Third person pov

Justin was pacing in the corridor waiting for the doctors to come out of Ashley’s room. All he wanted to do right now was barge inside and take her home. Thankfully she gained consciousness while he was taking her to the hospital.

He leaned his forehead against the wall placing his palms on it. He was getting frustrated with each passing minute when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

He jumped up and spun around. The man who owned the cotton candy stall in the small market was standing behind him. By now Justin had totally forgotten about him.

“She will be fine, Sir.” He tried to calm Justin quite awkwardly. Maybe because there was a clear difference in class and status between them.

“I could not even ask your name,” Justin told him humbly, “Thank you for saving her.” Apparently, he was the one who had pulled Ashley out of harm’s way but unfortunately, Ashley’s head had bumped into something hard making her unconscious on the spot.

I do hope Justin over heard the himself or since this is life or death situation, let’s hope Edith has enough integrity to speak up. This would be a tough conversation for Ashley to have. Wouldn’t want others characterize Ashley as paranoid

    Ashley Walters pov It had been two hours since we sat in the car, but my mind was constantly thinking about the conversation between Helga and Edith. I was not at all disappointed as the lower staff of most of the places was habitual of gossiping. This was the only activity they could manage during their working hours. But why Helga thought that fate was after me? I was aware of Sarah’s hatred. It was natural jealousy if she would find her fiancé throwing his attention on someone other than her. If I would find Justin with some other woman, I would feel envious too. No matter what anyone tells me, but I would be ready to destroy the world. Justin was not some any other man. He was not an ordinary fellow. He knew how to spoil the girl and I did not know how many girls he had spoiled before me. Or before Sarah. And then an unexpected jab of jealousy made its way into my heart. What will I do if by any chance Justin shows the same care to a girl in front of me? Giving a damn about m

    Sarah pov After getting done with her cup of broth, granny got hold of her stick and rose to her feet. A maid was there to take her inside. Marwick and I stood up in respect until she left us alone. She knew Marwick didn’t like her. He had been quiet all this time not uttering a single word in her presence. My brother could sometimes be as stubborn as a mule. I declined when Marwick extended a beer can towards me. “Since when have you started saying no to parties?” He asked casually and took a chug from his can. How to tell him that I had stopped partying altogether ever since my fiancé got married? “So, you wanted to talk to me.” Marwick placed the can on the coffee table and took the chair opposite mine. We were on the vast lawn of the Deluca mansion. This was the safest place where nobody could hear us. I had spent my teenage years playing in those vast green grounds running after Justin. And see. I was still running after him. “I need your help, Marw. Regarding that Ashley

    Sarah pov I was still trying to make sense of what Marwick meant earlier by saying that Keith was playing with me. Did he know that I slept with Keith? My heart missed a beat at the mere thought of it. No. No. I don’t think so. That would be too embarrassing! “Hey, girl. Come back to the earth!” I heard Nadia’s shrill voice, who was sitting beside me on the recliner, “Lately you are not taking much interest in any activity we do.” She tried to complain. Last time, after the argument with my friends, I had been keeping them at arm’s length. We were sharing the same cordial relationship, but I stopped bringing Ashley into our topics. Whenever they used to ask about Justin, I used to give them a neutral answer. With time, I had accepted that they might be very good company, but they would never be my true friends. I did not have any answer to her complaints about not participating. Was trying my best to spend time with them to take my mind off Ashley’s absence and Justin’s prefere

    Ashley Walters pov We all were shocked when Sarah hit Keith. First, she had disbelief on her face when she looked at me getting off the car along with Justin. After she slapped Keith, we all gasped. The snake man was about to say something when Keith did not let him. He just told everyone, it was no one’s business but Sarah’s and his. Crazy girl and a crazy dude. I did not know what got into her. Before heading inside, the snake man told me while hugging me again that his name was Marwick, and he was Sarah’s brother. Woah! Like I mean… small world. He was nothing like Sarah. I had almost forgotten that he had become cold and distant when he was taking his leave in Arguli beach before dropping me at my cottage. But here when he lifted me and twisted me, making me laugh, he seemed almost like some other man.A friendlier one. “What are you so happy about?” Justin kissed my temple in the maid’s presence who was placing my things back in my wardrobe. “Nothing. It’s just that I wa

    Ashley Walters pov “GUYS! OUR VERY OWN ASHLEY IS BACK! YAYYY!” the moment I entered Ice cream Heaven, Evelyn screamed at the top of her lungs shifting everyone’s attention to me. “Where were you, girl? I was hell worried. Your phone was not responding.” Sam came to me and hugged me making me a little guilty. I just sent a simple text and then switched off my phone without realizing how much they must be getting worried about me. Squeezing his waist in my arms, I kissed his cheek without lifting much on my toes. We were almost the same height. “I missed you guys so much!” I embraced Elijah when Sam again threw his arm around me. “Yeah. We know. The way you had been calling us, we knew you are missing us soooo much.” Though Sam’s tone was not sarcastic still I felt ashamed. “Behave yourselves, you, guys. At least let her sit.” Evelyne held my arm and took me to the back room, “Andrew! I hope you can manage it for some time!” My friend did not forget to assign the duty to poor Andre

    Sarah’s pov (1 Week Later) It had been exactly one week since the blast. A gas cylinder blasted in Ice cream Heaven. Ashley Walters was still in a coma, but doctors were very positive about her recovery. Her friends’ eyes had swelled up due to excessive crying. Aniya, who used to be her orphanage friend, and Evelyne who was her employer at Ice cream Heaven. She luckily survived the attack because according to her statement to the police, she went out to buy mayonnaise as that night they kind of fell short on it. Ashley Walters! A girl who changed my life forever was now lying there with a lifeless body on that hospital bed. Three days back she was on a ventilator but later, she started responding to the medicines. I still remember Shella was the one who woke me up when she saw the news of the blast on TV. Without bothering to change my clothes or look for Justin, I straight away went to the hospital. Justin had already advised the medical staff to take care of her. He was ready to

    Ashley Walters (three months later) I was, at last, home. Due to my deteriorating condition, initially, they did not let me meet anyone. And then slowly Deluca mansion allowed Aniya and Evelyne to visit me. They stayed with me twenty-four-seven. A separate room was allotted to them. After getting discharged from the hospital, the person I wanted to meet first was Justin, but he could not be seen anywhere. After Aniya and Evelyne started staying with me, Justin used to visit me daily before going out. Not even for five minutes but still. It used to be a formal conversation about my health, medicines, and doctor’s appointments. Today, he was wearing a suit and looked more than handsome as I could remember. He just asked about my health, told me to take my medicines on time, and left. No kiss. No PDA. Initially, I thought he might be scared of hurting me. Just like he was scared to come closer when I had an accident at Arguli. But the more I was getting better, the more he seemed

    The room provided to me in the dorm was furnished and had simple furniture. Ever since I arrived, I had been sitting on the floor hugging my knees to my chest, trying to think if I made some mistake. Or if I committed some crime.Was it possible that this all was a dream?Or maybe the time spent with Justin was a dream and now I had woken up to the harsh reality of life.“Mrs. Deluca. Come soon. I am not going back to sleep until you come back. I will wait for you.” Long forgotten words that came out of his mouth were there to haunt me.“Why, Justin? Why?” Putting my head on my knees I started crying. I was still waiting for him. Maybe it was all a prank. There was a message blinking on my phone. The message was from the bank. Justin had credited twenty million to my account.Maybe soon he would come back running to me, will put me on his shoulder like a sack and go out, “Mrs. Deluca. It was just a joke. Why the hell are you crying?”“Ms. Ashley!” Matt’s head came inside the doorway,

    Sophia’s pov: Colter was smart, intelligent, and the school’s soccer team captain. For every girl, he was an ideal. But he chose me as his girlfriend. We were good initially but then he started showing his true colors. “Your cousin is a creep, Sophie. He keeps staring at you. The little boy can’t control his urges,” he used to make fun of Rowan and I never liked it. “He is NOT my cousin, Colt.” I used to defend Rowan and that used to annoy him even more. “Yeah. Whatever. He is younger, Sophie. Just a kid! Don’t ever forget that. Trust me! Nobody wants to date a baby.” His remark tugged my heartstrings that day. Every other day he used to get aggressive and used to remind me that Rowan was just a mere kid. Most of the time his aggression used to be due to Rowan. He disliked it when Rowan used to sit right opposite our place in the cafeteria. He easily could get offended if he would find Rowan, visiting my place. I tried convincing him that Rowan was a family friend but failed.

    Rowan’s pov:The girl in my arms was sleeping soundly. She was making me feel like my arms were the best place where she could get that deep sleep. She was making me feel like I was a safe haven for her.That fuc*ker Colter tried to take away her spirit. Her soul. But she did it. She defeated him. The day she called me for help, I knew how much courage she must have gathered to do it. To type that single message. That single word.“Rowan!” she murmured in her sleep and stirred in my arms.“Go to sleep, Sophie. You are safe.” I said and closed my eyes but the she-devil close to me, kept rubbing herself against me intimately.“Soph!” I whispered and she made a pout in her sleep and opened her sleep-filled hooded eyes to look at me, “Go to sleep, love.”I tried to control my desire shooting up by her touch. She shook her head and started rubbing her cheek against my chest skin.“You smell amazing, Rowan.” She started kissing my chest and then climbed up to bring her face close to mine, “

    Rowan Levisay pov I looked down at the delicate girl in my arms who, very slowly, was now getting closer to me. She already lived in my heart and had, at last, started seeing me. The only difference was, she spotted me after twenty-five goddamn years. And I noticed her when I was just two. She used to sit cozily in bed with my sisters. I could hear their giggling sounds in my cot and always wanted to get down so that I could join the fun. Sometimes, Mom used to allow me to go to them. They used to cuddle me in between and all I wanted at that time was to sit beside my girl. She used to get irritated by my presence, and how I used to cling to her, stare at her. “Mom! I think she doesn’t like me.” While growing up, the four years old me, asked my mom. She smiled and made me sit on her lap. “She might see you if you stop clinging to her. Nobody likes that, Rowan. Everyone loves to have some space, son.” In my teenage years, I could never make a steady girlfriend. Because they all u

    Sophia’s pov. Restless, I continued to toss and turn in my bed, the weight of my past worries pressing heavily upon my chest. The hushed murmurs drifting up from downstairs did confirm what I already knew. My parents were still awake and their concern for me was refusing to let them succumb to sleep. Normally, my parents were early sleepers, but tonight was different. Tonight, their parental instincts were on high alert, their worry for me was palpable in the air. Ever since I could remember, they were protective of me and had shielded me from harm, nurtured me with unwavering love and care. As my adoptive parents, they made me and Jackson their utmost priority. They never let us feel that I was adopted and that Jackson was their own blood. As the minutes ticked by, I couldn't help but reflect on the countless times they had been my pillars of strength. They had been my unwavering support, always there to lend a hand or offer to just listen to me. To make me feel heard. And now,

    Emerald's pov: The weight of her words settled upon us like a heavy burden, each of us grappling with our own emotions. But at that moment, amidst the chaos of thoughts and feelings, one thing was clear — Sophie had endured some kind of ordeal. Something that was beyond our thoughts, and we had to listen, support, and help her find solace in our embrace. “Talk to us, love.” Rafael encouraged her to speak, “What is it? What did Colt do to you?” his voice seemed tense. “If I will tell you then would you believe me?” She asked Rafael innocently. Like a baby. Gosh! I wanted to cry. I could not wait to be alone and cry in my husband’s arms. But right now, we both needed to stay strong. “Yes, we will.” Abigail spoke with determination, “You are our kid. Why won’t we trust you?” The moment Abigail said that Sophia started crying. Her tears started slipping down her smooth cheeks. “Sophie?” Rafael and I both called her name. We both were shocked. “Mom! Dad! The one month I was with him

    Emerald's pov:Sophia was trembling while taking hesitant steps forward. She looked exhausted as if she had been through an ordeal that no words could adequately describe. The room remained silent, each of us holding our breath, waiting for her to speak.I saw Hunter gesturing for his investigators to leave the room without a sound.Finally, Sophia’s voice broke the silence, which was weak yet determined. "I... I'm sorry. I never meant to cause you all this worry. It's... it's complicated. I'll explain, I promise."Rafael and I exchanged glances, a mix of relief and concern etched on our faces. We moved closer to Sophia, enveloping her in a gentle embrace, offering comfort and reassurance. The room slowly came alive with a mixture of relief, confusion, and a silent desire for answers.Hunter, his voice laced with a mix of relief and urgency, stepped forward.

Don’t lose hope.”Tears were streaming down my face. I was sitting on the armchair, clutching a tissue in my trembling hands. Abigail Levisay … my compassionate friend and Rowan’s mom was kneeling beside me, offering comfort.I was sobbing uncontrollably, struggling to compose myself.“I can't help it, Abigail. I'm so scared for Sophie. It's been two days, and we still have no idea where she could be. And now with Colter found dead ... What if something terrible has happened to my daughter too?”Abigail wrapped her arms around me, holding me tightly.She shushed me gently, “I know, darling.

    Sophia pov:Without another word, he started rubbing my back with soapy hands. Placing my palms on the bathroom walls, I closed my eyes feeling his touch on my body and then my hair with a whiff of my shampoo. He opened the shower and started washing the sand off my hair. I held my breath when I felt his hands unusually lingering on my bre*asts.“May I?” I asked him, offering him the same comfort. He slowly shook his head and wrapped a bathrobe around me.“I can’t risk that, Sophie.” He draped a towel around my hair like a turban. He was still wearing his costume while I was there without a piece of clothing, “I can take my shower later.”True to his word, he didn’t even bat an eye on my nak*edness.“I promise, I would be decent enough not to sed*uce you,” I said mischievously making him chuckle.“And do you think that would make me happy, princess?” he placed his palms on either side of me on the walls of the bathroom behind me,His eyes were searching mine with a mixture of seriousn
