Chapter 25Ashley Gustavo POVI had a long and weird day at work. I could barely concentrate as the memories of last night kept popping into my head every damn time, and I couldn't help but blush. I thought I was going to be filled with regret today, but waking up this morning, I felt like the happiest person on planet Earth. Recalling the feelings I had last night, I couldn't help but want more of it.It was finally closing time after my long day at work, and I got ready to leave."What are you up to tomorrow, Ashley?" Lisa asked me as she packed up her bag, ready to leave."Are you leaving too?" I asked her surprisingly, and she nodded."Harley is taking over. So, do you have plans later?" She asked me, and I slowly nodded."I'm not sure yet," I replied to him, and she nodded."Alright. I was wondering if we could hang out together tomorrow since I'm not coming to work. I learned you are not coming to work tomorrow," She said to me."Oh... I'm not sure yet, but I'll let you know ton
Chapter 26"It's really for me?" Asher smiled subconsciously, feeling a sense of pride. He was always questioning his attitude toward her, why he was this nice to her, he knew that it was not what he was painting it to be, this was not him just being a nice person, but fuck! Seeing the excitement on her face, he couldn't be more than happy that he did this."Hmm. Do you like it?" He asked, and Ashley scoffed as her mouth fell agape."I love it... Thank you so much... Thank you so much," She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly as though her life depended on it. What did she do to deserve this kind of treatment from him? She asked herself, but could not come up with anything, so she just assumed that she was just lucky or maybe he wanted something from her, but on second thought, she knew that it couldn't be the latter."If you are grateful, why don't you treat me to dinner, hmm?" He raised his eyebrows as he tucked his hands inside his pockets, and she quickly nodded h
Chapter 27Ashley Gustavo POVMy cheeks flushed as I glanced at Asher for the umpteenth time on our way home, and I couldn't help but admit that my heart fluttered just at the thought of him. Am I falling for him? I had to ask myself because I didn't understand this feeling deep inside me."He is a perfect man for you, so it's fine to have feelings for him," I told myself, and strangely, my subconscious mind didn't remind me that I was married to his brother before. Well, one thing I was still curious about was the old Asher. He was a strict young man I've always seen from afar, but he was different now that I was close to him, but then, I didn't want to be fooled. He couldn't have changed his way because of someone he had no feelings for, right?"When you get to that bridge, you will cross it. Don't be too curious," I told himself and breathed out briefly."So, what should we have for dinner? We would've eaten back there, but you said I should make food at home instead. What would yo
Chapter 28Ashley Gustavo POVMy heart raced uncontrollably as he held me in his arms. I couldn't deny the fact that I wanted him, my heart was calling out for him, and my pussy was craving him. Am I in love with him? I asked myself for a moment, as I stared into his sexy eyes as if the answer to my desperate question was written in them, but all I saw was his desire.It felt like it was taking forever as he slowly leaned close and claimed my lips. He kissed me briefly, and just when I wanted him to do more to me because I was already losing my mind, he pulled away and stared into my eyes."I'm proud of you, Ashley," His voice came out hoarsely, and my heart once again flustered. I felt nothing but joy. I was glad that I impressed him even though it didn't make any sense because I didn't have any reason to."Every good action deserves a reward... Do you want yours?" He took his right hand to my cheek and rubbed it gently, his eyes never leaving mine. All the answers I needed were alre
Chapter 29Ashley Gustavo POV'I'm worshipping your body' Just as he had told me earlier, he was really doing it. He was taking his time, kissing my legs and licking them. Is he not grossed? I asked myself, but fuck that! It didn't matter. What mattered was the fact that I was enjoying this and didn't want it to stop.My heartbeat increased rapidly as he trailed his tongue up my inner thigh. I threw my head on the wall and cursed silently with my eyes shut. My legs grew weaker with every second that passed by until they could barely carry me up anymore, but I still tried to hold my balance."Fuck!" I cursed out loudly and threw a punch at the wall behind me when I felt his cold tongue teasing my pussy lip."Pl... please don't... don't do...that..." I cried out as I sank my fingers into my hair and pulled it a bit aggressively. I didn't know what I really wanted. Whether for him to continue or stop, but the only thing I knew was this pleasure that was overwhelming me. I felt like I was
'There is no need to do that, Alexa. It's not worth it' she had told herself earlier and just left the place without Xavier noticing her.Alexa lies on her bed, looking up at the ceiling. She had been inside her room for hours, yet wasn't planning to leave anytime soon. She had thought she would feel better if she tried to get her mind off what happened, but nothing was working out well for her.'Miguel' As that name played in her head, she subconsciously stood up from the bed and strode out of her room. Who knows, maybe seeing him would make her feel better.She gave it a second thought as she stood in front of his room minutes later. Was she doing the right thing seeking her brother-in-law's attention? She asked herself, and just before she could provide an answer to the question, the door opened, revealing the shirtless Miguel. Her heart missed a beat, and as her eyes came in contact with his hard nipples, she felt this not-too-strange sensation. Alexa quickly averted her gaze and
'Chicken and waffles here''Chicken fried steak''Roasted chicken and fried rice''White rice and stew''Scrambled egg with cheese' It felt like Alexa was about to lose her mind, running around the restaurant serving customers. She was only there for barely an hour, but was already worn out and felt like she was going to pass out anytime soon. The only thing she could look forward to was getting some rest.Alexa had just served the last customer and was intending to go rest when someone called her attention again."What the hell is this?" The angry voice of one of the customers made Alexa almost jump out of her skin, and she turned in the direction of the voice to see a young man standing on his feet with anger written all over him.Alexa went rushing toward the table as fear gripped her. Did she mess his order up? The only question she kept asking herself as she finally stopped in front of the man who was in his late forties."What is the meaning of this nonsense?" Alexa's heart left
Chapter 32Ace's eyes narrowed in shock as he gazed at the white paper he was holding, his mouth hanging open. For the next few minutes, Ace tried to digest what he was seeing, but nothing was adding up as it was very confusing to him. How could Ann be pregnant for him?Slowly, he raised his gaze from the paper and looked at Ann who was seated in front of him."What is the meaning of this, Ann?" His heart pounded hard in his chest, causing his heart to quiver as he spoke to Ann. This couldn't be happening, at least not now that he was still in this stupid mess."What do you mean by that? You are seeing the test result. It shows that I'm pregna...""How can you be pregnant? What the fuck does that even mean, Ann?" Ace dropped the paper on the table and slammed his hand on it, getting the attention of a few people in the restaurant. He had gotten a call from Ann the previous night asking them to meet this morning and he was left with no choice but to show up because she said that it was
Chapter 96Ashley Gustavo POV Nothing feels good more than having the one you love by your side. After Asher confessed to me last night, I could barely sleep. The pain in my shoulder suddenly disappeared and I was overwhelmed with excitement all through the night. Asher wasn't in the room when I woke up earlier, but the guard told me he went out early in the morning and would be back later.Instead of the maids, I volunteered to make breakfast for Asher's Mom and sister. After we all had breakfast together, I left for Asher's Mom's room since she asked me to come see her in her room.I took a deep breath when I arrived in front of her room before I knocked on the door and she ushered me in. I twisted the doorknob, pushed the door open, and peeked inside briefly before I finally walked inside. There she was, sitting on the bed with a smile on her face."You are here..." She held my hand and made me sit beside her on the bed. Earlier, I wore something to cover the injury so she wouldn
Chapter 95Ashley Gustavo POVAsher sat me on the bed after he carried me inside the room."Get me a first aid kit," He said to one of the guards and he left immediately to get it."Are you ok?" He held my hand and examined my bleeding shoulder, but I only forced a smile and nodded. "Yes, I'm fine. It's just a scrap. I'll be fine after it's treated," Deep inside me, I was freaking out. It wasn't my first time seeing bullets or experiencing a gunshot scene, but it was my first time being the victim. Who could that person be? Why was he or she aiming at me? Who could've wanted me dead?The door burst open and Ann barged inside."Ash... Are you ok? What happened?" Ann freaked out as she squatted in front of me."I'm fine. I just bumped into the doorframe and got hurt," I forced a smile, and she breathed out in relief."I was so scared. I thought something happened to you," she whined."You should be careful next time, please,""Hmm. I will,""I will take care of her. You should get some
Chapter 94Ashley Gustavo POVIt felt so good to have dinner with Asher's Mom and sister. Today, Asher was extremely happy. More than he had always been. After we were done eating in the dining room, I went back to the room before Asher. I was getting ready to go to the bathroom when Asher walked inside."Hi!" I said to him awkwardly, and he hummed as he sat on the bed."Come here," He patted his lap for me to sit on it, and I rolled my eyes."I'm going to bath...""Don't make me repeat myself," He hushed as he held my hand and pulled me to sit on his lap."Ash...""Shhhh!" He closed his eyes and sniffled my arm as he slowly rubbed his hand gently against it, and my heart fluttered."Do you think I'm a terrible man?" He stopped and asked out of the blue moon as he looked at me, and I scoffed."No, you're not. Why do you ask?" "You are not going to think about it before answering?" He looked at me and asked."Because there is nothing to think about. You are not a terrible man, and I
Chapter 93Ashley Gustavo POVI sat on the edge of the bed and checked the wall clock for the umpteenth time. Ever since Asher left the house, he hasn't been back yet and I couldn't help but get worried about him. Did something bad happen to him out there? What exactly was happening?I reached for my phone and dialed his number, but it was unavailable and this got me even more worried.I stood up from the bed and advanced toward the door. The guard from earlier was right in front of the room when I opened the door."Do you need anything, ma'am?" I shook my head and sighed."Have you been able to reach Asher? Why is he not back yet?" I asked him worriedly."Boss is fine and will be back. I think he has something to take care of," Came another confusing reply yet again. What exactly does he always have to take care of? Just what the fuck was it?"Hmm... Can I go to see my sister?" I asked, and he nodded."Sure. Her room is right opposite yours," He pointed to the room in front of us, an
Chapter 92Asher arrived at the hospital minutes later and parked roughly at the parking lot. He alighted from the car and walked briskly into the hospital.Lisa gasped as soon as he walked over to the reception."You must be here for Ashley. She took the day off. I can call her for you if you...""I'm not here for her. Is the doctor around?" He cut her off impatiently, and she quickly nodded."Yes, he's around today. Do you have an appointment with...""I need to see him. I don't need an appointment to. Where is the way to his office?" He cuts her off, and she blinked her eyes a few times."Over there," He didn't wait for her to give all the directions before he hurried off where she had pointed.Asher walked restlessly down the walkway a few minutes later until he was finally able to locate the doctor's office. He stopped and knocked on the door."Come in," He pushed the door open and walked inside. Doctor Henry was seated behind his desk as usual with all of his attention fixated o
Chapter 90Asher pulled over in front of the warehouse and alighted from the car. He looked at the divorce papers in his hand and breathed out before he proceeded into the building where Lucas and Amelia were already waiting for him."Where is he?" He asked as he walked inside briskly."This way, boss," Lucas led the way while he trailed behind him. They arrived at an empty tattered room where Mr. Brown was tied to a chair."Hmph! I knew it was you. How dare you abduct me?" Mr Brown huffed angrily and spat out out as soon as he saw Asher."Leave us alone," Lucas left immediately after Asher ordered. Asher turned to him with a deep frown on his face."I will go straight to the point, Mr Brown..." Asher paused then walked over to the empty chair in the room and went to sit in front of him."If you want to get out of here alive, then sign the divorce papers, and let's end this once and for all," Asher offered, but he scoffed."What makes you think that I'm going to sign those papers?" "
Chapter 90Ashley Gustavo POVWe stood in front of the hospital for a few minutes until Asher arrived in his car and we walked over to him."You didn't have to pick us up by yourself. I understand that...""You can't go home, Ashley. I'm moving out of the house to a new place," I pulled a puzzled look."What do you mean?""I prepared a house where you'll be staying. Come on," He opened the front door for me and I hopped in confusingly. He hopped in the driver's seat and the ride began."Is everything alright, Asher? Did something happen back at home?" I was forced to ask curiously on our way, but he only told me that everything was fine even though I saw through him that something was wrong."Just calm down. Maybe he doesn't want to talk about it," My subconscious mind told me, but I couldn't help myself. I couldn't just stay calm in this situation, right? Many thoughts ran through my mind as I kept glancing at him. Could it be that someone was after him? What exactly happened?It too
Chapter 89"Excuse me? Who are you? Are you looking for someone?" Asher looked up at the door swiftly when he heard a feminine voice from outside. "Uhm... Sorry, I got the wrong room," He recognized the voice immediately to be Amelia's but told himself that it wasn't possible. She was at home when he left earlier, so how could it be her?He had intended to stand up and go confirm but changed his mind when he looked down at Ashley who was sleeping peacefully on his lap. When he walked inside earlier, he had found her sleeping on the sofa uncomfortably and managed to her head on his lap."Maybe it's not here," Even though he was convinced that was Amelia's voice, he didn't have a choice but to dismiss the thought, reminding himself that no way Amelia could've followed him down to the hospital in the middle of the night.Brushing all the thoughts to the back of his mind, he looked down at Ashley and couldn't help the smile that formed on his lips. Even though he was going through the to
Chapter 88'We found him, boss' Asher was seated on the chair beside his Mom's sickbed when his phone beeped and he read through the text that had just been sent to him by Lucas. "Is something wrong?" His Mom asked him worriedly seeing the look on his face as he stared at the screen of his phone, but he looked at her and smiled."No... Everything is fine," "Hmm," She slowly nodded.He held her hand and squeezed it gently. No matter how gentle he was to her, to him, he wasn't doing enough. He had wronged this woman so much and nothing he did that could change that."Son... About the woman I told you..." He quickly removed his hand from hers and straightened his back."Mom... I'm married, and I love my wife. I won't get married to someone else," Mrs Brown's eyes dilated in shock upon hearing that from her son."You are married? When?" Shock was written all over her face as she searched his face with her eyes for an answer."You will meet my wife soon. You will like her, trust me," Ash
