"Why did you come here dressed like this? I thought I bought a dress for you!!" Ethan's voice rang out, filled with irritation and frustration. Ashley looked around nervously before quickly covering Ethan's mouth with her palm, trying to shush him. "I am sorry, I misplaced the cloth..." she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. Grandpa Ben sat in the back, watching the exchange with a stern expression on his face. He had expected Ethan to arrive with his fiancé, and instead he was greeted with this madwoman. Ashley had known that borrowing money from Ethan's company was a risk, but desperate times call for desperate measures. She had two options: either marry the CEO to pay back her debt, or come up with the money by the next day. As she stood in front of Ethan, she couldn't help but feel like a fraud, knowing that the person he believed her to be was just a figment of her imagination. Now, with everything on the line, Ashley must decide whether to reveal the truth about her fake persona to Ethan and risk losing everything, or continue on living this lie.

A Million Little Lies Frustrated
Ethan opened his eyes, his surroundings unfamiliar. It soon became clear that he was in a hospital room. Frustration welled up within him as he realized that he despised being surrounded by crowds, a fact that Andrew seemed to know all too well and still forced him to go to the club with him . "You're awake," Andrew said with a smile before rushing out to call the doctor. Minutes later, the doctor arrived and conducted some tests on Ethan's body. "You're in good health now, but it seems you need to address your fear of crowds with a therapist," the doctor stated. Ethan, however, promptly stood up from the bed. "Thanks, but I don't require therapy," he replied curtly. The doctor tried to assert his authority, cautioning Ethan to rest for a while longer. Unperturbed, Ethan retorted, "You can't dictate what I should do," and proceeded to walk out of the hospital, determined to assert his independence. "He never listens," the doctor muttered under his breath. Just then, Ethan's phone
A Million Little Lies Club
Ethan P.O.V: I heard a voice call out to me, and I turned my head to see the woman from earlier chasing after me. Confusion washed over me as I wondered why she still wanted to talk. Hadn't we settled everything? She approached me, her tone filled with a mix of curiosity and uncertainty. "Excuse me, sir," she began, her words trailing off slightly as if searching for the right way to continue. I looked closely at her, struggling to place where I might know her from. "No, have we met before?" I asked, hoping for some clue that would jog my memory. I couldn't recall ever seeing her face, but maybe I was mistaken. She shook her head, denying any previous encounter. Briefly, she explained, "It's just that I am a good customer of this company." I couldn't help but let a small smile slip as I appreciated her loyalty. "Thanks for being a good customer. I'm sorry that I don't recognize you. It wasn't my fault," I responded, hoping to reassure her. Revealing the truth about my condition, I
A Million Little Lies Loan granted
ASHLEY P.O.V"I don't have anything with me apart from my ID," I replied, attempting to sound bold. But despite my best efforts, my voice betrayed me, coming out shaky instead. As I filled out the loan application, my hands trembled, making it difficult to write my name with confidence. Deep down, I knew my financial history was far from ideal, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of fear that the secretary would reject me outright. However, I couldn't afford to give up hope just yet. There had to be a chance, especially since I no longer owed them any money. Ethan had promised to clear my debt if I came to dinner with him, and I had faith that he, being a wealthy man, would uphold his word. It had been over a week since we last met, and I hadn't received a call from his darn company. That could only mean one thing: my name had been successfully cleared from their list of unreliable debtors. With a nervous yet determined expression, I stretched out the completed application towards the
A Million Little Lies No shame
"Yeah, thanks very much, I'll be expecting the pay," I replied with gratitude and a hint of excitement before I gently dropped the call. After a tiring day at the mall, I had come home to a pleasant surprise – a message from someone claiming to have a job for me. Knowing that I needed the money for pressing matters, my spirits soared. Looking back to the previous night, the memory of the unexpected phone conversation resurfaced.PREVIOUS NIGHT "Hello, am I speaking with Ms. Ashley?" the caller had inquired, their voice unfamiliar. "Yes, you've got Ms. Ashley," I responded cautiously, intrigued by the mysterious nature of the call. "I have a job for you," came the response, instantly capturing my attention and fueling my curiosity. "What sort of job are we talking about?" I questioned, eager to learn more about this enticing opportunity. "I'd like to discuss it in person. Could you kindly provide me with your house address?" the caller requested, their intention still hidden from
A Million Little Lies Penthouse
"Where are you coming from? And what happened to you?" Ryan asked with a concerned look on his face. I couldn't help but smile at his worried face. "The place isn't important. I guess I just needed to let out some tears, so don't mind me," I replied casually, attempting to downplay the situation. Shifting the subject to lighten the mood, I continued, "Anyway, what do you have in the house? I'm famished." Ryan chuckled dryly, most likely aware of his bachelor lifestyle. "You know I'm a bachelor, right? I don't have any food in the house. Let's order some food instead. What would you like to eat?" Taking a moment to consider my options, I replied, "Fried chicken and chips." Without skipping a beat, Ryan pulled out his phone to place the order."Wait!" I exclaimed, blinking my eyes like a baby, trying to capture Ryan's attention. "What did you want again?" he asked, slightly infuriate. "Can I get some Chinese dishes?" I requested, hoping to change up our food selection. Ryan scoffed
A Million Little Lies Disaster
Ashley povThe time for dinner came quickly. I was in the middle of curling my hair when Ethan called to remind me not to be late.Today is the day I'm going to meet with the famous Grandpa Greyson. Damn! I could feel my heart beating faster than usual.“I can do this!” I reassured myself before walking out of the house. The weather seemed a bit cloudy, so I grabbed my umbrella before walking down the street.Truth be told, I have no cash on me to make it there. That is why I prepared earlier than I was supposed to, so I could trek down there. Luckily for me, the address he sent was just an hour away if I'm to walk with my legs.Walking down the street, I could see eyes lurking around me and whispers from people talking about how beautiful I look. However, just as I was about to take the next route, I got surrounded by three thugs.“You are really pretty, do you want to spend a night with me? I will pay you five thousand dollars, what do you say?” One of the thugs with smoke in his mo
A Million Little Lies Dinner with the Grayson's
Ethan PovThe atmosphere in the dining room was getting more and more suffocating as we ate. Early this morning, Mr. Greyson, my grandfather, invited me for breakfast alongside my uncle, Jonathan.I couldn't eat anything but found myself stabbing the steak in my plate while glaring hard at Jonathan. Oh sweet lord, how much I wish he was the one on my plate other than the steak.Grandpa knew too well that Jonathan and I never got along, so why did he have to call us both over? Was he trying to play some sort of game? Or did he call to announce the company being handed over to Jonathan?I was way too curious that I simply stared at my grandfather as he ate hastily. Just then Jonathan cleaned his mouth with a wipe and I knew he was about to say something.“The meal is so delicious father, it reminds me of the old days when Ethan's parents were still alive,” he said with a smile, and my grandfather who was in the middle of twirling a few strands of spaghetti into a ball halted and wiped h
A Million Little Lies Should I marry or not?
Ashley pov“Marry me!” he said in a commanding tone and I scoffed within. What the hell was wrong with him? And who does he think he is?Although he looks classy, that doesn't give him the right to stop a lady and ask her to marry him right away. It doesn't make any sense in every sense but he seems not to understand that.“Sir, I think you must be drunk, so I will let it lie and forgive you,” I said nonchalantly and tried to walk out on him, nonetheless, his next words stopped me on my track.“Do you know who I am?” He asked gently as he fixed his gaze on mine, once again. I look into his eyes, not sure how I'll get used to the intensity behind his stare, and shake my head.“No...not at all but I'm well aware that you must be drunk,” I say and see a smirk displayed on his face. This man terrified and intrigued me for just a few seconds, and it was already making my head spin.“From what I have heard, you seem to be owing my company a lot of money. And in case you don't know, I'm not
A Million Little Lies Get married Ethan
Ethan povI arrived at the penthouse pretty much earlier than I had anticipated. Not the least bothered about parking my car in the right way even though I knew it was against the rule, I quickly alighted from my bugatti veyron and made my way inside the penthouse.I was too angry to do anything right, way too angry! I can not believe that my grandfather would have made such a hasty decision regarding the company without me at that!I arrived at the secretary's desk and asked for my grandfather but she said to make an appointment and come back later. I understood her statement because she couldn't recognize me.Early this morning, I woke up with two pimples on my face. One at my forehead and the other one close to my lips. Because of that, I had to wear a nose mask and a baseball cap.Flustered enough, I swiftly removed the nose mask from my face and she froze immediately. Although she was trying to act strong, I could see the fear in her eyes.“Mr chairman...” she stuttered as her bo
