Justin Deluca povI still remember. I ran like a madman out of the mansion. My friends had to control me. Keith and Terry wanted to make me relax but I wanted to reach my kitten.Granny and Sarah convinced me to straightaway reach the hospital. Upon reaching there, we came to know her two friends had already expired on the spot. The closest friend Evelyne had minor injuries as she went out to get the commercial pack of mayonnaise.Ashley’s orphanage friend, Aniya had reached there in no time.Poor Evelyne was crying nonstop along with fighting the new horror that she could lose Ashley too just like she lost Elijah and Sam in the blink of an eye.And Ashley? She had slipped into a coma. She was lucky to survive the serious head injury. I was requested not to enter her room by my family and doctors, but nobody could stop me from meeting my kitten.She was lying there quietly with a few wraps here and there.I forgot that I needed to change my clothes or had to shave. Even I could no lon
Justin Deluca’s pov“I have packed your stuff, Ashley.” When I gave her the news, traces of worry were evident on her face but then she shrugged it off.I asked her to change and come downstairs. Doctors had given her the required go-ahead and now she needed to be out of there.Out of the mansion. Out of my system. Out of my life.Most of our journey was done quietly. I sensed several times that she wanted to talk to me. And I pleaded with her mentally not to say anything. Not to make it more difficult by asking for any kind of explanation.She seemed to hear it. Because after that she started that meaningless chattering that was part of her. I kept listening to her quietly, not knowing when I would be able to hear her voice again.Or maybe I would never hear it again. So, it was better if I safe those precious moments in my heart and in my memory. There was a point when she silently fell asleep. I stopped the car to a side and looked at the innocent face. While shifting her hair off
Sarah Garner povYup! I am Sarah Garner. The same girl you all have come to despise. I am aware of your hatred towards me. But what could I do?Justin was my first love, and I could not even imagine living without him. I had to be selfish to get back my fiancé.BUT…Yeah! There is a ‘but’…When I thought Ashley was missing, something inside my heart told me I still had a little bit of humanity left within me.Ashley came back. And so was my anger.The bi*tch was with Justin all this time and Keith…Keith knew it and let me make a fool of myself. He not only let me run around in circles but also used me in bed.I was angry. I was very very angry.But then a miracle happened. I was about to leave the Deluca mansion when Nadiya and Sheila told me that Justin is planning to divorce Ashley.It was supposed to be happy news. I should had been jumping with joy, but I felt like my heart was dead. It could no more feel things.Ashley was getting better and could not see Justin around her. Befo
Sarah pov:(Gentle reminder for readers: it’s still Sarah’s flashback from two years ago.)I needed to get approval for an important contract, so I marched to Justin’s study and found Keith sitting there.For the last few days, we rarely saw each other.“Where is Justin?” I asked keeping my tone neutral. His face still gave my brain those angry vibes.Liar!I was not able to forget how he lied to me when all this time he knew, Ashley was with Justin.“Getting drunk, I guess.” He replied to me without lifting his face up.“Excuse me! That’s bullsh*it! Why would he do that?” I frowned at him. Justin could be anything but not a weakling. He would never get drunk just like that. He had always been a fighter, not a loser.“Hah!” He clicked his tongue inside his cheek, “Because he dropped Ashley at the Arguli university…” he closed the laptop, “Along with her friends. Offered all of them enough money for starting education, business, and their lives. He might be worried about Ashley but mor
Sarah’s povOnce I saw the divorce paper lying on Justin’s desk, I held my breath. Justin looked at it mechanically and tossed it aside.He stubbornly opened his laptop and started working on it. The man was going through so much all at once.“Stand up,” Holding his hand I tried to pull him onto his feet.“What is it?” he tried to act nonchalant, but I knew him better.“I said stand up, Justin Deluca.” Sighing heavily, he pushed back his laptop and stood up.“Now, what, Sarah?”“Nothing. I just wanted to hug you, silly.” I circled my arms around his hard body and leaned my cheek on his chest. He kept standing there obstinately letting me have my way.“Hug me, a*sshole!” I muttered in his chest and felt his strong arms around me, “Not like this. Hold me tight. Think of me as your friend. A friend who wants to be there for you, Justin. Don’t push me away. Please. Let me in!”When his demeanor didn’t change, I kept glued to his body purposely, silently telling him that I wasn’t backing o
Sarah Garner pov:(Past flashback)“I went through their work and all it had was nothing but postponed dates without any reason,” I explained to Justin and tried to hold back my yawn maybe for the third time when he chuckled and leaned back in his seat.“Is Keith making you awake?” he asked me, there was mischief laced in his voice.“Nah!” I tried to hide the unexpected blush, “We just found out this morning that we are pregnant!” I said sinking my teeth in my lower lip.“You are what?” he left his seat to come and hug me, “Keith is sure faster than any of us!” he bantered while hugging me gently to him.“Why don’t you go and spend some time with your guy? I can take care of these things.”“No! He is at last getting serious about getting financially strong. Let him work hard. I can lay back on my back in my ninth month.” It was just an excuse otherwise I was not planning to quit until the last day of my pregnancy.We were planning to spend maximum time with our baby. “Should I ask s
Sarah’s pov Granny was sitting in the living room like she had committed some crime. My father was pacing around just to intimidate me. I knew it because he had been doing it since I was a baby. My mom was the only one who could let him get under her skin otherwise Marwick and I never let that happen. “Aunt Electra! I didn’t leave my daughter so she can be coaxed into a relationship with any man other than Justin.” “Dad…” I tried to speak but he didn’t let me. That day, when I told Justin about my relationship with Keith, I cried because I was ashamed of what I did behind his back. I was not planning to cry in front of my parents or anyone else just because I fu*kin fell for some other guy of my choice. “Sarah. You will only marry Justin!” he said in his usual heavy voice “No one else but Justin Deluca.” “Dad!” I stood up. “I don’t want to hear anything, Sarah.” He was being ludicrous. Just then I decided to put a stop to all of it. “Nah! That’s not happening, dad. By the way
Ashley’s povThe moment I started sucking those swollen lips, he seemed to be taken by surprise. His body had gone rigid against mine. My both hands had fisted his long hair and I was grinding my mouth to him.He was not responding to my kiss but who cared? I ran my tongue on his lips and moaned with happiness when his mouth opened and welcomed my tongue.Right after getting access, it started swirling in his mouth trying to remember the sweet taste of the saliva that I could never forget, I felt his arms circling around me and squeezing me in his embrace.Due to the weight, I started folding my knees until they touched the floor. Both of us were now kneeling on the floor. His mouth could not remain rigid for long and started kissing me back. It started opening to give me wet kisses.Our tongues had started the fight without caring in the world about winning or losing. Not aware of how long we made out but once I felt we could no longer breathe, I detached my mouth and started breathi
