Christopher Barclay waited for Ashton in his study the next day when Hayley was at work. Knowing his hardworking nature and level of intelligence, he too wanted Ashton to handle Barclay International. “Why have you called him, Chris?” asked her mom, sitting down with her husband. “I hope you aren’t considering him for Hails?” “No, Carol. Relax. I just want him to work for us.” “Why? I don’t want him around Hails. He will manipulate her mind and she’ll never consider Jason,” said Caroline Barclay bitterly. She had seen Ashton once at a social gathering long ago, to which the entire Van Every family was invited. She hated the sight of the tattooed guy, who looked like a misfit among them. Therefore, it was natural that she preferred Jason, who tried to impress her when they met at charity events. “You’re overreacting, Carol. Ashton isn’t the type to manipulate Hayley. Despite his rough exterior, he’s quite a polished and well-behaved boy.” “You can keep your opinions to yourself, C

Ashton waited patiently for Hayley outside her gate. He wanted to go inside and get her but her mom’s words echoed in his mind and he stayed in the car. Hayley peered at him from her balcony and rushed inside. Under the streetlights, Ashton saw her looking hot in a black dress that clung to her curves. He couldn’t wait to hold her in his arms tonight. Soon the wicket gates opened and Hayley emerged with a shy smile on her face. With her thick shiny hair bouncing at every step she took, her curvaceous figure swaying tantalizingly as she walked towards him, Ashton was drowned in her beauty. His body started revolting against his decision to go away. Why should he, when Hayley confessed her love for him? Why would he step down because of her mother? Her opinions didn’t matter to him because he hardly knew her. What mattered to him was Hayley’s feelings. If she wanted him to stay, he would. Ashton got down to open the door for her. “Thanks. I was dreading the drive!” she said breathless

Throughout dinner, there was a verbal battle between Beatrix and Eva. They all supported Eva against Beatrix's constant jabs. Alyssa looked upset, since it was her birthday treat and it wasn’t what she wanted. “Why did we come here, Alex? You should have tried the food at Hudson Skyview. The food is to die for. It’s a hot favorite amongst all celebrities. You won’t believe it, the famous actor Tom Duncan wanted to purchase the place. I was present when he made the offer,” laughed Beatrix, but no one seemed to be interested in her talks. “We are no celebrities. So this is fine for us. I actually love the food here,” said Alyssa with a fake smile. “I understand,” said Beatrix, giving her a sympathetic look. “So, Eva, you’re a nurse, right? I’m sure you’ve never seen a place such as this in your life.” “Yes, I’m a nurse. Saving lives, and nurturing people to health, is my priority in life, Beatrix. So answering your question, no, I’ve never been here or to your celebrity place. I’m

The movie was wonderful, but his nearness distracted Hayley right from the beginning. The kiss had her yearning for more.

What if she didn’t see him again?After some time, she sighed and turned towards him only to find him staring back at her. “Enjoying yourself?” he asked her, leaning a little towards her. “No. And you?” He smiled at her honest reply, but slowly shook his head. “Wanna go somewhere else?” he stretched, eager to get going. “Yes.” They wrapped up the blanket and closed the trunk space. Climbing back into the car, they drove off, unaware of a pair of jealous eyes following them everywhere they went. This time, Ashton didn’t go anywhere in particular. He turned into a blind lane off the main street and parked his car. “So, don’t you like movies anymore? You girls were crazy

The next day, Hayley kept calling him to ensure that he was well. Ashton spent the entire day at home, not stepping out in case Antonio and his men grabbed hold of him. A nagging fear crept into his heart but he couldn’t hide for long. A simple phone call from an unknown number disrupted his mental peace. “Hello!” he croaked into the phone.“Pierce, come over immediately to Don's mansion. He wants to meet you,” said a male voice that was unfamiliar. Who could it be?“Who’s speaking?” he demanded agitatedly. “Kingsley here. You better turn up or I’ll capture your bi*ch.” He abruptly disconnected the call but Ashton couldn’t help the feeling of dread that crept into his heart. Why did Kingsley call him instead of Antonio? “Ashton, come over for lunch,” said Jodie Van Every. He went over to the dining table and found his Uncle Daniel watching the television. He sat down beside him and watched the news, too. “Justice for you, Ashton. This morning, the CBI captured Antonio Lombardi,

Everyone froze, since no one knew what would happen now. Hayley’s eyes flew towards Ashton’s and he winked, a sly smile spreading across his face. It made her instantly wary, as Madison’s words echoed in her head. It was true she wanted him to be here, but what if he was here to take her away? No, she wouldn’t leave without attending Sienna’s wedding.
