Ashton woke up to the continuous banging sound on his room door. He groaned loudly and rubbed his eyes. He caught a glimpse of the clock, it was early in the morning and dark outside. Even now, he had some discomfort from the pain in his abdomen, while moving around. He could make out who exactly were standing at his door and knocking so early in the morning. He opened the door with a small grin on his lips.“Happy birthday, Ashton.” He tucked his head into his folded arms to save his ears from all the howling and shouting. He was immediately engulfed in Noah's warm embrace, followed by
She stood in front of the long sized mirror and glanced at her reflection for the hundredth time in the last forty five minutes. She felt nervous and jumpy since this was her first date, and not to mention with the heart throbbing Ashton.She straightened up her simple red printed dress, which reached below her knees, slightly flowy at the bottom. She decided to wear a grey jacket along with her black pumps.She felt like she was torn between anxiety, dread and excitement all at once, as she waited for Ashton. When she heard the sound of a car honking, instantly her hands became sweaty and her heart rate increased a hundred times. She felt that fluttery stomach feeling which she always had when she saw Ashton.She peeped through the window to confirm if it was Ashton and when she saw him leaning on a brand new black car, her lips curved into a full smile.His hair was neatly gelle
"You took her to your grandparents' house for a date? You are kidding, right?" Noah studied Ashton's face with wide and amused eyes.Ashton, Noah and Mike had planned to watch a big game together at Mike's house. Mike had also invited Hudson to join them, which he accepted without a second thought.Noah and Michael broke into a fit of laughter, when they didn't get an answer from Ashton except for a glare."Who takes a girl to their grandparents' place?" Noah chortled, rolling on the sofa while clutching his stomach. "Don't expect that girl to call you back." He said wiping the single tear that had slipped his eyes from excessive laughing.Ashton wanted to smack Noah's head for ridiculing the best date of his life but decided to go against it. It must have been the best date for him but was it the same for Katherine?
Katherine was excited to start her new life in Richmond High school as Ashton's girl. She had never been so happy in her whole seventeen years of existence.It had been a little more than three months since she started dating Ashton. The whole school witnessed how crazy Ashton was about Katherine. Anyone who thought that Ashton and Callie were a thing, were proved wrong after seeing Katherine and Ashton's closeness. She slowly opened to him about her rough childhood with Ashton which made him realize the hardships she had been through and he understood the grounds for her insecurities.Ashton made sure to take her on frequent dates and made her feel special. And when they were not together, he would text her and it would continue till post midnight.Katherine, Ann and Hudson were officially included in Ashton's friends group. From sharing same tables for lunch to going for games, they started
For the past year, Katherine was walking on air, discovering happiness and solace in her new found relationship with Ashton. Ashton was seen happy, like a child with a new toy.When he was just four months away from his graduation, he knew that it was more than just dating that was going on between them but he did not want to rush into conclusions yet.He wanted to see how things would turn out between Katherine and him once he moved out off Manhattan. Would they be able to keep up a long distance relationships?Until then, he wanted to spend as much time as possible with her and get to know her more. He spent more time with Katherine before he joined the University of California to pursue his bachelors in business."He would lose interest in her once he moves away from her and when he meets really beautiful blonde chicks." Judy once said to Callie.
Four years later, Ashton was back to Manhattan for his post graduation. He also started working as an intern in Schwimmer's group of companies. He earned enough to buy his own pent house in the city. He stayed there most of the time but he also used to travel a lot to accompany his father to important business meets. He excelled in both his studies and managed his work efficiently. He worked very hard to create his own identity in his family conglomerate as he did not want to look like an unfit rich heir, who got to the position just because of his birth. He wanted to prove to the board members that he was the rightful candidateHe was still as crazy about Katherine as h
As they reached the parking of his penthouse, Ashton helped her out of the car.He pecked her lips, "Sweetheart, you go inside. I have got to review and sign few documents at work. It is kind of urgent and needs to be finished before tonight. I'll be back in an hour or two." He looked down at her apologetically."Alright.. Just come home safe." She smiled at him. He knew that she was trying to hide her disappointment.He kissed her forehead before letting her walk inside the building. He knew she would be mad at him for leaving her alone. She was here to spend time with him and it was not fair on his side to ditch her like that on her first day of arrival but he had planned so much for her. To execute it without any flaws, it was justifiable to leave her for a few hours.He drov
Katherine walked out of the bed towards the bathroom, wearing Ashton's huge shirt. Even after folding them a few times, the sleeves looked long and were hanging loose around her arms. A few minutes later, she walked back to their bed where Ashton was sleeping soundly. He was lying on his stomach with his limbs stretched across the whole mattress. Katherine sat on the edge of the bed while running her fingers on his unruly hair that fell on his forehead. She watched him with a sweet smile on her lips. Ashton seemed relaxed while sleeping with his mouth slightly open that she almost did not have the heart to wake him up but he had literally begged her to wake him up as soon as the Sun's first rays hit the sky since he had to attend an important meeting with the board of directors. It had been almost six months after Ashton proposed to Katherine. She stilled remember it as if it had happened only yesterday. It was the most roman
"You mean to say she messed up your weekend trip to South Padre Island?" Ann asked Kathrine while on their way to Wine and dine. Ann sat on the driver seat, listening to her friend."I wouldn't put it that way, exactly. She needed him and I wouldn't want to blame anyone. He is after all her best friend and he would do anything for her." There was a slight amount of sadness visible in her tone. They hadn't discussed about the issue after that night except for Ashton's apologies to Katherine.She did not want to seem like the girlfriend who desperately wanted to go on a trip. She did not want to hold him responsible for the one mistake that he had done instead she wanted to end the argument and move forward. She knew that Ashton could take her on manysuch trips if he wanted to."

After three months Crystal's started going to school, a new one of course. It was one of the finest schools in the country with maximum security to the students. Ashton had sued her old school like Harry had threatened and they heard they were shutting down after the lawsuit. Katherine started taking care of the Manhattan branch with Ashton's help while Harry decided to take care of the branches in Europe. It was hard for him to leave Crystal at first but he knew Ashton would be taking care of them now, more than he ever did. Harold decided to stay in Manhattan with his daughter. He wanted to spend his remaining days with Katherine and his granddaughter, making up for all the time he had lost in the past. Few weeks into Crystal's return
“You don’t have to do it..” The cop said, bringing his hands in front of him. “Then throw your weapons away..” She threatened by pressing the knife closer to Crystal’s neck, causing Katherine to gasp loudly.“Callie please.. Leave my baby alone..” Katherine begged. Callie shifted her gaze on Katherine. Ashton was holding her shoulders firmly and it only made Callie’s blood boil in her veins. “To be frank, I want to kill her right this moment but I wouldn’t do that. I have much more in store for her.. I want her to suffer her whole life.&r
Chapter 51 “Tell me, why did you come to the airport with David Jones’ phone?” The cop asked leaning himself on the arm rest of the chair where the driver was seated. “I was asked to go to the airport but I didn’t know why.” He replied slightly shivering. The cop looked at him with piercing eyes. “Okay.. Where are they now?”
Chapter 50Ashton jerked up from his sleep when he heard Katherine’s bloodcurdling scream. “Kathy.. Kathy.. look at me.. Kathy..” He sat up on his knees and tried to wake her up from the bad dream that she was having. For the past four days, she had hardly slept more than an hour and when she did, she would wake up with a cold sweat, screaming and panting. “Ashton.. she is hurt.. oh no.. my baby is hurt..” Her body shook violently as she cried loudly. Ashton pulled her on his lap and began to
Chapter 49When Katherine opened her eyes, she was surrounded by her family and friends. “Crystal?!!” She flung her legs off the bed and frantically roamed around the house in search of her daughter. “Kathy.. honey.. please listen..” Ashton approached behind her and spoke softly. “Wh-where is s-she Ashton? Where is my ba-baby?” She stammered and buried her face into his chest. She tightly clutched
Katherine had woken up just a few minutes before him. Taking in his sleeping form, she supported her body over her elbow. He looked so peaceful, sleeping with his lips slightly apart and his stubborn bangs were falling over his forehead. She very badly wanted to push back those thick threads of hair but she didn’t want to wake him up and decided to keep still.It had been a month since the operation and life was coming back to normal for Ashton and Katherine.This was becoming regular now. Every morning she woke up next to him and she still couldn’t believe that he was with her. She couldn&rsq
Chapter 47 “Daddy, when will mommy come?” Crystal asked Ashton. “Soon, honey.. Why don’t you go home with grandma?” Everyone was waiting outside the operation theatre for four hours now and Crystal was beginning to miss her mommy already. “Okay daddy..” She nodded and got down from his lap.“Come on honey..” Ashton’s parents were really happy to take her home and spend some time with their grand-daughter. “Call us if you need anything, son..” Kate said
Ashton was getting ready to work when he received a call from Harris. “Hey man, what’s up?” He chirped. After a few seconds, Katherine watched his eyes widened as his smile began to be replaced by panic. “Kathy..” He shoved his phone into his pant pocket and walked near her. “I-It’s your dad.. Harry is taking him to the hospital.” Katherine’s pulse began to hammer and she felt a surge of unfamiliar feelings blazing inside her. She had hated her father for leaving her when she needed him the most. All she had for her father was hate and anger.
