"See how shamelessly she is smiling,” Melissa said and I was stunned listening to her. “You must be very happy today. Am I right Diana? Sorry Heiress Ashley Weber?”Mellissa taunted me the same way she used to. My jaw clenched, they were again here to ruin my special day. Today I regained my memories after many years. “What brings you here? What do you want now?” My eyes tapered, Mellisa and Andy both had sore eyes as if they had cried too much. Vini was also staring at me angrily."You turned out to be an heiress. You are living a good life, but for this, you have spoiled our son's life. How could you be this happy when you make him suffer the most?"Mellissa spoke. The people gathered around us and started muttering. They again got the topic for gossip. "What are you talking about? Alex and I had divorced a long time ago. We had already finalised our divorce and were no longer connected. How can I spoil his life?"I asked her. “You even forget that he saved your life, give you a
Dylan POV“Take the car to the Weber group," I said and Fred stared at me in shock."What are you looking at? Why didn't you inform me that Alex went into a coma?" I scoffed. We would have taken him to the States for treatment. He had saved Ashley once, I never wanted to take his life anyway."Boss, it was your special day and I didn't want to spoil it for you." He said, I frowned when I heard that."You spoiled it anyway. Get the car to the Weber group.” I ordered.He nodded and moved the steering. The car pulled in front of the Weber group. “Boss, women love softness.” Fred gestured at the flower mart and smiled.“Do you have a girlfriend?” I asked him annoyingly. I had never seen him with a woman so perhaps he doesn’t have one.“I have a wife.” He said and my brows arched. “And six children.” My brows knitted at this. I went to the flower mart and brought a bunch of roses for Ashley. “Fifteen dollars.” He said and I handed the money. I entered the Weber group building, My gaze
Ashley POV The next morning I packed my luggage and walked out of the Weber house. Only Alan knew where I was heading. Grandpa would be tense if he found out about my office tour. Since I returned, he was too worried about me and didn't allow me to leave the city. “Isn’t your luggage too heavy for an office tour?” Alan asked me. “We were going to stay there for two days because I had no idea how long I needed to convince the CEO of raw materials.” “I am telling you why don’t you use our family chopper to reach there.” “I am not meeting him as a daughter of Weber, but just an employee of Weber group.” I said. "Alright. Call me if you need anything." Alan instructed. I nodded and I stuffed the luggage in the car. "Take care of Grandpa. Bye." I waved at him and drove to the werber group. It was five thirty but Lucas was nowhere to be seen. "Did he change his mind?" I muttered and called him. Fortunately he responded to my call. "Where are you, Lucas? I am near
Dylan POVFlashback I already heard her conversation with Lucas about buying raw materials. Their departure was the next morning so I planned everything strategically. By evening, I arrived in Hallfrey City and stayed in the Barrington Hotel. I bought this company and registered it under Fred's name. But Lucas was a big headache. Even after firing him, he didn't stop. I didn't want him to get in the same car as her but I knew Ashley was extremely punctual about time. I called Alan to help me with that.“Mr. Dylan. Have you called me because my sister is not picking up your phone?” He said. I pressed my lips into a thin line. Why does this brother and sister both have the same temper?"I would be thankful to you if you stopped your sister from going to Hallfrey City. Can you do that?" I said.If he was not my brother-in-law, I would have taught him a lesson for talking to me like this. "Why did you hit Alex? Why were you trying to hurt my sister?" Alan asked annoyingly. I scratche
Ashley POVWhen I walked out of the changing room, Dylan had taken off his shirt and was wearing only shorts. The room temperature was warm so the outside snowy atmosphere didn't affect him at all."What is this?" I asked while gesturing to his body. His perfectly placed abs and fit body lured me many times but I avoided looking at it."I sleep without clothes. Why are you acting like you don't know it?" He said. I pressed my lips. Two days sleeping without him and I feel it's new. Or I was scared that I couldn't act angry for long. He jumped on the bed and patted beside him."Come on, let's sleep." He spoke mischievously. My eyes narrowed. Sleeping? Will he actually let me sleep? "What's that? Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?" Dylan asked me with a puzzled face as his eyes darted over my towel. "I did," I said as I pulled my towel that exposed that sexy pink lace nightdress which showed my skin more than it should hide. The lace at the hem and chest area made it look ext
Dylan POV"Boss, we caught a man who was disguised as a traffic officer last evening," Fred informed me. I knew that my men would catch him within a few hours. I didn't care to capture him last evening because I didn't want to scare Ashley off. I knew they couldn't run away from the city on their own feet. "Alright, just lock him up in the office basement and don't touch him until I tell you to do so.""Why boss? Didn't he want to harm Miss Weber? We should teach him a lesson." Fred was aggressive. "No, I need to handle him in my way," I said and Fred agreed.I didn't want to make the same mistake I did with Alex. Sometimes we need to use a person's weakness against them rather than giving them physical pain. It breaks them deeply and gives them such a wound that they are never able to be healed by it. I would make this person spill everything about his employer."And what about Lucas? What did you find about him?" I deliberately sent Lucas with Fred. He was stuck with Ashley like
Ashley POV"It's Lilia's stupid game. She wanted to lock you up there and tried to seduce me. She is a teenager but her action could have harmed you badly."Dylan said, and I couldn't agree anymore. The moment I was locked up in the bathroom, I thought I would die there. My head was fizzy, because of the drug. It’s all Lilia's doing. "How are you going to handle this? ?" I asked him. She seemed obsessed with Dylan. "We would talk to her about it. She needs to understand her mistake. We can't just ignore her actions. I can't let anyone harm you in any way."Dylan’s intentions were determined. Seemed he could not easily spare Lilia just because she was his foster sister.We arrived at a mansion after a five-hour journey. Grandma was already waiting for us in the living room. As soon as we went in, she approached us."My children, Are you okay? We heard the snowfall was heavy." Grandma said worryingly. Her wrinkled eyes darted at us and relieved.I poked my elbow at Dylan."See, your r
Ashley POV"Guards, Just kick her out of this house. Also contact the cops to investigate her, right now.” Dylan called security guards and talked to them. Listening to this chaos all the family members from the Marcov family gathered. Including Angela and Lilia. They were stunned to see the girl at the door with her luggage. "Did she come here to stay?" I muttered to myself while staring at that big luggage in her hand. She was not reacting but sat steadily over her trolley. She looked more confident and tried to break me a little. But I was relieved that Dylan didn't come to her rescue. Instead, he was ready to kick her out. Obviously, it was Dylan who recognised me first, he informed my family about me. He knew me when I didn't know about myself. I decided to take the things in my hands and chase her away. "You are not welcome here. You are just another girl who came here to claim what is mine. But I can't let you do this." I grabbed the elbow of that girl and was ready to thr
Ashley POVI crumbled the pregnancy report that I was hiding inside the quilt. The conversation I had with Alex in the morning echoed in my mind. The question put me in another haze. "Do you know who was behind the fire that occurred in the Weber group factory?" Alex asked me. My eyes tapered at his words. How can I forget that fire which almost burned the factory and led to the injury of many employees and the death of one?"You won't believe it was Dylan Marcov behind it," Alex smirked. "Shut the fuck up. You said enough." I said while holding my gown. I almost stumbled upon it after listening to his nonsense."You might not believe it now, but you will come to know the truth. Your husband was full of revenge that he would not see what's wrong and what's right.” I didn't want to believe anything he said. Our last meeting already caused a nuisance in my life. I could not think Dylan would be the one who set fire when I was dying to set up the new factory. I had worked hard for it
Dylan POVHer face turned pale at my request. She stared at my face blankly. "Go and get your stuff here.." I said she was still not moving. "Mrs. Marcov, have you listened?" I asked her again. She fumbled and rushed to her cabin.I sat on my chair back and gathered her stuff. She had no idea that I was always watching her, no matter what. The glass partition between us was see-through from this side. On the days when she changed the measurement of the floors in the structure of towers, I sent another mail to Chinese investors and advised some changes in it."Come and sit here." I gestured at the chair, Ashley walked inside and did as I said. I smiled at her obedience. "What do you want me to do?" She opened the file and asked me. "Develop another structure against the raw one?" I said. Her brows raised. "What? It will take almost a week to develop it again. Are you taking revenge on me?" She muttered.It wasn't revenge but she would work with me for one week and I was excited abo
I pulled the curtains of the window and found him standing at the corner of the road. He leaned over his Rolls Royce and lit a cigarette in his mouth. His eyes continuously tried to gaze at the balcony. My heart pounded at his sight. How his single gaze had a tendency to move my heart this fast. I pulled the curtains back and went on the bed. I lay back and tried to sleep."Why is he here? What was he trying to prove?" I muttered and slept back. "Will it change everything he did?"I thought he would leave if I ignored him. But as the time passed I found him standing at the same place. Almost tens of cigarette buds lie beside it. I got back to my bed, it's been three hours. But Dylan was still standing on the road. "Just leave. Why are you here?" I texted him back. "I won't leave until I see you." He sent me several emojis followed by it. I walked into the balcony, My body was chilling. The autumn winds are blowing faster than they should be. I rubbed my elbow, and stood there. "
Ashley POV"Why did you come back?" Grandpa asked me, I breathed heavily. Alan was standing there too. "Grandpa, please trust her. She is not someone who acts recklessly. It must be something serious." Alan said. I speechlessly stood before them wearing the same wedding outfit. I didn't know how to explain, but whatever Dylan did was not worth forgiving."Serious? What is she doing seriously? She ran away from her wedding night. She did not even think about the reputation of both families. It would ruin everything in both houses." Grandpa coughed, he almost trembled, Alan held his shoulder tightly. I was scared, I didn't want to give any more pain to Grandpa."Alan, please take Grandpa back to his room and give him his medicine," I said, worryingly. Alan nodded and did as I said.I knew whatever we did could ruin everything, but what about everything he did before? What if Marrying me could also be one of his plans? I recalled everything he did and the extent he went to destroy our
Dylan POV"Ashley.." I rushed to the car but she was already gone. She didn't give a glimpse of me but left. I dug my phone out and called Ashley several times."Please, pick up my phone. Ashley. Please." I muttered under crushed teeth. I didn't know our wedding would begin with such trouble. I had no idea that I had to spend my wedding night regretting something I did in the past. "The number you have dialled is currently switched off.." She turned her phone off. How could I explain it to her? But what's there to explain? I did it and it was true. I must say it was one of my acts when I was not thinking with my heart but fully thinking with my mind. Twelve years ago, when I was just an orphan and met Ashley, I didn't even know it would be my last time to see her.**Flashback"Are you going to miss me?" I asked Ashley, I heard she was heading to her Grandpa's birthday party on the cruise and probably would see me after three days. I was crazy about her and three days would be mor
Ashley POV"I told you, I didn't know about it. And wasn't it you who refused to divorce me and wanted me to be whore of Dylan? You made sure I would not get a wedding or a family." I said. I was annoyed with Dylan at first but later Alan explained everything to me. Dylan didn't punish Alex because of Divorce but his intention. Alex began laughing loudly. "So he made up another story. You are still very naive Ashley. I thought you were changed, you became a powerful woman but you are still someone who can get fooled by anyone."Alex taunted me, I gritted my teeth and grabbed the flair of my gown. Initially, I felt pity for him but I realised some people deserve no mercy. "If you just came to congratulate me, then I will thank you. You can leave now." I said and started leaving the corridor. "Dylan Marcov, the tycoon of Markov Industries. Top-ranked billionaire in Forbes list. A major invisible shareholder of Weber group. Who bought 97 per cent of shares till now." Alex said and I
Ashley POV"Can't I come to see my wife? I have been missing her since morning?" Dylan said, I raised my brows."You promised me that you would let me stay here until the day of our marriage. So what happened?" I was puzzled but then I laughed to see him confessing that he missed me. I want to stay here and cherish my childhood memories. I didn't have many but still, they were enough for me to spend a week recalling them. But I was stunned to see Dylan in my room."I didn't come to take you back, You are going to stay with me for the rest of your life. So I think I can bear the pain of the week." “So why did you come here huh?” I asked folding my hands. “Come and sleep with me.” He patted on my bed, and his expressions were quite naughty.“No, I said no sex until we get married. Can you?” I asked him. He first refused but then he agreed. He got up from my bed."Alright, I came here for some important work. Zina Informed me that you brought Samson's file with you."He said and I rec
Dylan POVAshley walked down the stairs. It's been more than a week since Grandma's funeral and I already started preparing for my wedding with Ashley. People might call me desperate for that and ask me to wait for a few months, but I was. I was desperate to call her officially mine. She was the only person whom I was not ready to lose and I wanted to tie her with that sacred bond.The night suit was still wrapped around her waist as she hugged me from behind. "When did you wake up?" She asked me, it was a holiday and I thought she would sleep late."When you were sleeping like a baby," I said, she started leaving and I held her hand."Do you forget anything?" I gestured at my cheeks. She looked around. My bodyguards were behind me and Fred was sitting on the chair before me. Aunt Angela and a few relatives were around."What?" She hesitated a little bit as her eyes went around the crowd. "We are in the living room."She said, embarrassing.I wrapped my hand around her waist and pu
Ashley POVWe both had tea while sitting together. Dylan was a little relaxed right now. But there was still grief appeared on his face."Did you sleep well last night?" I asked him while holding his hands. He nodded as he took a sip of tea."Thanks to you, I can sleep well." He said, his hands rubbing the back of my palm."You know, Fred managed to get the footage from the ship where Grandpa celebrated his birthday. But it was too blurry to find out anything."He said with an upset tone. "What?" My brows furrowed. "Yes, and I want to accompany you every moment. I regret that I wasn't with you back twelve years ago."Dylan said with a regretful tone. Seemed he was guilty of that. And that's the reason he wanted to keep me with him every time. "When you were with me every time, why didn't you board a ship?"I asked him. That's what puzzled me the most. I handed him the invitation, I wanted him to come with me. But I was disappointed that he wasn't there."Something happened, and I m
