~Ashley's POV ~
.."Can you believe it? He actually said he'll be coming over this weekend to see the kids" I complained to mom as she chuckled."And You're against it?" She asked as I furrowed my brows. "Am I supposed to.......allow it? He said it plainly that I was just a pawn,mom you don't expect me to just forgive him do you?" I asked, pampering my lips with a pink lipstick.
Am actually going out with Shirley and Kendrick,I've been suspicious about them,it seems they're a thing. "Of course not,left alone with me,I don't want you to go close to him,not even Poppy" she said as my contenance changed.
Poppy was just like a sister to me,she's actually my sister.......but she hurt me badly. They all toyed with my feeling,they treated me like thrash.
"Mom, we'll be back soon" I said, kissing her cheeks before heading out.
I walked out of the house.......and found Shirley waiting on a bike. "Am not riding in that" I stated bluntly as sh
~Bradley's POV ~..Her eyes grew wide as she saw me,am very sure that she was not expecting me. I got to know her plan when I went home and found mom panicking.I asked her what was wrong and she said Pamela left the house with.......a knife and she's pregnant,but it turns out mom was wrong.Her pregnancy was just a charade. Am so gonna kill her. I pulled her away from Ashley as she trembled."Pamela, you've crossed your line,am gonna teach you a lesson" I said, pulling her out of the restroom.Ashley followed behind, without saying anything.......I knew she was still mad at me but.....am gonna beg and beg for her forgiveness."Ashley,I thought you died" Shirley said as I chuckled. She's so negative in thinking. "Almost did, Pamela followed us" Ashley replied as Shirley gasped."Come on let's get out of here" Kendrick said, pulling Shirley with him."What about..... Ashley, isn't she coming home?" Shirley asked
~Kaleb POV ~.."Sir......the job is almost done" the guard said as I smiled. Am gonna finish Bradley in seconds then whisk Ashley away.Hmm.....they still don't know that Shirley is missing,I attacked her car this morning and very soon I'll take Ashley.She's mine, mine and mine alone. "Get ready to call Kendrick and also pin the death of Leah on Poppy,she needs to rot in jail for fighting another person's battle...~Ashley's POV ~..True to Bradley's words,the police came and arrested me. And when I asked if my dad was aware,they said he fueled the arrest.And that's the man I call a father? A man who claims to be sorry for what he did.I scoffed as the car sped off. Pamela has crossed her limits with me.Suddenly,the car stopped and the police officers pulled me out of the............car and pushed me into another one."There she is" he said as they hit my head, immediately everywhere turn
~Ashley's POV ~..It's been a week since everything happened and Kendricks body was not found. Shirley has not been herself, always blaming herself for dragging him into this mess."We're ready" mom said as I smiled. "Alright, have fun" i said, kissing Daniel before they walked away.Mom, Roselle and the kids are going to the park......so am stuck with Shirley.She's even refusing to eat or come out of her bedroom.Today was the first court hearing for Poppy's case. I was taken to the station and I was not found guilty.I still don't know if.....I should go or stay at home. I can't bear the thought of Poppy being sentenced to death,I just can't.But what exactly made her kill a doctor?? I was still pondering on it when Bradley walked in."Baby how was your night?" He asked, kissing my lips as I wrapped my arms around him."I slept well, just worried about Poppy,what if they decide to kill her, you know da
~Authoress POV ~..The wedding bells rang, signaling the arrival of the bride. Brandon stood beside eager Bradley while the March started.Finally, everyone was sitted then Ashley and her Dad began their March. She agreed for him to give her away because he was her father,not because she liked him.She had tears in her eyes as Mr silvanus handed her over to Bradley. "Mr Barcelo,I don't have much to say,this is the second time am handing my daughter to you,I believe you'll take good care of her" with that, Bradley nodded as Mr silvanus walked away.Miss woodall and Mrs Barcelo had one of the babies in their arms while Daniel couldn't seem to plant his butt on the chair.The ceremony started and the "I do's" were said. Finally it was time for the reception......The huge Barcelo hall was used and several dishes were served. Benita and Shirley has grown a bond and they're getting along very well.Ashley threw her flowers and su
Shirley's POV..I stood over the gas cooker, preparing Benita favorite food. Yeah she's coming over to Brooklyn for the gala.She'll be here any moment from now and am really excited. It's been a week since my encounter with Mr Hollis and I really don't know if I should take his offer.And am sure Benita will go ballistic if I tell her. My phone began to buzz as a smile crept up to my face."Hey....." I said as Benita chuckled over the line. "Don't tell me hey, just come and open up" she said, sounding excited...I quickly took the apron off and ran to the door. "Oh gosh girlfriend,I really missed you" she said, hugging me and kissing my cheeks as I chuckled."I missed you too,so I hope you'll be staying here and not in that hotel?" I asked, pulling her bags up to the guest bedroom."Am gonna stay here,but I have to check the Hall and other things,I want this gala to be special and splendid" she said as she f
Shirley's POV.."Gosh am fed up" I groaned as Benita searched through my phone for photos of I and Allan."So how did the both of you meet?" She asked, munching on her chocolate as her phone buzzed.I used this as an opportunity to take my phone. Yeah am really down right now.Mom, and everyone disapproved of the relationship,but I don't know why. The wedding date has been fixed and surprisingly,it's a court wedding.Yeah he chose that because it's nothing more than a contract marriage."Oh..... Shirley,am leaving first thing tomorrow,I have to host a party for the senators son and his new baby mama, you know he has three kids from different women" she said as I sighed.Don't blame me,I hardly watch TV nowadays so it's normal if I don't know such juicy detail."Okay...... I'll just send the wedding photos" I replied as she hugged me."If this will make you happy,am in support of it" she said as I nodded.
Shirley's POV..I can't believe he said that, sleep naked!! If he thinks he's gonna use me as he pleases then he's got another thing coming his way.I walked into the bathroom and locked the door. I took my time scrubbing my body after which I dried up and walked out in my bathrobe.He was already sitted on the bed, going through his phone. My eyes stuck to his exposed chest as it rose and fell."When you're done drooling, you can join me in bed" he said without lifting His eyes to look at me.I scoffed and walked to the wardrobe and opened it. My mouth fell open as my eyes raked the closet.Gosh,was he serious? How does he expect me to sleep in this little piece of cloth, gosh it's hardly a cloth.I searched for......a floral gown and as I was about pulling it out,a strong hand stopped me.My heart began to pound slightly as he pulled a short and exposive nightie out of the closet..."You eithe
Shirley's POV..I woke up with a pounding head as my eyes fluttered open. I shut it back due to the rays of sunlight and tried opening it again.I took in my environment and noticed I was in my bedroom,I and Kay's bedroom. But how did I get here?? And is it already tomorrow??As if to answer my question, "You collapsed" Kay said as I gasped.I didn't even notice his presence in the bedroom. He walked towards me and I noticed something familiar about his eyes.He looked away the moment he noticed what I was staring at. "How are you feeling?" He asked coldly and I felt the chill down my spine."Am.....am..." The door flung open, revealing the nanny with a crying cherry. Her face held an apologetic look as I nodded in understanding."Get out and take your things along" Kay said as I turned to stare at him. "But what did she do?" I asked, rocking the baby back and forth in my arms.By now,the nanny had scurried away
Shirley's POV.."Benny hurry up,we don't have all day you Know" I shouted from the door as Ashley chuckled. "What's funny?" I asked, getting pissed off as she raised her hands in the air."No offense ma'am,I just found your position hilarious" she replied as I scoffed and rolled my eyes."Alright, let's go" She said as we walked towards the waiting car..."From the ultrasound,your baby is doing perfectly okay and your health is stable, you're good to go" doctor Janet said as i broke into a smile. Watching my baby grow will be a joy in my heart and am really glad about it."So where are we heading to from here?" Benny asked as I shrugged "what if we go for skydiving?" I asked and Immediately she burst into a hysterical laughter."You don't wanna try it,at least not in this condition" she blurted out as i scoffed and sighted Kendricks car. But what is he doing here? Or am I mistaken?"Stop the car,uhm we wanna use the restroom am pressed" I lied and Benny narrowed her brows at me. "
Shirley's POV..I adjusted myself as soon as he walked into the house hoping he'll open up and tell me what's wrong but of course he didn't,he just walked up to me, forcing a smile on his face as I pushed him away."What's wrong? Why are hiding things from me?" I asked, looking at him sternly as I folded my hands under my breasts."Come on baby you don't need to bother about that, I'll solve everything, just relax I want you and my babies to have the best life possible" he said as I rolled my eyes at him. "And if something happens to you what am I gonna tell the kids? Come on tell me,if Pamela's troubling or Allan don't you think I should know?" I asked as he sighed."I won't get hurt,I promise am not gonna get hurt" he said, cupping my face in his palms and pulling me in for a kiss. ..Pamela's POV.."You really think you've won? Huh?" I spat, looking at the guy in front of me. "Lewis is gonna find you and be sure you'll be dead when he does so" I added with blood running down
Shirley's POV.."Trinng,trinng" the home line rang for the fifth time as Benny and I groaned. "Where are the fucking maids?" Benny asked lifting her butt from the chair since I had cherry in my arms."Hello, Shirley's residence" she spoke into the phone as her face lost it's glow. She turned to look at me before dropping the phone down."The boss and tiger was shot Shirley what kinda life are you living? Ashley needs to hear about this I mean......" My movements cut her blabbering short as I placed cherry on the chair and ran upstairs.Gosh..... Kendrick was shot? What went wrong? Who did this?" All this kept running through my mind as i searched for my bag and ran out of the bedroom."Shirley calm down, please he's gonna be okay" she yelled but that's not in my diary.I lost him before,am not gonna lose him again. I picked cherry up and dashed out of the house. Everywhere was quiet and strange.What exactly happened? I kept on asking my self as Benny rushed into the already moving
Shirley's POV .."Say cheers" i said, taking a photograph of Kendrick holding cherry. We've been having fun.......and i love that."Am sorry princess,but I have to go now" he said, pulling me close with one hand as he kissed me tenderly."I'll be waiting" i said as he kissed cherry and walked away. I have to call Ashley and mom.Just then,my phone began to ring and I picked it up. "Shirley what's the meaning of this huh? I thought you were married to Allan,why are you with that masked guy?" Moms voice came through the line and i know she's furious.But how did she know about this? My gosh Dalia,I think I need to warn her about interfering in my business she's not my sister so she should hold her peace."Mom calm down, I'll come over and explain everything to you, just don't go ballistic" I said, getting into the car as the driver sped off...Dalia's POV .."Am sure you saw my request yesterday" i asked, sitting on the desk in his office."Of course I did,but you'll work for it"
~~Kendricks POV..I was already dressed for the party so I decided to check on Shirley but she wasn't dressed."Hey aren't you coming along? I want you by my side" I said, squatting before her as she held cherry in her arms."I don't wanna come with you" she blurted out as I nodded and stood up. "Okay I get it I did something wrong,but don't forget I did everything just for you,I stayed away from you just to keep you safe,I did everything for you, don't you think you've punished me enough?" I asked almost in tears as I walked out.Shirley's just too stubborn, Ashley wasn't like this. I walked out, boiling in anger as tiger opened the door for me.Am gonna attend the party alone since that's what she wants. As soon as the car stopped, paparazzi crowded the car,as my guards made way for me to get in.Am not in the mood to answer any questions. I walked into the elegant hall filled with nicely dressed and distinguished guests as
Kendricks POV..I walked into the house as several maids bowed and scurried away. I've thought about it and am gonna reveal myself to her very soon,I don't wanna lose her.The shower was running when I got in...... and the room was dim. I peeled my clothes off and without thinking,I made my way into the bathroom as she gasped and reached for her towel but I grabbed her hands and placed them on my rising chest as she swallowed hard."What are you doing,let me go" she said, trying to free her hands as I pulled her closer to my chest."What are you scared of? Why are you pulling away from me? Why don't you wanna let me love you?" I asked, moving her hair from the nape of her neck and kissing the spot as she shivered and almost buckled her knees."That's because you don't love me,and I loved someone else dearly,I feel like am cheating on him" she confessed as I let the tears roll out of my eyes.To know that she felt that way for
