ASHANTI'S POV. “I wish they provided us with private workspaces. Working in the midst of all these designers will give me anxiety.” One of my colleagues, Kelly, cries as we inspect our allocated working space. “You know they can't do that. We need to work in an environment where we can be inspecte
ASHANTI'S POV. “Why did you suddenly get so eager to get into the car?” Asks Reagan as he straps on his seatbelt. I nearly roll my eyes at him. “I know it isn't because of what I said.” “Are you blind? Didn't you see the amount of people who were already giving us weird looks? Some even stopped in
I hate doing this to him. “We’ll talk more when I get home. Goodbye.” Beep. Beep. Beep. The line goes dead. I turn to Alpha Reagan. “You have to fix this.” “You can't ask me to do that. That young man sounded very pissed, there's no way I'm going ahead to resolve this issue. He's going to give
REAGAN'S POV.“None of your business.”Those words Ashanti uttered landed me a blow and I'm struck and speechless as I process them.She's going out on a date with a man. A man called Leonard. I have no idea from where this man borrowed the audacity to approach and try to woo a woman he very well kn
Her words are so heart breaking. She was sick but didn't want to tell me because she did want to be a bother to me. She only felt that way because of how I've been treating her ever since she showed up. I don't have time for her and even when we're together, I'm cold and distant… acting like I don't
.ASHANTI'S POV.“Come in.” I call out the moment I hear a knock on my room door. Immediately, the creaks open slightly and Ryan's black hair pokes in.“Ryan.” I call, chuckling lightly. “What's wrong? Why are you poking just your head through the door?”“Your date has arrived to pick you up.”“Oh…”
ASHANTI'S POV. I shut my eyes close and suck in a deep breath, hoping that when I open them again, I won't see Alpha Reagan standing in front of me anymore because as it is now, I'd be more at ease with the fact that I've started seeing things than that he has come here to stop me from going on thi
ASHANTI'S POV. “Leonard, once again I'm very sorry about Alpha Reagan's intrusion. It was very wrong of him to show up the way he did.” I apologize to Leonard for the umpteenth time as we take our seats at the table for two. “And for the one thousandth time, it's fine. It's not your fault he show
After we are done eating, we both go to the living room and I stand at a considerable distance away from him, not knowing what to say to myself now that we are back to reality.“We should definitely talk about last night.” Alpha Regan proposes in a calm, quiet tone. My heart misses a beat when my ga
ASHANTI’S POV.“This is all your fault. You’re the one who asked me to hide. That was totally uncalled for!” Alpha Reagan accuses the moment I close the door and turn around. I heave out a silent sigh and start walking away from the door.He’s right.It was a stupid idea to have made him hide.I’m n
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY…ASHANTI’S POV.My eyes flutter open and the ceiling above comes into view. I’m in my room, lying on my bed and the rays of light peering through the little cracks of the window curtains on the other end of the room tell me it’s morning. I start to panic but then I rem
ASHANTI’S POV.A combination of shock and mind spinning sensations submerge me into a complete state of oblivion as our lips move in perfect synchrony. The stunning contact of our lips is all glowing, sparking warmth. Soft. Firm lips. His lips against mine. Passionate and urgent to say something to
Also, I really want to know why he’s here. And I know I shouldn’t be, but I’m sort of happy to see him.We read; We don’t judge.“He went out with a couple of friends. He said to tell you not to wait up for him because he’ll be back late.”“First, he went to the gym and now to an outing. Wow! He’s l
ASHANTI’S POV.“Did you have a great time?” Leonard asks as we both make our way towards the main entrance door of the Mansion. I look up at him and smile as I nod my head. Despite everything, these past four hours I spent with him have been nothing short of fun. From taking a stroll along pavements
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FIVE.ASHANTI’S POV.“You good?” Leonard’s voice breaks the silence in the car and I let out a heavy sigh, contemplating whether to lie or tell him the truth.I feel like shit.Clearly, this plan of me trying to make Alpha Reagan feel miserable because he’s living with
“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.
