Trapped In Shackles 2 Chapter 14 KATE ASHTON
She knows her body very well. There was something wrong with her behavior, and she guessed that it must be one of the possible side effects of what she'd been through 7 years ago thus she concentrated on fighting it no matter what.Trying hard to control the possibility of them getting into a big mess, Ashley thought of something that could divert both their attention."Anton Stanford, do you want to know where I've been and who I was with the entire night?" She tries to provoke him as she senses that he is about to get carried away with that euphoric feeling."As long as it's not a man, I don't give a damn!" Ashley laughed maniacally. "I was with her! Do you still not care?!"Anton's eyes turned starkly dark and the next thing he knew, he had her neck clasped tightly between his fingers."I dare you to say that again!" He demanded whilst gritting his teeth in so much anger. "Say that again!"Though she was already choking, she still continued to provoke him."I went... I went to se

Two days later... Ashley stared blankly at the messages she received. [Athena is worried about you!] [Call me when you get back!] "What's that?! He seriously texted you?!" Kyle had been standing behind her for God knows how long yet she failed to notice his presence as her mind went elsewhere. She dropped her phone back on the table and sighed. "I need to get back to work." "Are you worried about him?" He asked her curiously. "I'm feeling better now..." "Were you able to find out everything through the data?" Kyle continued to ask shifting his face into seriousness. She shook her head. "Something doesn't add up. It seemed incomplete." She said, "Are you sure that this is all you got? You didn't hide something from me, right?" Kyle immediately darted his gaze away from her as soon as he sensed her getting suspicious. However, no matter how fast he was, she was way faster than him therefore she noticed him at a glance. "Kyle Ashton!" She yelled at him. "Spill it out befor

"I'll pretend this conversation didn't occur in the first place, Mr. Stanford!"Anton couldn't hide his frustration when he heard her response earlier."Pretend?!" He grumbled as he dramatically slumped his back at his swivel chair. "Can she really do that? How?"He shook his head. 'Forget it!' He thought. 'At least I'm trying to be nice to her but she refused it.'As office hours started, he began to get busy with the documents piled on his table.When the clock hit 10 a.m., he heard someone knocking on his door."Come in," He uttered without looking up."Mr. Stanford," Ashley muttered professionally. "It's time for your brunch appointment with Miss Amber!"He looked up for a brief moment."Cancel it!" He instructed in a firm tone as he assumed signing the documents."Pardon, sir?" She seemed to have heard him wrong thus she affirmed. "I'm not going to meet her!" He repeated without further explanation.Ashley stared at him, holding her frown from surfacing.She didn't know the sto

"Take a seat!" Amber demanded wilfully as soon as they arrived at their reserved table.Ashley took the space across her, and Anton followed suit, taking the spare one on the side. Never had she thought that he would insist on bringing her to this place after telling her to cancel their appointment with the woman earlier. And since he's her boss, she had no choice but to agree even though she was against of idea of facing a lunatic woman like "That's not the seat you're supposed to sit on," Amber whined shamelessly at him then she glared at Ashley whose eyes were coldly focused on her, demanding. "Changed sits with me!" The latter tilted her head sideways as if searching for something around before standing up from her seat and going to Amber's side. "It would be much better if you just allow me to go instead of having me here as your witness." She grumbled under her breath knowing that this would make the woman satisfied. However, Anton heard the words she said, and for some re

"How is she?"Anton asked as soon as the doctor stormed out of his guest room."Her vitals are normal but she seemed to be suffering from emotional distress, Mr. Stanford." The doctor responded in a professional manner.Though he might've already known the reason as to why she fainted, he still asked."Emotional distress?"The doctor pushed his glasses higher on the bridge of his nose before he answered."I'm not sure, Mr. Stanford. I'm afraid I can't tell you the exact reason but I can refer someone if you like. That person might be the one to tell you the right answers you need to hear."Saying so, he took something from his bag and handed it over to him. "You can set an appointment with him."Anton stared at the calling card in his hand as soon as the doctor left.'Would you even tell me if I ask you about it? What made you like this?' He thought as he shoved the card into his pockets and stormed into the guest room.The mere sight of her lifeless brought a sense of regret inside h

'KATE ASHTON!'Ashley furiously repeated in her mind while maneuvering the steering wheel.The name always drives her mad let alone hearing it from him. She was too startled to even say a word thus she kept her mouth shut until their meal ended and he was definitely wondering why.She had seen it coming but still, she wasn't ready yet! Her darkest secret which she had tried to cover up for seven years was threatening to resurface which made her feel anxious.Thankfully, he wasn't able to ask her again as he received an urgent call from their private residence so he hurried to go home after dropping her off at her place but instead of going in, she drove towards her brother's place.As soon as she entered into his apartment, she roared like a mad tigress."Kyle Ashton!"A couple of minutes passed and the guy hurried out of his room and also shouted."Ashley Mills! What brings you here?!"She stared at him from head to toe, frowning hard."Why do you have to come out like that?" She ask

As soon as Anton arrived at the hospital, he directed himself to the emergency room."What happened to her?!" He questioned Leo as soon as he spotted him standing outside the door.Leo's eyes gleamed at the sight of him then he looked behind him. Seeing that he was alone, he frowned hard."Did you find at least one of her closest family?" Leo asked with a hint of urgency lacing in his voice. "Father, mother or it could have been much better if you found her sibling.""She has no one else aside from me." He replied and demanded. "Tell me what happened to her.""Apart from her injuries, she needs a blood transfusion! The one that matched her type!" Leo explained anxiously. "She seemed determined to leave everything behind according to my speculation..."Anton frowned as he asked. "What do you mean by that?!""That was just my speculation." The doctor sighed heavily. "Right now, you need to get checked and if you're suitable to be her blood donor then we'll proceed to that.""Then what a

"Hmm... Please don't go..." Kyle was mumbling words while in deep slumber when his mobile phone interrupted his dreaming. "No!" He shouted as he jolted up. It was then that he heard his mobile phone ringing. As he snatched it from his nightstand, he found a very familiar number and it brought him chills all over. However, regardless of how he felt, he still answered the call as if he hadn't any choice. "Mother," He greeted as he held his mobile phone stiffly. "It's been a while...""Kyle Ashton!" The latter shouted in the other end frigidly. "What the hell is wrong with her?! Does she even know how much trouble she'd caused me for what she had done?!" "Huh?" He broke into a cold sweat as his eyes widened like saucers in shock as he asked. "What?! Megan, what are you talking about?!" "You don't know that she almost killed herself?!" The woman named Megan scolded him over the phone. "Haven't I told you to keep her safe?! Don't you realize how much trouble it would cost me if we h

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
Trapped In Shackles 2 Chapter 35 TERRENCE'S DOUBTS
"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
Trapped In Shackles 2 Chapter 34 SEDUCING HIM
"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.
Trapped In Shackles 2 Chapter 33 SELECTIVE AMNESIA
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
Trapped In Shackles 2 Chapter 32 ANGEL AMIDST THE WAVES
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
Trapped In Shackles 2 Chapter 31 TERMINAL ILLNESS
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.
Trapped In Shackles 2 Chapter 30 INDESCRIBABLE CHILL
'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
Trapped In Shackles 2 Chapter 29 REMINDERS
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
Trapped In Shackles 2 Chapter 28 SPY ON HIM
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
