Bryan walked to his teammates around him and Hayden watched them had tried to listen to what he is about to tell them.“Stop playing around, attack the girl.” He whispered but Hayden heard it, he looked around for Ashley but he couldn't find her. He suddenly saw her running around happily as she shot the paintball at some of them, he turned back to Bryan and saw his teammates weren't around him anymore.He suddenly heard Ashley scream and he ran to her, she was on the floor and she held her arm in pain.“Hey, are you okay?’ He asked as she creased her arm.“Yes, he just suddenly hit me with his shoulder.” She groaned and glared at the guy.“It is okay, you can quit if you want.”“No, I want to keep playing.” She said and stood up and ran away before Hayden could stop her.Bryan laughed and walked to Ha

Everyone you have seen in Empire will be there.” “Okay.” She muttered and bit her lip as she felt like asking more questions.“Will the party be fun?” She asked and Hayden sighed.“It is more like a royal party.”“So it won't be fun?”“I don't know Ashley.”“But will there be... ““Ashley.” Hayden called and she giggled knowing she was starting to annoy him.“Sorry, I am just so curious.”“And curiosity kills the cat.” “Not all though.” “Whatever, just stop asking dumb questions.”“Hey, my que

Ashley stayed in her room all day crying her eyes out, she knew Hayden was cold and mean but she never knew he could be so heartless. She didn't want to see him so she decided to have dinner in her room, a part of her hoped and expected Hayden to show up but he didn't. She felt disappointed and fought her tears, she fell asleep thinking about how hurt she is.It was another day again and Ashley decided to stay in her room, she took her bath and got dressed, and had breakfast in her room. She wasn't ready to see Hayden because she knew she might break down in front of him. She had lunch in her room too and she expected Hayden to show up but he didn't, she cried her eyes out again till she fell asleep. She woke up in the night and prayed Hayden will show up but he didn't. She decided to ask Lucas about him when he brings her dinner.Isn't he worried about her?He hasn't seen her for a whole day and he hasn't thought of checking up on her. Lucas walked into the room with her dinner an
Ashley spent hours in the hospital with Lydia and her mother, she felt at ease and she saw her mother getting healthy again. Her father showed up hours ago and he was happy to see Ashley. After spending a few more hours with her parents, she said goodbye to them and went to Lydia’s ward to spend more time with her.“Ashley.” Lydia called as Ashley braided her hair.“Yes, dear?”“Aren't you going to go home? It's past 7:00 pm already.” She said and Ashley glanced at the time on her phone.“Yeah, I know.”“It is dangerous when it's late, you should go home.” She added and Ashley sighed.“Okay dear, I promise to visit you soon.” “Okay, Ashley.” She replied and Ashley hugged her.“You can visit anytime you want though, Bryan visits me every day and buys me a lot of things.”“That’s great, he is such a good father.” Ashley said and she nodded happily.“Okay, I have to go now. Bye.” She said and pecked her forehead before walking out, Ashley headed out of the hospital and glanced at her ph
Hayden fed her till she was satisfied and she sighed, he used the telephone in her room and Lucas showed up to take the dishes away.“Lucas, I am sorry for snapping at you.” Ashley apologized as Lucas carried the tray.“It's okay ma’am.” He replied and she smiled, he walked out of the room and Ashley sighed.Hayden took off his shoes and lay on her bed.“What do you think you are doing?” She asked.“I am sleeping here tonight.” “What?”“Yes, I haven't been able to sleep for days now.”“That is none of my business, go and meet the old lady you fucked to help you sleep.”“Why are you still talking about it? Do you want me to fuck you?” He asked and she froze.“What?” “Yeah, do you want me to fuck you?” He asked and he turned her over, he held her hands up and pinned her on the bed.“What... What are you doing?” She stammered and he moved closer to her.“Do you want me to fuck you?” He whispered in he ear and she felt goosebumps all over her body as his breath was hot. He teased her an
“I like my things to be in order.” He said and she smiled.“So, am I like your thing?” “If you put it that way.” He replied and she chuckled.“What are the rules?” Ashley asked and he turned away from her and stare at their locked hands.“Like I said earlier, we are not dating, no feelings attached. All this is about is just being your first in everything so indirectly, we are in a relationship.”“Okay?” “Should I go on?” He asked.“Hold on, all of these are outside the scripts right?” “Yeah, sure.” He replied.“Okay, you can go on.”“Good, as I was saying, we are indirectly in a relationship and you have to follow my rules. Number one, you have no right to stare at any guy for a long time, if you feel like staring at someone, stare at me. Number two, you have to listen to everything I tell you, and lastly, no feelings attached.” He explained and she nodded.“It is okay.” “Great.” He replied.“I also have something I want to say.”“What?”“Can you be caring and nice? Don't say hur
“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
