“Leave Ashton,” I ordered. His whole face changed, the guilty look he had was gone and it was replaced by that same look I have come acquainted with these past few months. “Arabella…” “Jesus Christ Ashton, leave! What more do you want, bastard? Haven't you done enough already?” I asked, cleaning
Arabella. I paid the cab driver and rushed into the hospital, I stopped at the receptionist's table and asked. “Hi, please I’m here for Mr Owen,” I politely asked. “A minute miss,” she said and started typing on her computer. I bit my bottom lip, I looked at her and then around the place. She wa
I can’t believe Ashton would stoop so low because I spoke rudely to him. “Hey Ella, why are you crying?” Mom asked beside me. I frowned, crying. I wasn’t crying, why would she say that, I took my hand to my face and felt my cheeks wet. Gosh, I didn’t even know I had been crying. “It’s nothing,” I
Alejandro. I stared at the address in front of me and then at the shop that wasn't open. This is it right, this was the address in the file, right? I stared at the paper and then at the shop, the name ‘Ellie’s Heaven’ was bodily written in a beautiful design at the top. That was the only thing
Arabella. I kept on looking behind me as the cab rode fast, Alejandro’s car was still following me and at that moment I didn't know what to do. “Can you drive a little bit faster please?” I asked the driver who merely glanced at me but didn't add to the speed. I know he must be scared of riding a
“Hi,” I looked at her name tag, “Victoria, please I’m here to see….” I got interrupted. “Your husband I know.” My brows raised as I stared at her. That same look of adoration was still on her face, “I know you are his wife,” she answered and I couldn’t help but ask. “How?” “You are all over the
Arabella. The sound became louder and clear as I stood there in his office, I couldn’t blink or do anything as I watch my husband fuck another woman in front of me. My whole body felt frozen and numb at the same time, I didn’t know what to feel. My mouth wouldn’t move, and no words could come out
Arabella. “You aren’t as dumb as I’d presumed,” she went on. I couldn’t do anything after shouting at her, the pieces started to fall into place; the fight this morning, Mom's call, and then this. Everything happened in just hours, every single thing I have worked my ass off to remain the same a
Arabella. I refused to come out until Alejandro told me where the hell he brought me to. The whole place was filled with trees and trees, there was only one house in the middle of these trees and that was where he was currently standing. What are we doing here? Wasn’t this someone’s property? “C
Alejandro. “The shipment will arrive in an hour boss,” The man before me stopped talking for a while, I know that look. “What is it?” I asked. “I don’t think the Italian would stay quiet this time boss, they are going to react again.” He went on. I let out a sigh, the Italians have been a pain i
Arabella. I quickly looked away from him and acted like I didn’t see him at all. I walked slowly and tried my best not to stare at him again. The image of him leaning against his car with that dark shade on his face popped up in my head again, the same as the image of us kissing. I closed my eyes
I shook my head, I am nothing like him. I am not a cheat like him. “Don’t compare yourself to me, Ashton, we are about to get divorced so I have every right to be with another man. You hate the thought of it right?” I asked, staring at his fuming face. “You hate the thought of me kissing another
Arabella. Ashton leaned back in his seat, looked at the envelope, and then at me. “So this is it huh? This is what our life has become, Ara,” he said, confusing me. “We could have been happy, you know, all this wouldn’t have happened if you had stayed.” He said, and I frowned hating how he was pa
Arabella. Just like I thought, the drama I created back at the restaurant blew up like wildfire, everyone was either commenting on how cheap Ashton was and back lashing his mistress. I felt good knowing that they wouldn’t support him because he was rich and could harm any of them. I left the house
Arabella. “Ara…do not lie to me. I know something happened between you guys, so give me a damn reply.” She urged. I shook my head, “Nothing happened Aggie. He….we only bumped in the club and then he offered to bring me home when I was feeling tired. That’s all.” I lied, biting my inner cheek and f
Arabella. I noticed two strange things when I woke up this morning, The first was that I was in a new set of clothes when I do not remember putting them on and the second was that my head was aching so bad that it felt like it was going to fall off. I sat up in the bed and looked around, I couldn'
Agnes. Life isn’t fair. Life is fucking cruel. But we only get this one, so we have to make it count. You can’t dwell in the past, you look ahead, count your blessings, and plan for the future. That is what someone close to me always tells me. At first, I thought it was bullshit but now I can se
