Ashley energetically chops the spices on the chopping board, and she looks all focus on what she was doing.

Today, Ann wasn't there to help. She was giving some off days for personal reasons and Ashley didn't mind taking her post.

Ashley has always wanted to assist in one way or the other since she wasn't used to sitting and lazy around but Ann never let her.

It's either she gives the work that best fits a fifteen years old or makes her sit and watch or chase her away. The highest she's ever done was allowing her to cook the shrimp scampi sauce.

"You seem to love working!" Morgan said entering the kitchen.

She has been wondering where Ashley has gone, they were the only ones at home and being alone is something Morgan hates.

Ashley nods, "that's how I keep myself busy and less thinking when I am bored and lonely" she carries the chopped spices and put them in a clean transparent dish.

"What's on the menu?" Morgan leans on the slab, watching her work her thing like a professional.

    Ivanna stares at Morgan so intensely that Morgan could feel her bones grow limp, and she swallows.Her gaze met with Ashley, the look on her face says it all. Ashley didn't need her to commence any further."I'm sure she wanted to tell me something about Fabrice and his love for toys" Ashley explains, hoping it will be enough to brush off the awkward atmosphere in the room."Really?" Ivanna asked directing her question to Morgan.Morgan nods, "yes, Ashley wishes to know all that makes the little boy happy." She adds.Ivanna didn't respond, "brought some foodstuffs, go get them, Ashley" she orders.Ashley glanced at Morgan, then swiftly off the flame under the pot since it was long ready. Silently, she walks out of the kitchen.The kitchen was dead silent, with only piercing gazes being felt on each others bodies."What were you trying to do?" Ivanna broke the silence."What do you think?" Morgan returns the question, unwaveringly."Don't even try what you are thinking in that dirty mi

    Ivanna fumes sitting on the sofa in her room, she was as red as the hot metal on the fire if a little drop of water is sprinkled on, she will fry it to vapour."Hadn't been you had stayed in your lane and try not to be so good" Jolly snorts by the side, irritated and angry that Ivanna could let Morgan talk to her in such a manner."She is an ungrateful bitch, ready to snap anything away with any giving chance" Jolly couldn't stop herself from ranting."I wonder what you saw in her" she snorts.Ivanna's gaze travels to her, the anger on her face couldn't be ignored."You always find pleasure in throwing all the blame at me as if I caused it all" Ivanna sounded angry.Jolly rolls her eyes, "it's not like you are any innocent, " she snorts, "we wouldn't have been facing this if you didn't include her in this" "I did what was best at that time!" Ivanna yells, unable to keep quiet.Jolly was in no way relenting as she responds with the same level of harshness. "And what you saw best wasn'

  • STUCK IN-BETWEEN    let's start all over!

    Life with Morgan and Fabrice around was worth calling it life to Ashley since she and Andriy were no longer that chatty and ok.Ashley walks out of the bathroom drying her patting her hair dry with the hand towel and walks to the closet.She was taken aback by a sudden hug from behind, it was Andriy.He has been watching her since she steps out of the bath hoping she sees her but she deliberately ignores him. He should spark things up than wait for the right time.He wasn't seeing anytime worth the waiting, lately, they have been drastically drifting apart and that is unlike the relationship he'd seen"You smell so good!" Andriy comments, burying his face in the crook of her neck.Ashley didn't respond, she stood quiet and let him feel comfortable."I've missed you" Andriy continues, "those times you throw your comb and pillows on me. Those times you always find my arms so comforting and the only place you will love to stay forever, I miss how you stare at me with those dazzling eyes

    "thought you will never visit again" Alina complains facing Ashley with her back as she pretends to be angry.Ever since the last time they separated, she hasn't been able to reach her and she wasn't ok with it."I'm sorry, just a lot had been going on and whenever I remember to call, I always end up forgetting" Ashley explains as she reaches out to Alina but she shrugs her hands off."Don't try to sway me with that, I won't fall for it?" Alina said as a matter of fact.Ashley breathes out and walks to the sofa, "I need to rest my head off Ali, a lot is going on in that mansion most especially as Morgan and Fabrice have joined us" she said tirelessly, it's like she will spend her entire day here to accumulate enough energy that will keep her going when she gets back.Alina turns to her with a frown, "Morgan and Fabrice? Who are they?" She asked curious to know.Only then Ashley remembers she hasn't been giving her updates lately."You see what I am saying? Things might be going waywar

  • STUCK IN-BETWEEN    I dare you!

    Ashley stood before the large mirror staring at her reflection, Alina had been telling her how pale she look and only now she sees for herself.She had never been attentive to her looks and so on, but it's better she starts giving herself more love than she's always has.She puts down the hair brush and leave the room. It was a new day, and a new beginning for her and she was willing to start a fresh.As she walks through the corridor, she two step away from Morgan's room when she over head overhead voices.

  • STUCK IN-BETWEEN    The heartbroken truth.

    "you are a good person, Ashley and I knew there'd come a day like this." Morgan breathes out, walks and takes sits by Ashley." This will be hard for you to digest, I wish it didn't end like this. " Morgan kept on going around beating around the bush yet, she wasn't heading anywhere."Whatever you have to say, go on and tell me. The more you talk without heading anywhere, the more you keep me in suspense with a thundering heart" Ashley couldn't take any more of her blabbering."Remember your wedding night?" Morgan asked.Ashley frowns, she doesn't know why Morgan brought up the topic but she nods anyway."What do you think happened after the wedding reception?" Morgan pressed on."We left for the hotel we booked and" Ashley didn't know what happened next, no matter how much she force herself to think, she couldn't bring out the full image of what happened."Wait! Why are you asking me all this?" Ashley returns the question with a frown."You surely can't remember, it all works perfect

  • STUCK IN-BETWEEN    Apologies.

    Ashley walked down the stairs lost in thought, she wasn't focused and was brought back to the present by the feel of a certain someone clinging to her leg."Good morning, aunt Ashley" Fabrice greets with a sparkling face.Ashley smiles at him, it took her a whole lot. Even though she wants to hate him, she can't.It was neither the little boy's fault nor hers, he came into her life as a result of Ivanna, Jolly and Morgan's selfishness.She crunch down to his level and cupped his face in her palms, "good morning, sunshine. Where are you coming from? I've been searching for you all over the place" she jokes and pinch his cheeks.Fabrice giggles happily, "I went out with Uncle Andriy, he took me to the park and I saw this big teddy bear and Trailer, it was awesome. We even had a ride on a train" he chimps excitedly.Ashley couldn't help but smile, but the sadness in her heart couldn't be ignored or brushed away.She caught sight of Andriy standing by the side waiting for her to get done

    "do you want to know what you did wrong? Well, I will tell you. You made my son go against me and my wishes, you made him threaten to turn his back on his family if I didn't accept you" Ivanna yells, "did you expect me to welcome you with open arms just because he loves you? That's ridiculous, he loves you not me and I am not willing to bend my rules for anyone, not even you Ashley... Never" "At long last, the truth is out" Ashley nods, "I thought I was just hallucinating things but now I know it's truly happening, the handwriting was clearly written on the wall but I gave a blind eye to it... Now, I am facing it" she cries in regret and turns to Andriy."I guess love alone can't sustain a relationship, 'cause even love itself fades and grow weak when the load is more than what it can carry" Her voice was soft and regretful.Andriy was still trying to process everything, but no matter how much he tries, he couldn't assimilate everything at once.Ashley let out a painful chuckle, "I'm

    "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
