ASHANTI'S POV. “Oh…” A little exclamation leaves my mouth when Ryan gets into the back seat with me while Sheila sits shot gun. She's so mad at me. We've not exchanged a single word to each other since we had that little fight yesterday and I want it to stay that way. Because I feel like I'm goin
ASHANTI'S POV. “Ugh! Finally!” Sheila grunts in the most frustrated tone as she gets out of the car, slamming the door behind her. I flinch on my seat at the loud sound caused by that action of hers. My head veers to the left and my eyes fall on Ryan who's shaking his head in disapproval. Me too,
REAGAN'S POV.ONE WEEK LATER.All the search parties we dispatched have returned with still no news of Ashanti's whereabouts. No one they spoke have seen or smelled or even heard about Ashanti and I'm begining to get worried. Even if she was in hiding somewhere, someone could have seen her, but that
TWO YEARS LATER. ASHANTI'S POV. “Mum, I'm sorry, but your makeup was taking too much time so Ryan and I had to leave first.” I cry over the phone and my mother snorts in derision on the other end. “You children will never give me a break!” “See you at the conference hall Ma. Bye bye.” I hang up
ASHANTI'S POV. With time, the people around stop looking at me and resume their activities so I decide to linger around some more. I'm in the section of the lobby where various clothes have been put on display on mannequins, in shelves and on hangers and there are people, mostly women in each aisle
ASHANTI'S POV. “Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the founder and chief designer of Thread Treasure Creations, Ashanti Anderson.” Mother announces proudly as I make way into the spacious conference room with the brightest, yet most nervous smile planted on my face. I don't know why I'm so ner
REAGAN'S POV. “Alpha Reagan!” An anxious voice calls my name and the next second, my office door comes flying open and two men are rushing into my office and over to me with ipads in their hands as though they are being chased. Kyle and Ronald. The moment I see them and the state they are in, I i
“Well…” he takes two steps back. Exhales heavily. “Well…” “Kyle.” I cut him off. “You were right when you said there's a possibility that we weren't able to find Ashanti because she did not want us to find her. This is proof. What matters now is that she has shown herself to us again. What's even s
“Oh…” Is all I manage. Now I understand why he’s always so understanding . He’s guilty of the same crime. I can only imagine the look of terror on the guys’ faces whenever they ring the doorbell and Leonard opens the door and starts interrogating them.Chills!“Yeah. So, are you ready to leave?”“I
ASHANTI’S POV.My shoulders rise and fall as I let out a small sigh and stare at my reflection in the mirror in front of me. My blue eyes stare right back at me, hard, and I can bet they are judging me for insisting on going on this outing with Leonard, but I don’t care about their judgment either.
REAGAN’S POV.“And I’m not comfortable with you living under the same roof with another woman.”Ashanti’s declaration burns in my mind as I take the elevator ride to the floor where my office is located. Heck, I’m not comfortable living with another woman under the same roof either. I’m not doing th
She knows all that talk about me staying here so I can practice more with my team members is utter crap. She knows Alpha Reagan is the only reason why I want to be here.“Alright honey. If you say so. But remember I’m just a phone call away. Do not hesitate to call me if there’s anything wrong with
ASHANTI’S POV.My heart sinks into my stomach when I hear Reagan’s car zoom out of the premises. I hate starting a fight with him, but with his recent behavior, I couldn’t help it. It’s annoying when he acts so possessive of me, but can’t decide if he wants to end up with me or his ex-mate who’s liv
ASHANTI’S POV.“Good day to you, my Lord Alpha.” Leonard, who’s still standing by my side, greets the disgruntled looking Alpha Reagan with a bow.“Good day to you, Leonard.” He replies with his deep voice laced with dark undertones. I guess he still dislikes seeing me with Leonard. He’s going to lo
He’s stolen all of my heart yet he has the guts to live with another woman in his chambers…Ashanti, now you are going off topic. Leonard’s standing right before you. Focus your thoughts on him and the conversation you are having with him.“I uh…” I stutter, pushing a few strands of hair that keep f
ASHANTI’S POV.“Congratulations to the top 5 contestants of today’s phase of the competition. You all created outstanding designs and deserve to be at the top. Let’s give a round of applause to these magnificent design teams.” The hall erupts with applause from the other contestants and I can't help
REAGAN'S POV. I don't know if Selena left like commanded her to before exiting the room because I didn't spend the night in my bedroom when I returned from my walk. It felt so wrong to go back in there and sleep on the same bed a few hours after a naked woman other than Ashanti had slept on it. Doi
