" 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! Ashley didn't budge and kept unlocking his belts. " wifey, " He lowered his voice but to no avail.Her hands were already on his shirt, he knew had to drive home immediately, hopefully, if she didn't cause an accident.Luckily for Jason, he drove to their mansion faster. His shirts were already open, so was his belts.On the other hand, Ashley had unzipped her skirts. Only God knows how Jason managed to control her from not removing her singlets and skirts, otherwise she would have been naked.Sam and Natasha were constantly grinning and some of the other workers too." Shut your eyes!" Jason's voice sprang out when he saw how they looked at them. He carried Ashley in a bridal style and went up." It is going to be a wild day " Natasha prodded Sam
" What happened?" Ashley raised the sheets once more to see her naked body. While Jason was still sleeping peacefully. She peeked at his naked body and she couldn't help but wonder if they did nasty things the day before. Even though the evidence was there.But seeing how she felt pains all over, she could rest be assured that something went on. But what suddenly got into her? How could she have acted without thoughts and to make matters worse, she can't recall anything.She managed to lift herself from the bed, trying to take a step. She fell backwards, her legs were numb and weak, a little bit shaky as well. Could they have overdone it?With the table shifted slightly while she fell, making a creepy noise. Jason opened his eyes to see her on the floor."wifey, what's wrong? " Jason shifted over to her corner, when he opened his eyes to see her in that position.Ashley heaved a breath, " Did we do it?" one could feel the coldness in her tone. Jason nodded, scratching the back of hi
" It didn't work mom, I think he avoids me like a plague " Alexis said with a hoarse voice." That is better because getting him to sleep with you again if you didn't get pregnant might be hard, I suggest you scheme yourself and check your cycle, do it at the perfect time so that it would catch up once" Elena suggested while both were seated in a room." Why didn't I think of that? " Alexis said with a smirk on her lips, yes she should have been prepared, it rarely happens with a man just once but it is perfect when the lady is most fertile." I think it should be closer already" Alexis took her phone to check her flo app, an app for tracking female cycles. " Mom, it is next tomorrow " She answered as her eyes flickered." Then it is perfect, take your time to plot this perfectly, you can become the wife and have everything to yourself if you play the role well, think of being Jason's wife and his fortunes. Don't just give him a drug that will boost his sex drive, Make him pass out!"
The bride’s waiting room was a hubbub of activity as people fled in and out with a blur of excitement. Congratulatory cheers filled the space. “ Congratulations, my best friend, so dreams do come through,” Ashley giggled, spreading her hands for a hug. A wide grin stretched across Louisa’s lips and she welcomed her embrace. They stayed for a while before Ashley pulled herself back. “ You are so pretty,” she exclaimed, maintaining a smile on her face. “ Thank you so much,” Louisa glanced around as if she was searching for something. “ Jay?? 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 can't come with him to the wedding” jerking her head around “ he would be such a nuisance” She concluded, taking a seat close to Louisa. “ Whatever, you shoul
“I would like to have dõnor kebab without sauce please “ A lady demanded while handing the menu back to Louisa. “ Sure, would you like any dessert? We have pretty something nice” With a grin plastered on her face, making sure to serve the customers nicely, she inquired. “ No, I think I will pass” The lady replied, waving her hands off to show she wasn't interested. “ Okay ma'am, I will be back in some minutes” Louisa stomped off to the counter. She dropped the menu and went into the kitchen to give the chef a heads-up. While talking to one of the advanced chefs,a light nudge came on her shoulders and she whipped around to catch a glimpse of who touched her.“ What's the matter?” Her voice is low and calm.The fellow waitress who touched her, passed a piece of paper and an envelope to her. “ Maybe a tip of something, a customer asked me to give this to you” She shrugged as Louisa stretched her hands to get hold of the envelope. “ Thanks” She answered, a gentle smile carved up on
73" Congratulations ma'am, you are two weeks pregnant!" The Doctor said as Ashley's lips carved into a wide, loving smile. " Thanks, doctor, I have been expecting it! " She exclaimed. " I can't see the gender right now, right?" She asked in a curious and anticipating tone. Not the gender mattered but the number. The curiosity was killing her. " 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. She felt days ticked slowly as the expectation was killing her. Jason noticed how tense she was, she would always stand in front of the calendar biting her fingers. " Sweetie, don't take i
*2 months later * Ashley had healed from the trauma of losing her twins, Jason took her out on so many dates and she eventually got over it. She resumed work too. And recently they have been working really hard for triplets! At least Jason promised her it would be triplets or quadruplets.Jason was making French toast for their breakfast that morning. His cooking skills had gotten better because he frequently enhanced his skills with Ashley. Jason had finished setting the tables with the French toast and whipped yoghurt as dessert. "You are done?" He asked Ashley who stepped out. " Yeah, this French toast looks yummy, you have gotten pretty much better. I pray it is the same with the taste" Ashley giggled as took a bite from one. "Hmmm, it tastes nice, " She nodded in approval to the taste. " Tastes like you, you mean? " Jason winked at her. Ashley rolled her eyes. " I'm not skipping work again today like the other day. You pervert, "she jokingly said. " I can make that possibl
Once they got to the hospital, Ashley was rushed in for an emergency. Jason kept praying that his wife and babies would be okay. After much examination and treatment from the doctor. Jason, Margeret and Louisa went into the ward to see Ashley. She was lying peacefully on the patient's bed. Jason gripped her hands and kissed them. 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. Just that moment the Doctor stepped in with a sad expression. " Doctor, Are the babies okay?" Jason demanded immediately. The Doctor went mute for a while. " What happened? Please tell us " Louisa had imagined the worst scenario. The room was hushed and all eyes were on the doctor excluding Ashley wh
Everything began to make sense, why he couldn't find her all those while. He persuaded him to go on the business trip as well. So all these was just his schemes to get the company. He has been the one hiding Alexis! That sly fox How could he?! He has been targeting the company right under his nose. "Carlos, your assistant?" asked Louisa as her gaze was focused on him. " Yes, I put him in charge of finding Alexis but instead he had been hiding her. He is nowhere to be found now too. I have called him countless times. " " Then what are you going to do now? Are you going to sign away the company?" Her heart ached for Jason as she watched him in despair. Jason paused, his head was reverberating in confusion. Will he sign away the company and save his dear wife or leave her to die? This was the hardest decision Jason had ever encountered. "We will find her, " He mumbled and pressed his lips in agony. A notification came into his phone and it was a video of Ashley tied up and a gun b
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. " Why should I do that? You are yet to pay for your sins!" Alexis scoffed as she took out a cigarette and a lighter. Lightning it up as she began smoking, she blew some of the smoke right in Ashley's face. Ashley let out a cough from the smoke while Alexis let out a sneer of mockery. " My Mom is in prison b
"What is that?" Ashley glanced over at her. Louisa showed her the phone, Lyla had a picture together with Kevin and she posted it on her page! They wore matching outfits as if they had been a couple. " Ahhh,? this" Said Ashley after she looked up to see Louisa already boiling up with anger. " Calm down, I didn't want to tell you because of how you would react " Ashley muttered, dragging Louisa to sit down as she had already sparked up. " He is cheating on me, I should have known better! How could I trust him?" Louisa groaned, her eyes filled with rage. "He is not, he didn't want to tell you " Ashley defended." Don't tell me, she is his ex! Or future wife?! Or divorcee.?"Louisa thought of the best way to clarify the situation. What could he be doing with Lyla! Ashley's face squirmed into a wide grin. " You have a wild imagination!" She snickered, unable to control her mirth. "Why are you laughing? Then what's the best phrase for this situation?" Louisa wasn't finding it funny. S
"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. " What type of surgery does he need?" She questioned."Here on the X-ray image. You can see his heart. " the doctor explained, pointing towards the monitor. " We have to carry out a procedure called catheter ablation. It involves threading a catheter through the blood vessels and into the heart to destroy abnormal vessels that are causing it. " "Can the surgery be scheduled today and is it safe?" Ashley asked with a
