged?” Ashley asked. “I want to go home.” Dr Tony was taken aback by her question, but

It had been a week since Ashley was discharged and she was beginning to feel better. She had rested, regained strength and strategized. Fueled by her need to get revenge, she couldn't wait until she was fully up to par to begin executing her plans.She looked at the diary of Ashley she had been reading before dozing off the previous night. She had learnt so much about the dead Ashley from those pages.It was vital for her to understand the pattern of things in the Knox's household. For her plans to be any successful, she needed to get power and money, lots of it.And the one way to achieve that quickly was through her father, Mr Knox. Ashley smiled at the thought.Her diary had stated just how much Knox wanted his daughter to take over his company but for her stubbornness and grievance at the old man, she had refused. Stupid girl.That was the old Ashley. This new one would work her way to the top of the business. She had to make Mr Knox know of her interest.There was a soft knock on

Ashley sat in the restaurant all by herself, alone with her thoughts. The cup of hot coffee she had requested sat on the table, long forgotten and now cold. Her vision blurred and her mind in disarray, she paid no attention to the figure that walked past her table.She was tired of everything. She was tired of the life and everything that came with it. She was more confused than ever on who to trust. She needed someone by her side as she embarked on this journey. She missed her carefree self. The happy Lilian who saw the good in everyone and loved life without the constant fear and suspicion.But that path hadn't been so kind to her. She had had her fair share of betrayal in her past life with her closest pair stabbing her so brutally. She didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. And she needed someone by her side to advance her plans, not just anyone but the right one. A person she could trust wholeheartedly. She sighed as the thought of it all exhausted her. She just wanted to be

“She couldn't have asked you that.” Bruce said to his wife, refusing to believe what she had just told him. “I'm telling you she did. She was asking too many questions about Lilian.” Rachel insisted.“What use is the information to her?” Bruce asked, voicing out his thoughts.Rachel, who had not realized that her husband was only thinking out the question in his mind, responded. “I don't know.” “How did she even come to know about Lilian?” He turned to Rachel this time, expecting her to answer.“She said DJ-”“That swine!” Bruce spat with venom. Hatred for his brother filled him and he began to see all of this as he did every other thing; a dirty competition with his brother.Bruce immediately convinced himself that his brother was only trying to sabotage his future business dealing with Ashley by painting a bad picture of him, ruining his reputation.“I think she was just curious. Only heaven knows what DJ had told her just to paint me bad. You know he is interested in investing in

Ashley cussed under her breath. She had forgotten about him and didn't think he would take her promise seriously when she said they'd talk after her return.“Paul.” She called in greeting. “You shouldn't have waited up for me.” “You stayed out late.” Paul stated with authority. His tone was stern and angry. “I was waiting for you.”Ashley raised her eyes and met his. He was beginning to get under her nerves with his constant whines for her attention. Who was he to determine when she went and when she returned? “I didn't ask you to.” She responded offhandedly as she cracked her neck to ease the dull ache she felt. She was exhausted and the last thing she wanted to do was to deal with Paul.‘You said we'd talk.”“I’m tired, Paul.” Ashley said over her shoulders, already making her way to her room.Paul's eyes glowed with rage. Her indifference to him was affecting him in many ways than he could admit and awakening in him something he had fought to bury.“Let me guess. He took you and

“What was all that about?” Rachel shot at Bruce once they had left his parents and had begun driving home. “What?” Bruce asked genuinely. He had not noticed how upset Rachel was.“Don't give me that! You damn well know what I'm talking about!” Bruce sighed. “If I did I wouldn't be asking… Baby can you just tell me what it is.” His endearment was aimed at diffusing her fury. He was in a good mood and did not intend to spoil it by having banter with Rachel.“Maybe you could thank me by treating me to coffee sometime and then we can begin talks about business.” she mimicked him, her tone sarcastic and her expression adorned with disgust.Bruce rolled his eyes as he tried to work his way through her statement. He didn't think that was the cause of her rotten mood.“What is it about that? I was expressing my intention to do business with her. You know how much we have been trying to get a partnership with her father but his reluctance has always made it impossible.” He defended.“Oh and

Dinner started off quietly, with only the clattering of cutleries filling the air. The meal of garlic mashed potatoes with roasted turkey was delicious and Ashley filled herself heartily.“The food was delicious.” She commended Mrs Leon as they feast on the fruit custard served for dessert.Mrs Leon smiled with appreciation. If there was one thing she loved, it was getting praises for her cooking.“My wife sure has great culinary skills. I can give you that.” Mr Leon remarked with pride adorning his tone. “That's one of the reasons why I love her. Good food everyday.” Mr Leon whispered in addition.“Oh please.” Mrs Leon crimsoned with embarrassment. “Stop being silly.” She jokingly chided her husband.Everyone at the table laughed. For once, the ambience was warm and relaxed until Bruce spoke. The sound of his voice always irked Ashley. “So Ashley, do you cook?” Ashley rolled her eyes inwardly. Small talks! All so he could talk to her. She wondered how Lilian never saw this side of

Bruce had his curious eyes on Ashley. For some unknown reason, he was expecting her to answer his question.“I was just telling your wife how lovely she looked in her dress.” Ashley lied smoothly. She made the comment knowing Rachel was not as dressed as she was. It was a subtle jab thrown at her enemy.Rachel understood Ashley was belittling her outfit. But that was of little concern to her. What Ashley had said about Lilian. The questions she had asked. Rachel couldn't wrap her head around it. Who was this lady?Rachel glanced at her. Her fear for this strange fiancee of her brother-in-law doubled. She swallowed again, attempting to look as relaxed as Ashley. Bruce turned to his wife briefly before focusing his gaze back on Ashley. “Yes, she does look beautiful. And I can say quite the same of you. I was going to mention earlier, you look stunning Ashley.” Bruce complimented. His gaze lingered on her exposed flesh as her dress had shifted up her legs when she crossed them over.If

“What?” Rachel squeaked. Confusion adorned her features. She didn't understand what Ashley was talking about. The simple words were ambiguous, possessing multiple facets and meaning.Was Ashley seeing someone else? Rachel wondered. It was obvious she must have been referring to someone else, but who?“Never mind it.” Ashley told her dismissively. “It’s just a weird expression.” “Oh! Okay.” Rachel commented, laughing eerily. “It's very weird.”“What about you?” Ashley smoothly fed their conversation.“Me?” Rachel asked puzzled.Ashley smiled. “I mean you and Bruce. How's marriage life? How long have you two been married?” Her tone feigned interest.“Oh!” Rachel rolled her eyes, feeling somewhat inadequate for not getting what Ashley meant.“Well, marriage has been wonderful! We've been married for over a year now and it has been the best time of my life. I couldn't have asked for a better partner.” She beamed proudly.Ashley paid no attention to her yapping. She waited with disinteres

“I'm sorry. Paul was just saying something to me.” Ashley apologized as she got into the car. “Right. I was beginning to get worried.” DJ said, holding the door to the car for her.She smiled apologetically to him. He shut the door, rounded up to the driver side and got in.Forty-five minutes later, they were parked in front of DJ’s parent's house. Unlike the last time, the building was very familiar this time. She recalled the first time ever she had been here. Then, it was as Bruce's fiancee. That was four years ago. Now, she was here again. Still as a fiancee but for a different brother. She wondered if she would receive the same welcome.“Baby?” DJ called.Ashley jolted. His call had pulled her out her thoughts. She hadn't realized he was holding the door open for her to step down.“Are you okay?” He asked, concern lacing his voice.“Yeah. Um, sure.” She laughed nervously. “Just a little nervous.” She admitted.“You know you just have to say the word and we're out of here. I cou
Ashley's Revenge Chapter Twenty-Eight
The day went by quickly. Ashley spent most of it in her room planning her grand comeback. Her new identity was her greatest strength. No one knew who she really was and she could shoot her targets without anyone ever knowing it was her.She decided to clad herself in a knee length beaded lace red evening dress, adorned with glittering silver sequin bordering the deep V neck line and the same design around the slim of her waist. The colour, chosen to reflect the vengeance in her heart.She had found the dress in the closet, no doubt belonging to the late occupant of this room. It was hers now. The room and everything else and the dress fit perfectly just like she fit into the late girl's life perfectly.Her outfit was a little too much for just dinner with family. She knew this, yet she chose it because she wanted to make a statement.She let her curly hair curtain her face and applied a swipe of mascara to define her long lashes, a dust of blush to her rosy cheeks and two swipes of ve
