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. Lucas and Nicholas went forward to deal with their enemies while the others watched worriedly.“What brings you here, Alexander and Ashton?” asked Lucas, with a grave look on his face. “We won’t cause you any problems. We’ve just come to take away Alyssa, Eva, and Hayley,” said Alexander. “We’re not children that we will quietly go back with you, Alex,” said Alyssa defiantly. “We will return only after the wedding,” said Eva, her eyes challenging an angry Alexander, who looked angrier at her comment. “Sienna means more to us than your silly, immature enmity,” said Hayley, holding Ashton’s unwavering gaze. He raised an eyebrow at her
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Fifty-Nine - A Love Letter For Him
Ashton rushed after her, catching up with her. No, he couldn’t let her get away with misunderstanding him. With just one night to meet her, he couldn’t let the opportunity go. He was surprised that Madison had cornered her when she knew exactly where he was. He himself was at his wit’s end when he received her call stating that she was planning to move to Miami for him. She knew he was working in Hotel Bayview. He didn’t know how she found out when he hadn’t informed a soul! In fact, he hadn’t even switched on his old phone for fear of it being tapped. Her sudden phone call actually baffled him. How did she know his new number when he hadn’t even given it to Hayley? Everything was really confusing.Before Hayley could reach the cubicle elevator, he took longer strides and grabbed hold of her. “Let me go, Ashton,” she hissed angrily. “Never,” stated Ashton, picking her up on his shoulder and going back to her room. She struggled against his hold, but he didn’t release her. “Stop str
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Sixty - Was This The End Of Her Love Story?
Ashton paced the terrace furiously as he spoke to the administrative staff of Hotel Bayview. “Why did you allow her inside my penthouse in my absence, Mr. David?” said Ashton, shocked by their behavior. When his administrative staff informed him that Madison had arrived there with her luggage, demanding to stay there, Ashton saw red. She claimed to be his fiancée, and they gave her access to his penthouse. It infuriated him since there was no trusting Madison. He didn’t want her to get access to any of his personal stuff. “She claimed to be your fiancée, and it was almost 2 o’clock in the night when she arrived, sir. We couldn’t call you to confirm.” “Give her a separate room immediately. She isn’t my fiancée and neither is she a good friend.” Ashton calmed down a little but he was in a rush to return to Miami now. He had to check if Madison had tampered with his personal stuff. Why else would she pull such a stunt when he had explicitly instructed her not to move to Miami? Conside
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Sixty-One - An Unexpected Confession
Hayley pulled her luggage out without acknowledging Ashton’s presence. His bipolar attitude confused her. She didn’t know what to think of his announcement anymore. So was it really in jest? Didn’t he have any feelings for her? What about the beautiful moments they shared? Were those fake too? Ashton followed her broodingly, warily looking around him. He knew the caretaker of the house was spying on them. After the wedding, when he and Alexander had gone to the pier to fix a ferry to take them back, he saw Bruce Kingsley’s assistant talking to Joe Symonds, the caretaker of the house. He offered Joe money to find out about Ashton and Hayley’s relationship. Ever since, Joe had been tailing him everywhere. Ashton remembered Bruce Kingsley’s threat. He knew the shrewd criminal wanted to capture Hayley just to get back at him. Therefore, the only way to save her was to show that he wasn’t interested in her. When he saw her, he had momentarily forgotten his predicament and kissed her but
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Sixty-Two - Confronting Madison
“Ms. Barclay, I think a black Cadillac is following us all the way from the airport.” Hayley was instantly on high alert. She knew they had been tailing Ashton since they left the pier. So were they now after her life?“They’re the mafia don, Salvatore Gambino’s men, Mr. Stewart. They were after my boyfriend, and it seems they’re after me as well.” Henry Stewart nodded and called the police for protection. He briefly explained the situation and within minutes, two police patrol cars appeared from nowhere and started chasing the Cadillac. Henry picked up speed and negotiated through the traffic, eager to get home. The Cadillac disappeared into a by-lane, giving up the chase, and Hayley breathed a sigh of relief. This time she was saved, but for how long? Mafia people were a dangerous breed who didn’t give up so easily. They would surely capture her by hook or by crook. “This doesn’t look good, Ms. Barclay. I think you should stay at home for a while until this dies down. I will have
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Sixty-Three - Gambino Is Dead
Ashton gaped at the woman in front of him, as if seeing her for the first time. Her admission completely had him dumbfounded. While he had been wondering about the elusive Francesca, the cause of all his troubles, she was right there in front of him all the time. Every part of the jigsaw puzzle fell into place. No wonder her father’s men were ready to kill him every time she was jealous of Hayley. “What the f*ck? So you are Francesca Gambino, the root cause of my problems? It was because of you that Antonio abducted me, broke my bones, and abandoned me on a deserted beach. It was because of your jealousy that Gambino’s men are chasing me everywhere. Don’t fu*king call yourself my savior. I can’t believe that I associated with a criminal's daughter!” he groaned in agony while Francesca looked hurt by his allegations. “You know what? You’re the biggest as*hole I’ve ever met. I won’t protect you anymore from now on. My dad was right. You don’t deserve my love. You deserve to die. Goodb
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Sixty-Four - Reconnecting With His Dad
After a while, the door of the OT opened, and they wheeled an unconscious man out. Ashton jumped to his feet and reached near him. Even from a distance, he could recognize the face. It was his dad’s! He gazed at his dad, speechless, while the nurses pushed him away. “I’m Ashton Pierce, his son. How is he now?” he asked the first doctor who emerged. “Mr. Pierce, the operation was successful at our end. We will have to observe the patient for the next twenty-four hours. We extracted two bullets from his abdominal cavity through laparoscopy. There was a lot of blood loss within the abdomen, and the viscera around was 50% harmed. We performed a percutaneous endoscopic surgery to extract the third bullet from his spinal canal. There was cerebrospinal fluid leakage and other impairments. We should be able to give a more comprehensive report after a twenty-four observation period.” “Thank you, doctor, but will my dad survive?” he asked in a whisper, unable to even hope. “Let’s observe hi
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Sixty-Five - Devastated
He rushed from one doctor to the other, waiting in front of the OT hopefully, leaving no stone unturned in his attempt to save his dad. The operation was successful. The bullet fragment lodged was removed, and they shifted his dad to the ICU. Ashton didn’t leave the hospital, waiting for the neurological examinations and serial imaging reports. It was evening when his dad gained consciousness and wanted to see him. The nurse allowed him inside the ICU for a brief visit. He went inside to find his dad looking pale and drained. “How are you now, Dad?” he asked, bringing a stool to sit at his bedside. His dad shook his head, having difficulty speaking. “Why did you shift me here, Ashton? This place is so expensive,” he croaked softly, unable to speak much.“It’s okay, Dad. I can afford it. Your health is most important.” “I’m not feeling any better, son. I can feel my body giving up on me,” said his dad, releasing a deep sigh. Ashton grabbed his hand as a feeling of dread washed over
