STUCK IN-BETWEEN Her skills
Ashley stares at him in disbelief, speechless about what to say.She stumps out of the room, leaving Aston standing, alone.She didn't know if it was just anger or something else as she felt her stomach coil in disgust.She's always wanted to work in this hospital but not anymore. Not with what Aston just did. There's no way she will be able to take any more of that.Lucky her, Anton has made her his son's nurse.She bumps into someone but didn't care to look as she ran out of the hospital, trying so hard not to let herself burst out in tears.Selene staggered at the impact of their collision, almost falling. She frowns upon seeing her run away, and she wonders what's going on.With one last glance at the exit, she knocks on the door and by his command, she enters.Aston who has always been the cool and I-am-ok guy was looking like a castrated goat that has so much to deal with.He looks so disoriented and pale. Selene doubt if everything was ok because that was the same look she s

Out in the garden, Ashley watched Kayden play with a smile.Compare to how he naturally was, Kayden was livelier with her around."Mama, look!" Kayden yells as he points at the butterflies, that flew over him forming a circle."They are so beautiful!" He comments.Ashley walks to his side, "yes baby, they are... Just like you" she crunches down to his level as they both stare at the beauty flies."That's why they are called beauty flies," Ashley said."But, I am not a girl" Kayden pouts, "only girls are beautiful" Ashley was amazed at how smart he can be. "Of course not, you are my cute little handsome Kayden with charming eyes" she pinched his nose, and Kayden giggled happily."They are flying away" Kayden shouted when the butterflies flew higher, up in the sky.Suddenly, his happy face grows sad. Ashley frowned, not understanding what spoiled his mood all of a sudden. Before Ashley could ask, he suddenly speak up."Why can't I get my butterfly, they always come and go but I never g

The night went on and the morning came. Ashley got ready for work.Stepping outside, she was met with a familiar black car standing by the roadside, waiting for her.Of course, she knows who the car belongs to but she had no intention to make use of it as she walks past the car, stopping a cab."Ms, Ashely!" She heard her name being called. Her head snaps to the side, she stares at the approaching man."I was sent to get you, Ms" Robin informs."Thanks, I can go on my own" Ashley said nonchalantly, flashing him a polite smile."Sure you can but my boss's orders are not to be disrespected" Robin informs.Ashley rolls her eyes. Not like she wants to disrespect Anton or anything related. She just doesn't see herself accepting any more of his offers. Not while she hasn't tried to clear things out.She's scared he might be thinking she's using him and that alone, sends her to the very edge." you, not me!" Ashley reminds," you should be begging you know, you were asked to come to get me n

Anton paced back and forth in front of Kayden's room door, eyes red as veins could be seen popping out of his face.All these while, Ashley has been sitting on the door, crying nonstop. She was worse than a frustrated being and as pale as a coupe.Her heart couldn't let her have a single rest and a moment of silence as she kept on blaming herself feeling, even, guiltier than she already was.The door push open and Aston walked out of Kayden's room.Anton quickly gets to him before he could take any more steps as he stares at him pleadingly."Thanks to Ashley's smartness, he was able to survive," Aston said, "she got the water off his lungs before it could suffocate him" his gaze was now on Ashley was now on her feet but didn't dare to move any closer to the men."He just needs a good rest, he'll be fine" Aston taps on Anton's shoulder, and with one last glance at Ashley, he left.Anton didn't spare her a glance and walked into the room, shutting closed the door from inside.Ashley's h
STUCK IN-BETWEEN Not a quitter.
"Asleep?" Anton said from the side stunning Ashley as she immerge out of Kayden's room."Yes, sir!" Her voice was soft, head lowered. She closes the door behind her."I bet to take me..." Before Ashley could complete her words, she was cut off."I am sorry" Anton apologize."Huh?" Ashley couldn't believe her ears. Eyes staring at him wide open."Is it that you didn't get me or do you want me to say it, again!" Anton raises a brow.Ashley quickly clears her throat, rubbing her behind the neck.Anton breaths out tirelessly, this is the first time he's saying sorry to someone other than Kayden." I am sorry!" He repeats the tone louder than the first." You did nothing wrong to apologize, sir" Ashley explains feeling uneasy, " I should be the one doing that, I was so careless to have left him all by himself and yet, be so selfish to want to quit "" Right! You do have lots of apologies to make" he jokes for the first time since the incident occurred, smiling. Ashley couldn't help but let

"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

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...
