The billionaires heirs Ashley... It's two days later after my talk with Adrian. I called my parents that night and asked if I could talk to them. We told them that we were getting married again and my father was mad. He wanted to kill Adrian but I told him to be nice and that I'm doing this for the kids. I didn't want my father to know that he threatened me because then my father and my brothers would flip out and, to be honest, I don't want any more drama in my life. The only thing that matters is the fact that my children are happy. I would do anything for them.My father said they would be here today and that he wanted to talk to me. I know he wants to find out what the real reason is for my marrying Adrian again."Mommy," Isabella calls out. I was in the kitchen making them some pizza."Yes, sweetheart?" I asked and I noticed the sad look on her face."Why isn't Daddy coming?" She asked, climbing on the chair. "Daddy must be busy at work. I don't know, baby. Why do you ask?""W
The billionaires heirs Ashley... "Look, it's your decision but I don't want you to get hurt again. I know how much it broke you the first time," he says, taking me in for a hug. I lay my head on his chest as I hug him back. "I love you, sweetheart, and even though we only got you back three years ago, I want you to know that there is nothing I wouldn't do to see you happy," he says, kissing the top of my head. "I love you too, dad. Thank you for being there for me since the day we found each other," I thanked him. It feels good to have a father after all these years of thinking that I would never know what it would be like to have the love of a father."That son of a bitch!" I hear Jason scream hard in the living room and I wonder what the hell is going on. I looked at my dad and saw the confused look on his face. We both made our way to the living room, where Jason was standing, glaring at the television."Jason, what happened?" I asked, looking at him with a frown. He turns to loo
The billionaires heirs Ashley... "This is it for today, guys. Thank you for making another event successful," I told them and they all high-fived each other."You can go home now; I know we have worked hard today to make this party the biggest yet. Go and enjoy the afternoon," I told my employees.We had a big party this morning. One of the CEOs retired and his son was made the new CEO. They asked me to do the catering and there were more than five hundred people. It was one of our biggest events yet.I was nervous at first but when I saw how my team worked together, I knew we would do alright.My phone has been ringing non-stop since this morning but I ignore it since I know it was Adrian who was calling me. I don't have anything to say to him, not after what he did last night. I was just about to leave my office when Luke came in and said, "Ashley." Great, what the hell does he want?"Luke, what are you doing here? We are closed," I asked, taking my handbag."How are you?" he ask
The billionaires heirs Ashley... I walked inside my house and my children immediately ran up to me, Mommy!" they yelled, hugging my legs."Hey, babies!" I smiled and I forgot about Adrian instantly. They are the only ones that matter and they could make me smile when I had a tough day."We made another drawing," Bella says, showing me her drawing. "Look, mommy, it's a dog." "It's beautiful angel," I smile."I made a car, mommy," Ashton says, showing me his drawing."Wow, it seems like the two of you are going to be artists someday." I smile."Good evening, bestie," I hear Jason say from the kitchen. I walked inside and saw him cooking. "What are you doing?" I asked him."Making some dinner for the three of you," he shrugged."I can see that but why? Where is Freddie?" I asked, placing my handbag on the counter."Because I know after today you won't make food and order takeaways and besides, when was the last time I made you some dinner? And Freddie will be at the house in an hour,"
The billionaires heirs Ashley... I feel Adrian picking me up and I let him. This was the first time since I met Jason that we fought. I feel lost. He was the only one who stood by me through everything I have been through in my life. Adrian kissed the top of my head and I pulled away. I could see the hurt flashing in his eyes but I couldn't care. It's because of him that I lost my best friend.Why did I have to say those nasty things to him? I haven't said anything nasty to Jason and here I am today saying things to him that hurt him. I know he is only looking out for me but I can't tell him that Adrian is blackmailing me.Of course, you can. My subconscious says."Mommy? Are you alright?" I hear Isabella's voice. I hate it when they see me like this. I am supposed to show them to be strong but now I feel anything but strong."Mommy is alright; she just needs to rest," Adrian tells her as he carries me up to my room.I let the tears roll down my face. "This is all my fault." "No,
The billionaires heirs Adrian... My thoughts were interrupted when my phone started to ring. I looked at the screen and saw that it was my grandmother calling. She was mad at me when I told her about everything. She was the only one who believed Ashley. She even hit me with a frying pan when I went over. The day I told her that I'm getting a divorce, she was so mad that she chased me out of her house, saying I could go back when I got my sh*t together but I knew she couldn't stay mad at me for too long. She and Grandpa were sad that I didn't fight for Ashley and something inside of them died that day when Ashley walked out of our lives."Grandma," I sigh. I know she is going to scold me."Adrian, why haven't you called me? We are worried sick about you! Did you find her?" She rambles on."I'm sorry, grams. I was busy these past few months. I didn't mean to neglect you." "Where are you now? I will drive down there myself and give you a good hiding! Don't you dare tell me that you a
The billionaires heirs Ashley... "Dom!" I yelled when he got on top of Adrian and started hitting him. Adrian groaned in pain but Domenic continued to hit him while Michael just stood there, smirking at Adrian, who was being beaten up. I roll my eyes and grab Domenic's shirt, trying to pull him off, Adrian. "Please, Dom," I begged and when I looked up, I saw the kids looking at the scene with tears in their eyes. "Dom, please stop; my kids are watching," I begged again and that seemed to snap him out of it. He stands up and glares at Adrian. I bent down to ask Adrian, "Are you alright?" I asked, touching his face. He slightly winched at my touch but nodded. I help him get up and take him to the guest room."I'm sorry about that," I say as I grab the first-aid kit."It's not your fault; besides, I knew this would happen sooner or later," he mumbles. He takes the first-aid kit. "I can do it," he says, walking to the bathroom. I shook my head and decided to go down. I know Domenic wa
The billionaires heirs Ashley... "Daddy?" I hear Isabella say but I stand up and walk out of the room, not wanting my kids to see me in this state, although I think it's too late. I make my way upstairs to my room. I need a shower. I turned on the water and stepped under the cold water, letting the water hit my skin. Adrian ruined my life. Why didn't he just stay away from me? Why did I agree to marry him again? God, my life is such a mess.I cry for a few more minutes and then I wash before getting out. I wrapped a towel around my body and made my way back to my room. I was just about to put my pajamas on when I heard Adrian say, "You always liked sleeping naked." I turned around quickly and saw him leaning against the door frame, looking at my naked body and a blush made its way to my cheeks."Did you forget how to knock?" I snapped."It's not like I haven't seen it before," he winks, smiling. I roll my eyes but a smile forms on my lips as I quickly get dressed. "Why are you ins
On our way home, we stopped at a shop brimming with vibrant candies, chocolate bars, and treats in various shapes and sizes. Chloe's eyes widened in delight; candy was undoubtedly her weakness. She peered through the glass, contemplating her choices. Bruce stood beside me, arms crossed, both of us o
Ace…My feet were resting on the desk shared by Bella and me, our office now organized and neat, though I knew it wouldn’t last long. I had spent the early hours sorting through paperwork and issuing directives. As I brought a cigarette to my lips, I inhaled the acrid smoke, watching it swirl and gr
I appreciated Chloe's charming nature; she had stunning dark brown hair and a mature demeanor, yet she could be quite mischievous. It became clear that she had inherited my personality traits. Whenever she threw a fit, it was incredibly amusing. Ace, however, did not share my amusement; he seemed to
Richard shook his head disapprovingly at Ryder, clearly unhappy with how easily he succumbed to Chloe's antics. As for me, I didn’t mind at all. Ryder was her uncle, and he could spoil her if he wished. The food arrived, and I took a sip of my wine. Laughter filled the air as everyone enjoyed themse
Bella…I urged the maids to hurry up with the dining room as we were busy setting it up. Only the finest cutlery and crystal glasses were to be utilized. The table was to be adorned with white tablecloths and red placemats. I moved gracefully around the room in a black dress that accentuated my figu
“You have created a family, my love.” I returned her smile, gently rubbing her shoulder as I looked down at the way she cradled her so effortlessly. She traced a finger through her dark hair. "She’s going to look like you," she said with a soft chuckle. "What have you decided?" I asked, feeling a se
The atmosphere was intense. "It's okay, Bella. I'm right here with you." I gave a reassuring smile while holding her hand. The fear coursed through me. Her contractions came in waves, accompanied by a mix of screams and whimpers. I could see the exhaustion etched on her face, but I believed in her s
She sat down on the lounger, gazing straight ahead, the sun's glare making it difficult to look up. I approached her and settled down beside her on the spacious lounger, using my arm to support her head, creating a makeshift pillow. "Ashton called me a whale the other day," she scoffed. "What a jerk
Ace… I secured my firearm back onto my belt after taking a man's life. He had it coming; he was undermining me and it was intolerable. "Clean it up," I commanded with a snap of my fingers. My team sprang into action, quickly removed the blood, the body, and any trace of what had happened here. As
