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
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
“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 Billionaires Heirs Ashley... I paced the living room of our house, waiting for my husband to come home. I have been sick these past few days from morning sickness, I went to the doctor today to confirm my suspicion and today he gave me the best news I have longed to hear for almost four years
The billionaires heirs Ashley... Staring back at the couple who were standing on the beach, looking at each other lovingly with the black sky above them as the stars shine brightly on them as if they were watching the two from a distance, It was their first-year wedding anniversary and they decided to spend it together without their family and friends.Adrian and Ashley Black.Today, a year ago, they said their vows in front of their loved ones.Adrian swept her hair over, allowing the cool night air to brush her exposed shoulders, then placed a necklace on her. "Happy anniversary, love," he whispered as he kissed her after clipping the necklace around her neck.She looked down at the diamond necklace that was glittering in the night, twinkling along with the stars. She had a smile on her face and thought there was a time she refused to take expensive gifts from him when they first started dating. She would always curse him for spending too much money on her, saying she only needed
The billionaires heirs Ashley... I feel someone shaking me lightly. "Wake up, Ash. You have been sleeping the entire day without eating." "I'm not hungry, Sandra," I croaked out, trying to pull the covers over my body again."You need to eat something, Ash. Remember, you are carrying a little one inside of you who needs food and besides, once you have taken a shower and eaten something, I'm sure you will feel much better.""Are you saying I stink?" I gasp."No, but I'm sure once you have freshened up, you will feel much better." I looked up at her and realized she was right. I need to get myself straightened out. I can't go on like this. It's been two days since I encountered Adrian."Alright, I will be right down. Give me a few minutes," I finally say as I get up.Sandra walked out of the room and I quickly went to take a shower. Sandra was right; I feel much better after cleaning myself. I went down to eat some food.When my phone rang,"Good afternoon. Is this Mrs. Black speaking
The billionaires heirs Ashley... Five months later... I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off. I let out a groan, knowing it was time to get ready for work. I wish I could lay here the whole day but sadly, I need to work to support myself and my child. I slowly got up from the bed and made my way to the bathroom. I turned the shower on and got in as I thought about the past five months. I got a job as a waitress at a small coffee shop, and luckily the owners are two very sweet old people. I do enjoy working there but sometimes I wish I could do something else. Don't get me wrong, the salary is perfect but my feet are killing me at the end of the day, especially now since they swell a lot. Jason came back a month after my divorce and he was livid when he found out what Adrian had said about us having an affair and the fact that he picked Tonya's side over me. He helped me find an apartment, which the two of us now share, saying I don't need to be alone to face the pregnancy a
The billionaires heirs Adrian... I have a headache from lack of sleep and working too much. I guess it's the only way for me to stay sane after what she did to me and to us. I don't want to go home early, seeing that most of my memories there are with her. I spend as much time as possible here at the office or at the apartment I got for Tonya. I still can't believe she did that to her sister! What kind of sick person would do something like that to their own blood? I was pissed off when Tonya and my sister came to me and told me what had happened. "Adrian, my man!" I hear my best friend, Harry. I lift my head and look at him. "What are you doing here?" I asked, a bit annoyed; I thought he was on a business trip in Europe. "You wound me, Ads," he says, putting a hand on his heart. I roll my eyes at him and ask, "What are you doing here?" I asked, ignoring his childish behavior. "Wow, a nice way to greet your best pal after not seeing him for a month, and besides, I always come a

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
I chuckled, settling into a seat across from Bella. "She looks like Snow," she laughed, continuing to pet the kitten. "I can play better with you," I teased, giving her a playful wink. "And I have no say in whether we keep this cat?" I asked, running my fingers through my hair. "Ace, just look at th
"Hello Ace, care for one?" Smith greeted, raising his cigarette. I narrowed my eyes at him and approached, taking a seat in one of the two leather chairs facing his desk. Ignoring his offer, I retrieved a cigarette from my suit jacket pocket and lit it with my lighter, placing it between my lips.I
Ace…Bella's voice broke the silence, asking, "What are you doing?" I continued to focus on the sizzling bacon in the pan and the savory aroma filling the kitchen. "Please, have a seat," I replied, reaching for two plates to serve creamy scrambled eggs and toast. I set one plate in front of Bella, w
Halfway through, fatigue washed over me, and I rested my head on his chest. My heartbeat began to synchronize with his. "Were you upset?" I murmured. "About what?" he asked softly, his breath gently stirring my hair. "The doctor didn’t reveal the baby's gender because I had a word with him." I smile
After tidying myself up, Ace stepped out of the room. I turned to the doctor and said, "If he offers you money to find out, I'll pay you double. If he threatens you, I'll make sure you regret it. Understood?" I smiled, feeling a rush of satisfaction. He nodded, his expression a mix of confusion and
