After many years of trying to have a baby, it finally happens and Ashley Evans is overjoyed. She prepares a surprise dinner for their anniversary only for her husband to come back with another woman in his arms the same night. Ashley is more than shattered when she realizes the woman was not only his best friend but his mistress expecting her husband’s baby. When everything falls apart, will Ashley ever forgive him for what he did to her once he reaches out to her or will she choose a new love in her life? “If anything happens to my baby Ashley! You’ll wish you never knew me!” Jordan shouted his raging tone, shaking everything around them. “Jody! Aah!” Maya wailed, coiling herself into a ball. Ashley couldn’t hold back the whimper that escaped her mouth when her husband bent down to attend to his mistress. “When I come back, I don’t want to find you here! You’ll be hearing from my lawyers,” Jordan said, his voice bold with no remorse as his words trampled on their five years of marriage. Jordan Millers had always regarded his arranged wife as his responsibility, like any other business. When his best friend and lover who pushed him away paves her way in his life and is pregnant with his baby, he finds himself in a dilemma. Deciding to let go of his wife, he makes the biggest mistake of his life, but it was irreversible. Unknown to him, Maya, his lover, was back to get revenge from him for what happened to her years back. When fate makes him meet Ashley, his ex-wife, will he beg on his knees, or will he allow himself to suffer despite loving her?

Luke squeezed himself among the crowd, his insides shaking. “Oh my God, Jordan?” Luke called, as he noticed Jordan's still form laying there lifeless. Next to him was a lady who was turning her back to them. Luke felt tense as he thought of Ashley, the woman looked like Ashley from her body. “Ashley?” Luke called out pulling the woman so that she looked up making the men gasp as a whole pale face came into view. Luke shrugged his shoulders sighing in relief at seeing the dead woman's face.“She's dead! As for Michael, well, his heart is barely beating,” one man announced as he checked their pulses. Feeling as if laying on the smoothest wool Ashley stirred slowly, a smile falling on her lips. She opened her eyes slowly, monitoring the magnificent place. Her mind suddenly registered what had happe
Devastation fell in the mansion as the fact of Ashley's sudden disappearance couldn’t be hidden. No one was yet to digest the fact that Ashley disappeared just like that.“What? What do you mean you can't find her?” Hamilton ended another call with one of the search parties. “These useless bunch of idiots!” He cursed banging the table in his home office. His daughter had gone missing for a whole day now, no trace of her. A soft knock at the door made him hum in response as he took a seat slowly. Luke walked with his eyes swollen from deprived sleep. “Son, do you have any news? Have they found my little girl?” Mr. Hamilton asked the hope in his eyes fading away as he looked defeated. “We haven't found anything yet, but tomorrow we will be progressing to the abandoned mines to search for…” Luke explained making Hamilton's head shoot up in shock. “Oh my God, you think she was dumped there? How could anyone be that merciless!” Mr. Hamilton said, holding his head between his hands. “
“Chris? Christie?” Michael called as he walked through the plain fields. Christine had sent her a message indicating she was in danger and that he should go alone. Despite Christine's reaction earlier in the day, she was like his little sister. “Damn you Chris, where are you?” Michael mumbled to himself, once again scouting the area. A worried expression on his face, mostly for Ashley who had not woken up yet. “Aaah! Please let me go!” A scream came from a few meters from them, making Michael stride out. He stood in shock, seeing Andrew practically on top of the naked Christine. She threw her hands desperately crying out as Andrew held her tightly. “Hey! Man! Let her go!” Michael said pulling off Andrew, which turned out to be easier than he had anticipated. Michael pulled the man off the girl, making them roll away from Chris. Suddenly, Michael felt himself being flipped under, making Andrew on the top side. “You son of a bitch! Chris, I've got him,” Andrew cursed, delivering
Ashley turned slowly in anticipation to see him. As their eyes locked, Ashley looked at him unblinking in shock as he smiled at her. “Miss Ashley, this is Micha…” “Jordan?” Ashley muttered, her voice barely audible as she looked at him, stunned. “That's impossible…please tell me I'm dreaming…” Ashley mumbled, not knowing what to do. Everyone in the room looked at Ashley as if she were going nuts as she froze on the spot. Michael looked at the woman before him, the mere sight of her making his mind swirlThe name ‘Jordan’ felt so familiar to his mind. As if, having flashes of memory where he could have sworn he had known her from somewhere. Looking at her so lost as she stared blankly at her, Michael couldn't help but feel confused. Why would his mind even have any clue that he had maybe known her. Or perhaps she was just flustered after last night, but Michael thought it was a bit too much for her to look so horrified. “Miss Ashley? Are you alright?” Christine chimed in, their
Michael stirred in bed, stretching his arm to touch the spot next to him only to find it cold and empty. He glanced at the wall clocked only to see through the dim light the clock hit four o'clock in the morning. His mind quickly registered last night's events as his mask stuck on his face, an indication he didn't take it off. His body, feeling awfully relaxed and alive than ever before. He smiled as he remembered his angel from the night. On the floor, he noticed something glittering under the dim light in the room. Michael reached for it only to find a bracelet with a name engraved on it. “Ashley,” he muttered to himself, the name rolling off his tongue like sweet music. She didn't exactly seem like the type to sneak out on him, but she definitely did. He always got up early, his body got used to it. Slowly slipping on a trouser, he pulled off the mask before he opened the back door to take a peek outside. Funny enough, there was no sight off, the thought of her sneaking out un
The room was packed full of guests listening to the opening speech. Each was enthusiastic to hear what their host had to say.“…now you can dance and enjoy, thank you again for coming,” Clapping echoed through the mansion as the guests appreciated the welcome speech. Ashley held on to Lindsey's hand, squeezing it gently, “Lin, have you spotted him yet?” “Not yet, are you sure our plan is going to work?” Lindsey asked, moving her eyes under her mask disguise. “Yes, he'll slip, and I'll be there to get him,” Ashley said with determination in her voice. “Hey beauties, Ash would you mind if I borrow Lin just for a second?” Luke called from behind them, his disguise looking alluring. “No, no, Lin I'll be fine go ahead,” Ashley quickly accepted, pushing Lindsey gently to her love. “Call me if anything turns up,” Lindsey said before walking away with Luke. Ashley looked around spotting her dad busy with other men talking. At that moment, her only thought was turning away from the even
Running through the vast ranch in the evening was not something Ashley imagined. Her lungs burned as she gasped for air, looking behind her. From a distance, she could see someone racing on a horse chasing her. The mansion being out of sight, Ashley felt like she would give up. There was no way she was going to outrun a horse. Her evening walk had turned to running, she hadn't told anyone where she was heading too. Her mind filled with horror, she tripped and found herself hard on the ground. “Aah!” she cried out in pain as her elbows throbbed in pain. Too hurt and exhausted to stand, Ashley stayed down, waiting for her fate. At that moment, cursing by heart why she liked the place even for a second. Surprisingly, a man, her father's age came into view, making Ashley wonder how he raced that fast without breaking a sweat. Dismounting his horse, he took off his hat, ready to approach Ashley. “Are you alright?” the man's voice came, but Ashley quickly shielded her face with her ha
Exhausted from the journey the day before, Ashley stretched as she moaned getting off the bed. She had to admit life here was quiet, the quiet that made one's mind relax. She moved to draw the curtains, her line of vision falling on the vast ranch ahead. So green and attractive, she breathed in the freshest for she thought she had drawn in like forever. “Not bad,” she mumbled to herself as her body relaxed to the bright, warm sunshine that hit her face. Sitting down at the balcony recliner she let her eyes travel to the binoculars right next to her. Curiosity getting the better part of her, she took them, letting her eyes focus on a neighboring mansion not far from there. “Ooh,” the expression was out before she could stop it as her eyes drank in the masculine bare, back before her. She couldn't stop spying on his movement, making her feel like a pervert. The man seemed so busy carrying haystacks in either hand, making his muscles flex seductively. A wave of familiarity hit her a
“Look who's all dressed up…” Ashley said out loud as she entered Brenda's bedroom but stopped midway on noticing her sad face. “What's wrong hunnie?” Ashley asked worriedly as she sat next to her, holding her gently. “Nothing, mom, it's just school and…” Brenda started pausing as she whimpered, wiping her tears. “School? Are you getting bullied? Tell me his or her name, I'll take care of this!” Ashley said firmly but in panic. Brenda lifted her head up, looking at her mother in confusion. “What? No one has any right to bully anyone,” Ashley insisted as she saw her daughter's confused expression. “Mooom, no one is bullying me, it's just that there's a father — child day coming up soon and…” Brenda said, her voice breaking as she tried to complete her sentence. Ashley hugged her tightly, understanding perfectly what she was experiencing. “There, there, I'm sorry hunnie,” Ashley comforted, stroking her back gently. “I don't know what to do, mommy, are the other kids going to laugh
Ashley glanced at the wall clock anxiously as she turned to the phone, which didn’t indicate any calls. It was unusual for Jordan to come home late, especially on such a special day. He would either call to explain in case of an emergency or inform her if he had any business. She dialed his number which went straight to voicemail, making her even worry more. As Ashley paced around the living room, she looked at the delicacies she had spent hours preparing, and it appeared it was all for nothing. A sudden sound as the front door unlocked with a bang pulled her out of her sleep. Ashley saw the clock had struck one after midnight, making her realize she had fallen asleep. Shifting her sleepy eyes to the doorway, they rested on her husband who entered with a smile. Ashley smiled back only to realize Jordan was still holding the door for whoever the smile was for. A strange woman entered with her long black hair glittering from a distance. In all their five years, Ashley had never see...
