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
The billionaires heirsAshley...I look at myself in the mirror for the last time and sigh. Whatever I do or how much makeup I use, I can't cover the dark circles under my eyes. Last night, I was tossing and turning. I couldn't sleep because I was and am scared to marry him again, but as he said, I have no other option. I need to do this for my kids so that they won't be taken from me and I need to do it for my friends and family so that they won't lose everything they have worked so hard for."Are you ready?" Adrian's entrance pulls me out of my thoughts."Yeah!" I sigh.We both make our way out of the room and Adrian tries to place his hand on my back. I moved away from his touch and heard him sigh. His next move makes me jump. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer to him."Baby girl, you can't get away from me," he whispers in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. He removes his hand from me and walks out the front door. I feel the heat creep up my cheeks and sudden
