The Billionaire's Ex Chapter Eighteen
Thea was already seated on the bench waiting. The cool breeze of the evening swept against her face as she had her hands folded against her chest, in thoughts. The footsteps behind her sounded closer and she was forced to tilt her head in curiosity. She watched him till he took his seat besides her on the bench in the park. It was them against the cheerful giggle of little children All around. "Thank you for coming,""How is he?" Thea asked Samuel. "How did you leave him?" He asked instead before meeting her stare. "I didn't mean to," she said to him. "Tell that to him and he won't understand." He looked away from her and stared at the scene that formally took Thea's attention. He won't fully understand until you tell him the whole truth Thea." Samuel told her. "I can't," "What more sign do you want for you to know that whatever is happening is wrong? It has been wrong from the start." "What do you mean?" Samuel turned to her now, meeting her stare one more time. "Not too lon

Dawn sat before Mr. Peterson the next morning. Samuel requested of her to tell the police everything she had told him.After an hour of questioning, they let her go home.All they needed to do now, was find Zachary Phillips and they will be an inch close to the culprit. As least, that was what they thought."Thank you for today,""I really see no need for you to thank me, I did it for Freya. If what I just told you would help in whatever way, then I have no problem." Dawn said."Hm, okay.""On another note, why you decided to walk me home is leaving me bewildered," she almost smiled at the end of her statement."You shouldn't be, I'm showing how grateful I really am." Samuel said. "Ashton is bent on finding this culprit that killed his sister and he is one of the people i wouldn't hesitate to do anything for. So take it as if you really did something for him and I'm showing you gratitude in his place." Said Samuel."What about your life outside all this, don't you have something or so

"What happened? What happened Thea? Tell me," he said."I was hit by a car Ashton. I'm sure you heard of all of this yet you play confused." She said.He shook his head. "I didn't know, I promise. When you didn't come, I left the next day, I thought you really didn't want to see me.""How could I not?" She told him. "I got into an accident Ash. One minute I was hit by a car and the next minute, I was at the hospital when I woke up," she swallowed. "When I woke up, it was gone. The doctor telling me that the child couldn't survive it.""After that my mother's ailment became worst I thought I was going to lose it." She said with pain constricting her gut. "If only you knew half of what I went through, the pain, the suffering, the loneliness..." she paused. "I never intended for this to happen."He didn't know what to do but to plant her head against his chest. A few things had been cleared from his chest."I shouldn't have doubted you," he said when the silence was disturbing. "I knew y

The day went by faster than they wanted and Thea found herself at the hospital in the night. She had to sign a few documents at the hospital. When Ash insisted that he came with her, she refused.Ashton walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water from the fridge. He took a large gulp before sealing it back. His eyes darted to the tray of cupcakes that sat on the kitchen counter immediately and he smiled as the memory came flushing in."Master Ryder?" The feminine voice called and he almost yelped in fear. How had he not notice that Mary would be home now. "Are you alright? You were smiling to yourself," she said to him and he just chuckled."I'm fine Maria, I'm just too happy that I can't keep my smile away.""But what could make you this happy-" she stopped herself then thought. "Oh my Gosh, don't tell me it's-""In more ways than one." He joked."You guys finally made up, I'm so happy." She squealed."I'm happy too Maria, I'm too happy that I fear this happiness won't last,""Don'

"Why do you say Samson killed her?" Peterson asked. "Samson was seen an hour after she left.""Because Samson was in love with my girlfriend! He was jealous of the both of us so he took her away from me." "Mr. Phillips, do not make accusations you cannot prove.""I'm telling you, he's lying to you!" He blurted out before cooling down. "He's lying to you," he repeated with a sigh. "Well can you prove it?" Peterson asked. "No but-""Did you see him?" Zachary cursed when he didn't have anything to say. "No," Zachary said in defeat. "Then, I believe we are done here."---"What's on your mind?" Thea asked him. He never ceased brushing her hair with his hand as she planted herself to his chest."I'm thinking," he said."About?""My sister," he answered without missing a beat."Oh," she said. "Freya's death came as a shock to me,""Me too, I flew over immediately I heard of it. I am working with the police force in investigating who murdered her but everything seem to revolve around it

"Fiona what's wrong?" Thea hastened her steps."My God, he scares me. I think you're the only one that can handle him." Fiona said."Fiona-""Are you still wasting time? My God, go!" Fiona pressured and Thea was forced to walk to the direction of his office immediately."Mr. Ryder," she said when she entered. He was filing in documents in his safe when she knocked and entered in his request."What a pleasure making it early Miss Kennedy. I believe I would have to throw a tantrum before seeing you every morning considering you are the one with the fame.""Absolutely not, sir." He turned to her now with his brow raised in amusement."Sir?" He asked."Em...what am I supposed to say? You are my boss in the office, i-" He pulled her closer, surprising her. "I can't know you by your first name while in the office. You said so yourself." She stuttered."What if we compromise. You get to call me Sir when we are in public but in private, I'm just your Ash." His nose trailed down her cheeks."A

The lady dressed in a very short but sleeved gown with her bag on her right hand strolled into the office as if she owned the place.Claire overheard that Ashton had claimed a very famous company and she itched to she what it looked like."Ashton's Fiancée," she said to the receptionist. A man in his mid-twenties sat up from his seat immediately."Please hold on, let me inform-""I said, I am your boss's Fiancée. I don't need you phoning him. I did that a while ago!""I still need to phone his secretary at least," the man said."I'm giving him a surprise, please let me in.""If you insist ma'am. Go on, he's on the 3rd floor." She took her bag from where she had kept it and started going towards the elevator.---"And Thea," Thea paused when she was already at the door and turned to him. "It's tomorrow, you should be there Thea, I want you to be there.""But-""As my secretary, you should be at my call. I don't want thin

"I'm so happy you could make it to my place. It's the first time I've had a friend over."It was Saturday once more and they had just gone shopping for some particular things to make them look good tonight."I'm glad too Fiona,""So let's start with the make up.""I thought you said we were looking forward to a great artist a while ago." Thea said and Fiona demonstrated dramatically."Wala...here she is, your one and only true makeup artist, Fiona Weston" Thea burst out laughing. "What's funny?" Fiona put her hands in her waist acting sassy."You? A makeup artist? A professional one at that? I don't believe you.""Trust me, I am able to make someone ugly turn into a princess." Fiona retorted."You do know that you can be ugly and still be a princess, don't you?" Thea asked chuckling."Oh I do, I've seen lots of them." The both laughed. "Well sit, we can't be late.""Okay, okay." Thea said taking her seat in front of Fiona's vanity mirror.---"Here let me help you," Claire said reachi

"I do," Thea said, her voice echoing the silent hall. Freya held her lips in excitement. 'Now, you have been called to love one another. With the power invested in me by the church and the word of God, I declare you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.' His hand went round her waist instantly bringing her close to him. He closed the gap between them without wasting any time, sealing their lips together in a deep kiss. Absent minded to the never ending cheering of the crowd, they sealed their newly founded bond. When he finally let go, they were taking deep breaths, paying for the lost ones."Hey," he said. She smiled back immediately, muttering something similar to a 'hi'.---Clinging unto his arms, she smiled at the guests that greeted hem warmly. "Mr and Mrs Ryder, what a pleasure," Ashton shook hands with the CEO of Vogue. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Gabriel," Ashton said immediately.He pulled him forward for a hug but then whispered, "You caught a beautiful

Ashton opened the wardrobe where he usually kept his things, searching earnestly for something. How could he be so careless to have lost it?He combed his hair in frustration. An hour ago, he found out that her promise necklace still hung around her neck like she never took it off, while his, was somewhere in the house. He shut the wardrobe as quietly as he could so he wouldn't wake her up.He walked out of the room, trying to remember where he was with it last."Master?"The young man turned immediately to the soft voice of his maid."Maria," he said. For a moment there, they stared at each other. Her, trying to figure what he was doing up by this hour of the night. She stared right at his worried face. How was he going to explain to her that he misplaced their matching necklace?"Did I wake you up?""No, no you didn't. I was going to fill up my jug of water...tell me Ashton, what bothers you?" She said to him but he shook his head."It's nothing, get some sleep.""Are you in search

He just couldn't believe his ears, he wasn't sure he heard right.Ashton halted in his steps. "Is it true? You sleep around.""So you believe a common woman. She came here to tell lies about me and you all believe her?" Austin blurted out."Is it true or not?" "Of course it's not! She's only a liar who wants to ruin my family because I couldn't make one with her," Ashton scoffed. "How can you even say such a thing? It wasn't mistake that you have a son with her, you filled her mind with empty promises and now you speak Ill about her?""She was the one fooling around with me and why are you even defending her? She's just one of them, she was just a whore looking for who to please then." Ashton recoiled in shock at his father's words. "Whether she was a whore or not, she carried your child and she deserves your respect!" Ashton blurted out too. "I'll have you know that I

Alicia Saunders stood before Austin now, in anger."Why didn't you just let us leave?" She retorted. "If we would have left, my son wouldn't be dead. He was the only one I had left."

Till how long will you keep hiding it." Alicia yelled at him."You be quiet!" Austin snapped."Who do you think you are to come into my house and yell at my husband?" Elizabeth icily said.The woman walked closer to Elizabeth. Lisa raised a brow at her in question. "You really do not know?" Alicia asked but then said.

Thea stirred in her sleep, but she was restricted in her movements. She winced in pain as her vision now became clear after being blurry and weak."Hmm, you're awake." That deep voice made her pause. She turned in alert to the source of the voice. She sat up, dragging herself backwards till her back connected with the wall."Jace," she whispered to herself and the hair at the back of her head stood."Hello to you too, Thea." Jace said.Thea's eyes widened when she was connected to. "Jace, Jace please..." she now reeked of sweat and her fingers trembled in fear.

Tap!Ashton looked up from the file he was holding to stare at the lady walking around his work space. A mini-library to be precise."Which one will I pick?" She muttered to herself. His attention went back to the documents in his hand. His own moved, as if signing something then he let it down in the table again."I think this one is better-"He cleared his throat intruding in the conversation she was having with herself. "You won't find anything interesting in there, I am not a fan of romance novels.""Oh my, as if I didn't know." She picked a random book from the shelve and sat before him crossing her legs."You want to read in here?" He asked her in surprise."Can't i? Is something here that I'm not supposed to see? Do you do something in private that-""Just stop,""But,""You can read in here if you want, I was only asking."
