Trapped In Shackles 2 Chapter 36 ANTON'S EMBARRASSMENT
Back to the beach house...Ashley's body grew tense. She tried to pry his arms off her, but it seemed to be getting harder.Anton had pressed her completely on the couch making her movements limited.She felt so helpless but she didn't intend to stop. She gathered all her strength to free herself from his grasp but his body weight felt like a huge boulder hovering above her.With difficult breathing, she grumbled. "Mr. Stanford... Let go of me, please!""I'm not letting you go..." Anton slurred as he dove into the crook of her neck. "Damn it!" Ashley cursed under her breath as she struggled to move beneath him. "You're intoxicated, Anton! Wake up!"She tapped him hard on the arm, but he ignored her protests. Instead, he began to leave butterfly kisses on her collarbones, making her shiver all over. The tingling sensations weakened her defenses, but a part of her tried to fight."I can't hold it back!" He grunted as he continued to assault her with his kisses. His warm breath was near

"Athena Adams," His brows knitted together as he stared down at her. "You can't possibly be asking me to betray your brother, right?"'He hasn't told me anything about it, so how am I supposed to tell you?' He thought, a sly glint in his eyes.She rolled her greenish orbs and shook her head. "Don't be ridiculous, Terrence, and stop using such an awful word! You're treating me like a goddamn villain!"Terrence couldn't help smirking "But you look like a hot villain right now. And I'm eager to surrender if you use your deadly charms on me.""Hmm.." Athena began poking her fingers into his chest with a devilish grin. "You're aware that I've got mood swings from time to time right?""U-huh!" He nodded.Of course, he knew. He had been dealing with it several times and this moment wasn't an exception. This was also the reason why he remained cautious when speaking and tending to her needs. The last time she was pissed, she had shut him off their room for a week leaving him to sleep on the c

"Wait! Miss Zenith!" Ashley freaked out. 'Did I dig my own grave by telling her those words? What was I thinking?!'She wanted to say something else but the line went dead, leaving her speechless and helpless. Pacing back and forth, she held her forehead and thought. 'Oh, God! What should I do? I'm not ready to lose her yet! What if I complicate her pregnancy? I would be damned if that happens!'She already had a lot on her plate to deal with and her friend's sudden arrival wasn't helping her situation either. Everything was getting complicated and she feared that she might not be able to do what she needed to do.The sun goes down, painting a captivating sunset but Ashley wasn't in the mood to enjoy such a sight. To her, the sight reminds her of the Last Supper.She felt that this would also be her last supper if she didn't make herself clear about her situation way back.Needless to say, if she were lucky, she would be able to come clean; if not, she would be treading on thin ice.

Ashley stood rooted on the spot. Her eyes gazed at him blankly while her mind wandered to a certain memory from 7 years ago.It was the time when they had just started dating.Back then, he used to treat her like this.He was exceptionally gentle and caring towards her. The affection in his eyes couldn't be mistaken followed by his sweet gestures most of the time.Tucking her hair strands behind her ear had become his routine whenever he'd come closer to her. She didn't know if it was his way of comforting her but it did improve her mood whenever she felt upset, especially when Megan gave her a hard time at home.Ashley was helpless back then. She didn't have anyone besides Kyle, but Megan was too wicked to separate them using their weaknesses against each other.Kyle's dream had been realized a long time since he'd shown interest in laboratory experiments therefore, he agreed without hesitation.Since they grew up together, they were more than buddies, so if someone else knew about

Kyle was surprised.He didn't expect that Megan, whom he had grown to be the most cold-hearted woman of a mother would easily hand him over the most confidential data she had. As far as he could remember, she solely had access to this data, and never had she let anyone get their hands on it. But why was she handing it over to him so easily? Wasn't she aware of what he's been up to all these years? Kyle was helping Ash produce the antidote to the drug she tried to develop throughout these years and it was progressing but he wasn't able to perfect it. The effect of his formula only lasted for a couple of days which is why Ashley had to go back and forth to find him for another shot. She had written this schedule in her personal calendar in her office to ensure she would never miss any of the dates.He stared at her retreating figure suspiciously, trying to comprehend exactly what she was up to.If Megan was up to no good then she was probably changing her tricks to manipulate the two o

Ashley's eyes widened in astonishment. She held her forehead in anguish. 'I misplaced it!'She just realized that she hadn't been checking on her mobile phone since she put Anton's name on the blacklist. Perhaps because of his constant calls during those times, checking her mobile phone occasionally has become her habit. After ending the matters between them, she lost interest in even checking on her phone. She even forgot where she had placed it as she was busy cleaning her newly rented unit. The only things she had with her when she left earlier were her car keys and her wallet, loaded with bank cards to pay for her purchases. Ashley pursed her lips and thought. 'When did I begin to neglect the most important matter because of him? What was wrong with me?' It suddenly dawned on her that she seemed to have returned to the past where they had started. Anton cast a side glance at her. He noticed that she was staring at his hand in a daze for a long time thus he nudged her mildly.

'Of all the places in NY City, why must it be here? And why now?' Ashley was taken aback by the sudden appearance of both him and Megan. It sent a chill down her spine to see them in the same place as her.With one tilt of her head, her shrewd adoptive mother would see him immediately, and knowing her character, Ashley felt goosebumps all over her body. She hadn't known anyone so blatant in revealing her inner thoughts other than her and she feared that she might spout nonsense when facing him.However, she didn't know why Anton was there. She couldn't help but think that he must be trying to find her but as soon as she recalled what happened earlier today, she shook her head.'Nah! That's ridiculous! He wouldn't dare go back in his words, wouldn't he?'She had worked under him for six months and she knew that he had a terrible temper towards her and the least he would do was to find her when he had already set her free. There's no way that the guy came all the way here just to find

Andrey's face fell and his heart sank right there and then. He was an inch closer to obtaining the information he desperately wanted to have but he was being shut off by an unknown caller. Whoever was that, he had cursed that person a million times before he exited Anton's office. As he ascended the elevator, he made a mental note to tail him in the next couple of days to obtain more information he needed to complete the puzzle forming inside his head. He couldn't let Cassandra down and waste her trust in him. With that in mind, he clenched his fists determined to do something.Meanwhile, back to Anton's office... "Hey!" He sounded enthusiastic as he answered the call. "You finally remember that you still had a friend waiting, huh!" "We're coming back in a couple of days..." The voice on the other end responded joyfully. It was none other than Terrence Adams who had called him in such a peculiar moment. Anton breathed a sigh of relief. If not for his calling, he would have turned

The female mechanical voice on the other end felt like salt in his wounds, leaving him speechless as he fought the urge to curse under the presence of the young lawyer for he didn't want to show how chaotic he was deep inside.'She erased her tracks quickly,' he thought sullenly as he mulled over everything repeatedly.Starting from their brief encounters in the past and so on. Everything that had happened between them recently has brought them to this very moment.It took him quite a while before he finally understood her motive for agreeing to his demand. After all, she had told him about this fact before she signed her name into the paper but he never believed her then. Not until now that she took this situation as an opportunity to sever ties with him completely.'How ridiculous!' He sneered but as soon as his mind flashed of the times their being together, his heart began to race for some unknown reason. There's no way that she would help him for no reason unless she...Anton's l

Chapter 1 THE PROMISE
Ashley stared at the piece of paper laid on the table in front of her, weighing the words written thoughtfully. Across her is Anton Stanford whose eyes remained cold and emotionless while studying her face. For a moment, there was a brief silence between them, and both seemingly calculating. Anton's lips curved, forming a cold smile as he began to speak. "Don't you know how much I hate you?" Ashley looked up and stared at him with the same expression. "You don't have to tell me. We both feel the same." BANG! The table produced a rattled sound as Anton slammed his fist hard on the table, furious. "You even have the guts to hate me after taking my woman's life?! How dare you!" Ashley blinked in confusion after taking every word into her mind. "You can't stand the sight of me, I got that but what was that piece of paper mean? It clearly states that you want me to stay by your side not to mention you're demanding that I should be in charge of everything including your daily lif...
