Ashley's Revenge Chapter Twenty-Two
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

Paul squinted at her. He was well aware of how daring and mischievous Ashley could be, but he couldn't understand what her intentions with joining the business was about. Ashley and the family business were two worlds apart that could never liaise.“Who are you?” He blurted out.Ashley, who had returned her attention to her meal, without raising her head, lifted her eyes and looked at him.For a moment, her stare caused the hairs on Paul's neck to rise. He thought she was behaving strangely, like a possessed being.“Ashley?” He called as though testing if she would answer the call.“Paul.” She returned as she forked the last piece of her meal into her mouth.She picked up her napkin and wiped at the corners of her mouth, watching him while he stared at her in wonderment.“Can we start now?” She raised her brows in question at him.“Start what?” “You have to brief me on how the company works, remember?” She said. She was unfazed by the way he was looking at her.He stood up from his s

Ashley and Paul were jolted by the knock on the door.Ashley eyed Paul as she fixed herself and tried to put on a normal expression.“We are far from done. We'll talk about this later.” Paul said, rounding her to get to the door.“Yes? What is it?” He spoke in an irate tone to the maid who had interrupted them.The maid bowed her head. She was frightened by his tone. In a low voice she responded to his question.“Mr Dax is here to see ma'am Ashley.” She announced.Paul's facial expression notched up in annoyance. “She's not around.” He said dismissively to her.“I'm here!” She yelled from behind him. She poked her head over his shoulder so that the maid could see her. “Tell him I'll be with him shortly.” The maid nodded and excused herself.Ashley tried to wiggled her way past Paul's huge frame blocking the path of the door.“We are not done talking.” His tone was hard and commanding.“I think we are. And there's nothing more for us to discuss. As it is, I'll ask dad to assign someon

Ashley's face was flushed by the time DJ freed her from the kiss. Her lips were big, swollen and tingled deliciously. As much as she had other motives, she couldn't deny the fact that she had enjoyed the kiss and had not wanted him to stop.Never had she been kissed with such fiery passion. Never. Not ever by Bruce who she had loved with everything she had at some time in her life. But she didn't need this now. Romance was not a part of her mission.DJ was very distracting. A distraction she shouldn't allow move her away from the course of her plans. She needed to still her heart to him even though he was proving to be so easy to fall for. It made her wonder why the old Ashley never fell in love with him.She smiled sweetly at him. “Sorry I kept you waiting.”“If you apologize like that every time, then I'll always forgive you.” He told her, returning her smile. It was obvious he had not been expecting Ashley to welcome him with a kiss. He had always been the one to initiate a kiss ev

It was undeniable that DJ was pudding in Ashley's hold. She could make him thick or soften him as she pleased.A triumphant smile tugged at the corner of her lips as DJ put a call through to his family to schedule dinner with them.Ashley was convinced that it would be different this time. There would be no headaches, no fainting and no weaknesses. She didn't know who she was the last time, but now she did and that was her greatest strength.They finished their meal and sat there in the restaurant lightly conversing. It was only until late in the evening that DJ brought Ashley back home.“Thank you for the outing. It was lovely.” She thanked and kissed DJ as they stood on the front porch of their house.The sun was at the early stage of disappearing into its horizon and it cast its bright orange hue over them, making Ashley's white skin glow against the light and DJ thought she looked ever beautiful.He swelled with pride and a sense of accomplishment resonated within him. He was gett

Ashley was humming to herself happily as she walked into the house. She felt DJ's eyes trail her until she closed the doors behind her. She couldn't refute the fact that she was loving the attention he gave her.The look in his eyes told her that she was everything to him. But again, she pushed the idea of romance to the recess of her mind.Romance had almost killed her and had brought her here assuming the identity of a different person, living the life of someone she may have never known in the entire span of her lifetime. She wouldn't let love sway her. Not anymore. But it wouldn't stop her from enjoying herself.“You look happy.” Ashley was startled by the voice. She hadn't been expecting anyone to meet her at the door. She raised her head to see Mr Knox, her father walking down to her.Her lips spread into a smile and Mr Knox enveloped her in a hug. He gently kissed her cheeks and she returned the gesture.“Any reason why you are so cheerful today?” He asked her.“You don't like

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

“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

Pamela was more than baffled with the strange woman claiming to be her long lost friend. The switch from being all joys and cheers into an erupted volcano of tears surprised her and left her speechless.“Are you alright?” Pamela asked the weeping woman tentatively. She was unsure how to address the situation. She had even begun to consider the fact that Ashley might be crazy. Still, she retrieved the box of tissues kept on the table and offered it to Ashley.Ashley sniffed, reached out and pulled some tissues from the box Pamela had offered. She blew her nose into the tissue. “I'm sorry.” Ashley apologized and sniffed again.“It's okay. Are you feeling better?” Pamela asked and Ashley nodded in response.“Thank you.” Ashley told Pamela as she stood up from the seat. “I'm sorry for the bother.” She apologized again. Pamela's order arrived just as Ashley was about to leave. “You know I can't finish all these by myself?” Pamela said. It was an invitation to Ashley as Pamela thought t

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
