2024-10-29 19:42:56”Well?” Ashton asked as he took a sip from his glass of water.
”I don’t believe that anything makes me stand out from them, I do however believe that I can do a better job.” I answered honestly. I heard the other girls gasp and I felt their eyes trying to burn holes on the side of my face.
”And how is that?” He asked me.
I was getting really sick of his attempts to embarrass me.
”Because I don't want to fuck you, I am here to do a job and obviously the others have something else in mind.” I stated.
”What the hell is your problem?!” Jasmine shrieked.
”I don’t have one,” I said, trying to remain calm.
”That was rude Elena!” The others chimed in and gave me nasty looks.
”Might have been, but honestly none the less,”
”Anything else Mr.Carlson?” I said.
”Yes,” He said as he stood up and walked towards me.
”Stand,”
I did as he asked and stood up. Ashton towered over me as he always has and our eyes locked in a long awkward gaze. A challenge of dominance, to see who would avert their eyes first.
I swallowed hard and bit my tongue so to not be intimidated, I would not look away.
Something in Ashton's eyes flickered over and they turned dark, his jaw clicked and I could see the vein in his forehead starting to throb. He was getting mad. I folded and looked away.
I could see from the side of my eye how a smirk crept up on his face and I internally sighed in annoyance.
”Jasmine would you please come,” He said and looked at Jasmine. She scurried over and the envy in the other girls' eyes was not missed.
”How do you feel regarding Ms. Shaws' answer?” He asked her.
”I Belize that she is thoroughly mistaken. Of course, your attractive but I would never let that get in the way of my work,” She purred as she brushed her hand over his arm in a flirtatious manner.
I felt my body stiffen and my jaw tense, and I lost all control.
”How about you say those words again without touching the boss? Or maybe that’s too hard, having to speak in the presence of the man you want to fuck?”
”Ms. Shaw,” Ashton warned.
”I-” I cut her off before she could speak.
”That’s what it is, isn't it? You need him close to you, you need his touch and if you get the internship then your chances of getting into bed with him are larger. You’ll be near him often and be able to persuade him. You’ll miss an assignment or an event in the hopes that he’ll help you, assist you.” Good gracious Elena, you've officially lost any and all self-respect.
Well, there's no turning back now.
”No I-”
”Or perhaps that’s not enough…no you want more. What? Marriage? To the rich CEO, that’s it isn't it?” Jasmine was on the verge of tears and Ashton practically had smoke coming out of his ears.
”ELENA ENOUGH!” He shouted. Using my first name, making me silent.
”You bitch!” Jasmine yelled as she threw her glass of water at me.
It nearly full meaning all content of her glass was poured over my white blouse. Leaving it completely and utterly, see-through.
I looked down in shock and then up at Jasmine who had her and over her mouth.
Ashton's eyes were fixated on the glass that Jasmine was holding and I just wanted to crawl back into my bed and stay there.
”Holy…” Pazzi began. My head jerked up and when I saw where Pazzi was staring, I quickly covered myself up with my hands.
Ashtons slowly turned to face his friend. As soon as Pazzi saw Ashton's face, he gulped and his eyes met the floor.
”Get.Out.” Ashton warned. Pazzi quickly left the room without lifting his gaze.
I was so embarrassed, I wanted to run. And I did, or I tried. I turned around but Ashton was quick to grab my arm. He held me in place and I felt his pulse against my wrist. His heart was beating fast.
”Everybody, out.” He said slowly and quietly. Nobody hesitated but quickly left the office.
When the last person was gone I breathed out. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep the tears from falling.
”Ashton please,” I begged. Hoping he would let me go, let me leave.
With one swift motion, he had me turned around and facing him. My eyes were glued to the floor and my free arm was covering my chest.
Ashton pulled at my arm, forcing it down, revealing myself.
”This all used to be mine once,” He whispered. He put the fingers under my chin and tilted it up.
”There’s no need for you to hide it from me,” He said. His face and his voice were so smooth, so soft.
It reminded me of before.
”I don’t however like knowing anybody else seeing it,” He said. His voice was hardening again and I know he was referring to Pazzi staring so very unsmoothly at me earlier.
”Ashton,”
”Don’t. I’ll get you some clothes.” And just like that, the old Ashton was gone and was replaced by the cold, tough shell of a man.

The interviews were over and we were waiting outside of the office.
I was furious, my blood was boiling and I desperately wanted to punch something, or perhaps rather someone.
Both Jasmine for what she did but also Ashton for all the embarkment he’s putting me through.
He lent me a hoodie that I was currently wearing.
”All girls were called in one by one, and all had left crying. Jasmine was in there now.
I didn't know what I hoped for. Did I really want this internship? Give Ashton the opportunity to embarrass me further, to claim his revenge?
But I wasn't doing this for me. That was the thing. I was doing this for them. For my parents.
The door opened up and a very happy Jasmine came skipping out. She shook hands with Anna before giving me a small smile and leaving for the elevators.
I nodded my head and stood up, ready to leave.
”Wait, Ms.Shaw!” Anna called. I turned around.
”Yes?”
”Mr.Carlson wants to see you," She exclaimed.
I looked at her in confusion.
”But I assumed that Jasmine got the job?” I said, gesturing with my hand to where Jasmine had just left.
”Mr.Carlson wants to see you,” Was all she said. Apparently, if Mr.Carlson wants to see you, you see him. I rolled my eyes and gave her a smile before passing her.
”You wanted to see me,” I said, trying to not sound too bored.
In all honesty, I was kind of relieved to not have gotten the job.
”Yes, I have a position for you,” He said. His eyes held mischief and his lips were tugging in a smile. My stomach turned upside down and the blood drained from my face. There I have my answer, I do not want to work here with him.
”I’m sorry Mr.Carlson, I thought Jasmine got the internship,” I said.
”Yes she did. The internship was never yours, you never had a chance,”
I felt my face drop and my knees buckle beneath me.
”Excuse me?” I said in a gasp.
Ashton stood and walked towards me once again. This time in front of everyone, his arm slinked around my waist and he tugged me towards him. I was on the verge of tears, fainting and collapsing right here and now, and his touch was only making things worse.
”I said, you never stood a chance. Do you really think I would give such a free portion to the woman who broke my heart? To the woman who rightfully belongs to me,”
”Ash-” I tried cutting him of put his hand dug into the small of my back, making me whimper.
”You’re going to work for me, as my personal assistant,”

My eyes were wide open, my mouth hung a little bit and my heart stopped for a second.His personal assistant. He wants me, his ex, the girl who broke his heart, to work for him as his personal assistant.This can't be happening, I cannot allow for this to happen.”No,” I whispered. My voice breaking as the word fought its way out. I sounded so weak. I felt as weak.Ashton leaned forward. I shut my eyes closed and fought back the tears.”You don't have a choice sweetheart,” He whispered.I opened my eyes and stared at him bewildered. The sight was groggy from the tears that were building up. I tried pushing him away, I pounded at his chest but he didn't buckle. He didn't move an

I turned around and saw Pazzi looking at me with remorse in his eyes. His head was tilted down and his arms hung by his sides.He opened his mouth to say something but shut it closed again. ”Mr.Grayson, with all due respect, I don't believe that it’s a good idea.””The decision has already been made, you will take the position as Mr. Carlson's assistant or you don't need to return to school.” He said and then hung up.I turned to Pazzi and saw black.”What the fuck has he done?” I asked Pazzi, seething through my teeth.

I looked at the clock hanging on the wall in my office. It was 15:30 and I was tired as hell.Anna had gone through everything that I needed to do, everything I needed to check and everything that was expected of me. Which was a lot.I skipped lunch because of what I and Ashton talked about earlier. He may be a dick, but he’s a dick that sticks to his word. I couldn't risk anybody talking to me today.My stomach was growling at me. Begging me for food.I released a breath of air and gathered my things before leaving my office.”Hey, did everything go alright?” Pazzi said coming up behind me.”Yeah I guess, there's a lot to do and remember but I'llmanage.” I said giving hi

I was answering a few emails and booking meetings for Ashton. I couldn't believe how many people wanted to meet him. Why in the world?I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock. It was 12:30, almost time for lunch.I finished up the last few emails and closed the computer before heading out. I saw Pazzi over by Ashton's office, I was about to go up to him when I saw Ashton and Jasmine walking out.I froze.Jasmine was wearing a short skirt and a blouse, she was holding onto Ashton's arm and batting her eyes at him.They walked towards me and I turned around, ready to walk back into my office before they saw me.”Ms. Shaw,” Jasmine's high pitched voice rang and I rolled my eyes. Here we go.

”What just happened?” I said to myself as I sat in my office by my desk with my face in my hands.Ashton had just fingered me. In the building restaurant.I told him that I hadn't slept with anyone except for him, which was true but I shouldn't have told him that.He saw me talking to Jason, was that it? Was that why he was mad?Or was it because I was late? He is quite serious about work so maybe it was the tardiness.Regardless of the reason, it cannot happen again. It can never ever happen again.What if they find out…A knock on my office door broke me from my thoughts and I called for whoever it was to come in.Pazz

Today was Saturday, meaning I had no work to get to, no boss to see and nothing planned for the entire day.I woke up and went to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast and coffee.Whenever I work I normally just buy a bagel for breakfast, but now that I have the day off, I pamper myself a little bit.I made blueberry pancakes and carved a mango putting everything on a plate. I whipped some milk and poured it over my coffee along with caramel syrup and put everything on a tray.I walked over to the tv and placed the tray on the table before switching to a channel I felt like watching. After nine minutes of not finding anything, I clicked on Netflix and pressed on F.R.I.E.N.D.S. A show that always worked when nothing else did.

When I woke up I felt like I had slept for a week straight. I was so rested and happy for the first time in a long time.I looked at the clock and panic settled in me as I saw the time 18:13. I had slept for over three hours, it was only supposed to be a nap.I flew off the bed and headed for the shower. When I was down I dried my hair as fast as I could while I applied my makeup. I swear to god if I end up looking like a clown I'll cry.I opened my closet and dug through my things trying to find something appropriate.I had a lot of party dresses and a lot of professional clothing.But I was just Ashtons assistant, I probably wouldn't get that much attention anyway. I opted for a white mid-length tight dres

We ran out into the restaurant and saw Ashton standing over Preston throwing blow after blow to his head.Blood was spurting everywhere and if Ashton continued, he'd kill him.Everyone was standing around with wide eyes witnessing the horrific scene, but I didn't feel bad for him. I wanted him dead but I didn't want Ashton to be the one to do it.”Ashton!” Jasmine yelled trying to get him to stop.I walked slowly up to him and put my hand on his shoulder.Ashton stopped and turned around. His eyes were black and his whole posture was predatory-like.”Let’s go, Ash,” I said. He looked down on Preston who was barely breathing.

~Ashton~Elena had been quiet ever since she came back from her doctors appointment.She had barley said two words and it was making me eery, thinking that something was wrong and she wasn't telling me.She was poking her fork in her past, not eating. My patience was running thin, I had let her be for the entire day thinking she would tell me eventually.”Talk.” I demanded and glared at her form the opposite side of the table.Whatever it was I couldn't help her unless I knew the problem. If someone had been mean to her, I'd kill them. If someone had hurt her, well, I'd kill them. If anything was medically wrong, I'd kill the doctor for telling me.Elena looked up in a haze and shook her head with a forced smile.

Lisa had some hidden talents. She wired the car so that it started and I looked at her in confusion.”The man my mom was married too would always have me help him steal cars. I was underaged then so I couldn't get any real punishment,””No, don't look at me like that. Came in handy didn't it?” She said and glanced at the car.I smiled softly and nodded my head. Taking a deep breath I got in behind the wheel and closed the door. I looked over to the passenger seat and saw Lisa stepping in.”Oh no, you’re not coming,” she scoffed and fastened her seatbelt.”Just drive,””Lisa,” I warned.”Elena, you’re my bestfriend. My only friend. If you think I'm letting you go to that psychotic bitch on your own, not knowing wha

I woke up, for the first time in a long time, feeling rested and happy. I woke up to the feeling of wanting to open my eyes and start the day. Something I hadn't felt in a very long time.I rolled over and patted the side where Ashton had fallen aslepp beside me. Only to find it empty.My eyes darted open and I sat up quickly, looking aorund. Hoping it hadn't all been a dream.I was in the room, in the cabin. That much was true.But where was Ashton?I got up form the bed and strolled over to the closet. My robe hung on the hook beside it and I wrapped it around me.I walked over to the door but just as I was about lay my hand on the handle, someone else opened it.

Clint had brought me and Lisa to a house in the middle of nowhere. Something told me that I should've had better second guessingtechniques regarding people after what happened with Thomas.But now we where here and there was no time to second guess anything”This is so cute!” Lisa shrieked as she ran out of the car.At least I had her with me to lighten the mood.I couldn't but agree with her, this house was adorable in a fairytale way. It was a wooden house with a small tower-looking part in the middle. There were four windows and a porch.Outside was a big patch of land, with chairs set up around a camp fire pit.It felt like home in a way.It had a homey feeling that I had missed immensely.&

We were sitting in the living room. Me and Lisa on one couch and Clint on the other. He still hadn't spoken and the silence grew heavier as the moments passed. He was watching me, searching my face, his eyes held many unspoken questions that I wanted to hear.I had heard his surname before, I was sure of it. But no matter how hard I tried remembering from where, I had nothing. I couldn't put my finger on it. And now here he was, in our living room.He must know Ashton pretty well considering they were seen outside together, but in my time with Ashton, I hadn't seen Clint.Lisa stirred beside me, unable to meet clits gaze. She looked really unconfortable and held her coffee cup close to her chest.”To what do we owe

I walked out onto the serving floor again after what had just happened. People were eating, drinking, talking as if a man wasn't nearly killed in the back. Of course, they didn't know but I did.Ashton was back at the table, probably getting a scolding from Katia. But his eyes were glued me the rest of the evening.I could feel his stare burn into my from every angle, wherever I was.I was going to pay for this, I could sense it.Katia was laughing, talking to Clint, but she seemed eery about something. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat and I wondered what it was that had her so squeamish. I knew that if she said the wrong thing, Ashton would explode. He doesn't take crap from anyone, especially when it came to me.The dilemma however, was that he was doing everything he was doing in order to save me, to pro

I had delivered orders to another four tables and was on my way to the bar to collect their drinks. It was unfathomable how much these rich people drank on a Monday. It wasn't even three a clock yet and they were already calling for refills.Another thing I couldn't fathom, was the lozzy tips we got. They were loaded yet three out of four people tipped less than 5%.Making a decent income in this line of work was not easy, but what other choice did I have?”Excuse me Ms, am I going to have to wait all day?” A business man sitting with either his wife or his msittress and another couple, shouted from across the room.I clenched my jaw and through my hand up waving appologetically while forcing a smile on.I had grabbed his martini and two glasses of wine and was making may way to their table.

I had told her everything.Evry. Damn. Thing.Things and happenings that I thought I would bring to the grave. Lisa was crying, holding her knees to her chest and hadn't spoken a word in thirty minutes. Ever since I started telling her, she had been silent, but now, it was starting to freaking me out.I was broken, I should've known a person wouldn't want to be with me through all of this.I can't ask her too either.I can't be so selfish as to ask her to stay with me through my rollercoasting life through hell.Lisa jumped up from the couch and launched herself at me, engulfing me in a big, tight hug.She barried her face in the crook of my neck and continued crying.
