"Hello," she greeted me. In her face, it seems that she does not bother in my presence.
"Do you know me?" she nodded in response.
"The one that looks like my husband with the same name." I smiled at what she said.
"Can I seat?" I pointed next to her. She nods as an answer.
"Why are you crying? I won't say 'no', go ahead, sit down,” she said and I sat beside her.
"Why did you leave?" I asked and held her hands.
"I was sad and I thought of Charles."
"You should be told me so I can bring you here."
“I am afraid you will tell Asher about him. He doesn't know about Charles and I don't want him to know.” I sighed while caressing the hand.
"Why, would he be angry?"
“No, but I don't want to hurt him. Charles was formed in a bad situation and when Asher found out, he would be hurt.”
She protected my feelings. Even though she is not on her own she is still thinking of me.
"I am so
"I have good news for you." I am looking at Ley while waiting for her to continue."Spill it,""It's time to return the favor," she replied."What do you mean?" I ask and look at her and Eugene. He laid the papers in front of me."What is this?""Open it." I took the paper and was surprised at what I saw. "Paula has illegal business accumulated by that asshole Kranky," she said.“And oh, another witness said that they had a relationship,” Eugene added.“Wait, are you saying that Paula cheated on me?”"And you are not the father of her baby." I furrowed my forehead because of what Ley said. It doesn't sink into my mind what she said."Wait, wait, wait,""Don't be confused, Asher," Ley handed me the paternity test. “That's what people with money and with a lot of connections can do. 9 weeks before you can get a paternity test on a pregnant woman, and since Paula’s baby is 12 weeks
Hailey is still sleeping. Agatha and Eugene have also left because Ashley and Ley's children need to be together since Hera and William left. Hunter just stared at Hailey as he caressed his wife's face.“One thing I regret is that I believed Kyla back then. I know the first time I saw Ley she is special and I admit that I like her. But I was blinded by Kyla's sweet lies and chose to believe her rather than look at Ley's goodness.” Then he looked at me. "And the same shit repeated to my sister.""I'm sorry if I didn't protect her," I apologized."I want to be angry with you, but I can't because like me we are both blinded by lies so we hurt our loved ones," he said then stroked Ley's face again. “We have to be thankful, despite what happens and what we did, they still chose us. They still love us, and they chose to come back with us. Because they still love us.”I looked up to hold back my tears. I also saw him do that."I lo
Ashley is in the garden as she sits on the grass and is combed by the maid. I approached them and motioned the maid to leave."How are you?" She gives me a simple smile then looks away. I sat beside her then fixed her hair. "Do you want to eat?" She shook her head.“I want someone to talk to.”"I see, I am willing to listen," I said then stroked her hair. "Spill it.""I love someone and his name is Asher," she used to say this to me every day. But I still couldn’t help but be sad and at the same time, I am happy. Even though she doesn’t recognize me she still thinks of me."He loves me and I love him too. But I left him because I don't want to hurt him. You, do you love someone?" Then she faced me with a smile so I nodded."Yes, her name is Ashley and I love her so much." She smiled then touched my cheek."Same my name the one you love. You look like the one I love. Maybe that is why we met so we can see our lo
Ashley and I are in our room right now. I make some therapy on her and it turns out ok. She responded and soon she will recover. "Charles?" My next question. "My child," she replied without emotion. "Asher?" I asked again. "My husband," she replied again with delight in her eyes but no emotion. "Who are you?" "Ashley," "Full name." "Ashley Lewis Miller." "Very good. You're great," I said then kissed her on the forehead and took something from the bag. "And because you're good, your loved one has a gift for you," I pulled out a box and handed it to her. "Open it." She took it and open it. I gave her a 24k gold plated rose. It is a real rose flower inside but it is dipped in 24k gold. "This is nice. It's mine?" I nod then approach her and set beside her. "Yes, because you're improving every day." "Asher," she calls to me. "Hmph," I just answered then played with her hair. "W
ASHER my husband was on his knees crying as he begged me not to leave.It feels like my heart is pounding in pain but I shouldn't show him that I am not affected. But the truth is I wanted to hug him and comfort him.I will do this for our own good so that he will not get hurt more. I don't want to do this but I need to. I don't want him to get hurt because of what happened to me. I know he will be mad at me after this but I will accept the consequences. Or I want now right now is for him to be happy."Ashley, please don't leave me.""I am sorry, Asher, but my decision is final. Please set me free.""I love you more than anything. You are the woman that I love and I promise to be the last. If I did something, if I hurt you, if you didn't like something on me, please, forgive me. Ash, from now on I will tell you every move I make. I will let you know everything I do so that you will not be angry with me."I hold my tears because I don't want
=ASHLEY’s POV=Carrying the papers given to me by the Red Agency I nervously walked towards Asher’s office. Every step that I made was full of excitement and also fear because this is the first time we would meet after three years since I left.For the past three years, I went away and no one knew where I went even my father and my brother Hunter. Now I came back, not to go back to them or go back to my old life. But as a personal assistant to the CEO/OWNER of Happy Smile Hospital - Asher Miller my ex-husband who will now be my boss.I knocked three times while trying to calm myself down. Various scenes have entered my mind of the possible happenings so my heartbeat got stronger."Come in." I took a deep breath when I heard his voice before opening the door. I should have to calm myself.I felt all my organs go crazy when I saw him even though he was bent over. But I tried to calm down. When he looked up I saw how calm he is and did not
"As I said, she is my new PA," Asher simply replied."PA?" she asked with a laugh. "She's working? What a shame." My best friend who used to be close to me now looks like she's mad at me too. I can't blame her, whose sister wouldn't be angry if her faithful older brother leaves by the wife because of another man."Ow, I know why she's working here because Hunter disowned her because she goes with another man. But wait, why here?" She pointed at me but was looking at Asher. With every word, she utters the anger is obvious in her tone.She couldn't even talk or look at me."She was sent by the agency, she already signs the contract valid for six months with them," Asher didn't want to answer but he was forced by his sister, then looked at me badly."I can't fucking believe this, her face is thicker than any asshole's I've meet, whatever, by the way, I had dinner with Paula. Wanna join with us?" she asked. And now it looks like I wasn't here."
= ASHLEY's POV = I had just finished work and as usual, Asher and I were still out of the office all day unless it was absolutely necessary. I also fixed the schedule of his meetings and I also told him about the details so I said goodbye to go home. In the few days that we have been together, we are ok at work. Even though I know that he hates me and I can see that in his eyes, he doesn't open up about our personal problems anymore. Although his head quickly warmed up to me, I understood bec

"Where the hell is my sister?" Hunter gritted his teeth asking each one of us."Hunter, calm down, everyone is trying to find her," Hailey tried to let Hunter calm down.“How can I fucking calm down if my sister is missing and she’s not on her own. You hide this from me, Ley. You didn’t tell me what’s really happened to her.”"Ok, I have a mistake. I hid everything from you. But I didn’t want what was happening now. I am sorry, ok. ” Hunter calmed down then approached Ley and hugged her. “I understand her decision that is why I tolerated her. My mistake, I apologized,”“I didn’t mean to get angry with you. I’m so worried about my sister. I'm sorry.” Hunter hugs her tight and kisses her forehead.“Can we file a report now, that she’s missing?” Agatha ask."I call my friend, they will help us to find Ashley," I replied. “Hunter, I am sorry abo
“Good afternoon, doc,” The reception nurse greeted me."Give me Paula Collins record." She immediately handed me Paula's record so I check it.I looked at the medications prescribed to Paula one by one and then returned it to the nurse."Thanks,""Welcome, doc"I am disappointed after seeing Paula’s record. I can't find anything that can be used on her. Most of them are multivitamins and some medicine that are harmless to pregnant.God forbid me, but I hope the child does not survive after what happened.‘I’m sorry baby, but I can’t claim you after I know everything.’I clenched my fist while standing in the hallway and thinking of a way how I can remove Paula on my way. Maybe she's right, I am guilty right now because of what happened to Ashley. But I am more guilty thinking about why I involved myself unto her. If I know that she is the reason for this, at that time, I will surel
I look at Ashley and Agatha. They are in the garden while Agatha combs Ashley's hair. I am here in my library and I just peeked at them from here in my window. I smile seeing them both talking. Agatha smiled at me then pointed at me. Ashley looked up and Agatha whispered something then raised her hand.I see Ashley smiling while waving at me. She also gave me a flying kiss so I smiled. Her doing good. Day by day there is improvement in her.I heard my phone ring so I grabbed it from my pocket. A police friend who was in charge of Paula's case and that Kranky."Yes, bro?"“Bad news,” I arc my brow on what he said."What do you mean?""Paula Collins is free," I stand straight because of what he said."What the fuck, how did it happen?"“His lawyer filed a bill and appealed that what happened there is self-defense. Well, it’s clearly self-defense because it’s happening inside her home. That Polio did
I AM PREPARING Ashley’s meal when I heard the news on TV. There was a flash report appearing on the screen. I don't care about these kinds of news but there seems to be something that motivated me to watch it."Mark Polio or better known as Kranky entered the house of Paula Collins. The maid said that he introduced himself as Paula Collins' boyfriend." Kranky? That’s the name that Ashley called me which is she's afraid of. Paula, have they known each other?Suddenly my heart beat faster and I immediately approached the TV then turned up the volume and sat on the sofa for a while."The maid said the two argued. The maid allegedly heard Kranky say her son was dead to the woman he raped that Paula had ordered him to, more than two years ago." I suddenly let go of the mug I was holding and I didn't even know it was broken.What does that mean?"Kranky said he no longer face to face his son that he called Charles."Charles, is he, are the
