New chapter! 🤭
Tina froze up, her eyes widened in surprise, and I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. It seemed that the old lady, whom I had always known as a bit of a grump, had actually decided to meet with me. I couldn't help but wonder what in the world she could want. She had never exactly been a fan of Ashlyn, and had never supported her either.I let out a sigh, rolling my eyes playfully. "From one nuisance to another, huh? Fine, I'll be there, but make sure to tell Axel that I will go alone. He shouldn't even think about picking me up or coming to Lana's place. Trust me, Lana would castrate him before I even got a chance. And I'd hate to miss such an amazing opportunity," I said, a mischievous glint in my eyes. "So, he better not show up. I'll go with Tina as my escort."The poor servant, Charles, tried to protest, but I interrupted him. "You tell him what I said. And it'll be a pity if Lana gets to him before I do. I promise you, Charles, I would be pained to miss such an amazing opportuni
Lana's gaze locked onto me, her expression frozen in a mix of fear and curiosity. After a few moments, she mustered the courage to speak, her voice shaking with unease."Why... why do you need to know?"My anger welled up inside me, realizing that Lana was still haunted by her past experiences. Even the mere mention of his name sent shivers down her spine. I clenched my fists, desperately seeking answers."I have to find out where he sent Kyle and Amber. I've tried contacting them, but it's like they've disappeared off the face of the earth.""What?! I spoke to them just this morning.""Ash told me something isn't right. I need to investigate him thoroughly, but I can't because that devilish woman is demanding to meet with me and her annoying child."Lana's eyes lit up with a mischievous spark."Is he coming here to pick you up? I'd love to give him a taste of his own medicine."I let out a sigh. Lana's reaction was predictable, and I was grateful that I had warned Axel about coming h
***“Where the fuck are you Ashlyn? I've been waiting for you outside mom's residence for thirty minutes!” “Go in without me Axel. I'm coming with Tina.”“So you were serious about that?” “Don't sound stupid now Axel of course I was and also with every other thing I said. Do not wait for me and if you do, your loss.”“Mother wouldn't want–” I hung up before Axel could protest and annoy me even more. “Tsk how pesky. I already told him that I wasn't going to be available for him to pick up and he wants to make his mum think we're some happy couple? Who the fuck is he kidding.”“We're here ma'am.”“Oh thanks Tina so I guess it's back to formal addressing till we get back home. Let's get this over with.”“Alright ma'am and best of luck with the Matriarch.”“Haha thanks Baby girl but I don't need luck in this case baby girl. It either goes my way or nothing else happens so! Put on your brave face.”Tina opened the door for me and I stepped out of the car and stood right in front of the
***Lilith smirked in obvious delight. Sigh… What in the world was wrong with this girl? “Of course it's rude to do so Lilith Cedar.”“I'm glad we have similar thoughts on this. May I ask what you got mother?” “Oh it will be arriving soon. I couldn't bring it myself as it was rushed.”***FLASHBACK “Baby you're going to visit your mother-in-law. What do you plan on giving her?” “Huh does Helen even need anything? Not as if I want to get in favour with her or anything.”“Sigh… Reina, for someone so smart, you can be really stupid.”“Ok, ok. What do you suggest I should give her?” She whispered in my ears and I almost stumbled over. “You're kidding…” “Hehe, I'll send it to her address in your name. That old hag will be pleased.”***“So what did you get me Reina?” I was about to reply but was cut short by a knock on the door. “Yes, what is it?” “A package for you Madame.”“From who?” “Mrs Reina.”I smirked to myself. Lucy was sure fast at procuring things she needed. “Alrigh
I was seething with anger when I finally arrived home, leaving me in no mood to chat with Tina or call Lana."Ugh... I just need to take a damn shower and get some sleep. I'm so done with today," I muttered to myself.Interrupting my thoughts, Tina timidly approached me. "Um, ma'am?"I turned to look at her, realizing my tone had come off harsher than intended. Guilt washed over me as I realized she wasn't the source of my frustration. "I'm sorry, Tina. Dinner was just..." I trailed off, searching for the right words."It's alright, ma'am. I was thinking of ways to ease your mind during the car ride, but I couldn't come up with anything," she said softly, a hint of apology in her voice.Touched by her concern, I shook my head. "Don't worry about it, Tina. You shouldn't have to burden yourself for my sake.""But I always worry, ma'am. Thank you for taking care of me today, and I'm sorry you had to deal with Madame's stress. I hope we never have to go there again."I smiled warmly at h
"What the hell Lana? How come they're at Country X!" Reina exclaimed, frustration evident in her voice."I don't know Rei! Dad said they're schooling in another country but it definitely wasn't Country X!" Lana replied, her brows furrowing in confusion."Track them down now!" Reina demanded, her voice laced with anger."On it," Lana responded, her eyes focused on the laptop finding a solution.As the phone rang, Reina swiftly grabbed it and answered the call. "Put that phone on speaker, Reina," Lana instructed, her tone urgent."Sure," Reina complied,as her her curiosity piqued."Hello, what is it?" Lana asked, her voice steady but filled with concern."Boss! It's a code red, we're being attacked!" the voice on the other end of the line exclaimed.Lana's body tensed, her grip on the desk tightening. She quickly snatched it from Reina's hands. "Are there any casualties?" Lana inquired, glancing apologetically at Reina before silencing the speaker.Reina, not one to back down, simply sh
I left them both in that amusing scene, unable to hold back my laughter as I stepped out of the house.“Are we leaving now, ma'am?” Tina asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.“Yes, Tina, let's go,” I replied, my laughter still bubbling just below the surface.My phone buzzed in my hand, interrupting our departure. I glanced down to see a call from Lana lighting up the screen.“Hey, baby. I'm just about to order an Uber. I'll meet you in–”“Look right in front of you,” Lana's voice cut through my phone, drawing my attention.Perplexed, I followed her instruction and was taken aback to find Lana standing there, beaming and waving at me. She had come to pick me up! Overwhelmed by the unexpected surprise, I grabbed my bags and eagerly made my way into her outstretched arms.“Arrgh! It's only been a few hours since you left, but I felt so blue and tired. You're definitely my medicine, the best stress ball in the world!” Lana exclaimed, holding me tightly.As Lana continued to hug me, her
Here to report, sir! Agent 402 was last seen boarding a flight to Country X, and the information obtained suggests that her destination is safe house 1B895.""Safe house 1B895? Hmm, keep tabs on her. When the time is right, we'll bring her here."The younger man saluted and left the office."Country X, huh? I wonder what you're up to this time, Reina…"***"Brrr, I know this place is quite cold, but I wasn't expecting snow! For fuck's sake, it doesn't even snow back home. What sort of…"Ever since we touched down, Lana had been complaining non-stop about the cold and the snow. I saw absolutely no reason for her complaints though. The snow-covered roads were really pretty, and the landscape gave it a homey kind of vibe. Who would ever believe that this place was a meeting point for criminals and notorious for human trafficking?"Ma'am, we've arrived at your destination.""Apologies for my sister's disturbance. She's kind of irritated from being away from home for so long. We're tourist
I could feel the rumble in Axel's chest, a deep and hearty chuckle that reverberated through his body. His laughter was infectious, and I couldn't help but be drawn into the amusing scene that was unfolding right in front of me."Are you okay, Ashlyn?" Axel's concerned voice broke through his laughter, and I couldn't help but be amazed at his acting skills. If only he had pursued a career in entertainment, he would have been a star."What in the world are you doing, Axel? Put that woman down right now," Lilith demanded, her frustration evident in her voice."Shut the fuck up, Lilith. And what are you doing here anyway? Did I invite you over?" Axel retorted, his tone sharp and dismissive."N... no, but we had plans for today. We made the reservation over a month ago," She stammered, feeling a sense of disappointment welling up inside her and displaying itself all over her face."I remember canceling that. Didn't the restaurant inform you? I even asked Liam to let you know that I wouldn
"I pay him more than enough for all the stress he goes through," Axel stated with a sigh and a feeling of sympathy rose in my chest.Axel's secretary , Liam, looked worn down and exhausted as he tirelessly worked to handle the burdens of his job. "Still, poor Liam," I thought to myself, feeling a pang of guilt.Unable to withstand the tension any longer, Axel decided to confront the situation head-on. "Are we going to keep dancing around the main question here, or are you finally going to give me the answer?" he asked, his voice filled with impatience.I smirked mischievously, apparently finding his frustration amusing. "Dancing seems fun. How about we waltz?" I jokingly replied.He scowled at my attempt to lighten the mood. "Not funny, Ashlyn . What. The. Fuck. Happened?" He demanded, my voice laced with anger.I held up my hand, gesturing for him to calm down. "No need to emphasize every word, Axel. I'll tell you, alright? But first, could you get me my phone? I should be getting a c
"Pfft. You silly little thing," I scoffed, unable to hide my amusement. "I could never hate you, man. You're my brother and favorite person right after Reina."The room was heavy with tension as everyone turned to look at me. "Ok, ok, ok! No one is going all soft and emotional here," I proclaimed, trying to diffuse the seriousness. "I can't stand those. Lana? Do you have something to say to these two?"Lana hesitated for a moment before she mustered up the courage to speak. "I--I'm so sorry for jumping to conclusions without asking you what was going on first, Amber," she admitted, her voice filled with remorse. "On the other hand, I'm not sorry for hitting you, Kyle. You should have controlled yourself more.""Lana!" Reina interjected, her face filled with anger. "You broke his teeth and gave him two black eyes. He deserves that apology.""Fine!" Lana responded, her irritation evident in her voice. "Sheesh, Reina. I don't know why you're standing with him in this case, but I guess I'l
Reina's icy demeanor held the room captive, transfixed by her growing aura of intensity. Everyone couldn't help but be drawn to her. "Bi–big sis?" "Rei? I understand you're angry, but please, gather yourself... Your presence is frightening everyone here." "Kyle, get away from Amber this instant, and Amber, come sit next to me." Amber hesitated, hardly recognizing the person before her as her sister. "Amber!" "O-okay." "Good. Now, Kyle, can you explain exactly what happened?" Kyle nervously glanced at the women in the room until he was interrupted by a stranger's voice. "Kyle beat Amber mercilessly and raped her. All under the orders of Maximus Don." Shocked, everyone turned to face the stranger, her words hanging in the air. "And who might you be to accuse my brother of such a horrendous act?" "Oh, excuse me, my name is Donna, ma'am." "Ah, so you're Kyle's ex, I presume?" "Yes, and I sincerely apologize for everything you all went through. It was entirely my fault." "Is
“What expression?” I inquired, curiosity piqued.Axel promptly rose from his seat at the table, a mischievous grin playing on his lips.“I'll tell you someday, my love. But right now, I'm afraid I must rush off to a meeting or risk being embarrassingly late.”I scoffed, knowing well that Axel despised tardiness. “Oh please, you could never be late. It's simply not in your nature.”A smirk danced across his face. “Ah, but you see, my darling, I intentionally delayed to spend a few precious moments with you.”My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Pardon me? What was that? Have you gone all Shakespeare on me? He leaned closer, planting a tender kiss upon my hair before exiting the dining room. I remained seated, stunned by his words, struggling to process the unexpected encounter. It was then that I noticed Tina and Amber exchanging gleeful looks. What on earth were they so delighted about?"Reina, I believe you require a mirror," Tina teased, snapping me out of my embarrassed stupor. The
"Well, that was... Something," Amber said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice."Spill it, Amber," I demanded, rolling my eyes. "Okay, was it just me or did one of the most feared girls in the Organization just declare peace with her so-called 'biggest enemy'?" Amber questioned."First things first, Axel is anything but my biggest enemy. He's more like a minor annoyance that I unfortunately have to deal with, and trust me, I really need that bastard," I explained."Mhm," Amber replied, clearly amused by my choice of words.I noticed her phone buzzing incessantly and pointed it out to her. "Your phone has been going off since we left the dining room. Aren't you going to answer that?""Oh yeah, it's Lana," Amber remembered. "Pick up, you silly thing," I encouraged her.Amber pressed the speakerphone button as she answered Lana's call. "Hey big sis. What's up?""Hey baby girl. I tried calling Rei but couldn't reach her, so I had to bother you.""No probs. She's here with me, so you can s
I couldn't believe my eyes as I observed this eccentric woman going out of her way to save some random stranger, all with the sole intention of getting under my skin. "Fine, I'll give her to you," I finally conceded, unable to resist her antics any longer.Her initial amusement quickly transformed into surprise upon hearing my unexpected response. "Really?! Wait... What do you want in return?" she questioned, suspicion evident in her eyes."Nothing," I assured her, hoping to alleviate her doubts.She shook her head, a look of disbelief on her face. "Axel... I refuse," she stated firmly."And why is that?" I inquired, genuinely curious about her reasoning."You want to have sex with me, don't you?" she bluntly asked, catching me off guard with her boldness.I hesitated for a moment, caught between the truth and the desire to maintain some sense of decorum. "While I must admit that I do enjoy being intimate with Lilith, engaging in a sexual encounter with you would undoubtedly be equal
I had heard sounds of the wild antics that occurred in the living room, so I didn't hesitate to bring Amber downstairs to witness it firsthand. As we descended the stairs, Amber's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the unexpected sight of Lilith and Axel engaging in really passionate sex on the chair. Grinning mischievously, I urged Amber to capture the scandalous scene on video."Amber, get a close up! We can't miss this shot," I exclaimed eagerly."Wow, living with you just keeps getting better and better," Amber replied, clearly amused. She continued recording the shocking display as I moved closer to Lilith and Axel. Lilith finally noticed my presence and hurriedly pushed Axel away, embarrassment painted across her face."It seems that not much has changed since I left. How amusing," I commented dryly.Axel fell over in shock upon realizing my return, stammering out a greeting. Why did he always lose his composure whenever I entered a room? I couldn't help but suppress a laugh
I couldn't help but burst into uncontrollable laughter as I stared at Kyle. "Pfft. Hahaha, money?! Damn, she's even better than Axel now.""It's not funny, big sis," Kyle said, clearly unamused.I tried to nod and keep my laughter in check, but it was quite the task. "I don't know why she would do this for money, big sis. They aren't rich, rich, but at least they lived comfortably. Besides, she could have asked me for anything, and I would have given it to her without hesitation."Sigh... Did Kyle ever stop and consider that Maximus must have had some dirt on her? She must have lied about something from the beginning. "Kyle... Don't you think that Maximus had something on Miranda?""What? Of course not! I checked her and everything. She's completely clean," Kyle insisted."No, she's not," Amber suddenly spoke up.All of us turned to her, curious about what she meant. "What do you mean, Amber?" Kyle asked, his voice laced with tenacity."Exactly what I meant. She isn't clean, Kyle. She
