Jason asked, looking up to him." Madrid, Spain, you can have as much fun as you want. Don't worry about the company. It will in be safe hands and Don't disappoint me son " Reyes said and winked at him.Ashley's cheeks,kind of flushed but she shook it off as she wasn't expecting anything from jason. Since after that kiss with Jason, he was beginning to act awkward a bit, more like he was distancing himself from her. He never said anything about the kiss.

Jason curled up to her and poked her nose." Why are you pretending to be asleep?" Jason said, giggling non stop. Ashley couldn't get enough of his cute grey eyes and contagious smile. She was so lost looking at him.Feeling embarrassed, she asked " how did you know I wasn't sleeping? '' Ashley slightly lifted herself from the bed." I saw you dive into the bed, the door was open, remember?" Jason sat down on the bed close to her." Why are you unexpectedly nice now, you have been ignoring me since the day we…. " Ashley paused, She swore to herself why she brought up the topic." we what?" , Jason, pretending as if he doesn't know what she was talking about." Never mind, it was a mistake " Ashley said, the thoughts of Jason having another woman in his heart didn't sit right with her. She averted her gaze from him and Jason pulled her face back to fix his gaze.He placed his hands on both of her cheeks, pulling her face closer to his while in the same position." How about I kiss you

" No, no it is just do you lov…. " Ashley tightened her lips, this was definitely not the time for that question." Never mind " Ashley added, Jason lifted himself from her and Ashley used the blanket to cover her bare body.There was a deep awkwardness and silence between them. Even though they were married, there wasn't any defined relationship. Ashley just married him because she didn't have a choice, she can't say for Jason though. Jason hasn't made his intentions clear yet." I'm sorry, I just…." Ashley said, the whole mood they had been in just vanished in a twinkle of an eye." It is fine honey, I understand you don't trust me enough yet and I won't rush you" he leaned over and kissed her forehead.Jason climbed down from the bed and picked up his shirt. He wore it, buttoning it back.Ashley just bowed her head in utter embarrassment, she wanted him, heavens know that, but she wasn't sure of how he felt about her, she wouldn't give in to Someone who wasn't ready for her yet.

"Add a lot of sand, I'm sure she won't be able to escape from this'" Juliet instructed Katherine and a smirk continuously formed at the corner of her lips.The Two ladies were seen replacing most of the food ingredients and spices with sand, mixing up sand and salt in the thin containers of the ingredients." if she is recorded as a bad chef, she wouldn't be able to secure any other job as a chef" Katherine declared and vigorously mixed the sand up with the components. Ashley was the one to cook and instruct so she would surely be blamed for any bad record and complaints from customers. " Who the hell does she think she is? Even Mr CEO can't save her on this." Juliet was already jubilating and steady grinning, one would think that she had already accomplished her mission.They hurried everything as they came earlier before anyone and went to the locker room to change into their uniforms. ********Ashley was in the restroom, she had just gone to ease herself. While washing her hands

Juliet and Katherine had been secretly monitoring the customers to see one who would flare up over the disastrous dish served.But to no avail, no customer ever groaned, they rather ate the meals with smiles on their faces.Juliet leaned in and gossiped with Katherine" didn't you add a lot of sand? " Katherine returned the favour by murmuring " I did, I just don't what happened" Katherine shrugged and stole a glance from Ashley" Do you think she found out?" Juliet mumbled while turning to look at Ashley's direction as well. " Don't think she would be this cool if she did" Katherine replied and focused back on the onions she was chopping." Tomorrow, we won't add any ingredients, just sand and surely she won't escape it, I must get her out of this place" Juliet scowled glaring at Ashley. The moment Ashley turned her head, she smiled at her and Ashley returned the smile genuinely.After work hours were over, Ashley had sighted Jason and Alexis leaving his office while linking arms t

"Let's shower together" Jason opened the bathroom door and decided to tease Ashley."Give me a break, why should I do that? " Ashley pouted throwing a pillow at him." Because we are husband and wife, " Jason winked at her."Yeah, yeah, you have other 700k wives as well. Count me out, you can shower with them" Ashley kept wondering if she should ask him about his relationship with Alexis, but she just pushed it off, if he could go on dates, then she would start going out on dates too. She won't be a crybaby for a guy who doesn't love her." You must hate the fact that I have a lot of female fans," Jason let out a laugh. " want me to deactivate my Instagram account, I'm no longer much of a celebrity now " Jason blinked at her.Ashley's heart fluttered a bit, would he actually do that for her? She thought.A call came into Ashley's phone, distracting her from Jason as he shut the door and went back to shower.***************Ashley didn't go to work, she had to visit her mom and as usu

A man walked into the room with two glasses of wine and a bottle of cold water after Jason unlocked the door for him." We didn't order wine though, " Jason replied, surprised as to why the wine was brought. " Oh sir, it is free for couples who patronise our hotel " The waiter responded, keeping them on the table."But…. " Jason tried to talk but was cut off by Alexis. " Alright, thanks a lot " Alexis interrupted coming out of the restroom.The waiter turned and left."We can just take the wine, " Alexis said, sitting down on the bed." Are you okay now?" Jason inquired."Yes, very much better, " Alexis flashed her teeth in a warm smile."Okay then, let's go " Jason stood up, not minding the wine that was brought by the waiter, he wasn't interested in staying one more minute in the hotel." Wait, we can just have our lunch here" Alexis informed, twisting her lips. " I don't like this hotel, let's get out of here" Jason declared, without hesitation, he instantly stepped not giving A

"What are you doing!" Jason's eyes glistened, he wasn't sure of how to handle the situation.Ashley had already started unlocking his belts.He held her in both arms " Ash, look at me" Jason stared right into her eyes, she was becoming wild!

Where is he?” “Oh Jay,” Ashley said, wiggling her lips, “ I hired a nanny for him, he gives too much trouble” She answered plainly and Louisa smacked her lightly at the arm. “ Don't you think he is too little for a nanny yet?!” She fired back, abruptly raising her voice. “ Hey….

" I'm afraid, no, you can come back during the eight weeks for an ultrasound. " The doctor clarified firmly.Ashley frowned, she badly wanted to know if she had at least two or three babies in her tummy. "Okay, doctor. Thank you so much " She thanked the doctor as she heaved a sigh before leaving the hospital. Anticipation flowed through Ashley's soul and body as she marked her calendars till the day she could learn that they were twins or triplets.

He kept it warm with his both arms as she was fast asleep. " Do you think the twins will be okay?" Louisa questioned with a worried look. They were yet to hear the results from the Doctor. " We have to wait for the Doctor to give us the news. Hopefully, I pray the twins will be okay " Jason remarked. His gaze on Ashley was mixed with Love and sorrow.

Ashley gradually shot her eyes open and her vision was blurry. She could faintly see a Lady. She tried hard to force her eyes open for the second time, only to realize that she had been tied up! The moment her eyes opened wide, she looked around to see that the area seemed like an abandoned warehouse. Glancing up, her gaze met with Alexis! She struggled and tried to break free, but all her attempts went to zero because she was tied tightly. " Trying to escape now?" Alexis questioned with a smirk. She was all dressed in black and also a black face cap. She also had a mask around her neck region. "Untie me, this instant! Have you no shame? " Ashley's eyes flashed red in fury.

"What! " Ashley sprang up from the sofa. Jason turned to her immediately. She quickly nodded to the rest of the words coming from her mother and took her purse to rush out."Wait, what happened? " Jason halted her after seeing her reaction. " My dad collapsed. " She broke out. "Wait I will go with you " He said, turning off the gas and taking off the apron. He washed his hands and both of them scurried out. *" He has a heart disease, arrhythmia, it has gotten worse and he needs to be operated on immediately" the doctor reported to Ashley who stared at her intently.
