[KIMBERLY]“Drake?” The name sounded familiar and painful to me as everything started rushing like adrenaline into my mind.Drake.It has been many years now and I haven’t heard from him or gotten any update about him. I really pushed him away from my life so he wouldn’t constantly become my vulnerability but how can a mother abandon her own child?The shame, the pain and the guilt covered my face like a mist as I controlled my gaze - keeping stern not to trigger any of Ashman’s sensibility.Why was he bringing up his matter after all these years?I chinned up and faced him. With my eyebrows frequently raising waiting for him to continue his statement.“Don’t you want to know what is happening around your son?” his husky voice came up resonating the atmosphere and I curled my lips.“And why should I care?” I asked as though I didn't care. Meanwhile, I wanted to know the full details, absolutely everything about him.Is he okay? Has he been eating? Where is he? Who is he with and who t
ANDREAI know others might call my feelings for Amos unfaithful and not stronger but I was the bearer and I know myself more than anyone can comprehend.I loved Amos so much. So much that I promised to leave the Ashman’s after Ashely’s two years' birthday and stay with him forever.But unfortunately, our promise ended up as a faint wish and was impossible to achieve. He died. He betrayed me. He left me.Do you expect me to continue clinging on to a past, on the dead that will never return to me? No.If anything, I have suffered so much in this life and seen so many messes at a tender age and I got the habit of encouraging myself if nobody does. And I have already convinced myself that there was more to life than being Amos' woman.I can live my life without getting married. Become the best servant of Lady Kim. And Ashley’s closest aunt.That was also my wish, so I can't leave here all because Amos was no longer here. I can't break down and cry like a lizard all because a man left - th
KIMBERLYThe wolf doctor, Francis, came over the next morning to check on Ashley’s health. This has been the normal routine every month but this time he came earlier because Ashley suddenly had midnight fever.Ashman left the mansion immediately to deal with Drake’s unending health issue while I faced mine. He promised that he was willing to keep him safe and most of all Drake was the guardian of his pack since he has been with him for years. I found this annoying but I had to go with the flow.After all, guiding Ashman’s pack was as well as protecting Ashley and I.“What is wrong with her?” I asked, caressing Ashley who was sleeping on the bed.“It’s nothing to be afraid of. Your child is growing faster than a normal child should and is developing new stages.” he explained to me as he started arranging the injections and medicines into his bag.“Stages like?” I raised a bow.“Growing teeth, having to connect with her mind and other attributes that are to come when she grows up.” He i
[KIMBERLY]“Mafia boss?” I scoffed, turning to the other side of my bed.He claimed to be a mafia boss who has a lot of nemesis. He thinks I would believe such blatant lies.Anyways, since he has agreed to my terms - he better get ready to see things right.The next morning, Ashman woke up very early - unlike usual - and I followed him.“Are you serious?” He looked at me in astonishment and couldn't believe his eyes, I smirked.“Yes, I’m” I shoved him aside to use the restroom since he was done with it.I rolled my eyes all over the man before me. Ashman asked that I wait for him in the parking lot but the person I saw there also got me curious.It was the same man I saw in his office the other day - looking charming and partially different from Amos.“Greetings to you, ma’am.” He bowed shortly when he couldn’t take in all of my stare, I smirked.“And you are?” I curled my lips walking closer to the car.“I’m Axel, Lord Ashman's new bodyguard and right hand man.” He informed me and my
[KIMBERLY]“So, we are here. What should I do?” I asked as my eyes scanned the dark room before returning back to Ashman and the chief.“Are you so impatient?” Ashman scoffed.“She is now a part of us so you can continue.” Ashman informed the chief who doesn't seem comfortable with the idea.“Master, you know how risky it can be bringing a woman into the team?” Chief called him out of his thoughts.“She is strong enough to protect herself, besides, she is not my weakness.” He said and shoved the chief away whilst walking into the dark lobby.I didn’t know if I should say his last word hurt, but maybe it did because my facial expression dropped.“So?” I wiggled my brow at him.“Are you sure about this? Once you step into that room there will be no turning back aside from death…” I assumed he was trying to scare me away but unfortunately, I was born ready for this day.“I have never regretted any of my decisions.” I said to him steadily.He exhaled deeply before turning to Axel who has
[ASHMAN]“You just killed him like that?” She asked me anxiously, looking terrified and I smirked.“You said you wanted to learn what I do, right? Well, this is it and only a tip of an iceberg.” I sneered, staring straight into her yellow horrified eyes.The chief of my cybermen approached me with a small smile on his face, and I walked away from Kimberly a bit.“What’s the update?” I asked him.“Just as you had assumed. He has two grandsons and a daughter with his old wife.” the chief began.“As you instructed, we killed them all excluding his old wife who will die any moment from now.” he informed me sternly and i smiled.“Good job.” I lauded at him and he nodded.“It’s our job, Master.” He said and looked at Kimberly who motioned at us.“You also killed his family?” she scoffed, looking astonished. “He has already given you what you asked for, why did you massacre his family?” she questioned with contempt.“I hate leaving a mole in whatever I do.” I said to her, steadily.“A mole?
[ASHMAN]He followed me into the room without saying a word, I knew he was also feeling guilty over what he did.I leaned on my desk and turned to him, staring all over him. Immediately, he lowered his gaze."Do you know what you did?" I asked him."I'm sorry, My Lord." he said bickering, having no courage to look at me.I smirked rubbing my chin."I asked you a fucking question, do you know your crime?" I made a comeback staring at him with disdain."I can't tell, My Lord." He said frantically."Your first crime was touching my woman, who gave you that right!?" I yelled at him in exasperation."And not just anywhere, her lips?!" I was so annoyed and boiling in rage as he fell on his knees willfully.He didn't know how I was able to hold myself all through the ride."I'm sorry, My Lord. I was only helping..." he began but I interrupted him by turning back to him."You have no right! Her health, her beauty or her concerns shouldn't be your business!" I queried in annoyance.I can't bel
[ASHMAN]"My Lord, she did a good job." the chief who was standing beside me said with a marveled voice.We have been watching Kimberly's action from the moment she stepped into the restaurant and I must admit, she surprised me."She did better than me, when I started this business." He made a come back after a few minute and I smirked."Glad you admitted that." I scorned him."My Lord, does this mean we have accepted her into the group?" he asked."Of course. Before given her the 002 title, what do you think?" I raised a brow fringing annoyance and he nodded constantly."You are right. You are right." He said."I will ask my men to fix an identification card for her, it will be delivered by tomorrow." He informed me courteously and I nodded."That's okay." I tucked my hand into my trouser pocket."Since she is done with this. Let's proceed to the next target." I sneered."Yes, My Lord." He said and suddenly his facial expression dropped."It has been difficult to find him since he tr
