Hello Readers this chapter is a little bit long so please just bear with me. Also I'll need your votes, gems and reviews so this story can have a good rating, thank you...
ASHLEY… "It's okay stop crying, if you keep crying it won't be good for your health and it will affect the baby" Kylian said stretching forth his arms and guiding my head to his shoulder then he sat me down on the sofa. "Thank you for believing in me. I have only loved you, I promise I haven't looked at any other man" I managed to say despite my excess hiccuping "Your throat must be parched, do you need a glass of water?" he asked "Yeah please can you get it for me" "No problem just sit right here and don't move okay I'll get a glass of water for you" he scurried to the kitchen while I sat down on the sofa fidgeting my fingers. My happiness knew no bounds when he spoke to me lovingly, at least I am convinced he loves me and he will choose me over Charmaine. Few minutes later he walked over to me and handed over the glass of water while smiling at me. "Thank you but the water doesn't look clean. You know I'm pregnant and I can't just drink anything, it may be harmful for my baby"
DANTE… "I warned you not to mess with me and you should think through everything that has happened so far in your life before you act or speak but yet again you chose not to pay heed to my advice, now just take a look at where your stuborness has landed you in" I growled in disgust, stepping towards the direction of the man whose left eye was badly damaged. He was hung up, with his two hands above his head and tied to the nail while his legs were dangling on the hot water inside the drum which was placed before him. His eyes widened as he stared at me in utter disbelief, shaking his head frantically and a solemn tear fell down his cheek. His body looked calmer, compared to how he was earlier. "Do you want to say something?" I squealed and he nodded then I pulled the gag out of his mouth "Wa..water..I need water" he replied softly "You need water? hold on a minute I'll get it for you. How can they tie you up without water, that's so cruel" my eyes peered around the basement and I
ASHLEY… "Has the cat caught your tongue? I need an answer from you, now isn't the time to keep mute. Do you love me?" I asked him, raising my eyebrow in anxiousness. For some reason I wanted him to tell me what my ears ached to hear so badly, I wanted him to tell me that he has fallen in love with me. This feeling burning in within my heart, I can't make sense of it but why do I feel it's love? I'm I really in love with him?. I felt this when Kylian made me fall deeply in love with him and at the end of everything I lost him to another woman. If I decide to accept this feeling of love will Dante also leave me for another woman? was I do unlucky when it comes to love and finding happiness?. "Love? my opinion about love would never change" he said, his face softening into a smirk. He stepped forward and before I could blink, in one motion he straddled me and pinned my arms above my head, the heat of his body pressed against mine and I tried to shove him off but then he snatched me an
ASHLEY… "I still haven't changed my mind about wanting to leave your mansion" I said in a low voice, pursing my lips in determination and concentration "Didn't I say you aren't going anywhere so quit the topic and I'm not in the mood to talk to you neither do I have all the time to keep wasting on you, I have a pending heavy workload to attend to" Dante gave me a warning glare, his voice erupting like a thundering volcano and I wondered if this was the same man who was consumed with pleasure and who wouldn't stop pumping his fingers inside of me not untill I released my juices into his fingers and he licked them up like his favourite lollipop just a while ago. "You should use that tone on people who are scared of you and not me. I have made up my mind and besides what will I do here in this mansion? do you expect me to talk to the servants? It will be best if you let me go so I can continue my job as a stripper" "That will only happen if I let you get your job back" he said in a l
ASHLEY… "Yes boss" I strained my words, faking a smile at him despite brimming with hostility and rage throbbing in me like a heartbeat. Opening the other end of the car door and sliding onto the backseat with him and I smirked angrily, placing the huge load of files between us that I was barely able to carry without having to place my two hands under it and creating a barrier which he seemed unnoticed by what was happening. The entire ride to the company was a silent one, I shifted closer to the window unwinding it to take a good peek at the ray of the morning sun but he whined it back. Glancing up at him with resentment clouding my thoughts I tried to breathe in deeply so I could avoid reacting but that wasn't helping matters. "What the hell is wrong with you!?" I said through my teeth and closed my eyes then I opened them glaring up at the man who wasn't reacting to my words "I'm talking to you, why do you have a problem with me taking a peek at the morning sun? do you also want
DANTE… "Suprised to see me?" I smirked "No..I mean yeah I'm suprised, who wouldn't be surprised? you are coming to the office after so long and you didn't even inform me" Adrian said, my eyes narrowing at him and I laughed softly "Eight fucking months isn't that long and I'm glad I didn't inform you otherwise I wouldn't know that my company has become a play ground where employees of this office come to listen to stories or should I use the word gossip instead" "What!? I wasn't aware of all this, infact I just came now" Adrian remarked and I raised a finger up, indicating him to shut his mouth and I couldn't help but notice his eyes that burned with rage "I'm seeing some new faces for the first time and despite me being here you all still have the guts to whisper amongst your selves" I said with a scowl residing in my face, placing my foot on the floor and pushing the chair backwards I shoved my hands into my pocket turning round Adrian in circles "Let me introduce myself to you
ASHLEY… "What is my next schedule?" Dante questioned with his eyes glued and swiping on his phone as we walked out of the conference room into the elevator "You have a meeting by 4pm with investor Ryan, you just need his signatures on the papers so the deal can be sealed" I replied "Okay it's 3pm right now and since we are both business men we work with time so you'll be the one to sign the deal" "What!? I'm not an investor" I said, my voice coming out in a yell and his eyes flew up at me, his face splitted into a grin "What the heck is wrong with you? don't you even understand simple english? I want to know what you were doing in college because it seems you didn't learn anything, did you even graduate?" he taunted, raising his eyebrow at me in mockery and my gaze met his in surprise and disbelief. I was glad I realized early on what he was trying to achieve by pushing my buttons, his ways are so cheap that he'll go to any extent to get a reaction from me "I went to college and
ASHLEY… "Just think about my offer, we can always become intimate friends but it seems you don't like it that way so I'll make sure you don't feel used, name your price! and for Dante you don't need to worry about him because whatever happens here will stay here" Ryan said, walking towards me in quick strides and in a blink I was pinned ontop of his warm body, his arms locked around mine. I brought my lips to his ear and rasped softly. "I'll prefer to be dipped in waste products before I let a misogynist pig like you lay a hand on me" "Watch your tone woman or else I'll make you suffer the consequences for your actions" "Don't you dare try to threaten me because it won't work, you may have tried your shameless antics on other women but Ashley Mateo is different" I fumed, pushing him away from me and my eyes blazing with fury "This is an insult to me and your actions will make Dante Garvino lose a deal worth billions neither can I even begin to imagine what he'll do to you" "Worry
