At the end of the evening we came down and Ashton went off to pay the bill, I stood there in the lobby waiting for him when someone called my attention.
I turned around only to see that it was the girl who was our waitress tonight, she gave me a shy look before passing an envelope to me. I was confused, I thought we were the ones who were supposed to leave her a tip and not the other way around.
Seeing as the girl felt uncomfortable with every passing second, I took the envelope from her hand and immediately she scurried away.
I watched as she disappeared through a staff door in the corner by the elevator, but before I could see what was in that envelope, Ashton walked up to me with a smile.
"Shall we?" He asked.
I put the envelope into my purse before taking Ashton's arm as he leads me out of the hotel. When we got outside, there were sleek black Mercedes parked right in front of us.
Ashton went ahead to open the door f
*"No, don't tell me.""Adira! Open the door or the movie's going to start without us!"Ashton was right outside the door to my apartment and was shouting something about a movie or something? What in the world was he talking about?"Adira! Adira? Adira!!!" He kept shouting and knocking at the same time. Just how unrefined was this man.Out of embarrassment for both him and myself, I opened the door and pulled him in, so he would stop making such a scene."What the hell were you doing out there, do you know you could be arrested?" I said in a just voice for some unknown reason."Why, I was only trying to get to my best friend? Haters." He said softly."Well, for the most of it I'm glad you're doing good this morning." He said as he slipped beside me and made his way into the living room.
*About less than an hour later the movie began, had I known I would be dragged out in the middle of the day to watch a spider man movie, I would have relaxed in the comfort of my hotel room with cheaper snacks and all the room to control my movie and freely as possible.More than two hours later, the most time I've spent in front of the screen since my breakdown last week but it was a nice movie, I wasn't such a big fan of superhero movies but most of the time I did it for the kids.The movie finally ended and we followed everyone out the hall, the only difference was Ashton was almost in tears, I guess he was very emotional since this wasn't his first outburst. Anyways, sitting for two hours or more drowning a whole litre of Pepsi wouldn't do anyone any good and I had to go pee."I need to go to the ladies' room. I'll wait for me at the exit." I said to Ashton between people pushing between us.I could see that Ashton was struggling t
*I managed to lead a sleeping Ashton to the empty parking lot, which made it easier to locate the car we came in. After a few pulls and tugs, I was finally able to get Ashton to the car.I knocked on the window, which rolled down and out again with more opera songs."Aah, I see you've found the young master. But you indeed took your precious time, might I say." Peter said stepping out of the car. He first went to the other side opening the door, confused, I looked at him and he gestured that I get in.I did as I was told and got into the car, as soon as my door was closed, he went over to help Ashton. He opened the door and led Ashton in, telling him to lay properly as he laid on my thighs."H-Hey! www-what are you doing?" I said panicking. But Peter just made a hushed sigh with his hand and pointed at Ashton who was cuddled nicely on my thighs, I looked down and I could help myself but smile, he was cute.Distracted, Peter went back
*I watched the car till it drove out of sight, today was pretty rough and all I could think about right now was a hot bath to relax my body. I walked in returning the greeting of the hotel staff till I got to the elevator.I got to my apartment and unlocked the door, the first thing I noticed was the lights on. With caution, I placed both my purse and jacked in the closet, in my mind I really hoped it was just Phillip or Stacy."You're home late." I heard a voice from the couch and almost jump kicked the person."Hey! hey!! calm down, it's just me. Jeez!" Jonathan said ducking for his life."I see you're home," I heard Phillip say from the kitchen."You should have told me you were coming over. I almost killed Jimmy." I said playfully but all the more serious."It's Johnny as in Jonathan, not Jimmy." Jonathan said."Whatever Jimmy." I said teasing the young boy."Where were you off to today? We ca
*I woke at the same time a tear escaped my eye, it was bright, everywhere was calm and life was moving as it always did. I sat up to find that I was the only one in my bed, Stacy and Mandy probably got up really early."Live..." A word popped into my mind, I guess Charlie's final words to me in this world. "Charlie." I said to no one.I have decided to live. Not just for myself but everyone around me, it wouldn't hurt to give the world another chance now, would it?I decided it's been a while since I worked out or hit the gym since the tournament, if I keep this up even Jonathan would have the upper hand on me.I got changed and went to the gym upstairs before the guys woke up if they hadn't left yet. Since it was a Sunday morning, I didn't expect a lot of people to be at the gym, most people decided to rest on days like this.It definitely had been a while since I got to sweat this much and it honestly felt so go, it was great because I now had an excuse to spend an eternity in the
*AshtonFor as long as I could remember my days were filled with tutors and doctors everywhere. My new mother and father had told me that I wasn't like other kids so I couldn't go to school.The only time I was allowed to leave the house was to go to the hospital, a family or business event we were invited to, so life was pretty much the same for me every day. But it didn't really matter because I was doing all this for my parents.They took me in when nobody wanted to, people called me broken but Mom and Dad said they'd love me the same, broken or not. So I did all I could to make them proud of me.At times when I got hit, I knew it was because they loved me enough to correct me, they wouldn't correct someone they don't love right?What usually went through my head most times was the urge to make both my parents proud and it was of utmost importance. Then I heard Mom was having a baby, the baby she'd always wanted, the baby she stayed up late nights and cry for, she was finally havi
*Ashton Cont."Juliet?" I fell to my knees calling out to her."You shouldn't be worried about a bitch like her, she deserved what she got for staining my clothes. These were custom made in Italy. She couldn't even pay for it with her life." The drunken man had said.What happened next was a blur, my hands were bloody but that was not my main concern, I rushed Juliet to the hospital and asked the doctors to help her immediately. I remembered screaming that she needed the best treatment and that money was not a problem.Immediately the doctor looked at her, he had this skeptical look on her face, she looked at me and nodded before giving instructions to get a surgery theatre ready. I watched the woman I claimed I love so much lie there, helpless, I knew she was sick, I could have just told her not to work, I could have escorted her back to my room, I could have sent someone to take her place, but I didn't. If she died, I was responsible for her death because I wasn't able to protect m
*Adira"Peter?""Yeah Peter, he's Ashton's butler or chauffeur or maybe he's guardian, I don't really know their relationship but he's always around Ashton like he's dad or something like that." I explained."Well, I don't see what a young man of his age needs a butler for but it's their business." Phillip said."For starters... You're here." I started tapping away at my phone."Very clever Adira, very clever. By the way, I did want to ask, what are your plans for departure? Weren't you thinking about leaving yesterday?" Phillip asked and I remembered I had discussed leaving immediately after seeing my parents."Oh, mm... Yeah, I'll get back to you on that. You see, I wasn't really able to get any rest as I was supposed to, so I thought, why not extend it a little, nothing major's happening at home anyways." I answered Phillip a bit shaky."You don't need to worry yourself miss, whatever decision you make, I'm on your side, I work for you after all." Phillip said patting my head and w

*Warning: Mature content ahead...After the two had cried their eyes out they cuddled up close to each other with intertwined hands, Adira's head on Ashton's shoulder and the atmosphere serene, nicely folded in a vulnerable blanket... Ashton kept rubbing back on Adira's hair as they enjoyed the silence making Adira feel at peace for the first time in a while, so she began to wonder."Ashton?""Hmm?""Did you see what I did to that man in the alley?" Ashton's hand stopped midway for a second and Adira almost regretted asking when he replied."Yes, yes I did. For the end part though." Ashton answered brushing Adira's long thick black hair down her back."You hesitated." Adira chuckled lightly but sad, "but then, why are you still here?" Ashton thought about it, it wasn't like he didn't know who she was, he just didn't get a glimpse of her past. He wanted to know the present Adira and that was all the reason enough.When Adira felt Ashton's hesitation again, it crushed her but she didn
*"Mister?"Ashton turned his head to look for the little voice which had called out to him before he felt a little tug on his trousers.He looked down between his legs to find a familiar little girl standing in front of him,"Lily?" The little girl's eyes grew in amazement and wonder at hearing her name from the young man. "You know my name?" The little girl asked excitedly.Ashton smiled and sat up to listen to the little girl properly with a smile, the girl raised her arms as if wanting to be carried, confused Ashton did just that hoping she wouldn't cry."Now what does this sweet little girl want from this old man?" "You're not old, you're Adira's friend." Ashton smiled."I'm glad you think of me that way." "Thank you for taking care of Adira and for coming back," Lily said."Coming back?" Ashton asked confused and Lily nodded like he would understand what she meant."Could you explain that for me, please Lily?" She nodded and tapped his arm twice to come down when she was in fr
*Adira assigned a room to Peter while Ashton recovered in their infirmary, he would be staying as long as Ashton was and it would be nice for Phillip to have someone to talk to even if they practically hated each other.It's already been a week since they arrived and now, Adira had to explain to the rest of the house why they had men living in the manor.But before that, Adira needed to finally face Tina. She was caught the same day Hugo was put out if service, a fake location was leaked about Hugo's whereabout and that was how they caught Tina.She's been in their custody since then.After Adira's talk with Peter she decided it was time to let a mother go take care of her son, as much as she despised the family, she would not be the monster they wanted her to be.During the rebuild of the manor, Adira added a few changes to make things a little more interesting. Above were the lives of every member of the house and below h
*Since returning to the manor, Adira had not been able to return home, although her nightmares were less frequent now it still felt strange sleeping within the Wong mansion.It wasn't a problem when she slept with Stephanie in her room and right now she had no idea who she was sleeping with but it feels like she's drained every atom of exhaustion from her body.She felt a strong arm around her as she blinked her eyes open, she couldn't remember the last time she felt comfortable in a man's embrace, she stared up at his face, he was also asleep.From where she was, should see how long his eye lashes were, how pink his lips were and hoped for them on hers. For once in her life, she felt complete again. Who knows what would have happened of Ashton hadn't shown up, she got her revenge, what next? But Ashton was here now, she would take some time off for herself and of course to take care of him, since obviously she shot him so it was
*A month later and Hugo is still nowhere to be found, the tracking team was always on his tale but for some strange reason he always evaded them like he knew they were after him.That night, before Adira could confront him Hugo split the scene. According to Melody, some unknown woman might have tipped him off on what was going on.Thankfully, Melody had already planted the mini microbot in his drink thus them being able to track him down. But alas, nothing lasts forever, it was only a matter of time before those bots were ingested and the signal lost.Aside from all that, the girls were successful, they managed to take over another gang and subdue it's men and thankfully, all 25 of them made it back no casualties recorded.Adira sat in her office waiting for some good news, by now the manor was filled with less people as the older kids had gone back to their daily lives. Stephanie was there for her during these times but it seemed as if Tina was becoming mo
*Hugo was on the ground in an ally, surround by three women holding guns at his head. It was quiet, the only sound he could hear were the sound of his own heart beating and the sound of heels against the concrete.Finally, Adira stood in front of him, it was as if everything she did, added up to this very moment. After chasing him down for almost a whole year, here he was in front of her, helpless and weak."Adi- Adira, no.. you don't want to do this. Th- this isn't you, please." Hugo pleaded.Adira stood in front of his watching him intensely, the very definition of if looks could kill. Seeing him this close in front of her made her want to throw up, all she had sacrificed for him, every moment they spent, a lie.Adira drew her gun in front of Hugo, he squealed shifting back but the girls behind him wouldn't let him move an inch. "My dear Hugo, on this day 13 years ago, you dug out my heart and fed it to my and today here
*The night was still, one side loud with cheers and music and another as dead quiet as a grave site. Team Beta made their way into the camp as steely as possible.Their job was as simple, secure the perimeter as much as possible and squeeze out the leader in the mist of the excitement. Half of team Beta secured the hall the party was still hot.The second team took out every other member of the gang they could find, as they slowly surrounded the perimeter."Team Beta is in position send in the demolition team. The coast is clear, I repeat, the coast is clear." Adira's team arrives but the mission is already compromised when the men figure out that half their security is no where to be found.A fight breaks out of no where. It was early but the ladies had anticipated this much with Phillip and attacked. Adira took down every man as they pushed closer, the men came with their gun but Adira was just as ready.Adira got to the bunker the alpha team was
*"Team alpha has successfully entered into enemy base, initiating phase two, operation distraction." *Before the girls were lead in the man had to inform one of their superiors so it wouldn't complicate matters afterwards.It wasn't easy convincing him but after a thorough inspection of the ladies bodies, to be sure they weren't spies or members of the black rose and a promise to perform for the men as well as personal service."This way please, we'll provide you with whatever you need, and you promise us a performance after." Rob said clearing his throat."I can't wait to see what kinds of talents you girls have. I'm hope you don't disappoint me, I have disappointment." Michael said with a hint of danger in his voice."You've put a roof over our heads, this is the least we could do. And I'm a hundred and one percent sure you won't be disappointed." Her words were as smooth as a deadly snake, make his word seem like a worthless cry for help.Michael withdrew sensing the danger but
