Ashton's POV

Later in the day, I decided to take a drive around town to clear my head. There was a remote area in the busy city that reminded me a lot of where I grew up. The lush forest, the tranquillity, and the smell of nature left me with a nostalgic feeling. I missed my adoptive mother and the pack I grew up in. I miss being the simple life I was raised in, I missed hunting with my adoptive father and helping my mother prepare dinners, I missed sitting by the fire and talking to them.. These were things I had taken for granted before, but now that I was forced to act like someone i wasn't, I wished I could return to my old life. But I had made a vow, and I would do whatever it takes to see it through.

I leaned against my sleek black Ferrari and watched the part that led further into the woods, wondering if it would be a wise idea to go forward. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to fight off the urge to take a run once I was within the comforting shade of those lush trees. With a

    Emelia's POVThe drive is silent. On multiple occasions, Damien would look at me like he wanted to say something, but he would decide against it. What the hell did he have to say anyways? I had made everything clear to him, just because I found him attractive still didn't mean I was ready to forgive him. Even if I ended up making a stupid choice and we slept together, it wouldn't budge my perspective. I was out to destroy him, nothing would change that. What I felt now was merely attraction, the thing that had led to my doom in the first place.The moment the car pulled up inside my compound and came to a stop in the parking lot. I was quick to exit the car, but not without Damien's arm brushing against my Lower back, trying and failing to get a hold of me. " Emelia..."Whatever he had to say, I didn't stop to listen. I continued walking until I was inside the house and then slammed the door shut. But I didn't leave immediately, instead I rested my head against the door and listened t

    Emelia's POV "Is there something going on between you and Damien West?" " Mary.." " No, I know it's not appropriate for me to ask. But we've been friends even before you became CEO Em, I care about you. If there's something going on..." " There's nothing going on between Damien and I. How can you even think that, after all he's done " " That's what confuses me, Em. I know you said you hated him. But the pictures, the look you have whenever you both are together. There's hatred in your eyes, yes, but there's also attraction. It's what the Media sees. They are making a joke out if this babe " " I plan to avoid him, I do " " Maybe you do, but he doesn't seem intent on letting you do so. Whatever happens, remember that you are married, the world knows, you know, and Damien knows as well. If things go down you have the most to lose " Mary walks out of the room after saying this. I was left feeling confused and angry. Was that why the whole office was talking behind my back? Be

    Emelia's POV " You may remain here as long as you wish, I hardly care " " I didn't need you permission " Anna said disdainfully " However, I need you to get me a job with ' Mirabel Maison ', they will be hosting a fashion week this month and I want to be apart of it " I looked at Anna like she had grown a second head. I was familiar with Mirabel Maison, It was only one of the top fashion industries in show biz. Some of their models have even worked with us, but that had been when the business was still under Molly And Desmond. I was barely CEO for a few years and Anna already expected me to perform a miracle. " I could recommend you to..." " No " She cut me short " I want a contract " " You can't expect me to demand they give you a contract! I've never even worked with them officially, " It would not only seem disrespectful that I was pushing someone to them, but it would appear arrogant of me as well. People would think I was becoming too cocky with my position. That was certain

    Ashton's POVI blow a puff of smoke and watch it expand and then disperse, the whole room smells of it. I don't know how many sticks of Cigar I've heard so far, all I know is that smoking has failed to relax me like usual. The woman beside me moans in her sleep and curls further into the blanket. She is beautiful, with caramel skin, curly brown hair and the softest doe eyes I have ever seen. Yet I barely glance at her. The sex had been...bland. Usually I wouldn't hesitate to go all night as long as my partner was willing, but I found myself unable to fuck my partner again after our first orgasm, despite how lovingly she begged and tried to seduce me into having another round.Her voice had been soft and seductive as she whispered moans into my ears. The voice...yes, it had been the fucking voice that got me entrapped in the first place. The woman's voice had been so similar to Emelia, my attention had been drawn in the club the moment I heard her speak. So once again it was all about

    Ashton's POV" You will let me see Emelia " I demanded" My daughter does not wish to you see "" That's bullshit and you know it. You don't deserve to be here with as much as I do, don't you ever forget who gave me the go ahead to divorce her and signed away everyone of her inheritance to your younger daughter "Richard's fist clenched by his side. He gazed at me with so much hatred and venom. " Why have you decided to ruin my family? First it was Emelia, then you moved on to Sasha! Those girls had done nothing to you!"" If you had wanted to protect them, you should have done a better job. It's too late now to play ' good daddy ' with those girls. You owe me a lot.

If something happens to me I'm likely not going to be able to take my revenge "" Fuck the revenge! Shit, I'd keep you safe myself if I could Em, The last thing I want is for anything bad to happen to you " I stared at her directly, hoping she could see the sincerity in my gaze. Emelia frowned in confusion, seeming to not understand what was happening. She tried to retrieve her hand but I held tighter, I just couldn't lose contact. I needed to be close to her, to hold her, if only to ensure I wasn't dreaming." Who are you?" She askedMy entire body went tense. Fuck, why was she asking that? It couldn't be that she had found out the truth could it? Had I been acting so out of character that she had noticed I was an imposter? Would she not want to have anything to do with me if she found out I wasn't Damien

    Emelia's POVSeveral days passed and Damien didn't stop visiting me at the hospital. He visited me more often than even my parents who were to curry my favour. Richard and Molly had pleaded with me to accept their apologies, apparently they had been blinded by their love for Sasha in the past that they didn't see how badly she hurt me. They want me to simply pretend the events of five years hadn't happened at all. That wasn't going to happen. I might not feel a strong hatred for them ( they were still my family ) but it didn't mean I was just going to reconcile with them. I was happier on my own, living on my own terms and knowing that no one could break my heart and trust again.Damien, I didn't know what to make of him. Here was this arrogant man willing to sign off half his company to me, his fortunes, the one thing that had made him who he was, and all for what? Simply because he wanted to have sex with me? How many times had he told me how unattractive I was, that he would rather

    Emelia's POVI can't help staring at him closely, trying to gorge out what could be wrong with him. Obviously there were many factors at work here, but I just couldn't place my finger on it. I knew Damien was different, I just didn't know what he was.My look didn't go unnoticed by him. " Have you looked enough?" his lips curled up in an amused smirk. I hurriedly turned my gaze away from him, feeling embarrassed that he had caught me looking. He must think I was flirting with him." Don't get me wrong, I just think there is something off about you "Damien tensed slightly but he quickly relaxed himself, but I didn't miss the subtle change. " What do you mean?"" We've been married for three years, I've known you for much longer. Yet I...I feel like we are strangers "" Perhaps you've just never seen this side of me "" Yes " The kind side of him was never mine to see " You preferred to show it back then "Damien tensed again, he hadn't meant to imply that.

    "Oh no, he's going to get you in trouble again," Evelyn bit her lips anxiously. Silas couldn't help but follow the movement. He wasn't known by his circle to be a patient person, but he didn't urge her to make a decision quickly. This frightened birdie had a weak mental state; he didn't want to push her into doing something she didn't want to.Besides, this might be the first time he was asking a woman out—usually, they just threw themselves at him."Alright then, but...would you be okay with me telling my father about you? Perhaps if he knows that you are the one who saved me, he might get off my back.""Sure, do as you wish.""How do you plan on doing this? Beth is very skilled; she doesn't even let me go to the bathroom alone.""Don't worry." He glanced at the woman briefly, then rose to his feet and gestured for Evelyn to follow.

    Meet him? He was willing to meet up with her?Evelyn was stunned; it took her a long while to finally digest what her savior was proposing.

But who would have thought that he would propose to meet up again!Her excitement died down, however, when she recalled the events of yesterday. Silas hadn’t hesitated to shoot those people; it was the first time Evelyn had been involved in a violent scene. There was something dark about him; perhaps he was involved in a gang or something.

    Sensing the rising tension, Luciano finally interfered. "It's enough now, both of you." He turned his gaze to Ashton; there was a bit of guilt in his eyes. "I will speak with him."Ashton scoffed, and with one last glare at his son, he walked out of the room. Only when he saw his father retreating back did Silas allow his emotions to reflect on his face. He was in disbelief; just now, he had been a bit scared that the man might take action. The way Ashton had stared at him was like looking at a dead thing, cold and detached.Slowly, he sat back on the sofa, his hands trembling by his side, which made him feel very irritated. "What would you like to talk to me about?""The girl you met—you shouldn't get involved with her anymore.""Why?""The reason is not important.""Not important?" Silas laughed dryly.

    Silas was back in Italy by the next morning. Thankfully, he got to his grandfather's house just as his father's car stopped in front of the compound. The handsome man was dressed meticulously in a three-piece suit, his hair kept short and neatly cut. He exuded an air of coldness that intimidated those around him.Luciano came out to greet his adoptive son, a smile playing on his lips. "I didn’t expect you to come here today. To what do I owe the visit?""I'm here to bring the boy home. His mother worries.""He is old enough to go wherever he wants, Amore. There’s no need to coddle him. He is a Beriosova, after all."'That's it,' Ashton thought to himself. 'It's exactly because I know he is a Beriosova.'The longer Silas stayed in a place like this, the harder it would be to untangle him from the web of crime and illegal business his grandfather governed. Ashton hated this kind of lifestyle the most. He had left the compound after marriage, choosing to start an honest business his fami

    Though the man was visibly angry, how could Evelyn leave just like that? She didn’t know why she was still lurking around; a part of her just wanted to get to know this person more. She felt an instant connection to him.Or perhaps it was the resemblance he shared with her mom. Every time she looked at his face, she was left feeling dazzled. He was simply too handsome; just one look into his eyes and she would get flustered. How nice it would be to befriend this person. Only then could she properly repay him for his help.“You don’t understand how difficult it was to find you. Now that I’m here, I can’t simply leave just like that. At least let me take you out for dinner.” No, that sounded like she was asking him out on a date! Seeing the man’s face darken further, she quickly added, “Or we can just talk here. I don’t mind.”“First of all, I don’t appreciate being stalked.” The fact that she had even managed to find him meant he hadn’t been on guard in the first place. That wouldn’t d

    It was Saturday the next day, so she slept far into the morning than usual. She was awakened due to the constant pinging sound her phone made. Groggily, she picked it up and checked the messages; her eyes were wide with shock when she saw that the information had been sent to her. Bella was very meticulous in her work; she'd managed to pinpoint the exact location where the car was being stationed at the moment.The Moonlite Imperial Hotel, a five-star hotel whose history could also be traced back to the Royal family. It was once a mansion which was gifted to a young princess by her father. Though the hotel wasn't very big, due to its historical background and beautiful scenery, it was a popular tourist attraction.Those who stayed at this hotel were clearly people who had the money. Evelyn had been there once on a school tour. It was located in a remote part of town, nearly two hours' drive away from her father's company.Two damn hours!! Now, how the hell was she supposed to achieve

    Molly Walker, the one person Winter couldn't silence. Knowing how malicious his mother was towards his wife and daughter, Winter preferred it if she remained in New York instead of visiting. While he could punish those who dared to spread rumors about his daughter's legitimacy, at least their words were only speculations based on very thin evidence.But Molly knew the truth, and though she never pointed it out directly, her hints weren't exactly subtle. And Winter respected her enough not to have her threatened; he could only watch with great dissatisfaction as she ran her mouth over issues that were of no concern to her."Dad?" Evelyn had gotten out of the car and was waiting for him to do the same, only she saw that the man was lost in his thoughts and was glaring down at the steering wheel like it had offended him greatly."You go in first, I'll be right behind you."Evelyn easily agreed and left the parking lot.

    Unknowingly, she began to entertain the thought of actually considering Sage's proposal.She couldn't take her eyes off him in class. She hadn't noticed just how tall and good-looking he was before; now, it was all she could think about."Ms. Walker, mind taking your eyes off Sage for a moment and paying attention to the board?" The teacher's voice snapped her out of her thoughts, and it also drew the entire class’s gaze to her. Some found it sincerely amusing, while others, particularly Sage's female admirers, gave her warning looks.Evelyn shrank back in her seat, her face aflame with embarrassment. She hadn’t even realized she'd been watching Sage so intensely that even the teacher had noticed.Sage looked over his shoulder at the embarrassed girl and couldn’t help an amused chuckle. "Damn, you finally have her in the bag," his friend and seatmate, Josh, exclaimed.
