Vincent
“Heather?” I asked him.
“Yes! She is the one who sent me all those photos and made me believe all the lies. And I came to know you two were working together!”
“We were but not this!” I yelled at the wrong accusation. “The only thing I made her do was to bring Lara!”
“Do we believe him?” He looked at Ashley. I raged as he referred to him and Ash as ‘we’.
“There is no ‘we’ in us” She swiftly said and a small smile appeared on my lips. “and yes, I believe him”
“Damn!” He pulled her but I pulled her back and she landed on my chest. “She is not a toy that you are snatching her like that!”
“Same goes for you! She believed me, Vincent. You know I mean more to her!”
“There’s nothing like this, Vincent…” I heard her whisper.
&ldqVincent“How are you so sure?” I asked him.“It is her hand writing” he threw the note on the floor. “I’ll help you in finding Lara”“Why would you?”“Maybe because I hate Heather” he went out of the house.I picked up the note just in case I needed it later on and then followed him out. He gave me an earphone. “Sure you know how to use it”“Yes”He nodded and went to his car. I wore the earpiece.“can you hear me?” I heard him through the earpiece. “Yes”“Great. You should follow my car, I will take you to her place”“Fine”I knew that he really did hate Heather, so I decided to believe him on this. Whatever the case maybe, I will handle it.“What are we gonna do?” I asked as I sat down in my car and followed his’.&
VincentI was completely shocked when I heard the news. I looked at Ashley as she desperately looked at me and asked, “What happened?”I was not in the state to let her know anything. I held her back here and promised that she would be okay. I couldn’t believe it and even it was hurting because she was my sister-in-law, but I was scared that Ashley would hate me now.What if she really does hate me? she would go around and say that it was my fault.I was more concerned about the fact that the happiness on her face would fade.“Hello? What happened?” She waved her hand in front of me and I looked sideways. She had to know it anyway, so I handed the phone to her.She looked at me and then at the screen, the call was still ongoing.She kept it near her ears and heard. she should have realised what happened.I was scared to know her reaction, so I kept my head down. After a
ChrisI started searching for Lara’s dad. I was shocked when I heard the news. I don’t know why Heather killed her.I told my men to find him. As soon as someone found his location, he sent me. “He is staying in a house near the countryside”“Okay, I will talk to him,” I replied to him and he sent me his location.I was still in a dilemma about what really was going on with our lives.I reached him and talked to him. He was disheartened when he heard the news. But in the end, he agreed to visit.I said the same to Ashley via message.-----AshleyI was scared to meet him, but I had to. Soon, I saw him coming to the hospital and I took him out with me.“Hello,” I said to him.“Hello. Are you… Ashley?”“Yes”“Oh…
AshleyI was with Lara. I had no idea about where Vincent must be. I just hope that Chris finds him. Maybe that could mend all the things.It was gonna be night soon. I thought of having a small nap, it could help me.I suddenly received a call from Chris.I picked it up as my excitement reached its peak. Maybe he found him.“hey? Did you find him?” I asked him.“Yes. I found him. But he is not very good…”“What? Where is he?” I asked. “I will send you the location”“Okay”The call ended, but I was worried sick. Why was he not well? What happened?I went out and then at the location he sent. I was scared, as well as happy too. Maybe I will be with him forever, but he should explain to me why he left!I parked my car in front of the location. It was an abandoned house.I ran inside and saw Chris just as
AshleyI had enough reasons to cry. But I didn’t, because I wanted to give a last try to my job.I packed my things as Lara wished for me to win. “Bye, Lara,” I said while taking my phone off the charger.“Bye. Good luck, sis”“Thank you” I left the house taking my suitcase and took a cab for the airport.I am Ashley Jones. I had been a good girl, but not a lucky one. I had been kicked out of my last job and had voluntarily left the preceding
AshleyI woke up and checked the time on the watch that hung on the wall. It was still 6:55 AM and I could sleep peacefully for another five minutes. I swear I will wake up after 5 minutes, I am very sleepy.I dozed off for another nap as laziness took control over my brain and the next time I opened my eyes, fear engulfed me.God, please tell me that I slept only five minutes…I looked up at the same watch that showed me the time… 7:34 AM.
Ashley“Get ready for your task one” he smirked and I nodded.“Follow me” he ordered and I followed him as he led us to some distinct corner. He looked at the small sensor at the corner of the door and it opened. It was… iris recognition.We went inside and trust me, it all felt like I am doing some high-level FBI work.As I stepped inside, he stopped. “You have completely five minutes, find the 56th desktop, and write an email convincing Mr. Houston to agree to 6% shares other than 10%. Only one chance, no mistakes accepted and yes”, he looked at me. “I mean it”Before my brain was able to process any doubts, he left the room. Five minutes, girl.I looked at the room. It was very big, more like a
Ashley“Lower the blinds of the window, Ash” he ordered me.“Okay,” I agreed and lowered them.He called me towards him.“Here. See this. This is the most confidential document of this company, I am showing you this so,” I looked at him. “I trust you” I looked at the laptop screen.I nodded.“I am only showing you cause I need you to study this and know about our strengths and weaknesses. I want you to be aware of our capabilities. Only you are allowed to read and see this. No one, and I mean not another soul should know this”I nodded. “Okay, sir”“And Ash” I again looked at him. “Don’t lower the blinds just because someone told you to. You can’t possibly trust anyone, i
