“We came here for something important, so would you two just quit it?” Bryan asked and Andrew sighed. “Thank you,” Bryan said and walked towards the grave, they got to it and Ashley sighed. “I really don't know how it's done, no one in the orphanage showed up so I felt like it should just be the three of us.”“Then why is Andrew here?” Hayden asked.“He decided to join because we both made the preparations for the burial ceremony.” Bryan replied and Hayden rolled his eyes.“Can you at least act normal for Lydia's sake?” Ashley asked and turned to Hayden.“Did you just say that to me?”“Yes, why are you being childish?” She asked and he sighed, he turned to Lydia’s coffin and took in a deep breath.“Rest in peace Lydia.” He said and walked away, Ashley stared at him as he walked away and she knew he was upset already.She sighed and turned to the grave, she took in a deep breath and tears clouded her eyes. *******After they all said their prayers, Ashley waited behind and had a mom
“What?” “Just kidding, but I will be close to death because I will be so miserable.” “Do you care that much about me?” “Of course.” He replied and she smiled.“Okay, I will distant myself a bit from Andrew, all I will do with him is just greet him.” “Thank you.” He said and kissed her hand, Ashley blushed and he chuckled.“Do you want anything on our way home?” Hayden asked as he started the car and continued driving.“Yes, I want... ““Anything apart from ice cream.” Hayden cut her off knowing she was about to request it and she pouted.“Then I don't want anything else.” She scoffed and folded her arms.“Fine, I will get you ice cream.” She smiled happily and giggled.They got home after a while and Lucas welcomed them as usual, Ashley was feeling exhausted and she felt like taking a nap. She headed towards the stairs and Hayden followed her, he stopped her as she was about to enter her room and she gave him a questioning look.“Why are you going to your room?” “I really need a
Ashley slowly opened her eyes and looked around, her eyes from on Hayden and he smiled at her.“Hey.” He called and moved closer to her on the bed, he helped her up and she sighed. She felt a lot better compared to how she was feeling hours ago.“How are you?” He asked and she nodded in response.“Are you hungry?” “Yes.” She replied and he used the telephone in her room to call the maids.“What happened?” She asked.“Is there anything you are allergic to that you took earlier today?” He asked and she raised her brow confused.“No, nothing I can recall.” She replied and he nodded.“Is something wrong?”“Not really, Andrew came to check up on you and he said you ate something you are allergic to.”“Is Andrew a doctor?”“Yes.”“Really? I had no idea.”“Yeah, sometimes he forgets he is a doctor.” Hayden chuckled and she smiled.“Are you feeling okay? Or do you need anything?” “No, am okay now.” She replied and he smiled at her, the door opened and the maids walked in carrying trays and
“I should leave now.” Bryan said and slowly stood up and Ashley glared at him.“Sorry.” He whispered before walking out of the house. Ashley sighed and followed the direction Hayden took, she met him in the lounge and sighed. She hugged him from behind and Hayden sighed.“Ashley, can you let go of me?” He asked and she shook her head.“Am sorry Hayden, I didn't mean it that way.” She apologized and he forcefully pulled away from her and turned to leave.“You promised me you will never get mad at me again and you won't hurt me, you are doing it again.” She cried and he paused, he turned to her and slowly walked towards her.“How can I get mad at my kitten?” He muttered and wipe the tear that was about to roll down her eyes. “Am sorry.” She apologized and he smiled before hugging her.“It's fine, I understand why you said that, have been a jerk to you so it might take a while before you trust me.”“I trust you, I am just scared you might end up being mean to me again after using me.”
They finally arrived in Hawaii in the middle of the night and Ashley was exhausted. Ashley looked out the window tiredly and smiled.“Hawaii is beautiful.” She muttered and sighed. “Yeah,” Hayden replied and she turned to him.“When are we going to get to the hotel? I am so tired.” She yawned and leaned on Hayden, he glanced at the chauffeur and shrugged.“Soon.” He replied and she sighed, Hayden kept going through his phone and Ashley poked her head to see what he was doing. He is mostly busy with his phone and she wonders who he chats with, he has no friends except Bryan and Andrew.“What you are doing is wrong.” Hayden said without looking at her and she bit her lip.“Sorry.” She muttered and continued staring, all he did was go through the internet which she found weird for someone like him. He doesn't look like someone social.“You are still doing it.” He said and she giggled, she suddenly jerked his phone from him and exited the app he was in. She clicked on his gallery and fou
“Wake up Ashley.” Hayden called repeatedly and ruffled her hair, Ashley felt someone was disturbing her in her sleep and she groaned.“Wake up Ashley.” Hayden said again and chuckled as he scattered her hair.“Wake up, wake up.” He muttered and played with her cheeks.“Hayden, let go of me.” She whined as she slowly opened her eyes. “Wake up kitten, do you know what time it is?”“What?” She asked tiredly and rubbed her eyes.“It's noon already.” “But it's still so early.” She groaned and pouted her lips, she closed her eyes and Hayden found it cute, he picked up his phone and took a picture of her. He smiled and recovered the mirror pictures he took of them, he wondered why he deleted them in the first place.He took more pictures of her and smiled before dropping his phone.“Okay, where were we?” He muttered and pulled her cheeks.“Seriously Ashley, wake up.” Hayden said as he leaned over her but she shut her eyes tightly “Breakfast is ready and they brought ice cream and cake.” H
After so much persuasion from Hayden, Ashley finally tried ziplining over KoleKole falls, she was terrified at first but it ended up being fun. They stared at the sea a little bit and played at the shore, they also had lunch there and they both took pictures together. It was almost dusk and Hayden smiled, he held her hand and smiled happily at her.“Come on.” He said and pulled her to a place where they could watch the sunset from The Big Island. They got there and Hayden wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and placed his chin on her shoulder.“Wow, it's so beautiful.” She giggled staring at the sea and the sunset and Hayden chuckled.“It is as beautiful as you are.” He complimented and she blushed. “Ashley,” Hayden called and she turned to him, he held her waist and smiled at her.“Yes?”“If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea, I will sail the world to find you, when life leaves you high and dry, I will always be there to help you, I will lie cheat, beg
MORNING Ashley slowly opened her eyes and groaned, she felt weak and her body ached a lot, the bed was empty and she wondered where Hayden went. She tried sitting up but she couldn't and she winced in pain, Hayden walked into the suite and smiled at her.“Hey babe, good morning.” He said with a smile and kissed her forehead, what happened last night rushed into her head and she blushed.She did it! She finally did it!“Morning.” She replied tiredly and Hayden sat beside her.“Does your... body hurt?” He asked nervously and she nodded, he held her hand and took a bit of her pain. “Do you feel better?” He asked and she nodded. He wrapped the towel around her and carried her in a bridal style to the bathroom, he helped her prepare her bath and turned to her. “You can take your bath now, if you need anything you can just call my name okay?” She nodded with a smile again and he walked out, Ashley sighed and slowly loosen the towel, she took her bath and felt a lot better after that,
“What?” Hayden asked and Bryan sighed.“Yes, she might not wake up.”“How many percent possibilities is that it will be successful?” Ashley asked and Hayden turned to her.“Oh, it's 50-50.”“Okay, I will do it.” “What? No.” Hayden yelled and walked to her.“Yes, I will.”“No, you are not, what if you don't wake up?”“What if I die anytime? Huh? Then we won't get to be with each other.”“But you might not wake up.”“Might Hayden, it's not certain that I won't wake up.”“I don't care, you are not doing it. I own you so I have every right over you.”“You can't tell me what to do and not do, I am not a child.” She yelled and he scoffed.“I don't think you know what being a mate is, you have to be submissive to me which means you will do everything I ask you to do.”“I am not some kind of an item or property you can control, I can do whatever I want. So what if I don't listen to you?”“I want you to listen to me.” He yelled.“Okay, this is getting worse. My bad.” Bryan muttered and watche
“Good morning beautiful.” Ashley heard in her sleep and felt soft kisses all over her face, she giggled as she slowly opened her eyes. She saw Hayden smiling at her and she chuckled before sitting up, he pecked her lips and she sighed.“Morning.” She replied and he nodded.“Go and get ready and come down for breakfast, I bet my baby is hungry already.” “Yeah, yeah.” Ashley laughed and he helped her up, she walked into the bathroom and he waited for her in the room. She walked out of the closet minutes later dressed in her clothes and Hayden smiled at her.“You aren't dressed in my clothes today.” He said as he stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Well, that is because I am back in my room which is filled with my clothes and not yours. I can't enter your room in this mansion because you never let me.” “Oh, do you want to see it?” “Seriously?”“Yes, I mean, it's not really that bad.” “Why don't you want me to see it exactly?”“You will find out but that will be after b
Bryan stared at the Princess as she walked angrily away from the throne room, he followed her and she glanced at him as she walked.“Stop following me.” She said with her voice starting to break and he ignored her.“Slow down Ariadne.” He said and she ignored him, she got to her room and tried to close the door but he got in forcefully.“What do you want Bryan?” She asked with her eyes starting to get clouded with tears.“You don't have to cry, I get the fact that you are upset but you really don't have to cry.” He said and she rolled her eyes which made a tear roll down her eyes.“I never knew you could cry.” Bryan chuckled and she glared at him.“Yeah, sorry. My bad.”“Please leave.”“No.” He replied with a frown and moved closer to her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and sighed.“Don't cry over something your selfish mother did.”“Yeah, you are right.” She muttered and wiped her tears, Bryan chuckled and creased her waist.“So, you hate me.” Bryan said and she smiled.“And yo
“Oh my God, you guys pulled it off really well, I never expected it.” Ashley said as Hayden held her tightly from behind. They were still in the garden and everyone was still celebrating the successful proposal.“Yeah, we did. All thanks to Ariande.” Hayden said and the Princess smiled happily.“I played my role right.” She said proudly and Ashley nodded.“Yes, you did. Thank you so much.” Ashley said and pulled away from Hayden, she walked to the Princess and hugged her.“I want a hug now.” Bryan said walking to her as she pulled away from the Princess. Ashley chuckled and hugged.“Now I get the reason why you don't want me to hug you, you don't want me to read your memories.” “Yeah.” He chuckled and hugged her again.“Hey, that’s enough.” Hayden said and pulled her to himself, Ashley laughed and hugged him.“I am so happy.” She giggled and he smiled at her.“Yeah, me too.” Hayden replied and kissed her.“Yes! Let's celebrate this!” The Princess yelled and the maids around smiled ha
After they both got their hair treated and styled, they did their nails and they both walked out of the saloon. They entered the chariot and Princess Ariande heard Ashley’s stomach grumble.“Hey, are you hungry?” She asked and Ashley nodded in response. “Okay, there is a restaurant close to this place, let’s head there.” The Princess said and she nodded. They got to the restaurant and Ashley smiled knowing it was familiar.“What's with the smile?” The Princess asked as they walked in.“Oh, Hayden has brought me here before but it was like a month ago.”“That's nice.” She replied and smiled, the people in the restaurant bowed as usual and the waiter and waitress treated Ashley and the Princess well. People left the restaurant for them and Ashley turned to the Princess and she shrugged with a smile.They both sat down and ordered for what they wanted, Ashley ordered a lot of things which surprised the princess.“Are you sure you want to eat all of these?” The Princess asked as they st
Ashley slowly opened her eyes and sighed, she frowned when she couldn't find Hayden beside her and she slowly sat up.“Great, you are finally awake.” She heard a familiar voice and she flinched when she saw the Princess walking out of her closet.“Princess Ariadne.” She called surprised and stood up immediately, she bowed and the Princess smiled.“Oh, please. Stop that.” She said and Ashley looked up at her.“Hmm, is... Is everything okay? Why are you here?” Ashley asked nervously and the Princess smiled at her.“Yes, dear. Come on, hurry into the bathroom, we have to get ready and why are you up so late?” She asked and Ashley stared at her surprised, she has never been this confused in her life.‘What the hell is going on? And where the fuck is Hayden?’ She thought and the Princess smiled.“I know you are confused but don't worry, am not going to hurt you. See? No claws, no fangs, just me in my human form.”“Okay. Am sorry, please where is Hayden?” She asked.“Oh, he put me in charge
“Open up.” Hayden said to Ashley and she slowly opened her mouth, he fed her brown soup and she frowned.“I don't want this Hayden, I really don't want it.” Ashley said and made an irritated expression.“But Lucas said you have to take it that it will help.” Hayden replied as he fed her another spoonful of the soup.“It's just brown soup, it's not helping.” She argued and he smiled at her.“Relax baby, as long as Lucas said it will help, I believe it will and besides, you were the one that wanted Lucas’s meal.”“Ugh, I thought he would prepare his normal delicious meals, I didn't know he was going to give me this recommendation.” She scoffed and he chuckled.The sorcerer walked to them and smiled at them, Ashley smiled back at him.“How are you feeling madam Ashley?”“Am feeling good, thanks.” She replied and he nodded.“Are you feeling any pain anywhere?” He asked and she shook her head in response.“Okay then, you are free to go to your room but if you feel any pain or you need anyt
“The Queen?” Bryan asked and she nodded.“Why the hell does the Queen wants you?” Bryan asked and she sighed.“Can you help me up?” She asked Hayden who remained quiet but kept staring at her.“Yeah.” He muttered and helped her up, she leaned on him and sighed.“She is mad at me because I am with her daughter’s supposed mate to and I also caught her son’s attention and much other stuff.” She explained and Hayden sighed.“Why aren't you saying anything?” Ashley asked Hayden and he turned to her, he stared at her for a while before wrapping his arms around her. “I really have nothing to say, I am just glad you are okay.” He said and kissed her. “So you are just going to let the Queen go?”“Hell no.” Hayden replied and pulled away from Ashley.“She is going to pay for making my beautiful babies go through hell.” He said and kissed Ashley’s forehead. “Oh, that reminds me. She knows am pregnant and she was planning on using my baby as a sacrifice by midnight.” “What? How did she know t
“Hayden, we have been searching for hours, the guards are starting to get tired, we need to go back.” Bryan said but Hayden ignored him and kept walking deeper into the woods.“The guards can go back, you are with me.” Hayden ordered and Bryan turned to the exhausted guards.“You can go back now.” He said and they all bowed.“Thank you, Sir Bryan.” They chorused and they all walked away, Bryan sighed and ran to Hayden.They kept walking but Hayden stopped when he saw an old house from a distance.“Hey, did you know there is a house in the deepest part of the woods?” Hayden asked and Bryan looked at it.“Yeah, kind of but only a few people know about it.”“Who does it belong to?” Hayden asked as they walked towards it.“It is abandoned now, it belonged to a poor family but they got moved into the city and that happened hundreds of years ago.” “Does the Royal family know about this place?”“I don't know but they should.” Bryan replied with a shrug.“Let's take a closer look.” Hayden sa
