Ashley knock on the door to Nathan's studies but didn't get any response. She gives another knock and when she didn't get any response, she sighs tirelessly and turns to walk away when the door cracks open and Nathan emerges from the closed door.Ashley was quick to turn to him, feeling a little bit embarrassed as if being caught up in the act."Sorry, just wanted to inquire if Kayden is here," Ashley said honestly, there was no need for her to lie anyways."No, why? Is there something going on?"Anton asked, faking his innocent. He knew very well where Kayden is he was the one helping him to hide."No at all"Ashley didn't know how else to tell him, "we were playing when I asked him to go to bed 'cause it's his bedtime but then, he suddenly ran off" she explains, playing with her hands.Anton frowns in displeasure as if trying to think of a place where he might have gone to."So, you thought he might be in here with me?"Anton raises a brow."w-well" Ashley stutters, " I've searched e
Ashley wakes up the next morning with a severe headache.Anton got Kayden all fresh and clean, it's the weekend and he doesn't go to work. His weekend is always family time, to enjoy his son and this weekend is unlike any other 'cause he's got Ashley too.Ashley walks out of the bath with a short towel tied around her body, it was too short that it could only pass her butt a little.She was the only one in the room anyways, so she thought until she pulls off the towel only to be greeted by Anton, staring at her with wide eyes.He came to drop painkillers so she will take them after she bathe, little did he know that he will be welcomed by the sight of her gorgeous naked self.Ashley screams and picks up her towel on the floor as fast as she could, covering her body though part could still be seen.Anton lowers his head, not embarrassed but shy. He can't remember the last time he felt this hot, reacting to the sight of a lady's nudity.So many ladies have thrown themselves at him, he'
In the garden, Ashley and Anton sit on the white plastic chair, non-interested in starting up a conversation.Anton works on his phone, stealing glances at her from time to time, while Ashley watches Kayden chase a beautiful white butterfly happily."Mama, come help me cash it"Kayden rush to Ashley and pulls her away. The butterfly has flied above, he couldn't reach for it, not with his current height.Ashley happily helps him, she hands him the beauty fly when she caught it.Kayden was super happy, he covers the beautiful creature in his tiny hands, never wanting to let go.Ashley was about to assume her seat when Kayden cries out all of a sudden, the beautiful creature was seen flying away.Ashley attempted to catch it again but fails, the fly has gone higher, and Ashley couldn't reach for it.This time, Kayden's eyes fall on his dad. He rushes to him and pulls him up, begging him to help him out Ashley was bent on getting the butterfly for Kayden, she saw Anton approaching but th
Melina stares at him, eyes wide in disbelief. She can believe he wished for her to never come back. But on second thought, what's her own there?She never came back to stay, not even if they beg her to crawl on her knees. All she wants to money and that she will get.She faked a sad face, "I see" she said sadly, head lowered.Anton didn't feel any pity for her, not a dime.Just then, he saw a lady in black approaching. She has long dark brown hair and she looks chubby, not fat.He frowns a little, she looks quite familiar. Just then he remembers. He saw her at Ashley's former house, and with what he's seeing now, he was sure she was the same lady Ashley and Kayden has been talking about."Good evening, my name is Alina and I wish to see Ashley!" Alina greets Anton, politely."Yeah, she told me about your coming, follow me please," Anton said, leading her into the mansion.Melina looks as though she will command thunder to strike Alina dead. Like, how dare she interrupt them, worse is
"She's so annoying babe, you should have let me feast on her face with my iron fist" Alina cries in regret, "I would gladly show her what it means by being aggressive".Ashley could only laugh knowing her friend won't be settling down any time from now."What aches me so badly is the fact that I tried being polite, ignoring her sarcastic words and mockery. Can you imagine Yana? Me being all good girl only to end up being insulted"Alina keeps on ranting. "I shouldn't have to gotten done with her even before it started"She breathes out and gulps on her wine. She shows the empty glass to Ashley who happily filled it."Let it go now, It's all in the past" Ashley tries coaxing her.Alina scoffs, "that past I will never forget" "You came for me and here I am, let's chat on our matter and all the gist you have for me" Ashley quickly change the topic."Better!" Alina murmurs and gulps her wine again.Kayden came running with the first aid kit and hands it to Ashley."Thanks, baby" Ashley
In Ashley's room, she was done dressing as she brush her hair staring at her reflection in the mirror.The door opens and Kayden runs in, falling on the bed.Ashley smiles seeing how happy the little boy is.Kayden moves closer, touching her soft cherry-brown hair, it was so soft that it felt almost as though he was touching silk."You like it?" Asked Ashley seeing the aww look on his face.Kayden nods, still touching. He's unable to get over it. "It's so soft" he murmurs and touches his hair to see if it's the same texture.A knock came on the door before the door opens and Anton walks in."Ready for bed?" Anton asked even after knowing the obvious."Yes!" Ashley said nodding, gaze falling on Kayden by the side."No, I won't sleep in my room. I don't want to" Kayden said repeatedly, jumping up and down Ashley's bed."Why not? Don't you love your nice power rangers toys and that of superman?" Asked Ashley.Kayden frowns. " I don't need any of it because I have you. You are my super m
"thought you won't make it," Alina said taking Ashley in for a hug.It's the day they are going out for lunch sponsored by Mike, Alina's boyfriend." Even though I don't want to, for the food and other fun things, I can't see myself missing out"Ashley jokes, pulling away from the hug."And you brought my cutie pie"Alina reach out to Kayden by the side, picking on his cheeks."You know I'd never miss the chance of making him spend" Ashley jokes, taking her seat while Kayden takes his by the side."I know, that's why I asked you to come," Alina said taking her seat."Hi, ladies " Mike greets and walks to Alina, placing a soft kiss on her lips.Ashley was quick to close Kayden's eyes before they could kiss," gosh! Guys, stop doing that" she complains and let loose of his eyes when the duo were done."I forgot we got underage here," Alina said, laughing.Mike chuckles and takes his seat next to Alina." I'm sorry for wing late, got busy with something but I'm here now, we've got the entir
Jolly came rolling on the shore as soon as they reach outside.Jolly couldn't believe Ashley will date treat her as if she is nothing, veins popping out of her face. "How dare you?" She yells trying to smack Ashley's face but Ashley was quick to combat with slaps leaving her with fingers designed on her pale cheeks."I've been too lenient with you, and I see you take that as me being not capable to defend myself but that ends today, now. I won't watch you keep on creating fuss everywhere, to the point you have the gods to call my son names."Ashley spoke out, being honest and real.Jolly buds in," and who says I haven't been tolerant with you? You know, you are nothing but a parasite, going here and there to feet on others just like how you did to my brother " Jolly didn't get the chance to complete her words as Ashley blessed her with a slap that was capable of messing up her brain."I will not have you calling me names. You know nothing about what it's like to love and lose that per
"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
