Ashely POVI walked up the aisle with my head high, feeling so elated. The wind of joy swept me off my feet and left me beaming from one direction to another. I couldn’t be more proud of myself than I was, seeing all my dreams come together in one day. The sweet and welcoming atmosphere brought goosebumps to my body, screams, and claps from notable men and women who stood to usher me in, put me in another realm that only I can explain. The paparazzi’s all around kept flashing beams of light on me to capture the moment. I turned my gaze to see the love of my life sauntering gorgeously by my side with my arms wrapped around his and a wide smile that engulfed his well-shaped face as though it was our wedding. “This can only be a dream,” I murmured beneath my breath. But then, was brought back to reality by the screams of people. Gave out a wide grin as more echoes thundered into my ear. a moment I have worked for all my life, and seeing it finally come to pass it’s a feeling that’s out o
"Ho my God." I bellowed as my heart began to race. immediately opened my Mspy app to track them. I couldn’t decipher what was happening, lots of "what if"cladded my mind. But then, they were all contradicting the state I left them before I went for my occasion so I waved the thoughts away and ran to the hospital. The moment I got to the hospital, I was shocked to my bones at the number of charcoal-black-tinted cars that were packed outside. I couldn’t help but to stop and admire it a little. I have a thing for cars. Whenever I see good ones, I get so attracted to them, in a way that I might even end up forgetting what brought me to the place. “The owners of these cars must be really rich” I murmured beneath my breath as I ran into the hospital building where the Mspy app was leading me to. I suddenly stopped the moment I entered the building, as my sight was graced with tall and huge men in black suits and dark shades covering their eyes, standing at strategic points, with frowns o
I heaved in a sign of relieve “A perfect plan, on a perfect day" I let out a smirk and headed to the convoy. The weather looks calm and beautiful, everything was perfectly placed in the right position which reminded me of how perfect my plans were going. The gentile breeze wafted through the slightly opened window, blowing to flame the anger that was burning in me. I got to the hospital feeling more energetic and alive than I have ever felt. Seeing the powerful Montenegro who everybody once feared lying helpless on a bed that is half the size of my trashcan gasping out for breath all because of me, his wife stood at a Conner trembling in fear with tears rolling uncontrollably from her eyes. I looked back at Montenegro who had his gaze fixed on me with disgust written all over. I let out a wide smile as his look gave me a feeling of satisfaction. “Montenegro” I called out. “Your greatest nightmare came to see his old friend who is sick of a stroke. Hope I am welcome” I questioned wit
I moved out of the way for him to pass, with smiles on my face trying so hard to hide the nervousness that was slowly creping in because of his presence. I watched him closely as he left the door and walked past me, but then stopped and turned back as though he forgot something. He looked at me with a stern glare and an expression that depict disgust before going to meet my parent. I couldn’t tell why he had that sulky look, but then I could tell that something wasn’t all right. I immediately followed him and ran towards my mother who stood by a Conner of the room with tears rolling down her eyes, and some pieces of dollar note littered on the floor. “Mom, you have to stop crying, and tell me what is going on” I interjected, with a tone of urgency. As my heart throbbed as though wanting to fly out from my chest. I waited for her responds but didn’t get any, stretched out my arm and gave her a warm hug to stop her from crying but that didn’t help, as more tears rolled down her eyes s
“Don’t touch my daughter, she didn’t do anything to you” my father finally broke the silent with a trembling voice, as he struggled to stop the tears that had already started flowing from his eyes. My heart began to throb rapidly, as the boiling sound of anger made its way to my brain causing me to hate with passion the figure that stood opposite me. “Ho, Montenegro, I see you are now very humble" Laughs mockingly “kneel down to me, so that I would consider your request” he said in a command. I was still trying to process everything that was happening, when I saw my mother run towards him and kneel with tears rolling down her cheeks. “Please she is the only child we have got, don’t harm her let her go” she pleaded “Am I the target? Nobody has said anything to me” I knew it was time to act, but then acting in ignorance would only add fuel to the already blazing fire. I needed to think fast and at the same time think smart. “Montenegro, can you tell this whore to get out of my way?
Ashely’s pov“What!?”I thundered, as my heart suddenly beings to palpitate as though threating to jump out of my chest. Breathing so fast, I raised my head gradually in surprise, uncertainty and anger and meet his cold stern glare peering directly at me. His words thundered into my ears like distorted sound of frequency, making the environment sound noisy and rowdy despite it being dead silent. I turned my gaze towards my parent expecting them to say something or rather call the cops on the monster standing in front of me but that looked impossible because, they both had more fear and confusion clustered on their faces. The environment is for real, tensed. And all I can think of at the moment is to eliminate the cute monster who is trying to shatter my family, my dreams to pieces. “This has become my battle, and I am going to fight it to the end” I braced up and faced him, but at first glance, I looked like a baby mouse at the feet of a giant elephant. That didn’t have so much effec
But for now my darling, we need you to run as fast as you can.” This time my mom spoke in a more audible voice but with agitation adorned on her face. As she spoke, I couldn’t help but wonder why they were both scared of him. The parent I grew up with, thought me to face my fear and not to allow anyone treat me wrongly by always standing my ground, but with everything happening now, I can’t really tell if they are still holding on to their principles or has allowed fear to rule their mind. “Mom… are you guys guilty of the accusation he made earlier? Did you and dad really kill his parent to take away their wealth?” I questioned in a very low tone with my head buried in between my legs. A long pause silenced our conversation making it easy to hear the sound of our breath, every second counted as though it’s was decade. Several thought cladded my mind and slowly I began to question who I really was, I expected my parent to immediately interject, the moment I asked the question but ins
I sat with my hands fixed on my chin as several though pooped on my head making me feel scared and uncertain, Ministers Falcon's voice kept playing a sound that wasn’t pleasing to hear at all which made every second seems as long as an hour. I grew up knowing him as someone who doesn’t go back to his words, and until I find a wife for myself, he would go to whatever extent to make sure I marry his friend’s daughter. “Now that he has spoken about getting married, I would be forced to decide for Ashely myself. And at this point, she would be left with no other choice than to marry me” I muttered as I stretched my hands and grabbed my phone that was lying lifeless by the side of my table. My eyes immediately darted towards the time the moment it turned on. “Wow” I shouted in utmost surprise. She thinks she is smart” I yelled sauntering around my office with a gloomy look and a beating heart. I needed to think of a way to go around this without causing extra trouble and dragging so muc
