ASH
The mere sight of Michael was enough to send shivers down her spine. He came back home bearing shocking news for her. His bemused smile and relaxed demeanor told her that he was in a good mood but that didn’t mean she was safe. For him, Ashley had reduced into a plaything. He raped and beat her whenever he would feel like it. Much to her relief, nothing catastrophic befell on her that night as Michael was too happy to pay her any heed. The next morning, on the breakfast table, he finally broke the news to her. Ashley was in the kitchen washing dishes when her husband called for him. She ran out to him in an instant as she knew how much he hated waiting. “Tonight Mr. Smith is going to have dinner with us at my house. So, you better put your best into preparing the dinner. A mistake and I will break all your fingers” he growled at her while munching on his breakfast. She nodded as fear crept up. Why was he coming to their house? A waveDanielAshley’s pleasure-soaked moans reverberated through the room as he continued plunging into her. His enormous hard body was covering every inch of her soft naked form. With every stroke her moans got louder pleading, begging. But he was not finished yet. He would not stop until he had staked his claim on every inch of her body. His thrust became demanding and urgent as burning lust takes control of his sanity. Space got filled with a mellifluous sound of their body slamming into each other. Her ragged breathing and moans fuelled his carnal desires.His hand skimmed hungrily all over her body reminding her who she belongs to. He dips his face to claim her mouth while filling her core with his rod. The kiss stoked with passion and hunger strips her off her breath. He drags his mouth down to her neck. Kissing, biting, nipping. She lets out another scream when he bites a little harder on her left breast. However, her scream came out as a ringtone.
DANIELShe began serving him food with shaky hands. He was making her nervous. His presence was affecting her. The thought stirred both bitter and sweet sensation in his heart. Bitter because she didn't want her to dread him and sweet because her nervousness divulged that she thinks about him. His plate was filled with a large portion of Sesame Chicken. His lips curved into a small smile on seeing that. The aroma of food brought water into his mouth and he couldn’t wait to dig in. He had this dish years ago when her mother had made it for him. He was definitely not regretting coming here.Ashley stood to the side of the table after serving food to Michael. “Dig in, sir,” Michael threw a smile his way. Why was standing over there? Is she not going to eat with us? Daniel's attention drifted to her in confusion. She had her head hanging low. He turned back to Michael who had his whole attention concentrated on the plate. “Ain’t you going to
The new morning brings a new ray of hope for everyone but for Ashley every morning comes with a gift of torture. Last night Michael thrashed her senseless for not being able to eat as high-class people do. Was it her mistake that Michael hardly took her out to restaurants where she could see people and learn. Videos never really helped her. The techniques were simple but it was the confidence that she lacked. “She is a disappointment.” Michael had burnt it into her skull.Michael had left for work an hour ago. Having nothing in hand to do, Ashley began watching cookery shows. She loved cooking. The only thing that made her feel that she is not worthless.DANA knock made him glance up at the door. Gabby was standing over there with a seductive smile. The tight black mini dress was hugging her in all the right places. She had a file in her hand tucked underneath her boobs causing them to spill out even more. Daniel knew what she was aiming at. Without
AshThe constant thumping of her heart deafened her to the uproar of applause resounding in the air. She held Elis’s hand a little tightly striving to squeeze some comfort out of it. Her eyes were scanning the plain floor of the stage looking for a single thread of courage to grasp on while propelling her legs forward. She wondered if his eyes were still glued to her. She could feel the heat of his gaze though. And then Elise’s urgent steps came to halt making her pause too. His shiny black shoes that appeared in her line of sight and his intoxicating scent told her that they were standing quite close. His shoes looked brand new and very expensive. She wondered if he was one of those rich people who doesn’t wear the same shoes twice.“Congratulations,” his deep voice prompted her to look up at him. The knot in her stomach relaxed a little on finding his attentio
AshHer eyes bulged out of its socket in shock and alarm bells started ringing in her head. The breath knocked out of her lungs and her face paled at the sight of the man she had slapped a few hours ago. Daniel was the last person she was expecting to see at her doorstep. The shock and unfiltered fear rendered her speechless and her heart started beating at an inhumane speed. Her mind advised her to bang the door shut. But her body paralyzed with fear failed to comply with the command.A few moments of silence passed between them before a deep voice penetrated it. “Can I come in?” Daniel asked what seemed more like a command to let him in. Ashley was alone in the house. Considering what had happened a while ago, she didn’t feel it safe to allow him in the house. “w..ww..Why are you here?” she stuttered, trying her best to hide fear and anger in her tone.Her question prompted Daniel to slightly tilt his head
Rage roared through his veins. Anger had colored his face scarlet. His bloodshot eyes looked demonic enough to freeze someone to death. Chest heaving up and down with every drag of breath threatened to tear through the shirt. His ragged and loud breathing sounded more like a warning of destruction. The man of 6 “4” mirrored Devil ready to unleash his wrath on the world.What happened a minute ago had jolted something inside him. Something devilish. Something that should have been left untouched.While driving, his mind kept drifting away to the venom that Ashley had spewed at his face a few minutes ago.It’s a shame that despite having so many riches you lack basic manners. Did your mother teach you nothing?He tried not to lose his temper. He genuinely did. He kept his cool, even when she brought his mother into it. But the last thread of his control ripped apart when she dragged
A frown adorned Gabby’s face when his word traveled to her ears. “Michael?” she repeated his name confirming if she heard right. “No, he is not my lover. We just fuck sometimes. That’s it. The only thing he loves is money, ” she clarified with pleading eyes. Her statement piqued Daniel’s interest. He pressed it further. “Not even his wife?” he asked in a low pitch while tracing his finger across her shoulder. Lust began fogging her mind once again as she bit her lower lip and closed her eyes in utter bliss. Daniel knew the effect he was having on her and so was using it to gain some information. He waited impatiently for her to answer. “No. He doesn’t love her. His only love is money. He won’t even hesitate from selling his own wife for a bunch of cash,” she breathed out. Her nude body squirming under his touch.It would be a lie to say that her reply didn’t stun him. Michael is a gr
“This too shall pass,” her screen saver read every time her phone lit up. Isn’t it strange? Deriving motivation from an assemblage of words by a stranger. Words. If used carelessly, they can cut deeper than a knife and cause irrevocable damages. Wars have been waged, people have been maimed in history just because of some wrong words said at the wrong time. But on the flip side, these words are also capable of healing people. Breeding hope. Reinstating belief.Ashley knew the importance of words. Life had taught her a lot and this one happened to be one of her lessons. She knew what words she had to use in front of Michael to keep him from beating her. Can’t say, it helped every time. That is why she knew she had messed up big time with Daniel. Her words had an instant effect on him. His eyes reflected it all. The storm brewing inside him. At that moment, she feared no one more than the man standing before her. The air around him
Daniel gave her a heart-melting smile while approaching his chair that she returned with her own.He sat down and fixed his eyes on her. He liked watching her. Every movement of her. Her every expression. He was a goner and he knew that.Ashley felt uncomfortable under his scrutiny but she didn't object. Whereas a part of her wanted him to take his eyes off her the other part liked the way he was looking at her. Passionately.She sat next to him after serving him his plate. The smile was still pasted on Daniel's lips. He wasn't looking like his usual self that is stiff and untouched. He looked adorable and so cute."You can start," Ashley spoke to break his gaze on her. He blinked and lowered his gaze to his plate."It looks delicious," he beamed at her before picking up his spoon and scarfing down the food.That's it. That expression was what she was talking about. Him beaming like a child at the sight of his favorite food. That was her reward that she cherished m
Daniel flipped the sign to close as soon as the last customer walked out of the cafe. He sneaked into the kitchen where his wife and the owner o the bakery was working. There was no one on the premises except for the two. Daniel had already given earlier leave to the other staff members.His heart suffused with immense love when he saw her drowned in her work. He stalked over to her with quiet steps and wrapped his arms around her waist. He grunted and rested his chin on her shoulder while smooching the length of her neck, causing a radiating smile to chase across her lips."May I ask you what you doing, Mr. Smith?" she closed her eyes and tilted her head to allow him more access"Loving my wife. You gotta problem with that, Mrs. Smith?" he mumbled between kisses.The temperature dropped drastically in the room when his hand started stroking the sides of her body. His movement became urgent so did his kisses."Someone will see," she arched her back and close
FOURTEEN MONTHS LATERAshley's POVA lot of things have changed in the last fourteen months. I have my own bakery shop now which, by the way, is doing great. I also bought a house for my Mom.But if you ask me whether I have changed or not then I would say no. I haven't changed. He didn't want me to change but, yeah, I have surely become a better version of myself just like he wanted me to. I am still the same old Ashley but with a lot more confidence, faith in myself, and a new perspective on life. I am not afraid of my past anymore. I have learned to own my past and embrace it as an experience. An experience that taught me, toughened me up, and most importantly gave me a chance to meet him. Yup, I am all about him now.You know, Initially, I was mad at him for sending me away. But as time ticked by, I realized he was right. He was always right. I needed to spend some time with myself. I needed to discover my true self and then work on my shortcomings. I needed
Daniel cradled her face. His thumb wiping her tears away. "Baby..I want you to give yourself some time. You are..."Ashley grabbed his lapel and pulled him down. "No...I only need you. Please...Daniel..please....Don't do this to me. Don't push me away. I know you are mad at me... I....I am sorry, Daniel. Beat me if you want to..slap me..hit me (she takes his hands and starts slapping herself but Daniel retracts immediately) Ashley cupped his pain-etched face. "But please, baby, don't..don't push me away..I love you, Daniel..," she pleaded and attached her lips with his. She kissed him passionately, hoping that would change his mind. Tears streamed down her eyes.Daniel pulled away and rested his forehead against hers as his eyes too started to water down, "I love you too. So much that it hurts, Ashley" he squeezes his eyes shut but then opens them again and meets her desperate gaze."And I am not pushing you away, angel...I can never push you away...Do you understand?
Ashley glanced over to the goon with pleading eyes. She couldn't believe this was happening. The goon strapped her to the bed and stormed out of the room.Mr. Watson placed the gun on the table and went to lock the door once again."You are a brat, Ashley. You shouldn't have done that. You shouldn't have hit me. Your master," he spits menacingly while taking threatening steps towards her. Ashley cowered away in fear. Squeezing herself into the headrest. Her dress rode up her thigh, exposing her panty. But she didn't pay no mind to it.Mr. Watson tangled his fingers into her hair and pulled at them with full force. Ashley shrieked in pain but there was no one who could listen to her."Scream bitch. Scream louder. No one is going to hear you. Not tonight not ever," his palm smacked hard against her cheek, leaving the imprint of his palm.Her head spun by the impact as her face fell down to one side. He pulled her hair with more force making her head tilt up. T
"You are sick," she stated, realizing that the old man was indeed a psycho. Horror and understanding were written all over her face.Mr. Watson chuckled as if she has cracked some joke. He walked behind her and tightly clutched at the edge of her chair."Guess what. This sick man is going to decide your fate," he whispered in her ears. The back of his hand caressing her wet cheek. Her heart was thudding frighteningly against her chest.Ashley jerked away from his touch. " You can't do this to me. I am like your daughter," she bit out.Mr. Watson laughed at her words and paced across the room. His footsteps sounding off the walls. Blake was sitting like a statue in her chair. listening to everything, seeing everything but too helpless to do anything."Daughter? You are my slave, Ashley. My personal slave," the maliciousness in his voice rattled the strings of her heart. He resembled a maniac. A lunatic. How couldn't she see his true self?"But don't worr
Her eyes flickered onto the woman sitting in the wheelchair, catching a lone tear trailing down her cheek. Blake was listening to their conversation."My mother died in a car accident," she affirmed without blinking away from Blakely. Her eyes scanned her for any similarity but except their eye color, there was nothing common between them."Is that what they told you? No wonder. Well, it's a half-truth sweetheart. Your parents did meet a car accident but Blakely survived and your pathetic father died," he said casually.Anger fired up through her veins as she jolted the ropes that were restraining her."Don't you dare talk about my parents like this," she warned him in a cold tone."No?" he questioned mockingly. And then started laughing."Ohh Blake you've got a lovely daughter," Mr. Watson spoke to Blake gently caressing her cheek.Ashley had no idea how to react. But she didn't like the way he was treating Blake." Why am I here?" she gritte
She was hovering on the edge of unconsciousness when approaching firm footsteps caught her attention. Her ears perked up at the sound of the opening of the door and the footsteps became louder."Oh...There you are.......Sugar" a manly voice greeted her, causing her breath to hitch. A chill coursed through her body as the hair on her nape pricked up in response. His voice resonated: a freezing wind in a cold night. So unfriendly and so threatening. She had heard this voice. She knew it in her guts. But where? Her chain of thoughts was severed when he heard him approaching her. Step by step. Ashley whimpered in fear as a drop of warm tear trickled down her cheek.Her body grew stiff when she felt his finger pad wiping her tear.And then he tsked."Poor Ashley. Life has always played hide and seek with you. Isn't it?" he mocked her. And then she felt him going behind her back."Wanna know who I am?" he whispered in her ear from behind. Ashley breathed in his cologne and
Daniel spent the whole night at his office. Drowned in the darkness and shrouded with an eerie silence. This is strange, how one starts to see things more clearly in the dark. He saw it too. He saw how one truth turned his life upside down. He knew he was doing wrong when he signed those papers. Even though it was the right thing to do. He was hurt but not angry. The man still hadn't forgiven himself for that, then how could he expect Ashley to forgive him. But still, he couldn't help himself but feel hurt by Ashley's words. This must have been really tough for her.He knew Ashley had trust issues after what she went through with Michael. Her ex-husband, who pretended to love her until he got his fill of her body. It must have been really challenging for her to start trusting Daniel. But despite it all, she had started to trust him and the man had given her all the reasons.He didn't blame Ashley for how she reacted. It was natural for her to go frenzy after learning that
