Ashley
I was done packing my bags, I can't believe after such a long time, years and everything I'm finally going to leave this place, I could remember my first time in this house. This place became a home for me. It gave me shelter and became my peace of mind. But fortunately, I'm going to be leaving that home today, probably everything happens for a reason.
Taking one last look at my room, I pulled down my strolling bag. As I started strolling it outside, I already called my taxi driver. His face changed when I walked outside with my big bag, and handbag. He came out and helped me put the bag in the car trunk.
I wanted to enter when I felt like I'm being followed, this is the feeling I've been having recently, I consciously look over my shoulders but when I didn't see anybody, I calm down concluding maybe it's the pregnancy hormone
"Ma are you leaving?" The old man who has been like my friend and also a taxi driver ask
I sighed not knowing how to break the news to him, probably he won't be happy
"Yeah….I'm leaving Los Angeles, I need a change of environment" I muttered, looking out of the window
''Safe journey, ma and thank you for helping me the other time, everything is now under control" He muttered looking pained and happy at the same time
"I'm happy to hear that" I smile
We drove into the airport, he helped me down with my language
"Thanks" I muttered and give him the fifty-dollar notes from my purse, he wanted to reject them when I said
"Take you'll need it" I smile stretching the money towards him
"Thank you so much and God bless you, all the best wherever you go," He said thanking me
"It's okay, drive safely" I wave at him as I watch him drive off.
I sighed and look around the airport which was already filled with people of different caliber, Nelly is supposed to be here already I wonder what's keeping her,
I look at my phone to see I still have one hour before my flight, I didn't know where to go from. I picked up my phone and dialed Nelly's mobile number
"Turn around," She said, making me turn. Smile plastered on my lips as I see her waving her hands at me
"I thought you wouldn't come," I said pouting my lips, Like a baby
"Ohh come on I can't leave you" She giggled and pulled me into a hug,
"How's my baby doing" She giggled touching my stomach
"Stop being dramatic it's not a baby yet," I said and we burst out laughing
"Make sure to drop your house address immediately after you settle down okay?"
"Yes ma" I smile touching her cheeks, she has already reminded me of this like a thousand times already.
''Tell me Ashley, are you sure this is what you really want?" She asks looking into my eyes,
We are now sitting at a spot in the airport, since my flight is still late we decided to do some catching up
"Why do you ask?" I said looking into her eyes
"Don't you want to meet the stranger who you have yearned so much for? Even though you don't know him, his mere presence only had you in cloud nine, you felt safe and for the first time someone made you feel like a woman, someone adored your body…don't you want to know who he is?" She asks, looking into my eyes with love
"Do you think anybody would want to be with an ex-stripper like me?"
"Of course baby, you're everything you don't know you are"
"Listen, Nelly, I don't even know this man, and how sure are you that I will ever get to see him again"
"Maybe you should have waited a little bit longer, you never can tell," She said shrugging her shoulder
Smile my friend is having a wild thought again
"Hey, why are you smiling?" She asks frowning her face,
"Maybe you forgot but I didn't get to see his face so stop hallucinating for what will never happen" I giggled, pinching the bridge of her nose
"Awwch…that's hurt" She whines touching her nose
"Just say you'll miss me and want me to stay," I said with a high shoulder
"Eiyyy..stop fooling yourself, he saw your face so if you didn't see his, he saw yours" She giggled making my head snap towards her,
"She's probably right," My conscience said, my heartbeat reverberated immediately
"Ohh…no this never cross my mind, but why hasn't he showed up," I said anxiously looking at Nelly,
"That's why I said you should have been patient"
I sighed looking at my bags, no…I can't stay, I made up my mind already
"I can't stay," I said looking away
"Fine…it…" Melly was talking to me when she got a message on her cell phone
"I'm coming," She said walking away,
"Where to….?!!" I screamed but she was already out of sight,
"Bad girl" I murmured, struggling with my bag as I stood, I wanted to go and get some ice cream when suddenly three black SUVs stopped right before me, I wanted to turn and walk away when the first car was suddenly opened, a tall handsome young man, came down from car looking drop-dead gorgeous, I guess the people at the airport noticed his cuteness too, the next minute sound of camera was clicking everywhere
His gorgeous nature sealed my breath away, for some reason I'm forced to compare him with my handsome stranger, but I couldn't pick either of them as both of them gave me the same chills
"Put her bags in the car" He ordered his guards
"Excuse me, I'm sure you mistook me for someone else," I said trying not to sound rude
"Get into the car we have a lot to talk about" He muttered coldly acting kike I didn't just talk
"I'm going nowhere with you" I muttered, but the next minutes I was already in his arms, entering the car
"Who are you? Listen you got the wrong person I'm not the person you're looking for"
"Shut up kitten," He said, and dang! That was almost what the stranger called me
"Excuse me?" I said
"Who are you?"
"Kitten if you don't stop asking I'll use my lips to shut you up"
"But.. "
"Kitten…." He growls in a warning manner, making me blush.
"Fine but who are you?"
He smirks and turns toward me,
"You're something else" He groans, the next minute, he swaps our position making me sit on his lap, while he deep his face in the crook of my neck
He sucked and bite on my neck, crazily eliciting a moan from me, with my fingers dug deep into his hair, pulling him dangerously closer.
He licks my neck up to my earlobe, catching me off guard with his whisper
"I'm your one-night stranger"
AshleyThe car pulled into a very big mansion catching me off guard, I wanted to climb down the car but he caught me off when he carried me out of the car, I wanted to protest, but for some unknown reason I found myself blushing and hiding my face in his chest. I could hear a series of greetings from his guards and maid but I dared not raise my head up.Many questions were popping up in my head already like "What does he do for a living?" "How can someone be so fucking rich?"I felt him dropping me on something soft, I look down to see its a couch, looking around a scream nearly tore from my mouth on seeing the interior decoration of this building"This is parading" I muttered not knowing I was loud"You like it!" He asks me to clear my throat and adjust on my seat.I cleared my throat, I have a lot of questions I want to ask him this time around"Why didn't you show up after what happened?" I ask folding my two hands below my boobs"Leave us…." He authoritatively said to his guard
Ashley BrooklynI finally let my tears flow immediately after he left the room, my legs feels shaky as they wobble on the floor, I couldn't stand anymore, slowly I held onto the bed as I lowered on itDifferent thoughts were running through my mind,"Why is he suddenly like this?" His words are so hurting, so heartbreaking that for the first time in years I was forced to judge my actions. Damn I've been through hell, he has no right to judge me "He's nobody" I yelled in tears, clinging onto the sheet, "He's nobody to judge me" These were the words I continued to whisper to myself. I was in pain, "He's a monster, he has no conscience" I screamed, not minding if I'm alone or not. My heart has been smashed to pieces, my hopes have been shatteredHow could I have thought that a client would ever love a stripper like me, once again he showed me he's like others, just after my body and nothing elseI coiled myself in a bun, I used a stripper but he didn't have to rub it on my face, he
AshleyI felt someone pulling the sheet off my body, I cling to the shit tightly not opening my eyes"Go away" I muttered sleepily turning to the other side of the bed, I was still sleeping when the fresh aroma of mashed potatoes hit my nose, making me lick my tongue unconsciously"Kitten…wake up" I heard that familiar voice followed by a kiss on my forehead, My frown deepened as I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see Nicklaus wearing apron with a tray of food in his handI sighed and sat up, rubbing my eyes sleepily. I looked around and released. I'm now back in our room. My mind raced back to what happened yesterday, I remembered sleeping off in Nanny proller's arm after Nicklaus kicked me out of the room with his mistress"Good morning kitten" He gritted, dropping the food on the table, he bent to kiss my lips but I turned away making the kiss land on my cheeks"Kitten…" He frowns"How did I get here?" I ask cutting him off, I watch as he scratches his hair with a guilty expression
Ashley The drive was short as his company wasn't that far, I drove into the company and parked at the parking lot before coming down"Wow……" I was shocked looking at the massive building, every part of the building is glassy, I walk into the building and saw the receptionist"How can I help you ma?" She asks with a happy face looking at me"I came to give my husband his lunch" I muttered happily"Okay who….?'' "Nicklaus the CEO""What…?" She asks looking confused"I'm his wife," I said, "Any problem?" "No…not at all take the elevator by the end side, it takes you to his office""Thanks" "You're welcome" I walk towards the elevator where was written"CEO PRIVATE" I walk into the elevator and waited, as it takes me up, it beeped and opened, I came out and look at the extreme to see a glass door which has the CEO at the top, I walk towards it and it opened immediately I stood in front of it.I walked in, only to see a lady sitting on Nicklaus's lap, he held onto her waist as they m
Rex povI was coming to see Nicklaus to give him the update we needed for the Chinese contract, I was surprised to see him pushing Ashley, she nearly fell if not that I caught her halfwayI watched as Nicklaus taunted and called her names and that really broke my heart, right now I'm with Ashley driving her down to her friend's Cafe shop since she said she's too heartbroken to go back to Nicklaus's house at the momentI watch as she cried inside the car, looking at the lady before me, I could only see one thing and that's a strong woman, a lady who has been through shit and still came out strongFuck! She might be an ex-stripper but she got her pride and her reason, not everybody wanted that life and Nicklaus knows that he's only allowing the past to cloud his sense of judgment I hope it won't be too late before he realizes thisFor peter's sake he's madly in love with this same lady he's treating like shit "I'm sorry Ashley, I'm sorry that you have to see this side of Nicklaus" I mu
NellyI watch as my best friend breaks down in tears in front of me, my heart shattered into a billion pieces, I watch as she shivers while telling me about Nicklaus's true identity and what he has been putting her throughHeck! I couldn't take it anymore, Ashley used to be a strong woman, she was so confident that no man was able to break through her walls, I was worried, so worried that my friend was never going to come out of her shackles and then she decided to her job after her last clientI was happy, so happy that my joy knew no bounds, I wanted her to see more to life apart from that strip club, I thought that maybe when she's finally out of there she can see that the world is colorful to be too uptightShe came back after her last client, everything suddenly changed, she fell in love, she fell so hard that she became fond of the unknown stranger she had a one-night stand with. My hopes were raised high. I was happy, finally, my friend's life is going to be adding some colors…
NicklausI couldn't concentrate on my office work, it's been one whole week since Ashley left my company with Rex and since then she hasn't come home, I decided to let her be but damn! It's driving me insaneRex said she's with her friend, and the last thing I want is to have another encounter with her friend, gosh! That woman is a lion.Her eyes alone can make you pee on your pants, but I can keep on doing this, I fucking miss her even though I can't voice it out to anyone. We just spent two days together and I've gotten used to her smiles except for the days I made her cry.I want to give in….fuck I want to show her the whole world, I want other women to kiss her feet while she passes, but I can't…..I can't let her know she's my weakness, I can't let her know how much I want her, I can't show her that I've craved her long agoI'm afraid I might lose her if I do that, for all I know women, will always be women they can never be trusted and I refuse to give in to that temptation, I c
AshleyI came to our room in the morning to see everywhere sparkling. I would have thought Nicklaus had left for work if not for the sound of the shower that was running. I sighed and walked deeper into our room to see a fresh breakfast on the bedside table.I sat on the bed waiting for him to come out, maybe this time around I'm going to tell him I'm not a kid he bribes with morning breakfast all the time, not after leaving me with no dignity, I sat on the bed, my two hands folded below my boobs, with two feet tapping furiously on the floor. I heard the bathroom door opening, and I stood up furiously"How dare you prepare me another meal? Do I look like a kid you bribe with food? after dragging dignity to the mud and leaving me with nothing?!!!" I ask furiously releasing my anger on him"I messed up I know, but can we fix this?" He asks catching me off, guard, This wasn't the response I expected from him, not this reaction."Excuse me?" I ask avoiding his eyes, for fuck sake how c
AshleyWalking down the aisle with my protruding stomach, I can still reminisce on years back, how we fought for our love, how we fought to be togetherMany circumstances tore us apart, we separated so many times, but fate was still good enough to bring us back each timeI can't forget the saying that one's destiny can be delayed but cannot be deniedMy love for Nicklaus was delayed for many years yet here we are never giving up. Months back my most trusted friend tried to take me away but God didn't allow it. We fought, we failed, we stood up, we fought again and now we're victorious. If there's one thing I know it's the fact that my husband might be a mafia but he's not evil and I'm holding onto that till my very last breath, Looking at him, I could sense the impatient in his eyes, he could wait to have me in his arms, with our baby were going to start a new home, a new life…free from the enemies, just us our child against the worldOur love story might not be perfect, heck…it has
AshleyIt's been six months since Nicklaus found out I was pregnant, he canceled the wedding and insisted that till the baby is born there will be no weddingNicklaus has been the best fiance so far attending to all of my needs and of course treating me like a princess.Nelly and Bianca visit almost all the time to check up on me, and I'm happy. I just wish Nelly and Rex settle down already those two are not getting any younger, but Nelly kept on saying that she's too young to be pregnant Bianca told me that she's seeing someone but she doesn't know where the relationship is heading to….since the guy has not speak up at all.Nanny proller now leaves with us in our new house and she pampers me a lot. Her and Nicklaus doesn't allow me to lift a finger since I became pregnant and seriously those two are spoiling me too much"Not like you ain't enjoying it" My conscience lashed at me"Jeeez joy killer" I muttered rolling my eyesI've been laying on the bed since morning after Nicklaus se
AshleyMy eyes opened, "Kitten…" I heard that familiar voice, my sight was blurry, I closed it and opened it again"Where I'm I?" I ask looking around"Sweetheart you're finally back to me" I look up to see Nicklaus looking at me with teary and hopeful eyes"I thought I was going to lose you forever" He muttered caressing my cheeks, this one of the rare moments I've seen Nicklaus so broken"Ohhh……my baby is awake" Nelly rushed towards me from nowhere, she pushed Nicklaus aside and engulf me in a tight hug"Hmmmmm…Nelly, I'm not breathing" ''Ohh…sorry was just over-excited and got carried away" She smile pulling away from the hug"Welcome back sweetheart" Bianca hugged me, "Thank you" I muttered slowly"And the big baby is finally awake" "Rex……" I called"I missed you" He smiled and pecked my forehead, a growl was heard beside me, definitely from Nicklaus"Ohh….dear your husband is about to murder me"I sighed and look at Nicklaus who has a guilty look on his face"Why?""Kitten…..
Ashley I have been locked up in this room since I was kidnapped. Turns out the monster behind the act was no other person but Marcus.How stupid of him? Sometimes I wonder why all this year's I never noticed this side of him, "Hmmm…." I laugh at myself pathetically, he must have been so good in hiding every bitter part of himFor fuck sake today was supposed to be my wedding day, I was supposed to be walking down the aisle today with my Nick, but all thanks to Marcus and his obsessive desire he has ruined thatEvery time….every time life tries to smile at me, every time I think things were finally falling in place something happens and takes that joy away from meFor Pete's sake, I deserve to smile too…I deserve to be happy like others"Why is all these…..happening to me"Many times, I've tried to escape, I've tried to look for a means to get out of this shackle of a place, but the animal was smart enough to block every means of escape thereby leaving me helplessI refuse to eat any
Niklaus BaldwinI couldn't control my anger as I left Nelly's room, the thought of what my kitten would be going through right now is fucking driving me insaneI tried to be calm, but heck! I can't not when my kitten is not here. I continue to pace back and forth while Rex and Carter stood watching me.At this rate I might die, those fucking bastards leave no trace, I can't even track get number all because her damn phone is switched off, they might have broken it who knows"Listen Nick you have to calm down?" "How the fuck do you want me to calm down how!!" I screamed breaking the flower vase at the corner"You need to fucking calm down so we can strategize our plan!!" Rex screamed back at me"I'm fucking losing my sanity don't you get it?" "For fuck sake man…you're not the only one that's worried, Ashley is so important to me too and so is Nelly, so you better be a man so we could figure something out""Boss….sir Rex is right….you need to calm down" "I'm sorry…" I muttered lowly
NellyI lay on the ground wailing in pain and agony, not because I was shot, but because they have taken Ashley away and killed our driver, This part of the road was lonely and nobody could come to our rescue, I tried to stand up but heck! The pains in my hand are fucking painful that I felt like passing outI was still struggling when two SUV'S pulled up before me, I made to run but the Nicklaus and Rex came out of it and rush towards, with guards behind them"Fuck!" Nicklaus and Rex hissed as they both approach me"What happened to Ashley?" Nicklaus asks looking at me expectantly, How do I tell him that some unknown people took her"Please Nelly speak I'm fucking going insane!!!" He screamed and that scared that he'll out of me, ''Fuck Nick, you need to take it easy with her" Rex said and came to my side as he hugged me to himself, I could sense the anger emitting from him, but he's fighting everything in him to keep it in."What happened?" Rex asks calmly, "They….they…..they….t
Ashley It's been one week since my proposal, we are finally back in Nicklaus's mansion since I insisted I don't want to stay in his penthouse again, he bought a new mansion and we currently staying there, well if you ask me why we didn't go back to our form mansion, it's because of the bad memories, I don't want them back.The week has been so hectic for me, and Nelly since Nicklaus insisted on us having a grand and massive wedding, I wanted to use my hand and plan my own wedding this time aroundThough Nicklaus was against it, I had to talk him into agreeing to it, well it's so surprising that I haven't heard from Marcus since he left my company and my mansionMy workers in my mansion called to inform me that he parked his stuff and left the house after the day I took back my company, thinking back to that invent I never know Marcus is that desperate to have meAll thanks to Lucas for all the sense and tactics he installed in me as a business mogul, remembering that brought tears to
Rex I watch as Nicklaus and Ashley hug each other in a right embrace and that alone brought thousands of joy to my soulNicklaus has fucking have her eyes on Ashley for a very long time, Nicklaus is my best friend and I will do anything to see his happy.We've come so far in our friendship, we have been through a lot, that even though he's the head of Bratva underworld, that did not stop and affect their relationshipLooking at Nick and Ashley's lives for each other, I know I will go to any length to ensure their happiness"But fuck! This woman here has been fucking distracting me, and tonight she's going to get punished for putting on such short clothe" I muttered referring to NellyYeah….I know it's crazy, heck…I don't even know how it all happened, I just find myself falling so helplessly in love with herI know she loves me too, Heck!

AshleyI stir in my sleep, and finally opened my eyes after sleeping for long only for me to meet a pair of ocean blue eyes staring at meI blush, biting my lower lips seductively"Hmmm…" He growl and pulled me closer by the waist with my hand landing on his chest"Seriously Kitten, do you have a wish of sending me to an early grave?""Nope…" I pouted my lips, enjoying the effect I was having on him"Then stop punishing me.." He pleaded, and that melted my heart immediately"Kiss me," He said calmly but more of an orderI smile and pulled him closer by the head, and connected our lips together, "Fuck!" He taste so intoxicating, I couldn't get enough of himOur lips sink together as he intertwined our tongue, sucking every part of it while he tastes every corner of my mouth deliciouslyHis hands grab my booty possessively as he squeezes and fundle on them"Ahhh…." I moan sweetly into the kiss, "Fuck! Kitten you're driving me crazy" He flipped us, making me lay onto him while his hand
