2024-10-29 19:42:56My 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 inch.
”This wasn't supposed to go this way,” I whispered as I gave up on trying to free myself.
”A lot of things weren't supposed to go the way they did,” He said. Hatred laced in his voice.
I felt his grip loosening and took the opportunity to push his arm away and run out.
I ran until my legs couldn't carry me. I fell to the ground and pushed my body back towards a wall.
I was in an alley, it was completely empty, and that’s when I broke. All the tears that I had suppressed for so long the screams and the agony that built up inside of me for years, came pouring out. As I sat there the sky started turning grey, the clouds were thickening and darkness soon took over the blue sky. On cue, the sky opened up and the rain poured down.
I didn’t care. I didn't care that I was getting wet, that I could get sick. I didn't care about the job or the internship. I didn't care about my future. I only did it for them, so that they could look down on me and be proud. So that they could see their daughter living their dream.
I felt my clothes getting soaking wet and my hair falling in front of my face. My screams of agony were starting to die down as the rain hit me with all its might. My tears were replaced with the droplets of water that rolled down my cheeks. And my inner self was replaced by a darkness, a hole that had grown for every passing year. It had finally consumed me.
I felt nothing. I wasn't cold, I wasn't upset or angry, I was nothing.”Ms.Shaw!”
I held my knees to my chest and my hands were resting on the ground. I stared blankly ahead on the empty road.
”Ms.Shaw!”
It sounded as if someone was yelling. But I couldn't hear, or perhaps I just didn't care.
”ELENA!” Someone shouted.
I turned my head slowly to see where the sound was coming from. A few meters away from me stood a silver BMW and a man was standing by the drivers' door with an umbrella over his head.
When did he get here?
It was Pazzi, Ashton's colleague. I stared at him for a moment before turning my head again and staring at the emptiness.
I felt a hand on my shoulder but didn't react.
”Elena, get in the car,” He said. It wasn't a question, it sounded more like an order. I didn't respond.
Pazzi crouched beside me and turned my head with his hand so that I was looking at him.
”Elena, get in the car. Let’s go,” He repeated, softer this time.
”No, I'm good. You can leave now,”
”Is everything alright? Has something happened to you?” His face was void of emotion but his voice held worry.
I didn’t respond.
The cold was starting to claw its way into my bones. I was shivering and my body felt frozen and numb at the same time.
”Your lips are blue, we have to get you out of here,” He said. He slipped one arm under my legs and the other behind my back. Pazzi carried me to the car and placed me in the back seat.
He turned up the heat and started driving.
I stared out of the window for as long as I could remember before my eyes closed and the darkness greeted me.

”Urgh,” I groaned as I pulled the sheets over my head. The sun was beaming in and it felt like my head would explode any second.
I decided to go back to sleep and rolled over to my side, cozying down in the bed.
My hand dragged over the sheets and the other was underneath the satin-cased pillow. It felt like sleeping on a cloud.
Wait.
I don’t have satin cases.
My eyes flew open and my body jumped up in shock.
This wasn't my bed nor my room. This wasn't my apartment. I looked down at my body and saw that I was wearing a white T-shirt.
What the fuck is going on here? I don't remember anything from last night besides the meeting. Wait… Holy shit, Ashton wants me to be his personal assistant.
Slowly the memories started coming back and the headache got worse.
The door opened up to the room and Pazzi came in.
”Oh good, you're awake,” He said. He stopped by the fat of the bed and crossed his arms over his chest. He wasn't wearing a shirt and his body was…wow.
”Like what you see?”
I cleared my throat and quickly averted my eyes.
”What happened last night?” I asked him.
”You don't remember?”
I shook my head at his question. If I had remembered I wouldn't have asked.
”We fucked all night and then you fell asleep,” He stated. My mouth dropped and my hands started shaking.
Pazzi looked serious for a moment before he burst out in laughter.
”Relax I'm joking. The boss would've killed me,” He said as he walked into his closet and grabbed a shirt.
”The boss?” I asked, confused.
”Yes, perhaps you don't remember him, also your ex-boyfriend, Ashton,” His voice was drenched in sarcasm, making me roll my eyes.
”I was driving home from the office last night when I saw you sitting by the old shed in the alley.
You were completely drenched and you looked,” He trailed off.
I started remembering.
His eyes held sadness and pity. It was awful.
”I should go,” I said and threw off the sheet and got off the bed.
”We can go together, I’ll buy us some coffee,” He said.
”No that’s okay I’ll just call an Uber,”
”Why would you call an uber when we’re going to the same place?” He asked with one eyebrow raised.
”I’m going home, Pazzi,” I said and grabbed my pants from the chair in the corner. He must’ve had them fired for me last night.
”Home? Elena, today is your first day at the office,” I blinked a few times and then looked away.
”I’m going to the office. I’m not going to work as that idiot's personal assistant just so he can,” I realized I didn't want to say too much, not knowing how much he knew about Ashton.
”Just so he can what?”
”Nothing, I’m just not going. I’ll go back to school and find another internship somewhere.” I said.
”You don't know,” He said quietly.
”Perhaps you should call your principal,” Pazzi continued as he looked away.
I looked at him in shock. A sense of panic starting to build up within me.
I searched in my bag for my phone and quickly dialed Mr.Grayson’s number.
”Hello?” He said in his raspy voice.
”Mr.Grayson, hi it’s Ms. Shaw. I was calling to let you know that I didn't get the internship at Carlson enterprise, so I’ll be coming back to school and re-apply to other companies,”
Mr.Grayson coughed a bit and the line went silent for a minute.
”Ms. Shaw, I heard that you didn't get the internship, but you got a position at the company. You’ll take it,”

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. He has involved himself in my school, the only thing I had, he has taken from me.”All I know is that if you don't show up for work, you&rsqu

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.

I was fluttering my eyes open, slowly but surely I was starting to see. I had the worst migraine and my body felt as if it had been thrown off a cliff.”Hey there,” came a voice and when I turned I saw Pazzi sitting by my bed.”Hey, what’s happening?” I asked him. Shocked by the fact that he was in my bedroom. This can't be good.”You don't remember do you,” He said.I shook my head and got a Deja Vu feeling from the last time I woke up with him near me.”You were almost killed last night,” He said and I looked at him in shock.”What?””Do you remember dinner?” He asked

~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.

Five days later~Elena~I had been discharged form the hospital earlier than expected. Everything looked great and my vitals were above the ordinary.Ashton had been by my side the entire time, which Lisa had said was adorable and in-suffering at the same time.We were driving back to Ashtons house, Lisa, clint and Pazzi were all there.As we drove on the main road, I felt Ashtons hand on my thigh and smiled as I looked at him.”This is were our lives begin,” I said.”No, this is us continuing were we left of.””You were always my life, Elena,” the butterflies in stomach stirred to

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.
