‘Jealous wife’ His words kept ringing at her ears, which was beginning to cause her a severe headache. Katherine lay on her couch, staring nothing in particular. Her phone was loosely held in her hand.
She was expecting Ashton’s calls from the moment she left the hospital. She thought he would come running behind her, hug her, kiss her and apologize to her for whatever stupid things he said about her but, at the end it only broke her already broken heart when he didn’t come home that night and didn’t even think of texting her.
Ashton was back home after staying at the hospital for three nights. He trod to their bedroom, calling out Katherine’s name softly when he didn’t find her in the living room or the kitchen. He opened the door to their bedroom and saw she was sleeping with the lights on.Her face was marred with tear strains.The tip of her nose were pink.Her eyes were puffy even while they were closed.
Katherine was sitting on the balcony, facing the setting sun that streaked the evening sky with a light shade of pink. She had been trying James’s number the whole week but it remained always switched off.Did something bad happen to him after their meeting? Or did he simply lie to her about it all?She felt l
Ashton and Katherine returned home after spending four nights at the resort. Quite surprising to Katherine, Ashton hadn’t received any calls from Callie after the first one and they stayed there without anyone’s interruption. Ashton even extended their stay for two more nights when he didn’t want their trip to get over.The whole month went in a blur after that with lots of work for Ashton but he still took out some of his time for Katherine. She laughed more often and looked happy again. He started noticing this unusual glow on her face lately. He didn’t know why but she looked much prettier to him than before.
Chapter 32When Ashton and Callie reached Paris it was already late in the evening. They had the contract signing meeting the next Afternoon. “Good morning Sir! Do you have a booking with us?” The lady at the reception desk queried Ashton. “Yeah.. Under the name..” He looked at Callie for the answer. “Ashto
The next day, it was almost eleven in the night and there was no sign of Ashton yet. He hadn’t called her after the previous night when he informed her that his work was done. She had tried his number early the next morning but it was switched off. She thought he had boarded his flight and waited for more than nine hours. “He should be here by now. Why isn’t he here yet?” She looked at the clock for the hundredth time in the last half an hour.The meal that
Ashton opened his eyes before they fell on the sleeping figure of his beautiful wife. He must have been a fool to ruin this lovely life, he thought. She looked as fragile as glass and it pained to think that he was about to shatter her into a million pieces by dropping the bomb of sleeping with another woman. How would she forgive him when he was unable to forgive himself. They hadn't talked to each other properly, no that was not entirely true. She had been trying to talk to him and ask what was wrong with him but whenever she tried to talk to him, he was either drunk or angry.Just when Katherine thought that everything was going on fine between them for a while, Ashton had to ruin everything by behaving like a moron to her
Ashton was startled from his nap by the ear-shattering sound of the thunder. He didn't know when he fell asleep, leaning against the back of his chair but when he woke up, he saw that the whole house was illuminated by a weird kind of darkness that he had never witnessed before. It seemed like the last rays of sunshine had gone missing from his life."Kathy.." He knew she would be angry at him and wouldn't want to see him at all. That was why he had left her alone, giving her sometime time to calm down.When he approached their bedroom, there was calm, the calm that is felt before the storm. A chill ran thr
A few months earlier: (England)"Mr.McKenzie.. Your father is diagnosed with liver cancer." The chief doctor informed Harris.Harris stared at the doctor, trying to process his words for a couple of minutes."How bad is it?" Harris asked blankly."I'm sorry but he is at the final stage of his illness." Harris pressed his lips into a thin line to control his raging emotions. "Can I see him?"
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.
