When Ash insisted that he came with her, she refused.Ashton walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water from the fridge. He took a large gulp before sealing it back. His eyes darted to the tray of cupcakes that sat on the kitchen counter immediately and he smiled as the memory came flushing in."Master Ryder?" The feminine voice called and he almost yelped in fear. How had he not notice that Mary would be home now. "Are you alright? You were smiling to yourself," she said to him and he just chuckled."I'm fine Maria, I'm just too happy that I can't keep my smile away.""But what could make you this happy-" she stopped herself then thought. "Oh my Gosh, don't tell me it's-""In more ways than one." He joked."You guys finally made up, I'm so happy." She squealed."I'm happy too Maria, I'm too happy that I fear this happiness won't last,""Don'

"Why do you say Samson killed her?" Peterson asked. "Samson was seen an hour after she left.""Because Samson was in love with my girlfriend! He was jealous of the both of us so he took her away from me." "Mr. Phillips, do not make accusations you cannot prove.""I'm telling you, he's lying to you!" He blurted out before cooling down. "He's lying to you," he repeated with a sigh. "Well can you prove it?" Peterson asked. "No but-""Did you see him?" Zachary cursed when he didn't have anything to say. "No," Zachary said in defeat. "Then, I believe we are done here."---"What's on your mind?" Thea asked him. He never ceased brushing her hair with his hand as she planted herself to his chest."I'm thinking," he said."About?""My sister," he answered without missing a beat."Oh," she said. "Freya's death came as a shock to me,""Me too, I flew over immediately I heard of it. I am working with the police force in investigating who murdered her but everything seem to revolve around it

Fiona pressured and Thea was forced to walk to the direction of his office immediately."Mr. Ryder," she said when she entered. He was filing in documents in his safe when she knocked and entered in his request."What a pleasure making it early Miss Kennedy. I believe I would have to throw a tantrum before seeing you every morning considering you are the one with the fame.""Absolutely not, sir." He turned to her now with his brow raised in amusement."Sir?" He asked."Em...what am I supposed to say? You are my boss in the office, i-" He pulled her closer, surprising her. "I can't know you by your first name while in the office. You said so yourself." She stuttered."What if we compromise. You get to call me Sir when we are in public but in private, I'm just your Ash." His nose trailed down her cheeks."A

It's the first time I've had a friend over."It was Saturday once more and they had just gone shopping for some particular things to make them look good tonight."I'm glad too Fiona,""So let's start with the make up.""I thought you said we were looking forward to a great artist a while ago."

She walked further to find an elevator looking back to ensure that she wasn't caught or followed.Unexpectedly, she was pulled into a room and the door shut with a thud. She screamed but masculine hand muffled her voice before she could alert anybody."Help-""It's me," it was then she looked at the man pinning her to the door. She relaxed visibly before hitting him painfully. "You scared me,""I'm sorry,""It's okay-""Not for scaring you, for what you saw at the hall." She looked away immediately."So she's back," Thea said and he nodded softly. "And you had your arm around her." She continued."I-""You let her kiss you," Thea continued and the words come out spitefully."I'm sorry, I couldn't push her away everyone was looking." He said."So I am just going to be the other woman?""Of course not, you are the one for me, you have my heart with you and you know it.""Save me your meaningless lecture Ashton.

"Where were you last night?" Ashton froze at the door to his home. Releasing who spoke, he shut the door softly."That's none of your business," he told her, beginning to walk further into the kitchen."You were with her, were you not?"
