“Ohh I..I was less busy so I thought to arrange my old stuff, it was quite dusty because I had left them for a long time” She hurriedly replied, Alan holding her gaze for quite a long time.“Mmm, you are putting yourself to good use. I am hungry, make me lasagna, don't add too much chili” Alan instructed, handing the kitchen keys to her.“Okay, I will change my clothes then”Ashley proceeded to make Alan’s meal when she was done she set the tables and went to call him.“Sit and join me” Alan invited her, making her sit opposite him.Dishing her food, she ate from it silently and when she was done, she did the dishes, returned the key, and headed to her room.Slumping on the bed “All of a sudden, I became a liar and a thinker” She chuckled.“This is crazy, but I will be out of here soon that is what matters the most, I can't keep up” “I hope Mom takes this well” She mumbled, turning to the other direction and sleeping off.

The ray of the sunlight scorched through the window bringing light into Ashley’s room. She arose, rubbing her eyes as she glanced at the emptiness of the room. Today she is leaving everything behind and moving to Los Angeles or better still running away from her husband. She was not entirely in the best mood but she was glad she made the decision for her unborn baby.She went about her morning duties; Cleaning the living room and Alan’s room when she was done, she was served that small portion of food yet again.“I made the best decision. '' She mumbled, scoping the last spoonful of food inside her mouth.Alan left for work like the normal usual days not knowing that his life was about to change, the wife he had locked away from the world was finally taking a bold step to run away for the safety of their child whom he solely hated to talk about.Ashley glanced at her reflection for the last time “Ma the coast is clear, if we leave now we won't get caught” The worker informed Ashley.

After Alan left Andrea’s place he drove home dejectedly, it was as if karma was playing a dirty game on him. No one seems to know where Ashley has gone or maybe they didn't want to tell him.Clicking the door open, the emptiness of the house welcomed him, he walked to his wine cellar to drown himself with Alcohol.Swirling the glass of whisky, he picked up his phone and dialed a number “I need to know if Mrs Ashley Anderson flew out of the international airport yesterday and where she had gone to” He said clumsily to the person over the phone.“I will get on it and inform you soon” The person replied and the call beeped.Sipping his glass, she glanced at the pictures of Ashley he managed to save in his phone.“Where are you?” He asked in pain.Thirty minutes later, his phone rang.“Yes”“I am sorry Sir, no one with that name boarded the plane yesterday” He informed him.“Mmm” He hummed and ended the call. He got up and staggered to his room.***********Andrea stopped by Ashley’s moth

“Did you drop the letter with my mom?” Ashley asked Drea over the phone.“Yes I did,” She replied.“What was her reaction?” She probed“Ash, I didn't wait for her reaction. I couldn't stand the look of your mother when she read the letter” Drea groaned.“Mmm”“How was your trip?” Drea tried to change the topic.“It was a good one and this place is nice” Ashley replied.“Okay, Alan was at my place” She informed her.“It was expected, what did he say?”“He asked where you were, I obviously didn't tell him but he looked kind of miserable,” Drea added.“Okay,” Ashley breathed.“You are not bothered?”“Why would I be?

“You have been crying a lot lately, I am baffled,” Sean said looking surprised but Alan ignored him.“Bro, what's the problem?” “I accused Ashley of removing her birth control because she wanted to get pregnant to tie me down, now the doctor called telling me that she needs to come and remove it so it doesn't affect the baby” He paused, shaking his head.“So you mean she hasn't removed it?” Sean asked while Alan nodded.“Bro I messed up” He dragged his hair, looking frustrated. “Alan calm down” “Calm down?, do you know what I have done to Ashley, I starved her, and gave her strenuous work because I felt she betrayed me. I even called her many nasty names” Alan declared almost in tears.Sean rubbed his head, Alan walked closer to him “Sean please I need to find my woman and make things right.
