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
The Doctor let out a heavy sigh." Miss Cooker, the surgery was successful, we just have to keep praying for her to wake up, this kind of surgery usually takes 24 hours or some days or even weeks for the patient to wake up, and the case of your Mom was an emergency one, let's give her some time and see the improvement " The doctor replied and dashed out to his office.Jason saw Ashley's worried expression, he held her hand "She will be fine, okay? " Ashley looked up to him and nodded feebly in affirmation.The time was already 2:00 a.m., and the surgery took up to nine hours.Ashley returned to the seat and sat down leaning back to the seat while Jason joined her." It is remaining a few hours till morning, we have a press conference to attend today" Jason informed the moment he sat down." What?! " Ashley exclaimed in surprise." Yes, we have to clarify the issue so that people would understand, it is extremely my fault for not doing that earlier" Jason turned to Ashley who seemed sho
