Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! It's a long night, drawing into a long day.
Ashton exited the mall after thanking Anna and also getting her phone number. He went to his car and had a little time with his thoughts about all what he just witnessed before driving off and heading back to the hospital.He drove through the dimly lit highway, the video he watched earlier kept replaying in his head as he clutched the wheel tightly while driving.After driving for what seemed like forever, he finally pulled over inside the hospital compound and got off the car. Things around the area were already calm unlike before.Without wasting any time, he swiftly made his way into the building and headed straight to the elevator that led to the ward.*PING*The elevator pinged with the door sliding open, and Ashton dashed out of it and headed straight to the room.Damien could be seen sitting on a bench outside alone, and he was currently lost in thoughts."Hey..." Ashton speaks up, unsure about what to say to a man who's wife was in an accident, Damien shifted his gaze towards

Sitting on a cold, metal in the dimly lit hallway were Damien and Ashton, and the duo seemed to be having a deep conversation. "If the phone was traced to Arielle's apartment, then doesn't that mean Arielle is holding Tiara hostage?" Damien questioned with a look of disbelief."That's what we all thought, but when we searched the house, we found nothing. Not even a single trace of Tiara nor the phone we tracked," Ashton explained."Strange," Damien commented while rubbing his chin in contemplation."I know, right... It surely is strange," Ashton remarked with his voice raised slightly. "I could tell Arielle was hiding something, but I had no proof," he added."And you are sure you searched everywhere? You didn't accidentally avoid a certain area?" Damien inquired."I searched every goddamn corner, opened doors, even below the staircase. There was no one there. It's either the tracker must have malfunctioned, or Arielle managed to take Tiara away from the house before we arrived. I mea

Back in the hospital, Veronica had woken up and all her children including Ashton and Damien already gathered there. None of them left the hospital last night even when the doctor informed them she was already stable and it's okay to leave."How are you feeling?" Ivy beckoned on Veronica with an expresson of relief. She was truly worried, she had held her hand all night long, worried about her mum. Liam sat by her other side on the bed and held her other hand, his eyes puffy."I am good, darling. I can't believe you two are here also." Veronica responded before moving her gaze towards where Ashton and Grant."Of course we should be here." Grant respons with a small smile on his lips while Ashton nods in agreement."Thank you guys." Veronica smiled back at them but they just smile with their worries still imprinted on their faces. "What's with all these long faces, I said I'm fine." Veronica spoke after noticing the long faces on everyone's faces and she laughed slightly to ease the te

Early in the morning of the same day, sitting on the sofa is Richard with no shirt on and his back was leaned backwards on the sofa with a glass of scotch in his hand as his head was filled with different thoughts. There were several empty bottles on the table infront of him as well meaning he has been drinking for quite a while now even though the day is still very young."That damn bastard!" Richard retorted in anger and a sluggish tone like a drunkard as he lifted himself off the chair and began to stagger back and forth in the living room with boiling anger, flinging the bottle in his hand against the wall, smashing it into a thousand bits.Any time he remembers the face of Ashton, his rage intensifies."Why didn't she just forgive me for cheating? Why did she choose to marry that bastard instead!" Richard voiced, slamming the glass on the floor and caused it to smash to pieces and the content inside the bottle had spilled all over the floor.Ever since Richard cheated on Ivy, h

"I brought you here so we can join forces and seperate Ashton and Ivy." Richard smirks, grabbing a glass of unfinished scotch off the table."What? That's absurd!" Raine blurted out in disagreement."Look, Raine, it's not like we will be doing something bad. It's just like me taking back what rightfully belongs to me." Richard answered back."Why not just let it go? I mean, Ivy looks happy with Ashton why not just let them be?" Raine protests, wondering where this obsession with Ivy is coming from suddenly."No, i can't let them be when i know i wasn't the one at fault here!" Richard raised his voice, causing Raine to flinch a bit, and Richard quickly realized he went too far. "I am sorry." He said appologetically."It's fine." Raine responded. "What do you even plan on doing? How do you plan on getting them seperated?" Raine inquired."I plan on making you tell Ivy that Ashton asked you out and almost forcefully slept with you."Raine's eyes widened in shock after hearing the words o

Ashton steps into the very crowded building and weaves his way around the crowd. It's still afternoon but the place is already crowded with good for nothings who do not have better things to do with their times.Ashton doesn't know Roger and has never seen him physically but he is well aware of what he would look like if he sees him because of that psychopath smile of his after hitting a woman and then driving away. He stands on a spot and looks around, fending away the hand of ladies away from his body.In a corner, he sees a set of young men all drinking and laughing. The one right in the middle with the exact same hairstyle as in that CCTV, Ashton smirks and wears the facemask in his hands.After the widespread corona virus, there is nothing against face masks and no one finds it weird so when there is a man in a club, wearing a suit and long coat and uses a nose mask, no one stops to stares except the ladies who find his eyes beautiful, because that's the only thing they can see.

Suddenly, a movement by the door catches his eye and he looks up abruptly. "Who's there?"A man with a huge build comes inside, bending slightly to avoid hitting his head on the door frame. "Hello Mr Richard."Richard frowns slightly, unable to see his face as he's backing the dimming evening sun. "Who are you and why are you inside my house?""I don't think you should be the one asking the questions but for the sake of clarity, I'll say you should not worry.""Worry about what? I can defend myself even if I'm a vulnerable position like this." Richard bluffs, hoping to scare him away easily but the man just walks up to him and bends down, and in a fluid movement, he turns Richard on to his back. "Let me go! What are you doing ?! Who are you? Did my brother send you? He's beaten me enough already. Let me go!"The man pays no attention to his screaming as he ties his hands and legs together with one string, curling him up painfully. And then scoops him up like he's a simple back of thre

"Do you think it's up to you to do whatever you choose to do?" The same voice from the first visit to the dark room asks Richard who's struggles his to knees. "Who is this?""I don't think I need any introduction, at this point, we're practically besties."Richard is blinded so of course, he can't see anything but has to only rely on his sense of hearing which is very heightened at the moment. "What do you want from me again?""If you remember our last meeting, which I am very certain you do, I told you that when next we meet, you won't be leaving the same way you have come, didn't I?"Richard unconsciously shifts backwards on his knees. "What? What did I do wrong?""Oh, so many things. First, why did you go to the Wang party? What were you going there to do? To float about helping Ray with his corruption? To see what's happening? To see how much you affected the family by kidnapping his daughter?"With every reason he states, Richard flinches, more and more and when he mentions Rich

"Calm down, she'll be fine." "How can I be calm when I can hear her screaming her lungs out here!" Ashton half yells at Grant and then composes himself. "Sorry but I can't help feeling like this when her screams seem to be pushing at my heart right now." Grant smiles and puts a hand on his shoulder. "You'll be fine." In a little bit, the agonizing screams stop and there's calm. Ashton springs to his feet the third time in a minute. A nurse comes out. "She delivered safely. It's a baby girl. She's been dressed now. You can..." She hears her name being called again and goes back inside, not finishing her sentence and the look she gave to Ashton makes him three times more scared. Ivy is in the labour room, her contractions had suddenly started while on a road trip so Ashton had drove like his life depended on it. Well, maybe because his wife's life depended on it and so did his. The baby had come two weeks earlier than the date she's supposed to arrive which has got all of them
Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! All that Wright-ly Matters.
She hugs him gently on the bed and presses a blue button above his head.In about a minute, the doctor with his levy of nurses open the door and come inside. Ivy leaves them to it and steps out for the moment. As soon as she steps out, everyone crowds around her."What's wrong?""Why are the doctors rushing in like that?"Ivy smiles and motions them to calm down. "He woke up just now. I called the doctors for their routine check. We may be able to see him after his checkup."They all sigh in relief and some even hug in relief.She waits with them outside and after a little while, the doctors and nurses finally come out of the room."He's fine now. You all can go in to see him."Without waiting for any other confirmation of any sort, they all push past them like the really big family they are portraying and go inside the room, Ivy goes in last but Veronica gives her the chair so she won't stay standing, tired because of the life growing in her belly.At first, there's nothing but then

The next three hours is a flurry of activities as their families begins to troop in, Grant joining them at a point."Where is he?" Judith asks as soon as she arrives, talking Ivy's in his."They just wheeled him out of the surgery room. I was told to wait outside while they set him up or something."Judith nods. "Oh thank goodness. How did you find him?"She glances at Grant who shrugs right back at her. "I had help from a police officer. He helped me locate him.""Don't tell me it was that one on the news?" Veronica chips in as she comes by, coming into the discussion."Yes, it was him. He just wanted Trust Financials as a reward but I knew he was going to betray me anyway so I didn't really give him.""But the news didn't say you were there?" Judith quips this time."Well, I left there with Ashton and came to the hospital so I wasn't really there. Just popped in and out." She smiles, turning slightly red as she covers one lie with another.Grant laughs and then quickly masks it with
Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! Twisted Truths.
"Grant! Watch out!" Ivy yells as she grabs the gun laying closest to her.Grant whips around and stares right into the barrel of a Beretta '94 that had been left behind by one of Mike's own men.Mike chuckles painfully. He glances momentarily at Ivy who's fiddling with the gun in her hand and scoffs. "You can't even handle it, how can you use it?" He takes his eyes off of her and focuses it on Grant. "So you killed my little brother because he raised the gun at you first? Why am I not dead yet?"Grant rolls his eyes. "Is this one of those villain long talks? I'm sick of them, come on. Just drop the gun and accept your fate. Is that so hard? You lost the fight. Well, leave then." Grant mutters disinterestedly even though he's looking right at a loaded gun.Mike shakes his head. "A fight isn't over until it's really over. Do you know why I took that man? Her husband? After she passed out, I was determined to make him a widower who lost his baby by not letting her to go the hospital on t
Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! Horror!
Recovering from the gunshot and sudden appearance of Grant, Ivy runs for Ashton's who's very weak and his pulse is irregular. She looks around and her eyes land on a bunch of keys on one of Mike's men's trousers.He smirks at her when he sees her eyeing the keys. "Come get them darling."There's a second gunshot and a glaring hole appears right in the middle of his forehead and he falls to the ground. Wordlessly, Ivy runs for his body and removes the key. Mike's men all flee seeing that one dead. They all drop their weapons and run away, leaving Hank and Mike.The fact that her brother just murdered someone doesn't count at in the current circumstances. She loses the chains that he's been tied down with and he falls limply down into her arms. She holds him up with her strength, not letting him hit the ground, the same way he had cushioned her head that night Mike had hit her in the stomach.He moves ever so slightly and his hand come to rest on her legs before he closes his eyes, a ve

True to his words, Hank calls her in thirty minutes. Reminding her that she has thirty minutes to get there. "Where am I meet you?" She asks him on the call."Grey Street Garage..."She immediately springs up from her chair, grabs all the documents from the table and hisses, remembering that place. She had been locked in a warehouse on the same compound for two nights. She inhales sharply and she's sure she's ready to go there.Not like she has a choice anyway.Anita sees her breeze right by but she doesn't say anything, guessing it's about the call that brought back her appetite momentarily. She sighs, wishing her boss well. If everyone in the whole wide world has to go through such thing, she'd never wish it on Ivy. She's basically the best boss she's ever had.The best of the best.Which is why she wishes her luck silently as the elevator doors close with Ivy inside.As soon as she's on the ground floor, she dashes for her car, checking the time every few seconds. It takes about t
Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! Reds in Blood.
The first day went by...So does the second.On the third day, it has Ivy in a bind, pacing in her office.Anita comes in with a plate of vegetable salad and mashed potatoes, and steak in another plate along with another takeout cheeseburger and fries, even chicken nuggets as well, hoping she would eat one of the many dishes.She hardly acknowledges her entrance as she sets all of them down on the table and looks at Ivy as she paces around her table, her eyes not leaving her phone.Even Anita has no idea what she's waiting for but it seems to have so much importance to her so she can't interfere but she can eat while waiting... Right?"Ma'am, you won't eat lunch again? This is the third day you're skipping your breakfast and lunch."Nobody knows about the baby except her family, his family and himself.She looks askance at Anita and then looks away again. "I'm fine. I ate a lot last night.""Really? I was the one who threw the dishes away this morning."Anita has been the one bringing

"Ma'am!" The officer yells as he bangs his palms flatly on the table. "This place is no joking area. There are conclusive evidence against you, all of this interrogations are simply formalities! Do you accept the fact that you did kill Tiara or not?"Yale scoffs. "Technically, Richard killed her not me."In the interrogation room directly upstairs, Richard scoffs. "That bitch said so? She's just trying to shift blames. She was the one who absolutely killed Tiara. As Ivy said in the press conference, I only aided and abetted. I am well aware of that and I am not denying it. But I really didn't kill Tiara."Downstairs. "He aided and abetted? That rat. He was the one who dragged her body to the car and suggested we dump her in the ocean!"Upstairs. "That whore. She said I suggested it? She hit Tiara over the head and make her pass out which I totally witnessed. Then we thought she had died. Thinking of it now, she had not even seemed any scared at all, she just said we should throw the b
Married my Ex-husband's Elder Brother! What it's worth.
A murmur ripples through the whole crowd.Time seems to stand still.The point exactly was that nobody was expecting that was what she had come to say. Nobody, not even Anita who plugs in the flash drive and the presentation begins.Almost soulless and robot-like, Ivy turns around to the projector behind her that has a picture of cars. Not very specific car but a lot of them.Then she begins her presentation, using the laser pointer to point at the things that matter. "We all know Tiara died and her body had been fished out of the sea. Well, she didn't drown, she was murdered so that means she had been carried or somehow transported to where her body had been dumped. There are things called dash cams..." She uses the laser to point just as the image changes into a car's close up view.There is a small device with a blinking red light and she points to it. "That's called a dash cam and not every car has it but every two of five does. Which is why, from the place she had been killed, I
