Ashley pov:By now I was seething with anger. How dare she!She thought I would be after her fiancé just because he was rich and was married to me. I was trying to control my fury by balling my fists tightly.Justin told me to become a lioness. He was damn right.I should not allow anyone to take advantage of me. The girl before me was undoubtedly beautiful. She had red curls around her perfectly featured face.Her body from head to toe spoke of wealth. Her clothes seemed hell expensive. She was wearing a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes.She kept looking at my face then her nostrils flared up and she turned on her heels to leave the room. Her tone was so insulting when she tried to remind me of my contract marriage conditions.I switched off the TV and started cleaning the bed.“It’s ok, Ashley. Your life is precious. Everything that happens in our lives is necessarily not there to make us feel happy. Sometimes we need to pay the price for our happiness.” Mother Superior lectured me
Sarah pov After I was done with that girl, I felt light. I stormed out of her room and went straight to bed. I needed my nap to clear the fog off my mind. Initially, I was upset when I heard her accusation against Justin then something dawned on me. She was saying these things because she knew Justin did not belong to her. She could never have Justin. And that was the reason for her whining. Like other girls, she knew she could never have Justin. That brought a smile to my face. Due to her stupid blaming game, I missed my lunch too. I did not know if my friends had it or not. “Wake up, bit*ch. You are killing us by keeping us hungry for so long!” I got up still in my half sleeping mind. “Nadia?” I stretched and tried to open my eyes. I saw two shaking images of my friends, “I am sorry.” I again closed my eyes and hit my head on the pillow, “I thought you two already had lunch.” “We thought you went to Justin’s room. Where were you?” “Umm. I did go there. She is a true bi*tch!
Ashley Walters pov I did not know why Justin decided to take me to the dining area when Electra Deluca forbade me to leave my room. Maybe because I was upset? Or because he might be feeling guilty for getting me stripped of my basic right of leaving the room? The conditions ma’am Electra offered me while signing the contract seemed lucrative by that time but now, I realized what a fool I had been. They denied me my basic right, and I said yes. Without even thinking! “Who deserves your time, Sarah?” Justin announced as soon as he opened the door. We both knew that she was talking about me. She was such a good actor that the frown lines that appeared on her forehead disappeared in a jiff when she saw me. The woman knew how to control her emotions when needed. Right now, she could not unleash the crazy bi*tch hiding behind her beautiful face. I felt jealousy surging through my heart when I saw her standing up and approaching Justin with that sexy smile. Her red curls were bouncing
Sarah’s pov The girl had gone crazy. She not only slapped Sean but was also clawing his face using her nails. Justin who had initially gone still, frowned, and then there was a murderous look on his face. He quickly rounded the table and went to her. Sean who was shocked, now was getting beaten silently. What happened to him? Why was he not responding to the pain she was inflicting on him? “Kitten!” Justin called her. This was the second time I heard him calling that. He never used any nickname for me except for a usual and rare sweetheart. That’s it. “Leave me, Justin!” She screamed, “I won’t spare him. How dare he? How dare you, mister!” “Kitten! Honey!” Justin wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her gently. He was so gentle with her as if she was made of glass and that was making me hell jealous. There was something odd about this. I just could not seem to put my finger on it. One moment he was hell angry at Sean and the next moment he was trying to console her. Th
Ashley’s povFor the first time, I saw the sincerity in this girl’s eyes. I was happy that forgetting our differences she took a stand for me.She slapped her husband for me! For a maid!“Thank you, Sarah,” Justin told her softly and she nodded trying to shift back the hair that was falling from my bun.“Come on. Let’s get you to your room.” Justin told me and held my hand. Before leaving the room, I did not miss the threatening look he gave to my husband.By now I was genuinely interested. In no way Justin was his elder brother.Nah!My husband was the only son. Then who was Justin to the family?“Justin?” I called him while walking to the room, “Who are you?”“What?” He chuckled, “I am Justin I guess.”We stopped walking and he started tucking my hair behind my ear.“No. Not that. I mean what is your relation t
Ashley’s pov“Oh, please. Don’t tell me that you don’t know your husband. You did not marry Sean. You married Justin.”I blinked my eyes and then smirked sarcastically, “Oh. Really? You must be out of your fuckin mind.” I shot in frustration. She did not like it but chose to ignore it.“You can think as you like. By the way, do let me know if you need anything.” She placed her hand on the same cheek where Justin just touched it, “Take care!” She said politely and then lifting on her toes she kissed Justin on his cheek, “I love you, sweetheart!”Justin did not respond to her and kept standing avoiding eye contact. Sarah had left the room.“Jus.. Justin. I … I know she was lying. You … You don’t need to worry about anything. I … I believe you. I … I t…trust you.” I gulped my spit and wiped the sweat off my palms by rubbin
Sarah’s povI think I am about to achieve something in near future. It was a hunch. I was this close to my success. To my one and only fiancé.Justin!I did not know what went between that maid and Justin. However, for the first time in my life, I saw Justin getting scared of something.It was written on his face.When she was calling that stupid Sean my fiancé, Justin did not want me to tell her that Sean was not her husband.Did Justin lie to her? Justin never lied in his entire life. Why now?The way he tried to hold her when she went to Sean for attacking him. He was cupping her cheek so gently when I entered his room, I won’t lie. I was hell jealous.The way he was looking at her. Why?I was his fiancée and he never looked at me like that.Wasn’t it part of the contract that they were not allowed to communicate? She was not allowed to use the bathroom in his presence.
Ashley’s povI did not argue. I not only used the staircase to cross the wall but also found one more resting outside the room’s window. Using those wooden stairs, I climbed up to the room’s window and got inside the room. Once inside, I peeked through the blinds where a guard was taking the staircase away.Did Justin know that I went out? Did he know that I was on a job hunt? Tonight, I felt happy. The sense of achievement that I tried to do something for myself was making me euphoric.The night shift was ideal for me as during the day I could catch up on my sleep.I paid a visit to the bathroom so that later I could lie on my mattress and catch some sleep. When I entered there, I saw women’s body wash and shampoo set near the basin. Justin’s products were missing from the shelf.I felt bad. Despite me, being mad at him he was still trying to facilitate me. He knew when I sneaked out and how I did it.He did no
