Nicklaus BaldwinI was driving furiously, angrily the only thing that kept on ringing in my head like a bell is Ashley, I wanted to cross the road when the traffic light beeped red, I cared less as that's not my problem I manhandled and drove past it, not caring if the police were going to be after me. Luckily they didn't follow me. I drove into the hospital and parked roughly before rushing out, I was about to rush into the hospital when Rex whom I didn't notice to have been standing there since pulled me back"Nick calm down," He said holding me by the shouldersI sighed using my right hand to brush my face, "Rex I can't calm down, that useless doctor has to hear from me""Is he or is it Ashley that's important at this moment?" "Ashley" I sighed"Then let's go and look for her" He muttered sounding suspicious like he's hiding something from me"What happened to Ashley?" I ask eyeing him slowly"You won't find out till we get there" He muttered pulling me alongMy heart was beatin
Ashley Bonifacio Three years later I stood outside my balcony, enjoying the fresh air of Paris. I close my eyes enjoying the evening peace of mind. It's been three years since Lucus my lovely husband died. It's been three years…he made me the successful and powerful woman I am today. He mould me to be strong, fearless, and untouchable, but death was cruel enough to take him after six months of our wedding. Lucus taught me to be brave, he made me unstoppable even in business and in society. My name screams power, authority, and wealth. He was an angel sent into my life to bless me, his memory will forever be cherished in my heart. In three years I have expanded our business in all the countries, including California, Paris, Korea, China, the Philippines, Mexico and so many of them. I have stayed in Paris for a long time and now, I think it's time for me to make a come back to California… I opened my eyes as a smirk tucked at the corner of my lips, It's time for s

AshleyI took my seat gloriously as the CEO, sitting beside Marcus. Some folks couldn't take their eyes off me, the meeting kicked off, but two pairs of eyes refused to concentrate and I wondered why?I smirk deciding to throw him off guard a little"Me Nicklaus Baldwin, what do you have to say about your assistance suggestion"He came back to his senses immediately, looking around in consciousness "Ahh…ahh..ahhhh'' He stuttered, looking pathetic" You have been caught off guard staring at me since the beginning of this meeting so tell me, what are you looking at?"I smirk evilly waiting for him to answer, I could hear murmurs as the boards of Directors all focussed their gaze on himRex was pleading with me, using his eyes, I sighed I must say he has changed so much in a short while, more broadened and manly, he's a good man but he can't stop me today"Is this how you want me to sign a billion-dollar deal with you Mr. Nicklaus, how can you handle my money when you ain't even attenti
AshleyIt's been a week since my company signed a deal with that of Nicklaus. I have never been myself after that day, each night I go to bed with only his face popping up in my head, for fuck's sake I hate that monster. I hate that animal who nearly took my life away from meI hate him for stealing my joy, I hate him for toiling with my heart, for making a fool out of me. But why? Why can't I get him out of my head, Seating in my office, I have been staring at my laptop since morning, I couldn't concentrate on anything, It's only Nicklaus'sface that keep popping up in my head After my encounter with him in his company, the way he stared at me that day, everything is pasted in my head, and refuse to goIt's been years already, I thought I had no feelings for him, I thought I buried them long ago, so why? Why are they resurfacing again? Why are the feelings slowly crawling back into my heart, why do his stares does something to my skin"Ahhhhh…..!" I scream in anger ruffling my head
NicklausIt hurts, it is so heartbreaking looking into Ashley's eyes and all I see is hatred, she despises me. It's so heartbreaking how close I am to her but yet I could not even kiss or touch herIt's my damn fault, "Ahhhhh…!" I growl in anger punching the walls as a whole formed on it immediately, but I cared less. My knuckles start to bleed as blood drops down from them, but these pains are nothing compared to how shattered my heart is right now.I need to get out of here, I need a drink to cool off. I was about to go out when the door burst open and Vivian badged in, looking around like a lunatic. She's the daughter of the president and I'm only engaged to her because of a business deal which I'm about to sign with her father's company, immediately the deal is over then the engagement is canceled"Nicklaus, what are you doing here?" She asks angrily coming to my front"As what?" I ask with a raised eyebrow"Don't play games with me, Nicklaus Baldwin, you are mined………" She drawle
Marcus MadridI can't take it anymore, slowly…Ashley is slipping away from my hand, I have to do something. I've been waiting for years, I even stoop so low to become her secretary all because I want to get close to her, years I've been by her side.I walk forward and open the curtains of my room with my hand fisting by my side."Ashley Bonifacio I don't care how many more people I have to eliminate just to get you and make you mine, I don't care the type of action I'll have to take to have my damn dick buried inside your hole one day marking you mine……"I smirk at my own thought and took a cigarette from the tray on top of my table. I lightened it with a lighter and took a heavy drag, puffing it upwards in the air"I didn't come back with you to Los Angeles for you to start your lovey-dovey tail with your ex, Ashley whether you like it or not you are mine…..and if you can't be mine…..nobody else will have you''I took more drag from my cigarette, I'm damn angry, I need to act fast th
