All Chapters of Love And Ashes: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Maryann walked out of the restaurant with her face frowned, she boarded a cab and paid walking into her home, she looked extremely exhausted.She met her two younger siblings setting the table for dinner, her father was watching football on the television."Good evening father..." She greeted."He nodded "how was work Maryann?""Fine father..." She said walking away into her room.They weren't rich neither were they so poor, at least they could afford food to eat.She went back to the kitchen to help her mother."You don't look so good today" her mother said talking a glance at her.She chortled "I'm fine mother...."Her mother stared at her for a while "really? Why do I have this feeling that you're lying?"Maryann laughed "I'm not lying mother, come on..."She was trying to cover her bad mood besides she couldn't afford to allow her parents find out what she had done at work to Selena else they might yell at her for bridging h

"Just this once that I need your help more than anything in the world Louis, you're turning me down, I know you're lying to me Louis, why are you doing this to me?" I bursted into tears.I couldn't with hold my emotions has it has consumed the best part of me creeping into everything part of my body and engulfing me with it's burning furnance.My throat was graudally growing dry, I suddenly grew very thristy and desperate, I could feel the weakness of my bones growing harder which each second that swept my.My hands and feet were shaking nervously, Louis was my last hope and accepting that he has finally disappointed me what something I have refused to take.I wish so hard that someone could wake me up from this nightmare but it wasn't a dream, it was the reality of my life staring at me straight in the face.I swallowed my pride, putting my ego under my feet as I went on my knees holding his leg, he was my boyfriend, perhaps he could have a little compassio

"Selena.... I said I'm sorry" I could hear him sobbing from the background."You know, your mother was right, you owe me nothing, perharps I'm truly cursed" I said in anger."No Selena, none of that is true, Selena I love you" he said.I laughed "Did I just hear you say you love me? You don't really know what that means do you? love my ass! Just get lost!" I hanged up on him and burst into uncontrollable tears.I cried for a while and finally consoled myself wiping the so many tears lingering on my white face.I walked back into the hospital trying to find my way back to my sister's room, I felt a little dizzy.I placed my hand over my forehead with my breath totally unstable but I cared less.I walked back into my sister's room, she turned to look at me, she smiled "you came back, I thought you left me."I walked closer to her and sat on the bed, I held her hand caressing it softly "I would never leave you Anabelle, we are in this together."

The ladies and gentlemen in the office picked up the glass cups on the table close by raising it above their heads."Cheers!" They choroused.They all looked so happy, congratulating Mr.Chancy who looked so proud while I sat there feeling like a sacrificial lamb.I didn't say a word even when they tried to talk to me, I only smiled while feeling upset within me.I left the office in no time in the company of Mr.Chancy, we drove off in one of his cars."Where are we going?" I asked feeling uncomfortable.He turned to me and smiled "you're presently my fiancee and bride to be and as such you need to meet the standards of the Chancy family."I gaped " I don't understand."First you would no longer work at that restaurant, you would rather work with me at my company, secondly you won't go back to live in that house of yours..."I cutted him off before he could say another word "you didn't tell me that I would start living in your house or qui

I felt a slight headache, I ran my hand through my forehead feeling a little feverish "I was just having a bad dream."She nodded still staring at me.I looked up at the lady's face, I could barely see her face clearly, my vision was blurry.I rubbed my hands over my eyes hoping it gets better soon enough.I had dozed off in my new room, I was so exhausted after going here and there with Mr.Chancy, I haven't slept well in a long time though.The lady hissed "what are you doing in my mother's room?" She yelled.I was surprised, she didn't sound nice to me at all.Fortunately my vision got clearer, I sat up on the bed, my shoulders ached alot.I scoffed taking a quick glance at her face and around the room."I don't understand...." I said stuttering a bit.I couldn't understand what she meant by her mother's room besides I have never met the lady before.She yanked me by the arm "did you just say you don't understand or are you de
