John says handing him over the list, slight fear evident in his eyes.
Ashton Lockwood was indeed a completely unexpected and unpredictable man and this made people fear him.
Ashton's eyes remain fixed on a name on the list a little longer. John gulped his saliva and started to explain.
"Sir they sen-"
A show of hand from Ashton's side made John to go back to silence.

Elle stood near the jersey listening to its owner's worries.Her hands were patting the cow's body to make it accustomed to her touch."She has not been eating properly and is lethargic to even walk.""What about milking?""She was milking much more than her normal capacity since last few days but now she is not giving any."Elle nodded as she placed her hand near the cow's face to find it's pulse."Has she calved recently?""Yes..she gave birth to a calf a few days back"Finally, Elle measured her temperature and her doubts were confirmed.96°F was much lower than its normal temperature of 101.5 .She pulled an injection and filled it with the required medicine.Gently placing her one hand on the cow she injected the medicine.Slowly rubbing over the spot she turned to her owner."Will she be fine...I am really worried... that's why I called you from the city...""Don't worry she will

The source of the sound was much more dangerous.His face held so much anger that she wanted to run out of the room ,away from him.His eyes were fixed on only one person and disappointment was clear in them.He was disappointed to see her here.She looked down to continue picking the pieces when another roar echoed in the silence."Everyone! Out! Now!"Within seconds the people scattered like they were running for their life.She found herself alone to face the wrath of this beast."What are you doing here?"She refused to leave work and answer him.Truth being she couldn't even look at him after creating such a scene at his workplace."Just leave this sh** and Fu**** answer me !

His not so beautiful wife Silence before storm
"Don't love anyone to the extent you forget your own self.Always think first about your own victory before working to make someone else victorious."..............................................She was never the kind of girl who could hurt anyone with her words and have a peaceful sleep.Nor was she the one who used silent treatment to hurt someone.But after that night she changed.She learned to keep her mouth shut when others didn't appreciate her words or pay attention to her.What was the use of shouting when no one was listening?What was the use of caring when no one asked her of her well being? She was cleaning the utensils when she heard his voice."Do I need to tell you again and again?? I think you didn't take my warning seriously last time.....""You dare

His small legs ran at full speed.Eager to see her smiling face since morning.The big door was pushed open by his small body and he frantically searched for the eyes that resembled his.There she sat with her back turned towards him,The windows giving her a full view of the beautiful garden below."Mommy!! I am home!!"The wheelchair turned around on hearing his little voice.Before she could use her hands to move her wheelchair towards him.He had already covered the distance between them.Engulfing her in a hug, he inhaled her blossom fragrance and smiled in her arms.She kissed his forehead to only have her eyes to drift towards the wound at the corner of his lip."Ethan, you are bleeding..oh my god what happened love?"She asked cupping his face in her hands while assessing the wound with her thumb."Nothing maa just that Charlie again...he said ...he was going to say you are crippled...I

He woke up with stiffness in his body.The throbbing in his head had subdued and he looked around anxiously.There stood his mother and father, looking happy for once after so long.The smiles on their faces were genuine, as they stared at something or rather someone.Confused he tried to sit up with the support of his elbows.His eyes fell on a glass box kind of a thing, and his forehead had creases in confusion."Mom?"He called in his hoarse voice, to only have her turn around towards him."Come Son...come here"Confused he stood up and started walking towards her.His hands holding on to the bed for support.As he came closer, the first thing his eyes fell on was a very tiny fist.Intrigued, he stepped forward to have his heart stop for the second time.Except that this time, it was from happiness.

A loud clap was heard in the hallway of the hospital.Ashton closed his eyes, accepting all the pain and humiliation coming his way.The force behind the slap has made his right profile, go numb for a few minutes.And his father's voice was heard as a ringing echo."I am ashamed of you! You don't deserve to be called my son...I....I married you to her....I thought you will love her and cherish her....that innocent soul is there fighting for her life.......tell me Son..tell me what crimes has that girl commit?What was her fault in all this?"Her only fault is that she loved a person like meHis conscience spoke to him.He stood there staring at the tiles floor.Unable to meet his father's disappointed face and his mother's hatred.His collar was grabbed by his father's wrinkled hands, as he shook him to his senses."I wil

The deafening silence was all she could hear.Her hearing ability felt impaired for a minute or so.As the high decibels numbed her senses.The realisation came upon her and she tried lifting herself up from her safe corner.Havoc surrounded her.Burning pieces of tires and metal.Black clouds of smoke Suffocating smell of burning rubber.Her eyes only looked for one person, but sadly he couldn't be found anywhere.With heart-throbbing thinking of the worst-case scenario.She managed to come out of the safety of the car through the escape route of a broken window.She looked at the same place where he stood a few seconds ago.Nothing.Moving towards it with shaking legs she cried with desperation."Ash.... please... please be safe......."Tears were rolling down her cheeks without her even kn
