When she came to her senses, Ashley quickly grabbed her ID card on the seat.
As she touched the marriage certificates, she unconsciously opened them and saw her name.
The other name next to hers was Levi! That was the driver of Stone Group's young master. She had truly gotten marriage certificates with him!
Ashley looked at the two names side by side in utter shock. She had only meant to sleep with him once, but he must have gotten the idea she wanted this for the rest of her life.
Regretful, Ashley wrapped a strand of hair around her finger, wishing she could slap herself.
"Is Levi out of his mind?" Staring at the marriage certificates, Ashley continued , "But you also pushed him into this" she shrugged
"Anyway, this isn't all his fault. I said something at the Civil Affairs Bureau have made him think I wanted this. But I don't have the right state of mind to get married or the confidence to make a relationship work. I don't know what to do to get other people's trust in me.." she continued
"Sorry, Levi", she thought.
She quickly put her ID card in her pocket but didn't dare to touch the two certificates beside it again.
Realizing the car was parked on an overpass, she looked out of the window and saw the man's back. The sun slowly rose, covering his tall and strong figure, as if he had a special light around him.
She took a pause to look at him closely, imprinting his figure in her mind.
Without any hesitation, she opened the door and got out of the car. Then she made her way through the crowd and other vehicles, quickly disappearing in the distance.
Since the overpass was congested with cars and angry people, naturally, one noticed that the tall and fragile girl had gone and where she went
Afterward, Ashley went straight to the airport, where she bought an air ticket and flew to the United States.
Immediately the plane took off, Ashley took a deep breath and said "Carrivile goodbye. I would come back very strong"
The first thing she did once she arrived there was to draft a divorce agreement and a commission for the attorney who would take care of it. Then she sent the papers to her best friend and asked her to forward them to Levi of Stone Group.
She didn't think she could handle a marriage or any kind of relationship now and refused to restrain Levi with the marriage. As long as he signed the divorce agreement and submitted it, everything would be fine.
Such a short marriage could be treated as if it never happened to him.
She then looked around to see what she can be doing to sustain herself to gain a footstool I'm the United States because she doesn't want to be traced by those she has left behind.
But she does not know what fate holds in stock for us both in the present and in the future
However, four months later, Ashley found herself pregnant. Everything had happened so quickly after her escape, she calls it an escape (because she has left the claws of her father and her doubting fiance); that she hadn't considered taking a morning-after pill. At the time, Ashley hadn't thought she would have a baby.
Because of what happened to her while growing up, she had always been scared of given birth and also of being a mother. She felt she would never be a good one.
And also there was nothing on ground to sustain the baby when it comes. It is very difficult for her to take care of herself lest another extra mouth.
Since her period wasn't regular, and she had chronic gastritis, she didn't pay much attention to her symptoms. She thought all the discomfort she felt was caused by her stomach disease.
It was not until her symptoms worsened that she went to the hospital and found she was all that was not until her symptoms worsened that she went to the hospital and found she was a few months pregnant already.
Once Ashley got the examination report, her pretty face fell, and her heart turned into a mess.
She closed her eyes then, and suddenly her mind was filled with little images of Levi's face calling out "mommy" she immediately shut out the images and emptied her mind.
As she opened her eyes again, Ashley reread the examination report carefully and confirmed she was indeed pregnant.
How could a woman unable to maintain a relationship get along well with a child?
Ashley's eyelashes fluttered weakly as she thought about what to do. Clenching her hands, she finally decided that the best solution was to have an abortion.
"I'm sorry ma'am, you can't have an abortion" the consulting doctor said to Ashley when she decided to abort the baby
"Why" she asked sadly as the thoughts of birthing the baby dawned on her.
"The baby is already a few months old, and it has already developed up to the size of a baby to be born. We can't operate you anymore"
"So ma'am you can't have the abortion. I'm sorry, Miss Ashley,it's impossible"
"Besides, you're expecting twins. Are you sure that's what you want to do?"
"What of their father. Are you sure that the step you're about to take is in the best interest of the babies father and the babies themselves."
"Their father" she zoned out "He left me to be with another woman." It was as if her heart sank at her statement
Ashley thought that since she has already sent the divorce papers, Levi has signed them and has got married to another person. That's was why she was able to give that explanation about him.
These were twins. Was she really considering killing them?
Ashley closed her beautiful eyes, trying to hide her sadness every time she had to hear those kinds of responses.
A few months later, in a hospital in the United States, As8 entered the delivery room.
By the time she opened her weak eyes, she met the doctor's regretful gaze as he said, "Miss Ashley, one of the children hear was not beating well. We've done our best, but.."
A mix of joy and sadness took over Ashley's heart. She had never felt so torn in her life.
Five years later. Ashley had just arrived at the Anina Airport. With her chestnut hair hung over shoulders, the woman in a beige long coat and high-heels looked at the strange yet familiar clouds in the sky while holding her suitcase. She was only 20 when she left. Now that she came back, she was already 25. Her previous baby face, however, had grown mature and more beautiful with time. A four-year-old boy in a formal suit could be seen accompanying her. Judged by his stern little face, one could assume he would become a handsome man in the future. Pursing his thin lips, he followed closely behind Ashley as she walked. "Alex, Ash!" A woman suddenly rushed over and hugged Ashley. At the sight of her old best friend, Audrey, Ashley held her back. Releasing her friend, Audrey couldn't wait to lower her head to look at Alex. She then releasing her friend, Audrey couldn't wait to lower her head to look at Alex. She then said in astonishment, " Ash, your boy is even more handsome in p
Immediately, they left for the restroom. She caught a glimpse of what looked like the back view of Levi. But she could not ascertain if he was the one, because the man was escorted into the private room of the restaurant so she was not able to see his face."It can't be Levi. He is just a driver, I must have been thinking a lot about him which makes me think that all men looks like Levi" She thought Few minutes later, Audrey and Alex came back from the restroom. They paid for the food they are and left the restaurant.Ashley had worked as a model in the United States for many years and made some money. Now, she spent all her money on this house in order to secure the life of her son, Alex.She knew that Levi was just a driver. It would be a heavy burden for him to bear the responsibility of being a father when he was totally unprepared.That was why she had to get everything ready earlier on her own.On getting outside the restaurant. Ashley said goodbye to her Son. She squatted in f
As she was going, she was thinking about the car that she just saw at the entrance. The person driving that car looks so much like Levi.Just then the same the car passed her, Ashley immediately recognized the man who was sitting in the driver's seat. It was her husband, Levi! She is 100 percent sure that the person she saw at the restaurant and in the car previously was him.It seemed that he was more mature than five years ago, and temperament seemed to be calmer and wiser than before. She had always known that he had a handsome face, but she had never thought that even his side profile would look this good. His sharp jawline looked perfect. even at a glance, his"Levi!" she cried out without thinking. Hearing this, the man turned his head sideways and shot her a cold glance, but then he turned back to the front and continued to step on the accelerator without looking at her anymore. The car quickly moved forward.In just a moment, he had already put considerable distance between h
Levi trudged back to his car. He sat in the driver's seat with his eyes closed a long time before he finally calmed down.The sudden sound of his phone ringing interrupted his train of thought. He picked up the phone and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom."Mrs Emily Stone, an elegant woman. She has been the head of the family for years since the death of Levi's father. So the family has been directed by her firm grip, she left the position for Levi 6 years ago when she knew he was matured enough to lead the family."Hi Son. Can we meet. I have something important to discuss with you." Mrs Stone said excitedly on the phone " Alright Mom. Where do you want us to meet" he replied her"At the restaurant opposite your company that your employees visit during lunch""Okay Ma. See you soon" he hung up the call In a fancy restaurant, the elegant Mrs. Stone looked at her son's long face, and asked worriedly, "What happened?""Nothing! Levi lowered his head and cut the steak carefully, but his mov
With her long legs and strong but slender figure, Ashley was particularly eye- catching in the crowd."Ashley, come here, " Maria called excitedly. "You look even more graceful now than when you were on the stage. You're really a treasure."Maria was happy. She was able to get a model a beautiful one at that, so she wanted her to look more beautiful and show her off to everyone by bringing her out."Thank you, Maria. I'l count on your care and help in the future, " Ashley said, raising the corners of her delicate red lips into a smile."Of course. You are my model now. Go inside. You should first establish a basic friendship with the interviewers tonight and try to pass the initial test in a few days," Maria smiled.Ashley nodded and walked along the red carpet. She had done this before, so she was not anxious at all. She walked in a calm and elegant manner, exuding confidence from every inch of her body. She walked as if she was born a model and with grace and also as if the runway
"Look over there. Those are all supermodels from Europe and America!" The man pointed in another direction and said, "And those women over there; are all new but outstanding supermodels from our country Carrivile Country" Steven said to his brotherLevi looked up at him with an utterly uninterested expression on his cold face. "When can we leave or should I say when are we leaving?""Are you so unwilling to stay here? Wait, I don't understand you again brother. What kind of women do you like? You refused the highly cultured ladies; the very beautiful socialites of Carrivile, you rejected them""Again, you said you don't like the gentle and dignified female doctors; you are not interested in female elites either; and you are not bothered to even sneak a glance at even the famous actresses."Steven said all at once " But Brother, at least I'm begging you let one of these supermodels here be able to attract your attention. You would be able to pick one, right?"Steven asked, throwing
"Ashley, you left in a hurry just now. I didn't have the chance to give this to you!" Maria handed an exquisitely-packaged box to her. "Our company has prepared this gift for every model who is attending this party. You can give it to any of the judges to express your gratitude and leave them a good impression of both you and our company"Ashley took the box with a graceful smile."Thank you, Maria. I'll go ahead, then"Looking at Ashley's receding figure, Maria let out a sigh of relief.She had no choice but to follow Lucia's orders, because she was the boss and anyone that wants to survive in this industry must do according to her bidding. She felt pity for Ashley since she had both the looks and the talent needed to become a successful model, so it would not be difficult for her to get selected.But it stills baffles Maria how Ashley offended Lucia that the latter wants to cut off her wings before she can even fly. “There is nothing I can do for her my hands are crossed. I hope
That mysterious woman had finally shown up again!Except for a quick glance in the afternoon, the two of them hadn't seen each other for five years.In Levi's mind, she was still the childlike girl who had said she had a little favor to ask him in the Civil Affairs Bureau.With coldness in his eyes, he asked slowly,"Do I know you?"A trace of sadness flashed in Ashley's eyes. It turned out that he had forgotten everything.But it didn't matter. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she didn't expect him to remember her."Mr. Stone, my name is Ashley. Ashley Brown" But it was very painful that he does not remember her even after what they shared that evening which later produced Alex, her handsome son. The thought of Alex brought calmness to Ashleys disturbed mind.She felt she can understand his plight since she left him in a very unreasonable manner that belittles his dignity as a man.The thought of Alex brought calmness to Ashleys disturbed mind."Five years ago, I got t
Maria could sense a lot of hostility between the two of them. No wonder Lucia had given her such a ruthless task as soon as she had seen Ashley.Lucia's lips curved up into a gentle smile. "Yes, I like this job. She turned to Maria and said, Miss Maria, Ashley is my very good sister. Please take care of her for my sake, okay?"Maria eyed Lucias pretentious attitude but she had no choice but to respond to her Miss Brown. It is wonderful for you to trust me with your very good sister. Be sure that I would take very good care of her for your sake she said playing more emphasis on the I would take good care of her for your sake Ashley had already known that it wouldn't be easy for her to develop her career in Cariville Country. Since she in the Browns territory specially under the care of their precious little miss because she know that Luci
Realizing that Levi wasn't willing to give her his phone number, Ashley faltered slightly, and a touch of regret and disappointment flashed through her eyes. Just when she was about to withdraw her hand, however, he reached out and took the gift box."Mr. Stone!" Ashley exclaimed with renewed joy in her eyes. "I’ve written my phone number there. Please contact me after you cool off or when you feel you are ready to listen to what I have to say""Do you think the anger of five years can disappear in a moment?" Levi took the gift, clenching it with his slender fingers, and then set his glass down on the table with a thud, got up, and strode out of the hall.He tightened his grip on the gift box until his blue veins protruded from his fingers.“Anger of five years” Ashley wondered in confusion. Hadn't he said that he didn't remember her? In that case, how could he be angry at her for five years? Perhaps he did remember her, but he hated her for leaving without informing him. She had prob
