Ashley POV As soon as I opened the door, I found Mr. Shane standing before me. Seeing him shocked me a little bit. Two hours before we had a meeting where he refused to give a final decision for an upcoming project, then what was he doing here? "Mr. Shane, I never expect to see you here. The hotel room is not a place where we talk about business.” I looked around, he was alone and drunk. The entire room was filled with empty cans and every molecule in the room had the smell of alcohol. "Business, you are not a fool who comes here to talk about business. You came here to warm my bed tonight. It’s my condition.” He said, My brows furrowed. His condition? I just came here after that note. Seemed someone deliberately did it just to trap me. I clenched my fist. "Sorry, Mr. Shane. You must be mistaken. I don’t want to sign any deal with you. And talking about warming your bed, have you forgotten that I am already engaged to Dylan Marcov? Don't you dare to touch me?" I warned
Dylan POVI had an important meeting at the restaurant Hotel Paradise. Everything went wrong when a waiter spilt the drink on my clothes just an hour before the meeting. The meeting was extremely important and I had no time to go back to the mansion and change my clothes. So I booked the luxury suite of the hotel and took a bath. I didn't want to smell like alcohol in the meeting room so I asked Fred to buy me a new pair of suits. The business partner came from abroad, he would probably leave tomorrow. The deal was crucial for Markov's mansion. I took a bath, but then I heard a click of the door. I sensed someone had already entered the room. My brows furrowed as I had to be alert, I had many enemies and it can be one of them. I dried my hair and slowly moved to the curtains.My heart raced as soon as I saw her there. The right person always meets you at the wrong time. I tangled my fingers into hers and kissed her fiercely. Her hands wrapped around my elbow, as I shoved my tongue
Ashley POVWhen my eyes opened, Dylan was already wearing a white shirt that tightly wrapped around Dylan’s body.He prepared an ice bowl to wipe my body again. I stared at him walking around tense and muttering something. His phone on the table vibrated almost a hundred times but he didn’t pay attention to it. “Give me your hand.” He said as he sat beside me, I turned my head but he held it anyway and wiped my body again. He checked the temperature and made sure it lowered. His tensed brows relaxed after staring at the thermometer for a while. “Phew.. Now it’s fine.” He said as he took out a night suit from the bag and wore me. That purple night suit was sexy, the same one I wore last time. I was embarrassed to see those tiny pieces of clothes on my body that barely covered anything. “Let me tie the strap here, princess.” He carefully tied the strap. I really loved the way he pampered me, but imagining him doing the same to Shina made me annoyed again. “I can do this..” I jerked
“Dylan will marry her." I heard a voice from behind, I was stunned by those words. My brows raised. It was Grandma Marcov who walked into the chaos while holding her stick. She looked sick and older than before. Ira grabbed her arms and led her way. "Grandma, what are you talking about?" Dylan walked ahead, he clearly did not agree with his grandma. "How can I marry her? Everyone knows whom I love" Dylan glared at me proudly.The way he spoke now, He didn't believe in the chaos that was happening in the Markov mansion right now. Even he didn't fall for the crocodile tears of Shina. Grandma stared at me with annoyed eyes. She looked pissed over something. I didn't see this hate in her eyes before. It was strange like something might have happened to her."For her benefit, she pushed Ashley into the rape. Such a woman is better not to take the position of daughter-in-law of Marcov." Grandma pointed at me, with gritted teeth. Her eyes carried hatred. "Grandma tried to understand. I d
Ashley POV"Doctor, how is Grandma? Is she getting better?" Dylan rushed to the doctor immediately. "The surgery is successful. But we need to keep her in observation, she is out of danger for now." Doctor said, "Thank you, doctor," Dylan said and wiped his face. It looked like a heavy burden was lifted from his heart. He seemed relieved and better. I held his hand. Dylan turned to me and hugged me tightly. "Thank god!" He muttered, "She would be walking in a few days. Don't you worry about it?" I said, He went to the glass window and watched Grandma lying on the bed. She was surrounded by heavy equipment and looked extremely weak. "Do you know it was her who accepted an orphan like me in the Marcov family? Everyone was against her but she accepted me anyway. She never let me feel that I was adopted. She loved me wholeheartedly." Dylan spoke, I rested my hand on his shoulder. I realised why Grandma meant him so much. He values the people who were with him when he had nothing.
Ashley POVI took my stuff to the car and drove myself to the factory in Southport. Shina transferred me to one of the oldest factories, whose production was low but maintenance was too bad. Hardly any air conditioner working there. I thought of giving a resignation, but I didn’t want to look like a coward who ran away from the problem. It’s better that I face it and I would definitely improve this factory. When I arrived at the office, I found no female workers were around. There were mainly middle-aged men who worked for more than decades. No wonder the productivity was extremely low here.They all stood and greeted me."You may sit down.." I gestured and went to the cabin. I quickly called the Manager of the industrial department. He entered, and I heard he was a middle-aged misogynist person who thinks women are no better at industrial processes. "Mr. Silver. Why are there no females in the office?" I asked him, He scratched his forehead. I stared at him with a suspicious gaze
Dylan stared at me with surprise, as I brought the glass closer to his mouth. He grabbed my wrist and stopped me. "What happened?" My gaze met his suspicious eyes. "Do you think I mixed something in it?" I asked. He leaned closer to me, and whispered in my ears."I would love to drink poison when you are serving me it." He said as he held the wine glass in his hand. He brought it closer to my mouth. I stared at him with a puzzled face."You are really thinking I poisoned it." I said and sipped it in front of him. Dylan instantly geabbed my neck from behind and tucked his mouth to mine.He sucked all the wine from my mouth, My eyes wide opened. He released my mouth as soon as he finished."Ahhh... It feels tastier when I drink it with your mouth." He said, I smiled and fed the drink with my mouth. He grabbed a wine bottle in his hand and poured it over my lips. The wine juice dripped down through my lips to my neck and streamed down between my cleavage. "Ahhh.." The cold wine runni
Dylan POV"Why would I marry an orphan like you? What if you are the product of rape?" Her words stabbed into my heart like a sharp dagger. How disgusting it felt when that cursed line fell out of her mouth. I never mind if the world said this about me, but Ashley.Why did it happen? She was the one who fought for me when people blamed my blood. She said it never mattered if I had no family, she called herself my family, my home. I poured the drink into a glass and drank it again. I wanted to forget everything that happened that day. I wanted to assume that this day had not come but the more I was drunk, the more everything flashed before my eyes. The moment we shared was a dream, she was in my arms, but then everything shattered. "Boss, you are drinking too much. You shouldn't drink more." Fred grabbed my hand and tried to stop me. But I snatched the glass back and shot him a glare."Shut up. You are not a boss here. I would kick you out if you did this again." I poured the whis
Alex POV"Marcov group had expanded its branch in China, Dylan Marcov gave a hint that he would slowly occupy the whole of Asia. Let's ask him about his further plans.""Well.." Dylan scratched his nose and laughed. "I never planned to expand business out of Europe, but it happened." "I heard the Markov group touching the sky since the day you married, what's the reason that you focused on Asia?""My elder son's birth was in Japan, so basically I wanted him to be rooted at his birthplace.""Are you planning this so that your elder son handles branches in Asia and another in Europe?"Interviewer asked."You can say that.." Dylan laughed at every question. My grip on the remote increased when Dylan Marcov's face appeared on the screen. My teeth gritted at his smile, if one person I held responsible for my condition, it was him. "This Bastard.." I slammed the remote on the floor. "What the fuck you did.. You broke the remote. Do you know how expensive it was? It's the second time you
She was upset over something, I could read it on her face. I should have postponed my business trip. But I didn’t do that, I should be tagged as a careless husband. “I am really sorry, Ashley. I never paid attention to your health these days. You even managed the projects of the company singlehandedly.” I held her hand. “I should be more cautious about it.”Ashley nodded. She pressed her lips and gave a thought. “Yeah. You should be cautious about wearing condoms in the office. Then this would not have happened.” She said and I was puzzled. For a moment I didn’t understand what she said, but when I realised, My eyes widened. I couldn’t believe that. She said I didn’t use condoms when we did last time in the office, does that mean she is pregnant? “What? What did you say?” I stared at her stomach. Her muscles were loose, I doubt if I was wrong. “I am pregnant again. Thanks to you, we are having our third baby.”Ashley said and I thought as if I was dreaming something. This was un
Ashley POV “Dylan.. I brought Adrian with me today..” I said while panting, Dylan stared at me with sharp eyes. “You are calling another man when I am inside you. That’s ridiculous.”Dylan thrusting inside me. His pace was smoother and deep. Every time he pushed himself into me, I felt like I was reaching heaven.“I am talking.. Ahh. About Adrian. Our second son. Have you forgotten it?” I asked him, I was moaning. But made sure my voice would not leave outside the cabin.“I know that. But he is still a man. No matter how old he is, even if he is our son. I don’t like any other name on your lips when I am with you.” Dylan thrusts hard.“Oh god. Which father gets jealous of his baby.” I said, I reached climax and was about to come. I clenched his elbow, my legs wrapped around his waist. His balls rubbed against my crotch and I came finally. “I have become so sensitive since Adrian was born,” I muttered. I came faster than I thought. “I am not pulling out..” Dylan said. I was stunne
"Really? Have you ever asked me why I tried to capture the Weber group when you were lost for more than twelve years?" He asked me. I raised my brows. I believed everything that Alex said without asking Dylan about it."I knew the reason," I said. "Because of competition. The Weber group was the biggest obstacle for your company."He chuckled and laughed loudly the moment I said that. He leaned closer as he entangled his fingers with each other."And who told you that?"I took a deep breath."Alex, but I have seen the shares you kept holding for many years. It was a big threat to the company." Dylan sighed when he heard that. He "When I tried to come with you on your grandpa's birthday. Your grandpa already knew about it. He beat me and insulted my background. He cursed me for being an orphan, but I didn't mind that. I just wanted to be with you. He asked me to stay away from you."I stared at him with a stunned face, I didn't know if such a thing happened. "I came home, disappoin
Dylan POV"This is the biggest diamond we have mined to date. It's 1800 carats, a human human-excavated diamond found in the last decade. It's one of the rarest diamonds on the earth as it had the largest stone cut."A merchant showed me the diamond I had been waiting for two days. I held the crystal in my hand. He made me wait too long but after seeing the crystal and holding it in my hand I could say that the time was worth wasting. "So you want to buy this?" Merchant asked me. I could have sent Fred or any other person to buy this but this merchant insisted he wanted to see a buyer. Even he was not ready to deal with any other person except the buyer."Do you think I just left my business, especially my wife and my children for two days for a time pass?"I asked him smirking.He nodded. The deal was done. I bought that diamond. It was our first anniversary tomorrow and I wanted to gift her something that she would remember for her life. This rare diamond resembles her, shiny, str
Ashley POVI was in a huge guilt when the truth came out right before my eyes. I recalled the time when Dylan told me he found the papers, he actually found the divorce papers that Alan sent to him."Why didn't I clarify things that time? Dylan didn't even know about my pregnancy. He never abandoned me or my baby." I was frustrated after knowing the huge mistake that happened. I decided to clarify everything today when Dylan gets back to the home. I was waiting for him at dinner time, It was past nine yet he was not around. The bell rang and I rushed to open it"Sister-in-law," Fred arrived at the door. I was shocked to see him alone. "Where is Dylan? Why is he not with you?" I looked behind him. Fred appeared a little worried."Boss went on a business trip to the United States for some work. He will return in three days." Fred informed me. I was stunned, Dylan didn't inform me about any such business trip. I tried to call him, but Fred interrupted me."He is in flight, Your phon
Ashley POVI initially denied it, but then I realised that Dylan needed me right now. He wanted me in his arms, he wanted to be all over me. I kissed him passionately, holding his face in my hands. The night appeared longer than it was. Dylan continued working from the office a few days later. We were living in a penthouse for a while as Maroc mansion was going into a huge transformation. The blast that occurred that day had already shaken the entire mansion, plus Dylan wanted to increase the security for children. I prepared mashed potatoes for Damien. He just started getting tiny little teeth and he was able to eat some mashed vegetables. There was a knock on the door, it was mid-afternoon and Dylan had no chance to come back. I opened the door and found a security guard was there."Mrs. Marcov, a man named Alan Weber is here. He wanted to see you now, but he had not taken any appointments." Guard said, as soon as I heard the name, a broad smile appeared on my lips. When I ca
Angela POVI watched my daughter leave in the police van. I fell on my knees and burst into tears. "Lilia... My daughter. Lilia.." I cried miserably. Jonathan came and held my hand."Why are you crying now? It was you who handed Lilia to the police. I told you not to do that, why did you do this then?" Jonathan asked me worriedly. When the fire broke out in the event, Dylan saved his family. I was restless. Lilia confessed that she was behind this disaster and she wanted to kill Ashley and her children, that's the reason she took this step. But she was too naive to understand this world. "If I had not sent her to the police, Dylan would have killed her. It's too dangerous if she is out. She is safe in prison."I said with terrifying words. I recalled how he bailed out the culprit of the fire in the factory and even paid a huge amount as a Fine just to make him disappear. That person appeared dead after a few months. "I didn't want Dylan to disappear my daughter from this world. S
Ashley POVI found the biggest nightmare of my life getting true right before my eyes. Fred and other bodyguards saved Dylan. He was taken to the hospital immediately. Damien had no burn but Dylan's arm caught fire. We were standing outside the hospital and waiting for the doctor to come out."Patient had minor burns at his elbow and the side of his arm. It's superficial, yet I would suggest taking care of it. So it won't cause any infection." Doctor said,I walked inside, Dylan was lying on the bed. He sat up and smiled when I went in. I couldn't stop my tears when I saw him. I hugged him tightly. I didn't know if it was because of my overwhelmed hormones or the fear of losing him, but I began crying loudly. "Hey, why are you crying? It's not like it's a big injury. I still have a working hand attached to my shoulder." Dylan said as he wiped my tears. "I was scared.." I said. When that big burning pillow was about to fall over him, for a moment, I thought I lost everything. "Don
