=ASHLEY's POV=Since I came to the office I haven’t talked to Asher. Sometimes he calls me to ask a question and when I hear his voice I can’t help but be nervous. I don't know, after what he did last night I feel like he's a threat to me.Like anytime he can hurt me. I can no longer find that I am safe with him like before. I feel like anytime I can be damned with him.I saw that he kept looking at me. But he doesn't speak anything unrelated to work so I don't move either. I don't know what's running on his mind. Maybe he's thinking something bad against me or he's looking for some mistake in my movement again so he can find a reason to hurt me.He's thinking how can he punish me again so he was looking at my moves.I am confused. I feel like, even standing, sitting, or whatever I do, he is watching me so that he can find a reason to be angry with me.I'm scared of him. What he did to me last night I feel like he won't hesit

Ley set on the table while facing Asher."I still love Hunter, so I asked myself again, and accepted him back. Now we're both happy with our twins. But you, you didn't find out the truth. Hunter is better than you because he knows how to admit wrong and know the truth even though he knows he will be hurt.""Stop it, Ley, because you know nothing. Especially for what I've been through when she left me," Asher says while gritting his teeth. "She cheated on me and she went with the other. She hurt me repeatedly." But Ley only smiles at him."First, don't tell me what I am going to say. Second, I will say everything I want to say. Third, funny, honestly, you won't lose Ashley if you follow her and look for her. If you know what really happened to her and why she left. You are supposedly happy today. A family, because I know you can still accept her despite everything. There is no mistress here clinging at you." Then she looks at Paula."She chose to leave so

=ASHER's POV=Right after Ashley came out, Paula immediately approached me."Is it true what you said to Hailey, Asher? Is it true that you're still ready to go back to that woman after what she did to you? Does it mean you can leave me anytime so you can go back to her?"I didn't answer Paula's question. I cannot tell her the truth because I didn't want to hurt her. "Tell me." She slapped me on the chest repeatedly but I just kept quiet.I never felt anything for her. But she didn't show me anything bad. When Ashley left me she was always by my side. I forced my heart to love her but I really felt nothing for her. Yes, I used Paula to forget Ashley and I also use her now to make Ashley jealous."I need to think, Pau," I said calmly."Think of what? What are you going to tell me that I can't get hurt, huh?! You still love her, right?""Pau, please, calm down,""Tell me what on you're fucking mind?!""I am sorry, please d

BECAUSE I HAD NOTHING to do, I decided to go to the hospital to visit Charles. There are still three hours for visiting hours so I can still stay there.I was right in front of the hospital, I looked around first to make sure no one was following me. I didn't notice anything different so I went straight inside.I caught nana fixing Charles things."Nana," I called."Oh, why are you here?""Asher allowed me to go home early and was not included in the meeting.""Are you alright?" she asked then give me water."Yes, Magdalena, where is she?" I asked when I couldn't see Magda."Hailey came and brought some things she took Magda because she said there is a lot of things to bring her." Magdalena is a housemaid of the Amaranth family. She is nana's niece and nana introduced her to Ley, but because of what happened, Ley sent her to nana to take care of Charles."Ley and I met at Asher's office." She stopped and then looked at m

"Is it true, Ashley, why don't you answer?" Agatha asked me which I am unable to answer because I am afraid of what might happen once she found out the truth. "Answer me, I am begging you to tell me the truth," She begged."Agatha," I tearfully called her name as I remained bent over. "I am sorry,""So, it's a yes?""Please leave, Agatha, and pretend that you didn't see anything.""I will tell Asher if you don't tell me the truth. I will let him know about what Nana said,""NO! Please no,""Then answer me, what nana said is true?""Yes." I nodded in response. "It's all true." Then I looked up to meet his gaze. I saw her holding her chest while crying. Nana approached her and supported her."This is not true, you're lying," she said then looked at Charles. "Tell me you lied,""Please, I'm begging you not to tell Asher the truth, please Agatha, please,""Tell me first that you lied?""I wish I am, I wish what
