Chapter Fifty - Colliding With Him

Hayley sighed for the umpteenth time at seeing the visitor’s form in front of her. So Ashton had come here in her absence to see her. What could he possibly want? She wasn’t going down that path again. He could have an affair with whoever he pleased. It had almost been two months since she had last seen him, but her life had changed drastically in those last few months. Ever since she had moved into her parents' house, she could feel the topic of her marriage cropping up almost daily. At a charity event, her mom and granny met Jason again. He showed a keen interest in her, which got her family rethinking their decision. “I’m not interested in marrying Jason.” Her decision was final but her granny pestered her almost every day. Hayley had no idea what personal gain she would get out of their relationship. “He has changed a lot, my dear. He wants to come over to dinner, just for you.

Chapter Fifty-One - Declining Her Offer

Ashton went out, straight to Silver Spring Resorts to have a word with the security guards. He had to know what was happening. He couldn’t let Madison create problems in his relationship with Hayley. He approached the guards on duty who immediately greeted him with respect. Ashton produced a picture of Madison from his mobile phone and showed it to them. “Have you seen this woman around here in the last two months?” The guards looked at the photograph and recognized her immediately. “Yes sir. That’s your girlfriend, Madison. She came here a few times to see you.” Ashton’s jaws dropped at the information. What? So Madison arrived here claiming to be his girlfriend! He seethed with fury and faced the clueless guards. “How can you blindly believe anyone and allow them entry without my permission? This woman is just an acquaintance of mine and hasn’t met me at all when she arrived here. How is it that I don’t have any information on this?” he reprimanded them. “Oh, we’re sorry, Mr. P

Chapter Fifty-Two - Meeting Her For The Last Time?

Christopher Barclay waited for Ashton in his study the next day when Hayley was at work. Knowing his hardworking nature and level of intelligence, he too wanted Ashton to handle Barclay International. “Why have you called him, Chris?” asked her mom, sitting down with her husband. “I hope you aren’t considering him for Hails?” “No, Carol. Relax. I just want him to work for us.” “Why? I don’t want him around Hails. He will manipulate her mind and she’ll never consider Jason,” said Caroline Barclay bitterly. She had seen Ashton once at a social gathering long ago, to which the entire Van Every family was invited. She hated the sight of the tattooed guy, who looked like a misfit among them. Therefore, it was natural that she preferred Jason, who tried to impress her when they met at charity events. “You’re overreacting, Carol. Ashton isn’t the type to manipulate Hayley. Despite his rough exterior, he’s quite a polished and well-behaved boy.” “You can keep your opinions to yourself, C

Chapter Fifty-Three - Would She Stop Him?

Ashton waited patiently for Hayley outside her gate. He wanted to go inside and get her but her mom’s words echoed in his mind and he stayed in the car. Hayley peered at him from her balcony and rushed inside. Under the streetlights, Ashton saw her looking hot in a black dress that clung to her curves. He couldn’t wait to hold her in his arms tonight. Soon the wicket gates opened and Hayley emerged with a shy smile on her face. With her thick shiny hair bouncing at every step she took, her curvaceous figure swaying tantalizingly as she walked towards him, Ashton was drowned in her beauty. His body started revolting against his decision to go away. Why should he, when Hayley confessed her love for him? Why would he step down because of her mother? Her opinions didn’t matter to him because he hardly knew her. What mattered to him was Hayley’s feelings. If she wanted him to stay, he would. Ashton got down to open the door for her. “Thanks. I was dreading the drive!” she said breathless

Chapter Fifty-Four - Can't Survive Without You

Throughout dinner, there was a verbal battle between Beatrix and Eva. They all supported Eva against Beatrix's constant jabs. Alyssa looked upset, since it was her birthday treat and it wasn’t what she wanted. “Why did we come here, Alex? You should have tried the food at Hudson Skyview. The food is to die for. It’s a hot favorite amongst all celebrities. You won’t believe it, the famous actor Tom Duncan wanted to purchase the place. I was present when he made the offer,” laughed Beatrix, but no one seemed to be interested in her talks. “We are no celebrities. So this is fine for us. I actually love the food here,” said Alyssa with a fake smile. “I understand,” said Beatrix, giving her a sympathetic look. “So, Eva, you’re a nurse, right? I’m sure you’ve never seen a place such as this in your life.” “Yes, I’m a nurse. Saving lives, and nurturing people to health, is my priority in life, Beatrix. So answering your question, no, I’ve never been here or to your celebrity place. I’m

Chapter Fifty-Six - Ashton Goes Into Hiding

The next day, Hayley kept calling him to ensure that he was well. Ashton spent the entire day at home, not stepping out in case Antonio and his men grabbed hold of him. A nagging fear crept into his heart but he couldn’t hide for long. A simple phone call from an unknown number disrupted his mental peace. “Hello!” he croaked into the phone.“Pierce, come over immediately to Don's mansion. He wants to meet you,” said a male voice that was unfamiliar. Who could it be?“Who’s speaking?” he demanded agitatedly. “Kingsley here. You better turn up or I’ll capture your bi*ch.” He abruptly disconnected the call but Ashton couldn’t help the feeling of dread that crept into his heart. Why did Kingsley call him instead of Antonio? “Ashton, come over for lunch,” said Jodie Van Every. He went over to the dining table and found his Uncle Daniel watching the television. He sat down beside him and watched the news, too. “Justice for you, Ashton. This morning, the CBI captured Antonio Lombardi,

Everyone froze, since no one knew what would happen now. Hayley’s eyes flew towards Ashton’s and he winked, a sly smile spreading across his face. It made her instantly wary, as Madison’s words echoed in her head. It was true she wanted him to be here, but what if he was here to take her away? No, she wouldn’t leave without attending Sienna’s wedding.

We’ve just come to take away Alyssa, Eva, and Hayley,” said Alexander. “We’re not children that we will quietly go back with you, Alex,” said Alyssa defiantly. “We will return only after the wedding,” said Eva, her eyes challenging an angry Alexander, who looked angrier at her comment. “Sienna means more to us than your silly, immature enmity,” said Hayley, holding Ashton’s unwavering gaze.
