“So? Does that make a difference?” He asked and she slapped him again. She was about to say a word to him but she decided not to, she walked out of the study room angrily and Hayden sighed. “Ugh, why the fuck did I say that?” He muttered and ran his hands through his hair.“Because you are such an asshole.” He heard Bryan reply and he knew he was in the room already.“Go away, Bryan.” He groaned and Bryan sat next to him.“I know you are just mad and jealous because you saw us together at her house.”“Ugh, can we not talk about that?” “We can talk about it.”“I always have the urge to kill you if we talk about it.” He muttered and Bryan chuckled.“I think you should apologize to Ashley for everything and tell her you love her and care about her.”“I don't love her, and neither do I care about her.” “Just admit it, you are not going to lose anything if you admit you love her.”“I don't, let's talk about Andrew. When did he get back?” Hayden asked and Bryan smiled.“He has been arou
Ashley kept asking herself if Hayden likes her till she got ready for the day, she walked down the stairs and found the living room empty. She shrugged and headed to the dining room, she got there and was surprised to see Hayden, Bryan, and Andrew having breakfast.“Hey.” Ashley said happily and they all turned to her.“Ashley.” Andrew called and smiled at her.“Good morning.” Ashley greeted them and Hayden ignored them.“Come sit beside me.” Andrew said and she nodded, she sat beside him and he helped her to dish her meal on a plate.“Oh, I don't eat these. I take veggies.”“Well, you can eat it for today.”“No, Hayden said I should always take veggies.” She said and Andrew glanced at Hayden.“Okay, my bad.” He chuckled and dished the veggies for her.“Thank you.” She muttered and started eating.“How was your night Ashley?” Bryan asked and she smiled.“It was fine.” She replied and he nodded.Hayden suddenly stood up and she stared at him as he walked away, she sighed and continued
Ashley remained on the spot and stared at the shattered glasses on the floor, she felt terrified and shook a little.“He really squeezed that till it broke.” She muttered and sighed.‘He must have been hurt’ She thought and decided to check on him.She followed him by heading towards the direction he took, she saw him in the lobby and she walked towards him.“Hayden, are you hurt?” She asked and held his hand, she paused seeing there was not even a scratch on it.“Didn't you hurt yourself?” She asked and he jerked his hand away from her.“What do you want?” He asked.“I just came to see if you are hurt.” “You don't need to.” “Why are you always like this? What the hell is wrong with you?”“There is nothing wrong with me, all I need you to do is just leave me alone.” He said and turned away from her, and Ashley fought the urge to cry.“Look at me, Hayden.” “What?” “Just look at me!” She yelled and he rolled his eyes before turning to her. “What? I hope I don't hear a pathetic sto
Ashley sat in her room and smiled as she texted Andrew, she has been texting him for hours and she didn't realize it was dusk already. The door to her room suddenly opened and she looked up to see two maids carrying trays, they place one on her table and one on her bed. She gave them a questioning look but they didn't reply, all they did was bow before walking out. She checked the time and realized it is dinner time already, she sighed and opened the tray, she was surprised to see a lot of meat there instead of veggies.“But Hayden told them to always prepare veggies for me.” She muttered and shrugged. The door to her room opened again and Hayden walked in, she felt surprised and happy but hid it.Hayden didn't say a word to her and he slowly sat beside her on the bed.“I didn't ask for this, they gave me themselves, I take veggies all the time.” She hurriedly said so she won't get on his bad side again, who knows why he showed up? “I know.” He replied and she nodded, her phone be
Hayden stared at Ashley as she slept, he found it weird and amusing as she hugged her pillow in her sleep. He checked the time on his phone and rolled his eyes. It's 9:00 am already, why isn't she awake?“Ashley.” He called and she didn't show any indication of waking up, he decided to leave her and continue staring at her. After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and screamed in fear, she rolled off the bed and Hayden sighed.“Good morning.” He said and he heard her scoff. “There is nothing good about the morning already.” She snapped as she stood up from the floor.“If you say so.” “You scared the hell out of me.”“I know.”“So apologize.”“For what?”“For scaring me.” “No, am not doing that.” He replied and stood up from the bed. “Get ready and meet me downstairs.” He ordered and walked out of the room, Ashley scoffed and rolled her eyes.“Always giving orders.” She mumbled and headed into the bathroom. Minutes later, she walked out dressed in a gown with her phone in her ha
“Hi, Ashley.” Bryan replied and waved back and everyone glanced at Bryan. “Can we begin?” Hayden asked and they all bowed, Ashley found it amusing and she giggled, everyone turned to her and she looked away embarrassed.“Hey, you don't have to feel embarrassed, you can do anything you want.” Hayden said and she smiled, Hayden held her hand and they both walked towards a chair. Hayden sat and Ashley sat next to him, he nodded at the members and they all sat down.An old man raised his hand and Hayden nodded at him to go on.“Who is she, sir?” He asked and Ashley smiled at him.“Hello sir, I am Ashley Smith and I am the one playing the role of the female lead.” She said happily and they all stared at each other confused.“Oh, God,” Bryan muttered and ran his hands through his hair.“Can she excuse us?” A man else asked. “Oh, of course,” Ashley replied and was about to stand up but Hayden held her.“Say it to her again, politely.” Hayden ordered the man and he stood up and bowed.“Can
Hayden and Bryan watched Ashley sleeping soundly on the bed, after she passed out she got admitted into a ward.Hayden kept checking if she is still breathing after every five minutes, she has been unconscious for more than an hour and he was starting to get worried. “She is fine Hayden, she is just sleeping.” Bryan said as Hayden checked if she is still breathing again. “I know.” He muttered and sighed. “What about the child's body?” Hayden asked and Bryan sighed.“She is in the morgue, she will be buried tomorrow.” Bryan replied and he nodded.“You could have saved her, why didn't you do anything?” Hayden asked.“I didn't do anything because she deserves peace, she deserves to rest. If I save her, her life will become abnormal and she is still seven years old, I felt like I will take her life away from her.”“You knew she was going to die?” He asked and he nodded.“Although, I was thirty percent sure she might survive but I guess she isn't meant to live.” Bryan replied and Hayden
“Wait, will you still say something hurtful to me after a while?” She asked.“No.” He muttered and trailed his hand down her body.“Are you sure about that? You are always like this to me for a while then you will be mean again.” “I won't.” “You promise?” She asked and stared at his face.“Yeah, I promise.” He replied and kissed her forehead. “So what are we? Friends? Co-workers? Best friends?” “What do you want us to be?” He questioned and played with her hair.“I don't know, depends on you.” She replied and he looked at her face.“You can tell me anything you want us to be.”“What if I want us to get married?” She teased and he chuckled without any expression on his face.“It sounds interesting. What do you want your wedding to be like?”“I wasn't serious about that, I was joking.”“Yeah, I know. Just answer my question.” “Hmm, okay. I have always dreamt to have my wedding like a huge party, different relevant and famous people will be present, it should be grand, there should
