"Thank goodness, you are here! please come with me" Robin said pulling Ashley by the hand into the mansion.Ashley was confused as to what is going on, it hasn't been three minutes since she reached Wyatt's mansion and here she is, being dragged as if something terrible is happening." What is it? Is someone dying? " She asked, increasing her pace to match his, he was too fast." This is far worst than a dying person, Kayden is... " Ashley didn't let Robin finish, she pulls her hands roughly from his tight grips and rushed to Kayden's room.Without knocking, she push open Kayden's room and immediately froze in her spot.The pair of eyes staring back at her made her swallow, " Sorry!" She apologized with a face red as a tomato." What's needed to be done? " Anton asked Aston, ignoring the girl at the door.Aston whose gaze was fixed on Ashley's face turns to Anton. " He doesn't need anything that will stress him up... Seems like he's been crying for a long, with these tablets, will hel
The yard was simply yet beautifully decorated. A mat is placed on the grass with a pot of well-prepared delicious grilled chicken with banana pepper dip and fattoush, a freshly made pineapple juice by the side.Ashley walks in with a plate of roasted eggplant moussaka with lamb and places it by the side.Everything was ready, Anton walks in with Kayden by their side as they made their way to the big mat on the grass."Yey! We are going to eat outside" Kayden exclaims happily. It's the first time he will sit outside and eat.All thanks to Ashley even though it wasn't an easy thing to convince Anton. He's very hard to convince.Anton and Kayden got sited, Ashley was about to take hers by Kayden when the little boy stopped her only to give her space in the middle.It was ridiculous but she didn't press on as it seems like the father and son have well planned it."Here!" She hands Kayden a plate of roasted eggplant moussaka with lamb, Kayden happily collects it and starts eating.Ashley
Ashley and Kayden walk into Anton's company, everyone working for Anton knew Kayden and no one dares pass by without greeting the little boy.Kayden pulls Ashley to the private elevator meant for Anton and the little boy only, Ashley looks unsure as she tries to resist"We can't possibly take this baby, it's for daddy alone" Ashley halts her steps.Kayden pulls her, " It's for me and daddy, and you are my mom," he said so innocently.With no more argument, she follows him into the elevator.Kayden rushes out as soon as the elevator opens, and pushes open Anton's office door without a knock."Daddy, daddy!" Kayden yells excitedly as he runs to Anton who opens his arms, accepting him for a hug."How is my boy doing?" Anton asked gazing at the door as if expecting someone" I came with mama!" Kayden said not bothering to answer his question.Just then, Ashley walks in and stood by the door, smilingAnton's eyes sparkle and his smile widen. He roughs Kayden's hair as the little boy ch
"walking out of me as if I'm nothing doesn't make me relent, you should know better than trying to get rid of me in such a petty way" Melina taunts, with a bright smile on her face.Her gaze falls on Ashley, "Ah, we didn't even get the chance to be introduced to each other" She squeezes Anton's shoulder, " pardon him, he sometimes gets overwhelmed with certain situations " " I am Melina, the mother to his pride, Kayden " Melina sounds so good with pride written all over her face." I'm sure you are... " She trials waiting on Ashley to introduce herselfAshley glances at Anton, his face was way out of description. She didn't know if she should say something or ignore the woman.Just when she was about to give in, Kayden say" Mama, please for water" he directed his request to Ashley, looking all innocent.Ashley was about to get the glass of water when Melina beats her to it." Here darling, have a drink" Melina offers sweetly to Kayden. Without a glance, Kayden's eyes remain glued
Anton has no intentions of going back to the office. His day was ruined by Melina."Let's go!" Anton holds on Kayden's hands, ushering them to their car.Kayden was too full to make a noise, he patiently sits on the back seat while Ashley and Anton took the front seat.Anton steams the engine for some time before kicking off.Ashley sat quietly the entire time but a frown appears on her forehead when Anton took a different direction."The road leading to the company is the one on the left, not this," She infirmary thinks he's forgotten or something. She was about to say something else when she was cut off by him"I know!" With that, he kept on going.Ashley could only breathe out, stealing glances at him from time to time. He pulls up at the mall, steps out of the car and opens the door for Kayden.Ashley didn't know what to do, disbelief was written all over her face. The last place she expected was for him to bring them to the mall, she thought they would go home.Seeing that the
"wait!" Ashley said when they were about to start the game."You are quite old for my five years old, and the deal doesn't make any sense," Ashley said thoughtfully.Rex scoffs, "oh, wow! They are backing down" he snorts, " losers," he said, laughing.It so happens that he was the only one laughing, all his friends stayed quiet. The aura they were receiving from the lady was nothing to take lightly."Well! Sorry to disappoint you, Rex, but we're not giving up" Ashley flashed him a smile that wasn't a smile, "I'm up for a new deal, your request stands but mine changes" Rex frown, confused. " What's yours?" He asked with a raised brow"When my baby wins you, you get to give us $200, serve my little boy as he pleases and evacuates your ass from this environment" Her tone was bold and firm.Rex seems to be complicated for a long time before saying"Fine! Not like you will win anyways" He said, flashing Ashley a mocking smile."Great! The deal then" Ashley stretch forth her hand for a sh
"No baby, it's not appropriate" Ashley finally confess after a long time of complicating with herself.Kayden was sad knowing his wish won't be met but then, Anton took the bold step towards AshleyHe pushes her hair behind her ears, " we mustn't kiss you know, he's just a little boy" he whispers in her ears, brushing away her hair strandsAshley frowns, not understanding what he is saying."Follow my lead" Anton urges, she could hardly feel herself.His hot breath was all over her face, sending shivers down her spine.His tomb caresses her lips, and he leans down in slow motion, their faces lined with each otherAshley was lost at the feel of his warm hands on her face, frozen. She could only blink, staring at those alluring beautiful Amber eyesAnton place a light kiss by the side of her mouth, it lasted for about three seconds, and he pulls away."You can breathe now," he said, jolting her from her trance. Ashley lowers her head in embarrassment and shyness. She didn't hate what
Kayden was supper Happy when he got the news that Ashley will be living with them in the mansion.Even though Ashley has agreed to it, she still insists on going back home to tell her friend about it.Anton had no objections, all he did was make her promise to come back in time.Ashley accepts hoping Alina will be at home when she gets there. With a nod, she turns to go leave but Kayden was hellbent on letting her go. He runs to her, "Take me with you, mama, please"Kayden begs to put on his cutest face.Ashley stares at Anton silently asking for his permission.Anton smiles at her, giving her a go-ahead nod.With that, the mother and son left with Kayden chattering now and then.Robin ride them to Ashley's home, it didn't take long, their car was standing before her home.Ashley help Kayden out of the car, while Robin stood by the side, watching the duo disappear through the door."Wow, your house is small but nice" Kayden exclaims, comparing the house to his dad's.Alina walks out o
"what's inside?" Ashley asked curious to know."Why not check it out?" He hands her the box, silently urging her to open it.Ashley didn't know why he wants her to open the box but she did it anyways, her curiosity couldn't let her.Gasp escape her lips at the sight of the bracket sleeping in the box. There is no way she will ever forget this."Where did you get this?" She asked, staring at Anton with a demanding gaze.Anton didn't respond, he hugs her from behind, and bury his head in the crook of her neck."The night I spent with an angel" he whispers into her ears."You know that's five years ago, right?" Ashley turns to him, with a raised brow."Yeah, I know that..." He responds.Ashley stares at the blue bracelet for a long time, still in disbelief that he kept it all this while.She turns and hugs him, "thank you" her voice was teary.She wasn't thanking him for the bracelet, but she was thinking of him for holding on to their one-night stand till now.Her lips find him, she kis
Ashley walks out of the bath drying her hair with the hand towel. She refused to sleep with Anton knowing what entails and luckily, Kayden wasn't too demanding today ad he fell asleep immediately after dinner.She had absolutely nothing on, her nice curvy body was as smooth as silk. She walks to the bedside, ready to go to bed butt naked but before she could finish drying off her hair, the door pushes open all of sudden.Out of reflex, she immediately uses a small towel to cover her body. Her heart was as though it would explode in her chest, as she stares at the door with wide eyes.It was Anton, he looks so carefree with a smile on his lips."Oops, you are dressing... Nice" he closes the door behind him and start walking toward her.Ashley didn't know if she should be hallucination or sad, he was just not making things better."You should have knocked" Ashley complains, and look away.His hot gaze on her body was enough to leave her shivering."Thought of surprising you and I guess
The car stops before the large mansion, Kayden and Ashley stepped out and made their way into the building with Kayden holding onto Ashley's hands.The sweet and mouth watery aroma coming from the kitchen was enough to leave the two begging for more as they lead themselves directly to the kitchen curious to know how is seriously cooking their nostrils.Ashley's steps froze upon seeing Anton busily cooking with an apron tied around his waist. "No way " she mutters under her breath in disbelief."You are back!" Anton spoke out breaking the silence."Come in, u don't mind you two watching me all day" he jokes.Kayden runs to him, demanding a piece of fried shrimp which Anton gladly gave him.Ashley didn't move, she stood there staring in shock."You should taste it, mama, it's delicious" Kayden rush to her and offer her a bite.Ashley's eyes widen even more when she realized the food is, even tastier than it smells. Her gaze travels to the busy man who seems to be enjoying what he is doi
Alina's hot gaze on Ashley was enough to make get her sweat dripping down her face, she doesn't understand what she did to receive such a glare from her best friend."Anything on my face?" Ashley asked, pretending to be oblivious to her constant stares. "Yes, " Alina responded. "A very big something that can cause a problem... Huge one can even make your face less attractive" she adds.This left a frown on Ashley's face as she tries to feel what exactly Alina said was on it. "Is it that bad? What is it? Can it be cleared in two days?" Ashley throws tons of questions at Alina, she wasn't scared of anything but acne... It always comes and never wishes to want to go and she hates it."Be serious, what's on my face?" Ashley asked again after seeing the exchange of looks between Kayden and Alina."Um, naiveness I think" Alina laughs, heartily at her words."You should stop playing jokes like that, it's no fun." Ashley complains, "you know just how much I dislike acne" "I never said you h
Andriy let out a chuckle of disbelief, "you are not serious, there is absolutely no way you can be serious" he doesn't believe her, nothing she will ever say will make him believe.He's been with Ashley for years now and he knows well what she is capable of and this isn't one of those things she can do and boastfully talk about it."I don't need you to believe me if this doesn't make you believe then stay but just know that won't stop me from leaving you" Brian pulls out another paper from the case and hands it to Ashley who then pushes it to Andriy."This can be issued, it's fake," Andriy said.Ashley smiled, " you don't have to accept it, just sign the fucking paper let me get out of here" "I guess I have stayed silent for a long time and I need to play my role" Brian spoke up breaking the awkward silence in the room."The divorce she is offering you is a peaceful one Mr Norman, I am sure you know too well your mom and sister could be sent to jail after the scandalous things they d
Brian watches her with a slight smile on his lips, even though he doesn't know more about Ashley, he does know she is a smart and emotional type.Not long, the car pulls off before the starlight cafe. Ashley walks into the building without delay, it's as if she knew where exactly to find Andriy.As expected, Andriy was sited patiently waiting for her. He stood up immediately upon seeing Ashley's approaching figure, he looks as though he was about crying or rather he's been crying."Ashley, thank goodness!" He breathes out and reaches out for her, "it's not true, right? You can't possibly want to divorce me right?" He begs with pleading gazes.Ashley bites her lips so hard that lines were seen after she released them, "Andriy?" She calls out in a whisper, "Behave please, we ain't the only one here" she informs with pleading gazes.Andriy turns around, only then did he realized they were the point of focus as everyone's gaze was on them."You won't leave me, right?" He asked although pe
It's been more than five days since Ashley left Andriy, he has been trying to reach her but she always declines his calls and silences her phone.She didn't want to talk to him or have anything related to him, but there is no way she could just run and hide pretending as though nothing happened between them and ignore her pain from the injuries caused by them."You shouldn't bother about it, my lawyer is downstairs ready to assist you in whatever way he can" Anton hugs her from behind, staring at the bright city through the window."Don't you think it's too soon?" Ashley turns to him, a look of confusion plastered on her face.Anton stayed for a long time, staring at her as if trying to read through those beautiful eyes of hers, he takes her hands and place them on his shoulders."You don't have to do it if you don't want to, there is more time to decide and get to choose the right thing" He whispers, pulling her in for a hug."No!" Ashley shakes her head, "I want to do it, just fee
Later that day, Ashley spent her time beside Kayden, she watch him sleep so peacefully taking in a calm and gentle breath.She was so focused on him that she didn't see his fingers moving. Only when he blinks his eyes open did she see."Kayden?" She calls out, surprised in her voice."Mama?" Kayden's voice was so soft that Ashley didn't hear him clearly but she answered anyway."Yes baby, I am here" Ashley stood up and side by side of the bed."I-i want to" Kayden struggled but the oxygen mask didn't let him.Ashley didn't know if she should help him or not but after a long thought, she did it anyways."I want to tell you that I love you and" Kayden takes in a deep breath with a smile, "I am happy you are here with me" he confesses.Ashley caresses his cheeks, "I love you too my love, and mama will always be here for you, ok" she comforts.Kayden nods in satisfaction. He look way better than when she saw him in the theatre and she couldn't help but be happy."Do you want something? An
"you are back!" Ashley said walking out of the bath and drying her hair with the hand towel.Anton didn't respond, he pulls her in for a tight hug stunning Ashley."Are you ok?" She asked concerned evidence in her voice."I have missed you" Anton breathed out on the crock of her neck, sending a tingling sensation down her spine.Ashley smiles meekly unable to contain the happiness, she grabs his face in her palms and pulls him at arm's length."I've missed you too" she confesses, tiptoeing and kissing his chin.Anton's eyes sparkle, and he pulls her even closer making her soft chest brush against his hard one.Ashley's gaze lingers on his for a long time, both lost in each other hot gazes."Is everything ok?" Ashley asked again, somehow there is this feeling she can't brush away.Anton nods, "yeah, very ok and kicking" he assured but Ashley wasn't convinced."What? You want me to prove myself?" He raises a brow. "Sure then, I will gladly do " he picks her up in one swift movement and
