Ashley Stared intensely at James and Isabella before she said. " How funny the world is. An eighteen years girl like me having a one night stand with a stranger and getting pregnant for him makes me an embarrassment to my family? Whiles those who drugged me to be raped are the honorable ones? Really ironic. " Ashley said sarcastically but tears fell from her eyes. Everyone could hear the pain in her statement and David was not liking it one bit. He just wants to take her away from this place as soon as possible. He fisted his hands into balls looking at her. He wanted to go to her and wiped her tears away, hug her tightly to himself and protect her from even an ant."What did you just say? Who drugged who? " Mr Miller eyes turned to bloodshot. "Dad, don't listen to her. You know what Ashley is doing now? She's trying to make up stories so that you can accept her back into the house. " Isabella said fearfully. She just didn't want to give Ashley the chance to explain or tell their
David and Ashley were in the car now with Xander driving. David noticed Ashley was holding her tears back. She was looking through the car window because she might breakdown if she turns to any direction. David didn't want her to hold back. He wants her to let it out. If she wants to cry, he will give her his shoulder to cry on."Kitten." he called for her attention. " Mhmm. " Ashley hummed in return without altering anything nor moved away from the car window. "Please look a me sweetheart. " David said without knowing where the heck that endearment came from. But he didn't care. At this point, he's willing do or say anything that will make Ashley feel better. Ashley slowly turned to look at him and there it was.... all her eyes were red. It's seems she will breakdown at any moment from now. David cupped her face with his two hands. "Let it out sweetheart, don't hold it back. Just allow the tears to flow on their own. And if you think it's because we are here, then just pretend we
Ashley woke up the next day feeling so refreshing. It's felt like she had slept for eternity. She turned her body and saw David sleeping on the couch in the room still wearing a mask ."He might be extremely ugly to wear mask even when he sleep." Ashley said to herself and gingerly walked towards him.She crunched down and stare at him closely. She could only see his eyebrows and closed eye lashes up to his hair. The rest were all covered with mask.She really wanted to see how ugly he looks. "He really has a long and beautiful eye lashes. Ashley said inwardly. A smile formed on her face whiles looking at him.David choose at that very moment to open his eyes. Ashley flinched and fell on her back. A blush crept on her face out of embarrassment for being caught red handed."Kitten, staring is rude." David said and sat up. Ashley's face turned even redder from what he said. "I wasn't staring. I wanted to see how ugly you look." Ashley defended herself. David chuckled at being called u
Ashley came out from the bathroom after her bath. She saw breakfast was being served already. David raised his head from his phone and saw Ashley in a white bathrobe with her hair dripping of water. He got lost staring at her. The scene in front of him was so beautiful to the extent that he wanted to capture it in his memory. He came back to reality when he heard Ashley's voice. "Staring is rude Mr Dave." she quoted from David's own words earlier. David chuckled and walked towards her. "I was starting at your wet hair." LIES.... "It's not good to leave your hair wet like that. Don't you know that it's won't only affect you but it's will also affect our--- I mean your baby. "Fuck I nearly messed up again. David thought. "Oh okay, I will just take my hair dryer from my bag and dry it now." Ashley said and moved to her bag which was right beside the bed.Crouching down, she opened her bag and brought out her hair dryer. She wanted to go the bathroom and dry her hair but David was fa
Ashley finished eating and went to the bed. She sat there staring at David who was busy with his phone but he never glanced at her or even spoken to her after she shouted at him.It's seems he wasn't used to people shouting at him or he's just so sensitive to people shouting at him.Time after time past without both of them realizing it. Sooner than later, a knock came from outside their room and David knew it was Xander for the later had texted him that he was on his way to their room.David opened the door and Xander came in."Hey buddy, Sup? " he greeted David after he entered. "I'm okay, is everything ready at the penthouse? " David enquired him. "Sure, all set and ready to go. " Xander said with a smile. He shifted his gaze to the bed where Ashley was seated."Hello Kit---""It's Ashley, call her Ashley from now onwards. No more Kitten or whatsoever." David cut Xander off. "Uhm sure buddy. " Xander said and without anyone telling him, he could see the tension in the room.What
"What do you mean by I mean a lots to him. Ashley asked Xander. "Uhm you know, I mean uhm-- uhm., hey why don't I show you your bedroom. Trust me it's took us a very long time before we finished. " Xander tried to change the topic because he didn't know the answer he should give her.Ashley found him strange, but yet still she choose to forgot about what he said.The got up and walked through the staircase. Xander wanted her to take the elevator, but Ashley protested on the account that, she wanted to have a good view of the house. The went upstairs and right to her room. And Ashley was in another total awe. David was right. The room might not be bigger that her formal house, but everything in it shows the luxurious of the room. Moreover, everything was decorated according to her liking. Especially the colors.... then she remembered David asking her about her favorite things in the morning at the hotel. Just the thought of him brought tears in her eyes. "Does he not want me anymore
David woke up early the next day and saw Ashley sleeping soundly besides him. He took off his mask and smiled at the beautiful scene in front of him.Waking up with a teenager he's falling in love with and the mother of his child was something he never dreamt of.His eyes automatically went to her flat belly. His smile widen. He moved slowly to Ashley stomach and kissed it through her nightwear. "Hey bulddy, good morning. Hope you are doing great in there. Buddy could you do daddy a favor? Please Don't give your mommy a hard time okay. She's actually --uhm -- she's actually a teenager you know. Daddy will be here to receive you when you finally come to this world okay. Kiss from daddy." David whispered to Ashley's belly in a low voice and kissed it as if he was actually speaking with someone who can hear him.He got out from the bed and kissed Ashley's lips before he went into the bathroom to take his shower which didn't take long. He came out after his bath and find Ashley still sl
David carried Ashley straight to her bathroom. He placed her in front of the mirror and the sink. He took her brush, put on the paste and asked her to open her mouth and she did so.Ashley felt cherished and loved. When she was kicked out by her father from her house , she could only imagine the worst for her life.Never in a million times did she ever dreamt of been cherished like this. A smile crept on her face whiles she stares at David from the mirror. "You are staring sweetheart." David said whiles looking at Ashley from the mirror too."I am not...." Ashley tried to speak but got choked."Don't speak kitten, gosh you nearly swallowed the whole paste in you mouth. " David said and rinsed Ashley's for her.He carried her to the shower and asked her to bath. Because they haven't gotten to that part he has to bath her."Take your shower quickly. I will be in your bedroom waiting for you or more so downstairs with Xsnder. And please try not to keep long. I have to go to the office a
The next day, Eric woke up in bed all alone without Jade by his side like he always does. He went to the bathroom to search for him, but he wasn't there. “Where the heck is he?” Eric questioned himself as he came downstairs to look for him.It was already 8:37 am and breakfast was served.“Good morning Aunt, and Uncle Dave.” Eric greeted them as he took his seat. His eyes roamed the house, hoping to spot Jade.“Good morning, son, why are you alone here? Where is your fiancé?” Ashley asked Eric, as she also couldn't see Jade.“I have no idea, Aunt. He wasn't in bed when I woke up,” Eric answered sadly. He's used to waking up with Jade and receiving morning kisses. But today, Jade left him in bed to only God knows where.“Good morning, mom, and Dad.” Jake greeted his parents as he helped Annabelle with her seat before he also took his seat.“Good morning son, Anne, how was your night?” David responded to them.“Pretty good Uncle…” Annabelle answered him as she proceeded to serve Jake.“
“Fuck you, Lucas… AIDEN IS MY SON!!” Jade thundered angrily as he moved forward to take Aiden from Lucas's lap, but Derrick stopped him.“Please Jade, just give him a few minutes, please …” Derrick requested him with pleading eyes.“Wh- what do- you me- mean by – that?” Marcus asked with his voice quivering. He didn't even realize that he had let his guard down.Lucas smiled sadly at him as his tears continued flowing. “Can you free Rihanna first, brother?” Marcus didn't need to be told twice as he hurriedly cut the rope that was tying Rihanna. He Fred the handkerchief from her mouth too and immediately turned his attention back to Lucas.Rihanna immediately ran to Lucas and picked Aiden from his lap, as she hugged her sleeping son tightly to her chest and sobbed. “That's right, brother, you heard me right. Aiden is not the son of Jade, HE IS YOUR BIOLOGICAL SON!!!” Lucas stated as matter of fact to his brother. Marcus, who felt like he was going insane didn't know how to digest the
Jade immediately drove his car to the location Marcus gave him.But before that, he made sure everyone else was okay and safe. Jade didn't know what the outcome of his unfaithful meeting with Marcus would be, so he called Derrick and informed him of the situation. Jade asked if Lucas was safe in the house with him which Derrick confirms for Jade's thumping heart.“What is wrong, baby? Why do you look so tense? What did Jade call you for? Why did he call you?” Lucas asked Derrick when he saw the disturbed face of his boyfriend.Though Marcus promised Jade not to say anything to Lucas, but he has to, he has to say something to him. Maybe only Lucas can stop his brother's madness.“My love, we have a big problem… Your brother kidnapped Rihanna in exchange for you, but Jade refused and warned him to stay away from you.He asked Jade to meet him for a duel and whoever wins between them gets to keep Rihanna to himself. But Baby, you and I know that your brother will not duel with Jade. He
THE NEXT DAY “Good Morning, Princess, how was your night?” Kingsley asked Jane with so much love in his eyes. Jane blushed, remembering the intense lovemaking between them last night. She hid her face in his naked chest and answered… "My night was perfect.” Kingsley chuckled at her reaction. “ Let me see your face, Princess,” Kingsley said and lifted her head to meet his. He just kept staring at her for a while before he voiced out. “I really did miss you when I was away, Princess. I kept thinking if you have already forgotten about me. If you have already moved on with your life with someone else… I'm sorry, Princess, I'm sorry it took me so long to return. I'm sorry I didn't know you were also hurting. I'm sorry I --” Jane shut him up with a kiss. They kissed for a while before they broke their kiss. “It all belongs to the past now love, what matters is that we are here together in each other's arms… I love you.” Jane whispered and pecked his lips. Kingsley nodded his head
“Dad, what do you mean by what you just said? What happened to my baby-- I mean Eric? Why did he stab his Papa?I know you just said it was because of me, but it is hard for me to believe that.Maybe he did it under the influence of alcohol. Or perhaps--” Jade started panicking with each of his questions. “Or perhaps what son? I'm sorry to tell you this, Jade, but I think you are just looking for an excuse to keep on distancing yourself away from him.” David cut him off.“But Dad, he rejected me five years ago. He moved away from me on that day when I reached out to him. He was the one who left me, Dad. I didn't.” Jade defended himself as he tried to keep his tears at bay.David heaved a sigh and gave his son all his attention. “You see what I was trying to tell you all a while ago? We all believe what our eyes see before it has proven otherwise. I tell you what son, if Eric didn't move away from you that day, perhaps you might be in your grave at this moment. You wouldn't have eve
“Dad? What are you here?” Jade asked not in a rude manner, but he was rather surprised to see his father at his door. “Uhm, can I come in?” David asked his surprised son. “Yeah, sure, come in Dad,” Jade said as he hurriedly opened the door for him. David walked inside and both Annabelle and Kingsley, together with Rihanna, were surprised to him there. “Uhm, hi… I hope everyone is doing great?” David asked, feeling awkward. “We are doing great Uncle, how are you and Aunt Ash doing too?” Annabelle asked walking to David. She greeted him with a hug which soothed David's thumping heart of anxiety. “We are doing great, Princess,” David said after he broke from their hug. “Uncle Dave…” Kingsley said as he extended his hand to shake David's. “King, how are you doing? You really look manly than before.” David said, making Kingsley blush and scratched his head. Both Kingsley and Annabelle actually held nothing against David. He didn't wrong them in any way, they just didn't like how
“AND WHO SAID HE KILLED ME!!” There came Annabelle's voice, which dropped like a bomb on everyone. She walked in looking more gorgeous than ever with Rihanna beside her.“DADDY…!!!“UNCLE….”Jaden and Aiden's voices also came in as they ran to Jade, who crouched down and hugged them with a big smile.No words can explain what or how everyone was feeling. The word shock can never compare to what and how they were feeling.“My Anne…?” Jake whispered, not believing his eyes.Ashley, David, Jane, Brian, Ken, and Eric were stupefied by what they were seeing. Not to mention the visitors. They knew Annabelle was dead, so seeing her in flesh and blood turned them into another world.“ANNE!!” Eric exclaimed as he ran to his sister and hugged her to see if she was a ghost. He couldn't believe that it was actually his sister.Annabelle hugged him back as the siblings cried. She can be angry with anyone except her brother Eric.She knew Eric never intended to hurt Jade. Not only that, but she kne
They had a pleasant flight back to South Country, except with Aiden and Jaden a little disturbed.They all wore masks, except Derrick, as they arrived.As soon as they came out from the airport, Jaden and Aiden run to a certain figure waiting for them.“Grandpa!!” The little boys screamed as they ran to Xander. “Hey, my Angels… How are you doing?” Xander exclaimed as he crouched for the kids to reach him.He picked them up and spun them around, making them giggle in happiness. “Grandpa, we've missed you. Why did you stop visiting us?” Jaden asked as he played with Xander's bear.“Oops, my bad buddies. Grandpa had been caught up with work here and there. That's why I couldn't come to visit you before you came.” Xander explained to them.Aiden rolled his eyes and wiggled from Xander's embrace. Xander looked at him puzzled. “ What's up, buddy? Why are you angry?” Xander asked as he tried to reach him, but Aiden moved away from him and went to Jade.“My Dad said we shouldn't accept an a
FIVE YEARS LATER…It's been five good years since everything happened, and five years since Jade left the country.Many things have happened between both parties. Ken and Brian went crazy when they found out that Jade had left the country.They even searched other countries just to have him arrested, but they couldn't find him.Derrick, on the other hand, returned to the South country the next day he took Jade and the rest to the North Country. He would rather not cause any suspicion. He stayed with his parents for a week before he returned to the North Country.There, he told Jade and the rest about his story with Lucas.Surprisingly, he didn't even know Lucas before. He just saw a picture of a young, handsome boy sleeping on the hospital bed that Rihanna sent him.His heart sped just at the mere picture, and that was when he decided to help Lucas to recover and then claim him as his.And he really achieved his goal after two good years of Lucas being in a coma, he finally woke up.
