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."
Ashton sat in the meeting room, staring at the projecting screen thoughtlessly.The accounting head of Schwimmer Corporation was detailing the monthly performance and profits of the company but Ashton had his thoughts somewhere else.He kept trying Katherine's number from the moment she left home that morning but she wouldn't bother attending his calls or answer to his texts. He knew she was pissed off at him but what was he supposed to do when his best friend spent the whole night whining about her ex. Callie wanted Ashton to stay with her at her apartment till she fell asleep.He did not want to sound rude to his friend by refusing to stay and hence they kept talking for a while, then Ashton insisted on watching a movie to take her mind off that jerk ex-boyfriend of hers. It was almost early in morning when she finally went to her bedroom to slee
Katherine kept fidgeting the hem of her skirt while seated in Ashton's car. Ashton was finally going to introduce his fiance to his parents. It was not that they hadn't met earlier but this was more like an official meeting with his family after they had got engaged. And moreover this was the first time she was going to his house.After a sleepless night, Katherine was relieved to know that Ashton's grandparents had offered to come for the dinner after Ashton told them how nervous she was to meet his parents."Babe, you need to calm down. No one is going to eat you there and besides I will be there with you. So relax." He placed him palm on her thigh."I know but I'm scared. Will they accept me, Ashton? What if they don't like me?" she looked distraught, how much ever he tried to calm her down.&nb
Callie was up all night, like she had been from the day Ashton's parents had announced their wedding date. She drew the curtains aside, letting the sunlight enter into her dull room. She looked out of the window sadly. The morning sky was clear and bright, hinting the end of winter in Manhattan.She picked up her laptop and shoved it into her bag, before walking out of her room."Honey, breakfast is ready." Callie's mom, Maria announced from the dinning hall while arranging the table.Callie didn't bother answering her mom and instead, walked to where her car was parked."Callie, sweety, Callie..." Maria kept calling her, however Callie paid no attention to her and got into her car. The sudden change in her behaviour bewildered her parents, colleagues and friends. The once energetic, friendly and creative fashion designer in her was gone. She became aggressive towards everyone aroun
Against all odds, Ashton managed to convince his parents that Katherine was innocent and that she had no involvement with that man. He recruited personal investigators to dig into the matter, secretly but later found out that he had absconded that very night.“Mr.Schwimmer, we will keep looking for him. He should definitely come out of his hiding in a month or two.” His PI assured him. Ashton nodded. His mind was pre-occupied with the thoughts of who could probably want to pin Katherine with such a blame.
Chapter 25 “Mrs. Ashton Schwimmer.” Ashton snaked his arms around Katherine, distracting her from the conversation that she was having with her friends. She was already out of her wedding gown and her hair was let down into beautiful waves.“We will be late to our honeymoon if we don’t start now, darling.” He cooed into her ears, sending sparks down her core. “Excuse us ladies.” He said to her friends and pulled her towards the brand new car that he had presented to Katherine as a wedding gift. It was beautifully decorated with colourful flowers and ribbons. Her family and friends were gathered around the couple and wished them good luck to their new beginning.“What about my bags?” She asked Laura
Ashton and Katherine took the first flight back to Manhattan. Ashton was at tenterhooks throughout the journey. He knew that Callie loved her father very much and she would be worried sick for him.Katherine remained by his side, holding his arm and calming him down. He didn't talk much and remained quiet till they reached home. They didn't get to rest since Ashton wanted to go straight to the hospital.They
Chapter 27 “What’s with the long face, honey?” David asked seeing Callie’s sullen face.“Ashton isn’t picking up my calls, dad and he left me here all alone even after I literally begged him to stay with me.” She whined like a small child. Callie was day by day losing her self-control when it came to Ashton. She began to yearn for his constant attention. Sh
Hello my lovely Readers!!I just wanted to thank each and everyone of you!!His Lost Lovewas my first book but somewhere, I lost the spark and foolishly decided to stop writing it. It was the most stupidest thing I have ever. I wouldn't have finished it if not for your faith on me. You have been showering me with your constant love and support throughout the journey. Some of you have even motivated me to continue the story when I had lost hope as a writer. I am grateful to all those amazing readers!! You d
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.
