Ashley POV"What happened?" Dylan arrived from the office and already found the chaos in the living room. Lilia began crying even more as soon as she saw him. “Why is Lilia crying?” Dylan enquired. "Dylan, Diana taking out grudges on me. She insulted my friends and chased them away." Lilia began crying and told it to Dylan.She didn’t tell him that I twisted her arms because it would reveal that she was going to slap me. Dylan watched my face in disbelief. “I have seen her friends walking out of the mansion angrily and crushingly. Why did you do that?” Dylan wasn’t cold but he wasn’t polite either. As if he had already heard her friends muttering about me. I couldn’t deny it either."Dylan, they were taking Lilia to the nightclub. You know what happened with Lilia, that boy could use this opportunity and trouble, Lilia, again. What if she got drunk with her friends and that boy blackmailed her again? It's better if we go with her instead of her friends." I said, Dylan's face insta
Ashley POVI wore the yellow satin gown and walked out of the changing room. "Wow Miss Diana, you looked amazing." The makeover artist praised me. I smiled at her and watched my reflection in the mirror. I realised I looked more beautiful than I imagined.Even though I had not tried this dress in the department store, It fit me well."Alright, Let me give you a little glow-up." She said and I rested on the chair. She applied foundation and light blush on my cheeks. "The party is huge. Is anything special? Mr. Dylan had invited every famous guest. Everyone wondered what the exact reason was for holding such a great party. It has not been revealed yet."She asked me. How can I tell her it's my divorce party? I chuckled."Is it your birthday? It must be something special for him. Media is dying to get a look at you, please promote my Salon"She muttered. “Obviously, I will. You are my favourite makeup artist by the way.”She was a celebrity stylist I always heard about. Today she came
Ashley POV"You must be thinking that I am a girl with no identity and background, now engaged to Dylan Marcov. I must have hit a jackpot." I stared at a few people who accused me of being a gold digger. Many objected to my managing director’s position. "But in reality, I am Ashley Weber, the only daughter of the Weber family. I am not Diana but Ashley. The lost heiress of the Weber group.”I said and the entire hall was filled with mutter. Some did not believe whatever I said. I read the expressions of people who seemed lost with my confession."How could we believe it? What if she is lying? Ashley Weber died a few years ago. We know how Ashley Weber previously scammed the entire group.”Grandpa’s nephew came forward and spoke. It was something that stopped me from revealing myself. I took a deep breath."I have not carried the fake DNA like previous girls but I have regained my memory and remember every part of my life. I even remember the person who played an important part in my
"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
Ashley POV"What is this?" Alan stared at the file and asked me shockingly. "I have transferred all my shares in your name. I don't want to handle the Weber group anymore." I said. His brows arched when he heard that. He fumbled and held my hand."Ashley, listen. You don't have to do this. I never wanted the company. I just wanted you to be happy." Alan said, I shook my head. I was not ready to change my mind again."Grandpa wanted you to lead the Weber group. Do you think he would rest in peace if you do this?" He asked me.I took a deep breath. "I know. But I also think that you are the rightful owner of it. I was already missing for a while, and I think you should carry on this legacy."I stated. "But.." "I would assist you. Anyways you are soon retiring from your sports career. It will be good that you focus on the company."After his knee injury, it was difficult to continue his football game on international level. He wanted to get a small retirement from it. I walked back
Alan POV"What happened? Did he sign?" I asked Lawyer. He placed the divorce papers burned on both corners. He even burned the side where Ashely had signed in the morning."What the fuck is this. What does he think about himself?"I crushed the papers and asked. He placed another letter."Every time you send me the papers, you will find them in ashes. I am never going to divorce you at any cost. You were and you are and you will be my wife. Even when you will be dying, you will die as Mrs. Marcov."I gritted my teeth while staring at that letter. He is so confident that Ashley will return to him. Just because he had power and money he could dominate my sister at any time. "Now what shall we do? If he found out that I did that, he would throw me out of my chamber. I did it because you told me." The lawyer was scared. I took a deep breath."Prepare another paper and sign it in place of Dylan Marcov," I said, he was scared and shook his head."No, you want me to make a fake signature fo
I knew how excited he would be after knowing that. I grabbed the sonography in my hand and walked out of the hospital. My first pregnancy ended so drastically that I didn't want anything wrong to happen this time. I will tell you everything Dylan today. I should inform him about my pregnancy and shouldn’t deprive this child of his father. I took a deep breath and got in my car.I took a tablet of vitamins and folic acid that my gynaecologist gave me. I drove back to the Markov group, as Dylan must be taking out his frustration on the staff, perhaps Fred going through a hard time because of me.As soon as I reached the elevator, I pressed the button. I felt extremely nauseous. The locked room made me feel puke again. The elevator went up and I almost vomited in the dustbin of the elevator. The doctor already informed me about my morning sickness getting worse but I didn't know it would be this bad. I was almost about to feel dizzy but then I bumped into Zina on the next floor."Mrs
"Done," Zina said, I sighed. She had arranged my entire schedule for the week in such a way that my interaction with Dylan would be minimal. Today, I took Friday off because it was my first visit to the gynaecologist after learning about my pregnancy. “I applied for leave. Everything will go fine if the boss doesn’t come to the office.” Zina said. After seeing his injury last night, the chances that he would come to the office are less. I could use this opportunity for my gyno visit. "Thank you so much, Zina. You did me a huge favour," I said. Zina kept everything hidden from Dylan which was something I should thank her for. "It's my pleasure, Mrs. Marcov," she said as she hung up. I got ready and stepped out of my room with my handbag. I found Alan standing near the couch and seemed desperate about something. I had never seen him this nervous before. "Ashley, thank God you’re here. Actually, I needed your signature on an important contract," Alan said, as he turned a few pages
“Why is he not even defending himself? What is his plan? What does he want? A response from me? Then he will not get it at all.” I stayed there and watched him getting beaten by those men. One punch on his jaws and his mouth started bleeding. I was getting disturbed. In a short while Alan came and stood beside me. He brought popcorn in his hand and passed it to me.“Take it, Ashley, you must be getting bored of seeing this action.” Alan said, I shook my head. I did not want to eat. “It’s good that he is not fighting back, I hope he will give up and never show his face to the Weber house again.”Alan said and I raised my head. “What do you mean by that? Did you hire those men?” I asked Alan with a baffled look. “Yes, So that he won’t trouble you anymore. I found he was coming every day just to pursue you.” Alan popped a popcorn in his mouth as if it were his usual thing. “What will be the difference between you and him if you are doing the same thing? Does money make you blin
Dylan POVMy heart broke when Ashley walked away with Alan right in front of my eyes. My fist clenched in frustration. I hated it when Ashley ignored me for someone else. "What's wrong with you Ashley? Why are you giving me punishment for the sin I never committed.” In anger, I slammed my hand hard against the wall beside me. Whenever Ashley distanced herself from me, I went crazy. And today was no different. When I brought Ashley to the hospital, I thought everything would be fine, but Alan came and ruined everything."Boss, we should leave. You need to calm down first," Fred said as he grabbed my hand. He looked very concerned. "Leave it, Fred," I pulled my hand back."You are bleeding heavily, sir. We need to go to the hospital. Wait, I am calling the doctor right now."We were in the basement of the hospital. Fred started to call the doctor. I refused him."There’s no need for that, Fred. I’m not feeling this pain. This wound is just superficial. Only she can heal the pain ins
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. "
