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
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. "
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
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
Ashley POV"Thank you, it's beautiful." I closed the door after thanking the delivery man for the fresh flowers that had just arrived. I wore the beautiful flowery frock and the small diamond necklace Alex had bought for me. It was our third anniversary, and I was bubbling with excitement. Finally, I was ready to confess how much I loved him. I spent hours preparing his favourite dishes, making sure everything was perfect. Now, all I could do was fix my eyes on the door. I was eagerly waiting for him to come home.Finally, the wait was over. The doorbell rang. My heart skipped a beat as I rushed to open it. Alex walked inside, loosening his tie. He looked exhausted, likely from the important meeting with the board of directors. I still hoped he would notice the effort I had put into everything."Welcome home, Alex!" I greeted him cheerfully, staring at his face for a reaction. "Hey," he muttered without looking up from his phone.My heart sank a little, but I tried to stay positive.
Ashley POV I was walking down the street. I still had no idea where would I go. My stomach growled, I had barely eaten anything since morning. Suddenly, my head began spinning. I felt like I was going to faint. Before anything like that could happen, I rushed to the family hospital. “Diana, Congratulations. You’re pregnant,” Doctor Shelly announced with a warm smile but I left speechless. “What? Are you sure?” I stammered, my mind reeling. I had clearly missed my period, but I’d been so caught up in the chaos of life that I hadn’t paid any attention to it. She turned the screen on and showed me. “Look here… This is your baby,” she said, pointing to the tiny dots on the screen. They already touched my heart. It had been three years since my marriage to Alex, and we had never thought of something like this. I could already imagine a baby playing in Alex's arms. I rushed home in the middle of the night, desperate to tell Alex about my pregnancy. I called his number, but Secretary
Ashley POV "Miss Diana, this is your food. Make sure to eat healthy." The nurse placed the food on my table. Even though it's been 24 hours since I woke up, I still had no appetite. I held the spoon and began eating when all of a sudden an old man entered the ICU room. I was scared to see him; he might have been around his late seventies. Two women followed him inside and they closed the door. He appeared so desperate. "Take her inside." He gestured towards the girls. They set aside my food and pulled me out of bed by holding my hand. "Who are you? Tell me who you are?" I started screaming. Those women dragged me into the changing room and undressed me. I was stunned, thinking something worse was ready for me. They turned me around and looked everywhere at my back. They started scratching my back, even using some kind of laser thing on my body. I was scared because even though they were female, they were as powerful as men. "Can you tell me what's going on? You are troubling me,
Alex POV I stopped the car at the airport, Vini's flight was a bit delayed today. The first thing she wanted to do after arriving here was to see me. "Alex..." She stood in front of the car. I barely had time to step out before she wrapped her arms around me in a tight embrace. "We would have missed the party if you come an hour late," I told her as we got into the car. "That won't be possible. I am a daughter of Weber, it's the first event of the Weber family. How could it start without me?" She said blowing her nails. "How was your vacation?" I asked her, she was excited about her trip before leaving. "Yeah! I enjoyed it but I missed you." She folds her arms into mine. I smiled. Tonight, we were heading to a party at the Weber house- a rarity in itself. The reason for the party has not been revealed yet. But something might be special. Even my engagement with Vini was low-key. "Where are you taking me?" Vini asked. “Not just yet. We’re stopping by my place first to pick

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
