The moment Ashley shouted, Everyone started gushing into the room both the securities and servants. They wanted to see the intruder who dared to enter the Elrod's mansion.
But once they came in, they all stood still…Tony went forward to help the young man she pushed so hard to rise to his feet." Are you okay? Tony asked while lending his hands for him to stand up." What are you doing?! He is an intruder! Aren't you going to arrest him or something?!Ashley gasped, she didn't apprehend while they were not doing anything."Seems you got it wrong ma'am " Tony had already helped the young man to his feet but he still held his waist, the push earlier hit him hard."Who is he and what is he doing in my room and on the bed! Ashley folded her hands around her chest. " is he a pervert or something "The other servants who stood there started murmuring and turning their gazes at each other." Ma'am, you are…… Tony tried to explain."Enough! The young man raised his hand. " I will take it from here" He demanded and moved closer to Ashley.He was shirtless and it showed off his abs, while he shifted near Ashley, she found herself drooling all over him. She had never been this close to a Greek god! His eyes, his lips, his pointed nose, it was giving everything!"God, I'm going to have a heart attack for a pervert! She said those words in her mind and maintained composure."I'm Jason and you? Jason stretched out his hands for a formal introduction."Ash… Alexis, yes Alexis " she spoke out, almost confusing the name she was given."I don't care who you are, why were you lying on my bed? Ashley adjoined, without bothering to return the handshake. There hasn't been any explanation or apology yet."He is your husband" A voice came from the back and everyone turned their heads. It was Mr Reyes Elrod, he rolled his wheelchair in."What?! " Ashley wasn't sure if he heard him clearly."Yes, you heard me right, " Reyes uttered."But…. Ashley made a move to defend the fact that he wasn't the one she wedded."No buts! You are betrothed to him." Reyes declared and spun his wheelchair and left the room and Tony and the other servants followed.Ashley appeared stunned, she didn't know if she should feel delighted or sad.But learning that she wasn't betrothed to an old crippled man but a handsome dude made her blush without even knowing."You better apologise for labelling me a pervert earlier" Jason spoke out while he sat down on the bed." About that, ….. " Ashley also sat " I'm sorry, cool now right? Ashley questioned while she stared into his cute grey eyes."Yeah sure " Jason grinned, he emerged as a less troublesome man."But why didn't you show up at the wedding? Ashley got curious when everywhere became silent."I couldn't make it, the flight was delayed." Jason spun around to face her, he was still shirtless. Even though it was their first time meeting, Everything about him was so cute.Ashley couldn't get enough of it. But she swallowed hard and asked him."Haven't you been in the city? While looking away from him, she didn't want to continue staring; she might leave a hole in his body."It's a long story, but yes I haven't been around " Jason gently answered. " but you pushed me hard earlier, it hurt like hell. You should consider giving me a massage" Jason added and touched his waist."Whose fault was it? You scared me " Ashley folded her arms."You held me tight earlier, you were drooling all over, right? Jason touched his hair exuding a magnificent Aura."Yes, I mean no " Ashley didn't know when that word came out of her mouth but indeed she admired him.Jason grinned "You even kissed my forehead, I was shocked you know, that's sexual harassment" he pointed at her and jokingly said.Ashley blushed and Jason seemed pleased to see her smile. A knock came at their door, and Ashley went over to open the door."Ma'am, sir, Mr Reyes wants you to come down" The maiden who stepped in and interrupted their conversation conveyed her message.Jason has not been in Berlin city for long, he was the only son of his parents. He was sent away for protection when he turned 15.But his father wanted him to come home and take over the company as the CEO. He didn't waste time getting a wife for him.On the day of the wedding, Jason was on a flight and that caused the delay prompting Reyes to stand in, but without proper procedures. What mattered to him the most was the wedding certificate.Ashley and Jason were seated at the dining table with Reyes.They were served with a lot of dishes and Ashley didn't even know where to start.But she took her cutlery and started devouring each meal, salivating on each bolus.When Jason watched her, he didn't realise a smile left his lips. Was she always that hungry?"Jason, you both will go and get your marriage certificate today," Reyes instructed while cutting his steak." Alright Dad" Jason took a glass of pineapple juice and sipped down."You would resume your duty in the company immediately. Alexis, you don't need to work, you can stay here and take care of things. Jason would provide anything you need " Reyes beamed a smile and continued with his meal.Ashley was taken aback by that decision so she decided to fight for herself."I'm sorry but I will have to oppose that, I would like to work, I'm already working" Reyes became a bit amazed, Even Jason.They heard from their investigation Alexis didn't want to do anything but should be treated like a princess. Was she different from the Alexis they asked about?"you are working? weren't you meant to be in law school?Reyes inquired while his eyes stayed glued at her.Now Ashley had to cover that up, Even Jason gazed at her.She slowly brought down her cutlery to the table."I gave up law school, I just work part-time and I Love it" She replied, hoping for that to cover whatever curiosity they had.Though Reyes wasn't satisfied, he felt the investigator he sent might be wrong.Maybe the investigation wasn't right." Sure you can" Reyes didn't plan on opposing that."Thanks" Ashley took a glass of water to sip."And I want you both to give me an heir soon! Reyes announced and Ashley choked on the water she was sipping.Her cheeks flushed and she was instantly hot.Ashley went upstairs, not believing her ears. Mr Reyes was already prompting them about a baby when she just became the wife yesterday. He seems to be in a hurry.She hasn't even gotten the time to know Jason more and he already began talking about an heir.She did have an intention to engage in a divorce once her mom regained stability. But things are getting complicated now.The older man isn't her husband and he wanted an heir. Suddenly she started burning again. The thought of having a baby with Jason made her hot."Are we going to be sleeping together? Ashley used her hand to fan herself as an indication that she felt hot.Jason grinned "You seem so nervous about it, relax" Jason pulled off his trousers after he stood up from the bed.Ashley shut her eyes without hesitation " Hey!! I was right about you being a pervert! She angrily said while using her left hand to cover her eyes.Jason busted out a laugh." What is so funny, haha " Ashley still held her hand on her eyes." Aren'
Even as Ashley saw Jason on TV, she was utterly confused. Had he been a celebrity? But he hasn't been in the city. When she saw that Louisa was also blushing and smiling from ear to ear she decided to go and wash up and later come back to satisfy her curiosity. It is already 2:00 p.m., the time for them to get off work. Ashley wished to see her mom so badly."Here… '' Louisa stretched out her hand and handed over the fancy bag that contained Ashley's clothes, she did that as soon as she came out of the restroom. Louisa lingered around for her in front of the restroom door to wash up." That b*itch, I will pull out all her hairs next time " Louisa gritted her teeth and this made Ashley giggle."She is just lucky she came to our workplace otherwise she won't have a single strand of her remaining!" Louisa exclaimed and her eyes filled with disdain for Alexis. Ashley grinned again " Thank you, Louisa, you have always stood by me. What am I going to do without you?"With this, she ente
Earlier that day after Jason dropped Ashley off. He went over to the office to resume work. He called Tony, the head security to run a thorough background check on the Cooker family.Reyes had already announced him as the CEO that will continue the business.When Jason stayed in New York out of boredom he started sports and took training for soccer though he never really took it seriously he made a name with his gorgeous and handsome face. Girls could literally go crazy trying to get a picture with him or his autograph. But now he is back to take over his inheritance. Carlos, the assistant assigned to him, had listed out his schedule and meetings to him.He also made sure that his comeback was announced in the news and that he officially resigned from soccer. Carlos sent out tips, it didn't waste time for it to appear in the articles. Bloggers he tipped off were doing their work. Reporters swarmed JJ group, and Jason was asked a few questions. He officially made it clear to the c
Jason raged and rushed to Mr Thompson, he forcefully jerked his hands out of Ashley's body." Who the hell are you!" Mr Thompson fumed as he rose from the bed. He hasn't heard the news yet and has no clue about Jason." I'm her husband, you monster!" Jason hurried over to Ashley and hauled her into his arms as he made his way out.Mr Thompson scampered out, following him and his eyes met with almost ten guys in suits. There were all Jason's guards including Tony. Mr Thompson hastily recognized Tony and he knew they were from Elrod's family.All the guards queued out after Jason. Jared and Elena were still outside when Jason barged into the mansion. Mr Thompson's guards couldn't stop him because he came around with a whole lot of his.Jared and Elena's mouths went agape when the whole thing happened. They stood there like frozen chicken. They were not acquainted with social media and they were too busy plotting to get Ashley to Mr Thompson that they didn't go through their phone or li
Jason's voice was so loud that Ashley had to fall back and landed on the floor. The servants rushed in. Tony immediately hurried over to the gas cooker and switched it off since it was still on.Tony sent everyone out including Ashley. A few moments later, Jason came out and went upstairs without saying a word to anybody.Ashley was shocked, she still wasn't able to grasp the whole situation. But she knew she saw Jason in his worst state. She couldn't go upstairs she was still kind of scared. Jason was so scary earlier.She went to the maiden's quarters and asked for Natasha.Natasha didn't hesitate to run to her as she requested for her."Do you know what might be wrong with him? She asked." I'm sorry ma'am, I do not have any clue, we weren't even aware that Mr Reyes had a son, we just saw him for the first time on your wedding night and we were told that he is the only child Mr Reyes had, the only maiden who might have a clue had already retired" Natasha responded."Alright, I'm
Ashley went straight to the hospital, even though it was already getting late. Tony was with her and Sam drove them there.Ashley went in and met her mom. But she forgot to ask Tony to wait outside." Ashley, what is going on? Who are these people? Margaret asked with a weak voice.Ashley gave Tony a sign to leave the ward. But Tony went further and whispered words to her.Ashley gasped and nodded before Tony quietly left."Mom, you will be getting the surgery soon " Ashley beamed a smile and stretched out her hands to wrap her Mom's own." Really dear?, did your dad later comply to giving me the money?" Margaret asked and a smile left her face.Ashley frowned, but she didn't know how she was to explain everything to her mom so she wound up saying " Mom, God provided the money, the best thing is for you to get operated on " Ashley grinned while her gaze stayed glued on her mom.Margaret widely extended her arms for a hug and pulled Ashley into her chests and both of stayed in a mothe
Louisa laughed out heavily, following Ashley's narration." It is not funny you know, " Ashley placed her hand in front of her face and bowed her hand in shame." it is okay Ash, he is your husband by the way isn't he? " Louisa said, unable to control her giggle." jeezz, husband indeed," Ashley shrugged." Are you letting your dad off the hook? " he should be taught a lesson for messing with you, allow your husband to sue him, you are so kind-hearted " Louisa prodded her with a frown." He is still my father and I don't want trouble, since it no longer happens I would just let it slide" Ashley sagged in deep breath.They were already through with their work shift and now seated in a coffee shop where Ashley conveyed what she experienced in a few days with Louisa.But while they were at it, Ashley didn't realise that the people in the coffee shop had been gazing at her and murmuring words but it became obvious when two couples stepped in and whispered words to each other and she over
Jason wanted to wait till the next day to announce their marriage, but seeing Ashley humiliated because of him, he put it to himself to rectify the issue." Sir, it's already late. I think we should wait till tomorrow, " Carlos said, trying to convince him." Do you think that's better?" Jason questioned giving it a thought." Yeah, it is best if you would announce it with her by your side, I could call for a press conference too and you can also reveal your plans and visions for JJ group" Carlos informed.Jason gave it a thought and agreed. He had not held a press conference about the business yet. He is sure people are eager to know how he will handle the business." Okay, arrange for the press conference tomorrow, I will give Tony a call to see if Ashley's home. "Okay sir" Carlos made his way back to the office.Jason felt awful for the way Ashley was treated, he just needed to announce their marriage and put an end to the drama.He took out his phone to call Tony, but a call sudd
