Hayley glanced at the clock and a tremor of excitement shot through her. She would soon be free to go to Ashton’s cottage and resume where they had left off yesterday. Would he kiss her again? She couldn’t wait to return the tiffin case filled with delicious muffins she had baked early in the morning, surprising Elsa immensely. It seemed pleasing Ashton was the only thing on her mind these days. His kisses, his nearness, affected her so much that Hayley completely forgot to work on her assignment at college. It was the day of submission, and she had to sit in the library all morning to complete and submit it. At work too, her mind was more on Ashton than on completing her work. Her dad checked the number of mistakes she made and shook his head with disappointment. “Hayley, what is the matter with you? Are you tired? Do you want to go home?” asked her dad, closing his laptop to leave for a conference. Startled out of her dreamland, Hayley looked at her dad blankly.“Umm, did you say

The moment he laid her on his bed, Hayley started having second thoughts about his intentions. No, she couldn’t afford to get pregnant at eighteen. Her eyes widened as she watched Ashton come up to hover above her, supporting his weight on his elbow. His hand tucked away the stubborn stray curl that always escaped her bun. Hayley’s breath got stuck in her throat, wondering what he was about to do!“Relax, Hayley!” he whispered, planting a kiss on her forehead. She watched him with awe, a thousand questions flashing across her mind. Would he make love to her now? Or would it be like any other physical intimacy he had with the other women? Would he forget her and move on afterward? No, she couldn’t live after seeing him with another woman!“Why are we here, Ashton?” She gazed into his eyes brimming with tender emotions, something she wasn’t used to witnessing. Was this the same rough, uncaring Ashton who hardly acknowledged her presence in the past? “I can’t see the disappointment in y

The next morning at the breakfast table, Hayley had a tough time explaining herself to her parents. “Where were you last night, young lady? You left early but reached home two hours after I did,” scolded her dad. “I was with Sienna, dad. Why?” She couldn’t meet their gaze and concentrated on the food instead. “On weekdays, you should return home early and study, Hayley. You get ample time to enjoy during the weekend.” “That’s exactly what I’ve been telling you, Hails. When was the last time I saw you studying?” scolded her mom. “I study in the night, mom.” Her parents didn’t pay any heed to her excuses and looked disappointed with her. “I wouldn’t mind if you don’t look into the business now. I just want you to focus on your studies. Your friends are doing the same, aren’t they?” Hayley hung her head with guilt, unable to face her parents. It was true her friends were all busy with their studies and hardly had time to meet her. Alyssa was leaving for California while Eva and Sie

“Hi, Ashton!” Hayley climbed into the car and leaned in to kiss his cheek breathlessly. “Hey!” He smiled but started the car, his glance flicking all over her for a brief second. Although he wanted to grab her for a proper kiss, he restrained himself. He didn’t want the guards stationed at her gates to have anything to complain to her dad about. “What? Are you having second thoughts about dating me?” she asked, seeing his lack of enthusiasm as he drove away from her street. “Nope. Why would I? Are you?” He smiled with relief when she vigorously shook her head. “Not at all! I love dating you!” Ashton couldn’t stop the grin from breaking out on his face as he drove towards Central Park. It had been ages since he had gone there. “What else do you love about me?” Hayley shook her head, an impish smile lighting up her face. “Nothing else! You’re boring!” “Really? I thought I was the most interesting guy on earth! Well, let’s see you change your mind about me tonight.” Hayley turned

Hayley’s heart swelled with intense satisfaction on hearing his promise. He had changed his mind after all! He would marry her! She smiled radiantly at him as he drove her home. “So, will I see you on Monday next?” asked Hayley with a sigh. “I can come down tomorrow evening before heading to Silver Spring.” Ashton smiled at her, loving the way her eyes lit up with hope.“Yes, please. We don’t need to go to an expensive place. We can take a stroll in the park nearby.” “Done. Be ready by 6:30. I’ll message you.”“Are you going to uncle Daniel’s house tomorrow morning?” “No, tonight, after dropping you home.” He frowned as he glanced at the rear-view mirror. Did he just see Salvatore Gambino’s right-hand man, Romano’s Maserati, tailing him? Fear gripped at his heart and he rechecked, but it was gone. Surely it was there a minute ago! Ashton had been so absorbed with Hayley; he had completely forgotten about Gambino and his payment in the last two weeks. He would immediately pay the
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Twenty-Five - Hayley Seeks Help
Hayley waited for Ashton’s message all evening, but he didn’t contact her. Had he forgotten about their date? She called him many times, but his phone kept on ringing. Why wasn’t he accepting her calls? Last night she had waited till he drove away but had to face her mom immediately afterwards. By the time she went up to the terrace to check up on Ashton, he had already left. Her house being the last on the street, she couldn’t see the crossing even from the terrace. After a restless night, she woke up on Monday morning to get ready for college. It was the usual scene at the breakfast table. Her parents kept on harping about her lack of interest in her studies. Hayley was too annoyed to sit through breakfast. Picking up an apple, she got up to leave. “Have your breakfast before you go, Hayley,” said her mom. “I lost my appetite. You can eat my share.” Picking up her car keys, she stomped out of the house to the garage, ignoring her grumbling parents. With everything going against h

“The forensic department just confirmed that the tyre marks are made by Pirelli tyres usually used by Maserati cars. We’ll wait for an update from the traffic control department.” said the officer, walking back to his car. Her dad and uncle thanked him for his help, but Hayley didn’t want to wait that long to rescue Ashton. She walked along the street, desperately trying to look for more evidence that would help them find Ashton fast. What if the abductors killed him? “Hayley, get into the car. I’ll drop you at your college,” said her dad, but she wasn’t listening. A shiny metal stud lying at the side of the street got her attention. Was it a clue? She bend down to pick up the object and looked at it closely. It was a shirt button! Hayley gasped, recognizing it immediately. It was from the shirt Ashton wore on Saturday night for their date. That was one of his special shirts he wore on special occasions. “Hayley, what are you doing there?” asked her uncle. It brought her to her sens
Resist Me If You Can (Temptation Series Book 5) Chapter Twenty-Seven - Rescued!
Ashton could feel being lifted and carried out to a waiting car, but he couldn’t open his eyes or move his limbs. An excruciating pain made him numb all over and he hovered on the brink of losing consciousness. He could feel the car move forward and the men whisper in their native language, but he couldn’t get up and check his surroundings. Every bump on the road increased the unbearable pain in his body and he was sure to have sprained some bones. The car stopped after a while and the men picked him up and dumped him on the ground before fleeing back to their vehicle.“Let’s get away before the cops arrive.” Ashton felt his back hit the soft sand beneath him. It was wet and cold! Did they leave him at the water’s edge to die? Yet he couldn’t open his eyes! In the meantime: Officer Thornhill received incessant calls from the police station, giving him fake updates about the case. “People have gone crazy after watching the news. They all want the reward money. It’s difficult to gaug
