Alan woke up in Ashely's embrace, he watched as she snored softly for a while before heading to the gym.Stirring from her sleep, Ashely opened her eyes slowly trying to boot herself for the day, she turned and met the side of the bed empty.“Where did he go?”She mumbled, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She got off the bed heading towards her room to freshen up and start her day. She was going to hang out with Shelly and Andrea later today and she was super excited about it.“There you are,” Alan's mom squealed when she saw Ashley climbing down the stairs.“Mom, I didn't know you were here, Good morning” Ashely greeted, hugging her.“Morning my dear, I cooked. We should dine together since we are family,” His mom said after the hug.“You look more beautiful than the last time I saw you and you have this glow, my son is doing a good job” She exclaimed excitedly causing Ashely to blush, hiding her face in her palms.“Have you seen him?” Ashely asked scanning around for a glimpse of Alan.“I ha

“Are you both being real?” She asked them after spitting out her drink.“Yes, we just wanted to know,” The both of them said laughing while Ashley shook her head.Their food was served and they all ate, talked, and laughed together.“I had fun let's do this again,” Shelly said hugging the both of them at the parking space as they bid goodbye.“Good evening” Ashley greeted Alan the moment she walked in and met him sitting on the couch in the living room.“How was the outing?” Alan probed, staring at her.“It was good and I had fun, now I understand what you meant earlier and you didn't have to do that,” Ashely said, frowning at him remembering how Shelly and Drea mocked her because of the hickey.“Have you seen yourself? You are extremely beautiful and I would stare at you if I didn't know you, so I had to mark my territory,” Alan said, one thing about Alan, he never fails to tell her how beautiful she is.“I am putting on my wedding ring that's more than enough to show that I am take

“If you can stop smiling at other men like a cheap whore, I won't speak to you like that. All of you are just the same.” He yelled back at her while Ashely stared at him in disdain.Ashely's chuckled at what he said “ Cheap whore that's what you have always thought of me” Ashely said tears threatening to fall from her eyes while Alan rubbed his hands on his face in frustration.“Ashely” “D…don't you dare call me” Ashely said, raising her fingers at him and walking off to her room.Alan stood up walking to the wine bar on the other side of the living room, he sat on one of the high seats, pouring himself a glass of whiskey and gulping it in a go. He didn't mean to call her a cheap whore but it just happened in the heat of things and it hurts him so much because he knows she is anything but not a whore.“Of all things, he could only think of me as a cheap whore” Ashley mumbled tears shimmering down her chin. She stood for long in the shower allowing the water to wash off her pains.“Goo

“You are getting married?” The blonde lady in Ashely's office screamed while the rest looked in amazement and shock.Chuckling lightly “I am already married, I am just having a wedding,” Ashely said, flaunting her ring, she never wore her ring to work but now that everyone knows there is nothing to hide.Rolling her eyes “What's the difference, I wonder who would have agreed to marry a clumsy woman like you” She commented sarcastically.“Congratulations, your ring looks very expensive” The other lady squealed, making Ashley laugh lightly.Scoffing “ That's fake, I am sure she is married to a commoner” She scorned.“You would be shocked,” Ashley said boldly at her, walking to her desk.“So you are letting the world know,” Sean said looking at Alan who was seated in his office chair rocking the pen in his hand.“Mmm, I mean they were going to know one way or the other,” Alan said nonchalantly.“I am sure you did this for a reason,” Sean said, scrutinizing him.“The likes of Malcolm need

“Please let him in,” The Baker replied.“I am sorry for being late,” Alan said, placing a kiss on her forehead while Ashley smiled at him.“It's fine, am glad you came despite your busy schedule” Ashley smiled at him.“Let's get into it” The baker instructed them, passing the system to them.“I chose a three-tiered cake but am not sure of the color, what do you think?” Ashley asked Alan who was engrossed with the cake displayed in front of him.“Hmmm, the three-tiered cake is okay or we can make four to be more elaborate, it's our big day, and the color… your eyes” He exclaimed staring at her eyes, Ashely looking confusedly at him.“What's wrong with my eyes?” Ashley said, shooting him a quizzical look, the baker staring at them with a smile.“The color should be the color of your eyes, blue,” Alan said slowly.Ashley blushed at his words “ Not a bad idea tho, how about we make it blue and then a hazel flower design wrapped around it, how does that sound?” Ashely smiled asking the ba

“What did I miss?” Alan asked Ashley as he arrived home.“I don't get you, what did you miss?” Ashley returned the question.“So I got a call from a certain someone telling me that you are now part of his responsibility and I shouldn't think of hurting you,” Alan said in exasperation.Laughing lightly “Ooh Sean, I asked him to walk me down the altar and he seemed happy doing it and then he started calling me his younger sister. It feels so good having an elder brother” Ashley narrated excitedly while Alan stared in amazement at her bubbly nature.“I haven't seen you this happy, you didn't tell me you would choose him,” Alan said.“Well I wasn't sure if he would accept so I didn't spill the tea,” Ashley said sitting on the couch in his bedroom.Pulling his shirt off “How did the appointment with the fashion designer go?” Alan asked.“Have you heard of don't judge a book by its cover?"That's what I and the girls experienced today. The man wore a pink suit, it was crazy at first till…” A

Alan was pacing around his office for over 30 minutes, he spoke to Ashley this morning and she was on her way out with the girls. He was really adamant about knowing where they went but she couldn't disclose because she didn't know where they were going.Picking up his car keys, he headed out of his office.Raising his head and looking towards the door direction because someone came in “Okay what's with the look on your face? Sean asked Alan who walked into his office looking perplexed.“Where did Shelly tell you she was going to today?” Alan asked, settling on the couch across from Sean's office.“I don't know, she said she would be out with the girls” Sean answered shrugging nonchalantly.“How can you not know where she went to, she is your woman,” Alan asked, staring hard at him.“Chill bro, what is all this about?” Sean asked, joining him on the couch.“Ashley said they were taking her somewhere, and I need to know where my wife is,” Alan said, rubbing his forehead in frustration.

Alan stood at the entrance door of the VIP staring gravely at Ashley who was tipsy and didn't even know how to act.He walked close to her staring at her outfit, his jaw tightening as he clutched his hands tightly “Stand up” He commanded Ashely who stared at him in confusion.Laughing lightly “Me?” Ashley asked, staring around her to be sure that the grumpy man in front of her was referring to her.“I said you should get up” Alan roared furiously, while Ashley moved back in fear.Tapping Shelly “ Why is he yelling at me? He is acting like my grumpy husband,” Ashley muttered.“Ashley please this is not time for a joke, Alan is standing in front of you” Shelly whispered, the look on Alan's face was very scary.Standing up and walking close to Alan “ You look like someone I know, doesn't he look like Alan?” Ashley asked proudly, placing her hands on his shoulder and staring at the three figures in the room.“H..He looks like him because it is him” Andrea stuttered.Pulling a confused fac
