Alina is a shy type when it comes to relationships. She always feels insecure about herself, and it only gets worse when her ex called her fat.She never believed that's how he saw her, like, for all the years they have been together, that was the only thing he kept on blabbering about. It didn't end there, he tried making her stop eating, just to make her reduce in size. It's not like she was eating too much, it's just her nature, her born size but he never saw that.At the end of the long compromise, he finally breaks up with her.That alone left her devastated, with the mindset that no one will ever admire her and talk less of loving her because of her size.She stares at Ashley, with teary eyes. Her past was something she just couldn't get rid of but at least, it's better to try than refuse and later on regret it.Ashley moves to her side and hugs her, She is the only one she's got. And she can't just watch her, run away from the relationship just because of the bullshit the ass

"How is she, doctor? Is she going to be fine? Tell me she's going to be fine!" Her endless questions left the doctor confused about which to answer first.He pulls off his nose marks. He seems to be contemplating for a long time before saying"Your daughter is fine, stable for now, she's under monitor... We can't guarantee the best but we will do our best to keep her alive" he said. His gaze travels to Ashley by the side.He frowns, "Ashley!!" He calls out stunning the girl whose attention was on the crying lady. Upon raising her head, she was met with his white eyes staring back at her. Her brows twist in confusion, he looks so familiar but she can't ever remember meeting him.As if figuring out her doubt, he said "Aston, from college " just then, the lines on her face brightens up as a smile formed on her beautiful lips."Long time, how have you been" she tries to make her voice normal, she was indeed happy to see him. She can't remember the last time she saw any of her friends fro

Jolly's face was red like an apple, with lines of fingers visible on her cheeks.Aston could only watch the scene playing before him in awe. He never knew Ashley could be this bold and daring. He's always seen her as a weak and innocent type but now he knows better than to try her."What do you seek from me, Jolly?" Ashley asked "what right do you have to condemn me? Are you not satisfied with making my life hell? What more do I have to offer to get you pest out of my way?" .She burst into laughter, a mockery one. " Oh! I see... You just can't stand seeing me happy, didn't know the almighty princess Jolly could be jealous of a mere commoner like me, a maid like myself" Her once laughing face returned to its cold and stern one, sending chills of death all over the place. "Listen and listen good, I won't tolerate any outrageous behaviour from you, ever again ... Learn your place and stay in your lane as I happily do the same with mine. " She takes three strides to her, " but if y

"Do you like it?" Ashley asked, "or should I give you the tangerines?".The little girl didn't respond and quietly soak away the juice as she struggles to squeeze it with her tiny hands.She blinks at Ashley when she was unable to make it soft.Ashley understood as she help her out."Thank you" the little girl's voice was soft and soothing to the ears. It came out as a whisper but Ashley heard it due to how close they were.She flashes a sweet smile as she peels on the third.All through, they never spoke again. One after the other, her little Pumpkin ate all the oranges leaving the tangerines and grapefruit fruits which she happily ate.By the time she was done attending to her little Pumpkin, it was already ten thirty in the morning and she had to get going so she will be able to come back later in the evening.With that, she bade her goodbye to Selene and went on.Alina was not at home when she arrived.Without delay, She took her bath and quickly prepared something which she ate

Aston was so happy. He's always had this big crush on Ashley while they were still in college but was never able to tell her.The last time he heard, she was married and now, she is here. Though he knows nothing about her marriage life, he believes he has a change with her. He buckles up his sleeves, arranging his shirt and then his hair before exiting his office."What took you so long?" Ashley complains "it's been over an hour since you left" she sighs, faking a tired face.Aston laughs. "Pardon me," he said. " Had to look my absolute best before you" he winks at her, "won't want to lose my chance"Ashley rolls her eyes, "spare me that shit!" She laughs. "Let's get going or I will see to it you never get that chance," she said, laughing.To her, it was a playful something but to Aston, it was way more serious than ever.His smile widens, "I better make most of the time then" he said "life waits for no one" his voice was too low for Ashley to get him clear.The duo walk out, chatt
