100 Nights Contract with Mr.CEO의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

Ashley's POV:He opens the door, and throws me inside like I'm some piece of furniture that he didn't even want in the first place… but because of some reason, he can't deny the utility and get rid of it.I stumble into the room and grab the first thing I can to support myself; because my head is spinning in circles. I'm standing, leaning against the back of a couch, still trying to process what has happened in the span of an hour… or even the last few minutes? After so many days, I was finally feeling like I wasn't an oddity, like I didn't only want to remain stuck in the past where I felt safe and cherished, but like I also had something to look forward to. I had finally found someone, after what felt like an eternity, who was ready to hear my voice and was interested in my business ideas, without asking for any favors… I had finally found someone who knew my parents and appreciated their hard work, unlike everyone around me who had seemed to have forgotten them and their contrib

Ashley's POV:I wake up to find an empty bed, a sore body and broken soul with me.I feel my eyes burning with tears that refuse to be shed, when I'm bombarded by the memories of last night.Last night for me, was what people could compare with being worse than rotting in the hellfire… Ethan's actions and his words have done a great job in breaking my body and soul from the core, perfectly.I look around, trying to find any trace of any human presence there… but there is nothing, apart from my torn dress that I had stripped off myself last night.The silence in the room seems to be taunting me, screaming the reality of how I myself have ruined my life completely… by handing over all the power to someone who knows how to destroy his opponents by shattering them into a million pieces.I get off the bed, and slowly start to gather whatever is left behind; a few tears and the garment that is clearly not able to save me from the burning disgust inside my heart.Ethan… he was really mad at

Ashley's POV:The last two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and I did nothing at all in these two days since I returned from Tiffany's home.Has there been a sense of fear and anxiety lurking in my heart, that I'm going to get a call from Ethan at any moment now, summoning me to come and satisfy his needs, his desires and sell my soul in return for the huge favor he is doing to me? Yes, I have barely been able to sleep… not to mention the number of times I wake up gasping and terrified that I have missed a call from him and now, I'll have to pay dearly for it. But have I missed him…? Hell yes! The most painful experience of my entire life is that no matter what happened and what Ethan has done to me, I still can't hate him… forget that, I'm not even able to stop myself from missing him! Although, one thing was certain in my mind: I don't want that night to be repeated, not at any cost… but I also know that it isn't in my hands anymore, because I have signed away the right

Ashley's POV:I can't… I can't tell him who did this to me. Even though I really want to tell him, tell someone about what happened to me, but I can't. I don't want to make a fool of myself, because I know there is no one who will take me at my word and believe me without any questions. And right now, I'm afraid that if I have to answer just one more question, I'll crumble… So what's the point of telling him anyway…?I muster the courage to speak again, ignoring Ethan's hot breaths against my skin, which are doing a great job in messing with my head; and he knows it. This contract thing has gotten out of hand long ago, and I spotted the first sign of the upcoming disaster back when I first started to feel pleasure in his company.But that night, he made it very clear, about what to expect and what not… and I am not someone to make the same mistake twice.“I can't–”“What can't you do, dear? Is it hurting so much that you can't even decipher it, sweetheart…?”He gently pushes some s

Ashley's POV: “How can you do this? Who do you think you are, to show such blatant disrespect towards everyone here? We have been respecting you because of your name in the business world and your business ethics, it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want!”Lucas snaps as soon as he hears Ethan's words. To be honest, I already saw it coming, but regardless of that, I am really amazed by Ethan's boldness. Not only has he ripped every paper out of the file presented as the company's report, but he has also claimed that he will change everything, from the bottom to the very top. In front of everyone, like a challenge! I can really never understand this man… no one can! Of course, this has rattled Lucas so much that he has gone on a rant, without realizing that Ethan's glare means he should shut up for his own betterment.“You don't even have the majority of the shares to make decisions. Then how can you even say something–”“Before you say anything further, Lucas, let me remi
