Sarah povI got ready and stepped back from the mirror.“Babe! No one can look this killer in a pencil skirt. Black suits you.” Nadia let out a low whistle and came forward when I raised my hands for a side braid.“Leave your hair, lady. Your fiancé is accompanying you. Let him see those reddish blond locks.” She gave a light slap on my hand, “You look lovely.”I shrugged with a reluctant smile and let my hair cascade my shoulders, “Its … just … an official meeting, sweet.”“Sarah!” Shella called me while making some notes in her diary, “For the party, should I invite Kate?”Kate was the same redhead who was crazy after Justin and got me stuck with this crazy dare.“Why?” I cocked up a brow arrogantly and pouted, “I don’t want that girl in my house. She is one of those who never got happy when I got engaged to Justin.”“Hey, sweetie.” Shella closed the diary and turned to me, “Come to think of it. Let that bit*ch meet Ashley. They both would not only hate each other but also might end
Ashley Walters pov All my dresses were lying on the carpeted floor. Just two hours before the party, I had still not decided what to wear. In the orphanage, I never gave a damn. For me, denim with a t-shirt used to do the job. This was something else. “Kitten, believe me. You will look beautiful whatever you choose to wear.” Justin took his jacket out of the closet, “There are so many options. Choose, what is easy for you to carry.” Ah! Men! They don’t face what we women face every day. For them, it’s either a t-shirt or a jacket, or a tuxedo. “I wish, I was a man!” I complained and sat down beside the huge pile, “But being a woman has its own advantages.” “Such as?” There was a playful smile on his lips. “Being a woman means getting a chance to do all that se*y stuff with you… After two days!” I chewed my lower lip and avoided looking at him. “Woman! Get a hold. Otherwise, I might…” His voice had turned husky. Knock! “Master Deluca. Your car is ready.” Alex was outside the
Sarah pov Oh! Damn! I made her drunk to let her do something indecent or stupid. Like ending up with someone in a make out session or having s*x with a stranger in the corner of the hall. Even if she would make a pass on a man, Keith will witness it and tell Justin. I would come out clean. Right? But no. She was too drunk and instead of keeping something secret as instructed in her contract, she was telling Kate that she was Justin’s wife. If this was a movie, I would have laughed my lungs out along with my friends. But this girl had some guts. She was confident throughout the party. Even managed to cover her initial awkwardness quite proficiently. But according to her, she was planning to have s*x with Justin! After two days! No! No… No … No! This was proving to be my biggest nightmare. Kate was standing there with her lips not too slightly apart as if she wanted to swallow Ashley. “She …” I cleared my throat, “She is kidding.” I let out a throaty laugh, “She is funny. Ha-ha
Ashley Walters pov “I don’t want to leave the party,” I yawned and stretched, “Let me enjoy some more booze! Please, Sarah!” Blubbering to myself, I pouted and opened my eyes, looking around. Fu*ck! I was no more standing on the counter but was snuggled in a quilt … And in someone’s arms too! “Go back to sleep,” said a sleepy Justin beside me, “Throughout the night you kept waking up because you did not want to leave the party.” He yawned and tightened his grip around my waist, “Every time you used to leave the bed and I had to bring you back.” Nuzzling his nose in my neck, he said in a drowsy voice, “You are a handful when you are drunk.” I squeezed my eyes and turned towards him. The plan was to place my face in his naked chest and go back to sleep. However, I felt upset when I found him wearing a t-shirt. “Take off your t-shirt!” Before I could stop myself, the words were out of my mouth. “Ashley!” The poor thing tried to argue and groaned, “Let me sleep!” “Ok.” I patted
Ashley Walters pov I sent Sam to get Justin’s order and peeked out to have a look at the man whom I just messaged a few minutes back that I was missing him. He was sitting there all casual and looked so much out of place. Sarah’s back was facing me so I could not see her face. Why were they here? This ice cream parlor was not fit for the elites like them. Just then Justin looked straight into my eyes and nodded at me. I swallowed and tried to respond back with a nod but could not do it. Sam was serving them the ice cream when Justin told him something and took the ice cream cup from his hand. “He is asking for you,” Sam told me when he came back. “Go!” Evelyn nudged me, “He must be waiting for you. You might not be his direct employee, but you are living under his roof. Don’t be a bummer!” “Stop it! I … I am NOT going.” I did not know why he was calling me. I peeked out again and found his eyes pasted at me. I ducked my head back into the room. “You should go, stupid. It’s no
Sarah pov I took Justin to that ice cream parlor so that he could see with his own eyes that Ashley worked there as a waitress. I wanted to witness the look on his face. If by any chance she had taken our orders, I would have been over the moon. Just the thought of her face changing color kept giving me tingles inside out. Bitch must have seen us. That was the reason she did not come out. I was not a fool. However, I was surprised when Justin left the table because he wanted to use the bathroom. He never used public bathrooms. Miraculously, there was no waiter at the front. Everyone seemed to have gone to the back room. What was the matter? Justin took his sweet time and came back. While going home he was exceptionally quiet. “Are you alright, Justin?” I asked him but he just answered me with a slight hmm. After coming back, I changed and went out because I wanted to talk to him. I wanted him to let me come back into his life. His study was dark which meant he was in his room.
Sarah pov Justin had left and I could not go back to sleep. I had told a maid to let me know if Ashley was back. After all, I needed to tell her that Justin was out of town. Just to make her jealous. All I wanted right now was to go to sleep and throw any Ashley, di*ck, or Harry out of my mind for a peaceful sleep. But that Pashley was not back. “Hello!” I asked the guards at the gate, “Is Pashley… I mean is Ashley back?” “No ma’am. Nobody entered or exited the gates after Mr. Deluca left.” He informed me. Shouldn’t she be back by now? “Ma’am. She is still not home.” The maid told me on the intercom, “Don’t worry. I will inform you as soon as she returns.” Strange. When I followed her, she used to be back earlier than this time. What if …? What if…? Oh, No. Justin would kill me if anything would happen to her. He might blame me for any minor accident. I decided to call the only person who could help me at this indecent hour, “Alex. Get that ass off your bed and find the nu
Ashley Walters pov Damn! His hooded eyes were ravishing me like I was a feast, and he could not wait to get his hands on it. I crawled up some more and brushed my lips against his. “Ashley! You are the death of me.” He had closed his eyes and I did not know if he was waiting for the kiss or wanted to go back to sleep. I had this idea that he desired me, but I never made a boyfriend, so I wasn’t aware of how to understand those gestures. Should I ask him? The poor thing drove for four hours just to make me happy and here I was trying to taste him and seduce him instead of letting him sleep. Have some empathy, Ashley Walters. “Come on, girl.” My heart leaped in my chest when I heard his heavy voice, “I am waiting. Don’t make me wait.” I beamed with delight and bent down to bite his lower lip. “You always smell so good, Justin,” I told him licking his lower lip and his groan told me that he liked it. “Oh, really? That’s the reason you used my body wash? Tsk!” I pinched his cheek
